"So you’re saying, even if his head and body have separated, he can continue to absorb the mana and Gu poison from his own body, right?"
Manager Li said: "Exactly, my master mentioned such a Gu before, at that time all my senior brothers sighed, wondering who in the world would cultivate this type of Gu. I didn’t expect Master Tianjizi to be so profound that he would actually study it!"
What Cai Wei cares about is not why Master Tianjizi would learn such Gu, but she is concerned about the corpse that can provide mana and Gu poison for the revealed head.
Nangong Yi seemed to see her thoughts and began to laugh at her.
Cai Wei also smiled at him, and the two understood each other’s thoughts without saying anything.
"I’ll go, lest I dirty you!"
Nangong Yi laughed and leapt to a spot not far from the corpse, took out a firelighter, and set the dry grass under his feet on fire.
The dry grass was lit and, carried by the wind, burned towards the corpse, crackling loudly. Afraid that the fire was not strong enough, Nangong Yi cut some branches nearby and threw them onto the corpse. After the corpse was set on fire, a group of ugly little bugs rushed out of the neck of the corpse, with their grotesque bodies. They crawled densely towards them.
Cai Wei has a fear of clusters, she saw this pile of disgusting things, and her hairs stood on end. She turned and ran towards the distance.
Looking at the fleeing figure, Nangong Yi laughed, then leapt to a place downwind and lit another pile of dry grass. The bugs were burnt with a crackling noise, and a foul stench suddenly filled the air.
This stench made Cai Wei feel sick, and she bent over, almost throwing up.
A pure white handkerchief was handed over, with Nangong Yi’s warm voice: "Use this to cover your mouth and nose!"
Cai Wei gratefully accepted it and asked him, "Don’t you need it?" As soon as she finished speaking, she felt sick again, quickly covered her mouth and nose with the handkerchief and made no sound.
The man’s handkerchief was woven from the most precious brocade, white and fragrant, spotless. Covered over her mouth and nose, she could tell that the pleasant scent was Dragon Saliva perfume. Cai Wei greedily inhaled a couple of times, only then did she gradually ease the nausea in her belly.
Manager Li was not having a good time at this moment. He was bare-chested, only wearing a thin pair of underpants and a shoe, with nothing to cover his mouth and nose. The foul stench made him bend over and start throwing up violently, he was utterly disoriented.
Nangong Yi sat cross-legged, using his martial arts skills to adjust his breath and ease the discomfort caused by this stench.
"Master, it’s not good, the spiritual energy of the space is almost exhausted!"
The Old Turtle, who had been watching their fight, cried anxiously.
Due to the massive loss of spiritual energy, all the flowers and trees in the space had disappeared, and Lingxi River had become turbid. Everything had returned to the initial state of the space.
"How much longer can we hold on?" she asked.
Old Turtle thought for a moment: "At most half an hour."
Cai Wei covered her mouth and nose, quickly came to Manager Li’s side, and asked: "Old shopkeeper, how much longer can Master Tianjizi’s Descending Head technique last, it won’t always exist, will it!"
Manager Li said intermittently: "The body of Master Tianjizi was burned by us, he can’t hold on much longer, at most about an hour!"
Cai Wei was downhearted. Camouflage energy could only last another half hour at most, but if Master Tianjizi’s Descending Head technique could last an hour, then that extra half hour, the Old Monster would certainly not spare them.
Master Tianjizi’s skull was hitting against the cage formed by the spiritual energy, laughing madly. The gilded mask was knocked off, revealing a ghostly face which gave everyone a shock.
