Chapter 498 Soul And Skeletons

Meanwhile, as they exit the portal, a man and a woman arrive in a large garden, but it is filled with black flowers, which they have never seen before.

Moreover, those black flowers gave off an extremely pungent smell of carrion, which made them feel so nauseous.

The woman then took out a scrolled map and matched the area on the map, but before long she frowned and said. "This area is not on the map that Ding Yuan gave me; it seems that the portal brings us to a deeper area, Ling Xin."

"Hmm?" Ling Xin was shocked to hear that, but he realized something. "Where's Old Shitian? Why didn't he show up here? We entered the portal at the same time."

"I don't know, but I think the portal led him to another area." Gao Lan replied by shaking her head and spreading her senses, but her senses couldn't go beyond the garden. "This ruin is really weird; something is blocking my senses."

Ling Xin nodded in agreement with her, and he then approached the strange black tree located in the middle of the garden and examined it. "Hey, Gao Lan, I feel something strange from this tree."

Gao Lan didn't answer Ling Xin and walked over to a large statue at the west end of the garden; her eyes narrowed after she saw the shape of the statue.

The upper part of the statue was shaped like a dragon with two large wings on its back, but the lower part was like a giant snake. Gao Lan then looked at the nameplate under the statue and tried to read the writing, but unfortunately she couldn't, especially since it was written in the immortal language.

"What kind of beast is this? I've never seen a beast like this before." Guo Lan muttered to herself as he stood up. She then headed to the murals behind the statue, and the murals depicted the beast attacking the humans and even swallowing many of them alive. "This beast is truly horrible! Judging from these murals, I'm sure the size of the beast is definitely enormous, and it's dozens of times larger than any beast on this planet. I really don't dare imagine that if a beast like this appeared in the Seven Star World, our world would definitely be torn apart by its actions."

At the time Gao Lan was busy examining those murals. Ling Xin, who was inspecting the black tree, suddenly inhaled black smoke from the tree, and a woman spoke to him.

'Would you like to have the woman over there?'

'Who are you? How can you speak into my mind directly?' Ling Xin fearfully asked, because it wasn't a voice transmission, but the woman was clearly speaking directly from within him.

The woman laughed softly and replied. 'You don't need to be afraid of me; I can see the hidden desires in your soul, and I can help you fulfill all of them, starting with that woman.'

'Really? Can you really fulfill them?' Ling Xin asked in disbelief as he glanced at Gao Lan, and he suddenly saw her naked. 'What the hell? Why is she naked?'

'Haha! That is a bit of my ability, my eyes can see through various inanimate objects.' The woman explained this to Ling Xin as she chuckled. 'If you are willing to help me, I will definitely fulfill your hidden desires.'

Ling Xin became excited upon seeing Gao Lan's naked body; she then asked the woman. 'What do you want from me? As long as you can help me, then I will definitely help you.'

'I know that several women have entered this place, and there is one whose body is suitable for my soul to inhabit, so I want you to help me take over her body.'

Ling Xin raised his eyebrows upon hearing that. 'So you're just a soul, and you don't have a body of your own?'

'Correct!' The woman then explained. 'I am the soul of that beast, and my name is Silvana, one of the Dark Race. Unfortunately, my body was destroyed by someone thousands of years ago, and I need a new body to be able to live again.'

'Which woman do you want?' Soon, an image of a woman appeared in Ling Xin's mind, and an evil smile appeared on his face upon learning the identity of the woman Silvana wanted. 'What a coincidence! I really hate that woman's husband, so I'll help you get her body later.'

'That's really good! As a token of our cooperation, I will help you get that woman first.' After Silvana said that, black smoke emerged from Ling Xin's body and rushed rapidly towards Gao Lan.

Gao Lan, who was still busy checking the murals, didn't notice it, and the black smoke immediately entered her body. A few second later, her eyes went blank, and she then walked towards Ling Xin while talking to her. "Hehe, this mortal woman's soul is too weak, so I was able to take over her body easily with my marionette technique. Unfortunately, her physique is also too weak for me, and her body will explode if I use it too long."

"Hmm? What happened to Gao Lan's soul? Is she going to die?" Ling Xin asked worriedly, he didn't want to be suspected by Ding Yuan and the others, so he didn't want her to die.

Gao Lan shook her head at him. "By using my technique, her soul falls into a deep sleep, and only I or my race can free her from it."

"That means she won't remember everything, right?" Ling Xin asked excitedly; he had wanted Gao Lan to be his woman for so long, but her cultivation was three minor stages above his, so he couldn't do anything to her.

Gao Lan smiled and put his arm around Ling Xin's neck. "You don't need to worry about that, her soul can never wake up again, so she will be your doll forever, and you can use her however you want."

Ling Xin laughed out loud with joy after hearing that. Hee then kissed Gao Lan's lips, and his hands roamed every inch of her body, and soon they started to dual cultivate.

---------------------------------------

Meanwhile, an old man is trapped in a very deep hole, and there are so many human skeletons in the hole.

The old man was none other than Hua Shitian, and when he came out of the portal, he immediately fell into the hole. He had tried to exert his cultivation, but his energy wouldn't come out at all, so he tried to climb up through the side of the hole, and he was now halfway there. "Fuck! I really was unlucky to fall into this damn hole! Moreover, there seems to be a sealing formation in this hole, and it makes me unable to use my cultivation."

After he had climbed for a long time, Hua Shitian finally managed to get out of the hole, but he was immediately shocked at the area in front of his eyes. "What the fuck is this place?"

Around the place, there were all kinds of torture equipment, and there were countless human skeletons left.

"I remember that kid saying that this ruin belongs to the Dark Race, but I didn't expect that they would be so ruthless." Hua Shitian said as he approached the human skeleton that was hanging upside down, and he scanned the remains of the skeleton. "This is really weird; they've been dead for a long time, but their skeletons are still intact and connected together. However, they were brutally tortured before they died."

After that, Hua Shitian went to check on the other skeletons, but he didn't notice that the skeletons in the hole started to gather and merge with each other, and a blood-red light appeared in their eye sockets.

Apart from them, the skulls in the torture area were the same; blood-red light flashed in their eyes, and they turned to look at Hua Shitian.

Since the skeletons were dead, no energy was emitted from them, and Hua Shitian still didn't notice their changes.

Hua Shitian suddenly felt cold and shivering, he then walked to a large door and tried to open it, but it was tightly locked from the outside. He then tried to punch the door, but his attack was absorbed by it. "Damn it! This door doesn't budge at all."

*Clack... Clack...*

Hua Shitian turned towards the voice, and he was shocked to see so many skeletons standing in front of him. "Fudge! How did they come back to life!?"

Hua Shitian then mustered up his energy, and he started fighting with the skeletons.
