Congyun Mountain Range.
In the mountains and forests.
"Be careful and try not to make a big noise. This area is the territory of White-browed Tiger. Although Spirit Beast is strong, it basically sleeps during the day and only comes out to look for food at night, so you can rest in this area for a while."
A group of more than ten people found a place under a thick tree. With his back against the big tree, he sat on the ground, took out food from his bag, and began to rest.
Among the dozen or so people, some were old and some were young, some were men and some were women. They were carrying baskets on their backs and were dressed like herb gatherers. Their exposed skin was covered with some kind of green ointment, giving off a grassy smell, but everyone seemed to be unaware of it and gnawed on the dried meat and cooking cakes with relish.
"Boss, we were very lucky on this trip. We actually stepped on more than a dozen Crimson Grass plants. We will definitely be able to sell them at a good price when we return to the county town."
"Yes, in addition to Crimson Grass, there are also some Lotus Leaf Flower. This trip is bound to make a lot of money."
Everyone's voices were kept low, but everyone had a smile on their face and it was obvious that they had gained a good harvest. In the Congyun Mountain Range, the herb collectors basically tuck their heads in their belts when buying and selling.
You will die if you are not careful, but high risks also come with high rewards. There are many rare herbs in the Congyun Mountain Range. If you are lucky and can bring some back safely, you can sell them for a lot of money.
Therefore, despite the high mortality rate, many herb collectors still go deep into it every year, but not many can return safely.
The leader was an old man in his 50s. He looked quite young, but his aura was that of the late Blood Circulation.
The weakest among these dozen people are in the early stages of Blood Circulation, otherwise they wouldn't have the guts to enter Congyun Mountain Range.
The old man took a hard bite of the dried meat, but ignored the conversation of several people, and looked around with some confusion.
"It's strange. Although this place is the territory of White-browed Tiger, there are still some birds and animals on weekdays. Why is it so quiet today, not even a bird is seen..."
The old man knew that he had been a herbal collector for many years and had always been safe and sound. Naturally, he put caution first and stayed away as soon as he realized something was wrong.
At this moment, he felt that this forest was different from before. He frowned and threw the last bite of dried meat into his mouth, and immediately urged everyone.
"Okay, get up quickly, let's get out of here."
"What's wrong, boss? Didn't we just sit down? This is the only safe place in the area."
After hearing what the old man said, someone in the team asked in confusion.
"Yes, brother, if we don't take a good rest here, we will have to walk for a long time if we want to go down the mountain..."
"Stop talking nonsense, pack your things and get out of here."
The old man had a serious look on his face, and he immediately frowned and cursed.
Seeing that the old man didn't look fake when he was angry, a group of people didn't dare to treat it as a child's play. They quickly got up, packed their things, and followed the old man out of here.
"Hey, there is someone here?"
At this moment, a voice with a hint of joking and surprise sounded from the forest not far away.
Then Shaha, holding Meteor Chain Hammer, walked out of the forest and looked at the faces of a group of herb collectors with surprise on their faces.
His eyes kept scanning everyone, but the look in his eyes gave everyone a shuddering feeling, as if in the eyes of the other party, they were not humans but prey.
"Senior, we are just herb collectors who went into the mountains. We don't have anything valuable on us. We just collected some Crimson Grass. If you are interested, senior, just take it."
Seeing the strong man in strange attire and with a strange accent in front of him, the old man immediately lowered his posture and spoke with great respect. As he spoke, he took off the medicine basket from behind and placed it on the ground. At the same time, he cursed at his companions.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you take out the herbs and offer them to your seniors?"
Although the group of people were unwilling to do so, they all took down the medicine baskets and put them in front of them when they saw the old man acting like this.
Seeing this scene, Shaha tilted his head and glanced over the medicine basket, but quickly looked away and focused on the crowd again, especially on the women and a few younger and stronger men. He paused for a moment, and then showed a cruel smile.
"You are very lucky... You are lucky to be able to merge with someone."
"Run!"
At this time, the old man suddenly shouted loudly, turned around and rushed towards the woods behind him.
The other 10 or so people also reacted and quickly fled around with all their strength.
However, the sound of breaking wind soon sounded, and a Meteor Chain Hammer continued to stretch, wrapping up several herb collectors and pulling them back in the blink of an eye.
Hearing the shouts from behind, the old man's heart beat wildly, but his footsteps did not stop at all. As the strongest among them, he was also the first to flee, so he ran the furthest.
While he was glad that the strange man in black didn't catch up, his heart suddenly sank.
Because I don't know when there was a man in black in front of me.
The attire is the same as that of the man in black before, but what he holds in his hand is a black chain.
Before the old man could react, the black chain wrapped around his neck like a poisonous snake. In an instant, the old man's whole body became stiff and he was unable to move at all.
The old man's eyes were wide open, with a look of despair on his face. However, he was not given much time. The next moment, the man in black was already in front of him, and his palm was like a hook, piercing his chest directly. In an instant, a beating heart was taken out.
The rich smell of blood emanated, but a trace of greed appeared on the face of the man in black. He swallowed the heart in one mouthful, and then showed a look of enjoyment.
As if having some aftertaste, he stretched out his slender tongue and licked the blood clean from his lips, then took out the old man's entrails and swallowed them one by one.
After a while, only 8 of the original dozen people were brought to the White Tiger body.
"Boss, we are lucky. First there is this White Tiger, and then there are these strangers."
Shaha drove these people back, and his mouth was stained with strands of blood. It is self-evident why.
The eldest of the four pointed at the man in black Shahan on the long side. His eyes swept over these frightened herb collectors, revealing a hint of greed.
"That's fine, the smell of White Tiger's blood is too strong. Although it is very effective for us, in terms of taste, it still belongs to human organs."
Shahan As soon as he waved his hand, the long whip pulled the three herb collectors closer. The next moment his palms were revealed, the three herb collectors had already disemboweled them.
Soon, four men in black joined the feast one after another.
After a moment of burning incense, the four men in black stopped with satisfaction.
"Okay, rest here for a while and then hit the road. Sacred Elephant's Tusk has been obtained. There is no need to stay here too long."
Shahan wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth and spoke lightly.
"Okay, it's just a pity that such a good place is not as boring as our sanctuary."
Hearing this, Shaha nodded with a trace of regret on his face.
Whoosh...
The cyan Qi force flashed past and cut a green venomous snake on the ancient tree into two pieces.
"This is the area."
Lin Sheng stood on the ancient tree, his figure as light as nothing, his eyes falling on the dense sea of blood-red forest ahead.
This forest contains a large tree called Blood Maple Tree.
And it's in the shape of a line. It is vertical and horizontal from north to south, quite long and narrow.
According to the information Wanyan Bei gave him, there is a high probability that the person he is looking for is among the Blood Maple Forest Sea.
He didn't care much whether the information was accurate or not. He gained a lot from this trip. Finally, he would explore the Blood Maple Linhai. If it was not found, he would go back to Secluded Cultivation to practice.
In the past few days, in addition to woodcuts, he would swallow a tablet of Netherworld Soul Grass every night, and he could truly feel his spiritual improvement every day.
It won't be long before it should be able to trigger a qualitative change and once again improve its mental attributes.
While thinking in his mind, he tiptoed a little, and his body turned into a shadow, quickly falling into the blood-red forest sea.
Half a day passed quickly.
Lin Sheng's speeding figure suddenly stopped. His nose twitched, and he quickly changed direction and headed towards the forest on the left. Only a stick of incense passed.
A wolf beast has appeared in sight.
This is a black wolf Spirit Beast, currently lying in front of the corpse of a white giant tiger, constantly munching.
Seemingly noticing the extra breath behind him, the wolf beast immediately turned around, grinned its teeth as soon as it saw Lin Sheng, let out a low growl, and rushed towards Lin Sheng the next moment.
"Seeking death."
Lin Sheng Just pointed, and the cyan beam penetrated the wolf's head.
The huge figure fell to the ground, splashing a large amount of dust. Lin Sheng stepped forward and placed it on the wound, and instantly penetrated his body.
After glancing at its information, he lost much interest. The wolf beast's amplification attribute only had 15 points, which was the lower limit of low-level Spirit Beast. Its talent was also quite average, so there was really nothing noteworthy about it.
"It's just this tiger beast..."
He cast his gaze on the corpse of White Tiger beside him.
Then his hand fell on the broken head.
Information about this tiger beast immediately popped up in the consciousness panel.
[Animal name: White-browed Tiger (Spirit Beast)]
[White forehead with hanging eyes, boundless strength, swift as the wind...]
[Requirements for entering the body: Strength 7]
[Body penetration effect: Agility Boost 7 Strength Boost 7 Constitution Boost 5]
[Talent: Tiger Might]
[Talent: Iron Bone]
The moment he saw the information about White-browed Tiger, Lin Sheng showed a hint of surprise. He actually had a full 19 points of increased attributes, and he also had two talents.
Tiger Spirit Beast is somewhat rare, but the White Tiger in front of you is about to join the list of Advanced Spirit Beast.
In real terms, it may be three points better than Profound Nether Yin Python.
After all, Spirit Beast with two talents is quite rare.
This level of Spirit Beast is definitely not something that the wolf beast just now can kill. Obviously, there is another person or beast who can kill this White Tiger.
He carefully examined White Tiger's injuries and found that its internal organs had been completely ripped out, and the blood in his body seemed to have evaporated, with not much left at all.
This weird method doesn't look like it was done by animals, but more like it was done by humans.
The person who can kill Spirit Beast like this is obviously not weak.
"It's a pity that I can't put this White-browed Tiger into my body."
He felt a little regretful, after all, Spirit Beast like White-browed Tiger was quite rare.
Soon he smelled a different smell of blood. He stepped out a hundred feet away with a tip of his toes and found the corpses of herbal collectors lying on the ground.
These corpses died in miserable conditions, and some of them had a look of horror on their faces.
The internal organs inside the chest and abdomen were cut open and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng couldn't help but frown.
He didn't know what was going on here, but he was sure it was man-made.
He immediately switched all Strange Beast into Heightened Perception Strange Beast.
When he is on the road, he basically chooses to enter Green-eyed Fierce Eagle, Three-eyed Spirit Monkey, and another perception Spirit Beast.
Heightened Perception Strange Beast will all be switched only when needed.
After the switch, he instantly felt the chaotic atmosphere around him.
In addition to these corpses, the White Tiger and some other beastly auras, he soon identified four unique auras.
The auras of these four people were strange, and they were obviously not beasts.
"Are there four of us?"
He murmured in his mouth, and then galloped forward quickly.
These people are most likely the people he is looking for.
Two days later.
Glancing at the blood-red forest sea behind him, Shahan took out the map from his arms and took a look.
"You will be able to leave this mountain range in 7 days. Please remember to change your appearance in disguise, and try not to conflict with others after leaving the mountain range to avoid any accidents."
Shahan glanced at it and the other three people gave instructions.
Chi——
Shaha reached out and cut open the chest of the young man in front of him, took out the heart and licked it lovingly, then swallowed it in one gulp before speaking in response.
"I know, brother."
At this time, there were several figures in white lying on the ground.
Several figures were dressed similarly, obviously from the same force, but it was a pity that they met these people.
"You have to enjoy it before you leave, otherwise you will have to hold it in for a long time."
Shaha was not satisfied and took out the liver and kidneys again and ate them one by one.
Heavenly Net Sect was able to become a major force in the Southern Qi Kingdom because of the extremely fast advancement of its martial arts.
Moreover, it does not have high demands on the mental aspect. Instead, it deliberately amplifies the animal nature in Bloodline, allowing its own skills to exert power beyond itself.
However, there are pros and cons. While practicing extremely fast, it also makes Heavenly Net Sect people cruel.
In severe cases, it looks like an animal and is better than a human being.
Therefore, most of them need to borrow external objects to keep themselves clear and not be affected by too much animality and become half-human and half-animal Demonic Beast.
Shahan glanced at the three companions and took out a white cloth package from his arms.
Through the white cloth, I felt a warm feeling coming from it.
It makes people feel refreshed.
"As expected of Sacred Elephant's Tusk, it is truly a magical object that suppresses animal nature."
He opened the white cloth and looked at the white teeth that were only as long as an adult's forearm. A look of greed flashed across his face.
However, he knew very well that he only owned this thing temporarily and would have to hand it over when he returned to the sect.
Feeling regretful in his heart, he put away the white cloth package again. A sense of cruelty and bloodthirsty arose in his heart, and he immediately pulled a white-clothed figure from the ground, disembowelled it and started to devour it.
And it's seven or eight miles away from here.
Lin Sheng stopped.
Feel the bloody smell in the distance.
"It's just ahead..."
His eyes flashed, and with the strong smell of blood, he knew exactly what these four people were doing. Following them all the way, he had seen the disemboweled corpses more than once.
