Feng Zhizhi's actions were very efficient. He first collected some decayed goblin corpses to use as strange food in his body, and then he and Pei Chao took the tools to a deserted courtyard in the northeast of the town.
When they were digging a large pit on the south side of the town to store goblin heads, he and Pei Chao used the weapons provided by the goblins to make two simple shovels.
However, only Pei Chao used the shovel at this time, while Feng did not know that he was digging with his hands covered with [tempered horn].
Because their physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people, the two of them dug a three-meter-deep hole in less than half an hour.
Except for the occasional rocks, everything below is ordinary soil.
"Is the position that binds me really here? Why can't I feel anything?" Shadow looked at Feng Zhi and Pei Chao who were constantly digging, with expressions full of confusion. He really didn't feel anything: "Are you
Digging in the wrong place?”
Feng didn't know: "The location should be about 20 meters underground. Your body can pass through real objects and you can go down and feel it."
"Go underground and feel it? Yes, why did I forget that I can penetrate real objects? This is good, it will save you two wasted effort."
The shadow said that it was about to go underground, but suddenly stopped when its body was halfway through the soil.
"Eh? Why can't I get off?"
The shadow floated back to the surface in confusion, and then tried other locations. He could easily pass through the buildings above the town. He could also go deep into the ground farther away from here, but as long as he came to the place where Feng did not know where to dig, he could not
Dive through the soil.
The shadow didn't feel any obstruction, but it just couldn't get through.
"Why can't I go through? There is obviously no obstacle."
Shadow kept trying. He even floated high into the sky and sprinted downwards. However, whenever he landed near the hole dug by Feng Zhishi and Pei Chao, he stopped inexplicably.
"Why can't I get through?"
Shadow asked Feng Zhizhi blankly.
Feng Zhidao thought for a while and said: "There is no external obstacle to you. It seems that it is you who is hindering yourself. You should have some psychological diseases and may have suffered some stimulation.
Combined with your amnesia, I guess you don’t actually have amnesia, but you just don’t want to think about that past.
Theoretically, some psychological counseling for you should be able to alleviate your symptoms.
However, this should take a long time, so it is better to dig directly, which will take about three hours.
There is no breaking or establishing, there are some things you should always face."
Following Feng Zhizi's words, Shadow was stunned again.
Because Feng didn't know what he was doing these days, he was stunned many times, but only this time it was about himself.
Shadow quickly came back to his senses and said: "You better stop digging and wait a moment. I think... I may not be mentally prepared yet."
Feng Zhi didn't pause in his movements. He quickly collected the loose soil into the wooden basket and threw it up. Pei Chao above poured out the soil and dropped the wooden basket.
Feng Shizi said while digging: "The time has been planned.
Normal excavation takes about 3 hours, but some unexpected situations may occur during the excavation process, which will delay some time.
So it only takes 4 to 5 hours, and it will be dark by then, just in time to capture the tiger man.
If everything goes well, you should be able to appear in the dark at that time and join us in the capture of the Khajiit, and you will be responsible for the investigation."
"you……"
The shadow looked at Feng Wuzhi with a resentful face, but Feng Wuzhi was not moved at all.
The tunnel was dug deeper and deeper. When it reached five meters deep, the shadow seemed to remember something and covered his head in pain. It seemed that just as Feng Shishi said, there was something underground that he didn't want to recall.
After that, the shadow began to shut itself off.
He covered his head and squatted near the ground motionless, his body shaking slightly from time to time.
It wasn't until Feng Wuzhi dug to a depth of 18 meters that the shadow stopped closing in and suddenly rushed to Feng Wuzhi's location.
The shadow sternly stopped him: "No, you can't dig down anymore, it's too dangerous there!"
Feng didn't know: "It seems that you have already remembered?"
Shadow said: "I remembered part of it. I always thought that I was a human being. For some reasons, I became what I am now. But I am actually not a pure human being. I am a fusion of a human's incomplete soul and a strange object.
Something that was born after that.”
Feng didn't know: "So, what is buried below is a strange item? And you are a being similar to an artifact spirit?"
"To be precise, I am part of the weapon spirit. It has been devouring me over the years, so I have become weaker and weaker. It may not be long before I disappear completely."
Shadow said, showing a somewhat miserable smile.
The shadow continued: "That weapon is too dangerous for you now. You will be controlled by it. It will swallow up your consciousness, then dominate your body and turn you into a weird monster."
"I admit that your talent is very good, and you may achieve brilliant achievements in the future, but it is too early for you to use this weapon now."
"Even if it's not for yourself, you have to think about it for the sake of the humans in this town. If you are controlled by that weapon, it will be a disaster for the humans in this town."
"you……"
Shadow's words stopped, and he quickly floated in front of Feng Zhizhi and tried to stop him, but it was of no use.
Feng Zhizhi's digging speed suddenly accelerated. Because there were only the last two meters left, he did not continue to put the soil in the wooden basket, but continued digging, directly submerging his body into the soil below.
Amidst the constant obstruction and exclamations from the shadows, Feng Zhi grasped the hilt of the sword and took out a red-black long sword.
This is a long sword with a strange shape. It is not made of metal. The sword body is very light and has a fine hexagonal scale pattern on it. The tip of the sword is conical, giving people a needle-pricking feeling.
For a moment, Feng Zhi felt a harsh and sharp sound in his mind, the sword in his hand trembled violently, and at the same time, a strong tingling sensation appeared in the center of his palm.
His right hand holding the sword had been dyed dark red at some point. The dark red color continued to spread upwards, and soon, some dark red hexagonal scales appeared on his arm.
"Let go, it's not too late to let go now, you will be swallowed by this sword! You..."
Shadow wanted to continue to persuade, but was interrupted by Feng Zhishi.
Feng Zhizhi waved the long sword in his hand gently and said: "No, I will not be swallowed by it. Your character and will may be stronger than Pei Chao, but there is still a big gap between you and me."
"This sword can't even swallow your consciousness, so how can it possibly swallow me?"
As he spoke, Feng Zhizhi's right arm suddenly swelled. He broke the shackles of his right arm, and the red light path continued to flow on the skin of his right arm.
While the magic sword was eroding his body, he directly absorbed the strange things that were eroding him into his body as nutrients, and used them to temper the strange things in his skin...
