The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 798 - 325: Cemetery Area_2

But its size was too large, and the spatial storage artifacts he carried could not all be used to store the body, necessitating other contingency measures.

For this reason, Ye Hanjun stripped away the useless steel armor fragments to lighten the load.

He then chopped down the trees spawned by the Nether Wood Fish to create a simple raft, preparing for the Chimera cubs to pull it back.

Half a day of busyness finally finished all the tasks at hand.

Ye Hanjun brushed the dust from his hands and cleaned his body with GuaGua’s Water Gun.

"This meat should be enough to feed us for half a year."

"If we were to feed it to cockroaches, we could hatch dozens of nests. The total number of our cockroach army would exceed ten thousand..."

Ye Hanjun gracefully landed on the sheep head, patted the snake head behind him, and got ready to set off.

The lion head, which had been forcibly awakened, had learned its lesson this time.

It didn’t waste any time and started to sprint, with only one thought in mind: hurry back to the thatched cottage and go to sleep.

...

"Old man, open the door! Open the door!"

After half a day of relentless travel, the thatched cottage came into sight.

From a distance, GuaGua started shouting first, full of excitement and eager anticipation.

Hearing the commotion, Ye Yin opened the door and listened closely, his weathered face soon showing signs of surprise and confusion.

"What did you catch to be so happy?"

"We caught the King Fish that was after you!"

GuaGua was ecstatic, wishing it could act as Ye Yin’s missing eyes so that he could see their catch for himself.

"Old man, the fish is huge! To take care of it, xiaolan, Xiaoqi, and Xiaoxiong all went through a lot of trouble!"

"Let’s have fish soup tonight. You eat, and I’ll do the cooking. It’s about time I learned some Chef skills!"

...

Ye Yin, trying to process the information, stood dumbfounded for a while, his lips moving several times without producing any sound.

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, but at this moment, even without the irises shimmering with color, his eyebrows, nose, mouth, and ears all betrayed the bizarre feelings in his heart.

Living here for so long, he had depended on fishing in the Void for the most important source of food and treasures.

But the King Fish that he feared the most and wished never to encounter had turned into a cold carcass overnight, a result that was truly unexpected.

"Just one day and such an astonishing haul... The gap between us is clearly as wide as a chasm, impossible to cross."

"You’re getting closer to those three Young Emperors."

"I look forward to the day you surpass them and with Dual Authority, create a grand Chapter for the Ye Clan that spans 130,000 years..."

Ye Yin, mixed with emotions, felt desolate and proud, finally sighing deeply.

Only after personal experience can one know the dangers of this place.

Ye Hanjun’s growth was incredibly rapid, such a dazzling talent if hindered by Dual Authority, it would indeed make one sigh with regret.

To this, Ye Hanjun merely smiled nonchalantly.

He knew full well that he had borrowed the strength of the Chimera cubs.

This wasn’t a Contractual Relationship; it was power from an external source, not to be confused with his own potential.

The path he must travel was still long and difficult.

To conclude now that he will succeed was premature.

"Let’s rest for two days, then I’ll explore the cemetery area."

"If we can find the deeper parts of Nether sooner, we can leave this place early and search for the next opportunity."

"Be careful of curses."

Ye Yin reminded him again, full of concern:

"I know you have Pure Beasts by your side and more means to Escape under Dominant State than me."

"But that place is extremely yin, extremely cold."

"With the accumulation of resentment, you either see no living beings, or the ones you do are kings of malice with incomprehensible levels of strength."

"Don’t worry, I will protect the Big tadpole!"

While cooking the soup, GuaGua chimed in absentmindedly:

"If it doesn’t work out, I’ll turn into a Giant Earthworm myself, sneak underground, shifty and stealthy, and no one will notice me as I quietly dig away the soil."

"Difficult."

Ye Yin shook his head, unable to agree.

If it were that easy, he wouldn’t have lost his eyes there, trapped in the agony of Blindness, enduring day and night.

"Come on, ’To every man there openeth a way, and ways, and a way.’ We’ll attend to tomorrow’s tasks tomorrow. Rest well these two days and don’t worry too much!"

"Old man, hurry up and try this. I cooked the soup myself. It smells pretty good to me; how many points would you give it?"

Ye Yin, taken aback, shakily received the bowl of soup from GuaGua.

Trusting GuaGua, he took a sip with a spoon. He hadn’t expected his pale face to turn a ghastly red, and he began coughing more than a dozen times, his nose suddenly bleeding uncontrollably.

"What... what did you add to this soup?"

"I added some herbs!"

GuaGua’s eyes sparkled, as if he had discovered treasure, and expectantly asked:

"Is it delicious? I thought about how weak you are and secretly added a seed of Dragon Chant Grass!"

"In addition, I also added Silver Blue Flowers, Wangwang Vine, Heartless Fruit, and Weak Mutual Flower... This is my own creation called the Hundred Flavors Nutrition Soup, and you’re the first one to try it, old man! Even the Big tadpole doesn’t get this treatment!"

"You... you’re harming me..."

Ye Yin’s fingers trembled as he pointed, and suddenly he fell backward onto the bed, spraying blood and unconscious.

"Huh?" GuaGua tilted its head, puzzled and bewildered.

Ye Hanjun, with three black lines on his forehead, rushed to check Ye Yin’s breath to make sure he was still alive, and then smacked the little fellow on the head.
