Chapter 249: Chapter 235 Half a Hide (Part Two) (5000 Words)
He walked a few steps to the outside of the pigpen, pushing open the half-person tall gate and entered.
Since the old house was no longer inhabited, there was so lingering filth inside the pigpen, but no severe sll, just a slight stench.
Yan Junze paid no attention to this; he looked around carefully, not missing any corner.
Just when he arrived in front of the trough where pigs were fed, a black figure of a woman sat up from the bottom of the trough. She was rely a soul shadow, panicking in the face of Yan Junze’s powerful Semi-Spirit and the oppressive force of the Skin, she imdiately floated out upon sitting up and hid in a nearby cattle shed.
There were other strangenesses hidden inside the cattle shed, but upon seeing the woman seek refuge, they seed to fear her soul like specters, hastily fleeing from the shed, keeping their distance.
In Yan Junze’s eyes, this woman’s level of strangeness was probably that of a high-level Wandering Spirit, not reaching Sculpting Spirit.
As for the other strangenesses, they seed quite ordinary, with very few even reaching the level of a middle-rank Wandering Spirit, so it was no wonder they feared the woman.
However, looking at the woman’s face, she seed very young. Yan Junze did not recognize Mo Sheng’s features; he was rely speculating at this point.
After the woman fled, he grabbed the pig feed trough on the ground and violently flipped it over.
In these farmhouses, the troughs used to feed pigs were typically made of stone, about one ter wide, 20 to 30 centiters high, with an oval pit in the middle, quite heavy.
But for Yan Junze, lifting such a trough was effortless; the trough he threw out made a loud noise as it hit the ground outside the pigpen.
The spot where the trough had been revealed an oval pit; the dirt inside was loose, apparently not in its original state.
Just as Yan Junze was about to dig through this soil, the intense stabbing pain in his head suddenly intensified, causing him to cry out in pain.
The Skin that had been wrapped around his head, stubbornly contending with the power of the Semi-Spirit, seed to reach its peak at this mont. A massive force enveloped Yan Junze’s entire head, neck, and chest, applying imnse pressure.
The hairs on the surface of Yan Junze’s skin instantly tightened, his resistance simultaneously maximizing.
However, the power of resistance was clearly inferior to the strength of the Skin at the mont. The feeling of rging with the skin grew more and more apparent, and Yan Junze’s consciousness was suppressed to the lowest point.
In a daze, he felt as if he were floating in space, his entire body no longer his own.
His breathing was severely constricted, his brain oxygen-starved and chaotic, a buzzing noise filled his head, and his consciousness slowly ebbed away.
Despite Yan Junze’s reluctance, his body seed to have given up resistance, allowing the Skin to manipulate him as it pleased.
If he did not Rewind at this mont, the Spaceti Atlas might activate the “Automatic Rewind on Near-Death” on its own.
Just as the thought of Rewinding began to erge…
“Ke… Ke… Keer…”
A husky, discontinuous voice suddenly echoed in Yan Junze’s mind. The voice was not his own, nor was it emitted through his mouth by the Skin, and neither did it co from the ordinary strangenesses nearby, but from the Back-faced Woman.
The Back-faced Woman clearly sensed that Yan Junze’s current state was at its nadir, and despite her own strength, even with continuous support to Yan Junze, she was unable to effectively rescue him.
This also indicated that in a confrontation only between the Back-faced Woman and the Skin, it would be the Skin that dominated. The standoff had persisted for so long partly because Yan Junze’s own Semi-Spirit Body was exerting effort as well.
But now, as the Skin suddenly unleashed all its power, the deadlock began to break.
From the viewpoint of the other ordinary strangenesses, Yan Junze’s upper body seed to be constricted by an invisible force, his skin surface beginning to turn deeper shades, followed by a flare of fire.
This fire emanated from the Half of a Skin, the area that had previously been wounded by Guo Youliang. It seed as though it was burning itself out of sheer exertion, causing flas to surge from the wounded spot first.
Upon the ignition of the fla, the strange little fire didn’t spread across all the skin but danced only at that single spot.
However, the appearance of the fla made the Skin’s power increase yet again.
At this mont, the voice of the Back-faced Woman reached Yan Junze’s mind.
Ke… Ke? That must be a call for Ke’er.
Yan Junze clearly knew that the Back-faced Woman’s throat had suffered severe damage, as her neck had been completely twisted, essentially ruining her vocal cords, which made it impossible for her to articulate sounds properly.
When he first t Ke’er, she had uttered the sa sound.
Through the Back-faced Woman’s perspective, Yan Junze saw that since the Skin ignited the fla and began to exert force, she had ceased to stand, choosing instead to sit on the ground.
Shortly after the Back-faced Woman called for Ke’er, a red figure appeared at the entrance of a streetside shop whose door had been destroyed. Ke’er glanced at her mother, uttered an inquisitive “Eh,” and quickly scrambled toward her, still using her hands and feet.
Although still young, Yan Junze considered Ke’er’s Perception to be almost unmatched by any strangeness he had encountered.
Ke’er rapidly climbed into her mother’s embrace, hugging the Back-faced Woman closely. To Yan Junze, because their abilities were interconnected at that mont, he also felt a sweet sensation of being embraced by Ke’er.
He hadn’t felt such sweetness in a long ti.
“Eh!”
Ke’er tilted her head, looking through her back at her mother’s eyes. From those grey, turbid eyes, she seed to make a new discovery.
Just as Ke’er was about to continue with her quizzical “Eh,” the Back-faced Woman spoke again, “Ke… Ke…”
The next second, Ke’er snapped back to reality, tilting her head so that her filthy hair intertwined completely with her mother’s long hair.
At the sa ti, Ke’er’s expression turned fierce, her round little face taking on an aggressive look as she yelled, “Yah yah yah!”
The mother-daughter Bond Evolution suddenly unfolded!
Imnse power soared once again, quickly catching up to the Skin’s invasive force. The eerie little fla clinging tightly to Yan Junze’s skin shuddered, nearly extinguished.
This ti, when the Back-faced Woman and Ke’er combined their strengths, they even displayed a power capable of fighting back against their opponent.
