He Yiming stretched out his hand and scooped up the round bead.
The bead was not big, and it was as light as a feather in his hand. However, in the hands of a martial dao master like He Yiming, he could clearly sense the terrifying power contained in it.
He frowned slightly as he was puzzled by the fact that such a huge power could be gathered in a small blood bead.
After hesitating for a while, He Yiming carefully sent a wisp of essential energy into the blood bead. He wanted to search and see if he could discover the secret hidden in the blood bead.
In the next moment, He Yiming's body trembled slightly, and his face turned slightly pale.
The moment his essential energy entered the blood bead, his spiritual consciousness was connected to it at the same time. It was like the first time he came into contact with the black fog, and he had a feeling of helplessness.
In front of him was an endless blood-red light, as if the whole world was covered by the blood-red color.
He seemed to hear a strange beating sound in his ears. After thinking carefully, he suddenly realized that the sound was similar to the sound of a heartbeat.
At this point, He Yiming's face finally changed. 'Is this blood bead some kind of special life form?'
He shuddered and immediately became clear-headed.
Looking at the tiny blood bead in his hand, He Yiming shuddered.
His heart skipped a beat as he thought of the various abilities that Hundred and Eight had displayed. He handed the item over and said, "Brother Hundred, can you see the use of this thing?"
108 held the blood bead in his hand, and his eyes immediately lit up. Even in the black fog, they were as dazzling as a light bulb. Then, a bright light swept across the blood bead. After a few times, the eyes of the one hundred and eight dimmed again.
"This is a newly discovered life form." 108's voice was as steady as ever.
He Yiming frowned and asked, "What life form?"
108 glanced at He Yiming. His gaze seemed to be asking, "How can you not know such a simple question?"
He Yiming felt ashamed in his heart. He cupped his fists and bowed with a smile on his face.
108 shook his head and said, "This is something that grew out of the body of some kind of creature. This blood bead contains all the life energy of that creature when it was alive. Even all the potential of that creature has been brought out and condensed within it."
He Yiming thought about the behavior of those crazy people and the one-hour time limit. He vaguely understood what 108 meant.
He asked in a deep voice, "Now that we have it, can you deduce its use?"
"Yes." 108 said straightforwardly, "As long as I have the real thing in hand, I can research its origin and use."
"That's great." He Yiming's eyes sparkled. "Hurry up and study it."
108 nodded slightly and turned to leave.
He Yiming was slightly startled. He quickly followed with Baozhu in his arms and asked, "Brother Bai, where are you going?"
"Back."
"Go back?" He Yiming asked inexplicably, "Go back where?"
"Hohhot Mountain Range."
He Yiming staggered and almost fell to the ground. Black lines appeared on his face. He said, "Brother Bai, don't joke around."
108 actually wanted to return to the cave in the northwest where they had set off from.
If he really wanted to make a round trip, who knew how long it would take. In short, He Yiming absolutely could not tolerate this time.
108 stopped and said, "I'm not joking." His expression was abnormally serious.
He Yiming opened his mouth and said, "Why do we have to go back?"
"You want me to research the origin, combination, and use of this thing. I have to use some instruments to analyze and simulate."
He Yiming suddenly understood. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he snatched the blood bead from 108's hand. He said, "Brother Bai, thank you for your kindness. But I think it's better for me to slowly explore this thing."
108 spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.
He Yiming was suspicious. He said, "Brother Bai, who did you learn these movements from?"
"You." 108 replied straightforwardly.
He Yiming was suddenly speechless. But in his heart, he was quite proud. Even 108 began to imitate him. It seemed that he had made great progress in the past few years.
He Yiming took out the silver ring and opened it. He took out an empty jade bottle and carefully put the blood bead in it. Then, he put the jade bottle and the scaly whip he had harvested into the space. Having this portable space brought great convenience to He Yiming.
He Yiming went back to the distance and dug a deep hole to bury the crazy man who had died.
He knew that the best way was to be like Hao Xue and the others and melt the corpse. That was the real way to destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces of future trouble.
However, He Yiming didn't have that kind of strange medicine, nor did he have such a strong heart. In the end, he let the man rest in peace.
This time, he didn't run around the mountain with 108 to track them down. This was because 108 had completely grasped the whereabouts of the three people.
After these three experiences, He Yiming had already realized that although the three of them had sinister intentions, they had chosen experts in the Three Flower Realm when they made their moves. Among the people He Yiming knew, they were basically all outstanding geniuses whose strength had reached the Tripod Realm.
Since that was the case, He Yiming didn't intend to continue to intervene.
After all, the three of them were not to be trifled with, and the forces behind them were also not to be trifled with. He Yiming wasn't that compassionate to the point of forming such an irreconcilable grudge for those people he didn't know.
He took 108 in the opposite direction and came to a quiet place. Then, he let 108 begin to guard him while he began to absorb the nearby Qi of Heaven and Earth, trying to improve his own strength as much as possible.

An ordinary person wouldn't be able to feel the passage of time in such an environment. However, when one's martial arts cultivation reached He Yiming's level, they could roughly estimate the time they had entered the black fog through the physiological changes in their bodies.
Otherwise, if they stayed here for more than a month and were invaded by the evil Yin Qi, they would cry but have no tears.
Just like that, another seven days passed.
During these seven days, He Yiming had absorbed a large amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth, but compared to the weight of the black fog here, it was still a drop in the ocean and not worth mentioning.
However, no matter what method He Yiming used during these seven days, he sadly found that he was still unable to concentrate all his energy.
Every time he wanted to cast aside all thoughts, the image of those lunatics would involuntarily flash through his mind. In particular, the moment when those people died, the complicated look in their eyes was even more unforgettable.
That kind of look with a hint of relief and reluctance to part with life deeply touched He Yiming's heart.
He tried to erase this image from his mind several times, but the effect wasn't very good. Every time this gaze appeared in his mind, he would feel a faint sense of guilt in his heart, and this feeling seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.
Even though he clearly knew that it wasn't his fault, the feeling was like weeds in spring, rushing straight up and couldn't be suppressed at all.
However, he also understood that once Hao Xue and the other two found out that he was spying on them, it would definitely be a fight to the death, and he might not be able to have the last laugh in this battle.
In a trance, another shrill cry was heard from afar.
He Yiming's facial muscles twitched faintly, and his heart sank even more.
The sixth one …
During these seven days, there were already more than ten people who couldn't withstand the evil Yin Qi's pressure and went crazy.
When these people just went crazy, they could not help but let out their final shrieks out of despair. However, only He Yiming could distinguish the subtle differences in these shrieks.
From these shrieks, He Yiming could easily distinguish whether those people couldn't withstand the pressure themselves, or were plotted against by Hao Xue and the other two.
During these seven days, Hao Xue and the other two did not make a move frequently. Until now, it was only the sixth time they made a move.
Perhaps this frequency was the real reason why they were not noticed by others.
He Yiming took a deep breath, and unknowingly clenched his fists.
Two completely opposite thoughts confronted and fought in his mind, causing him to feel as if he was at a loss of what to do.
After a long time, he raised his head, and seemed to see a pair of pitch-black eyes in his eyes.
It was a pair of completely unfamiliar eyes, but the expression that was revealed in this pair of eyes at the last moment was so shocking.
It was the relief of being freed from life, and also the reluctance to part with the world …
Slowly, He Yiming let out a long sigh. He finally realized that he could not be like those century-old people who could turn a blind eye to things that had nothing to do with their own interests, even if it was a matter of life and death.
He knew that his choice might seem so stupid and inconceivable in the eyes of many people.
However, he still made this choice …
He took out the silver ring, opened the magical space, and took out a pair of shoes and a set of black tights.
His body trembled, and immediately shrunk a size, including his skin and bones.
He tiptoed and changed his shoes and clothes. Then, he gently stroked his face with his hand. After a while, his face changed slightly. Although there was no ugly appearance with a crooked nose and slanted eyes, even if his parents were standing in front of him, they would not be able to recognize that this was He Yiming.
Then, he took off the leather bag under his armpit and stuffed the clothes he carried with him into the space.
"You've decided?" 108's voice came from not far away.
He Yiming didn't say anything, but his actions revealed his intentions.
He Yiming's body stiffened slightly. He said in a deep voice, "Yes, I've decided."
"The forces behind the three of them are very strong. Don't you regret it?"
"I do regret it." He Yiming looked into the distance. Ling Ran said, "I regret not stopping them earlier."
He arrived in front of 108 and stretched out a hand.
Hundred and Eight looked at him quietly and finally stretched out one of his arms.
With a flash of cold light, a strangely shaped and sharp cross sword appeared in He Yiming's hand … (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
