Chapter 269: Life and Death

At nightfall, Gao Jing returned to the wooden house.

A house that belongs to him.

It has been a long time since Gao Jing left the mountain village. The wooden house built in the innermost part of the valley is still intact. Not a single weed can be seen on the path in front of the door, and the room is clean.

On the wooden table next to the bed, there was a bouquet of wild flowers in a strange-looking pottery vase.

Apparently someone was taking care of the house regularly while he was away, otherwise it wouldn't be so tidy.

Gao Jing jumped up on the table and lay down on the rosewood bed specially customized for him.

Looking up at the high roof, he felt extremely relaxed and safe.

Although this wooden house is far less spacious and luxurious than the house in Qinghe City and the villa in Heishui City, only here, in this home, can Gao Jing feel like this.

I hope tomorrow’s ceremony will be a success!

He thought silently.

He touched the copper anchor on his chest again.

The body of the viper has been stored back in the storage space and will be used for the ritual of fusing the beast soul tomorrow morning.

The old wizard Shan Yan told Gao Jing that there are certain dangers in fusing animal souls, especially when the object of fusion is an ancient alien species like an adder.

It was his first time to hold such a ceremony for the Yuan people, so there was no guarantee of 100% success.

Likewise, the absolute safety of Gaojing cannot be guaranteed.

Once the ritual of fusing the beast soul begins, it cannot be forcibly interrupted, otherwise big problems will definitely occur.

So the outcome can only depend on Gao Jing's own luck.

But Gao Jing did not hesitate.

Although he could choose a weak monster to fuse with, there is no monster in this world that is more suitable for him than the viper.

You only have one chance, how can you miss it?

Squeak~

While Gao Jing was thinking, the door to the room was pushed open, and Shan Guoer's head poked in: "Gao Jing?"

Gao Jing immediately turned over and sat up, smiled and said, "Here he is."

"I'm coming!"

The little girl immediately ran in happily and threw herself on the big bed next to her.

Woof!

Ah Huang jumped on the bed after her, and both heads were in front of Gao Jing.

Just like before.

Looking at the girl and dog head in front of him, Gao Jing felt happy and peaceful, and the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart were gone!

At Shan Guoer's request, he told the little girl several stories.

Or a story about knights, princesses and dragons!

Although these stories were made up by Gao Jing himself, Shan Guoer listened to them with great interest while licking the lollipop and hugging Ah Huang's neck. After hearing each one, he still wanted to listen to them again.

Gao Jing didn't feel the slightest bit impatient.

Because there won’t be many such warm moments in the future.

Until late at night.

As before, Shan Guoer slept on the big bed, Gao Jing slept on the small bed, and Ah Huang lay under the table.

That night, he slept particularly soundly.

At this early morning, when the little girl was still sleeping soundly while holding her bear doll, Gao Jing quietly got up and left the house. After a simple wash outside, he came to the wizard's wooden house in high spirits.

The mountains and rocks are already waiting for him.

Seeing Gao Jing, the old wizard asked in a deep voice: "Have you decided?"

Gao Jing nodded vigorously: "It's decided!"

"good."

Shan Yan said simply: "Stand here and take out the viper."

Gao Jing stood at the place designated by the old wizard, and at the same time took out the snake's body again from the storage space.

He took off his armor and put all the equipment except the copper anchor into the storage space.

Waiting for the start of the beast soul fusion ceremony!

At Gao Jing's feet, there was a witchcraft formation for holding ceremonies. The old wizard Shanyan formed a seven- to eight-meter-long adder in three circles around Gao Jing, with the snake's head raised to face his face.

Shan Yan closed the door and raised his staff in front of the witch formation.

"here we go."

He whispered, his dry lips moved, and he murmured an obscure incantation.

The voice seemed to come from ancient times, with indescribable depth and mystery, and had some indescribable resonance with the surrounding world.

An invisible wave of breath came out of the old wizard's body and slowly spread out in all directions, creating a strange resonance with the witch formation at Gao Jing's feet.

Beams of white light rose from the ground to the sky, and countless totem symbols appeared in the sky.

Rotate around the high scenery and the adder!

Roar~

With a low roar, a small adder appeared above the snake's head.

Its size is only twenty or thirty centimeters, its scales and armor are lifelike, its eyes wide open and it roars unwillingly.

Viper spirit!

Under the control of an invisible force, this translucent beast soul soared into the air, and its size gradually increased during the struggle.

Until it is level with Gao Jing.

Gao Jing's eyes met with the viper spirit's eyes, and the latter's eyes showed an extremely complicated look.

Anger, despair, pain, resentment, and a little bit of relief!

The next second, it pounced towards Gao Jing.

Instantly blend into Gao Jing's body!

Even though Gao Jing was prepared, he still groaned and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Relying on the old wizard Shan Yan's previous instructions, he immediately activated the power of the totem and activated the giant spirit totem on his back.

Gao Jing's body suddenly expanded in a large circle, his bones made a crisp cracking sound, and he jumped up and down, and in the blink of an eye he transformed into a little giant seven or eight meters tall!

His strength and physique were greatly enhanced.

But the viper spirit that had just integrated into his body still caused Gao Jing great pain.

He felt like his whole body was being placed in a huge millstone, and every inch of muscle and bone was ground into pieces. The power in his body was filled to the extreme, and he was close to the edge of explosion.

This kind of pain is simply not something that ordinary people can bear. Gao Jing relied entirely on his strong perseverance and the will of his soul that has been cultivated to the realm of the Triple Mountain to survive the most difficult moment.

Under normal circumstances, as long as he withstands the backlash of the viper spirit, he can successfully fuse the beast soul.

Become a true totem warrior!

And just when Gao Jing thought he was going to survive the difficulty, a sudden change occurred beneath his feet.

The surrounding vipers suddenly burst into red flames and spiraled up, entangling Gao Jing inside!

It was extremely fast, and Gao Jing was fighting against the viper spirit in his body. As a result, he realized that something was wrong and he had no time to dodge. He was entangled and unable to move!

This scene also surprised the rocks outside the magic circle.

He has performed many experiences for others to fuse the consciousness of beast souls, and has never seen a monster corpse come back to life.

The most important thing is that Gao Jing's fusion of the beast soul has reached the most critical moment, and there is no room for him to interfere.

So the old wizard could only watch helplessly, silently praying to the mountain ancestors to protect Gao Jing.

Able to get through this life and death barrier!
