Outside Of Time

Chapter 897 Ruler's Divine Weapon Suppresses the Northern Plains (2)

In the blink of an eye, dozens of bodies within the coffins visibly withered, and the consumption by hundreds of wandering souls inside their bodies turned them into real skeletons in just a few breaths. Then those souls rushed out and moved on to other coffins to continue their feast.

The fragrance emitted by these hundreds of coffins attracted more sleeping souls.

Very soon, many souls that had much more powerful aura than ordinary souls crawled out of the black glacier and arrived quickly with greed and madness.

They scrambled to enter these coffins and even devoured and bit each other for the sake of being the first to devour the bodies.

Compared to ordinary souls, these awakened souls from beneath the glacier were more robust and more likely to acquire a complete body, leading to the instinct to possess.

Hence, not long later, the first successful possession case emerged. A coffin collapsed and shattered into pieces, and the figure lying inside slowly sat up.

This was a young man, and his numb expression gradually changed at that moment, emitting waves of evil aura. Eventually, his eyes showed a look of desire as he looked up at the colorful vortex.

He slowly stood up and walked forward stiffly.

At the start, he was like a puppet, pausing with every step he took. However, as he became familiar with his body, this stiffness rapidly dissipated.

Ten breaths later, he had completely adapted to his body. He leaped up and rushed into the vortex, moving toward the human world.

Very soon, another coffin split open, revealing a figure.

However, there was a coffin that was very strange. The other coffins had souls entering and exiting, but in this one… the souls only entered but didn't exit.

None of the souls who entered it came out. It was as though there was a black hole in the coffin that devoured everything.

As the other coffins withered one after another, many souls followed their instinct for life and targeted this strange coffin.

About a hundred souls rushed in. When they saw the captain lying in the crystal coffin, all of them emitted greed and were about to pounce.

However, the instant they got close, a large number of mouths suddenly appeared on the captain's body. They quickly opened their mouths and inhaled.

Immediately, those souls were all swallowed by these mouths. After chewing quickly, all the mouths disappeared and everything was normal.

Not long later, more souls rushed in…

Just like that, time flowed by. Most of the coffins here withered and turned into dust. Only a few dozen or so souls possessed the bodies successfully and left this place.

The rainbow vortex also gradually dimmed and finally disappeared from this world.

At that moment, that strange coffin became the only place with vitality here. Hence, all the souls in the surroundings rushed toward the coffin from all directions like countless hungry wolves.

However, at the next instant, waves of terrified emotions suddenly spread out from the coffin.

The souls that rushed in were like they had seen a tyrant. They scrambled to escape and some of them even distorted.

However, the captain, who was lying in the coffin, didn't just use his mouths this time. Countless arms also grew out and quickly grabbed at the souls.

However, too many souls had entered the coffin earlier, and there were a lot that were trying to escape. Seeing that some were about to escape, the captain quickly put a mask on his face.

Immediately after, a roar that spread in all directions echoed. A huge shadow of the heavenly dog appeared and devoured the struggling and fleeing souls.

In the blink of an eye, the souls within a thousand feet directly entered the heavenly dog's mouth. The sound of chewing echoed, causing the remaining souls from a thousand feet away to scatter like frightened rabbits.

After the heavenly dog dissipated, a burp rang out from the coffin. The captain sat up and stretched his back, his expression revealing comfort and smugness.

"Haha, it's still best to use yourself as bait; it fills you up the most."

The captain looked around in satisfaction. After that, he waved his hand and spoke proudly.

"Both of you, come out. Is my body so warm that you don't want to leave?"

"Hurry up, we're going to do something big!"

As the captain's voice echoed, two figures flew out of his body. At first, they were very small but in the blink of an eye, they grew to their normal sizes. They were Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu.

It was evident that during the time when Xu Qing had left, both of them had experienced some incredible and bizarre events with the captain. So, Wu Jianwu was no longer the spirited youth he once was, but rather extremely cautious.

As for Ning Yan, he was numb.

However, it was obvious that their auras were much stronger than before. They looked like they had been greatly nourished.

Seeing their expressions, the captain sighed and walked forward with his hands behind his back.

"You guys, follow me. Walk softly and don't alarm the souls of those old antiques under the glacier. Although I have a way to suppress them, we have to reach our destination first."

Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu hurriedly followed behind, especially Wu Jianwu. He no longer recited poems. At that moment, he nervously looked around, as though any movement would cause him to instantly jump up.

Ning Yan glanced at him from the corner of his eyes with disdain. He patted his stomach, revealing a vine. He held it in his hand and played with it, looking indifferent.

As the three of them left, the captain's rueful voice rang out in the cold wind.

"You guys are really bad. Sigh, I really miss Little Qing now."
