The moment Jiang Hao collapsed, Zhu Lin immediately cast a magical shield on him. The shield shattered in less than a breath. Zhu Lin cast another magical shield, but it too failed to last a moment.
The teamwork among them was already incredibly smooth, and Qiu Si didn't hesitate to immediately activate his invincible skill.
A thin, transparent light shield immediately formed around Jiang Hao's body. However, Jiang Hao's pain came from his soul. Unless he could sever the soul link with the little skeleton, even if he didn't die from the pain, he would be tormented by those evil thoughts to the point of madness.
After seeing the little skeleton enter the ice, Jiang Hao fainted. Although he didn't know what had happened, from the pained expressions of both the little skeleton and Jiang Hao, Yun Xinghe could easily guess that something had gone wrong with the little skeleton, causing Jiang Hao to be in this state.
Yun Xinghe stopped looking at Jiang Hao and instead focused all his attention on the little skeleton inside the thick ice.
The little skeleton lay supine on the stone throne. It appeared to be unconscious. A transparent, invincible shield appeared around it, being squeezed and deformed by an unseen, immense force, like a lump of dough being vigorously kneaded, as if it would shatter at any moment.
After holding out for two seconds, the invincible shield finally burst open with a snap.
The little skeleton, already unconscious, seemed to have been struck by a steel hammer, its bones cracking with fine fissures. The soul fire in its head dimmed by sixty percent, as if a gentle breeze could extinguish it.
Yun Xinghe was utterly shocked. He didn't know how much power it would take to achieve such a feat.
Seeing the cracks slowly spreading across the little skeleton's bones and its soul fire becoming increasingly unstable, Yun Xinghe grew even more anxious. He pulled Zuo Ming over and said, "Quick, quick, can you transfer my invincible shield to that little skeleton in the ice?"
Zuo Ming nodded, but didn't make any move. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "It won't work. Qiu Si's skills are too overpowered. I can't teleport."
Yun Xinghe was both anxious and helpless, and could only look carefully at the little skeleton in the ice.
“Um, I sensed two extremely powerful forces within that ice layer, each with a completely opposing attribute. If the captain’s summons simply try to withstand it, they probably won’t last long.”
When Zuo Ming's voice came from beside him, Yun Xinghe looked at him with some surprise.
In fact, Yun Xinghe had just noticed it as well. The little skeleton was lying on its back on the stone seat, and the cracks on its front were slowly deepening and widening, while the cracks on its back showed signs of slowly healing. If it weren't for his Heavenly Eye skill, which allowed him to see even the smallest details, he certainly wouldn't have noticed such a strange thing happening inside the ice.
When Zuo Ming pointed this out so clearly, Yun Xinghe couldn't help but wonder how he knew.
Zuo Ming shook his head and said, "I didn't use your talent. Have you forgotten my talent? Yin-Yang Conversion!"
Zuo Mingyi was trying to remind the other party of his specialty, but Yun Xinghe was completely oblivious and just looked at him blankly.
Zuo Ming bluntly said, "I'm quite sensitive to energy. I sensed the energy in the ice a long time ago. Only by converting those two energies can the captain's summoned creature survive."
Yun Xinghe understood, and he grabbed Zuo Ming's hand, saying, "How do we switch?"
Zuo Ming took a big step forward, breaking free from Yun Xinghe's hand, and shouted, "Watch closely, that's how you switch!"
"What's wrong with you two? Can't you see the captain is unconscious? You have no sense at all, and you don't even know to come and help!"
Zhu Lin's urgent voice came from behind.
The two turned around and saw Zhu Lin continuously casting spell shields on Jiang Hao. Luo Zai and Ling Feng were standing next to her, opening bottle after bottle of mana potions and handing them to Zhu Lin to replenish her mana.
One by one, magical shields were cast on Jiang Hao, but he remained unconscious, his limbs twitching occasionally, perfectly synchronized with the little skeleton's movements. Li Duofu and Sun Zhi were constantly trying to force-feed Jiang Hao blood potions, but every potion they managed to get swallowed was immediately vomited up, driving the two grown men to the brink of tears.
Yun Xinghe knew the key wasn't with Jiang Hao; his teammates were just wasting their time. He simply said, "Coming right away," as a perfunctory response.
Turning to look at Zuo Ming, Yun Xinghe waited a moment, but the guy didn't make any move, only a fine sheen of sweat appeared on his forehead. Yun Xinghe looked at the little skeleton in confusion, only to find that the little skeleton had already changed.
The cracks on the little skeleton's body were slowly thinning and narrowing, and at the same time, the soul fire in its head finally stabilized, its blue color growing deeper and deeper.
Yun Xinghe slapped Zuo Ming and exclaimed, "You're awesome, kid!"
Although Zuo Ming did not move, the beads of sweat on his forehead increased, clearly indicating that converting such a huge amount of energy was not easy for him.
About half an hour later, the little skeleton woke up from his coma, and Jiang Hao also woke up at the same time.
Jiang Hao opened his eyes and saw his teammates had already surrounded him. He swayed slightly as he stood up, and was immediately supported by Li Duofu and Sun Zhi.
He no longer felt any malice creeping into his soul, but perhaps the damage he had suffered before was too severe, leaving him feeling dizzy.
Seeing that Jiang Hao had gotten up from the ground and the little skeleton was sitting on the stone chair, Yun Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that choosing to come in this time was indeed a wise decision.
Since awakening, the little skeleton had sensed something amiss within its body. The malevolent thoughts that arose from above were being guided into the surging life force beneath its feet, and then into its own soul fire, constantly strengthening its soul power.
The life force beneath his feet was guided to circulate above his head, helping him resist the invasion of evil thoughts, and then it was guided into his body, tempering his body every moment.
It's as if someone around you is drawing a mysterious Tai Chi symbol with the two energies of life and death.
After a moment's thought, the little skeleton had mastered the method of energy guidance. It then began to guide the two opposing energies, one above the other, to circulate around its body, and then guided the transformed energy into its own body.
Half an hour later, Zuo Ming stared dumbfounded at the little skeleton in the ice, not even hearing what Jiang Hao said to him.
Yun Xinghe realized something and swayed in front of him, asking, "What's wrong? Are you stupid?"
Zuo Ming turned around and saw Jiang Hao standing behind him. He said absentmindedly, "Captain... Captain, is your summoned creature... a demon?"
