Capítulo 1166: Chapter 68: Black Snow Mountain Bug

When the fragment pierced his body, the curse merged into his blood.

As the curse’s vessel, Gu Shen could clearly feel… a sudden shadow over his life line, a shadow that wouldn’t dissipate no matter how he tried. He intended to expel it with the Netherworld Fire, but unexpectedly, the fire’s contact with the Heavenly Sheath Fragment triggered the traveller’s Spiritual Dream.

And at this moment, the divine curse of the Heavenly Sheath Fragment vanished into thin air at the traveller’s slightest gesture!

“You help me. I help you.”

This was what the traveller said, and the greatest purpose of his meeting in this Dream.

Gu Shen initially thought that it was he who asked for help.

But unexpectedly, it was just the opposite.

The traveller came to help him “survive”!

“The traveller taking the initiative… it means he has the power to control the ‘Heavenly Sheath Curse’.”

In this moment, Gu Shen realized a lot of information:

“It also means that the deal between the traveller and the Netherworld King was extended onto me. Originally, the deal used the Spark as a token, so even though the Netherworld King’s Spark has a new owner, the deal still holds.”

He looked at the emaciated shell, and after the curse dissipated, he felt a headache!

This was a “deal.”

A transaction bound by destiny, a contract already signed…

Even more, it was the messy situation left behind by the former Netherworld King. Describing it as a “mess” might not be quite accurate, since in this transaction, he was the first to benefit and enjoy the “benefits” brought by the deal.

This was why Gu Shen had a headache.

He really did not have the ability to help the “traveller” survive.

After dispersing the Heavenly Sheath Curse, Gu Shen felt much more comfortable all over.

He sat on the ground, looking at the emaciated body in front of him, and said seriously, “Thank you… but I really can’t help you. That spear and those arrows are not something I can pull out right now.”

He didn’t want to try, nor did he need to. This thing could pin the traveller’s true form down, and with his current skills, he wouldn’t be able to budge it even if he tried his hardest.

“…”

After raising his finger to drive away the Heavenly Sheath Curse.

The traveller no longer spoke.

He bowed his head, seemingly in a deep sleep. Those few simple actions just now seemed to have consumed a lot of his strength…

Gu Shen continued to ask, “So you can dispel the ‘Heavenly Sheath Curse,’ not by coincidence, but because you are naturally capable of mastering it… the big guy before was your [Angel Envoy], he wanted to pull out your ‘Divine Artifact,’ right?”

Hard to come by, managed to meet the traveller once.

He wanted to say a few more words.

The “Sword of Stone” that landed on the Tundra six hundred years ago could very likely be a product of the [Old World], at least the traveller is now inextricably linked…

However.

The other party had no intention of replying.

Gu Shen asked several more questions, but no response came. At this moment, the black snow falling from the dome became more numerous, dyeing the space between the two of them into a monochrome painting. Gu Shen had a premonition that this was when the time of the “Destiny Contract” had arrived.

His danger had been relieved.

Although the traveller did not answer, this interaction already confirmed.

The Heavenly Sheath is indeed related to it!

The former big guy’s desperate attempts to pull the sword… were by no means coincidental!

“Wait, how am I supposed to save you?”

Gu Shen stood up, quickened his speech: “If I want to see you again, will this soul contract still be in effect… if I get cursed by the Heavenly Sheath again, can we meet again?”

Still no response.

He and the “traveller,” still at the same snow-capped mountaintop, but their spirits seemed to be moving apart at the speed of light, going in opposite directions, and in an instant, reached two different worlds.

Gu Shen fell into silence.

He stood so close, looking at the emaciated shell nailed to the stone wall, suddenly having an illusion, he felt as if within that desiccated “skeleton,” a soul as “young” as his own was trapped, struggling within the shell, trembling amidst the all-encompassing black snow, yet unable to utter a sound or convey even the slightest bit of information.

He silently felt the rupture of the “spirit,” the Dream of Black Snow Mountain collapsing.

He opened his eyes, returning to reality.

…

…

The flames blazed outside, with bustling sounds of people.

The moment Gu Shen used his spiritual power to deactivate the Qingzhong Array Patterns, he “saw” the scene outside.

The young leaders of Changye were gathered outside his camp.

It seemed they were already aware of the news of him being pierced by the “Heavenly Sheath Fragment.”

What allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief was.

Uncle Gao and Gu Nanfeng were also present.

If he guessed right, the one holding Uncle Gao was Zhu Wang, whose purpose was not to determine victory or life and death, but if Gu Nanfeng hadn’t arrived in time… Uncle Gao’s situation might have been very dangerous.

Since Uncle Gao was safe, at least it showed that the information he provided was useful and timely.

That everyone was gathered here meant the siege of Kulong Snow Mountain was over.

Gu Shen was just about to step out of the tent, but suddenly a flash of inspiration swept through him.

He sat inside the tent and softly transmitted, “Everyone… I am unharmed, no need to worry, the aftermath is complex, thank you for taking care of your respective duties.”

“Brother Gu, what are you saying?”

Mu Qingyang asked anxiously, he was the first to say, “What exactly is your condition now?”

After speaking, he was about to come in to check.

But at the next moment.

A large calloused hand firmly held him down.
