The top priority now was to remove all the rotting flesh.
But he did not carry a dagger on him, what to do?
Song Yun got up, looked around the ancestral hall and saw a small knife wrapped in sharkskin on the offering table under the light.
Heaven hadn't abandoned him after all!
Song Yun drew the knife, its chilling blade reflected the candlelight, brightening the ominous space somewhat.
He heated the knife over the candle flame as a form of disinfection, then squatted down and inserted a short wooden stick into Wen Shu's mouth, to prevent him from accidentally biting off his own tongue unconsciously.
With everything in place, Song Yun's demeanor transformed, resembling a divine healer ready to save lives. His knife rose and fell decisively, slicing away piece after piece of the putrid flesh from Wen Shu's arm.
Gradually, blood began to seep out on Wen Shu's arm, revealing healthy pink flesh once more.
Song Yun let out a sigh of relief, grateful that he had intervened in time, otherwise, if the poison had reached the bone, they would need to scrap the bone to treat the injury!
He grabbed a handful of ashes from the incense burner and sprinkled them evenly on Wen Shu's wound. The incense ash had the effect of reducing inflammation, relieving pain and stopping bleeding, and before long Wen Shu's body, which had been in a coma, slowly returned to normal temperature.
Taking advantage of this moment, Song Yun began to observe his surroundings. The village's ancestral hall covered a wide area, easily seven or eight hundred square meters, divided into inner and outer halls.
The inner hall is generally where the village chief and the elders discuss important matters, while the outer hall houses the ancestral tablets of the village.
"Bang bang bang!"
The demonic woman outside, having freed herself from her restraints, continued her relentless assault on the door. Song Yun gripped the knife tightly, ready to take a life if she dared to burst in!
"Woo woo woo!"
Suddenly, the sound of horns echoed throughout the village, and the villagers who had been relentlessly attacking people began to walk towards the source of the sound with vacant eyes.
Inside the hall, Song Yun was surprised to find that the sound of the horns was drawing nearer, then it entered the inner hall and abruptly stopped. Countless villagers were pounding at the door, and even the staunch ancestral hall seemed to be struggling under the assault.
"Damn it!"
Song Yun picked up the unconscious Wen Shu and ran towards the inner hall.
The interior of the inner hall was meticulously arranged, and after passing through numerous corridors, Song Yun arrived at the entrance of a room.
"Who's out there!"
An elderly voice came from within.
Song Yun frowned; unknown people lay ahead, while crazed villagers were chasing from behind. He was truly caught between a rock and a hard place!
The mummified corpse stood up and moved its body a bit, the dehydration of many years made it difficult for him to properly control his strength.
"What if I refuse?"
The mummy let out a cold laugh, and with a whistle from its fingers to its mouth, countless insects swarmed towards Song Yun, ready to swallow him instantly.
"Ding! The system was blocked by some factors just now, does the host need to change the rewards with different events and locations?"
The mechanical voice of the system rang out, and Song Yun didn't have time to worry about that, quickly he clicked on the yes button.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for a successful change, you are awarded a set of Protective Body Technique!"
Instantly, a transparent film stretched out from Song Yun's body, expanding infinitely.
Soon, this thin film became a spherical barrier, holding off countless insects outside.
The scene surprised the mummified corpse, which clapped its hands in admiration, "It seems you're not an average young man."
"Less nonsense! Die!"
Song Yun, behind the barrier, thrust his knife straight towards the skin of the mummy.
"Clang!"
The knife collided with the mummy's skin, making a metallic sound.
Song Yun frowned and stared intently at the other's every move, with his Protective Body Technique, and the enemy impervious to blades, neither could do anything to the other!
"Young man, if you return the holy relic hidden by Wen Shu to me, I can grant you the path to immortality, eternal wealth and honor!"
The mummy pondered as he looked at Song Yun.
Immortality?
That kind of thing only seems to happen in fantasy novels!
How could there be a path to immortality in modern society!
The mummy seemed to notice Song Yun's disdain as he shook his head, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe, but I have lived for more than three hundred years, I am the best proof of that!"
Old pervert!
Song Yun cursed inwardly, then asked, "If you are so powerful, why are you so obsessed with a holy relic? Or to put it another way, could it be that this holy relic is the key to your immortality?"
"Hahaha, astute young man."
The mummy's throat let out a harsh laugh, nodding, "Indeed, the holy relic has the function you imagined, but..."
