170: A chance to revive Zimmer
A flash of white light passed, like day turning into night.
At this moment, Ji Mo was left with only a head.
His body below the shoulders had completely melted away.
But a faint smile still hung on his face.
Only, the clear eyes had turned to ash.
Without Lin Ling needing to say more, Zhou Mengyan immediately activated Holy Healing Light.
However, her usually unfailing SSS-grade healing spell had no effect whatsoever this time.
Lin Ling held Ji Mo's head, tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Lin Ling, Ji Mo is dead."
Zhou Mengyan sobbed.
"There must be a way, he can definitely be saved!" Lin Ling roared.
"Can you please be more rational? No healing spell can bring the dead back to life; if it could, it wouldn't be a healing spell anymore."
Zhou Mengyan hugged Lin Ling tightly from behind.
These words made Lin Ling's gaze somewhat vacant, but he still refused to believe that Ji Mo was just gone.
And at this moment.
A chilling aura suddenly descended from the sky.
"Hehehe… Your feelings are quite deep, aren't they? Since you miss him so much, how about I send you to meet him?"
The moment this voice appeared, the surrounding temperature instantly plummeted by more than ten degrees.
A shadowy black arrow, carrying a fierce wind, shot towards Lin Ling's glabella.
The arrow transformed into a ghoul covered in black viscous fluid, biting towards Lin Ling's head amidst swirling black mist.
Such a bizarre scene caught everyone off guard.
Zhou Mengyan's pupils constricted, and she instinctively used a purification spell, but it had no effect at all.
The others not far away were even more at a loss as to how to react.
Just as the ghoul's gaping mouth was about to bite down, a small, delicate hand suddenly extended from Lin Ling's head.
Golden light shone on this small hand, and a beam of light directly pierced through the ghoul and shot towards the Nether Scorpion suspended in the air.
Puff, puff…
The ghoul instantly vanished like a bubble, while a hole, transparent from front to back, appeared on the Nether Scorpion's chest in the air.
Bang.
The Nether Scorpion fell from the sky, directly hitting the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Zhou Mengyan looked at the delicate pink arm on Lin Ling's head, finding it even more unbelievable than seeing the black arrow transform into a ghoul.
"Is there a little loli living inside Lin Ling's body?"
Just as Zhou Mengyan was feeling confused, the arm suddenly blurred.
The next second, a little loli, looking about eight or nine years old, appeared beside Lin Ling.
Seeing this little loli, Zhou Mengyan's watery eyes widened even further.
And at this moment, there was one person even more horrified than her.
That was the Nether Scorpion lying on the ground.
She was severely injured at this moment, but she was not dead.
She simply couldn't imagine how such a small loli could injure her so badly with just one finger.
The Nether Scorpion's strength was simply incomparable to that of an ordinary Seven Turns Professional.
She was only two levels away from Eight-turn, and now she had the power to fight against some Eight-turn Grand Magus.
But now she had lost so completely.
Too many trump cards hadn't even had a chance to be used before she was heavily injured to critical health.
The horror in her eyes had reached an extreme.
At this moment, she only wanted to escape from here, to escape this bizarre country.
The Nether Scorpion tried to turn her head and look in one direction; there was another scorpion hidden in the shadows there.
Whenever the Twelve Scorpions moved, two would always appear simultaneously.
It was just their rule that one Nether Scorpion and one Shadow Scorpion would appear, with the one on the surface responsible for direct action.
The one in the shadows was responsible for supervision; once an accident occurred, the Shadow Scorpion would make a judgment based on the situation on site.
Either support the Nether Scorpion, or kill the Nether Scorpion to silence her.
At this moment, the Nether Scorpion's eyes were full of pleading; as long as her companion in the shadows was willing to act, she would quickly recover to peak combat strength.
But at this moment, her companion in the distant building had no intention of acting at all.
The Ice Silkworm King's power also deterred him.
Shadow Scorpion Antonia.
Another powerful individual among the Twelve Scorpions.
He stood by the window, a pair of sharp eyes staring intently at the Ice Silkworm King below.
For some reason, he had a feeling that this little loli's power might have already exceeded the scope of humans.
…
And at this moment, Lin Ling suddenly thought of a way to keep Ji Mo alive.
"Should I use Undead Overture?"
Undead Overture could restore the physical body of the deceased, but the soul could only retain a small amount of its own consciousness.
Once used, Ji Mo would become Lin Ling's Spiritual Slave, inseparable from him for life.
However…
Would that Ji Mo still be Ji Mo?
"Master, he can still be saved."
A clear voice suddenly rang out in Lin Ling's mind.
This voice made Lin Ling suddenly awaken.
He looked at the Ice Silkworm King, his eyes full of hope.
"His soul has not yet dissipated. I can compress the ice domain to freeze his soul. If you can find a wood-type Grand Magus with mental power reaching 10,000, his wood-type Forbidden Spell might allow him to revive from a withered state."
The little loli looked at Lin Ling somewhat pitifully, her voice ringing out again.
"Mental power reaching 10,000? Wood-type Forbidden Spell?"
Lin Ling stared intently at the little loli.
"Yes, Master, please make a decision quickly. My current state cannot frequently consume divine power. If I compress the ice domain to freeze his soul, I won't be able to help you if you encounter danger again."
The little loli said again.
"Help me freeze him. How much time do I have to find a wood-type Forbidden Spell?" Lin Ling asked.
"Seven days. Within seven days, his soul will be intact when I open the ice domain. Once seven days pass, his soul will dissipate when I open the ice domain. Unless you can find a space-type Grand Magus or Holy Magic Guide, who has a space confinement skill that can confine space the moment I open the domain, then the frozen soul can remain, but it cannot exceed 15 days at most." The little loli said.
Lin Ling nodded, "Thank you. Oh, what's your name?"
The little loli suddenly pouted, as if she was angry that Lin Ling only now thought to ask her name.
Lin Ling raised his hand and ruffled the little one's head, instantly turning the Ice Silkworm King's azure long hair into a bird's nest.
"You…" The Ice Silkworm King was choked with indignation, "I am the great Ice Silkworm God King, how can you be so rude to me?"
"What's your name? Answer me, this is an order from your Master!" Lin Ling suddenly said, his face stern.
The Ice Silkworm King blinked her big eyes, saying with a wronged expression: "Yes, Master, my name is Steven Eakes."
Lin Ling raised his hand to smooth her messy hair, and said seriously: "Thank you, Eakes."
The Ice Silkworm King was somewhat flustered by the sudden tenderness, but she quickly recovered.
She grabbed at the air, and a phantom was pulled out by her.
Ice laws gathered on her small hand, and in the blink of an eye, they enveloped the phantom, turning it into an ice ball. The phantom inside was none other than Ji Mo, Ji Black Dog.
Eakes grabbed the frozen soul of Ji Mo and directly pressed it into his remaining head.
A brilliant azure ice glow appeared, instantly sealing Ji Mo's head and soul together.
"Thank you." Lin Ling looked at the ice head in his arms and thanked her again.
Eakes made a funny face and turned to drill back into his body.
"Lin Ling, she is…"
Zhou Mengyan asked softly.
But Lin Ling raised his hand to stop her question.
"We'll talk about it later. Some people have done wrong things and deserve to be punished."
Lin Ling said, putting Ji Mo's head into his storage space.
And at this moment, the Nether Scorpion had slowly sat up, her fatal chest wound having healed almost completely.
"Kid, that little girl can't just act casually, can she?" The Nether Scorpion asked with some apprehension.
Lin Ling nodded, "Yes, she can't act for a while."
As soon as these words came out, a look of wild joy immediately appeared on the Nether Scorpion's face.
"Since that's the case, you can still be so calm. Should I say you're smart? Or should I say you're foolish?" The Nether Scorpion said with a sinister smile.
At the same time, more than a dozen ghostly figures suddenly appeared around her body.
"You wouldn't be so naive as to think you can kill me just because I'm injured, would you? Hehehe… You truly are adorable." The Nether Scorpion said with a laugh, sticking out her tongue and making a licking motion in the air.
However, the charm on her face instantly turned into ferocity, and the ghouls in front of her also lunged towards Lin Ling.
But she suddenly had a bad premonition; a strange smile appeared on Lin Ling's face.
The next second, a low voice quietly sounded.
"Old Butcher, time to work!"
