Chapter 269: Life and Death
At nightfall, Gao Jing returned to the wooden house.
A house that belongs to him.
It's been a long time since Gao Jing left the mountain village, and the wooden house built in the innermost part of the valley is still intact, and there is not half a weed to be seen on the path in front of the door, and the room is clean.
On the wooden table next to the bed, a strangely shaped clay vase with a bouquet of wildflowers in it.
Apparently the house was being kept a lot of care when he was gone, otherwise it would not have been possible to keep it so tidy.
Gao Jing jumped onto the table and lay down on the rosewood bed that was specially customized for himself.
Looking up at the high roof, he felt incredibly relaxed and safe.
Although this wooden house is far less spacious and luxurious than the mansion in Qinghe City and the villa in Blackwater City, only here, in this home, does Gao Jing have such a feeling.
Hopefully tomorrow's ceremony will be a success!
He thought silently.
He touched the copper anchor on his chest again.
The snake corpse has been re-stored in the storage space, and will be used tomorrow morning for the ritual of merging the beast's soul.
The old wizard of Shanyan told Gao Jing that there was a certain danger in fusing the beast soul, especially since the object of fusion was still a desolate alien species like a snake.
It was the first time he had held such a ceremony for the people of the Yuanmin, and there was no guarantee of 100% success.
Nor can we guarantee the absolute safety of Gaojing.
Once the ritual of fusing the beast soul begins, it cannot be forcibly interrupted, otherwise there will definitely be a big problem.
So the result can only depend on Gao Jing's own luck.
But Gao Jing did not hesitate.
Of course, he could choose a weak demon beast to fuse, but in this world, there was no more suitable demon beast for him than a snake.
You only have one chance, so how can you miss the best?
Squeak~
Just as Gao Jing was thinking, the door of the room was pushed open, and Shan Guo'er's head poked in: "Gao Jing?"
Gao Jing immediately turned over and sat up, smiling, "It's here." ”
"I'm coming!"
The little girl immediately ran in happily and threw herself directly on the big bed next to her.
Woof!
Ah Huang followed her and jumped on the bed, and the two heads came together in front of Gao Jing.
As before.
Looking at the girl and the dog head in front of him, Gao Jing only felt happy and peaceful, and the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart were gone!
At the request of Shan Guoer, he told several stories to the little girl.
Or a story about knights, princesses, and dragons!
Although these stories were made up by Gao Jing himself, Shan Guo'er licked the lollipop and hugged Ah Huang's neck, listening to it with relish, and he had to listen to it again after listening to one.
Gao Jing didn't feel the slightest impatient.
Because of such warm times, there won't be many more in the future.
Until late at night.
As before, Shan Guo'er slept in a big bed, Gao Jing slept in a small bed, and Ah Huang lay under the table.
That night, he slept exceptionally soundly.
At this early morning, when the little girl was still asleep with her bear doll in her arms, Gao Jing quietly got up and left the house, and after a simple wash outside, he came to the wizard's wooden house in good spirits.
Mountain Rock was already waiting for him.
Seeing Gao Jing, the old wizard asked in a deep voice, "You have decided?"
Gao Jing nodded vigorously: "It's decided!"
"Good. ”
Shan Yan said neatly: "You stand here and take out the snake." ”
Gao Jing stood in the place designated by the old wizard and took out the body of the snake from the storage space again.
He stripped off his armor and put all his gear in storage except for the copper anchor.
Waiting for the Beast Soul Fusion Ritual to begin!
At the foot of Gao Jing, a witch array was arranged to hold the ceremony, and the old wizard of Shanyan surrounded the seven or eight meter-long snake around Gao Jing in three circles, and the snake's head was raised to face his face.
Shanyan closed the gate and raised his staff in front of the witch array.
"Here we go. ”
He whispered, his shriveled lips twitching, muttering obscure incantations.
The voice seems to come from an ancient wilderness, with an indescribable depth and mystery, and has an indescribable resonance with the world around it.
An invisible aura fluctuation emanated from the old wizard's body, slowly spreading out in all directions, resonating strangely with the witch array at Gao Jing's feet.
Beams of white light rose from the ground to the sky, and countless totemic talismans were obvious.
Soar around the high scenery and the snake!
Roar~
With a low roar, a small snake emerged above the snake's head.
It was only twenty or thirty centimeters in size, its scales and armor were all lifelike, and its eyes were wide open and it let out an unwilling roar.
Snake Spirit!
Under the control of an invisible force, this translucent beast soul soared into the air, and its size gradually increased in size as it struggled.
until it is on par with Gao Jing.
Gao Jing and the snake spirit looked at each other, and the latter's eyes showed an extremely complicated look.
Anger, despair, pain, resentment, and a glimmer of relief!
In the next second, it swooped down on Gao Jing.
Instantly blend into Gao Jing's body!
Although Gao Jing had been prepared, he still snorted, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged.
Relying on the previous explanation of the old wizard of Shanyan, he immediately urged the power of the totem and activated the giant spirit totem on his back.
Gao Jing's body suddenly swelled in a large circle, his bones made a crisp cracking sound, and his height was drawn from his body, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a little giant seven or eight meters tall!
His strength and physique have increased greatly.
But the snake spirit that had just been integrated into the body still brought Gao Jing great pain.
He felt that his whole body was placed in a huge grinding disc, every inch of muscle and bone was ground into pieces, and the power in his body was filled to the extreme, close to the edge of explosion.
This kind of pain is not at all something that ordinary people can bear, Gao Jing completely relied on his strong perseverance, as well as the will of the divine soul that cultivated to the realm of the Triple Mountain, and survived the most difficult moment.
Under normal circumstances, as long as he carried the backlash of the snake spirit, he would be able to successfully fuse the beast soul.
Become a true totem warrior!
And just when Gao Jing thought he was going to survive the difficulties, a sudden change occurred under his feet.
The surrounding snakes suddenly burst into red flames, and suddenly swirled up, actually entangled Gao Jing inside!
Its speed is extremely fast, and Gao Jing is fighting against the snake spirit in his body, but he found that it was not good and he didn't have time to dodge, and he was entangled and couldn't move!
Such a scene also surprised the mountain rocks outside the circle.
He has held the consciousness of fusing the soul of the beast for others many times, and has never encountered the corpse of a demon beast "alive".
The most important thing is that Gao Jing Fusion Beast Soul has reached the most critical moment, and there is no room for him to interfere at all.
Therefore, the old wizard could only watch and silently pray for the mountain ancestor to protect Gao Jing.
Be able to survive this life-and-death hurdle!
