Watch Out! Danger Ahead

Chapter 1072: The Holy Temple (1)

Those intertwined threads stuck to the man’s body, forming a thin film that wrapped him inside.

The baleful Yin force on the black cocoon passed through the threads and entered his body continuously.

Song qingxiao’s eyes brightened. She reached out and grabbed the entangled silk and pulled hard.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With a creaking sound, the net that was mostly wrapped around the man’s head broke, revealing the man’s face inside.

This person was already old, his hair and beard were all white, and his face was wrinkled.

He seemed to have just fallen asleep. Other than not breathing, his bodily functions did not wither after being sealed in the rock cave.

‘Dong Dong, Dong Dong, Dong Dong!’

After the giant cocoon was separated, song qingxiao could hear his heartbeat even more clearly.

The old man was indeed not dead. In the sealed cave, the huge black cocoon provided him with the energy to keep him from dying, allowing him to survive in such an environment.

However, after the black cocoon was broken and the black membrane on his face was torn apart, a large amount of air poured in, causing his face to rapidly darken.

It was like a newly excavated antique that began to oxidize and change color after coming into contact with the air.

Song qingxiao noticed this and reached out to tear the black membrane on his neck and chest.

The black Qi on his face began to spread down his neck, and soon spread to his chest.

‘Thump, thump, thump-‘

His previously calm and powerful heartbeat began to slow down as his skin left the entanglement of the black threads.

Seeing this, song qingxiao tore the cocoon open even more, and the black gas inside the cocoon broke.

As the silk thread in the giant cocoon was broken, the ‘Dong Dong’ heart began to beat rapidly, as if it was the last radiance of death. The surrounding black mist surged even more urgently, trying to reconnect the broken silk thread, but it failed under the obstruction of song Qing’s little spiritual energy.

Not long after, the violently beating heart became slower and slower. Finally, the sound came to an abrupt end. The surroundings fell into a strange silence and completely disappeared.

Then, the old man’s eyes, nose, ears, and mouth began to spray out a large amount of black sewage.

The black water was extremely smelly. Like several water arrows, it instantly soaked the black cocoon.

A large stream of water rushed towards song qingxiao through the opened cocoon. She did not know where the water came from, but she would not allow it to splash on her.

In a flash, spiritual energy flickered above song qingxiao’s head, and a purple infant that looked exactly like her appeared.

The purple infant’s expression was solemn as it formed a seal with its tiny hands. The ‘Lin’ word immediately transformed into a domain and enveloped the large amount of black water that was pouring over.

A large amount of black water began to gush out of the old man’s body. As the water gushed out, his body shrank rapidly, and his limbs curled up even more.

His face also began to change, and a large number of black spots appeared on his exposed skin.

The spots quickly spread to his eyes, lips, nostrils, and then down in a flash. In about two or three breaths, the old man’s previously fresh and soft skin immediately turned into a gray-brown color, like rotten leaves.

His face caved in, and the beard on his lips began to fall off like a piece of paper, revealing his teeth.

Then, his teeth changed color and his eyelids caved in.

The black cocoon around him also lost its luster. The previously extremely hard cocoon skin also collapsed in an instant, like a layer of cotton wadding that had absorbed enough water. It was thick and bloated, and it covered his body heavily. It could no longer support the stone walls on top, bottom, left, and right, and rolled onto the ground with a ‘bang’.

Song Qing and Xiao ru watched a wonderful and exciting show. The ‘person’ who was still alive a second ago had turned into a decayed skeleton that seemed to have been dead for more than a thousand years.

The corpse covered by the cocoon skin on the ground was no longer breathing. It should be a true, complete death.

Her gaze stayed on the corpse for a moment, then her gaze fell on the black water that was trapped in the ‘Lin’ word domain. She injected her spiritual power into it, and the water was instantly frozen into a black ice ball about the size of a fist. She then kept it in her pocket dimension.

After the cocoon collapsed, the stone wall behind it was revealed.

There were also some strange patterns on the stone wall, similar to the stone tablet she had broken into at the beginning. There was a mysterious power on it that was connected to the entire holy temple.
