Chapter Fifteen: Terror Descends
1357 Words
Back inside the house,
before Fang Yi could even examine it closely, he saw a boy in a plaid children's outfit squatting and playing in the living room.
The child looked normal, except his face was a little pale.
Ever since he learned that the old woman might be a "ghost," he knew no one lived here.
Therefore, the boy before him had only one possibility: he was a "ghost"!
Fang Yi had come back specifically to observe the form of a "ghost."
So, without disturbing the child's play, he immediately projected his consciousness.
The scene before him suddenly changed!
The villa, which had appeared perfectly normal before, was now filled with lines composed of black particles.
These lines spread throughout every inch of the house, but were most concentrated around the playing child.
Fang Yi finally saw the true form of the "ghost"!
To be precise, it was a phantom formed by the release of energy from some energy source.
Yes, it was a substance, invisible to the naked eye, but capable of invading the bio-energy field and manifesting in human thought.
Simply put, it was real, but the principle behind it was somewhat similar to hallucinations.
How amazing!
Fang Yi clicked his tongue in amazement.
Ignoring the child, he followed the trail towards the energy source.
It was in the garden outside the house.
Initially, there was nothing unusual while moving around inside.
However, after Fang Yi "passed through" the glass door of the garden, something strange happened!
Fang Yi felt a chill creeping in from somewhere, invading his mind.
Although he was in an astral state, he still had a strange, chilling feeling, as if some terrifying monster was lurking ahead.
"Hmm?"
Fang Yi stopped.
He could feel "cold" even in his astral state?
For some reason, the entire surrounding area became completely silent—no birds, beasts, or human voices.
Time seemed to speed up, and the sky quickly darkened.
Not pitch black, but a dark red darkness.
Crimson blood flowed all around, spreading towards him.
He was enveloped in blood!
"Not good!"
Fang Yi looked around at the viscous blood and became alert.
As expected, the next moment, terrifying, corroded faces covered in insects appeared, faintly visible.
These faces emitted a sharp, piercing "cluck cluck cluck" sound, like shattering glass.
Similar to the sound of the golden dragon roaring in the temple earlier, each sound sent ripples through Fang Yi's soul, as if he were under attack.
He even felt pain.
Fang Yi narrowed his eyes and shouted, "What kind of monster is this?" His
bio-energy field transmitted this information towards the energy convergence point ahead.
The next moment, the black energy mass seemed enraged, suddenly expanding and becoming even more terrifyingly blood-red!
Fang Yi clearly saw "blood rain" falling from the sky.
Drip.
Drip.
Drops of blood hit the ground with a sound.
An even more terrifying scene unfolded.
With each drop of blood hitting the ground, a skeletal arm emerged from the earth.
Immediately, skeletons crawled out and pounced on Fang Yi's soul!
Fang Yi was terrified, but he didn't lose his senses. Instinctively, he wanted to clench his fist and swing it.
Surprisingly, it actually worked. He saw his bio-energy field conjure a fist that slammed into a skeleton.
The skeleton shattered with a crash.
Huh, it actually worked?
Before Fang Yi could even rejoice, hundreds upon hundreds of skeletons rushed at him, instantly engulfing him.
Two fists can't fight four hands.
Although each punch shattered a skeleton, with the continuous rain of blood, more and more skeletons appeared. Finally, the sky and the ground were almost entirely filled with the menacing figures of skeletons!
Finally, one skeleton broke through the defenses and bit down hard on Fang Yi's bio-energy field.
Hiss!
Pain!
Excruciating pain!
Fang Yi's soul trembled, and a ball of energy dissipated in an instant.
He finally confirmed one thing: the skeletons conjured from the energy ball before him could damage his bio-energy field!
Currently, only one skeleton had bitten him, and it didn't seem to have much impact on his soul.
What if he were attacked ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times?
Fang Yi couldn't guarantee that his soul wouldn't be completely devoured.
He could no longer afford to fight. He suddenly pushed his bio-energy field to its limit, unleashing a burst of golden light that overturned the entangled skeletons. Then, his thoughts retreated like a tide back to his physical body at the doorway.
Upon returning to his body, Fang Yi felt a chill, as if the bio-energy field had brought back some cold substance, making him uncomfortable.
However, the next moment, his internal energy flowed, and the chill vanished instantly.
Fang Yi stared at the garden. There was no blood, blood rain, or skeletons. Outside, the weather was still sunny and calm. Even the children who had been playing in the middle of the house had disappeared. It was as if everything had been an illusion.
But he knew clearly that it wasn't an illusion.
That energy ball was attacking him!
It seemed to want him to stay away!
Fang Yi took a deep breath, not daring to approach the garden again. Instead, he once again projected his soul into his body, immersing his thoughts in the constructed model of the divine statue, watching the garden from afar.
He wanted to see what was so powerful.
The next second, he saw it clearly.
It wasn't one thing, but two.
In the corner of the garden, a bio-energy field, resembling that of a person separated from their physical body after death, floated and lingered.
The only difference between this and the bio-energy field of the recently deceased elderly person Fang Yi had seen in the hospital was that this bio-energy field seemed to lack any "thought," more like a memory cluster constantly replaying events from its past life.
Because he couldn't get close enough to touch the particles, he naturally couldn't know its specific content.
A person's bio-energy field should dissipate rapidly after physical death, but this bio-energy field hadn't dissipated because of the powerful white jade containing immense energy underground, which was constantly releasing energy. This energy was being absorbed by the bio-energy field, preventing it from dissipating.
Such pure energy!
Fang Yi had a feeling that if he could obtain that magical white jade, it might greatly increase his cultivation level!
"But how can I get close to the white jade? The bio-energy field on it attacks as soon as I approach. It's a headache."
Fang Yi frowned, deep in thought for a long time.
Perhaps he had been thinking for too long, because Zhu Licheng and Xiao Zhang, worried about his safety, came in from outside.
"Great Immortal, are you alright?" Zhu Licheng asked.
Hearing the voice, Fang Yi snapped out of his reverie, turned his head, and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine. I just had a fight with that 'ghost,' and it wasn't easy to handle."
"What? There really are ghosts?" Xiao Zhang shuddered in fright.
Fang Yi didn't know how to explain to them that there were no ghosts in the world, so he didn't bother changing his form of address. "There are, but it's not unsolvable. I'm thinking of a way."
Zhu Licheng said somewhat fearfully, "Great Immortal, why don't we go to the temple and pray to the Bodhisattva?"
Pray to the Bodhisattva... wait!
Fang Yi's eyes lit up. Since that bio-energy field could launch an attack against him, he could also "conjure" something to attack it in return. He hadn't used it before because he hadn't considered that method. After Zhu Licheng's reminder, Fang Yi suddenly remembered that the statue model he had copied from the temple had a small special ability: it could use special materials to create door knockers, sculptures, and other objects that could conjure golden dragons! Fang Yi had experienced the power of the golden dragon firsthand; its roar had almost shattered his bio-energy field, far more powerful than the skeleton conjured from the bio-energy field in the garden!
