Chapter 537: Beyond the Corpse of Death

Chapter 537: Beyond the Corpse of Death

In the flashback, Li Yuan seemed to see Jiang Shi's life.

Although there are only a few impressive events, it almost runs through Jiang Shi's life.

The act of invading memory caused Jiang Shi to struggle. Li Yuan stopped him and watched silently until he saw the battle where the eight tribes gathered together.

When Li Yuan fought with Canglong and left, he disappeared from Jiang Shi's sight.

Jiang Shi only felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

He fought in blood, his whole body glowing with the faint light of divine power, and his nearly four-meter-tall body burst out with infinite power, overturning giant beasts and crushing mud and rocks with his fists.

The eight leaders led the warriors to fight and retreat, consuming the power of the primitive beasts through hunting.

However, Jiang Shi and hundreds of warriors from the Tianhuang tribe were trapped and blocked by hundreds of primitive beasts.

Even after exhausting all his spiritual energy, he was unable to break out.

The eyes of Tianhuang leader were red, but looking at the many primitive beasts that were surrounding and killing him, he knew that it was impossible to rescue them.

He led the remaining soldiers and killed them into the distance.

Jiang Shi fought to the end during the siege.

Eventually, it was carried away by a huge ferocious bird and swallowed whole.

However, in the pain of flesh and blood corrosion, the tenacious will awakened the dying Jiang Shi.

He thought of Li Yuan, who had fought with Canglong and whose life or death was unknown.

I thought of the leader who led his people in a bitter and bloody battle.

I thought about the losses and regrets in my life.

Jiang Shi trembled and opened his eyes in the belly of the ferocious bird. He summoned all his strength, tore open the flesh and blood of the ferocious bird with his bare hands, and escaped.

The huge ferocious bird struggled wildly, but it was helpless against the ginger stone in its body. Eventually its stomach burst and it died with a wail.

When Jiang Shi rushed out covered in blood, he found that the ferocious bird had eaten him, secretly flew away from the battlefield, and ran to a place that was completely unfamiliar to him.

Jiang Shi's flesh and blood had been rotten, and his body was covered with the remaining digestive fluid of the ferocious bird, and it was almost impossible to recognize his original appearance.

He was already on the verge of death, and his flesh and blood were corroded in the belly of the ferocious bird. His body was shaking and he could not even stand steadily, as if he was going to fall down in the next moment.

But he gritted his teeth and burst out with unparalleled will.

The people and things that he couldn't let go of in his heart supported his almost dead body, and he actually forced himself to regain some strength.

Even the pain in my body seemed to subside.

He used the position of the sun to identify the direction of the battlefield and ran through the mountains and forests.

The bloody smell all over his body soon attracted some creatures to hunt him.

Jiang Shi maintained his last breath of bravery, fighting against beasts in the mountains and forests, and bursting out with pure savage power.

However, there were too many creatures targeting him...

In a hurry, Jiang Shi accidentally fell into a pit while running away.

It fell very deep and hit heavily on a pile of crystal clear and magical mineral soil.

The creatures that were chasing him seemed to dislike the mineral soil and were afraid of the deep pits.

He lingered on the edge of the pit for a while, then left unwillingly.

A ray of sunlight penetrated the mountains and forests, illuminating the pit.

Jiang Shi fell heavily and could no longer get up.

Blood was oozing from his mouth, his bones were all broken, and the blood dyed the mineral soil beneath him red. He was basically only breathing his last breath.

But I couldn't swallow this anger for a long time.

Jiang Shi was unwilling to give in... He faced the coldness of death and stared out of the pit. Although his vitality was fading rapidly, his will never faded.

"I...want to go back."

“We need to go back…!”

Jiang Shi has long been accustomed to facing death.

Father, mother, sister... and those tribesmen who died in the harsh winter every year...

He always told himself that this was inevitable and that no one could escape the fate of death and there was nothing that could be done about it.

But now... he wants to fight.

Because the Tianhuang tribe is still fighting, his people are still fighting desperately with the giant beasts, and his brothers... haven't come back yet!

Jiang Shi looked at the sky outside the pit and muttered to himself, as if asking for something from the non-existent sky.

A weak creature like an ant developed a rebellious mentality of asking for life from heaven.

However, how could the "sky" that did not yet exist respond to his call?

"All the gods... I beg you... let me go back..."

"Even if I have to suffer eternal pain, even if I have to endure the most vicious curse..."

In despair, Jiang Shi coughed up blood, his body trembling, and used the only finger he could move to draw the totem symbol in blood on the magical mineral soil beneath him that was flickering with a faint glow.

That is the totem of the sun god, the most worshipped god by the innate human race, representing all hope and life.

But... in the end, Jiang Shi was unable to draw the remaining totems.

His eyes finally dimmed.

......

Li Yuan only explored this much of the relatively clear and complete memory.

It also seemed to foreshadow Jiang Shi's death.

However, he restrained the manic and bloodthirsty Jiang Shi and continued to read along those fragmented and vague memories.

In Jiang Shi’s remaining memories.

I don’t know how long it has been.

He, or it, 'woke up' again.

It was still lying in the pit, but its body had not completely rotted away.

Those magical mineral soils seemed to have completely wrapped up its body after years of sedimentation.

However, at that time, it could not move at all and had no concrete thoughts, only a vague consciousness existed.

Waiting...a long and lonely wait.

Until one night, a big snake climbed down the pit, spitting out its tongue, and crawled next to Jiang Shi.

As if awakened by instinct, it suddenly broke free from some shackles, and its arms suddenly shot out from the soil and grabbed the big snake.

Then, driven by instinct, his other hand firmly grasped the snake and moved it in front of him.

It felt extremely empty inside, as if it was filled with the coldness of death... It wanted the life essence in the big snake to replenish its own weakness.

The big snake struggled desperately, as if it had anticipated the disaster.

However, he was held by a pair of hands with sharp claws and was unable to break free due to the terrifying force.

In the pit, it broke through the mineral soil and sat up suddenly.

Instinctively, it only wanted the life essence in the big snake, but... it didn't know how to do it.

Finally, it couldn't resist the call of the life force and bit the big snake.

At that moment, fangs suddenly grew out of its mouth, piercing the snake's scales and skin, greedily sucking the blood from its flesh.

The power of that kind of life essence seemed to be able to strangle death, making it intoxicated and bursting with an even stronger desire.

It didn't throw the snake away until it was completely dead and its blood had dried up.

Then, he tilted his head back slightly, his neck crackling with bones, and stared at the hole above his head, stunned for a long time...
