The silence inside the hut was terrifying.
The torch on the ground was still burning, crackling, and the flickering flames twisted and stretched the shadow of Lin Feng, casting it onto the dirty wall like a demon that chose to devour people.The air was filled with the smell of blood, sweat, mold, and... a hint of the foul odor left by Zhao Hu's incontinence.
Lin Feng stood still, his body trembling slightly.It's not fear, but the chaotic force that has just erupted inside is slowly receding, leaving behind a deep bone marrow fatigue and... a strange, bloody sense of satisfaction.Dantian's empty orifice no longer churned violently, but deep in that cold hole, it seemed as if something was silently wriggling and licking, savoring the "nutrients" he had just absorbed - the blood and life essence that had escaped when Zhao Hu's wrist shattered.
He looked at his hand, which had distinct joints but was now stained with flesh and blood.This hand just easily crushed the wrist of a three-layer Qi refining cultivator, like crushing a dead branch.Strength, a genuine sense of power, is flowing back to his nerve endings in strands along with the yet to fully dissipate palpitations.Although accompanied by stabbing pain and a feeling of soul being torn apart, this feeling... fascinated him and made his heart shiver.
Monster... monster... "In the corner, a servant's teeth trembled and he looked at Lin Feng in horror, his voice as soft as a mosquito.
He... he took Senior Zhao's hand
Hurry up... run quickly
Panic spreads like a plague in an instant.The remaining servants in the shack woke up from a dream and didn't care about anything else. They rushed to the door, rolling and crawling, and hurriedly escaped from this place that suddenly became even more terrifying than the lair of spirit beasts.Their eyes towards Lin Feng were filled with extreme fear, as if he was no longer the useless person who could be bullied, but a deadly demon crawling out of the Nine Abyss.
In the blink of an eye, only Lin Feng was left in the shed, along with the burning torch on the ground and a pool of filth left by Zhao Hu.
Monster... "Lin Feng chewed on the word, and a cold and twisted curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.He lowered his head and looked at his blood stained hand, then touched the cold, empty, yet seemingly nurturing hole in the dantian.Maybe
The 'it' within the body requires flesh and blood, and the source of life.This thought emerged clearly and coldly, with a primitive allure.He walked up to the torch left by Zhao Hu and bent down to pick it up.The firelight reflected his pale face, and deep within those eyes, a dim light flickered in and out, like a gaze from an abyss.
He knew that if Zhao Hu was dragged away, the news would soon reach Lu Chen's ears.Lu Chen will not let him go.He can't stay in this Spirit Beast Valley anymore.We must leave immediately!
The goal is clear: a barren forest.
That is one of the most dangerous and forgotten areas deep in the Spirit Beast Valley.Legend has it that it was once a corner of the ancient battlefield, filled with evil energy and covered in white bones, breeding various strange poisonous insects and ferocious beasts that were eroded and mutated by evil energy.Ordinary disciples dare not go deep, and the sect also regards it as an abandoned place.But for Lin Feng now, the chaotic and dangerous environment there is precisely the best place to hide, and even... it may be the "food" source of the chaotic power in his body.
More importantly, deep in the barren forest, there are rumors of a king's nest of mud worms, where the quality of the mud worms is extremely high and may even undergo mutations.The "specialty" that Lu Chen specifically requested may have originated from this.Lin Feng needs rotten mud worms, not for passing on tasks, but for... to survive.He needs to quickly recover his strength and energy to feed the newly awakened 'monster' inside his body.
No time to hesitate.Lin Feng pulled down a relatively clean burlap cloth from inside the shed, quickly wiped away the bloodstains on his hands, and then dug out a rusty and chipped short handled medicinal hoe from his pile of junk - this was his only "weapon".He took a deep breath, suppressed the intermittent pain and hunger coming from Dantian's orifice, and without hesitation, rushed out of the hut, quickly disappearing into the more intense darkness outside the Spirit Beast Valley.
The night breeze is like a knife, with a piercing chill and a strong beastly smell.Lin Feng, relying on his familiarity with the terrain accumulated during the past three years of working as a laborer in Spirit Beast Valley, quickly traversed the rugged rocks, low shrubs, and foul smelling muddy edges like a silent ghost.His body is still weak, but at this moment his spirit is unusually excited, and his senses seem to be slightly stimulated by the newly born chaotic force, becoming slightly sharper than usual.He could hear the distant cries of night owls, the heavy breathing of some large spirit beast, and even faintly smell the scent of blood, humus, and strange herbs wafting from different areas of the air.
Dantian's orifice, like a restless heart, pulsated slightly as he ran.Every beat pulls a thirst that originates from instinct, driving him towards a direction of stronger evil energy and more "vigorous" (or chaotic) vitality - the Dead Bone Forest.
The closer one gets to the barren forest, the worse the environment becomes.The ground beneath my feet became soft and muddy, covered with a thick layer of dark colored humus that made a "plop" sound when stepped on.There is a strong and unbreakable smell of decay in the air, mixed with a rust like bloody smell and an indescribable, nauseating sweetness.The towering ancient trees became sparse and twisted, and the bark appeared ominous gray black. The branches stretched out into the night sky like struggling ghost claws.The moonlight appears even more stingy here, barely outlining some vague and bizarre contours.
Wu
A low, malicious sobbing sound accompanied by the crawling sound of Sesotho came from the shadows ahead.
Lin Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks, clenched the medicine hoe in his hand, arched his body slightly, and looked cautiously at the source of the sound.
Two dim green lights shone in the darkness, like ghostly flames.Immediately afterwards, a half person tall black figure slowly crawled out from behind a pile of white bones.
That is a bone wrenching jackal.
Its fur presents a sickly grayish yellow color, dirty knots, multiple ulcers, and exposes the gray white bones underneath.Its body size is larger than that of ordinary jackals, but it appears more withered, with clearly visible rugged ribs.The most heart stopping thing is its eyes, shining with a greedy, crazy, and irrational dark green light.Thick saliva flowed from the corners of its mouth, dripping onto the white bones beneath its feet, making a slight "hissing" sound - saliva has a strong corrosiveness.Its claws are exceptionally sharp, deeply digging into the ground.
This is the "cleaner" of the withered bone forest, whose mind has been eroded by the strong evil energy, leaving only the instinct to devour flesh and blood, fierce and fearless of death.
The Shagu jackal obviously smelled the breath of a living person on Lin Feng's body, and let out a more excited howl. With a sudden kick on its hind legs, it carried a strong gust of fishy wind and rushed towards Lin Feng like an arrow from the bowstring!Amazing speed!
The pungent wind blows on the face, and the foul odor pierces the nose!If it were three days ago, Lin Feng would have had to close his eyes and wait for death in the face of this fierce beast with second level Qi refining power.
But at this moment——
Just as the sharp toothed jaws of the Evil Bone Jackal were about to bite Lin Feng's neck, a cold, violent, and destructive force, like a ferocious beast that had invaded its territory, suddenly erupted from the depths of his dantian orifice!
Roar! "A low, inhuman roar that seemed to come from the depths of the soul exploded in Lin Feng's consciousness!It's that voice!Devouring Abyss!
Lin Feng's eyes were instantly covered by a layer of extremely pale gray and dark gold, and his rationality was on the verge of collapse under the violent desire to kill!Almost without hesitation, he followed his body's most instinctive reaction and slid half a step sideways at an incredible angle, narrowly avoiding the jackal's mouth.At the same time, the hand holding the medicine hoe, with its muscles bulging and veins bulging, carried a force so brutal and unreasonable that it fiercely thrust towards the soft abdomen of the bone wrenching jackal from bottom to top!
No skills, only the most primitive power erupts!
Puff!
The rusty and dull medicinal hoe, under the blessing of this body cultivation power far beyond the refining period, unexpectedly sliced into butter like a red hot iron, easily tearing apart the tough fur and muscles of the bone wrenching jackal, deeply penetrating its abdominal cavity!
Oops! "The bone wrenching jackal let out an extremely mournful howl, and the excruciating pain made it writhe wildly!
But Lin Feng's movements are faster!Or, to put it another way, the force that controls his body is faster!He suddenly pulled out his medicine hoe and brought out a pot of hot, foul smelling blood and visceral fragments.At the moment when the Shagu jackal was sluggish due to severe pain, his other hand formed a claw with five fingers, and the fingertips were faintly wrapped in an extremely weak, almost imperceptible gray air flow. With a piercing sound of breaking through the air, he fiercely grabbed the Shagu jackal's neck!
**Devouring Claw!**
Damn it!
Like tearing a torn cloth!The hard neck bone of the Shagu jackal was as fragile as rotten wood under the claws that contained the power of the chaotic origin!The entire neck was forcefully torn apart, with the head hanging down at a strange angle, and the dark green eyes instantly lost their luster.
Bang!
The heavy body of the Shagu jackal fell onto the muddy humus, twitched twice, and completely stopped moving.The foul smelling blood gushed out, staining the surrounding white bones and black soil red.
Lin Feng stood still, panting heavily.The Dantian Void is like a ignited furnace, crazily devouring the essence with strong evil and death aura that has escaped from the corpse of the Evil Bone Jackal!Waves of cold, chaotic, and destructive energy flood into the void, causing excruciating pain, but at the same time, it also brings an indescribable and powerful sense of "satiety" and pleasure!His pale face, weakened by weakness, even showed a sickly blush.
Huh... Huh... "He lowered his head and looked at his hands stained with blood and broken flesh, then at the rapidly shriveled corpse of the jackal on the ground.The claw just now was completely beyond his control. It was an instinctive outburst driven by hunger and the desire to kill, known as the "Devouring Abyss" within his body!
After the joy, there is a deeper chill and fear.He clearly felt that as the essence of the devouring bone jackal engulfed, the chaotic power inside seemed to have strengthened a bit, while also becoming more restless.The murmurs from the depths of the void, filled with confusion and thirst, seemed clearer:
Blood... evil... more... devouring... growing
He forced himself to calm down.Strength is certainly important, but being devoured by this force and becoming a monster that only knows how to kill is not what he wants!He must find a way to control it!
At this moment, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of something half covered in the mud next to the corpse of the jackal.That is a link organism with a thick arm, covered in sticky black mud on the surface, and constantly crawling slowly - the mud worm!Moreover, judging from its plump physique and the faint red luster, its quality far exceeds those he excavated on the periphery!
The task objective is right in front of him, but what he needs at this moment is its flesh and blood energy!
Without hesitation, Lin Feng crouched down and used a short hoe to dig out the plump and plump mud worm.It feels cold and smooth, struggling with great force, emitting a strong earthy and putrid smell.Lin Feng endured his nausea without any tools to deal with it. A hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth and fiercely bit the wriggling insect body!
Fishy, salty, bitter, astringent... an indescribable nauseating taste instantly fills the mouth!The viscous and cold juice slid down the throat!But at the same time, an energy far purer than ordinary food, carrying the weight of the earth and decaying vitality, also quickly poured into the body and was greedily absorbed by the Dantian Void!This energy is relatively gentle, although it still carries a earthy smell and decay, it effectively alleviates the restlessness and pain caused by devouring the evil energy just now, as if injecting a clear stream into the hot lava.
Uh... "Lin Fengqiang suppressed his desire to vomit and swallowed the plump and plump mud worm whole in a few bites.A warm current melted in his abdomen, nourishing his dry meridians and exhausted body, and reducing the severe pain in his dantian orifice.
Food!Energy!He needs more!
He stopped and wrapped the claws and canine teeth of the corpse of the Evil Bone Jackal, which were worth a little money and contained evil energy, in cloth (perhaps as materials or for sale), and then continued to venture deeper into the Dead Bone Forest.This time, his goal is even clearer: to find the nest where the mud worms gather, and... to hunt down more "food" containing evil energy!
In the depths of the barren forest, white bones pile up like mountains, forming strange bone mounds and canyons.There is a light gray mist floating in the air, which is a strong and almost indestructible evil energy, inhaled into the lungs like a knife cutting.Lin Feng felt a slight tingling sensation on his skin, but Dantian's empty orifices were filled with waves of longing, as if a long drought had brought sweet rain.He carefully avoided some areas that emitted a dangerous aura, such as a swamp constantly emitting black bubbles, or a strange vine wrapped around a huge skull with leaves like ghost hands.
With the sharp perception of chaotic energy by the "devouring abyss" inside his body, Lin Feng quickly found a nest of mud worms deep in a relatively hidden bone hole formed by a huge rib arch.The ground here is unusually soft and moist, covered in thick black mud. Dozens of mud worms, big and small, wriggle and roll in it. The largest one is about the thickness of an adult's calf, presenting an ominous dark purple color throughout. There are two faint red flashes on the head.
Wang Shi! "Lin Feng's heart trembled, and at the same time, a wave of ecstasy surged.The energy contained in this king earthworm must be astonishing!
But he didn't rush forward.There must be guardians near the nest of the Rotten Mud Worm King.He crouched behind the cold pile of bones, suppressing his breath like a patient hunter.
Sure enough, after a moment, a strange snake, the thickness of a bucket, covered in pale bone armor, but with a twisted face on its head, slowly emerged from the shadows deep in the bone hole.Its face is hollow and numb, with gray and white letters in its mouth, emitting a strong cold and deadly aura.
**Bone faced corpse python!**A ferocious creature nourished by death and evil energy!
The Bone Faced Corpse Python seemed to sense a strange aura, and the twisted face turned towards the direction where Lin Feng was hiding. In the hollow eye sockets, two pale phosphorus flames suddenly lit up!
Discovered!
The bone faced corpse python let out a sharp and piercing scream like a baby crying, and its massive body suddenly ejected, carrying a nauseating corpse odor and a piercing Yin wind. It opened its huge mouth full of spines and came towards the forest wind to bite!Fast as lightning!
The strong wind howls, and the breath of death instantly envelops!
Lin Feng's pupils suddenly contracted!The strength of this Bone Faced Corpse Python is definitely above the fourth level of Qi Refining!Far beyond the previous bone jackal!
Roar! "The" Devouring Abyss "inside felt a huge threat and... a more" delicious "food smell, emitting a more violent roar!Lin Feng felt a cold and piercing, yet scorching, violent force instantly fill his limbs and bones, almost bursting his body!His eyes were instantly covered in a rich gray and dark gold color, and the rational dam collapsed with a loud bang under the surging desire to kill!
Kill!devour!
He let out a roar that was not like a human voice, advancing instead of retreating!With a sudden kick, the hard bones on the ground were crushed!His body rushed towards the bone faced corpse python like a shell!The rusty medicinal hoe was infused with all its chaotic power by him, fiercely chopping towards the head devoured by the python!
Dang!!!
A piercing clang of metal and iron!The medicinal hoe struck the bone armor on the head of the bone faced corpse python, unleashing a burst of sparks!The enormous recoil caused Lin Fenghu's mouth to crack open, and blood flowed straight out!But there is also a clear crack on the bone armor!
The bone faced corpse python was in pain, emitting an even more mournful hiss. Its thick tail was like a steel whip, sweeping over its waist with a terrifying piercing sound!
Lin Feng is unavoidable!At the critical moment, his dantian orifice suddenly contracted, and an even stronger chaotic force erupted with a loud bang!He nailed his feet firmly to the ground, crossed his arms to protect his chest, and forcefully blocked it!
Boom!
Like being hit by a galloping giant elephant!Lin Feng was pulled off the ground and thrown backwards, hitting a huge unknown animal skull behind him fiercely!Click!The hard skull was shattered by him!My throat turned sweet and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out!The excruciating pain of splitting bones came from both arms!
But in his eyes, there is only madness!Without any hesitation!
The Bone Faced Corpse Python succeeded in one strike without stopping, its massive body crushing the white bones on the ground and biting them again!That twisted face was within reach, emitting a suffocating aura of death!
Death!!! "Lin Feng's eyes were about to crack, and the" Devouring Abyss "power in his body was completely ignited by the intense pain and threat of death!He no longer had any reservations, and all the newly swallowed and yet to be fully transformed essence and evil energy in his empty body, along with his own blood, were crazily ignited, compressed, and exploded at this moment!
**Burn blood!**
Hmph!
A chaotic airflow, visible to the naked eye and interwoven with gray and dark gold, suddenly spewed out from the pores around Lin Feng's body!His skin instantly turned red, his veins bulging like dragons, and even blood droplets seeping out from his pores!Strength, speed, and reaction skyrocketed to a terrifying level in an instant!The cost is that the body is like being cut into thousands of pieces, and the vitality is burning wildly!
He suddenly turned sideways, narrowly escaping the python's bite by a tiny margin!At the same time, the right hand stained with its own and enemy blood, with its five fingers forming claws and its fingertips entwined with a strong ash like air flow, carrying the will to tear and devour everything, fiercely grabbed the bone armor connection at the neck of the bone faced corpse python - a relatively weak area!
**Devouring Evil Claw · Burning Blood!**
Hmph!!!
This time, it's no longer the sound of tearing leather, but like a hot knife cutting into solidified oil!The claws containing the power of the Fury Origin, with the blessing of the Blood Burning State, forcefully tore open the hard bone armor and deeply penetrated the flesh and blood of the neck of the Bone Faced Corpse Python!
The bone faced corpse python let out an unprecedented and extremely painful howl!It writhed wildly, trying to shake off the forest wind!
But Lin Feng is like a maggot with tarsal bones!His five fingers were firmly digging into the flesh and blood of the python, like iron pliers!The power of the Devouring Claw is unleashed crazily!A series of essence elements containing strong death and evil energy, like a bursting flood, crazily flowed into the Dantian Void along his arms!
devour!devour!
The massive body of the Bone Faced Corpse Python shriveles at a visible speed to the naked eye!Its struggle became weaker and weaker, and its mournful cries turned into desperate sobs.For the first time, an emotion called 'fear' appeared on its hollow and numb face.
Lin Feng feels like a balloon about to burst!Rampage, cold and lifeless alien energy surged in, fiercely conflicting with the burning blood and chaotic source power inside his body!His consciousness rose and fell in the intense pain and killing pleasure, almost completely submerged.
Finally, the bone faced corpse python stopped moving completely and turned into a withered skin bag wrapped in bone armor.
Lin Feng suddenly pulled out his hand, stumbled back a few steps, and fell to the ground with a thud.The state of burning blood was instantly released, and not only did his strength recede like a tide, but also his remaining vitality.The extreme sense of weakness engulfed him like a tsunami, and his eyes turned black in waves.He gasped heavily, each breath accompanied by a tearing pain throughout his body, with blood dripping continuously from the corners of his mouth and arms.
Dantian's empty orifice, at this moment, is like a ferocious beast that is full of food and drink, but also has indigestion. It swells and contracts violently, filled with a mixture of violent energy: the ferocity of the bone jackal, the Yin death of the bone faced corpse python, and the decaying vitality of the earth worm... They conflict and tear against each other, bringing more terrifying pain than any before!It seems like countless steel knives are wildly stirring in his stomach!
Uh...! "Lin Feng curled up in pain, his veins bulging on his forehead, and cold sweat pouring out like a paste.He felt that he could explode and die at any moment, or be completely corrupted into a madman by this mixed force.
At this moment, the murmurs from the "Devouring Abyss" inside him, which had always been filled with chaos and thirst, seemed to have weakened a bit due to the mixed energy impact.Instead, there is a more ancient, obscure, intermittent rhythm that seems to come from the depths of the ancient earth, faintly echoing on the edge of his extreme pain and blurred consciousness.
This rhythm seems to carry a peculiar soothing and soothing power, although weak, it is like a candle flame in the darkness, causing Lin Feng's almost collapsing consciousness and violent energy to experience an extremely brief pause.
Taking advantage of this moment of stagnation, Lin Feng's blurred vision fell into the depths of the nest where the Bone Faced Corpse Python had been lurking just now.At the base of several huge ribs, covered by black mud, there seemed to be something that reflected an extremely dim but exceptionally ancient dark luster in the dim moonlight and mist of evil energy.
That's not bone, nor ore.
Like a broken slate engraved with some incomprehensible pattern?Or... jade talismans?
