Chapter 1345 A drink and a peck
After being isolated by the barrier in ancient times, it has almost always been in a state of isolation from the outside world.
Although some people went in at the beginning, the strange beast had just died.
Looking at the broken bones scattered on the ground, one can tell how fierce the attack was before they died. Even if there are any spirits left, it would be difficult for them to gather in a short period of time, let alone cause trouble.
Afterwards, in the quiet space, the radiation nourished the remaining soul of the strange beast bit by bit, gradually forming some vague white shadows.
At this time, in the almost forgotten ancient space, only the Lingzhen Pavilion treasure hunting team occasionally entered and exited.
They held the secret key to the self-contained protective barrier, but due to distance restrictions, they only explored near the barrier gate and did not dare to go too deep.
Bai Ying couldn't break through Lin Yuan's big barrier, and was also helpless against the small barrier of the same origin.
After several attempts, not only was he unable to inflict any damage on the opponent, but his already elusive figure was also dispersed...
Bai Ying was born with instincts, instinctively plundering and instinctively avoiding.
Knowing that he couldn't afford to offend, he stopped approaching and just wandered around in deserted places, slowly nurturing his abilities.
Until Lin Fan and his party entered the ancient times.
Unprotected flesh and blood is like honey with a strange fragrance. After being soaked by radiation, it becomes a deadly temptation.
"I remember you saying that Du Xingyu was trying to take over his consciousness." Antonio looked at Lin Fan. "At that time, you were damaged by radiation and your physical condition was extremely poor. It was a perfect opportunity to take over your body. Unfortunately, Aohen intervened in time and took you away."
"That's right." Lin Fan carefully recalled the details. "The white shadows' methods weren't that powerful, but we were too weak to resist. Furthermore, they were constantly learning from us. At first, they simply surrounded us, but later on, they started making larger movements and adopting targeted positions..."
"This proves they have a certain level of intelligence and are highly adaptable," Antonio said. "It's just that I haven't had the opportunity in all these years. Do you think it's possible..."
"What?" Lin Fan raised his eyes.
"Could it be that someone has actually been possessed by another's body? And it just hasn't been discovered yet?" Antonio asked tentatively.
Lin Fan frowned and thought for a long time: "The only possibility is Mu Jingjing who has been unconscious. But... when we returned to the sect, we were all like that. If this is really the case, would Chengkong and the others not be able to find out?"
She shook her head slowly. "I don't think so. They knew everything about the situation at the time. It doesn't make sense for us to remember it years later. They didn't check it then. There probably wasn't anything. But just in case..."
She took out Lingxi and sent a long message to Chengkong.
"If it wasn't you, then the only variable is that Ao was the one who killed Jintong, who was left behind." Antonio sighed. "With Baiying's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to find the body after you left, right? So Jintong's body wasn't eaten by the mutant thorn vines as we thought... Wait..."
He suddenly thought of a possibility, squinted his eyes, and asked unsurely, "Are you sure Jin Tong is dead?"
Lin Fan frowned even more tightly. "What do you mean? Do you suspect Jin Tong is still alive?"
She thought it was unlikely, but she still carefully recalled the situation. "When I separated from her, there were pieces of flesh in the blood she vomited. Her lungs were obviously about to rupture, and her internal organs were probably almost completely destroyed. At the time, we didn't know it was because of radiation; we just thought it was poisoning. But given her physical condition at the time, she simply couldn't have survived the process of squeezing herself up from the water, which was full of evil spirits."
So when Shen Xiuyuan said that Jintong was dead, Lin Fan was not too surprised. He just thought that she had given up halfway.
Given the circumstances at the time, there's nothing wrong with Ao Hen abandoning the body and escaping. Who could have imagined that the outcome was the same, but the process was reversed? Did Ao Hen simply kill the person outright because he didn't want to bother?
"Even if Aohen hadn't taken action back then, given Jintong's condition, she wouldn't have been able to survive the radiation damage down there. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to..."
"What if she was possessed before she died?" Antonio supported himself with his arms and stood up. "What if she was still breathing and not completely dead, and the white shadow found her and possessed her body?"
"..." Lin Fan was silent for a moment. "But what can this change? If it's true as you said, that Jin Tong was possessed by someone else, then what? Jin Tong is still dead. As for her body... If Bai Ying wanted to attach herself to Jin Tong's body and escape... we definitely haven't encountered it. Even if Ling Zhen Pavilion did, they wouldn't be so kind as to take anyone out, right?"
In the ancient times, the only people who appeared were either their own people or their enemies. If a real young woman appeared, the people of Lingzhen Pavilion would definitely take action immediately, even if it meant killing someone by mistake.
"If it can't get out, what's the point of having a body like that?" Lin Fan asked Antonio, who was deep in thought. "Ordinary people's bodies can't repair themselves as quickly as ours. Jin Tong's body was already on the verge of collapse, not to mention that he was slashed by Ao. You know that guy, he's not going to hold back. What's the point of having a body like that?"
Antonio fell into deep thought at Lin Fan's questioning. Finally, he shook his head, lay down, and rubbed his temples with both hands.
"I don't know. I can't explain it. It just suddenly occurred to me, and I raised this possibility. If it has nothing to do with possession, then it might have simply absorbed Jin Tong's flesh and blood, and then somehow, it aggregated and fissioned, turning into the monstrous appearance it is now."
"Don't think about it." Lin Fan reached out and stroked Antonio's forehead. A bright blue light shifted from his palm, and his frown gradually relaxed. "The cause can't be traced back. Our focus now is to solve the problem."
The constant coolness made Antonio's aching head feel very comfortable.
"I'm not worried." He placed his hands on Lin Fan's, closing his eyes and enjoying the moment. "Since you were able to get me out, you can definitely handle that guy. Add me, and we can combine our strengths... Ouch!"
"Just now you said that you underestimated the enemy, and now you start again?" Lin Fan withdrew his foot unceremoniously.
"What? I'm just optimistic." Antonio lifted one eyelid to peek, and used one hand to rub his leg. "I was still lying down, and you kicked me. Hiss, it hurts!"
"If it doesn't hurt, will you remember?" Lin Fan didn't want to give in to him and pulled his hand back from Antonio's head. "I was almost at my wit's end this time. I was about to shoot him with my cannon, but then I discovered he was afraid of thunder. What a coincidence."
"So," Antonio smiled and turned over to his side, "everything in this world, every sip and every bite, has its destiny..."
Sooner or later, they will meet their fate, and sooner or later, they will be able to resolve it. But it is hard for him!
"Stop being so arrogant." Lin Fan rudely tugged at her wrist, and Antonio snapped it open again. "When you feel better, regulate your breathing. Get well soon, we'll be busy later."
"If only there was some wine..." Antonio muttered with a smile.
His wine, like Lin Fan's food, was a quick way to replenish energy.
However, after learning to cultivate immortality, these few joys in life were shattered by breathing exercises and recharging energy. Directly absorbing spiritual energy naturally recovers faster than simply drinking.
But the boring breathing exercises were nowhere near as enjoyable as drinking. Antonio, who loved wine, always felt his mouth was empty and his life was dull.
"Hurry up!" Lin Fan slapped his arm. "If you delay any longer, you'll be eaten by that radioactive monster sooner or later."
