Chapter 1388 - 414: [Possession Failed]_2

Chapter 1388: Chapter 414: [Possession Failed]_2

He immediately understood what had happened when he encountered the "Ghost Wall" in the forest earlier.

He also understood what the stranger meant by "my territory."

Clearly, this guy used a magical spell to enclose the area of the forest, making it impenetrable to outsiders even at a glance.

If one were to enter recklessly, they would be trapped by some kind of spell, spinning in place!

Wu quickly estimated that the stranger’s "territory" exceeded a radius of ten miles.

(When Chen Yan heard this, his heart stirred. This stranger cultivating has a considerable mastery of arrays! To set up a large array covering a radius of ten miles, at least the array’s mastery is something Chen Yan admitted he couldn’t achieve.)

After living in the forest for a few days, the stranger controlled Wu to leave the mountain!

He walked out of these mountains!

·

He climbed over these mountains and emerged from the other side, reaching a city outside the mountains.

This was in another direction of the small country, belonging to another armed warlord.

There are two cities here.

Upon re-entering the "civilized world," Wu’s inner heart was somewhat disturbed.

But he firmly remembered the stranger’s warning: if he showed any conscious resistance, the stranger would immediately kill him.

Although Wu initially had some hidden plans for resistance, after witnessing various magical phenomena of the stranger in the past few days, his original clandestine thoughts finally vanished.

The gap between them was too vast!

He had even prepared for death, just waiting for the day when the stranger’s consciousness would complete the possession process and eventually consume or erase his consciousness.

But what surprised him next was that after entering the city...

His actions once again exceeded Wu’s expectations.

He actually started "enjoying" himself.

·

The belongings on the thirty or forty soldiers he had killed were scavenged by the stranger, and some money was obtained.

Furthermore, pure gold accessories carried by two warlord leaders’ adopted sons were taken by him, and casually molded into gold lumps.

The towns in this small country are both broken and chaotic, yet brimming with vitality with various black market and illegal transactions.

Two gold lumps sold on the black market fetched some money, combined with scattered cash originally taken from corpses, which was quite considerable.

While selling the gold, the stranger also befriended the black market vendor and, after revealing some intentions, the vendor immediately understood and acted as a guide, taking him into the town’s so-called "Gold-Dissolving Cave."

This kind of Gold-Dissolving Cave has all kinds of vices, alcohol, lust, wealth, and gambling, and as for DP, it’s practically a local specialty.

"Watching" this stranger enjoy himself in the Gold-Dissolving Cave.

Embracing women, drinking alcohol, eating meat, gambling, and smoking...

For a moment, even Wu started to feel puzzled.

Could it be that the immortal from the mountains got bored staying there too long and came out seeking amusement?

How can one describe this feeling? Strange!!

Wu felt like he was playing a first-person perspective game.

Yet he himself felt absolutely nothing.

Although the fine liquor entered his mouth, he could not taste it at all—because the control of his body was not in his hands, he could only see but not taste the alcohol.

Similarly with smoking, and even... sleeping with women.

This feeling was akin to watching that kind of first-person perspective AV.

For several consecutive days, Wu could only sit idly by, watching as the stranger controlled his body to drink, gamble, and sleep with women in the Gold-Dissolving Cave.

He began to doubt more and more what the stranger wanted.

Could immortals also covet such pleasures?

Until many days later, when the money in his hands began to dwindle.

But Wu vaguely sensed that the stranger’s mood was getting worse!

The two were in one body, and Wu seemed to be able to feel the stranger’s consciousness, that emotional fluctuation.

The stranger’s mood grew more oppressive, although he said nothing and revealed nothing, Wu felt that heavy pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on him so hard as to suffocate.

The feeling of fear in his heart intensified.

The stranger became more silent, the quietness subtly conveying a sense of restlessness and unease.

He held a bottle and drank furiously, embraced women, and indulged himself overnight.

But the waves of consciousness seemed like a beast trapped in a predicament.

Until the last day...

That evening, the stranger found someone in the Gold-Dissolving Cave and bought a package of "goods."

It’s said to have high purity, supposedly a type that can make one feel blissfully immortal...

Then, he took two glamorous women back to his room, closed the door, and began to enjoy.

No, to be precise, throughout this process, his attitude was not one of enjoyment.

It was rather, as if performing some kind of desperate... attempt?

With a meticulous, serious, even very solemn demeanor, he began to taste those DP.

After a full night...

The room was already in complete disarray.

The stranger, with a half-naked woman in his arms, suddenly climbed up, pushed the woman away, and in a rage, shouted at everyone to get out.

The stranger’s emotions exploded all of a sudden.

He began cursing!

One could not understand his words as Wu couldn’t grasp what he was saying in that dialect but felt that his mood was very bad.

It was resentment, anger... even despair!!

He overturned tables, smashed bottles, broke mirrors...

After causing a commotion for more than ten minutes, the stranger suddenly calmed down.

He gasped for breath, then slowly walked to the broken mirror half in the room.

Standing before the mirror, Wu could see himself in the mirror—his reflection in the mirror, with a gloomy gaze, yet expression calm, but with bloodshot eyes, traces of emotions remaining.

"Congratulations."

The stranger slowly spoke, looking at the "self" in the mirror, his tone seemed to carry a hint of mockery.

"Congratulations on what?"

"You won’t die."

Wu was suddenly shocked.

Then, he cautiously probed, "What do you mean by that...?"

"Possession... failed." The stranger sighed.

Wu: ?

·

The stranger took Wu’s body and Wu’s consciousness, left the Gold-Dissolving Cave, and also left that town, walking into the mountains again.

Through mountain paths, they returned to the area enclosed by the stranger’s array.

Wu noticed some details, during the journey home, under the stranger’s control, his body traversed mountains and waters as if it were on flat ground, seemingly his flesh remained strong under the stranger’s peculiar breathing technique.

Yet, Wu sensed a strange flavor from it.

Weakness!

·

A few days later, they returned to the forest within the range of the array, and eventually back to the cave.

The stranger just sat at the cave entrance, motionless.

For the following days, he sat at the cave entrance, gazing up at the sky, unmoving like a stone at the cave’s entrance.

Wu initially endured, eventually unable to hold back, trying to communicate with the stranger through consciousness, yet received no response.

Until the third day...

In the cave for three days, the stranger suddenly sighed.

That sigh seemed uncertain, what kind of emotions were being released.

As if with that sigh, he let out all of his spirit and hope, dispersing into the air.

Then, the stranger finally spoke.

Seeming self-talk, but Wu knew the words were meant for him.

"Let’s make a deal. You help me with something, and I... let you live."
