"What if we kill them?" Jiang Yuan glanced at the hundreds of walking corpses around him.

"I temporarily sealed the evil creature with the Bagua. After killing all the walking corpses, the evil creature will reveal its true form. But I don't want you to use it. Our Tieling Village is in such a state because of it, so I hope you can destroy it!" Blood was already flowing from the old woman's eyes.

"I can only try!" Jiang Yuan dared not agree; there were too many walking corpses.

"Then I'll give you another hand!" The old woman made a hand seal, and the little blood she had left began to flow backward.

In just a moment, the Bagua symbol covering the Heavenly Soul Child emitted a bloody light.

"Lan'er, don't be afraid, Grandma will take you home!" The old woman slowly lowered her eyelids and fell silent completely.

The head on the corpse slowly disappeared, replaced by a small jade child statue.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

Jiang Yuan could tell that the old woman was dead, and the connection between the rotting corpse and the walking corpse had been severed, but who could tell him what to do next?

After losing contact with the rotting corpses, the walking corpses all rushed towards Jiang Yuan, because he was the only living person there.

"If you don't know what to do, then fight until you do!" Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth, picked up his folding iron knife, and started hacking at the walking corpses.

After a few cuts, Jiang Yuan's mindset changed.

"Is this walking corpse so easy to handle?" Jiang Yuan asked in surprise, because the walking corpse seemed to react very slowly. Having gotten used to fighting monsters, he felt as if he had suddenly entered slow motion.

"Super Awakening - Soul Energy System Activating, Soul Energy: 0.6"

"What the heck?"

Jiang Yuan felt a sudden dizziness, and a message from his Heavenly Eye was sent to his brain. He quickly understood what it meant: "Could it be just an empty shell like the Strength system again?"

As he spoke, he tried it out!

"Okay, I was too naive!" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly. Soul energy, like his physical energy, is the type that is stored up first and can only be used after the spirit is awakened.

The second walking corpse lay down, and the Heavenly Eye activated again, "Soul Energy: 1.1".

"No way, this walking corpse can even explode souls?" Jiang Yuan was incredibly excited. He had never heard of such a monster before. "Wow, how can I miss this opportunity!"

Stimulated by the soul energy, Jiang Yuan became even more excited. With each strike of the folding iron knife, green light flew out from the corpse of the second-time dead and entered Jiang Yuan's body, causing his soul energy to continue to rise.

However, the walking corpses were not easy prey; several of them were at the third tier, and their sheer numbers gave Jiang Yuan a tough time.

So, in the middle of the night, a terrifying scene unfolded: a man venting his anger on a group of walking corpses.

Jiang Yuan's bloodlust was completely ineffective against the corpse, but seeing his soul energy rapidly increasing, he couldn't give up.

Twenty bodies! Soul energy increased to eight.

Fifty bodies! Soul energy increased to fifteen.

One hundred bodies! Soul energy increased to twenty-three.

As soul energy increases, killing zombies can no longer generate the same amount of soul energy as at the beginning.

By the time he reached the 130th body, he could no longer obtain any soul energy, and at that moment his soul energy level was fixed at 25.

This number means that once he awakens his spirit, he will directly become a fourth-tier soul energy type, and he not only possesses soul energy, but also has twenty-three points of physical energy.

Everything is ready, except for the initiation of the spirit.

"It's time to end this!" Jiang Yuan pulled out his ultimate weapon. "Although we're complete strangers, I feel bad for torturing your corpses, so in the end, I'll let you rest in peace!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of gunshots rang out.

Jiang Yuan killed these walking corpses with firearms. Walking corpses don't drop anything; these are just puppets of the Heavenly Soul Child, so guns are a better way to deal with them.

As all the walking corpses fell silent again, the rotting corpse created by the Heavenly Soul Child also disappeared. Jiang Yuan sighed and laid the old woman, who had already died, flat. "Old lady, I can tell you were a good person! But good people don't live long in this world, so please forgive me for going against your last wishes!"

Yes, Jiang Yuan never intended to destroy the Heavenly Soul Child. He wanted to control it, even though just a few days ago this evil creature had taken the lives of a village of one or two hundred people.

"In-depth analysis!"

"Celestial Soul Child, Quality: None, Level: Perfect".

"Note: This is one of the best choices for an external avatar, but the Heavenly Soul Child is inherently evil and difficult to control, so use it with caution."

Jiang Yuan silently picked up the box on the ground and then put the Heavenly Soul Child into it. He possessed soul energy but could not use it, so he could not recognize the Heavenly Soul Child as his master.

As for the backlash from the Heavenly Soul Child, that's a joke. He possesses the Heavenly Eye and is not afraid of the Heavenly Soul Child's bewitching at all.

"Everyone, may you rest in peace!"
