There were several corpses lying there, all of them had become haggard due to the erosion of time. However, due to the special environment here, although they had turned into mummies, their faces were still well preserved. They were still wearing the armor of Xiqi warriors.
There is also a saber hanging on it.
Among these corpses, there is one corpse that is the most frightening. His body is the most well-preserved, especially his face and facial features. There is no damage. You can still vaguely see the delicate and upright appearance of the past.
And the corpse was wearing a complete set of armor. There was a long incision on the chest with a broad knife stuck in it. The corpse's hands were resting on the hilt of the sword. It was obvious that he committed suicide without hesitation.
As for the face of the corpse, Chen Zhi recognized it at a glance. It was exactly Asuo's face in the past...
After Asuo was rescued from Fengdu Ghost City, his skin never returned to normal, even with the elixir. His skin was always transparent, just like a layer of plastic film.
Seeing the internal organs and blood circulation inside made Asuo look scary, so from then on, he kept bandages all over his body, not even showing his face.
But Chen Zhi had heard that Asuo was a pretty handsome warrior when he was young, known for his handsomeness and free spirit. Chen Zhi had also seen some of his past photos. The young man in the photos had a clear face and a calm smile.
But now, the face in the photo is really sitting in the corner, but the muscles of that face are sunken and the skin is gray and black, and it is already a mummy.
"How is this going……",
Chen Zhi asked Bai Ke softly,
"Is it rebirth? Is the dead reborn? Or..., or has Asuo always been a ghost?
No, that’s not right! He does have a heartbeat, so what exactly?
Everything here is so illogical?"
"What logic?",
Bai Ke smiled coldly,
"Who told you that this world is logical?
Human?
Those so-called scholars among humans?
That is your human worldview. You humans are too materialistic and materialistic!
Sometimes, you should think about problems with idealistic thinking, so that everything can be figured out!"
Asuo stood there in a daze, speechless. The moment he saw the corpse, he completely lost his mind.
The blood was flowing rapidly in his transparent skin, and his heart was beating extremely fast, as if it was about to explode. His eyes were staring straight at the corpse in front of him, as if he had been possessed.
"Asuo, haven't you ever felt strange?",
Ji Lie looked at Asuo with his gray eyes, as if looking at a dead soul.
"Look at yourself!
Look at your transparent skin, how did you become like this? Do you really believe the stories you made up? Do you believe those self-deceiving stories?
You persistently chose to commit suicide, but what did you get in exchange for it? Honor?"
Ji Lie's voice was as cold as the frozen water on the top of a snow mountain, without any emotion at all.
"In this life, we have been through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and we have been born and died, and we never know what it means to retreat?
What is it all for in the end?
Is it just to become what you are now?
Asuo, ask yourself, do you know who you are now? Are you still a living person?
What kind of honor and shame can a person who doesn't even know who he is have?
Stop asking me questions, Asuo!
Remember, only when a person is alive can he be qualified to speak..."
Ji Lie's voice was deep and sinister, as if it was coming from the underworld.
But Asuo was obviously helpless in front of him.
He staggered forward, passed Ji Lie, and finally came to the pile of corpses.
He knelt down on one knee, tremblingly touching his once delicate face and his withered body with trembling hands. Tears flowed down involuntarily.
"Asuo!
What are you doing?
Calm down!",
Chen Zhi shouted loudly from behind, but Asuo could no longer hear anything at this moment.
After Asuo walked to the corner, he curled up and lay down next to the corpse. He looked sideways at the long knife wound on the corpse's chest and the broad knife inserted into the ribs. Apart from crying silently,
,nothing left.
"He is no longer useful!",
Bai Ke said quickly:
"We can only rely on ourselves now, Chen Zhi, please remember, no matter what the circumstances, you cannot use a large number of super-level spells, otherwise once he wakes up, we will be attacked from both sides, and then we will never have a chance to win!"
"Give me some more time!",
Chen Zhi squeezed the glowing air current in his hand and said urgently:
"Ji Ying is not dead. She is on her way here now. She is in very good condition and can assist us. As long as she gives me a little time..."
"Whoosh——",
However, before Chen Zhi could finish his words, he suddenly felt a breeze blowing.
When Chen Zhi raised his eyes and looked ahead, Ji Lie had already appeared in front of him, and his cold long knife was already aimed at Chen Zhi's eyebrows.
Ji Lie's wrists were black, just like those black warriors, and the smell of death and sulfur on his body made people's brains ache!
Chen Zhi saw that Ji Lie still had the red wristband on his wrist, but he had pushed the wristband into his cuffs so that it could not be seen from the outside.
"how?
Haven’t you torn this thing off yet?”,
Chen Zhi coldly looked at the wristband on Ji Lie's wrist and smiled contemptuously:
"It seems that the shackles of the past are not so easy to get rid of!
You just said it so casually, as if you didn't care about anything anymore, but why do you still keep this wristband?
Do you think you still deserve to wear it?
The traitor of Xiqi!",
Ji Lie listened to Chen Zhi's words silently without any rebuttal, but when he heard the word traitor, his eyebrows moved slightly.
At the same time, his long knife slid up in the wind, and Chen Zhi suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and then heard a "clang".
Baike's deer knife flew out and pushed away Ji Lie's long knife.
Ji Lie then slowly turned his head and looked at Bai Ke. After staring at him for about two seconds with his gray-white eyes, he flicked his right hand and drew a semicircle with the long knife in the air. The pen stood straight between his eyebrows and gently
He raised his eyebrows at Bai Ke, and then veins suddenly jumped on his forehead.
"Young things!"
Ji Lie then disappeared in a flash, and Baike disappeared as well. Only the sound of their weapons clashing with each other was heard, and they hit each other, sparking a ball of sword light. However, the next second, the two people were separated.
.
After the two people separated, they no longer attacked each other. Instead, they both raised their necks and looked upward.
"Looks like we have help",
Baike smiled faintly, put the deer knife back, and stood next to Chen Zhi again.
At this moment, Chen Zhi saw a young man jumping down from the darkness above. His movements were very light and light, just like a falling leaf, making no sound at all.
He held a silver-white long knife in his hand and looked at Ji Lie with a solemn expression.
"Father, consider this the only request in my life.
Please tell me what is the reason that made you become a traitor!"
