Chapter 5: Absorbing Remnant Souls, Enhancing Yin Yuan Daoist Cultivation
Although I did not form a contract with a high-level ghost.
However, with the infusion feedback system at his disposal, Fang Han's advantage remains very obvious in this land of despair.
Just be careful and avoid those hordes of vengeful monsters.
Being a lone wolf is perfectly fine.
Step out of that pale, white membrane.
What came into view was an eerie forest shrouded in gray mist.
The towering, withered tree twisted its branches, like the skeletal claws of a dying man reaching for the sky.
Although the tree canopy is lush and leafy, it exudes a sense of lifelessness and decay.
Even light is hard to capture.
It may be due to the blockage of yin energy and lack of sunlight over the years.
The forest was frighteningly damp.
The ground was covered with rotting, dead leaves.
A faint smell of decay lingered in the air.
In some low-lying areas, a strange gray fog had accumulated.
It was as if ghosts were flickering inside.
of course.
For Fang Han, this misty forest was a natural hunting ground.
There is a sinister technique called "soul-capturing whispers".
You can take advantage of the terrain to approach your prey silently and catch it off guard!
At the same time... what if we encounter a crisis that we can't overcome?
She could also be like those elusive female ghosts in folk tales.
Use the Soul-Stealing Whisper to momentarily dazed the enemy, then seize the opportunity to disappear into the fog!
now.
He stopped at the edge of the light membrane and carefully observed his surroundings.
He gripped the cold, Soul-Suppressing Demon Blade tightly in his hand.
But suddenly—
The cold, icy voice of the Netherworld's will echoed in my mind!
[Announcement from the Underworld: Liu Qingqing, the contract envoy of Zhenhun Village, was killed by a first-tier Nethertooth Rat, her soul scattered...]
[Announcement from the Underworld: Zhao Tu, the contract envoy of Zhenhun Village, was killed by a first-tier Nethertooth Rat, his soul scattered...]
[Announcement from the Underworld: Zhou Wu, the contract envoy of Zhenhun Village, was killed by a first-tier Nethertooth Rat, his soul scattered...]
???
"A contract envoy has been killed so quickly?"
"And three of them died? Could the entire team have been wiped out?"
Upon hearing the deathly tone of the notification, Fang Han instantly became alert!
at the same time.
In order to obtain useful information, he reopened the Ghostly Path.
"Holy crap... they were all wiped out? I know Zhao Tu, he contracted a vengeful hound! Although he's not as powerful as those who summon ferocious and malevolent creatures, his combat strength shouldn't be this weak!"
"Three people were killed in quick succession. Based on my experience in the Underworld, these three didn't seem to have accidentally stumbled into the Nethertooth Rat's lair; it's more like they were hunted down one by one!"
"Damn it! This is supposed to be the Soul Suppression Trial? A mere Tier 1 Nethertooth Rat can get a triple kill? I'm done! Can't you just let me leave this hellhole?!"
"That's why we should form teams! And we need to have more people! After all, we're not those big shots who have summoned second or third-realm demons; we don't have much ability to protect ourselves!"
"Damn... the team needs to expand! Recruit ten more people! Head back to the Soul Town Village square and wait!"
Ghostly whispers in the underworld.
Because news of a contract leading to death has emerged.
Those small teams that originally consisted of only two or three people had no choice but to expand.
They hadn't gone far from the protected area of Zhenhun Village when they turned back.
As for Fang Han...
Looking at the messages in the group, I secretly started to make plans.
"Even those who contracted with the vengeful spirits of the underworld dogs were killed?"
"It seems that a first-tier Yin Realm evil creature should be able to easily defeat those wandering Yin creatures such as livestock and pets."
"After all, those animals weren't very strong when they were alive... Once they died, they became vengeful spirits, which are basically meat on the chopping block."
"But if you encounter one that has a contract with a wild animal's vengeful spirit, it's probably much safer."
"My Yin Yuan cultivation has now reached the seventh day, making me significantly stronger than ordinary newcomers."
"If the Soul-Stealing Whisper is used well, it should be able to put up a fight against a lone Tier 1 evil creature."
Fang Han secretly did some calculations.
Then, he gripped the Soul-Suppressing Ghost Blade, which gleamed with a chilling aura, tightly in his hand.
They cautiously made their way deeper into the Dark Mist Forest.
"Shh...shh..."
We hadn't gone far.
A faint, rustling sound, like something crawling through rotting leaves, came from not far away.
Fang Han immediately perked up.
Following the direction from which the sound came, he lowered his body and moved closer.
The closer you get to where the sound comes from, the more chaotic the surrounding weeds become.
Moreover, there were still dark red bloodstains on the ground that had not yet congealed.
It seems... a fierce battle has just taken place here.
at last.
As Fang Han got closer and closer to the source of the sound...
A mutilated corpse instantly captured his entire attention!
"This...could this be the newcomer who was just killed by the evil creature?"
Fang Han felt a chill run down his spine, and his hair stood on end!
He immediately looked around to make sure there were no hidden dangers before cautiously approaching.
When he got really close and saw the horrific state of the corpse—
His face instantly revealed an undisguised shock!
because……
The body was completely unrecognizable!
Half of its head had been bitten off, exposing the pale skull with teeth marks still visible.
His limbs were also missing, as if they had been torn off alive by something.
The scariest part is the stomach area—
A huge, bloody gash was torn open!
The internal organs inside were completely eaten clean!
Only the empty abdominal cavity remained, emanating a strong stench of blood and decay.
but.
Fang Han could still recognize from the mangled outline that the person was a woman before she died.
"The sound isn't far from here. If it really was that Nethertooth Rat, then it must be gnawing on other corpses up ahead..."
"How about... we wait until it's full, then set a trap to hunt it down?"
soon.
A bold and insidious plan popped into Fang Han's mind.
He was going to hunt down this Nethertooth Rat alone!
Next.
Fang Han finally summoned the female ghost, Nie Xiaoqian, whom he had stored in the Soul Shrine.
They were just about to send Nie Xiaoqian ahead to scout out the situation.
But as soon as Nie Xiaoqian appeared, she sent him a strong feeling of craving for food!
And with a swift movement, he landed next to the corpse that had been torn to shreds by the Nethertooth Rat!
"???"
"Eat this kind of thing?"
Fang Han's face showed an extremely disgusted expression.
But upon further reflection, I felt relieved.
(After all, it is a contracted Yin entity from the Yellow Springs sequence, and its nature is to devour life force and absorb resentment to strengthen itself...)
(Absorbing some remnants of the soul's yin energy is understandable...)
that's it.
Fang Han nodded to Nie Xiaoqian, mentally agreeing to her request to eat.
After Nie Xiaoqian received permission, a cool and aloof emotional fluctuation emanated from her.
She bent down, her long hair falling down.
He gently inhaled at the mutilated corpse.
A wisp of grayish-white mist, visible to the naked eye, drifted out from the corpse and was slowly inhaled into her mouth and nose!
"Ding! Your contracted Yin entity has absorbed remnants of flesh and blood, increasing your Yin Yuan cultivation by 0.1% per day..."
[Note: Contracted Yin entities can gain a certain degree of Yin cultivation by absorbing resentment, remnants of souls, and Yin energy, but this cannot exceed the cultivation limit of the absorbed entity in its previous life...]
The moment the notification sound rang in my mind.
Nie Xiaoqian also stopped absorbing at the same time.
