Chapter 414
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shi Mu was in a black crater . A golden serpent the size of a house was lying in the pit .
Judging from the previous signs, the golden serpent that he swallowed through the power of the totem should be a new soul that was derived from the original serpent . Otherwise, he might not be able to defeat it so easily .
After observing for a while, Shi Mu walked to the side of the serpent and grabbed the horn in the middle of its head with both hands . He let out a sigh and slammed it hard with his arms .
Rumble!
A burst of muffled sounds could be heard as he dragged and slammed the golden serpent out of the pit with such force that he caused a stone to collapse in the pit .
After a while, Shi Mu looked at the house-sized serpent and took a step forward, walking around while examining it .
As the serpent was hit by his left hand, the surface of its scales was mostly broken and the skull was now covered with cracks . However, the golden skull was still a treasure and many precious spiritual materials could be extracted from it .
After Shi Mu circled for three laps around the serpent, he stood resolutely and had a rough plan in his heart .
He used his Heavenly Meteoric Black Iron Knife and began to unravel the serpent’s fine limbs . Its scales, keel, and blood were not wasted and had been taken into his storage ring .
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed .
Shi Mu sat next to the Darkwater Lake, regaining his gaze from the pale red waters .
The lake remained still ever since Yan Luo entered, while Wu Ye had been guarding it without even a slight movement .
Shi Mu shook his head while standing up, turned around and walked out .
However, there was a sizzling sound behind him .
Shi Mu was curious so he turned around to look where the sound was coming from . He could see the surface of bloody red water began to ripple and swirl in a circle .
“Hua la la…” The sound gradually became louder as did the ripples on the water, turning into waves that rolled continuously .
In the middle of the lake, a swirling vortex gradually began to form . In the center of the vortex, a white figure rose from it .
The scene was the blooming of a bloody flower, revealing a cluster of innocent white flowers .
“Yan Luo, are you alright?” Shi Mu asked through telepathy as he watched with excitement .
Yan Luo turned around to look at Shi Mu and shook her head, indicating that she was fine .
Shi Mu’s sight condensed as he saw Yan Luo had now been covered by silver armor . The cracks on the surface of the armor had completely vanished . Even the breath and qi radiating from the body had already recovered .
Yan Luo stepped on the shore of the bloody lake and glanced around . Wu Ye, who was nearby, also stood up .
Yan Luo’s gaze fluttered and once again locked on Shi Mu . She looked at him from head to toe and turned around, walking in another direction .
Wu Ye saw this and followed her .
“Yan Luo, are you leaving?” Shi Mu asked .
“It’s safer for you to stay here,” Yan Luo said with a clear telepathic voice as she continued to walk on .
Shi Mu chased her and asked . “What are you going to do?”
It seemed that Yan Luo did not hear a single word Shi Mu said . She did not answer nor acknowledge his question .
Shi Mu had already become accustomed to Yan Luo’s stone-cold demeanor and was not angry . After a little thought, he decided to follow her .
Yan Luo did not say anything to stop Shi Mu from following her . She simply kept moving forward .
So it was that Yan Luo, Wu Ye, and Shi Mu all left the lake together .
The Dead Spirit corps that had been stationed on the outskirts of Darkwater Lake opened up a pathway for all three of them to pass as soon as they approached .
Yan Luo would constantly stop for a moment to adjust her direction before moving forward again . Her pace had gotten faster and faster each time .
Shi Mu did not speak and followed behind silently .
His intuition told him that Yan Luo might have something important to attend to . As long as Yan Luo did not oppose, he intended to follow her to find out for himself . He planned on taking this opportunity to learn more about his own Subjugated Spirit favor .
The altar needed its offerings, and with the strength he possessed now, it would be impossible to build .
He might not have survived his battle with Liu An if Yan Luo had not arrived . If he left, it was unknown when they would see each other again .
Either way, there would be a ray of protection at the altar . It would be impossible for the dead spirit to cause him any harm .
They had been walking for almost half an hour when Yan Luo suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around towards them . Wu Ye who had been walking behind her also stopped .
Shi Mu saw this and stopped too .
Yan Luo looked at Shi Mu and explained through telepathy .
“When you were looking for me, I was chasing a bone bird . I’m going to look for it now . ”
“Good! I will go with you then,” Shi Mu said without hesitation .
Yan Luo looked at Shi Mu with flickering eyes . She did not say anything nor did she refuse his help .
She turned around as her wings began to flap, rising high before flying away .
Following behind was Wu Ye . He too had jumped up on a cloud of fog, flying towards Yan Luo’s direction .
Shi Mu saw this and smiled . As the flames flashed behind him, two shivering wings stretched out from his back . His whole body turned into a ray of red light and flew in Yan Luo’s direction .
…
The terrain of the Dead Spirit World had changed a lot . Not long before Shi Mu arrived with Yan Luo, he had discovered that the mountains were everywhere . Sometimes the valleys were vertical and horizontal, and sometimes a river from the bloody lake streamed through small areas .
Around these lakes, there were always a few dead spirit creatures .
Yan Luo made the whole journey by wing . She occasionally stopped to adjust her direction before she continued flying .
After a day and night of flight, the three of them arrived at a hilly area .
As soon as Yan Luo landed, she raised her head and looked at somewhere in front of her, like she sensed something around .
Shi Mu saw this and looked in the same direction .
Before him was a bloody lake and half-submerged within it was a gray bone bird around 20 feet .
The bloody mist from the lake seemed to be seeping into the bone bird’s body .
“Is that the bird you’re looking for?” Shi Mu asked as his eyes turned gold .
“Yes,” Yan Luo said without a doubt .
“Hold on,” Shi Mu’s voice sank slightly .
Yan Luo was puzzled . She immediately turned around to look at Shi Mu . She was clueless as to what he was trying to say or do .
“You said that you have been chasing this bird . It is not easy to catch it . If we rushed at it, I’m afraid that it will immediately turn and flee . Instead, we should balance the dynamic with static,” Shi Mu suggested…
“How?”
“Follow me,” Shi Mu said as he walked in another direction .
Yan Luo turned to look in the direction of the bone bird hesitantly before following Shi Mu .
After a quarter of an hour, the two circumvented the lake where the bone bird was located and came to another bloody lake that was hundreds of feet away .
There was a group of undead spirit creatures here that were not so strong . After seeing Yan Luo, these creatures had long since disappeared and went back to whatever they were doing .
Shi Mu walked to the lake and calmed his breath as took out the Heavenly Meteoric Black Iron Knife, gripping it tightly in his hand . With one hand down, the tip of the black knife was now on the ground . He rotated his wrist, making an arc on the ground .
At the end of the arc, Shi Mu turned his wrists again and the arc immediately turned back in another direction .
As Shi Mu’s wrists turned, a pattern appeared on the ground . It was not a complex image, and it showed itself within a short time .
Shi Mu held up the black knife, rolled his hand and took out several pieces of spirit stones . He inserted them into the circle and proceeded to take out three different charms .
He held onto one of the yellow charms in his hands and placed them in the center of the squad . A yellow ray of light began to glow and the charm disappeared .
Shi Mu once again picked up the remaining two blue charms and they fell on the sides of the pattern . The two sides of the charm lit up two blue rays of light and then disappeared as well .
Shi Mu looked at the array and began to chant . The runes on the charms started to rush into the array .
A ray of light inlaid in the squadron flashed and the entire array completely disappeared .
This was a kind of phantom character array, a type of yin-attribute magic art that Shi Mu learned from the charm book on the Heaven-Trigram . It was an auxiliary type of cold charm, which could cover up magical fluctuations .
The array itself was an extension of the charm and adding it was not complicated . Shi Mu had made some minor changes directly and arranged it here .
Subsequently, Shi Mu went to the remaining three locations of the blood mist lake and set the same array with the charms .
When the last array was completed and the charms had been placed, Shi Mu stood up and exhaled .
He pointed out that the dark surface of the pendant on top of the suspended ceiling had brightened and a black light swept out . The translucent dwarf skeleton that he had previously conquered emerged .
“Bi Ling, you’re going to hide here . l,” Shi Mu commanded . Bi Ling was the name Shi Mu had given to the crystal skeleton that excelled in assassination . The name meant ghost holding a dagger .
The spirit heard his command and said nothing . It immediately crouched down as its eyes flashed, its translucent bones gradually becoming more transparent . In a second, it vanished without a trace .
With just one or two breaths, the spirit had disappeared in front of Shi Mu’s eyes .
If it wasn’t for Shi Mu who discovered the power and strength the crystal skeleton possessed, it would have been hard to capture the bone bird . Such a task would undoubtedly suit an actual assassin better .
Shi Mu saw this and nodded with satisfaction .
From the beginning until the end, Yan Luo stood not far away watching Shi Mu’s every action . The fire in her eyes trembled from time to time as if she was in deep thought .
Shi Mu looked at the fading bloody mist lake and walked in front of Yan Luo .
“Based on my observation, if there are no unexpected accidents, the lake will lose its rol
