Yunyi is young, but has a lot of knowledge. Every year during the village's celebration to pray for blessings from the gods, there are people who experience abnormal situations similar to what happened with Qi Shen. Some have injuries but feel no pain, some speak in a completely different voice, and some even behave like animals, crawling on the ground.
There are countless deities in the world, existing in various forms.
Yunyi: "You've been possessed, and you don't look very friendly. Is he always there? Is the mask what he uses to restrain himself?"
Qi Shen was still being held down on the ground, and he didn't rush to get up. He just spoke to Yunyi, "Oh? Quite clever. Why don't you ask this Mountain God to let go, and I'll get up to talk."
It seems he was telling the truth. This mask is the skull of a certain deity, which isolated He Chun's perception.
He Chun didn't see many human beings after all. It was very difficult for him to discern the strangeness of a person from their actions and expressions once he left the mountains and forests.
Yunyi followed He Chun's back and pulled it towards herself. Although there were divine bones on Qi Shen's body, Yunyi was not afraid that Qi Shen would harm herself and He Chun, because even if it's just bones, the gods would not protect those who cause harm.
He Chun released Qi Shen, but maintained a huge body size, squatting next to Yunyi to guard.
Yunyi learned to fake a smile like Qi Shen: "So, who is it then?"
Qi Shen: "You have no secrets to exchange with me, I know everything about you."
Yunyi doesn't buy into his act: "You took the initiative to talk to me in the village, and now you've brought me back from the street to take off my mask. Isn't it just to tell me that there's something you want me to do." Or more bluntly, using her to manipulate He Chun.
Qi Shen's smile faded, revealing a hint of genuine emotion. What kind of look lies behind the mask?
It's as if he can see the future fate, and the person in front of him is the doomed one he feels sorry for. Qi Shen said again, "Smart." He went straight to the point: "The one who just appeared on me is the one you are looking for. Born from death, also nourished by it. So he constantly creates more death to strengthen himself."
Qi Shen travels around to practice and was originally going to on-site nearby to rescue civilians. He encountered this vengeful monster and wanted to kill it. He underestimated this monster, whose true form is a skeleton hidden among countless corpses.
He not only failed to eliminate the demon, but also almost died himself, and his body was forced to become its vessel. His willpower remained strong as he struggled with the demon for control of his body, weakening day by day. Just when he thought he was about to die, Qi Shen unconsciously touched the mask on his face.
He was saved, and his mask came from a wolf-bodied Beast God. He met Beast God on his journey and they accompanied each other for a while. It was his best and only friend.
Beast God had been walking on earth for many years, constantly depleting himself to respond to the prayers of humans. He knew that he was in trouble and came to save him, but was killed by the great demon.
Before it died, it told him to make its skull into a mask, which could resist the control of demons.
It was right. Qi Shen resisted the demon's attack with the mask, but he couldn't get close to the demon. As long as he got close, he would lose his self-consciousness.
This means - he couldn't kill it.
Qi Shen has been searching for a way to kill the monsters, for the sake of all ordinary people, for himself, and for his friends. The person he originally chose was General Duan in the capital city, who has killed countless enemies and is full of murderous aura, which may be able to suppress the monsters.
I didn't expect him to help Yang Yushu so easily, giving him a lifeline. Yang Yushu found Yunyi who had made a contract with Mountain God. It's really like having divine help.
"So what you're saying is, you want us to help you kill it?" Yunyi shook her head. "Not enough. According to your description, this monster can use other people's bodies. How can you be sure it only has your body?"
Qi Shen: "It has a sword, made from the sacred spine of the land where it was born. This sword can directly kill souls. We just need to take the sword away, and when it is attached to me, we can kill it."
Yunyi was not completely swayed by Qi Shen's greatness.
This sword is so important, it will definitely be closely watched by the Skeleton Monster. How are they going to get their hands on it? And the biggest problem is: "What about the other people in the caravan?"
Qi Shen fell silent for a moment, offering no explanation, only saying, "Accident." Then, the conversation ended for the day.
Yunyi is thinking carefully about every word Qi Shen said after he left, but still has many doubts. She can only take it step by step.
To kill the monsters and stop the war, she needs to think more about how to kill the monsters, but the war can only be stopped by power. It's always right to go find General Duan first.
