I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 250: Chapter 236 Half a Hide (Part Three) (4000 Words)

Having felt this power, Yan Junze was also invigorated and reached out to grab his own head.

At this moment, the skin on his head had many wrinkles, clearly resisting. Yan Junze grabbed one of the wrinkles tightly and yanked it outward.

However, just then, with a puff, another eerie flame appeared on the surface of the skin, adding to the previous flame that was about to go out, the two flames quickly stabilized.

The force of the skin merging with Yan Junze’s power began to strengthen once again.

From the Back-faced Woman’s perspective, Ke’er was holding her mother tightly, obviously using all her strength, her long hair intertwining with the Back-faced Woman’s strand by strand, winding so tightly that it made a noise like a rope being twisted.

Once again, the combined effort of mother and daughter resisted the skin burning with two eerie flames, preventing it from further merging with Yan Junze.

However, at this moment, Yan Junze felt an even greater pressure than before. Two strange forces were pressing on him, making his bones crackle. If it wasn’t for his Semi-Spirit Body foundation, he would have probably been crushed and immobilized long ago.

“I can’t keep this stalemate going.”

Yan Junze was very clear in his mind, he must act fast or, even with the assistance of the Back-faced Woman and her daughter, the damage to his body would be his own to bear.

He turned around and knelt down, stretching out his hands and frantically digging at the loosened soil.

This action clearly stimulated the attacking intensity of the skin, and with a puff, a third flame emerged from the surface of the skin.

In this moment, the skin above Yan Junze’s neck turned completely red, and the three flames burning became larger and larger, as if they were about to ignite his entire head at any moment.

At this moment, Yan Junze felt that his breathing was completely blocked, replaced by a wave of heat stifling his face, his vision turning fiery red, as though he could see nothing else.

But he still kept on quickly digging through the soil of the ground.

Soon, beneath the soil that had covered the stone trough, a black coffin was revealed.

Yan Junze could barely make out that this was a coffin. He reached out and tried to lift the lid, which was not sturdy. Under the strength of his Semi-Spirit Body, he lifted the lid and exposed a mummified corpse with its limbs curled up together.

This mummy was severely deformed, recognizable as a female only by the clump of hair stuck together, while the rest of the body had lost any distinct features.

Yan Junze had been unable to breathe, and, relying on the strength of his Semi-Spirit Body, he forced his body down and leaned over.

At that moment, the skin attached to him ignited a fourth flame without any hesitation. Simultaneously, Yan Junze saw, from the Back-faced Woman’s perspective, Ke’er start to scream “ya ya ya” again.

Their intertwined hair seemed to have been ignited by something, and smoke was already billowing out. @@novelbin@@

On Yan Junze’s side, the hair on his skin, especially near the head, was burnt in large quantities, curling and shriveling.

Just at that time, he had already come completely close to the mummy in the coffin.

The task prompt had explained that Mo Sheng’s corpse was the fatal weakness of this skin. Thus, approaching the corpse was currently the best option for Yan Junze.

Sure enough, shortly after approaching, the mummy in the coffin moved slightly and suddenly stretched out a withered right arm, making a mechanical clicking sound, firmly grabbing a wrinkle of the skin on Yan Junze’s head.

At the same time, this skin, which had been gaining the upper hand, burst into flames that suddenly spread across its entire surface and burned fiercely in the grasp of the mummy.

Amidst cries of agony, the mummy extended its other hand, and both hands held the struggling skin, eager to escape, letting it burn intensely without any sign of letting go.

At this moment, Yan Junze was completely awake. His vision was unobstructed, his breathing smooth, and the oppressive feeling in his body had disappeared.

However, the Semi-Spirit State had not yet faded. He quickly stepped back two paces, his gaze fixed on the flames burning inside the coffin.

Before long, the mummy had caught fire entirely, and the skin could no longer escape. After burning and melting, some parts had already stuck firmly to the mummy.

The flames were very strange, red mixed with a faint green, but even so, the skin was not burned immediately but continued to burn for about ten minutes or so.

When the flames extinguished on their own, Yan Junze approached for a closer look.

He found that the mummy in the coffin no longer retained a human shape, turning into a chunk of charcoal, and the skin was completely gone, having merged into the charcoal.

[Half of a Skin, hair-raising (high), completed, 1400 Different Dimension Energy points earned.]

Yan Junze withdrew his attention from the task completion alert in his mind and looked at everything before him. This half of a hide had been thoroughly burned in the coffin, and it could also be said to have died under Mo Sheng’s Revenge.

This entity was indeed too bizarre, not only elusive but even a suspected four-star Exorcist couldn’t capture it accurately, and it was capable of killing so many people, including low-level Exorcists, in such a short time by attaching to them.

If he were not a Semi-Spirit Body, the consequences would be unthinkable.

In fact, upon reflection, even the Semi-Spirit Body alone was unable to resist the skin. If it wasn’t for the desperate assistance of the Back-faced Woman and her daughter, Yan Junze would have been Rewound by now, as he wouldn’t have been able to stop the skin from corrupting him.

As the Semi-Spirit State gradually subsided, Yan Junze turned his head to look at the other areas around the pigpen. The other strangenesses that had been quietly watching moments ago had all vanished without a trace.
