Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Xia Xin’s Terrifying Experience

Hearing Jiangli’s earnest words, Xia Xin understood the purpose behind his ancestor’s teachings and, despite the fear he felt, he dug with all his might.

Fu’er watched him and said quietly, "Ancestor, he’s still so young, isn’t this a bit too stimulating for him..."

Jiangli glanced at him and said, "Otherwise, you want to help?"

Fu’er: "..."

Forget it, he’d better keep his mouth shut.

Fu’er made a gesture as if slapping his own mouth, indicating he wouldn’t speak again.

Only then did Jiangli turn his gaze away.

Before long...

Xia Xin felt the branch hit something hard and paused momentarily.

His scalp instantly tightened as he cautiously used the branch to move aside the soil.

The next second, a foot sprung from beneath the soil, landing a kick that sent Xia Xin tumbling to the ground.

Xia Xin landed heavily on his butt, somewhat startled, the surprise outweighing the fear he had felt before.

How could this severed limb still be kicking people!

Ignoring the pain, Xia Xin looked up and saw a wisp of black energy lunging toward him.

Xia Xin was startled.

Just then, a Spirit Talisman flew by, striking the black energy and causing it to fall back into the pit.

When Xia Xin turned his head,

he saw Jiangli approaching with a Peach Wood Plaque that had been prepared earlier, which she then thrust into the ground beside the pit.

The twitching ghost limb, which had been jerking about as if dancing, suddenly stopped moving.

Xia Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could fully relax, he heard Jiangli say,

"Take it with you."

"It?"

Xia Xin looked confused, not fully understanding what ’it’ referred to.

Could it be what he was thinking?

Meeting Xia Xin’s almost pleading gaze, Jiangli showed no mercy, "What do you think?"

Xia Xin: "..."

"You, you want me to take it with me?" Xia Xin’s fingers trembled as he pointed at the ghost limb.

Jiangli arched an eyebrow in impatience.

Xia Xin: "I, I understand."

Seeing him relent, Jiangli said, "Good, get a move on, we don’t have time to lose, this needs to be dealt with before dawn."

After speaking, she turned and walked away.

Xia Xin looked at the ghost limb.

Under the moonlight, the ghost limb didn’t look very appealing, half was deathly pale, and half showed exposed bone, with some yellowish-green stuff inside that looked like insect eggs.

Xia Xin shakily got to his feet, not daring to look, and with averted head, walked over with trembling hands that shook worse than an old lady’s with Parkinson’s.

It took him a long while before he finally touched the ghost limb.

But upon touching it...

The slimy sensation made the contents of Xia Xin’s stomach churn.

The meal he had eaten that night almost came surging out.

His face contorted as if struck by paralysis, he stood there, frozen, afraid to move.

Fu’er, unable to bear watching any further, produced a sack from nowhere and threw it in front of Xia Xin, "You, lad, why can’t you be more adaptable?"

Xia Xin stared blankly at the sack, then at Fu’er, "You... how did you..."

"You’re too young and don’t know the hardships of working with the ancestor; remember this for next time," Fu’er said gravely.

Xia Xin: "..."

Fu’er didn’t say anything more and walked away.

With his mind numb, Xia Xin couldn’t ponder too deeply and once again turned his attention to the ghost limb. Taking a deep breath, he muttered the Ghost-Exorcising Spell, struggling to stuff the ghost limb into the sack.

It was a great effort to get it in, and Xia Xin sighed with relief.

Carrying a sack was much better than carrying a foot.

He dragged the sack along as he followed Jiangli and Fu’er.

Soon, they arrived at another rocky area.

Jiangli repeated the earlier command, "Go dig."

Xia Xin suppressed his dizziness, walked over, and continued digging.

(Xia Xin: I never would have thought that following the ancestor would require learning some Lan Xiang Excavation Techniques.)
