Chapter 1304: Evil Entity
The ancient house in front of us is dilapidated, entwined with vines, and the door is wide open, allowing those outside to glimpse the darkness inside.
Moreover, a ghostly atmosphere occasionally drifts out of the house, which is quite frightening.
After looking at it for a while, Lin Yifan also felt the house resembled a haunted house, eerie and terrifying.
However, he always believed there are no ghosts in this world; all ghosts are products of one's imagination.
So he responded, "There's no such thing as ghosts in this world, so don't scare yourself."
"Are we going in then?" Xiao Fang asked.
"Let's go in and see if we can find a peerless treasure!"
Lin Yifan rubbed his fists excitedly, without a hint of fear.
Du Yuze felt similarly to Xiao Fang, both were a bit scared. In fact, if Xiao Fang hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have deliberately observed this ancient house.
Now that he took a closer look, he also felt the house had issues, possibly housing zombies or the like.
What frightened him the most were zombies, with their black eyes, bluish faces, and long vampire-like teeth, it was too scary.
Lin Yifan took the lead, walking in front, while Xiao Fang and Du Yuze hesitated behind, unable to take a step.
As they continued, Lin Yifan suddenly felt something was wrong, because he didn't hear Xiao Fang and Du Yuze's footsteps, so he quickly turned back to look, and found Xiao Fang and Du Yuze still standing there, he couldn't help but shout angrily, "Why are you standing there stunned? Hurry up!"
"Boss, are we really going into this broken house?" Du Yuze asked.
"Now that we're here, is there a reason not to go in?"
Lin Yifan felt that Du Yuze's questions were nonsense, with such a great benefit right in front of them, who wouldn't seize it?
"But aren't you afraid a zombie might jump out from inside?"
"You've watched too many zombie movies; where would so many zombies come from in this world?"
In the blink of an eye, a raspy sigh suddenly came from behind him.
"Sha!"
Lin Yifan shuddered, trembling all over, very afraid.
Could it be that a zombie really appeared?
He couldn't believe it was true, so he slowly turned his head to look forward.
He saw a black crow appear before him, looking at him malevolently, as if warning him that this was its territory, and he shouldn't come any closer.
"Aren't crows supposed to caw? How did it make a raspy sound?"
Lin Yifan was puzzled, feeling that this black crow in front of him was not the same species as the crows he knew.
Of course, this black crow was actually a Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak spirit beast, possessing extraordinary power.
Had it not been for considering Lin Yifan and his companions, it would have already acted.
Xiao Fang and Du Yuze also didn't notice when an empty eave had a large black crow appearing, really scaring them.
A house with a crow perched on it is usually very sinister, and they were extremely reluctant to enter.
However, Lin Yifan's view was the exact opposite of theirs.
The more sinister a place, the more precious treasures it held, so today, no matter who blocked his way, they were doomed.
He walked straight towards it, ignoring the black crow's warning.
Seeing this human so ungrateful, the black crow was furious and immediately used its specialty to attack Lin Yifan.
It sprayed a black gas, intending to use poison to kill Lin Yifan.
Smelling the strange odor coming at him, Lin Yifan suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately held his breath.
Besides, he didn't forget to remind Xiao Fang and Du Yuze, "This black gas is poisonous, hold your breath quickly."
Xiao Fang and Du Yuze were shocked and immediately followed Lin Yifan's instructions.
Although they reacted quickly, Lin Yifan still inhaled a small amount of the poisonous gas.
However, as soon as the poison entered his lungs, it was forcibly absorbed by the mysterious black bead, so his body wasn't harmed at all.
This phenomenon wasn't strange, because the "Serpent Spirit Qi" back then was absorbed by the black bead in the same way, so it was nothing new.
As for why the black bead absorbed the poison, Lin Yifan still didn't understand, not knowing why the black bead had such a function. In any case, the black bead was the most mysterious existence in this world, whose origins and destination were unknown.
Thinking of the black bead, Lin Yifan suddenly realized that he had become too reliant on it.
His so-called "genius cultivator" reputation was all thanks to the black bead. Without its ability to rapidly absorb spiritual energy, nor its capability to bypass the Great Dao, he couldn't have advanced realms so quickly.
"What if one day the black bead leaves me, what will I do?"
Upon pondering this question, Lin Yifan's scalp tingled; he hoped he was overthinking it, but he feared it might actually happen.
Considering these situations, he thought it was best to develop his dantian just in case, otherwise, without the black bead, he'd become an ordinary person.
The most urgent task was to deal with this black crow, so Lin Yifan unsheathed his sword, used the "Beixuan Sword Technique" at Immortal level martial arts, and turned passive into active, attacking the black crow.
The black crow never expected Lin Yifan to be unharmed. Even if Lin Yifan reacted quickly, he should have inhaled some poison, and its poison is the most venomous in the world, just a bit should be deadly; hence Lin Yifan should have died, with no ability to counterattack.
However, Lin Yifan was so bizarre, not only did he not die, but he actively attacked.
No matter what kind of monster Lin Yifan was, daring to trespass on its territory meant death, so the black crow kept spraying black poison gas, making the place filled with its poison,
It didn't believe Lin Yifan could hold out.
Notably, its poison gas could corrode skin, and anyone below the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak would be poisoned to death.
Lin Yifan was only at the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage, theoretically unable to withstand the black crow's poison gas corrosion, but fortunately, with the "Great Roc Holy Body" at Immortal level martial arts, he couldn't be killed unless by a True Master Realm expert.
The crow and the man fought wits and strength, to prevent Xiao Fang from being poisoned, Lin Yifan had to finish the fight quickly.
He had already felt the killing power of the black poison gas, so before the gas expanded, he killed the black crow in its infancy.
From afar, Du Yuze and Xiao Fang, watching the battle, could visibly see Lin Yifan's skin glow in spots, unsure if it was from their flashlight illuminating him or if something happened on Lin Yifan's body.
The reason they didn't understand this was that they hadn't been attacked by the poison gas and thus didn't know it had skin-corrosive properties.
The black crow flew exceptionally fast, aiming to use its poison gas for attack while constantly dodging; however, it was still taken down by Lin Yifan in a few moves.
