Chapter 265 The Arrival of the "White Moon"

The light emitted by the lantern held high in the air gradually narrowed, eventually converging into a beam that struck the soul fire in the demon wolf's eye sockets.

Perhaps sensing an extremely powerful resonance of soul power, Seren emerged from Latis's body, grasped his hand, and looked solemnly at the source of the resonance.

Under the lantern's light, the soul fire in the darkness flickered intermittently, as if struggling, the frequency of the flickering motion varying from fast to slow, before finally coming to a standstill.

“…Failed?”

Latis felt the mist still swirling beneath his feet, and clenched his fist, muttering to himself.

"Fortunately, I had already noted down their locations and the direction they went through the fog... While the fog hasn't gotten any thicker, there's still a chance to save them..."

He stared at the lantern-bearing skeleton and the soul fire in the darkness, a faint hope rising in his heart.

However, the soul fire remained motionless, as if it had already failed. Latis waited for a long time, then let out a heavy breath and said to those around him:

"We must hurry and rescue them..."

Just then, a muffled cough interrupted his words.

"Cough cough, cough... Damn, I just passed out from the rush, haha, didn't take too long, right?"

The wolf spirit's incoherent voice came from the darkness. Latis was silent for a moment, then sighed and said helplessly:

"You're still alive, Wolf Spirit? The Bone Spirit has already activated the power of the lantern, focusing on blessing you. How are you? Did you achieve the effect you wanted?"

"I feel it now."

A satisfied voice came from within the massive skull. It uttered a few words in a strong, clear voice, and then said:

"It feels so good to be exposed to bright light. After being in this dark and damp place for so long, it's rare to see such light. It even feels like the moss on my penis is going to die from the sun... Dude, do you know what that feels like? Scratching it is so incredibly satisfying!"

"?"

Latis gave an expression like an old man using a cell phone on the subway. His scalp tingled, and he couldn't help but scratch his head, but it was no use.

"So it wasn't this head after all..."

He then realized that he had been influenced by the wolf spirit's abstract words and had even felt that tingling sensation. He thought for a moment, glanced at Sai Leng who was staring at him curiously, and subtly turned to the side, scratching his crotch.

hum!

"Holy crap, what the hell is that noise?"

The sudden buzzing sound startled Latis, who broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly checked his body and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it wasn't Niu Ge who had exploded.

"what exactly is it……"

Suddenly, Latis seemed to sense something and looked up, his gaze clearly piercing through the thin mist in front of him, landing on the extinguished soul fire.

"...Wolf Spirit?"

He paused for a moment, then looked at the illusory bone spirit that had emerged from the lantern-carrying skeleton and asked, as if seeking confirmation:

"Is it all over?"

Although it was a question, he no longer needed to answer it. The air around him had dried up rapidly, and the diffused white moonlight returned to the skeleton of the demon wolf, where it would remain under the restraint of soul power.

"Where is Wolf Spirit?"

Looking at the elderly Bone Spirit, whose expression had become so blurred that it was impossible to discern his true nature, Latis had already confirmed his answer.

"He came suddenly, and he left just as suddenly...that guy."

……

[During the journey to the ground, the elderly skeletal spirit recounts everything he perceived in that illusory spiritual realm.]

[It turns out that although the soul may take on forms such as humanoid, bird-like, or mermaid shapes, seemingly just the corresponding creatures becoming transparent, it is essentially a collection of countless pieces of information and consciousness.]

[In the words of the old bone spirit, the feeling within the soul... seems somewhat similar to being surrounded by the white moon.]

[While this may sound exaggerated, you've come to understand that the soul is essentially a chaotic ocean of information, and the merging of souls is somewhat similar to the mutual flow of information. To a certain extent, it leaves behind some "information backups" within each other's souls... Hmm, it sounds a bit like an exchange of bodily fluids.]

"No wonder the wolf spirit spoke so vulgarly..." the old bone spirit muttered helplessly, "I thought he really was doing those strange things..."

Even so, he still concealed some specific physical sensations, saying guiltily that you'd find out for yourself later.

"He's hiding it my ass!" you thought to yourself, speechless. You'd already experienced those feelings a little bit during the pranks Haiyue'er and Sai Leng played on you! It's nothing special!

Aside from these experiences, the elderly Bone Spirit also remarked that it was no wonder the Wolf Spirit said this ability was unique to Bone Spirits; it truly was due to the Bone Spirit's inherent nature.

[As you already knew, the Bone Spirit is rooted in this long river of life and death. Unless its soul power is completely dissipated, it can transform into a withered tree rooted to the earth, even amidst the most turbulent white moon.]

Unexpectedly, during the old bone spirit's experience, this ability allowed him to connect with the spirit and bones of the lantern-bearing skeleton, enabling his soul to enter the lantern-bearing skeleton's soul very stably, thereby releasing soul power to activate her light.

In other words, the fusion of spirits is like water dissolving in water—ethereal and elusive, and one might even lose oneself in bliss. Fortunately, the connection between the bone spirit and the skeletal body allowed him to regain his senses smoothly. He simply did what he was supposed to do and then left.

As for the wolf spirit...

The old bone spirit said that the wolf spirit was not a bone spirit; it could not grasp the bones of the demon wolf to stabilize its mind, and therefore could only rely on its own perseverance to remain conscious during the merging of souls.

But the spirit of the demon wolf is ancient and vast; its own spirit may already be tens of millions of times larger than that of a wolf spirit, not to mention the countless memories contained within its skeleton.

Under such circumstances, for a small spirit like the wolf to control such a massive body is perhaps more difficult than a monkey typing out the complete works of Shakespeare on a typewriter.

Your discussion ended so casually; no one could imagine how the wolf spirit had done it, nor could anyone know its relationship with that enormous demonic wolf.

[Perhaps it really was a sexual or romantic relationship, who knows? In any case, Wolf Spirit won't jump out to refute you.]

[Perhaps because the wolf spirit had uttered so many profanities earlier, as you flew downwards, you occasionally felt a hoarse, affectionate greeting traveling back and forth along the wolf's skeleton.]

"What a weird wolf spirit..." you muttered to yourself, asking Sai Leng to write down the nicknames for the demon wolf and wolf spirit on the little gray flag.

Unbeknownst to many, this once vibrant banner of soul power has transformed into a densely written, gray-black flag. One wonders if the acting city lord of Void Spirit City, when he put it away, ever imagined it would one day bear so much weight.

……

……

Before I knew it, the fog had completely dissipated, and the world was crystal clear, with the distant Sankturui Mountain now clearly visible.

Latis landed on the ground, watching the lantern-bearing skeleton and her teammates rushing towards their companions, and smiled.

An elderly skeletal spirit, its body still indistinct, floated beside him, observing the scene, and spoke in a muffled yet warm voice:

"In the end, after all that trouble, I realized that the most important thing is the fellow travelers I met along the way."

Latis scratched his head, about to say something, but then thought of the spirit girls who had accompanied him through unimaginable distances. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded in agreement.

Along the way, he didn't expect to gain anything, but unexpectedly gained a lot. At first, he just wanted to take Sai Leng out of this desolate planet, but later he gradually gained Hai Yue'er, Lan Ling, the spirit residing in his body, and other people who only left traces of their existence.

"Is this what the journey is like? It's truly surreal."

“Who says otherwise?” The elderly bone spirit squinted his eyes, now blurred into mosaics, and gazed at his companions, saying with a smile:

"But its destination is also incredibly alluring!"

……

The wolf's skeleton began to move forward again. This time, Latis finally saw clearly that the chasm in the ground was indeed dug out by the wolf's claws, and the wolf was pacing back and forth on the plain, leaving claw marks on the ground.

Without the thick fog obscuring it, the enormous wolf skeleton no longer seemed terrifying. Watching it wander across the plains, digging holes, left one momentarily stunned...

Latis scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, and suddenly felt an urge to ask the wolf spirit whether this demonic wolf was a wolf or a husky with impure bloodlines. He shook his head and looked in the direction of the elderly bone spirit, who was already recounting to his skeleton mistress what had happened after she was separated from her teammates.

"time to go."

Latis touched his bone wings, feeling the strength he had previously expended slowly recovering, but without the lantern's support, his condition had indeed declined.

He looked around and suddenly seemed to sense something, looking back in the direction he had come from.

The gray planet of Starsea Sun had almost completely crossed the cliff from which they had come. Its uneven surface was close to the edge of the sky. Under the cover of clouds, the planet only revealed a hazy shape, but it made Latis tense up instantly.

Yes, when the planet rises directly overhead, the torrent of the "white moon" will surge forth!

His body tensed for a second, then he clenched his fist. After experiencing so many events, he had no doubts about the road ahead and could just go for it!

Latis walked to the old bone spirit's side, coughed lightly, interrupting their conversation, and said:

"Hey, sorry to interrupt your conversation, but I want to tell you that I'm about to hit the road again. You should hurry up and get going too, so that this last leg of your journey doesn't become a regret in your whole trip!"

He pointed to the planet that was almost directly overhead, a planet like the Sword of Damocles, both a death knell and the most coveted destination for mountaineers. This mixture of anticipation and fear formed the unique emotions of the challengers, and Latis believed that the team before him would also be a strong ally.

"……Your Mightiness."

After a moment of silence, the elderly skeletal spirit placed her hand on the lantern-bearing skeleton's shoulder, exchanged a glance with her, and said:

"What we promised before was..."

"Oh, there's no need for that."

Latis scratched his head and decisively rejected the idea of ​​taking the Lantern Skeleton's soul bone. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"I have received many gifts from the challengers along the way. I am helping you this time for two reasons: first, I also need to get through the dense fog myself, and second, I want to give back to the creatures of the Bone Spirit Realm. It is not for any reward."

The old bone spirit was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. With his laughter, his entire body began to become ethereal in the air.

"...What are you laughing at?"

Latis frowned. The old bone spirit's current state reminded him of the female bone spirit he had previously encountered with the birdman and the female traveler, and a bad feeling immediately arose in his heart.

"I can't go on."

The elderly bone spirit calmed down and said:

“I originally intended to pour all my soul power into the contractor’s soul… after all, this was our best chance to reach the top, but she refused.”

The elderly bone spirit and the lantern-bearing skeleton beside her exchanged a glance. Seeing her nod, the elderly bone spirit sighed and said with a smile:

"Actually, after our souls have merged, I no longer need to argue with her. I know she also wants to see the view from the mountaintop with me."

"You're making it sound like you're going on vacation."

Latis shook his head and chuckled to himself.

"Of course, life in this world is like a journey, no matter where you go." The elderly bone spirit nodded in agreement and said:

"We don't have much desire for the outside world. After spending so much time in this world, what we really want to see most is the view from the top of the mountain."

"Life between heaven and earth is like a journey, is it?"

Latis stroked his chin, and said thoughtfully:

"I understand, so what are you planning to do..."
