You call this a black hand?

The space inside the sarcophagus is not large. It can only accommodate the white jade skeleton itself. If you cram a melon into it, it will become very crowded.

?????????Normally, Melen would not choose to lie down, but considering that the process of meditating and channeling takes a long time, and during this period, his reaction will be much slower than usual, so Mellen

He simply hid in the coffin.

????????In this way, if something unexpected happens around him, he will still have a layer of protection.

On the other hand, it was also because Melen did not feel any danger from the skeleton, or in other words, he felt that the place where the skeleton stayed was safer than the outside space.

However, being squeezed into a narrow place with it is actually uncomfortable, especially since the opponent's bones are very hard. When he turns sideways to face each other, his chest and ribs are supported on Melen's elbow like an iron railing.

The location is so painful.

????????The skeleton itself did not resist this behavior at all. Of course, it actually couldn't resist it. Mellen could vaguely feel its curiosity and confusion about this, and it seemed that it couldn't figure out what it was doing.

What.

????????It’s just that it can’t speak at all, let alone ask, it can’t even move. It can only look at Melen helplessly and let him do whatever he wants.

????????So, after posing, Meren closed his eyes according to the specific visualization method he had seen during the day, and began to outline in his mind the specific appearance, breath, touch, etc. of the skeleton.

????????This process is not smooth, because it is inevitable that there will always be some missing parts. After all, it is impossible for him to remember all the bones and structures of the skeleton at a glance.

After repeating the experiment and opening his eyes and observing it countless times, Mellen was able to clearly "build" the skeleton itself in his mind.

????????As for the subsequent breath touch, it is more like giving soul to the scene in the mind. It feels very simple, but is actually very difficult.

????????However, although the progress is slow, it has not come to a standstill in the end.

Gradually, as time passed, the false bones in his mind seemed to come alive, starting from the finger bones.

????????However, just after this happened, a cold feeling suddenly struck.

???????? Along with it, there is also an earthy smell wafting into the nose.

The external environment has obviously changed, so Mellen no longer thought about sketching the skeleton in his mind, and quickly opened his eyes vigilantly.

????????Then he was shocked to find that he was lying in a place covered with ice and snow!

???????? There are light snowflakes floating in the sky, falling on the surface, as if the land is covered with a snow-white carpet woven with silver threads. Mellen is currently lying on the edge of the "carpet", a river

The embankment next to it.

The surrounding area is completely empty, not to mention the sarcophagus and skeletons, there is not even the slightest trace of man-made artifacts, it is a natural scene.

?????????"What's going on?"

He was a little confused because of this, and a word subconsciously flashed in his mind - hallucination.

????????But it doesn’t look like it, because whether it’s the cold snowflakes falling from the sky or the hard touch of the ground beneath you, they are all as lifelike as the real environment.

At the same time, the cold air he breathed in his nose aroused goosebumps all over his body.

????????But it was precisely because of this that Meren realized that no matter where this place was, it did not really exist.

???????? Because his current body is not a real body, and his real body has long been resistant to cold due to practicing breathing techniques. Although the surroundings are cold, it is not cold enough to make him wake up.

level of reaction.

????????Mellen then got up and started exploring around.

???????Then he discovered more and more special things.

For example, a tree of an unknown type by the river has a light golden bark. The dead branches on it are as bright as metal and very hard.

The black soil beneath your feet seems to be nothing. When you dig a little deeper, you can find some small dark blue particles hidden in the soil. I don’t know what they are.

The river was even weirder. When he squatted down and observed carefully, Melen could faintly detect a strange emotion in the rushing torrent. It was inexplicable. The river seemed to be conscious.

.

????????It’s just that this awareness seems to be very small, and Mellen is not sure if this is an illusion.

????????He therefore began to swim upstream, following this feeling and searching continuously.

???????Time keeps passing.

????????The snowflakes in the sky have been floating and falling on him, gradually turning him into a snowman. The surrounding forest and the earth are covered in silver. Except for the sound of the river flowing, there are no birds chirping or singing.

There was a sound of people and silence, as if it were a dead place.

????????But it also made Mellen more and more confused whether this was false or real.

????????Or, except for yourself, everything around you is true?

????????There are more and more doubts, but no one tells me the answer.

Until he saw two figures running and playing by the river in the distance.

The distance was too far, and Meren could not clearly see the appearance of the two people. He could only roughly tell that they were two women.

????????This made him a little surprised, but more importantly, he couldn't wait to go over and ask about the situation.

????????However, after hurriedly driving for a while, his expression became a little strange and his steps slowed down.

?????????"It's such a snowy day, and I'm actually staying outside without wearing anything..."

????????He was a little hesitant to go over, but then he didn’t let Melen make the decision. One of the women, who was looking at the river with her hands on her hips, spotted him. After being stunned for a moment, she unconsciously let out a sweet sound.

's exclamation.

This cry made another woman squatting next to her, who didn't know what she was doing, also turn her head and look over.

????????Then, after being stunned for a few seconds, these two strange women got up in a panic and ran away.

???????? Watching their backs disappear from sight, Meren didn't react at all.

After a pause, he walked to their original position and looked down. A small snowman mixed with mud was quietly placed by the river. It was obviously not finished yet and looked a little...

ugly.

???????This is obviously what the squatting woman was doing before.

????????only……

?????????"How come it seems like I met two female savages?"

????????After taking a closer look at the snowman's image and style, Meren frowned slightly.

????????Following the escape route of the previous two people and entering a forest, more details made him increasingly suspicious of this possibility.

????????Whether it is the random graffiti on the roadside or the furnishings piled up in the clearings of the woods, they all clearly have a "barbaric" style.

However, when he followed the forest path and came to a simple "shack" built from tree branches, what he saw slightly shattered his previous guesses.

????????Because he saw the two women again, and they were both wearing clothes.

However, what Melen couldn't help but doubt was that these clothes were exactly the same as the student uniform of Fort St. Grant that he was wearing at this time.
