Corpse Recovery Diver

In the palm of his hand, the blood mist drifted, causing the atmosphere to change. His guidance and control over the Feng Shui layout improved significantly.

It wasn't at the level of understanding, but purely in terms of the skill.

Spreading his right hand open again, the blood mist in his palm condensed into a very rudimentary ceramic array flag, which he could activate at will.

It's worth noting that the real array flag was still in his pocket and had not been taken out, yet it produced the same effect.

Although its duration was short, his control over the array was already meant as an instant command.

"Heh..."

It was indeed a good thing.

It could enhance Xu Yijin, and similarly, it could enhance him too. If we set aside the martial aspect, the enhancement for himself was significantly greater.

Looking at it this way, it might be acceptable to allow it to stay in his palm for a while longer.

However, in the future, he needed to pay attention to eating more foods that replenish energy and nourish the blood.

Li Zhiyuan returned to his room to bandage the wound on his right hand.

After calming the two children, Tan Wenbin walked back to the stone table and sat down.

With a snap, Yin Meng flicked the Gu worm away, then held up a finger, and the Gu worm quickly flew back, landing steadily on the fingertip.

"Why can't this worm grow bigger?"

Tan Wenbin laughed and said, "Why? How big do you expect it to grow?"

Yin Meng said somewhat helplessly, "It's too small, and its poison isn't potent enough."

It could kill an ordinary person with one bite, but for those who aren't ordinary, it poses little threat.

Run Sheng said, "It needs to eat."

Yin Meng said, "I've been feeding it with rations left by the Corpse Gu Sect."

Run Sheng said, "It needs to eat its kin, fresh ones."

While saying these words, Run Sheng took another bite of the fragrant food, then gulped down the noodles in large mouthfuls.

Yin Meng said, "Where can I find those? There are many types within the Gu worms. However, I could research how to produce seeds."

Upon hearing this, Run Sheng suddenly found the noodles in his bowl less appetizing.

Tan Wenbin's hand also trembled, messing up the compass data.

"I say, Meng Meng." Tan Wenbin turned around and seriously reminded, "If you want to research this, when we return to the village, I'll find you a secluded spot. Don't go researching blindly at home alone."

Finding a fly in your food can be seen as extra protein, but finding a Gu worm means there's no next meal.

Yin Meng smiled and said, "Of course, I'm not stupid. By the way, when is Brother Pang Jin coming back?"

Tan Wenbin shrugged, "The phone line was cut off that night. We're not able to go out now, but I think when he's supposed to come back, he will."

Night fell.

The inn was incredibly quiet because it was just Li Zhiyuan's group there.

Although they had the array for protection, someone still had to keep watch every night. Now, it was Lin Shuyou's turn.

In fact, some people do bring books when they go out.

Lin Shuyou brought some.

But he didn't bring cultivation technique books; he brought textbooks.

Even though Xue Liangliang could continually provide proof, so they didn't have to worry about exams, they would eventually have to be at construction sites or meetings.

They couldn't just respond with, "Don't worry, I'll perform a divination for you," when asked to analyze a blueprint or calculate data.

Brother Xiao Yuan had learned all this early on, and Brother Bin used to sleep during the day and secretly read books at night at school.

This put a lot of pressure on Lin Shuyou.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Lin Shuyou sensed something was wrong, his eyelid started twitching, and soon after, his vertical pupil opened.

He walked to the terrace and looked towards the field where he had fought Xu Yijin that night, sensing special movements there.

Could it be a corpse transformation?

No, it shouldn't be. Brother Bin dissolved those five corpses into water, so how could there be a corpse transformation?

With focused vertical pupils, Lin Shuyou saw several spectral figures above the original burial site.

"What is this?"

Just as Lin Shuyou was curious, he sensed movement behind him. When he turned around, he saw Brother Xiao Yuan coming up.

But at that moment, Brother Xiao Yuan's body was half-transparent, clearly in a walking yin state, likely also sensing the energy, specially coming up to check.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, what's that..."

"I don't know." Li Zhiyuan was also looking over there.

These spectral figures were unlike ghosts, yet they were definitely not living people.

Normally, he wouldn't mind rushing over to investigate, but now, he wouldn't leave until his companions recovered from their injuries.

"What are you all looking at?"

Tan Wenbin came up too, also in a walking yin state, holding the hands of two children.

Basic walking yin allows you to see scenes invisible in reality; a more advanced level allows out-of-body experience. However, usually, the duration and distance of the out-of-body experience cannot be too long or too far.

Many supernatural novels describe "soul leaving the body," which is another portrayal of walking yin.

Tan Wenbin himself was still lying in bed on the ground floor; it was only with the two children's help that he could gather on the terrace.

Of course, he trusted them enough since his current situation was what elders called being "dragged away by little ghosts."

The two children trembled when they saw Li Zhiyuan, causing Tan Wenbin to tremble as well.

On the bed on the ground floor, Tan Wenbin's body started convulsing, foaming at the mouth.

"Stop trembling, stop trembling, I'm about to fall apart..."

Tan Wenbin could only verbally console them.

"Hey ho, hey ho, hey ho!"

At the stairway entrance came the sound of heavy footsteps, it was Yin Meng coming up.

In the whole team, only Run Sheng couldn't walk yin. He was still sound asleep in bed, snoring.

However, that night when Xu Yijin killed those four people on the second floor, Run Sheng was awakened.
