"Will this not harm the body itself?"
Chu Feng asked seriously. In fact, after absorbing the essence of the bones earlier, he already knew that absorbing the essence wouldn't harm the bones. However, he still wasn't completely at ease. Deep in his heart, he felt that absorbing someone else's essence was disrespectful.
For others, Chu Feng wouldn't feel any remorse. Instead, he thought it was reasonable because other realm spirit mages would also take it. But this person was the biological mother of Su Ruo and Su Mei. So Chu Feng naturally had some hesitation.
"Absolutely not."
It seemed that Egg Egg and his solemn expression were reassuring him. Then he added, "This place is definitely not her grave. Judging from the situation, she probably entered here by accident and was killed by something."
"Just let me absorb her essence. Maybe I can help you figure out the cause of her death. I think as a friend of the pair of sisters, you must be eager to know how their mother died."
Egg Egg was very smart. Not only did Chu Feng notice this, but this beautiful woman might be the biological mother of Su Ruo and Su Mei. It turned out that she had already sensed the clue.
"Okay, then follow what you said."
Chu Feng nodded. This place was truly mysterious. It was very likely as Egg Egg said, there would be a huge treasure here. If a body of a Tianwu Realm strongman was buried here and Egg Egg absorbed the essence, Egg Egg could reach the Xuanwu Realm.
This was a huge joy for Chu Feng because it meant that he would have the ability to defeat Gong Luyun. Although it wasn't his own cultivation, it was at least his means.
"Woah!"
But just as Chu Feng was about to approach the body, the beautiful woman suddenly lunged at Chu Feng with her fangs bared and her claws outstretched, and her mouth even emitted a terrifying howl like that of a ghost.
And that aura was very special and strange. But it was certain that the pressure was so strong, comparable to a Yuanwu Fifth Realm expert. This was definitely beyond Chu Feng's ability to handle.
"Whir." Feeling something was wrong, Chu Feng subconsciously cast the aerial defense technique. Thunderlight surged, and he retreated several meters backward.
"Boom!" This attack missed, the beautiful woman crashed into the ground with great force. Although the surface rocks were very hard, they were still shaken and sent flying debris, creating a half-meter-deep crater. It showed how powerful this beautiful woman was.
"Woah!" The attack missed again. The beautiful woman came back and this time, she was even faster, almost appearing in an instant.
"Don't panic. Use the barrier technique."
Egg Egg's voice rang out. At the same time, a hot sensation filled Chu Feng's body. An extremely powerful aura began to emerge from within him, instantly filling his entire body. Chu Feng's cultivation level had reached the Lingwu Ninth Realm.
For this change, Chu Feng had anticipated it. He knew that it wasn't his own cultivation level that had improved, but that Egg Egg had lent her cultivation level to Chu Feng.
"Beep." With a thought, Chu Feng could communicate with the barrier. The barrier power surged out from his mind and appeared in front of him silently, forming an invisible wall to shield him.
"Bang!"
The beautiful woman collided with the barrier, and a loud noise was heard. A series of cracks appeared on the barrier. At the same time, she roared fiercely and retreated backward.
When she landed, Chu Feng was astonished to find that the place where she had collided with the barrier emitted a series of hot air, and her face was filled with fear.
"Very powerful."
Chu Feng was shocked. The defense power of this barrier technique was truly remarkable. Even though he was only at the beginner level of this technique, he could still withstand an enemy with the strength of a Yuanwu Fifth Realm. If he mastered it proficiently in the future, it could become his strongest defensive means.
"Take advantage of this moment and seal her with the barrier. Although she doesn't have intelligence, she will subconsciously protect the body. But the barrier technique can counter psychic energy. Even if she has the strength to break your barrier, she won't dare to approach." Egg Egg reminded him. And Chu Feng didn't hesitate either. With his mind moving, layers of barriers began to form, first in three layers, then in four layers, sealing the beautiful woman within until Chu Feng felt that his mental energy was about to run out, and then he stopped.
The mental energy was on par with the barrier power. As a barrier master, the stronger the mental energy one has, the stronger the barrier power they can use. So while setting up the barriers, the mental energy was also being consumed. With Chu Feng's current mental energy, setting up so many barriers was already his limit.
"Quick, absorb its essence!" Egg Egg cheered excitedly.
At the same time, Chu Feng also came to her side and began to help Egg Egg absorb its essence. This time, because Egg Egg had given her power, when Chu Feng absorbed the essence, he could clearly feel that his aura had soared rapidly.
Very soon, the aura in his body underwent a qualitative change. It was no longer (spirit energy) but Yuanli (primordial energy). After absorbing the essence, Egg Egg actually entered the Yuanwu realm.
"Haha, it's done." Egg Egg was ecstatic. In Chu Feng's spiritual world, she was jumping and jumping, it was truly beautiful.
But at this moment, Chu Feng noticed that the beautiful woman who had been imprisoned in the barrier by himself was rapidly dissipating and soon turned into nothingness.
"Damn it! You girl, you actually deceived me!" Chu Feng suddenly understood and knew that he had been tricked. Absorbing the essence of others indeed wouldn't cause any harm to the body, but it would completely destroy their consciousness.
"Not just a consciousness, even if I don't absorb her essence, she will soon dissipate. Why are you so angry at her for turning against me? Now the one who can help you is me, not her!" Egg Egg didn't admit any mistakes. Instead, she seemed very aggrieved.
"Forget it. Things have happened, I don't want to argue with you too much. But I don't want this to happen again. Besides, remember, I Chu Feng really do need to rely on your power now, but it's not that I can't do without you either."
Chu Feng was really angry. After all, that might be the biological mother of Su Ruo and Su Mei. Whether she had intelligence or not, but because of him, she completely disappeared, Chu Feng always felt a bit guilty.
"Alright, you're so powerful. Won't you stop deceiving me next time? I'll tell you a secret."
Egg Egg smiled mischievously.
"What secret?"
"I'm sure the mother of the twin sisters was killed by someone else. Because of her status, there couldn't be no treasures on her body. But look at her, although her clothes are intact, she doesn't have the (the bag of the universe), and her sternum is broken, obviously caused by external force."
"I can certainly see that, but the problem is, who do you think killed her? And who took her?" Chu Feng asked, he actually really wanted to help Su Ruo and Su Mei find the culprit who killed their mother.
Also, Chu Feng really wanted to obtain the treasures here because he not only discovered that the woman's was missing, but also that the piles of white bones they had absorbed from the original source did not leave any treasures behind.
This mostly indicates that the treasures on them had already been taken by others first, so Chu Feng was very eager to know who that person was, and most importantly, he wanted to know if that person was still alive.
"I have no idea. I didn't see it with my own eyes. But it must be human."
"You stupid girl." Chu Feng was quite annoyed, feeling that he had been tricked again by the balls.
"Hey, you don't need to get excited. If I'm not mistaken, the person who killed the sisters' mother is likely already dead because there are more terrifying things here. This place is mostly not an ancient burial site, but a sinister burial site!"
