In the room, Cang Xu knelt on both knees, gasping for air, his vision a blur.
The ghost used for reconnaissance maintained a close spiritual connection with him. Concurrently, the destruction of the ghost inflicted backlash damage on Cang Xu's spirit.
After checking the Alchemy Array in the room and finding no issues, Cang Xu quickly consumed a potion and began meditating on the spot.
Moments later, he opened his eyes; the dizziness had somewhat subsided, but a throbbing pain permeated his body.
"My body has been transformed by Undead Magic, now I am someone half-dead."
"The pain isn't physical, it's in the soul."
"It seems that this time, the loss of the ghost was too sudden, causing damage to my soul as well."
Cang Xu sighed, having pinpointed the cause.
"I can't stay here too long," Cang Xu decided to first return to the Deep Sea Monster Fish, and then address the damage to his soul.
