The tattered robes on the skull swayed slightly.
"Demonicization...mutation...interesting..."
A barely audible whisper vanished in the wind, and a cloud of jet-black mist rose from the skull's palm. The mist twisted a few times in the wind before transforming into a bird and swiftly flying away.
——————————
Following the thick, inky fog, Lin Qian and the leopard continued to approach the center of the oasis.
Beneath the boulder, Lin Qian watched the black mist dissipate like flying catkins, his expression growing serious.
The leopard was tense and very alert, sensing an inexplicable sense of intimidation that made it wary.
"Ouch." Let's go up, be careful.
Lin Qian looked at the black mist gathering on the boulder and decided to go up. Having already followed them this far, there was no reason not to continue. He needed to at least figure out what this black mist was.
The leopard nodded, indicating that it understood and could keep up.
Leaping through the air was an easy task for Lin Qian and the leopard. They quickly landed on the boulder and were both startled when they saw the ragged figure. Then they became even more vigilant.
"Whoosh—"
The moment Lin Qian and the leopard arrived, the black mist instantly surged into the skeleton beneath the tattered black robe, and eerie black flames ignited in its empty eye sockets, causing the skeleton's aura to surge dramatically.
In Lin Qian's spiritual consciousness, this change was like a dead object suddenly coming to life. The skeleton, which had previously shown no signs of life or energy fluctuations, was now bursting with an intense and undeniable vitality.
This change startled both Lin Qian and the leopard. Although the leopard didn't have a strong spiritual sense to detect it, its spiritual perception was still able to sense it. It felt immense pressure, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Lin Qian looked at the nervous leopard, turned his head and growled softly, "Awooo." You wait here, I'll go check the situation.
Although Lin Qian was confident in his own strength, anything could happen in this world. The leopard was weaker and had been suppressed too much, so it was better to be careful.
Lin Qian slowly stepped forward. It sensed something was wrong; it was a feeling of being out of control...
"brush!
"
At a distance of fifty meters, a white figure suddenly darted out, and the flying sword attacked the skeleton figure without warning.
"Bang..." The sword tip pierced the cloak and collided with the bones, but the expected disintegration of the skeleton did not occur.
The tattered cloak had a large hole in it, and Lin Qian could clearly see a skeleton—a frame that faintly emitted a golden glow, and it was no ordinary skeleton.
The spiritual sense swept over, but it was unable to probe or perceive the other party. It was as if the other party was shrouded in an invisible membrane, completely blocking all means of detection.
“Flying sword…East…” Just as Lin Qian was retracting his flying sword, the skeleton suddenly spoke. The voice was still very low, but Lin Qian heard it clearly.
Lin Qian instantly erected a spiritual energy shield around his body. The skeleton's words didn't frighten him; at most, they would surprise him. But he absolutely couldn't be without precautions, since who knew what strange tricks this thing might have up its sleeve.
The leopard behind also heard the sound and immediately raised its spiritual energy shield. Spirit beasts have extremely strong hearing, and it was especially focused on the skeleton, so it was impossible for it not to hear it.
The skeleton suddenly moved, its empty eye sockets glowing with eerie fire, and slowly turned toward Lin Qian.
"Don't... worry, I... meant no harm..."
The voice was faint and hollow. Although it was friendly, Lin Qian and the leopard remained on high alert. They wouldn't believe it so easily.
"It's obvious at a glance..."
The skeleton didn't take it seriously. After a whisper, a dark flame suddenly flew towards Lin Qian from its eye socket. Lin Qian's spiritual energy shield was completely powerless to resist, and the flame instantly flew into Lin Qian's sea of consciousness.
boom--!
A silent roar echoed in his mind, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Qian entered a memory.
It clearly recognizes that it has been incorporated into a certain memory, but it is unable to move and can only exist as an observer.
Lin Qian immediately understood the skeleton's intention. It seemed that the skeleton wanted to tell it something first. The skeleton's methods were unpredictable. If it really wanted to do something to them, it would have done so long ago. There was no need for such roundabout methods.
Once Lin Qian understood, he stopped worrying and decided to wait and see.
——————————
"Holy Lord, everything has been arranged." In the majestic hall of holy light, a four-winged angel reported to a figure.
The figure radiated a white glow, pure and inviolable, and no living being could look directly at his face.
"Go." A majestic voice rang out, and the angel bowed devoutly before slowly retreating.
Although this scene was strange, Lin Qian suddenly realized something. Could this be a secret of the West? The Holy Lord and the angels, it's probably true!
Lin Qian suddenly recalled the description of the West in the inheritance given by the Tiger Saint. The last paragraph said that the arrogance of the Western Holy Lord caused the Western spiritual veins to be mostly destroyed, and they had to seal the spiritual veins to avoid being affected. As for other information, there was no detailed record, so Lin Qian had not paid much attention to it before.
But now, Lin Qian's memories were instantly triggered, and he became interested in them. Perhaps the truth was in these memories!
The scene shifts, and Lin Qian sees the radiant figure injecting strange and inexplicable energy into various spiritual veins in the west, setting up arrays. Lin Qian doesn't know the purpose of these methods, but it inexplicably feels uneasy, even if it's just a memory.
