Soul Echo

The shimmering blade with no difficulty cuts through the musculature of the attacker, easier than splitting a piece of wood.

Zhong Ye pressed down the long knife, and the wind blew up from all sides.

The force measured in tons is condensed in a line, and the expelled air squeezes the surrounding environment, so the dust deposited on the ground is flying, and the shape of the wind is revealed.

The corpse that was split in half flew past Lillian and the others, hit the wall, and bounced to the ground.

Listening to the strange voice behind her, Lily Lieber got goosebumps, turned her head involuntarily and looked towards her behind, for fear that the corpse would get up again.

However, to her surprise, she didn't see any bloodstains on the wall by the faint light from the long knife.

Then, Lily lowered her head and looked at her body.

"There is no blood..."

If there is blood, the blade of the long knife will be smeared with blood, and it is still impossible that there is still so much light.

“It is true that there is no blood.” Zhong Ye said indifferently.

Lily and the others didn't notice, but because of his strong perception, the moment the attacker appeared, his eyes caught its silhouette and saw its shape clearly.

It was a young man dressed in a 'modern' adventurer, but his face was sluggish and expressionless.

The heartbeat still exists in the body, and the 'blood' is still flowing.

Now it seems that there is no blood flowing in that body at all!

In just an instant, Zhong Ye's will took over the body's instinct, and the heart pumped suddenly, making the blood boil.

The simultaneous internal and external breathing squeezes the power out of the cells, and the replaced high-energy keys awaken the sleeping body.

The limbs and bones were reborn, just twisting the ankles and turning back, the air let out a whimpering sound.

ka ka ka!

The metal ground is deformed, and the feedback force surges from the sole of the foot, through the Achilles tendon, soleus muscle, and gastrocnemius muscle, into the knee.

Then, Zhong Ye, who was leaning down like a wild beast, swooped in.

The surging power burst out under the feet, and the roar suddenly sounded.

Lilian and Lily Lieber only felt a gust of wind blowing against their faces, Zhong Ye's silhouette disappeared in front of them, and then a loud bang came from behind, and a more violent wind came one after another!

"Hah!"

Zhong Ye's shouted voice was especially loud in this silent space, Lillian and the others hurriedly turned their heads and saw a glistening torrent.

The power diffused from the blade was transformed into light, and the power from the sun instantly dispelled the darkness in the passage, leaving the monster emerging from the corpse nowhere to hide.

It was a cloud of black mist—a black mist that was split in half by Zhong Ye with a knife, still surging, trying to glue it together!

However, when Zhong Ye fired the knife just now, he injected 'qi' into the blade.

It is the chorus of 'soul' and 'body', the echo of 'life'.

The strong aura of 'life' continued to erode the black fog, Zhong Ye took two steps back, and watched the black fog slowly evaporate and dissipate.

Lily Lieber came over and asked suspiciously: "Zhong, was that... the kind of Easterland monster you were talking about?"

"It looks very Like, I just don't know, why did it appear here..."

Zhong Ye frowned, apart from this, he still had a doubt in his heart - why did the skin that was controlled by 'painted skin' look like Not smart at all?

It behaves like a wild beast, and instead of running away immediately after its shell is destroyed, it appears to be trying to snatch their bodies.

Those 'painted skins' I've seen before are not smart, but at least they are smart, know how to use the weird intimidation of their own appearance, and even scared him back a few steps, only then did he fail to catch up, resulting in what happened later.

Could it be that there is some power inside the metal building that can make people mentally retarded?

speaking of which, it seemed that the one who attacked them in the hall before was also 'painted skin' - at least that power gave him the same feeling as those 'painted skin' gave him.

"Teacher, are we going to go further?" Lilian walked over and asked timidly.

"...Forget it." Zhong Ye shook the head, "That's it."

Although he still wanted to go deeper and see what was inside, would make the owner of the 'bazaar' so frightened.

But seeing Lillian and the others in shock, he knew that they were almost at their limit.

Zhong Ye and the others went back the same way. When they passed the hall, they found that all the people inside had dispersed, and only the staff of the 'market' remained.

Those staff saw the three Zhong Ye as if they had seen a ghost. They had never seen anyone who could walk out alive after stepping into the depths of this building.

The three of Zhong Ye stood under the light, but they did not show any discomfort, their eyes were vivid and flexible, and the expressions on their faces were not dull.

Zhong Ye and the others passed by the 'market' staff, but those staff did not dare to stop Zhong Ye and the others to ask about the deep part of the building.

——Those people did what they couldn't do by themselves. How could they have the courage to stop them?

"Right, Zhong."

After leaving the metal building, Lily suddenly remembered something, turned her head and looked towards Zhong Ye, "You didn't say that you have a special Ability, can all creatures not be hostile to you when they see you for the first time? Why didn't it take effect just now?"

hearing this, Zhong Ye himself felt a little strange.

"en? Can 'painted skin' be considered a 'creature'?" Zhong Ye rubbed his chin and frowned.

It stands to reason that 'painted skins' can be divided into juveniles and adults, so they should also be considered creatures, but their growth conditions and the breath they carry also make Zhong Ye feel the identity of their 'creatures' Be suspicious.

In addition, those altars that were filled with the breath of 'death' and could corrupt the natural environment that I saw in Chartres before were probably inseparable from the 'painted skin', which is another doubt.

After thinking hard for a moment, Zhong Ye gave up thinking.

He doesn't study biology, let alone 'painted skin'.

Since you can't get the answer, don't think about it!

Take a night's rest and see how Lily is doing tomorrow. If she is in good shape, take action and search for the traces of Nemo's paintings based on the clues obtained earlier.

…………

Unsurprisingly, Lily Lieber used willpower for two days before, but on the 3rd day, which is today, she finally couldn’t carry it .

The whole person was lying on the bed, without any strength, and the muscles all over the body were screaming pain.

Lily stared blankly at the ceiling, and after a while, she turned her head and looked towards Zhong Ye and Lillian who pushed the door in.

"How did you do it?"

Zhong Ye doesn't matter, the strength is enough to make him ignore the exhaustion during the journey, but isn't Lillian weaker than her? ? How to relieve physical fatigue?

"Usually when I take Lillian to exercise, I intentionally help her relieve muscle fatigue." Zhong Ye put the breakfast on the table and looked back towards Lily, "I remember I invited you to exercise together before. Come on, but you're too lazy."

"Next time, definitely next time."

Lily nodded perfunctorily, just about to get up from the bed, when Zhong was hit Ye pressed back.

"It happens that you are not feeling well, why don't you drop by the textbook, I want to teach Lillian how to relieve muscle fatigue."

Lily froze for a moment, then a smile crept up her brows , "Then what are you going to...how to guide?"

"Turn over."

Lily turned over obediently, lay on the bed, and then felt someone crawled onto the bed and straddled her. on the back.

"Start from the shoulders first."

Zhong Ye's voice came from the bedside, causing Lily to turn her head in surprise.

"No, didn't you do it?"

Zhong Ye gave her a strange look, shook his head and said, "Practice is the best way to learn, you can learn how to do it yourself as soon as possible. Relieve muscle soreness, after all men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things, if something like this happens again in the future, you can ask Lillian to help you solve it."

Lily caught it out of the corner of her eye. With a shy smile on Lilian's face, a sense of crisis suddenly appeared in her heart.

"Don't--ah!"

The palm clenched suddenly, and then slowly relaxed.

Don't say it, it's quite comfortable.
