"Don't, wait a moment, just a moment …"
Huai Shi subconsciously reached out to grab something, but he was cruelly pulled away, as if an invisible rope was pulling him. In an instant, he swept past the bustling streets and the surging crowds, returning from the countless steel forests.
Pa!
A crisp sound!
In the cellar, a crack suddenly appeared in the wooden shell, and a vaguely vexed shout sounded from within.
Feeling the heavy restraints, Huai Shi subconsciously struggled.
At that moment, he finally felt himself.
At the same time, the huge network of roots that spread under the nine lands suddenly shook, and extracted an insignificant amount from the sea of life that was gathered from countless plants.
Thus, Huai Shi returned from nothingness.
The wooden shell cracked, revealing his pale face. Huai Shi subconsciously raised his hand and felt an almost endless amount of life force being transmitted from the roots, creating a new arm from nothingness. His five fingers spread open, and his fingernails slowly grew out.
He subconsciously breathed, and in an instant, the network of roots buried deep under the ground suddenly contracted and withered. Bright life force flowed out from within, creating a brand new lung and body.
Huai Shi took a step forward and heard the sound of countless roots rotting and contracting.
Amidst the continuous shattering sounds, the naked young man had already walked out from the withered trees. Behind him, the huge roots that once covered the entire city silently lost their color, cracked, and collapsed into rotten wood. In the end, they collapsed into dust.
Huai Shi stood in the darkness, stunned.
Tree sap with a faint green color slowly dripped from his waist-long black hair.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands and naked body, only to find that his pale skin, which had lost its color after becoming a ghost, had regained a faint rosy color. And just under his skin, in the rippling blood vessels, there was a thick dark green color.
He seemed to have regained his life.
He had returned from the Underworld.
Crow stood on the shelf in front of him, looking at the stunned youth, and smiled, "How do you feel?"
Huai Shi slowly raised his head, and two lines of tears fell from his face.
Then, he stretched out his hand, grabbed Crow's neck, and shook it angrily.
"I was so close!"
Huai Shi cried out in agony, "I almost f * cking saw it! Why didn't you wait a little longer! "
"It's not easy for everyone to live, please don't record anything in the Book of Destiny that will cause everyone to become 404, okay?"
Crow looked at him with disappointment, "Besides, you found your self-consciousness by peeping at a female classmate changing clothes, young man, you're really something! It's a loss for all mankind that Director Fu didn't collapse! "
"…"
Huai Shi was speechless, but … for some reason, when Crow mentioned Director Fu, he couldn't help but want to give the middle-aged man a thumbs up: Your daughter's body!
But if he said it out, he would die?
Well, they would be crushed into dregs by the steel torrent of guns, short cannons, tanks, and missiles of the Special Affairs Division …
He shook his head with some lingering fear and didn't dare to think about it anymore. Then, he turned to study his current body.
"Is this the second stage?"
He felt the surging vitality in his body and tried to move his body. He felt that the original upper limit of the Yin Soul had disappeared without a trace, and he could easily reach a high speed that he couldn't reach in the past.
His strength had also increased, although the increase in speed was probably far from it.
What surprised him even more was that his body coordination had improved qualitatively. Huai Shi tried to throw eight or nine beakers in the air in succession. When he stretched out his index finger, the falling beakers fell from the air into an extremely dangerous pile from his fingertips.
The exquisite combination of mechanics piled them up from the duckweed foundation into a tower.
When Huai Shi shook his fingertips slightly, he saw the waist of the tower begin to bend, and slowly rotate with the subtle tilt of his finger.
In the end, as Huai Shi let go of his hand, it fell to the ground.
It piled up into the shape of a pyramid.
Huai Shi still hadn't recovered from the shock.
In that moment just now, he almost felt that his limbs had spread over the beakers, and he could sensitively perceive the movement of every fulcrum and center of gravity. He could easily grasp the complicated changes in his hands.
What was more surprising was …
"Hey, catch."
The Crow's voice interrupted Huai Shi's thoughts, and a piece of iron was thrown into Huai Shi's hand. Huai Shi subconsciously reached out, but the moment his fingertips were about to touch the iron, he saw a blazing electric light burst from the iron.
From a thin line, it pierced towards Huai Shi's fingertips.
In an instant, Huai Shi pulled back his hand, but his fingertips still felt a burst of needle-like pain.
But what surprised him was that in that very short moment just now, he could almost see how the electric light burst from the iron grew inch by inch, slowly moving in the air, and finally wrapping around his fingertips.
Not just that.
His reaction speed … If it had been before, he probably wouldn't have been able to react in time, or even realize what was going on before he was hit.
But now, he actually had time to react.
Even compared to the speed of thunder, it was still so slow that it was close to nothing.
But going from nothing to something was still a major breakthrough.
"From the second level onwards, the soul of the Sublimator will begin to become active. After ignoring the natural limits of the body, the reaction speed will be greatly enhanced. Sublimators like you, who specialize in strengthening the nerve reflexes, will even directly advance to the level of soul reflexes. Isn't that great?"
Huai Shi curled his lips and shook his head. "I can't dodge even if I react, what's the use?"
"Are you stupid? You can't dodge a bullet, but can't you dodge someone pulling the trigger?"
The Crow looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. "In a duel, being faster by just a little bit is being faster. You're only at the second level, not the fifth level. Do you want to become the Flash or something?"
"Don't I still want to improve?"
Huai Shi slowly moved his body. Originally, he was a little afraid that he wouldn't be able to adapt to the sudden increase in attributes, but he didn't expect that his body didn't show any signs of losing control at all.
Soon, as he waved his hand, grass seeds quickly sprouted from the soil under his feet, which had been plowed by the broken tree trunks. In an instant, they grew into a green carpet as tall as his knees.
Huai Shi felt that this was far from his limit. If he tried his best, he could turn the grass on his entire football field into half a person's height.
It was just that that would cause him to fall into a weak state similar to blood loss.
Following his will, the countless branches and leaves in the thick grass quickly became sharp. From afar, they looked like clusters of small knives.
Although the specific lethality had yet to be developed, the Mountain Ghost's talent was unexpectedly cool.
Whether he was strong or not was a matter of a patch, but whether he was handsome or not was a matter of a lifetime.
Apart from the fact that he wasn't quite used to the green color, he was very satisfied with everything.
Very quickly, he noticed that his waist-length hair was still stained with sticky tree sap. It was wet, making it difficult for him to get used to it.
Huai Shi pulled out his sacrificial knife and wanted to cut it directly, but as he was cutting it, he discovered that the hair's toughness was unexpectedly strong. Even with the sharpness of his Origin Blade, Huai Shi still had to use a lot of force to cut it.
The severed hair fell to the ground, and as if it had taken root in the soil, it quickly expanded and grew, becoming a lush bramble.
"That works?"
Huai Shi's movements paused. Just as he was sighing in amazement, he discovered to his astonishment that the hair he had cut off had actually grown back!
It had returned to its original waist-length.
Not a hair more, not a hair less.
It was as if it had been fixed in place, stubbornly maintaining its current length. No matter how Huai Shi cut it, it wouldn't compromise. Huai Shi only resentfully put down the knife when he felt that the blood supply to his brain was insufficient and he was beginning to feel dizzy.
"Fine, it's this long … …"
On the bright side, at least he didn't have to go to the barbershop.
"Do you want to see your current appearance?"
Crow had a smile that made Huai Shi feel uneasy. He flapped his wings, and a water mirror appeared out of thin air. The light source that had been cut off above his head lit up again, illuminating Huai Shi's face.
Huai Shi was stunned in place.
It was as if he had been struck by lightning.
Benefiting from the replenishment and enhancement of a large amount of vitality, Huai Shi's originally malnourished and pale face also became a bit rosy. He was no longer gloomy, and it could be said that he had bid farewell to the cold and handsome Gothic cowherd style.
Although his essence was still mainly negative energy, at least he wouldn't be as dead as when he was at the original ghost stage, when he was suppressed by the light attribute's sacred mark.
But now, in the mirror, Huai Shi saw a nightmarish mirror image between his drooping black hair.
"This, this, this … …" He pointed sluggishly at the familiar face in the mirror, almost screaming, "Who is this sissy!"
"… …"
Crow looked at him with pity.
"… …"
Huai Shi stared blankly at the pair of sparkling eyes and the neutral oval face in the mirror, as well as the soft facial features. He subconsciously touched his crotch.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the thing is still there … …
When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but look at Crow. He took out his knife and axe with both hands, wondering how to stew this woman into a pot of black chicken soup.
"Don't, slow down … …"
Crow dodged back, "You see, I already said that most of the mountain ghosts are female. I reminded you, and you're not a sissy now, just a little bit more neutral … … Just treat it as if you've added a skin-grinding filter!
Besides, don't you think that you're more attractive to girls now? To be honest, it's not bad to change from a Gothic style to a J style! "
"Then why are you dodging?" Huai Shi asked gloomily, "Come here, I won't do anything to you … …"
"I'm not afraid of you doing anything to me. Anyway, I'm just a blob of ink, and I'm not afraid of being chopped by you."
With that, Crow shrank back a little more, looking cautious, "But you're poisonous now, equivalent to a walking source of infection in human form. I have to keep a distance no matter what."
"What the hell?"
Huai Shi looked down at his feet in astonishment.
In the grass that he had grown, a patch of colorful mushrooms had grown out without him noticing. The size of the mushrooms looked very pleasing, and he knew that they would taste good. It was very appetizing.
This was bad.
The Halo of Pestilence … … seemed to be unable to be turned off.
