Chapter 6 - Spirit and Flesh

Wen Na pulled out another dagger and handed it over, and I followed her example, holding back the nausea and grabbing the cold and slippery thing.

"Bite me?" The dagger Wen Na gave me was very sharp. I just touched it lightly and the snake's head broke immediately.

"What a knife!"

"Give it to you."

Wen Na folded the snake skins she had taken off several times and made them into the shape of a backpack.

"Hey, you are so skillful with your hands." Wen Na knew so much, and I became more and more curious about her.

"for you."

"Do you want me to carry this?"

"This is for you to wear."

...

This is more exciting than carrying it on my back. You want me to wear a snakeskin vest?! This is so disgusting!

Wen Na looked at my expression of resistance and said, "It's okay if you don't want to wear it now, but you have to wear it on your body later. Although your spirit body can ignore these injuries, your body can't. This skin will have

Very useful."

Wen Na took out a small glass bottle and took out some snake venom. I followed her example and took some too. She packed up a lot of snake meat, snake gallbladder, and snake bones. Then, like magic, she made a big bag and put all these things together.

Stuffed it in.

"It's a bit conspicuous to carry such a big bag..." With such a big bag, some people thought we were going to catch the train.

"Little guy, watch carefully."

There was actually a little pride and pride on Wen Na's face, but she called me little guy! What the hell?

Wen Na looked at me and smiled, swung her backpack behind her shoulder, and the big bag disappeared just like that!

I ran behind her and looked, but there was nothing.

"How did you do it!"

"This is very simple for Yuan people."

"Now I'll teach you how to use the dagger first. You hold it like a kitchen knife."

"I've never used this thing before. I use kitchen knives all the time. I'm a chef."

"Do you cook often?"

"Yes, I cook it basically every day. My cooking is delicious!"

"If I have the chance, I would also like to try it." Wen Na listened to my words and answered me very seriously.

Seeing her sincere eyes, I felt ashamed of the narrow-mindedness that I had always been wary of towards her... She didn't notice my mental activities and soon started telling me how to use the dagger.

"The dagger is mainly used for stabbing. It is the most suitable weapon for you now. It basically stabs, scratches, and picks. Although the wound is small, the damage caused is very deep, especially like this."

Wen Na grabbed a snake, stabbed it in, and then cut it open. In less than two seconds, the snake was disembowelled.

I saw the snake's blood splattering everywhere and felt dizzy.

"It's almost time for your spirit body to come out. It's already great that you persisted for so long at the beginning. Now go back."

Wen Na supported me, I closed my eyes, felt my heartbeat, and my spirit body returned to my body.

"Sister Wen Na, are you a spirit or a body?"

"I am both a spirit body and a clone. For a Yuanren like me who has certain awakenings and special abilities, the spirit body is the body, and the body is the spirit body. To use the meaning you can understand, it is - clone."

"ah?"

"But it's not that exaggerated. After all, it's difficult to operate both ends of the consciousness. I can be two people, I can do two things at the same time, and appear in two places at the same time. But there is also a huge gap in the power of the two, just like the flow of energy.

It's like a seesaw. If one end consumes too much energy, I will be weak on the other end."

"What's the other end of you doing?"

She smiled again and didn't answer me.

"Put this on quickly."

I reluctantly put the snakeskin vest on my body.

Then, she put the dagger into a leather sheath and tied it to my calf.

After doing this, she suddenly covered her stomach and exhaled softly.

"It's okay!"

She turned pale at this time and waved her hands feebly.

We were fine just now, why did it suddenly become like this!

"Seesaw..." She said weakly, and I understood that it was her on the other end who was consuming a lot of energy, or maybe she was separated for too long and consumed a lot of energy.

Suddenly, her whole body seemed to be shocked by electric shock, her whole body bounced up, and then she disappeared!

But it appeared again the next second. I saw her body shatter and disappear like pieces of pixels, and then appeared again...

I was thrown into a panic by the sudden change. In this darkness, the only person who gave me hope, warmth and care suddenly became like this...

Another heavy blow, and Wen Na's whole body was bounced away by an invisible force. I couldn't catch the disappearing pixels, and she just disappeared...

I sat in this dark cellar for an unknown amount of time. I felt that she might not appear again, and I couldn't remember the words I used to call her here.

"The only way you can really get out of here is by yourself." This is what Wen Na said to me when we first met.

I want to get out of here! I can no longer sit back and let others slaughter me!

Thinking of this, I closed my eyes, and the spirit came outside the barbed wire fence again.

I took out the dagger she gave me and walked through the snake pile again. Several snakes also attacked me. I ignored them and let them attack. I had to get out.

A fence appeared behind the pile of snakes. The distance was not too narrow. I grabbed the fence with my hands and tried to get the spirit body out.

But my palms felt like pins and needles!

What's going on? Isn't the spirit body immune to harm? I took my hand back and saw many thorns thinner than a hair piercing into my hand. This was the source of the pain I felt.

What is the mystery of this fence? The poisonous black iron snake just now did no harm to my spirit body...

I looked up along the fence and saw a scary face.

What a face that is!

It was as if it had been completely melted by fire. The bright red tender flesh that had just grown was wrinkled and shiny, and there was no hair on the head. Where the eyes should be, there were two dark holes!

This face is scary enough, but what's even scarier is that this face is tilted right now, looking at me from less than half a meter above my head...

Who is this person...

Did the shelter arrange to detain and guard my people?

No, no!

I quickly calmed down. Wen Na said before that an entity cannot cause harm to a spirit body, unless... he is also a spirit body?!

I faced that scary face again. He did have human features, but with the slight movement of the railings of the fence, I finally saw clearly...

This is not a human being at all... nor is this a fence in front of me...

He and the fence are one!

This is clearly a giant spider with a human face! The movable fence is the long legs of this thing, and what sticks into my hand are the cilia on its feet! These hair tufts are what the spider can do on vertical smooth objects.

Climb up.

I remember seeing in a popular science magazine that there is an ogre spider with only 6 eyes. However, due to the huge difference in size, many people think that it only has two eyes. These two huge eyes are basically

It has the same function as human eyes and is extremely good at night vision. It not only allows the ogre spider to have a wider field of vision, but also allows it to hunt or avoid natural enemies at night.

This...couldn't this be an ogre spider...

The ogre spider eats so many humans that it grows human facial features?

I pretended to be calm. I definitely couldn't outrun it if I ran, so I could only take a gamble. What would such a big spider feed on to survive in this dark cellar?

The giant spider with a human face soon told me the answer...

It waved its sickle-like tentacles, like noodle, and picked up a black iron snake that was wrapped around my feet before! It was so fast that I didn’t even have time to react, and I heard the sound of sucking. It was like eating.

It was like noodles. I picked it up and put it next to my head. A thick black iron snake was sucked in without even spitting out any bones.

I am a spirit, I am a spirit...it can't hurt me...it can't hurt me...

I silently recited these words in my heart to cheer myself up...

For a moment, I didn't know whether to run back or continue to slip through the gap between its feet and the fence.

I took two more steps forward, and I saw its few fence-like steps, with fine cilia squirming on them.
Chapter completed!
