#1144 - Chapter 1144 Loss of Consciousness

Wenjie paused, stopped by Gongsun Qing's stern rebuke.

Gongsun Qing saw the everted flesh wound on Wenjie's back; just looking at it made him feel the pain.

Gongsun Qing gently moved his palms, pouring his own spiritual energy into Wenjie's wound to heal him.

"Senior Brother, you mustn't expend your spiritual power on me!" Wenjie wanted to stop Gongsun Qing, but Gongsun Qing ignored his advice and insisted on healing him.

A gentle force transmitted into Wenjie's body; Wenjie felt as if the spiritual power throughout his body was re-condensing, and his injured meridians were also returning to normal.

"Zhang Tie, what do you mean?" Gongsun Qing asked quickly.

"When I was trapped by the vines of this flower earlier, I discovered that this flower absorbs spiritual energy, not essence and blood. I suppose it's the way to survive in this desert, but this flower is definitely not the Mandala flower we are looking for."

After Zhang Tie explained, Wenjie and Gongsun Qing also suddenly understood.

After the three of them adjusted their breathing for a while, they continued to search for the Mandala flower in the desert.

Meanwhile, on the edge of Hell.

Ye Kong was chasing the suspicious black shadow and arrived at a vast expanse of black earth.

The scene before him was boundless. Without the uneven stone pillars blocking his view, Ye Kong looked around but did not find the black shadow from before.

But this black earth was extremely strange; black withered grass grew all around, and the soil underfoot was particularly muddy.

Just as Ye Kong was carefully observing the surrounding environment, a pungent, fishy odor suddenly wafted through the air, making him want to vomit.

Ye Kong cast a breath-holding spell, temporarily cutting off external air.

Guided by his intuition, Ye Kong stepped forward towards the dark place ahead.

The yin wind howled, the surroundings were dim, and it was desolate and deserted.

The further he went, Ye Kong noticed that the surrounding flat ground had occasional raised mounds, all the same shape but different sizes.

The more he looked at those raised mounds, the more they looked like graves.

Without knowing how far he had walked, Ye Kong stopped and stared fixedly at the scene before him.

All around were raised mounds, and in front of him was a mountain of bones piled up from white bones.

The bone mountain was covered with remains, not just human.

Ye Kong raised his eyes to look at the bone mountain.

A picture of divine sense exploration flashed through his mind.

Ye Kong's divine sense saw Sheng Ge hanging on the top of the bone mountain, swaying precariously in the wind.

Knowing Sheng Ge's location, Ye Kong immediately acted, leaping up and flying onto the bone mountain.

Ye Kong stood firmly on two skulls. At this moment, Sheng Ge was hanging from a long bone.

"Junior Sister Sheng!" Ye Kong tried to wake Sheng Ge, but Sheng Ge's eyes were tightly closed, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

Ye Kong didn't care about anything else; he spun his hand, forming a hand seal, and two rays of spiritual light flew from his hand towards Sheng Ge.

Ye Kong controlled the spiritual light and successfully rescued Sheng Ge, catching her in his arms.

There might be some danger on this bone mountain, so he should go down first.

Ye Kong leaped gently, slowly falling to the ground like a fallen leaf.

Ye Kong directly grabbed Sheng Ge's right wrist to take her pulse.

But Sheng Ge's pulse made him frown.

"Her pulse is steady and normal, and there are no internal injuries. Why is she unconscious?"

Just as Ye Kong was pondering, he suddenly seemed to sense something, and his body shook.

"Why does she not have a trace of spiritual energy on her body?!"

Ye Kong flipped his hand, and a Qi Condensation Pill appeared out of thin air. After Ye Kong fed it to Sheng Ge, he injected his own spiritual energy into Sheng Ge's body.

But Ye Kong found that doing so could not last long, and the spiritual energy in Sheng Ge's body dissipated for no reason.

At this moment, the surrounding yin wind was miserable, but to Ye Kong, it sounded more like ghosts howling.

Ye Kong's divine sense sensed that some filth had been added to the surroundings out of thin air.

There's movement!

For safety's sake, Ye Kong stood up and activated the protective screen technique.

Ye Kong's whole body's spiritual energy flowed through the meridians under his feet, and gusts of wind rose from the soles of his feet, and the surrounding aura also began to operate rapidly.

Pale blue gas quickly condensed, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a barrier, enveloping Ye Kong and Sheng Ge in it.

At the same time that the barrier formed, things broke out of the black earth around them, muddy all over, seeming like people, but not people.

Ye Kong couldn't determine what those things were.

And those things were slowly walking towards the same direction, staggering, but never stopping.

At this moment, Ye Kong discovered that the bone mountain from just now had unknowingly appeared full of ghost spirits.

There were ghost spirits with one red eye, headless ghost spirits, and heartless ghost spirits with transparent chests...

Because the barrier concealed Ye Kong's aura, neither the things that emerged from the black earth nor the ghost spirits coming down from the bone mountain had discovered Ye Kong.

Ye Kong saw that these ghost spirits were also like those just now, slowly walking towards the same direction.

Ye Kong looked in the direction they were leaving, closed his eyes, and used his divine sense to explore that direction.

A faint green river flashed through his mind. The river was very wide, and there was a bridge on the river, and those ghost spirits were walking towards that only bridge.

When Ye Kong's divine sense swept over a group of ghost spirits, Ye Kong saw a familiar figure. Ye Kong used his mind to control his divine sense to take a closer look at the front of the ghost spirit.

It was Sheng Ge!

Ye Kong was startled, and suddenly opened his eyes, turning his head to see that Sheng Ge was still lying peacefully behind him.

"Could it be..."

Combining the result that he had just injected Sheng Ge with spiritual energy but it dissipated.

"Sheng Ge's spiritual consciousness has left her body!"

At this moment, the system's prompt sounded in Ye Kong's mind.

"Ding~ Ahead, the banks of the Wangchuan River, scarlet shores, hoping past dust, all illusions. By the Naihe Bridge, hearts break!"

"Not good, if Junior Sister Sheng's spiritual consciousness walks onto that bridge, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Ye Kong flew up and sped towards the bridge.

As soon as Ye Kong left the protective formation, the surrounding ghost spirits immediately sensed Ye Kong's aura and gathered around Ye Kong.

But Ye Kong's speed was extremely fast, leaving most of the ghost spirits behind.

When he saw Sheng Ge's spiritual consciousness, Ye Kong quickly reached out his hand to pull her out.

But Ye Kong's hand actually passed directly through Sheng Ge's spiritual consciousness, not grasping anything.

Sheng Ge's spiritual consciousness had empty eyes, a dull gaze, ignoring Ye Kong, and still walking towards the bridge.

"Sheng Ge, I am Ye Kong!" Ye Kong wanted to guide the spiritual consciousness to follow him, but Sheng Ge still did not change direction.

At this moment, the ghost spirits behind him attacked Ye Kong one after another.

The ghost spirit with only one red eye raised its withered, skinny arm, wanting to entangle Ye Kong.
