Chapter 292

Chapter 291 Living Towards Death

Just as Xu Changqing was about to confirm what the scene had just shown was, a sudden chill surged up from below.

After being amplified by the cold cabbage, the increase was several times more intense.

The temperature of the entire rocky mountain dropped by a third in an instant.

The ground was instantly covered with a layer of frost, and a chilling aura permeated the air.

Almost subconsciously, Xu Changqing activated the “Thick Earth” domain. The surrounding soil, rocks, and gravel all bounced up and formed a thick barrier around him, tightly protecting him inside.

This posture is somewhat like a startled tortoise retreating into its shell.

And you know what? It really did keep that chill out.

However, it was still not satisfied and kept circling around, trying to find a loophole.

After struggling for quite a while, seeing that there was really no way to win, they finally withdrew.

Upon seeing this, a look of shock appeared in Xu Changqing’s eyes.

Although he had long suspected there was something down there, he never expected it to be “dirty stuff”.

The image that had just flashed through my mind came back to me—it was a corpse!

It’s impossible to tell its exact gender, but it’s completely black.

At first glance, it looks as if it has been struck by lightning.

Therefore, it can be seen that the reason why the cold cabbage mutated was mainly because an unknown corpse was buried ten meters directly below it, which is why it became a cradle ice embryo.

For some inexplicable reason, it seemed as if this corpse was undergoing reincarnation through the use of an ice embryo.

Considering the other party’s strong malice, and the fact that they had just attacked him.

Without hesitation, Xu Changqing activated his max-level Earth Bearing Technique, gathering the surrounding earth energy and pouring it into the cold cabbage in front of him.

Logically speaking, this is a mutated spiritual plant and should be controlled using wood spiritual power.

I’ve tried before, but it’s impossible to do.

As for the other two types of spiritual power, fire spiritual power will cause damage because of the elemental counteraction.

Only earth elemental power is fine.

Soon, as if receiving a command, the surrounding black soil automatically separated.

Before long, the entire root and stem part of the Chinese cabbage was exposed.

Xu Changqing held out his hands as if to pull it up by the roots.

Unexpectedly, the short stem and fibrous roots that were originally no more than 20 centimeters long have now grown to more than a meter in length, and that’s not even all of them.

It quickly grew from one meter to two meters.

Then it’s three meters.

Finally, the rootlets reached nearly five meters in length, at which point changes occurred.

A thing that looks like a black earthworm, but upon closer inspection is actually a fleshy sprout, has somehow merged with the remaining parts of the Chinese cabbage.

When Xu Changqing observed it, it was even wriggling, as if it were alive.

Just looking at him made me feel nauseous, so I quickly unleashed a tongue of crimson fire.

The sizzling sound continued, sounding like meat being grilled.

The black fleshy buds struggled wildly in the flames, finally snapping off completely from the roots of the cabbage with a “snap”.

Without any obstacles, Xu Changqing quickly sent the entire cold cabbage, or rather, the cradle ice embryo, into his personal space.

The chilling cold and biting cold that had been there vanished in the blink of an eye. If it weren’t for the lingering coldness in the air, one would have thought that everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Although he accepted the cabbage, Xu Changqing’s face showed no smile.

In the crater before them, the severed black tentacles were still wriggling, desperately groping around.

This shows that if left unchecked, bad things will definitely happen.

Therefore, after thinking it over, Xu Changqing simply activated the fire and earth spiritual power in his dantian at the same time, and his whole body instantly emitted a scorching aura.

At the same time, the black soil in front, under the control of earth elemental power, surged like waves and continuously parted to both sides.

Soon a pit appeared, gradually increasing in depth from one meter to three meters, then to five meters, and finally to nearly ten meters.

Clearly, Xu Changqing intended to confront the corpse directly and see what had happened.

This thing is right near my home. If something goes wrong, both the spirit fields and the spirit plants could be damaged, so it shouldn’t be taken lightly.

The further down you go, the more black tentacles there are.

Like roots, they expand, extend, and explore in the black soil.

Xu Changqing discovered that the soil became darker and more moist the deeper one went.

It’s as if the closer you are to a corpse, the more nutrients you get?

To be honest, this kind of thinking is quite scary.

Soon, when the depth reached ten meters, a completely black corpse, resembling a mummified body, appeared before them.

Its posture was a bit strange, curled up in a ball, like a fetus.

There was a black fleshy ball on its abdomen, from which grew black tentacles, slightly thicker than a hair, extending outwards like the roots of a plant.

It buries itself deep in the black soil, its destination unknown.

Suddenly, the familiar chill returned.

The source is this very corpse in front of us.

Its body surface shone with a metallic, cold light, followed by a fine layer of frost.

Like an ice source, it continuously releases an astonishing chill.

This time, even though the distance was closer, the power was still not as great as before.

It seems that without the boost from the Cold Cabbage, it has become weaker?

Xu Changqing could easily resist simply by circulating his fire elemental power.

Seeing this, he did not rush to make a move, but deliberately resisted.

I want to see how long this corpse can hold on.

One minute, two minutes, and when three minutes had passed, the chill began to subside.

After four minutes, it turned into a dried-up corpse again.

The chill vanished without a trace.

rustling sounds!

Just then, the sound of objects rubbing against each other came from all around.

My dear reader, there’s more to reading—even more exciting content awaits!

It sounds dense and numerous, as if it’s everywhere.

Faced with this situation, Xu Changqing instantly became alert and immediately activated the earth elemental power in his dantian, reactivating the Thick Earth Domain to envelop his entire body.

A few breaths later, countless tentacles emerged from the black soil.

They poked him frantically, making a “thump-thump” sound like raindrops hitting a pipa.

Fortunately, they were all eventually blocked by the barriers.

It is clear that it has no effect, or rather, it cannot cause any harm.

These black tentacles began to wrap around again, attempting to envelop the person.

Xu Changqing shook his head: “This trick won’t work on me.”

He didn’t even use his fire elemental power; he simply expanded the barrier’s range by one meter.

The dense black tentacles immediately made a “slap slap slap” sound.

One by one, they broke off.

Forget about restraints, it can’t even hold you back.

Xu Changqing hadn’t gotten serious yet, but suddenly the black tentacles and the corpses that looked like several zombies next to him froze.

Then, at a speed visible to the n*ked eye, they all turned into fine powder.

In the end, only a lump resembling charcoal remained in the same spot.

Xu Changqing was stunned: “I haven’t even used any force yet, and you’re already exhausted?”

He didn’t touch the charred-looking substance.

Instead, he swept his spiritual sense across the area and immediately raised an eyebrow.

Strange, this thing actually exudes an incredibly rich life force.

It appears to have gathered all the essence of the mummified corpse from before.

The overall feeling Xu Changqing got was somewhat similar to that of the tree that faced death and lived again that he saw when he visited Youquan Herb Garden!
