Chapter 71: Explore the Barren Hill Again

Chapter 71: Explore the Barren Hill Again

When the two of them were far away on the hillside, the shaman could accurately know Ye Ling’s location and sent the peach over. Qin Yi knew that there was no point in trying to investigate the situation secretly. No matter how well he hid, the shaman might have some way to see everything.

Then there must be other ways to investigate it.

Ye Ling watched curiously as Qin Yi tore a piece of cloth and wrapped it into a cloth mouse. Qin Yi tapped the cloth mouse’s head with a finger, and the cloth mouse started running around.

Ye Ling jumped and joyfully chased the cloth mouse on bare feet, “Mine, mine!”

Qin Yi couldn’t help but complain. Where is your beastkin power and your speed? Why are you chasing the mouse with your little hands stretched out…

Seeing that the mouse was about to be caught, he hooked his fingers, and the mouse suddenly sped back. Ye Ling immediately fell to the ground, “Sob… Mine…”

“You’re now a mature beastkin. In the future, you will learn the beastkin spell and create as many as you like.” Qin Yi picked up the mouse, poked it with the spike on the mace, and then let it run away toward the hill.

Ye Ling watched it leave with tears in her eyes, “It will die if it goes there…”

“That’s just a piece of cloth…” Qin Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

The mouse could move because it was controlled by spiritual force. Although his ability to control objects was not up to the level of sword control, he could still control a cloth mouse.

He poked it with the mace to let Liu Su inject a trace of soul power.

Liu Su currently couldn’t split its soul, but it was just connecting with soul power. It was not a big deal to use it as eyes. Once the cloth mouse “died”, its soul power would be cut off immediately, and there would be no impact.

This kind of cooperation was the limit of what they could do now for remote investigation.

Liu Su looked at the mouse’s position and kept telling Qin Yi to adjust its direction left and right to avoid the beastkin. After controlling it painstakingly for an hour, they finally sent the cloth mouth to the hillside.

The cloth mouse cautiously climbed up the hill, but it was stunned by the feedback of Liu Su’s soul power.

The hill was in a mess. There were countless beastkin corpses everywhere.

The Blood Scaled Dragon was lying on the hillside covered in blood, struggling to deal with the last few beastkins. However, those beastkins were also exhausted. This was just a fight between ordinary beasts, using sharp teeth to attack.

It’s been two days, and they are still fighting…

But the effect of the peach is almost wearing out, and the eyes of these beastkins were no longer red.

But what’s going on, that shaman didn’t come to clean up the situation and just let it be?

Liu Su simply asked Qin Yi to take the cloth mouse toward the top of the hill.

Qin Yi didn’t even know what Liu Su saw. In fact, he didn’t even know where the mouse was, so he just did as Liu Su told him.

The mouse continued to go up the hill. There was no beastkin along the way. However, there were another 2 steles. Liu Su’s soul power was no longer strong enough to read such small characters, so they skipped them and continued to go up.

Liu Su quickly recognized many traces of arrays, but they all seemed to be destroyed. Even the cloth mouse could not trigger any reaction.

There was a stone house on the top of the hill, which occupied a large area. The cloth mouse walked around in a circle. This place should obviously be full of traps and arrays, but there was nothing happened like this was a mortal residence.

As it approached the door of the stone house, Liu Su’s soul power had exhausted. It could no longer see anything.

“From all indications, this person has been visited by his enemy. I don’t know if they are still fighting inside, but in short, he didn’t even care about the blood he extracted from beastkins.” Liu Su obviously exhausted a lot of soul power, but it was very excited, “Let’s go. At least the stele can be understood!”

Qin Yi was overjoyed. If it goes so smoothly, maybe this trip can be ended here. This is the most important goal, much more important than reaping the peach!

Ye Ling ran faster than him, “Cloth mouse…”

Qin Yi couldn’t bear to tell her that the cloth mouse had already turned back into a piece of cloth.

When they reached the hill, the smell of blood was pungent. The visual impact of the corpses was so powerful that Ye Ling even forgot about the mouse.

“It’s too… cruel…” Ye Ling murmured to herself, “This man must be stopped. This is too cruel…”

Qin Yi’s stomach was also churning. He could never imagine such a scene of endless corpses if he didn’t see it himself. Especially the large number of dead bodies with broken heads, broken brains, pierced intestines and stomachs, red and white blood flowing all over, and internal organs everywhere. It was so disgusting that they couldn’t look straight at it. The smell alone could make people vomit.

He held his breath and slowly approached the Blood Scaled Dragon that was still fighting fiercely.

No matter how much compassion he had in his heart, this Blood Scaled Dragon must be dead!

The Blood Scaled Dragon killed the last beastkin and stared at Qin Yi exhausted, “It’s you monkey again…”

“Monkey?” Qin Yi grinned, “That’s just right. I’m here to steal the peach.”

The mace pierced Blood Scaled Dragon hard in the abdomen.

Ye Ling got into the abdomen through the hole. She knew that the Blood Scaled Dragon’s blood would also be of great use to her.

The Blood Scaled Dragon rolled around the hillside like crazy, crushing countless corpses. Finally, it twitched a few times and died. Ye Ling threw out a peach from its body, “Brother, this seems useless now.”

Qin Yi took it and Liu Su said, “Keep it. It will still be useful after refining. It can at least be used as an auxiliary material for weapon refining.”

Qin Yi kept it, took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, poured the medicine out, and handed them to Ye Ling, “Go to the blood pool and find the drop of blood essence. I’ll go up the hill to see the stele first.”

The third stele was two-thirds of the way up the hill. There were some bones around. Qin Yi touched them lightly, turning them into ashes.

Stele’s Title, “The Curse of Shared Death”.

It was the voodoo art that Dong Huazi used. It used one’s life force to curse a person to death, causing his life to flow away. If they were of the same cultivation level, it might be able to let the opponent die of old age on the spot, but Dong Huazi’s actual cultivation level was not as good as Li Qinglin’s, so it would only cause him to age.

But this aging had become a very interesting torture.

Qin Yi’s heart sank.

Because there was no difference between the stele and the one copied by Dong Huazi. There was no solution or other chapters.

This curse could really be unsolvable because it was letting life force flow away. There was nothing to solve unless he could increase Li Qinglin’s lifespan.

If there was really such a way, that was the method of immortality.

“The person who figured out this spell involves the art of the origin of life. This is a powerful spell that cannot be achieved by this shaman.” Liu Su gave its judgment, “This set of spells should be the minor spells developed by an enemy of mine who was studying the origin of life. As he died in the valley, it was acquired by this shaman by chance.”

“Minor spells?”

“Yes, minor spells. When it comes to my or their level, this kind of spell is like the wind blowing in the face, completely useless. At most, it can only be used as a record of experience so that it can be delved deeper one day.”

“…” Qin Yi was unwilling to give up, “Didn’t you say there are 2 steles? Maybe that is the solution.”

Liu Su said nothing.

Qin Yi ran up to find another stele.

Without any obstruction, it was too easy to find a stele. Qin Yi rushed over. After just one glance, his expression became very ugly.

It had nothing to do with the spell.

It was “365 Days Soul Seizing Arrow”.

This spell sounded powerful, but it was hard to cast it. It needed the opponent’s hair, personal belongings, and the birth date must be detailed down to the exact time. Then, the peach wood must be carefully carved to resemble the opponent as much as possible. All the belongings the opponent commonly used must be put on it. After completing these prerequisites, it would take a full year to perform the spell to completely lock the connection between 2 souls. In the end, it will take several days and nights to nail the 365 major acupoints…

Dong Huazi and Li Qinglin were rivals for so long, but it was just nearly complete recently.

It is true that it can kill people who are at higher level with this spell, but the levels can’t be too far apart. If it is a cultivator with higher divine thought, there is a high possibility of backlash. Except for the imperial court, where could one slowly cast it on his opponent? With Liu Su, I can learn more high level spells. This spell is basically useless.

Never mind it’s a useless spell. Without a solution to the curse, any gains are meaningless!
