Fu Heng's scolding from below did not cause any ripples in Lin Qian's heart, nor would he be softhearted.
This was because Lin Qian knew that if Fu Heng's previous plan had succeeded, his methods would have been even dirtier.
The experience on Prison Island had sufficiently made Lin Qian understand that in this world, one could be kind. But when dealing with enemies, one must not tolerate the slightest bit of kindness.
As time passed, the sky became darker. Lin Qian and the others on the top floor of the library. They could not help but feel a little nervous.
At this time, the so-called corpses were probably going to start moving.
"Everyone, be alert. We don't know where these so-called corpses will come from." Lin Qian turned around and warned everyone, "Maybe, in this library we are in, there will suddenly be corpses that can move."
Lin Qian's words made everyone swallow their saliva and pay attention to their surroundings.
At the top of the library, Ye Xin leaned against Lin Qian without a trace.
Ye Xin's little action naturally could not be hidden from Lin Qian, which made him smile quietly in his heart, "She is a girl after all."
Thinking in his heart, Lin Qian took the initiative to reach out and held Ye Xin's soft little hand in his palm.
Ye Xin was originally afraid of the unknown corpses, but because of Lin Qian's sudden action, she felt a lot more at ease. She secretly looked up at him and happened to meet his smiling eyes.
Ye Xin, who was discovered peeping, blushed and hurriedly lowered her head.
Lin Qian chuckled, grabbed Ye Xin's little hand, and continued to look down.
The small sun in the small world had disappeared, and the dusk had also passed. Instead, it was replaced by the bright moonlight, illuminating the ruins.
With the help of the moonlight, Lin Qian could clearly see that the mist that had gathered around the ruins had suddenly taken on a shape and was being retracted.
Moreover, Lin Qian discovered that the direction in which the white mist was gathering was the scattered dead trees in the ruins.
After passing through the withered forest, there were also withered trees among the buildings in the ruins. They were much larger than the ones in the withered forest, but there were not many of them.
The white mist that covered the ruins like a thin veil had actually seeped into the withered trees, as if it was being sucked back by the withered trees.
Seeing this, Lin Qian came to a sudden realization.
It turned out that the thick fog came from the bodies of these withered trees.
During the day, these withered trees would release this white mist, and when night fell, the white mist would be absorbed back into their bodies.
At this point, Lin Qian finally understood why the white fog in the withered forest was so thick, but in the vicinity of the ruins, it was barely visible and did not have much of an effect.
It turned out that the source of the white fog was actually these withered trees.
There were many withered trees in the withered forest, which was why the white fog they produced was so thick. In the ruins, there were very few withered trees, so the white fog they produced was naturally almost non-existent.
Since Lin Qian had figured this out, the others were not stupid, so they could naturally figure out the reason as well.
"It seems like these withered trees are very similar to spiritual trees, but they are completely opposite," Ye Xin suddenly said after also observing for a while.
Lin Qian and the others also nodded as if they had understood something.
Spiritual trees were special trees cultivated by alchemists. Under the stimulation of sunlight, they could absorb nutrients and emit spiritual energy.
In the territories of the major forces in Linhai Province, such spiritual trees would be planted.
For example, in the Myriad Phenomenon Sect's competition grounds and the dense forests where the disciples lived, these spiritual trees were planted, thus increasing the density of the spiritual energy in the sect.
"If these withered trees were originally spiritual trees, then they had only become like this after experiencing a great change. During the day, spiritual energy was originally produced, but now it has produced this bewitching white fog instead," Lin Qian suddenly said.
Lin Qian's words caused everyone to be shocked. If this was really the case, then what had happened to this ancient sect in the past to actually cause spiritual trees to turn into such withered trees?
Just as they were feeling bewildered, there was movement from Fu Heng's side below.
Under the shocked gazes of Lin Qian and the others, they saw with their own eyes that the withered trees in the ruins suddenly tremble.
The soil where the withered trees had taken root moved, and suddenly, a black hole appeared.
Moments later, a deathly pale hand suddenly reached out from the pitch-black hole and grabbed the edge of the hole. The owner of the deathly pale hand also climbed out from the hole.
The thing that crawled out of the hole under the withered tree looked like a human, but in fact, it was not.
These were the so-called corpses that crawled out of the hole. Their skin was pale, their hair was disheveled, and their faces were dirty. Dark green flames flickered in their dark eye sockets, and their bodies were covered in tattered clothes.
From these corpses, Lin Qian could only sense a fierce hostility, without the slightest trace of vitality. Obviously, these were the corpses that could move.
What was even more strange was that these corpses' bodies did not decay at all. Instead, under the moonlight, their pale skin actually shone with a metallic luster.
"Lin Qian, let go of me, let go of me, or else I will not let you off even if I become a ghost!"
Lin Qian and the others in the library could see clearly, so how could Fu Heng not?
Such a strange situation naturally made him scream in horror.
On the top floor of the library, Lin Qian watched this scene through the window and nodded slightly. "As you wish."
As Lin Qian's voice fell, he waved his hand downwards from the window. The golden ropes automatically loosened and fell from Fu Heng's body to the ground.
"Give me a high-grade recovery pill," said Lin Qian as he stretched out his hand to Lei Qian.
Lei Qian took out a jade bottle without hesitation and handed it to Lin Qian in front of him.
After pouring out a pill from the bottle, Lin Qian returned it to Lei Qian and smiled as he tossed it towards Fu Heng through the window. "This is a high-grade pill, eat it."
Lin Qian's action stunned Ye Xin and the others. Ding Zhirong was even more puzzled. "Didn't you want him to die? Why did you let him go and give him a pill to recover?"
At this moment, after Fu Heng took the pill and swallowed it, he felt everything in his body rapidly recovering. He raised his head and roared at Lin Qian, "Lin Qian, are you muddle-headed? Hahaha … "
After saying that, Fu Heng grinned as he equipped himself with an elemental weapon and looked at the approaching corpses.
On the top floor of the library, Lin Qian only smiled and pointed at Fu Heng below. "If I don't let him recover, how will I know the strength of these corpses and what characteristics they have?"
"If I don't compare him to a monster like you, Fu Heng's strength is second to none in the Nirvana Realm in Linhai Province. I'm afraid that these seven or eight corpses won't be able to stop him and will let him escape." Li Letian touched his chin as he watched Fu Heng's soul power continue to increase.
Lin Qian shook his head. "He won't be able to escape. Have you forgotten about the withered forest?"
"The white fog in the withered forest has disappeared at night. It shouldn't be difficult to leave, right?" Wang Lanxin said.
"You've just seen the truth and you've already forgotten? The withered forest at night is probably more terrifying than during the day, "Lin Qian said with a smile.
Lin Qian's words made everyone react.
