His strong body, however, seemed so fragile and defenseless before the outsider.
The outsider easily killed him and stole his jade pendant.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself already refined into a puppet.
He still clearly remembered the words the outsider had spoken.
"The preparations for the ritual are finally complete, it can officially begin."
Although his body lost control, his consciousness remained clear.
He watched with his own eyes as his body massacred his entire clan!
His heart was filled with unbearable pain, yet it was all in vain.
The flesh and blood of his clansmen merged into the jade pendant floating in mid-air.
The outsider then revealed the truth.
It turned out that the appearance of this jade pendant was all orchestrated by the outsider...
He had used this method to destroy many tribes in other places before, but he had never found anyone compatible with the jade pendant.
And now, he had finally found one.
At this moment, he realized that everything from the beginning had been a conspiracy.
It was he himself who, with his own hands, had buried the future of his clan...
After the ritual was completed, the skeleton completely lost consciousness.
During this time, many people had come here.
Some failed to awaken him and thus escaped disaster.
Some accidentally awakened him and were forever trapped here.
Even though his heart was unwilling, he still could not stop his body from doing these things.
Today, the little witch destroyed his body, which in a way was a release for him.
"Thank you, two benefactors." After speaking, the soul bowed to the two of them: "Now, I can finally be at peace..."
With these words, the soul began to dissipate bit by bit.
"Then do you know the background of that outsider?" Ye Fan quickly asked.
"He seemed to say he was from Ge City, but I don't know anything more specific." After the soul finished speaking, it completely dissipated.
The tomb chamber suddenly became quiet.
Faint specks of fluorescent light floated up from Yao Daomei, the two of them, and the skeletal remains, entering Ye Fan's chest.
"Speaking of which, he was also a pitiable person..." the little witch sighed, and with her true qi, she placed the skeletal remains back into the coffin.
Then the little witch rolled up the coffin and laid it flat in the center of the tomb chamber.
"It's all over now, you can rest in peace..."
The little witch murmured softly.
"Little witch." Ye Fan waited until she finished doing all this before speaking, "Do you know where Ge City is?"
"Never heard of it..." the little witch shook her head.
"Forget it... Let's go out first," Ye Fan sighed and led the way outside.
Upon returning to the surface, the sun was high in the sky.
This trip to the tomb not only yielded no gains but also left Ye Fan with more questions.
His own jade pendant could not possess such abilities; it seemed it had been tampered with by someone else.
Who was it?
What was his purpose in doing this?
And where did that person get his jade pendant from?
Now, the only clue pointed towards the unknown Ge City.
But this cultivation world was so vast, and he didn't even have a general direction. Where should he look?
...
"Gulp." Ye Fan's thoughts were interrupted by the rumbling of his stomach.
He hadn't eaten since last night.
"I'll go catch something for you to eat!" the little witch said and flew away.
Before long, the little witch returned with a large fish.
The nearly one-meter-long fish was still wriggling. Ye Fan glanced at it but couldn't identify the species.
It was probably unique to this world.
However, Ye Fan didn't start cooking immediately. Instead, he took the little witch a dozen miles away.
After all, barbecuing on someone's grave was considered too impolite...
A small accident occurred while preparing the fish.
Ye Fan's hand was pricked by a fishbone.
Ye Fan immediately realized something was wrong!
Normally, the "dog system" would desperately protect him from injury. Why had it suddenly changed its ways?
Something was not right!
"Ah, Ye Fan, you're injured!" the little witch exclaimed, grabbed Ye Fan's finger, and put it in her mouth to suck.
Ye Fan was startled and quickly pulled his hand away: "Let go!"
Unfortunately, he was just a weak mortal, and his strength was no match for the little witch.
"No!" the little witch looked up, her face serious, "Your constitution is too weak; you can't withstand the poison of this fish demon!"
"Then let go, I'll do it myself!" Ye Fan continued to struggle.
"Don't worry!" the little witch comforted him, "When I was little and bled, my mother would stop the bleeding this way, it was very effective."
After saying that, the little witch again put Ye Fan's finger in her mouth and began to suck.
A faint black gas flowed back and forth between the little witch's lips and Ye Fan's finger, occasionally drawing out wisps of green venom.
Ye Fan despaired...
The little witch's lips were soft, and coupled with this ambiguous posture...
A certain instinct within Ye Fan began to awaken...
Ye Fan couldn't help but curse in his heart: Damn it! This must be the "dog system" causing trouble!
As if to confirm Ye Fan's thoughts, a suggestive piece of music abruptly began to play.
And the ground where Ye Fan and the little witch were standing began to transform into a soft bed...
The bed was soft and was gently rocking...
The little witch looked up at Ye Fan, her eyes becoming increasingly dazed...
Without hesitation, Ye Fan pulled out a sword and swung it at his own arm.
"Ye Fan, what are you doing?" His action successfully woke the little witch.
Ye Fan also took the opportunity while the little witch was distracted to pull his hand back.
"It's okay now, I'm fine," Ye Fan raised his recovered finger to show her.
"See, I told you it was effective!" the little witch tilted her head up proudly.
[So friggin unromantic, ptooey!]
The system grumbled, and the surroundings returned to normal.
After that, there were no more mishaps, and the fish meat was successfully grilled.
The little witch stared at the grilled fish, swallowing repeatedly, like a pet waiting to be fed...
However, the system didn't seem inclined to stop there.
[I'm so stupid!]
[This 'salty fish' loves to eat so much, I can completely leverage this aspect!]
[Mwahaha, this system is so brilliant!]
[Hiss... Intelligent module overloaded, unknown bug detected... Hiss...]
[Entering emergency repair state, repairing...]
[Repair failed, restarting...]
...
As the system's voice fell, the fish on the grill emitted a faint golden glow.
This scene, combined with the tempting aroma of the fish...
If some people saw it, they would undoubtedly exclaim that phrase.
Could this be the legendary glowing delicacy!
Unfortunately, Ye Fan had no such thoughts.
It was obvious that the fish had been tampered with by the system.
This thing definitely couldn't be eaten anymore!
"Alright, let's eat," Ye Fan gestured, and then took out some leftover food from his ring.
[Restart complete, this system is back!]
The system suddenly exclaimed.
The food Ye Fan had just taken out was again enveloped in a faint golden glow.
[You salty fish, let's see what you can do to fight me!]
