Chapter 195: The Obsession of the Corpse
As the Flower of Origin was stimulated, Chen Huaian gradually felt something was wrong, and he even felt a hint of chill.
"No, how long has it been since I felt this way?"
Chen Huaian wanted to stop what he was doing, but when he saw a gathering of light spots, he gave up the idea.
Those light spots are the souls that dissipated before the corpse died. Those light spots are gathering together, which means that the flower of tracing origin has taken effect. How can we give up halfway?
Chen Huaian used the Flower of Origin with greater force. He devoted almost his whole body and soul to it, so much so that he didn't even notice that his fingertips turned slightly black.
He didn't notice it until one of his fingers turned completely black. He was shocked and said, "Oh no!"
He immediately stopped using the Flower of Origin and cast a formation to trap those light spots.
“It’s actually death energy!”
How could Chen Huaian not be shocked? That was the deathly aura that everyone feared!
All living things have death energy, and the death energy is most intense when they are about to die. However, when the living thing dies, the death energy will dissipate with the death of the living thing. This death energy still exists for a period of time after the death of the living thing. This is not simple death energy, someone is cultivating death energy!
He looked at his fingers that had turned black and cast the Flower of Origin again. He did not stop until his fingers had completely recovered to their original state.
At this moment, he was sweating coldly. If he hadn't reacted quickly and didn't give the death energy a chance to spread, he might have been surrounded by the death energy. At that time, it would not be something that could be solved simply by using the Flower of Origin.
At that time, he might have been close to death.
Miaoyou and Baili Yifeng saw Chen Huaian suddenly stop, and hurried forward to ask him what happened.
Chen Huaian told them that it was death energy. When the two heard it, their hearts trembled. That was death energy. The death energy that ordinary people would try to avoid at all costs actually existed on the corpse. This was very unreasonable!
"How do you feel now?" Miao You asked. She knew the horror of death energy. Just a little bit of it was enough to take a person's life.
"It's okay, I have already expelled the death energy from my body, and I'm fine now." Chen Huaian replied. At this moment, he looked at the corpse with lingering fear. He concluded that this corpse must have offended an extremely powerful existence before his death, and that existence cultivated death energy.
Chen Huaian exhaled deeply, and Baili Yifeng watched from the side. He really wanted to help Chen Huaian, but he only wanted to do so because he was afraid of death. Ever since he had the Taiyin Sword, he wanted to live more than anyone else, because his life was tied to the Taiyin Sword at all times.
Chen Huaian walked towards the light spots that he had trapped with the formation. He looked at those light spots and sighed.
Miao You saw him sighing and asked, "What happened? Why are you sighing?"
"These are not souls." Chen Huaian replied.
"If it's not a soul, then what is it?" Miao You asked again. Baili Yifeng felt very sad when he saw them talking. He was like a stranger and couldn't get a word in.
"It's an obsession, an extremely persistent obsession."
"Obsession?" Miao You was puzzled. "Why is it obsession?"
"His soul has been dissipating for too long, but his obsession is too strong. Therefore, it dissipates more slowly, and some of it remains."
"What happened? Why is there such a strong obsession?" Baili Yifeng asked. After Baili Yifeng finished speaking, Chen Huaian and Miao You turned their heads to look at him at the same time. Baili Yifeng felt a little embarrassed when he saw the two of them turning their heads at the same time. He put his index finger on his face and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Nothing, I just think you asked a good question." Chen Huaian replied, and Miao You nodded. This was also the question she wanted to ask.
"Now I only know that this corpse seems to care about something very much, and that thing is in his arms, but it seems to have disappeared. His strongest obsession is that someone will come and bury him and that thing together."
"Let's see his obsession and then do that thing for him. How about it?" Miao You asked, "And I feel that the fact that we can come here may be largely related to him." Chen Huaian nodded slightly after listening to Miao You's words. He felt that what Miao You said made sense. If it was within their ability, it would not be a bad idea for them to fulfill the last wish of this corpse.
"Then let's see."
As soon as Chen Huaian finished speaking, the formation vibrated slightly, and a light curtain unfolded from the formation. Baili Yifeng looked at the light curtain with envy in his eyes.
"I wish I could know so many things like Senior Chen." Baili Yifeng said in his heart. He hated his weak character, but he couldn't change it.
He picked up the knife in his hand, "You've ruined my life." Baili Yifeng said in his heart, then raised his head and looked at the light curtain. At this moment, the corpse's memories before his death unfolded on the light curtain.
A man appeared on the light screen. He was carrying a backpack and walking in the sand. The scorching sun made him sweat profusely.
"Hey, if we can't find a water source, the villagers will die of thirst."
After he said that, he touched the kettle at his waist and shook it gently, but the kettle didn't make any sound.
"I've finished my water. If I can't find any more, I have to go back."
The man on the light screen raised his head and looked at the endless sand in front of him, a look of despair appeared on his face.
“Are the people in our village going to die like this?”
The man clenched his fists, his eyes hardened at this moment, "No, no, the whole village is waiting for me to bring back water, how can I be so depressed!"
After he said that, he set out on the road again. This time he walked from dawn to dusk, and then from dusk to dawn.
He felt like he had been walking for a very long time, his mouth was dry and his body was weak. He hadn't had any water for a day and a night, and under the scorching sun, his body had long since collapsed. Now he was walking in the sand entirely relying on his will.
His eyes gradually blurred, and his vision became blurry. "I, I... water..."
thump……
The man fell down.
He fell quietly in the sand. If nothing unexpected had happened, he would probably have died here.
However, not long after the man fell, a forest suddenly appeared in the sand. When Chen Huaian and the other two saw the forest, their expressions changed. This was the forest they were in now.
However, the forest in the light curtain is much larger than the forest they are in now.
"Is it because of the dead air?" Chen Huaian said in his heart, otherwise he couldn't figure out why the area of this forest would be reduced so much.
Just as Chen Huaian was thinking, a woman walked out of the forest. She was like a fairy from a painting, not of this world. She was wearing a light green dress, like a new bud in early spring. She walked slowly on the sand towards the man.
She glanced at the man, looking at him with curiosity, or perhaps feeling the man's vitality slipping away, she took the man back to the forest.
