In the cabin, he looked at the sailor who had fainted.

Lin Sheng frowned slightly.

Ignoring the sailor, he grabbed another sailor. After a while, the faint light in his eyes flashed, and the sailor also regained his clarity.

But he couldn't ask the specific story, so he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Lin Sheng woke up the remaining sailors one by one.

Finally, one sailor did not faint as quickly as the previous ones. He fainted after intermittently revealing a series of information.

Looking at these fainted sailors, Lin Sheng had no intention of taking action again. Although these people did not seem to be in danger now, they had suffered serious mental damage and could not survive for long.

"It seduces the mind with its singing. Is this some kind of sea beast?"

Lin Sheng looked at Nong Yu and asked.

From the information revealed by these sailors just now, he probably knew what happened.

This Red Sea Merchant Association caravan heard strange music coming from the sea in Open Ocean Region. Then the members of the Chamber of Commerce on these ships seemed to be possessed by a magic barrier and jumped into the sea like dumplings, never to return.

The reason why the ship under my feet was able to come back was because it was at the end of the fleet farthest from where the singing was. After seeing the strange scene happening on the front team, they immediately turned back. Although they still lost a lot of manpower, these sailors survived by luck.

Of course, I am only alive temporarily.

This strange thing of seducing the crew with singing reminds Lin Sheng of the myths and stories that were circulated in Blue Star's previous life. There seems to be a similar legend.

"It is quite rare for such sea beasts to confuse the mind with their singing. Moreover, although several sea beasts that I know have this ability, the strength of the Zhonghai Chamber of Commerce is not weak. This caravan is definitely followed by a large number of experts. Logically speaking, these sea beasts do not have this ability."

Nong Yu looked thoughtful.

Even though she had done a lot of research on sea beasts, she still couldn't help but feel confused when she heard about this incident.

But soon she seemed to have thought of something, a look of hesitation appeared on her face, and she said hesitantly.

"However, when I was young, I heard my grandfather talk about it. In ancient times, there was a sea beast called Kisame in the far sea. Its upper body was like a human and its lower body was a fish. Whenever a heavy rain came, it would make a song and make people fall into an illusion and actively approach it and become its blood food. Even if it is as strong as Divine Form Martial Artist, it will be difficult to escape."

"But as far as I know, this kind of sea beast named Kisame has not appeared for hundreds of years, so I am not sure whether it still exists in the Eastern Sea."

"Kisame?"

After hearing Nong Yu's words, Lin Sheng murmured.

Regardless of whether this thing is Kisame or not, in terms of ability, it is definitely a mentally extremely powerful being.

Being able to influence a caravan of no less than hundreds of people at the same time, such a craftsmanship, its sophistication Divine Power is absolutely extraordinary, I am afraid it is most likely only Demon Beast.

Lin Sheng is quite interested in this sea beast.

No need to think about it, I also know that it will definitely bring a good increase in precision Divine Power, but unfortunately if it is Demon Beast, it is not so easy to solve.

Compared to high-level Spirit Beast, Demon Beast, in a sense, already belongs to a completely new species. The gap between the two is like a chasm.

Each Demon Beast can bring extremely powerful attribute increases.

This so-called Kisame, regardless of whether it is Demon Beast, just trying to find its traces will take a lot of time.

Now that the mining of Crimson Crystal Ore is coming to an end, it is obvious that we cannot waste much time on it.

He shook his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the sailor who was tied to a pillar on the other side of the cabin. This sailor's clothes were obviously much better than those of the other sailors, and he had good cultivation. He was a third-level warrior named Bone Tempering.

Lin Sheng reached out his palm and cut open the iron chain that bound his body.

As soon as Fang was freed from the restraints, the sailor with disheveled hair immediately rushed towards Lin Sheng. Scales grew on his body and exuded a bloodthirsty aura, showing signs of animal transformation.

Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng had some surprise on his face, but then a palm shot came out. The sailor's chest collapsed on the spot, and he fell to the ground, and became silent in an instant.

The spirit is almost broken, and by Bone Transformation realm, there is indeed the possibility of turning into a beast.

On the other hand, Nong Yu looked at the sailor carefully and said suddenly.

"It's Zhou Yuan, the second son of President Red Sea Merchant Association. I didn't expect it to be him. This Zhou Yuan Bloodline is very talented and has the ability to control sea fish. It seems that the reason why this ship can be so fast and can escape even if no one is controlling it is because of the sea fish it controls."

"That's it." Lin Sheng nodded, and this explanation made sense.

"Okay, let's go back."

Soon the two people left the cabin, and at this time the small merchant ship Wu Chuan had also approached.

Under the sea surface, sea fish more than half a meter long fled in panic. Obviously, these were the sea fish controlled by Zhou Yuan.

Wu Chuan also reacted at this time, and his uneasiness disappeared.

In line with the principle of not wasting, Lin Sheng asked Wu Chuan to carry Black Crystal Coral on board.

The value of these Black Crystal Coral is not low. This boat is estimated to be sold for two to three hundred thousand taels of silver, so naturally it cannot be let go.

Not long after, Black Crystal Coral had all moved, and the small merchant ship headed for the Seaweed Town ferry without stopping.

Nothing else happened along the way.

Two days later, the merchant ship docked.

Returning to where Seaweed Town is, Lin Sheng first went to the station to look at the reward he had issued.

After seeing that no one accepted the commission, he started Secluded Cultivation practice directly.

This time, Aurora Jellyfish entered the body, and his spirit and perception improved again, especially Perception Boost, which almost had a qualitative change.

In a quiet closed room.

The smoke of Calming Incense floats out from the incense burner and fills the entire Quiet Room.

Lin Sheng sat cross-legged in the middle, with his upper body naked, showing strong muscle lines. His eyes were slightly closed, and his five hearts were raised to the sky.

It was clearly the middle of summer, but the room was filled with an indescribable cold air.

Lin Sheng's body was as motionless as a sculpture, and even his breathing had stopped.

Different from the dead silence outside, the space in his consciousness was very strange at this moment.

After Long-bearded White Ape, Aurora Jellyfish, Three-Colored Mother Bird and Wind Listening Dog entered the body.

His spirit and perception have been superimposed to an unprecedented level.

At this time, in the consciousness space, the originally dark environment had changed a lot compared to before.

The visible range that was originally only about three or four meters in front of him has now expanded to about six or seven meters.

Although it was still dark outside the range, a large number of gray-green Demon Resonance within six or seven meters in front of him were clearly visible, and they were following the movement of Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture at this moment.

The gray-green Demon Resonance in perception slowly gathered towards him and attached itself to his body, as if it was being pulled.

And unlike before where he could only vaguely feel the presence of his body, now he could fully sense where his body was in this strange space.

At this time, his body was perceived as the same as when he first entered this space, completely showing a terrifying Mummified Body appearance.

Part of the upper and lower parts of the body are wrapped in a large number of gray-green moss-like things, and these moss-like things are clearly Demon Resonance that are piled up in large quantities and have a darker color.

As the Demon Resonance he pulled attached to the body, these Demon Resonance seemed to gradually integrate with the body, turning into bits of moss and clinging to the body.

The efficiency has been significantly improved compared to the previous practice.

But then, Lin Sheng only felt that weird cold feeling, which became more and more intense as more and more Demon Resonance was pulled in by itself.

Soon, five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside Quiet Room, Nong Yu came from outside the hospital.

Just ten meters away from Quiet Room, she shuddered subconsciously. She felt the hair all over her body and her body stood up with chills, which made her stop subconsciously and step back.

The cold feeling didn't disappear until they were a few meters away.

"Son..."

Nong Yu had a look of surprise on his face.

She came from a famous family and had extraordinary knowledge, but this was the first time she had seen this situation. The feeling just now made her feel as frightened as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

At the moment, I was a little worried that something had gone wrong in Lin Sheng's practice. When I was about to go out and call someone immediately, Lin Sheng's calm voice came from the room.

"I'm fine."

Hearing this, Nong Yu just breathed a sigh of relief and immediately spoke.

"Senior Bai Can just came over and asked me to inform the young master that you are leaving tomorrow."

"We know the county, let's go down."

Lin Sheng's voice sounded from the room again.

Nong Yu After bowing, he turned back and exited the courtyard.

In the room, Lin Sheng's eyes suddenly opened. Both eyes were completely filled with darkness, and no white of the eyes could be seen.

However, as he exhaled a heavy breath, his eyes quickly returned to normal.

"The sixth magic pattern has become..."

Lin Sheng is moving his body, and at this time, there are wisps of black lines on his back that are constantly surging, and finally converge into a new black diamond-shaped mark.

"Sure enough, after the perception is improved, it also has a good promotion effect on Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture's practice. In 5 days, he broke through again and entered the late stage of Blood Circulation. He is only one step away from returning to Bone Tempering."

He whispered to himself, with a smile on his face.

However, the smile soon faded, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"Where is that weird space?"

I think of the Pitch-Black Space I was in when I was practicing, the ubiquitous gray-green spore-like Demon Resonance, and myself who looked like Decay Mummified Body for many years.

He just felt like a weird nightmare, but it was so real.

The description in Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture comes to mind.

Demon Resonance is everywhere. Since the existence of Demon Resonance can be felt in that space, why not in the real world?

He felt quite confused in his heart, as if he had touched some kind of barrier, and only by breaking it could he know the truth.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, but he had no clue. He shook his head slightly to suppress the cluttered thoughts.

Because the cold feeling in the body still exists at this moment, and it has the intention of eroding itself.

This situation became more and more serious as his practice began after the Vital Blood energy dissipated after his practice.

If ordinary people don't have enough willpower and physical strength, it may be extremely difficult to deal with it.

The cold feeling that is eroding his body now has reached a point where it is quite difficult to deal with. Not to mention Blood Circulation Practitioner, even Bone Tempering, a mid- to late-stage warrior, may not be able to withstand it.

He knew that this was the backlash of refining and devouring Demon Resonance, but the backlash was a bit beyond expectations.

I'm afraid if it were other people, even if they were seed of Dark Star geniuses, not many of them in Blood Circulation realm would be able to withstand this backlash pressure.

But to him, it was nothing. As Blazing-Eyed Flame Dragon entered his body, this cold feeling disappeared in an instant.

In fact, even if Blazing-Eyed Flame Dragon is not in the body, with his current body, he can withstand the pressure of this backlash, but it will take some time to completely eliminate it.

As the backlash was completely suppressed, the cold atmosphere in the room also disappeared.

"The backlash pressure of Demon Resonance seems to have increased too fast. After another breakthrough, it will undoubtedly increase a lot... It seems that the difficulty of Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture's practice is a bit too high. Even if the mental perception meets the requirements, if the backlash cannot be suppressed, the end will be miserable..."

Lin Sheng touched his chin and thought about the reason.

Although there are very few Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture practitioners among Dark Star, there are some, and Lin Sheng is curious about how they meet the demanding requirements of this technique.

Soon he understood. He patted his head and smiled dumbly.

"No, that's why I have such strong backlash pressure when I practice Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture. It has to do with the speed of my practice. My spiritual perception is not inferior to that of Divine Form realm warriors, and may even be stronger than ordinary Divine Form."

"This kind of tyrannical spiritual perception greatly improves Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture's practice efficiency, but it also brings backlash that is several times more powerful than other people's, which is why there is such strong pressure."

After thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel helpless.

If he were given the choice again, he would definitely do it again, and even continue to enhance his spirit and perception to further speed up his practice efficiency.

As for the backlash of Demon Resonance, it is nothing compared to the progress of spiritual practice.

When it reaches the point where it becomes unbearable, it's not too late to think about it again.

"When I advance further in my cultivation, I will be able to meet the conditions for losing Demonic Husk for the first time. I don't know what changes will happen then. It's really exciting. I hope I won't be disappointed."

Lin Sheng picked up a coat and put it on, opened the door, looked at the scorching sun in the sky and whispered to himself.

Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture, Nine Molts of the Demon Bone.

Every time Demonic Husk fades away, it is a watershed moment.

Now he has reached the realm of Blood Circulation Peak, but this Profound Technique has not yet exerted the power of Profound Technique. In the perception of Lin Sheng, the improvement in various aspects is only a little stronger than when the two true skills of Qingniao Chasing Star Finger and White Elephant Town Mountain Art are in his body.

Only when Demonic Husk fades away is the true transformation.

Entering Bone Transformation realm is the first level of transformation.

So he is looking forward to what changes this Profound Technique will bring by then.

However, now that Crimson Crystal Ore has been mined, it cannot be used in Secluded Cultivation and can only be practiced on the road.
