Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Alright!" Lin Yi nodded and brought the bird towards the lingering spirit. Because of this scary presence, the other sea beasts would stay far away. It was just as the ghost said, there was no danger here.

The closer he got to the lingering spirit, the more Lin Yi felt the killing intent coming towards him from all directions. Each one was fiercer than the last, and it was extremely oppressive.

Slowly, Lin Yi reached the source of the obsession-there was a layer of light here, and he could see the surroundings without using his spirit sense. He couldn't help but exclaim,"What a terrifying battlefield!"

There was no doubt that it was a battlefield in front of them. The traces of an extremely fierce battle could be seen everywhere. However, this was not the scene of a battle between human cultivators. Human cultivators would never come here to fight. This shocking battle belonged to two extremely powerful Super Beast clans.

As far as Lin Yi could see, there were broken rocks and dead coral everywhere. What was more eye-catching were the bones of the sea beasts. This was a huge sea beast tomb!

After a moment of shock, Lin Yi quickly found the source of the obsession-it came from an extremely large corpse. Judging from the surroundings, the battle should have been over for a long time, but the corpse in front of him didn't decay at all. If even an obsession could exist independently, it wasn't surprising that the corpse didn't decay.

Looking at the giant, almost spectacular body, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. Whether it was a human or a beast, it was the natural instinct of all living things to respect a top existence.

Lin Yi didn't know what kind of beast it was-its body was like a mountain, and it looked like a giant electric eel at first glance, but it didn't really look like one after a closer look. Whether it was the exposed fangs or the dense, blade-like scales, all of them were a constant declaration of how terrifying and brutal it was when it was alive.

This corpse was definitely a rare treasure in the world!

That was Lin Yi's first reaction. Every part of a spirit beast's body was a treasure. The stronger the spirit beast, the more valuable every part of its body was. It was the same for sea beasts. The body of an original infant stage spirit beast could be sold for a shockingly high price, and this giant electric eel-like sea beast was at least at the split sea stage, or even stronger. What price would it be worth if it was sold?

Lin Yi didn't have much desire for spiritual jades now, but the thought of that fanatical scene made his heart skip a beat. Even if he didn't auction it off, the body would be of great use to him. He might not need it now, but it would be of great use in the future.

At that thought, Lin Yi couldn't hold it in anymore. He moved forward and prepared to put the body into the Jade space. The body was huge, but Lin Yi wanted to take as much as he could. If he couldn't fit it, he'd just dismember it on the spot. He couldn't just leave empty-handed with a pile of treasures in front of him. That would be a waste.

However, Lin Yi suddenly frowned. He realized that no matter how hard he tried to control the body, it wouldn't move at all. He couldn't put it into the Jade space.

"Save it, you brat." The ghastly thing finally couldn't stand it anymore. He laughed and said,""Although this fellow has been dead for who knows how many years, it still has its lingering will. You can't take it in unless you can crush its will."

"Ugh ..." Lin Yi felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. He just realized that if there was still an obsession left in the person's body, it meant that it was a living thing. It had to either submit to him wholeheartedly or destroy the obsession as the ghost said. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to put it in the Jade space.

But the problem was that the other party was at least a super existence in the sea shattering realm. Lin Yi didn't even have the right to worship him. Even if it was just a remnant of the other party's will, he could easily make him spit blood from the backlash. With Lin Yi's current strength, it was a fool's dream to destroy this will!

It was depressing to see such a huge treasure, but he couldn't do anything about it because he wasn't strong enough. Lin Yi shook his head helplessly and reached his hand to the corpse. Even if he couldn't put the whole thing into the Jade space, he had to at least get something out of it. After all, even a scale from the corpse was a rare treasure.

However, the moment his hand touched the scale, Lin Yi's entire body shivered and froze. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary on the surface, but his brain felt like it was going to explode. He felt countless jumble of information being stuffed into his brain, and images flashed by, making him dizzy.

Lin Yi's head was splitting apart, and he quickly tried to pull his hand back, only to find that the body seemed to have a magical power that sucked his hand in.

Lin Yi couldn't move at all, and the scenes that entered his mind were becoming clearer and clearer, turning into complete memory fragments. It was like a real world, and people couldn't help but be immersed in it.

In the unfathomably deep ocean, the Super sea beast that looked like a giant electric eel was silently lurking in the sand of the deep trench. A few miles in front of it was a fresh body of a sea beast. It seemed to be a powerful existence at the level of the Overlord of the sea, but its stomach had been cut open. The wound was charred black, and its internal organs and blood kept flowing out, attracting all the sea beasts from all directions.

This was a rare feast at the bottom of the sea. The sea beasts that had been attracted here were all fierce and ferocious, but they did not have any intention of attacking each other. Instead, they impatiently pounced on the huge corpse of the sea beast. They did not need to fight, as the corpse was enough for them to have a full meal. Of course, if it was not enough, a bloody fight would be inevitable.

However, this feast did not last for long. When the corpse of the sea beast was surrounded by more than a hundred ferocious sea beasts, a deep purple arc of lightning as thick as a water tank suddenly flashed. In the next moment, the hundreds of sea beasts that were feasting on the corpse were instantly electrocuted. Without any room to struggle or resist, each and every one of them was charred black, just like the sea beast corpse that they were eating. (To be continued.)
