Chapter 70: I’ll Help You p2
After entering the main battlefield, it could be said that besides occasionally cultivating, the two of them were in an extremely dangerous state every moment. Even during cultivation, there would be other yin souls coming to find them.
The yin souls in the main battlefield seemed to have a more sensitive sense of smell than those outside. Even if they had used the Heaven-Covering Pagoda to cover up their aura of a living person, there would still be many yin souls that would take the initiative to attack them.
Jiang Bai had thought about it. Could it be because they didn’t have any death qi on them?
After all, in this graveyard, everything was filled with a thick death qi. But they had nothing on them. Instead, they were like a clear stream, which was why they were so eye-catching.
In the end, the two of them didn’t even have time to stop and cultivate. And in this environment, Ji Zhu had also mastered the way to have the spiritual energy in her body circulate at all times. Even if she were to sleep or fight in the future, it would be equivalent to cultivating.
It was just that the spiritual energy she had absorbed from her own cultivation was mixed with too much death qi. After a lot of it, she herself had also changed color, and her whole person was much grayer. Standing with Jiang Bai, they looked like people from two different worlds.
She blinked her blue eyes and looked at Jiang Bai’s speechless and choked expression with great innocence.
It wasn’t what she had wanted. Although she could remove the death qi that had been absorbed into her body, who let her speed of removing it be not as fast as her speed of absorbing it!
Jiang Bai took the initiative to hold Ji Zhu’s hand. While traveling and dealing with other yin souls, she did not forget to take Ji Zhu with her to cultivate, and at the same time, she helped her remove the death qi on her.
Speaking of which, it was infuriating. The death qi had already been absorbed into her body, but those yin souls still did not treat her as their own kind!
Was their sense of smell that good? To be able to identify a fake like this?
In comparison, the main battlefield was definitely not as big as the periphery. So since she had entered, Ji Zhu had been observing the surrounding terrain, wanting to find a terrain that was consistent with the description in the novel.
As long as she found the landmark, then it was only a matter of time before she found the Soul-Summoning Banner.
Jiang Bai was by her side and could naturally see very clearly that she was very purposeful after entering the main battlefield.
Ji Zhu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and the hand holding the long staff pointed in one direction. “There! Let’s go there!”
Jiang Bai followed the direction she was pointing and saw that the mountain looked very much like an elephant, and at this moment, it was looking up and howling, its long trunk facing the sky.
Without any hesitation, she dispersed the other yin souls and took Ji Zhu to rush over.
The mountain seemed to be very close, but after actually walking in that direction, she found that she could not reach it for a long time, and even the strength of the yin souls was getting higher and higher.
There were too many yin souls, and there were several Soul Transformation stage ones mixed in with the Nascent Soul stage ones. It was extremely difficult for Jiang Bai to deal with them, let alone Ji Zhu.
Her small face was tense, and the long staff in her hand was brandished non-stop. At this moment, Ji Zhu was extremely glad that Duanmu Ran and the others had stuffed a lot of things into her back then, whether they were useful or not. Otherwise, she would not have been able to find such a suitable weapon.
While Jiang Bai was entangled with those Soul Transformation stage yin souls, if she saw that Jiang Bai was at a slight disadvantage, Ji Zhu would be very sensible and immediately throw out some props to assist Jiang Bai, so that she could have a moment to catch her breath. As long as she had this moment, with her speed of cultivation and recovery, she could also be in a state like the yin souls, where she would be dispersed and then immediately reassemble and repeatedly entangle.
There were too many yin souls along the way, and each of them was stronger than Ji Zhu. In the end, Ji Zhu also got angry from fighting, and flames churned in her eyes. Her own fire sea domain expanded by more than double, and all the yin souls within a fifty-meter radius of them were included, for the purpose of not killing them.
What Ji Zhu needed to do was to weaken their strength as much as possible, and Jiang Bai, who would not be affected in this domain, was the sharp weapon for harvesting.
On the basis of Ji Zhu’s domain, Jiang Bai’s whole body was filled with a fierce sword intent. Her sword intent domain, paired with Ji Zhu’s, actually produced an unprecedented effect. Even a Soul Transformation stage yin soul, in their domain, had all become their harvesting targets.
In fact, their energy crystals were very likely to be absorbed by Jiang Bai in the next second, and at the same time, they would be shared with Ji Zhu.
In this constant killing and consumption, gradually, the two of them actually produced a strange co-frequency rhythm. At the same time, at this moment, they seemed to have completely entered the main battlefield and integrated into the environment of the main battlefield.
The emotion of killing, killing, killing inevitably arose in their hearts. They only knew to rush forward, and only knew to get rid of the opponents who were blocking them. They seemed to have completely become a member of the chaotic battle in the main battlefield back then.
They had no way out. To retreat meant to expose their backs, which meant death!
In this extreme state, the two of them continuously broke through their potential. The spiritual energy in their bodies was always in a high-speed state of circulation. The long-term use of spiritual energy gave them a higher sense of control over their own spiritual energy.
With every step they took, the strength that the two of them showed would be raised to a higher level. Even Ji Zhu, her moves became more and more concise and neat, and every move was aimed at the death acupoint.
As expected, all moves were most condensed only when they were obtained from actual combat. She was most clear about where she should attack to be able to destroy the other party at the fastest speed!
The strength of the yin souls in the main battlefield was much higher than those in the periphery. Perhaps it was because their sanity was more preserved, and they still retained the moves they had in their previous lives. They were no longer attacking by instinct like those in the periphery, so they were naturally more difficult to deal with.
While Ji Zhu was learning their moves, she also found that the elephant mountain, which they had not been able to get close to no matter how they had moved forward before, was now not far in front of them.
The ground was covered with rotten white bones. As their spiritual energy rolled over, they were all turned into dust that flew in the air, making their vision even more hazy.
The Lunhui Sword in Jiang Bai’s hand was flying. With every swing of hers, several yin souls would die under her sword. But the closer she got to the elephant mountain, the more she could feel that the yin qi was so thick that it was viscous, and it was sticky and cold on the skin, giving people goosebumps.
The closer she got to the elephant mountain, the stronger the yin souls became. Ji Zhu understood that she had not found the wrong place.
In the novel, Xiao Ge had also encountered a similar situation. Because of the Soul-Summoning Banner in the elephant mountain, it was a great help to the yin souls. Invisibly, these yin souls had become the biggest obstacle for outsiders who wanted to obtain the Soul-Summoning Banner.
“Bad woman, protect me a little,” Ji Zhu said.
Although she didn’t understand what Ji Zhu was going to do, Jiang Bai, who had heard her words, still chose to return to her side at the first moment, protecting her so tightly that not a single yin soul could get close to her.
She took out the Heaven-Covering Pagoda, and Ji Zhu closed her eyes. She endured the throbbing pain in her brain and infused her divine sense into the pagoda. The small and exquisite pagoda, which could be placed in the palm of her hand, instantly magnified countless times, and the layout inside the Heaven-Covering Pagoda was also clearly presented in Ji Zhu’s brain.
She stuffed a handful of pills into her mouth, and Ji Zhu’s whole aura instantly surged. Her fire sea domain expanded again, and more yin souls were included.
The Heaven-Covering Pagoda rotated at high speed above their heads, and a vortex-like door suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pagoda. There was an extremely strong suction force in it, and all the yin souls in Ji Zhu’s domain were sucked in. But this was far from enough!
“There, under the deep pool of the elephant mountain, take me there!” Ji Zhu said, enduring the pain of her body as if it were about to be torn apart.
She needed to, while she could still hold on, lock as many yin souls with higher strength as possible into the Heaven-Covering Pagoda, so that Jiang Bai’s pressure could be reduced a lot.
Jiang Bai’s face was cold and her pressure was extremely low. She carried Ji Zhu on her back and rushed towards the elephant mountain she had mentioned. Her spiritual sense was spread out without any scruples, wanting to find the position of the deep pool she had mentioned as soon as possible.
The yin souls that were attracted by them along the way were all taken into the Heaven-Covering Pagoda by Ji Zhu. Ji Zhu could clearly feel that her sea of consciousness seemed to have reached a critical point of being about to dry up and collapse. But before she could see the enchantress temporarily safe, she would never let herself collapse halfway!
Ji Zhu’s eyes were red. She suddenly bit the tip of her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood was instantly absorbed by the Heaven-Covering Pagoda, and the light that the pagoda was emitting also became more and more dazzling and eye-piercing.
“Jie jie~”
“Roar!”
Countless ghost cries and roars came, and in the end, they all disappeared in a certain moment. The sound gradually became smaller and smaller, and fewer and fewer.
Jiang Bai was very clear that Ji Zhu had used some method to forcefully improve her strength. Her chest was full of frustration. While carrying Ji Zhu forward, her moves were fierce. It was not until she had found the deep pool in the elephant mountain that her expression moved slightly.
“I’ve found it. You stop. Don’t continue anymore,” Jiang Bai quickly rushed over, with full trust in Ji Zhu’s words.
No matter what method she had used, but to be able to improve her strength by such a large margin, the longer it continued, the higher the damage to herself would be.
Ji Zhu did not answer her. At this moment, if she dared to open her mouth once, she would definitely lose her breath.
Jiang Bai did not make any more attacks or defenses. She put all her strength into her speed, and with Ji Zhu, she showed an unprecedented speed, and plunged headlong into the deep pool!
It was not until her body had touched the bone-chilling pool water that Ji Zhu’s highly tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and her whole person instantly lost all consciousness and fainted.
With her fainting, the Heaven-Covering Pagoda that had covered the sky and the sun also instantly shrank back to its original exquisite size and entered Ji Zhu’s brow.
Feeling a sudden weight on her back, Jiang Bai’s expression was solemn. A protective shield enveloped the two of them, so that the cold pool water would not choke Ji Zhu. She then put her in front of her to protect her and took her to swim to the bottom of the pool.
Ever since they had entered the deep pool, the yin souls outside had not chased after them. Otherwise, the scene of them like dumplings would be unimaginable.
This deep pool was not wide, and its diameter was probably only about five meters, but it was extremely deep. The further down, the more bone-chilling it felt. But thinking of the way Ji Zhu had asked her to come here, she certainly could not turn back.
She looked down at Ji Zhu, who was completely unconscious in her arms, and Jiang Bai’s thin lips were tightly pursed. She sped up and came to the bottom of the pool. Ignoring the two corpses on the other side, the first thing she had to do was to help Ji Zhu sort out the chaotic spiritual energy in her body.
Fortunately, the two of them had “dual cultivated” more than once before, and spiritual energy had entered the other party’s body. Therefore, this time, even though Ji Zhu was unconscious, her spiritual energy could still enter unhindered, and following the path of their previous “dual cultivation,” she guided the spiritual energy in her body back to the right track.
But when she wanted to get close to Ji Zhu’s spiritual platform and soul sea, she could feel a resistance that did not let her get close. Although it would not attack her, it was clear that she could not enter her spiritual platform either.
Jiang Bai opened her eyes and looked at her deeply twice. Fortunately, Yin Qing had left behind many high-grade pills before. She fed them to Ji Zhu. Looking at her still pale and bloodless appearance, Jiang Bai raised her hand and gently touched her face for a moment, her eyes slightly lowered.
Recalling the way this person had protected her earlier, Jiang Bai blinked lightly, and the hand holding hers tightened a little.
Faced with Ji Zhu’s current situation, there was not much she could do. Besides staying by her side, it seemed that there was no other way.
“You can’t have an accident, you know?”
Jiang Bai bent down and said in Ji Zhu’s ear, her voice very light.
This person was clearly weaker than her, yet she still wanted to protect her.
So silly.
Jiang Bai looked up at the two corpses on the other side. They were both in a posture of kneeling opposite each other and stabbing each other.
Because the bottom of the pool was wet and cold enough, the two corpses did not look decomposed, and were even in a state as if they were alive.
Looking at the banner behind one of them, the black flag was embroidered with several figures of evil ghosts with dark red silk threads, and an ominous aura came from it.
This was actually the Soul-Summoning Banner that had been lost in the continent for a long time…
Jiang Bai retracted her gaze and looked at Ji Zhu. Even her originally ruddy thin lips had no color, and now she looked a little more chilling.
Her index fingertip tapped on it lightly, and Jiang Bai’s eyes became deeper and deeper.
This mouth, how many things that should have been said have not been said?
