Chapter 3: Borrowing a Corpse to Resurrect a Soul

Xueqing疑惑地问道: "Shall we deal with the monsters together?"

Xueqing thought for a moment and said, "The Long family is not foolish; they will realize it sooner or later"

Xin Lei and Lin Weier also charged forward. The princess was a fire-type magician, while Xue Qing was of the water type. Naturally, the magicians stood at a distance, chanting spells to cast their magic. Ling Feng thought to himself: being a magician is indeed more comfortable, as one does not have to go up and become cannon fodder

"Dark Tiger!" the princess exclaimed joyfully. As far as the princess knew, this Dark Tiger was a level 6 magical beast, immensely strong, agile in movement, and capable of some dark magic, able to contend with a high-level swordsman. In contrast, the alternative was merely a high-level swordsman

The snow situation first broke the silence: "How do we explain our return?" The princess was silent for a moment and said: "We will stick to the planned explanation, saying that we got separated in the Monster Forest."

Xueqing replied: "It doesn't matter whether it implicates others or not; after all, I am also within his sights. I am merely helping myself. The princess need not feel guilty"

The Dark Tiger unleashed a devouring sphere, and the Alternative dodged to the side. The Dark Tiger immediately swept its paw across. Since the Alternative could not change direction in mid-air and was in a state where the old strength was exhausted and the new strength had not yet manifested, without assistance, it could only be swept away. Standing nearby, Xin Lei attempted to cut through with a great sword, just as the Alternative thought it was saved, a voice echoed that sent him into hell

As Ling Feng absorbed this energy, he thought to himself, isn't it said that ghosts can possess bodies? They can even borrow corpses to return to life. Now, there happens to be a corpse that has just died not long ago

Ling Feng followed them into the depths they were familiar with. In fact, this was not yet the heart of the forest; however, generally speaking, once one reached this point, it was impossible to venture further without extraordinary strength. Therefore, from this point onward, it was considered a dangerous area, and people referred to it as the depths.

"Do not mind him, we are leaving now," the princess said coldly, without a hint of emotion.

The Dark Tiger's powerful claws struck firmly against the Alternative's body, causing the Alternative to spit out a mouthful of blood and be sent flying. The Dark Tiger immediately lunged at him again, for the Alternative had just used him as a punching bag, and naturally, he had to be dealt with first to quench the Dark Tiger's rage. The Alternative understood that he could only endure his injuries at this moment, steadying himself and raising his great sword to strike at the Dark Tiger.

"You are designing me to kill me. I will not let you go..." the alternative cried out unwillingly. He knew in his heart that this time there was no doubt he would die

A mournful roar echoed as the dark tiger fell to the ground, blood gushing from its wounds and pooling around it.

He is a typical dandy, and this is his first time leaving the imperial city without knowing the way. His spatial pouch and spatial ring do not have a map, and even if they did, he would not be able to understand it

The four of them remained silent, with not a single word spoken, for they understood that today marked the betrayal of their comrade. Regardless of the reasons, betraying a comrade is a sin that is looked down upon throughout this continent. If this matter were to leak out, both they and their associates would never be able to hold their heads high in public again. They had not considered one thing: if this incident were to come to the attention of the Long family, it would spell disaster.

The princess, deep in thought with her head lowered, looked up after hearing him speak and said, "After walking a little longer, we will set up camp to rest."

Suddenly, these substances floated towards Ling Feng as if they had found a home. Ling Feng wanted to escape, but once they merged into his body, he felt an immense sense of comfort. Thus, he allowed these substances to integrate with him. He analyzed that these were pure energy, and that after death, energy is indeed emitted, which is something scientists often discuss.

At this moment, the four individuals retreating into the forest are swiftly making their way towards the outskirts of the forest, as they are aware of the safe route

"As long as we walk a little further, we will shake him off. If we encounter a monster, we can lead him to fight it while we escape, and later we can say we lost him along the way," the princess whispered to the three.

"Xue Rou, are we still going in tonight?" the unconventional person in front turned back to ask. At this moment, Ling Feng truly saw this person clearly. In fact, if it weren't for his appearance resembling that of someone who indulges excessively, he could be considered somewhat presentable. However, in his current state, it was hard to offer any compliments. It was as if the words "I am a pervert, girls keep your distance" were etched on his face.

The other four have retreated towards the edge of the forest, and before leaving, they threw out a remark: "This is the consequence of your misdeeds over the years; no one will mourn your death, but rather, they will rejoice."

The alternative boastfully declared: "If you want to take me down, you're still far from it; my great sword is not to be trifled with"

The four individuals, each harboring their own thoughts, silently left the Warcraft Forest. They were unaware that the alternative had defeated the Dark Tiger, even though he himself had perished. Had they known, they might have regarded him with a different perspective

In an unconventional display of bravery, he swung his great sword with both hands at the approaching beast. The creature that came was a black-furred beast resembling a tiger.

After a moment of alternative thought, he said, "Alright, let's continue on." Without further ado, he walked straight in, not noticing that he had strayed a bit from the group. The people behind him gradually began to distance themselves from him.

It seems that I can no longer endure; watching the increasingly larger tiger's claws, I can only wait for death slowly in an alternative manner

Desperate, he resolved to take someone down with him, refusing to suffer alone. In an unconventional manner, he forced his fighting spirit to rise to nearly the level of a novice Sword Saint, unleashing the most powerful and final strike of his life, as the great sword emitted a radiant glow

The power of the five should have had the upper hand, yet they ended up in a stalemate. Clearly, apart from the alternative who exerted all their effort, the others held back, and the other two warriors occasionally dodged attacks, regardless of whether the Dark Tiger's strikes would hit the alternative.

I know this; I was aware of it when I was planning. However, I still have to proceed this way, and I will keep it hidden for as long as possible. I just feel sorry for involving you this time. The princess thought to herself: Bringing him here alone clearly indicates to others that I have a problem, and no one else would dare abandon him, fearing retaliation from the Long family. Only you are the sole choice.

Xin Lei then asked with some concern: "Princess, are you sure he won't leave the forest"

Just as they were speaking, a tiger's roar echoed, and the four exchanged knowing smiles, realizing that the opportunity had arrived. The princess said, "Let us go over and help him deal with the magical beast"

At that moment, a faint magnetic field emanated from the unusual corpse, which Ling Feng immediately sensed as he floated nearby. Moving a short distance away from the corpse, he noticed that no soul emerged from it; instead, the soul dispersed in all directions, vanishing. Although Ling Feng could not see these substances, he distinctly felt their presence.

Understood. The three individuals responded after hearing this

The princess sneered and said: "Yes, together! Only in this way can we ensure absolute safety. Later, you all try not to exert yourselves and let him do most of the work."

The alternative also fell in a pool of blood. Ling Feng had been watching the events unfold from the side. Although he did not know what mistake this alternative had made, he felt that at least in his death, he was a man.

The dark tiger sensed a dangerous aura and wanted to retreat, but it was already too late; the great sword slashed across its throat and cut towards its belly

After merging with the physical body, Ling Feng gradually began to feel sensations and could control this body, which meant he could control the current brain. At that moment, a thought emerged from Ling Feng's mind

The Dark Tiger struck him once again, and now he was covered in blood. At this moment, he regretted why he had to capture the princess. All day long, he had been hunting geese, only to be pecked by them now. The alternative was to endure this suffering, and it cannot be denied that his martial skills were solid; this was the only ability that earned him any respect from others.

Ling Feng looked at the unusual corpse, wondering if the soul would emerge at the moment of death. After waiting for a long time, he saw nothing coming out from the peculiar body. Ling Feng floated beside the corpse, questioning whether it was still alive. Instinctively, he reached his hand to the nostrils. ... There was no breath, ah ... . ... How foolish, how could I make such a basic mistake? How could my hand possibly feel any breath now.

When Ling Feng entered the alternative body, his soul was subjected to a strong impact. When he wanted to exit, he unexpectedly found that he could not. Could it be that the energy from earlier had made me the master of this body? Had I known, I would not have come in. I originally thought I could leave whenever I wanted, but now I find that I cannot leave at all, and my entire being feels as if it has fallen apart.

Upon reaching this point, Ling Feng had already discerned their intentions; they aimed to eliminate the alternative by using a knife to kill from behind. No wonder they had come here at night. The forests on Earth at night are terrifying, let alone in a place filled with so many monsters

The two men chose silence, for their betrayal as knights and swordsmen was unforgivable.

At this moment, Alternal recalled a method from the Aolong Technique he had learned, which forcibly enhances one's fighting spirit. The higher the level of the Aolong Technique practiced, the smaller the side effects and the greater the power it can unleash. With his second level of the Aolong Technique, he could temporarily elevate himself to an intermediate swordsman, but to increase further would require a sacrifice of his life.
