Chapter Thirty-Three: Soul Extraction

  Suddenly, Fang Kai remembered the human-faced bird, remembered the scene where Qiao Mu's arm was broken, remembered the colorful coffin, and remembered the disgusting picture of Ruo Zi being pecked at by the human-faced bird... "Ah? This isn't real, this isn't real!" Fang Kai shook his head violently, his body constantly retreating backwards, even trembling slightly.

  "Kai Zi, are you okay? What's wrong?" Seeing this, Pang Dong hurriedly stood up and supported Fang Kai. At this time, Qiao Mu Si also ran over, he saw Fang Kai's pale face, dazed expression, and his lips muttering to himself. Could it be that there's something wrong with the pattern? Thinking of this, Qiao Mu Si couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Kai, did you discover something?"

  What was discovered? What did I discover? — Suddenly, a flash of lightning tore through the sky, igniting a bright light in the dark mind. That's right, the most important part is this, and the child will be saved!

  "Jomos, thank you so much, thanks to your reminder." Fang Kaiteng stretched out one hand and tightly hugged Jomos. Next, he smiled and handed the body of Ruo Zi over to Pang Dong and Jomos.

  Pang Dong scratched his head, puzzled: "Kai, what's this..." Before Pang Dong could finish speaking, Fang Kai made a silencing gesture. Under the gaze of Pang Dong and Qiao Mu Si, Fang Kai took out a pulse cannon and fixed it at the bottom of the huge rock. Aiming at the direction, Fang Kai fired a heavy shot. The silver-white energy bullet shot towards the top of the cave like a comet, making a whistling sound as it brushed past the air.

  Not only that, Fang Kai also took out a laser shovel and inputted a string of command symbols on it. Immediately after, the laser shovel emitted an extremely dazzling light, and a huge laser beam shot out, targeting the stalactite hanging from the top of the cave. Fang Kai didn't make a move, nor did Pang Dong notice anything unusual, because above the cave was actually suspended a black stone pillar.

  "Is Kai crazy? What is he doing?" Fat Dong had some doubts, but didn't dare to say it out loud. He glanced at Qiao Mu Si and found that his eyes were shining brightly. "Forget it, forget it, two lunatics." Fat Dong sighed and shook his head. With his IQ, it was really hard for him to understand the thinking of his two teammates.

  But in the next second, he understood.

  The shell and laser beam moved extremely fast, but the expected explosion sound was slow to come. Dong was slightly puzzled, lifted his head, and in an instant, he opened his mouth wide, unable to speak for a long time.

  What do you think he saw?

  "I said your ancestors, what the hell did he see!" Fat Dong swallowed hard, subconsciously pinched his chin, and a sharp pain instantly transmitted to his heart. "Damn it, I'm not dreaming..." Dazed, Fat Dong stared blankly ahead.

  A familiar scene has appeared again, yes, the three people, along with the soulless Ruo Zi, have returned to the Twelve Constellations space. However, although the space is still there, the scene of the twelve constellations launching a joint attack is gone.

  In the vast space, there was only a gigantic Demon Eye. The Demon Eye was located in the center, with dark red blood dripping from its edges, and a deep, mysterious whirlpool in the middle of the eye. The entire image of the Demon Eye matched that of Horus's Eye! Moreover, around the Demon Eye, it seemed like many semi-transparent "soul bodies" were wandering about. Waves of mournful cries came out from these soul bodies, as if they were the Demon Eye's sacrificial offerings?

  What shocked Fang Kai and the others even more was that behind the Demon Eye, it seemed to be connected to something familiar - the Golden Coffin!! So, wasn't this the curse of Hu Fa Lao's divine power, presented through the Eye of Horus? The final destination of the swallowed soul, could it be in that mysterious coffin?

  Fang Kai waved his hand, signaling Hua Dong and Qiao Mu to put down Ruo Zi. He glanced at the golden coffin and said in a low voice: "I think all this is the work of Horus's eye, and the source is in the Pharaoh's coffin. We must be careful. Do you see those wandering souls? There must be Ruo Zi among them. As long as we snatch back Ruo Zi's soul from the magic eye, she can come back to life." Just thinking about that gentle yet stubborn face, even Fang Kai, who was normally calm and collected, had a slightly trembling voice due to excitement.

  Fat Dong suddenly realized and nodded, according to Fang Kai's words, the heavy spaces and things they experienced may all be illusions derived from the magic eye. Even so, the golden coffin is the real master! And all of this must be the crystallization of the wisdom of the Earth ancestors, who used advanced technology to create the legendary cursed divine power.

  "Kai, Dong. I have a wild guess, but let's not talk about it now, let's discuss it after we save Ruo Zi." The demonic eye, no matter how sinister, relies on the gravitational pull generated by the vortex to entangle many souls around it. As long as they use the "Penetrating Separation Crystal", they can peel off the souls from the demonic eye and rescue Ruo Zi. However, there is a prerequisite: during the process of extracting the soul, they cannot be disturbed by external interference, and Fang Kai and the others are all aware of this point.

  Time was of the essence, and with a tacit understanding, the three exchanged a glance before springing into action. Qiao Mu took out the universal medicine, preparing to mix the reagents, while Fang Kai and Pang Dong wielded their weapons, flanking the Demon's Eye from both sides to ensure a safe process.

  But at this moment, the golden coffin underwent a strange change, and the entire magic eye began to collapse!

  As the Demon's Eye collapsed, the vengeful spirits wandering nearby were sucked in, all the way to the Golden Coffin. The situation was urgent, and Jorms hastily prepared a potion, sprinkling it onto the Demon's Eye. Instantly, the wailing grew even more ear-piercing. On one side was the whirlpool's pull, on the other was the "Permeable Separation Crystal" pulling in the opposite direction, creating a repulsive force between them. Some vengeful spirits couldn't withstand it and split in two. Their heads entered the Golden Coffin, but their bodies remained suspended in mid-air.

  These vengeful spirits looked like they were from ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, their physical bodies had long since turned to ashes, and staying in the world would only bring more suffering. However, having brutally deprived innocent people's souls of their integrity, Fang Kai and others couldn't help but feel a little guilty. But for the sake of saving people, they couldn't worry about that now.

  "Fatso, quickly open the laser and add the polymerized volume to shoot it into the vortex eye, blocking the connection between the coffin and the magic eye." Fat Dong and Fang Kai had a tacit understanding, and after listening to only half of it, Fat Dong picked up the shovel and pressed several buttons on it at high speed, releasing all the laser energy and shooting it into the center of the vortex. At the same time, Fang Kai rushed to the side of the laser pillar and anxiously browsed through the soul bodies stuck on the magic eye.

  Fang Kai knew that the energy in the laser scoop was limited, and now it had all been released, it couldn't last much longer. "Not this one, not this one..." Fang Kai browsed through while silently counting, his face gradually revealing an impatient expression. More than ten seconds had passed, but he still hadn't found Ruo Zi's soul body, and the laser pillar began to loosen up, the solid whirlpool slowly rotating again.

  Was Yu Zi's soul trapped in the coffin? Just as Fang Kai was about to lose hope, a familiar face appeared before his eyes! The face had its eyes tightly closed, looking very peaceful and gentle, enough to make one's heart drunk - it was precisely the Yu Zi he had been searching for!

  "Thank God", Fang Kai let out a sigh of relief, and immediately raised the laser shovel, using the laser to cut the blocks on all four sides of Ruo Zi's soul body. Fang Kai could see that now Ruo Zi's soul body and magic eye had merged, and the material base around her was the source of her life.

  Fang Kai didn't even dare to breathe, he vowed that this was the most serious cut he had ever made in his life. In a state of suspended animation, Fang Kai was like a delicate craftsman, cutting slowly and steadily on the magic eye, bit by bit. Finally, under his unrelenting efforts, the cutting technique was left with only one stroke.

  But just then, Pang Dong let out a cry of alarm: "Not good, the energy of the laser beam is almost gone!" Fang Kai's face turned stern, and he felt that the whirlpool was about to break free from its restraints. Once the whirlpool gained freedom, all their previous efforts would be in vain; if Zi Yu's soul body were sucked into the golden coffin, it would be as difficult to retrieve it safely as climbing to heaven.

  Fang Kai wants to stop it.

  At this critical moment, Fang Kai stretched out his palm and inserted it into the laser beam that was used for cutting. Fang Kai only inserted half of it, but the lightning-fast reversal caused half of the laser to change direction, shooting directly into the center of the vortex. However, the cost was heavy. The material of the glove Fang Kai wore was unique, but after withstanding a series of events and now facing the powerful laser, it couldn't help but show some signs of damage.

  In an instant, the glove melted away, revealing Fang Kai's tawny skin. "Ah," Fang Kai winced in pain, instinctively withdrawing his hand, only to see a palm full of fresh blood and a blurry piece of flesh. It was this blood that bought Fang Kai a crucial moment for his cutting action.

  Before the vortex fully recovered, Fang Kai successfully cut off the base of the magic eye with the "Yin Zuo" soul body. At the same time, the vortex completely contracted into a spherical object, inlaid at one corner of the golden coffin. Until then, the three could still see the high-speed rotating dark matter inside the sphere.

  Fat Dong swallowed a mouthful, patted Fang Kai's shoulder: "Brother, you're really fierce, actually daring to put your palm into the laser beam, too damn awesome." Fat Dong gave Fang Kai a thumbs up, solemnly respectful. The latter smiled wryly, glanced at his right hand, and drop by drop of bright red blood dripped from it onto the ground, blooming into plum blossoms.

  "Kai, you're really too reckless. If there's even a slight mistake, your whole hand will be ruined, sigh." Qiu Mu took out some medical supplies and helped Fang Kai disinfect and bandage his wound. After simple treatment, Fang Kai's injury was finally brought under control.

  So the next step is the most exciting moment. However, after using "permeation and condensation crystallization" to separate Yu Zuo's soul body, the three of them were stunned. They didn't know what method could be used to make Yu Zuo's soul return to her physical body. In order to reduce the loss of soul energy, they re-sealed the soul in the base again.

  "Hmm, Ke Zi, don't be anxious, I think to let a soul return to its body, wouldn't we need to use the ancestors' secrets about sacrifices and divination? Or perhaps, use the ancient Western summoning techniques of Earth?" Pang Dong scratched his head, half-closing his eyes, staring at the square base, and casually spat out these absurd words.
