Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 458 - 347: Corpse and Benefit

Once these words were uttered, the tent fell into silence.

Jin Fengyu sighed and waved his hand, saying: "Alright, I understand. You may leave first. Remember, nothing must happen at this moment. We must maintain the overall situation and prevent them from playing tricks."

The Mountain Patrol Golden General nodded in agreement and then withdrew from the tent.

Soon, Jin Fengyu was the only one left in the tent.

Inside, Jin Fengyu felt a slight pang of anxiety as he thought of what happened a few days ago, making his mind uneasy.

Just a few days ago, Qin An had followed Green Luo and others to assist the people on the upper road, unexpectedly disappearing during the support process.

Even Green Luo couldn’t find the reason.

Over the past few days, the news of Qin An’s disappearance had spread throughout the entire area.

No one knew where Qin An was.

But they were all very aware that a sudden disappearance at such a time must signify a major incident, and it was likely the opponent’s conspiracy.

However, it was also the final battle at this moment, and the opponent’s attacks came like a continuous abrupt rain, leaving no one with the time to search for Qin An’s whereabouts. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Considering the importance of the big picture, Jin Fengyu temporarily calmed his mind to deal with the final battle with full force.

Several days had passed without any news of Qin An.

Jin Fengyu speculated that Qin An had probably already fallen into the opponent’s trap, with little chance of survival.

Jin Fengyu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

Although he was worried about Qin An, he was now the leader of the Evil Extermination Bureau, responsible for commanding this final battle.

He absolutely could not be disturbed, nor could he allow his mind to be distracted because of Qin An.

Otherwise, the opponent would seize the opportunity to attack a weak point, ultimately leading to a total defeat.

Then, Jin Fengyu lowered his head to look at the map, carefully pondering the opponent’s plan.

...

The fighting continued, with battles of varying sizes erupting between the two sides at a speed like wildfire sweeping across the grassland.

At this moment, Qin An was in a dense forest, searching with a heavy expression.

Just a short while ago, he suddenly felt an inexplicable force pulling him to this forest.

After arriving in this forest, Qin An found that it seemed to have a natural maze-like array, making it impossible for him to escape.

He had been wandering here for several days, but kept going around in circles.

With his level sixteen Array Master profession, if it was an array, he would have broken it.

But the situation here was strange, not quite an array, with various mists mixed among it.

These mists connected together, trapping Qin An like a bird in a cage.

"Who is it? Could it be the Black Robe Pseudo-God targeting me?" Qin An squinted his eyes, tapping Cold Star with his finger, thinking to himself.

Given the current situation, and being drawn to this place, he suspected the Black Robe Pseudo-God.

But for now, Qin An had no time to think further; what he needed to do was to leave this place as soon as possible.

After all, the situation outside was changing rapidly; having disappeared for a few days, he had no idea what the current situation was.

The direction ahead was that same path.

Having lingered here for many days, Qin An continued walking forward without much thought.

The path gradually widened, and the sound of a stream could be heard.

A small creek flowed through the mountain.

Qin An stood beside the creek, observing the flowing water and calculating to himself: "It should be time to come out, three, two, one!"

As the countdown ended, a pure white corpse floated down from the creek.

The pure white corpse was dressed in a white robe, with skin as white as paper.

As the corpse flowed past Qin An, he once again raised Cold Star, striking with a Nine-Colored True Essence.

The Nine-Colored True Essence fell upon the corpse, passing through it, splashing a large volume of water.

"Still useless."

This was the umpteenth time he encountered the pure white corpse.

Whenever he came to the front of this river, he would encounter it again.

Nowhere else was as peculiar as this spot.

Qin An had tried various methods, but none could harm the pure white corpse, as if it was merely an illusion.

Yet he was very aware that the pure white corpse was real beyond real.

"Forget it, I won’t leave." Qin An thought to himself.

He had wandered here for several days, getting to know every inch of this place thoroughly.

And he knew only here was the most unusual.

Since there was something unusual, he might as well watch more closely here.

Qin An found a stone to sit on, setting Cold Star into the ground, watching the water flowing ahead.

The river flowed with a constant murmur, like eternal time, passing toward the front.

After a while, the pure white corpse once again flowed out from between the high mountains, following the river to Qin An’s vicinity.

This time, Qin An did nothing, just watched the pure white corpse gradually flow away, frowning slightly.

"It’s the same again; it seems to only want me to watch, not to act. But if that’s the case, how can I find a way to break this situation?"

He had tried following the river, tracking the pure white corpse to find a way out.

But after searching for half a day, he discovered the pure white corpse just circled through the mountains along the river.

Moreover, the river simply encircled the small mountain, as if pushed by an invisible giant hand, continuously flowing.

Having failed after a few attempts, Qin An stopped moving with the pure white corpse, sitting by the river and continuing to observe.

Another day passed, during which the pure white corpse had passed before Qin An’s eyes several times.

However, Qin An seemed to notice something unusual.

Each time the pure white corpse passed, Qin An sensed a faint aura of a living person on the corpse.

And that aura felt like it was coming from himself.

"Is he extracting the life force from my body?" Qin An pondered, already knowing the answer.

"If I let him continue extracting, will he come back to life?"

"But if he keeps extracting like this, I might be the first to die."

The extraction of life force was not fast, but each time it was taken, his life force would diminish slightly.

Qin An estimated that if this continued until his life force was exhausted, when the pure white corpse revived, he would be dead.

After thinking for a moment, Qin An reached into his bosom and took out a bottle of elixir.

This elixir fused a variety of effects, including restoring one’s life force.

After contemplating, Qin An pinched out a pill and swallowed it.

The next moment, the effects of the elixir erupted, replenishing Qin An’s life force at a visibly rapid pace.

At this moment, the pure white figure once again emerged from the river, extracting a portion of his life force.

Qin An thought carefully for a moment, deciding to endure here for now.

"If this bottle of elixir is exhausted and you still haven’t revived, perhaps I’ll seek another way."

With this thought, Qin An continued to sit on the stone, patiently waiting.

Subsequently, the river continued to flow, day and night, and three days and nights passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days and nights, Qin An’s life force was being extracted bit by bit.

The life force on the pure white corpse was also gradually condensing, as if it could come alive at any moment.

Qin An took out a pill, swallowed it, and threw the empty bottle into the stream: "This is the last pill. If it doesn’t work, then I’ll leave and find another path."

As he thought this, the corpse on the river floated over again.

This time, the pure white corpse had changed, its skin becoming rosy and normal-looking, like that of an ordinary person.

That white robe made him appear extraordinarily otherworldly.

After flowing once more, another sliver of life force was extracted from Qin An’s body.

However, after the life force was extracted, something different occurred.

The river continued to flow, but the pure white corpse stopped in front of Qin An and did not float away with the river.

Qin An stood up, holding the Cold Star, on full alert.

He could feel that this pure white corpse had a life force that was incredibly powerful, as if it had ignited his own life force with its own.

This life force was exuberant, like the morning sun.

Qin An had never seen such life force in anyone, even in the General Mansion.

Just as he thought this, the corpse that had been lying in the river suddenly sat up.

Immediately, those tightly shut eyes flew open.

At that moment, the corpse was completely alive, no longer a corpse, but like a living person.

Qin An could see a depth akin to the stars in those eyes.

A confused voice came from the man’s mouth.

"Finally revived, it has been so long. You are the one who brought me back to life. Indeed, you possess a tremendous life force, all from this elixir."

Listening to his words, Qin An suddenly spoke, "Who is the senior?"

He addressed him as "senior" because Qin An could feel an ancient and powerful aura from this person.

Stronger than anyone he had encountered before, including Li Moyun and Princess Long San.

The man came to his senses and smiled faintly.

Then, he slowly stood up.

"A person forgotten by time, not worth mentioning. Huh, something’s amiss. Wasn’t I on the ancient battlefield? How come it doesn’t seem like the ancient battlefield? Wait, this seems to be just a fragment. Tell me, what happened to the ancient battlefield?"

Hearing this, Qin An suddenly had a rough guess about this person’s identity: "Is the senior someone who fought the pseudo-gods of the monsters in the ancient battlefield?"

Upon hearing this, the man immediately frowned.

"The ancient times?"

Qin An briefly recounted the events of the ancient battlefield, becoming more certain of his guess.

Many years ago, the ancient battlefield was a whole, with countless human elites and pseudo-god monsters battling on it.

Eventually, that ancient battlefield was shattered into countless fragments.

From this, Qin An could guess the origins of this person before him.

When the fragments scattered, naturally some people or bodies drifted along with them to various places.

This person had drifted to this place.

As for why he found Qin An, perhaps it was sensing the uncommon life force in him since he carried a hundred pills.

He likely used some special method to bring Qin An to this place.

After piecing things together slightly, Qin An became more convinced of his speculation.

Upon hearing Qin An’s account, the man in white revealed a hint of emotion: "I see, it seems that the world has changed, no longer as it was. Right, you mentioned this place seems to be conducting some experiment, and it’s the final showdown?"

Qin An nodded, not saying a word.

The man in white pondered for a moment: "The pseudo-gods dare to bully our human race like this? What exactly is your Evil Extermination Bureau doing?"

Qin An replied helplessly, "That’s basically the directive from above. As I mentioned earlier, we can’t do anything about it."

The man in white nodded and said, "In that case, it is indeed a helpless move. Very well, I have no desire to involve myself in your affairs, and in fact, I can’t even if I wanted to. Since it is the directive from above, I must comply, or else I’ll end up being the one breaking the rules."

Hearing this, Qin An raised an eyebrow, "May I know the senior’s true identity?"

He had already vaguely guessed something from this person.

When this person mentioned breaking the rules, Qin An suspected he might be related to the Evil Extermination Bureau above.

As expected, when Qin An asked this, the man in white placed his hands behind his back.

"My name is Bai Lingfeng. As for my specific identity, you will come to know it in due course."

"Of course, you’ll need to leave Xunyang Prefecture."

"Today you saved me, take this as a token of gratitude. Consider us even..."
