Chapter 344: Three hundred and forty-three, source

Under the pitch-black night, two shadowy figures were rapidly running through the mountain ridges.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo stopped by a small lake. After tracking for a while, they discovered that the source of the corpse worms was in this very lake.

"Let’s go down and have a look," Luo Shu said to Lu Hanmo.

"You stay in the space, I’ll go down and check. If there’s no danger, then you can come out," Lu Hanmo said. With him around, he would absolutely not let her face any danger.

"Alright!" Luo Shu readily agreed with a sweet smile, and flashed into the space.

Lu Hanmo summoned Formation Flags and, after setting up a Shielding Array, stepped into the lake.

The lake water was dark and icy. It teemed with corpse worms wriggling incessantly, a sight that was somewhat bone-chilling.

Lu Hanmo, nimble and agile, dove into the depths of the water while using his Divine Sense to carve a path for himself.

Finally, he reached the bottom of the lake. It was overgrown with aquatic plants and everywhere lay thick, black mud.

Moving slowly towards the gathering place of the corpse worms, Lu Hanmo quickly discovered a Concealment Formation that had already been damaged. He lifted a hand to release a Formation Flag and entered.

What appeared before him was a cave dwelling, where the number of corpse worms was even more astronomical, sending shivers through the scalp of anyone who saw them.

Lu Hanmo activated an Invisibility Talisman and walked towards the depths of the cave dwelling.

The cave was deep yet spacious, but entirely void of human presence.

Lu Hanmo walked to the depths of the cave and saw a large hall. The hall was empty except for a jade table and four jade chairs. Now he could confirm that this place wasn’t associated with any True Cultivation Sect.

Following the trail of the corpse worms further forward, Lu Hanmo came upon a sight that made his stomach turn. Countless corpse worms were writhing around a skeleton seated in a meditative pose, which was continuously absorbing the essence they released.

"Who’s there?!" the skeleton slowly spoke, its voice eerie.

Lu Hanmo observed the skeleton and realized he couldn’t see through its Cultivation level. This indicated that the skeleton’s Cultivation must be above his own.

"Come out!" the skeleton spoke again, its voice even colder than before.

Lu Hanmo waved his hand, and countless Formation Flags instantly encircled the skeleton. This skeleton was using the corpse worms to suck in essence, undoubtedly in an attempt to restore its flesh body.

But restoring a flesh body was not so easy. Even if these corpse worms kept absorbing essence continuously for years, it might not be able to fully recover. Therefore, he had to eliminate this skeleton this time, otherwise the area affected by the corpse worms would grow larger and larger.

Seeing itself surrounded by the Formation, the skeleton paused slightly, "If you have the ability, come out and face me. What’s the point of hiding?!"

Lu Hanmo slightly curved his lips into a smile and lifted his hand to launch another Formation Flag, "Explode!"

As the Formation Flags were planted, the Formation "boom, boom!" exploded into self-destruction.

"Ah!" The skeleton roared in anger, releasing its energy outward. However, it was currently in a critical period of recovery, and its energy was barely half of what it once was.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Explosions continued to sound one after another.

They collided violently with the energy released by the skeleton, creating a powerful impact force. The force exploded instantaneously like a flood, covering the sky and spreading tumultuously in all directions, turning everything it touched into nothingness. The swarms of Corpse Worms that were once everywhere abruptly vanished without a trace.

The moment the explosions began, Lu Hanmo had already been pulled into the space by Luo Shu.

Through the space, the two of them closely monitored the situation outside. When the explosions finally subsided, they once again flashed out of the space.

Feeling the two reappear, the skeleton immediately looked up at them, "Who would’ve thought that I, Xu Ping, who was once so powerful, would end up falling at the hands of two little children, hahaha..." He laughed like a madman, his laughter filled with dense resentment.

"You are Xu Ping, the Nascent Soul Cultivator?" Luo Shu exclaimed in surprise. Last time, in the Ancient Tomb, she had obtained a sheepskin scroll that, in a small corner, contained a line of text written by someone named Xu Ping. He claimed he was a Cultivator from the True Cultivation World who had ended up on Yuan Star after being schemed against during a treasure hunt.

Besides that line of text, there was the location of Xu Ping’s hidden treasure. However, since the sheepskin scroll was damaged, she had only a small part of it and did not know the exact location of the treasure. Unexpectedly, she had stumbled upon Xu Ping himself this time. It seemed the treasure should indeed be on his person.

"Did you get the sheepskin scroll I left behind?" Xu Ping’s laughter came to an abrupt halt, and his blood-red eyes, set in a skull devoid of flesh, looked at Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo in shock.

"If you are Xu Ping, then that’s probably it," Luo Shu said, her lips curving into a smile.

If Xu Ping could still spit blood at this point, he would have spit out three liters. Originally, he left that sheepskin scroll in hopes of luring Cultivators over to snatch their bodies to aid his own recovery. The Spiritual Energy on Yuan Star was scarce and, though there were people engaging in True Cultivation, their Strength was definitely not high. With the Strength of his Nascent Soul Cultivation, Soul Snatching would have been a breeze.

But what he did not anticipate was that he would attract a pair of Evil Gods. Their Strength wasn’t as great as his, but now, he no longer had the Strength to snatch bodies. The recent self-explosion of the Formation had injured his Primordial Spirit. Unless he could find Revival Water, all that awaited him was the slow dissipation of his Primordial Spirit.

Luo Shu took out several Attack Talismans and threw them at Xu Ping, noting the pale golden Ring on his fleshless finger.

The already weakened Primordial Spirit of Xu Ping could not withstand the Attack Talismans and, unwilling to yield, vanished.

"Clatter!" With the disappearance of the Primordial Spirit, Xu Ping’s skeleton collapsed.

Lu Hanmo stepped forward to remove the Storage Ring from Xu Ping’s finger and then re-entered the space with Luo Shu.

They lifted the Restriction on the Storage Ring and poured out everything inside: Spirit Stones, Elixirs, various Artifact Refining Materials, Magic Artifacts... everything one could wish for.

Luo Shu picked up a silver mirror, "This mirror should be a Magic Artifact too, right?"

Lu Hanmo took the mirror, looked it over, and said, "There’s Spiritual Energy on it, it must be a Magic Artifact."

"Xiao Qing, do you recognize this mirror?" Luo Shu shook the mirror in her hand, asking Xiao Qing. Both she and Lu Hanmo were novices in the True Cultivation World and only had a superficial understanding of many True Cultivation items.

"This is the Illusion Demon Mirror; using it to attack your opponent can trap them in an Illusion Realm," Xiao Qing explained while looking at the Illusion Demon Mirror.
