Chapter 161: Humanity
The song was melodious, with a bit of indescribable obscurity, a language that Li Xing had never heard before, mixed with the sound of the rushing river and entering Li Xing's ears.
It was terrifying to suddenly hear a singing voice in the middle of a fog.
Li Xing was not flustered by the appearance of this inexplicable singing.
"Is it some kind of hallucinatory monster again......
He narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of the man-eating flower that had just entered this dream and attracted him to the sound of a baby crying.
Monsters like this that need to attract prey through means such as phantom sounds, no matter how strong they are, are limited, and they basically have no ability to move.
For Li Xing, it was like food on a plate, just waiting for him to walk over and put it in his mouth.
Zheng!
The pitch-black claws with ten centimeters long at the tips of the two fingers rubbed together gently, splashing a few sparks.
A murderous aura flashed in his eyes, Li Xing licked his lips and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Although the singing is faint, it is very clear, so it is easier to find the route.
But what made Li Xing a little strange was that after walking such a distance, he didn't encounter a single monster.
Last time in the misty area leading to the river, he had hunted a lot of monsters.
Although these monsters are not sane, their habits are similar to those of ordinary animals.
The vicinity of water is often a denser area of their distribution.
Now the area is quiet, as if they have migrated en masse.
Li Xing frowned slightly, raising some vigilance in his heart.
The singing became clearer and clearer, making Li Xing feel a sense of disgust inexplicably, he didn't care, and it didn't take long for him to come to the river, go up the river along the river, and walk towards the source of the song.
It didn't take long for Li Xing to see the source of the singing.
Then his expression sank slightly.
He saw a wooden boat, and at the bow stood a figure shrouded in black robes, and under the hood was an old woman's face.
Although old, it can vaguely be seen that it is a Caucasian face.
The old woman closed her eyes and stretched out her hands in front of her, and the obscure singing voice came from her mouth.
No, it's more like a spell with a specific melody than a song.
It's really ...... Mankind?!
Li Xing's breathing was slow, and his mind was a little confused for a while.
He didn't think too much about it, but carefully observed the rest of the situation.
The wooden boat was not too big, it could only be called a small boat, and it seemed to have a strange power to maintain it, and it did not move in the turbulent current, as if it had taken root.
In addition to the old woman who closed her eyes and sang, there was another person on the boat.
It was a white young man sitting cross-legged on it, also wearing a black robe, and some complicated lines were faintly painted on the black robe.
The young man sat motionless on the boat, his brows furrowed together, as if he were carrying capacity.
Li Xing didn't rush out, the situation is unclear now, let's take a look first.
He stared intently at the other side, hiding his tall and hideous true body behind a rock.
"Huh, this is ......."
It didn't take long for Li Xing to see a clue.
No, not looking, but perceiving.
Young people are exuding all kinds of intense and terrifying negative emotions.
Extreme hatred, disgust, fear, despair and other negative emotions are expelled by young people in some unknown way.
Those condensed negative emotions were too strong and produced some inexplicable fluctuations, which were captured and perceived by Li Xing.
What Li Xing couldn't see was that after those negative emotions left the youth, some unknown changes immediately occurred, turning into wisps of invisible black qi, emanating from the young man's body, overflowing towards the surroundings, and they were entangled and condensed together, turning into black cocoon-like things.
"What is this......"
Li Xing followed his feelings and came to a place where black qi was entangled.
Even though he couldn't see anything, he could clearly sense what was happening in the empty space in front of him.
And over time, that fluctuation gets stronger and stronger.
Something is coming out.
This thought flashed in his heart, and Li Xing's eyes suddenly froze.
"Poof......
With a slight light sound, like the sound of some blister bursting, a hideous monster more than a meter tall, completely black, like an enlarged version of a praying mantis, suddenly appeared in front of Li Xing.
This monster appeared so unexpectedly, appearing in front of Li Xing out of thin air, and he was startled.
He subconsciously grabbed the neck of the mantis-like monster and put a little force on his hand.
"Click!"
Before the monster could react, it was directly twisted and its neck was broken.
The sound was not loud, muffled by the sound of the rushing river, and the two people on the boat did not notice anything unusual here.
As soon as the monster died, its entire body turned into a wisp of black qi and poured into Li Xing's eyebrow mark.
Then he saw that on the properties panel, the agility increased by 0.2.
Li Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.
There are still many places around here that exude such fluctuations.
He perceived carefully, found the place with the strongest fluctuations, and quickly moved on to the next place.
Sure enough, after a while, another monster appeared in front of him out of thin air.
This time it's a half-human, half-snake monster, with the image of a beautiful man on the upper body, and a snake body from the waist down, and a handsome face that gives people an extremely evil feeling.
It's still too weak, though.
Li Xing just grabbed its neck and pinched it, and it was directly pinched into a ball of meat paste with a slight click.
Another small boost in strength.
"How did this guy do that?"
Li Xing looked at the white young man on the boat, and his heart was full of surprise.
The ability to create these monsters out of thin air is a bit unfathomable.
It's just that his own strength seems to be a little worse, and he doesn't feel as strong as those monsters to Li Xing.
And these monsters he made were also different from those original monsters, not only would their whole body turn into black gas after death, but they also had obvious emotions and intelligence.
When the half-human, half-snake monster was killed by Li Xing just now, there was fear in his eyes.
But I can't care so much for a while, so I'll eat all those things first.
In the next time, Li Xing stayed in that area, killing the monsters born one by one.
In the end, after killing all the monsters, his three stats improved a little on average, and his entire hideous body was a little taller and stronger.
"Poof!!"
At this time, the white youth on the boat suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Li Xing retreated slightly, the white mist perfectly concealed his figure, and with his terrifying eyesight, he could only see a distance of twenty or thirty meters, not to mention the sight distance of the two people on the boat.
"Young master, are you alright?" the old woman seemed to be frightened by the young man's vomiting blood, she stopped chanting and asked with concern.
She actually uses the international lingua franca!
Li Xing's eyes froze.
"My Demons...... Condensation failed. ”
The young man opened his eyes, and his brown pupils flashed with a look of confusion, disbelief, and frustration.
"How is that possible!" the old woman exclaimed, as if she had heard something extremely incredible, "with your talent, young master, it should be completely natural." ”
This young master's talent is the strongest person in the younger generation of the family, and he could have condensed his own demon for a long time, but for some reason, it has been delayed until now.
Condensing demons should be as simple as eating and drinking water for him.
Can ...... now
"I don't know...... Everything was going well, but for some reason, they quickly lost their senses with me one after another, as if they had never been there. ”
The young man's face was full of pain, and he lowered his head and grabbed his hair with both hands.
The old woman looked worried, and said, "Let's go back first, report your situation to the family, the elders in the family may know what the reason is, now stop the spell, those void demons will come back soon." ”
"Well, let's go. The young man nodded helplessly.
Although he was unwilling, time was running out, and he knew the horror of those void demons, the spell was interrupted and lost its effect, and this was no longer a place to stay for a long time.
The boat sailed in the direction of the upper reaches of the river on its own, as if it were being pushed underwater by a large, invisible hand.
On the riverside bank, a tall hideous figure loomed in the white mist.
I didn't go far, and soon I came to a tall cave in the bend of the river, and the cave was emitting a faint blue light.
Part of the water flows from the cave, which seems to be the entrance to an underground river.
The boat sailed into the cave.
After entering the cave and being shrouded in blue light, both of their spirits relaxed, and the young man ripped off a black robe, as if he had been freed from some bondage, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
After walking some distance, a stone platform appeared on the water in front of me.
A thin old man with silver hair was standing on the stone platform, looking at the young man with a smile on his face.
The young man looked ashamed, bowed his head and said, "Elder, I'm sorry ......."
"Hisoka, my child, you really didn't disappoint me!"
The elder opened his arms and hugged the young man who had climbed the stone platform in his arms, his voice filled with irrepressible excitement.
"The demon who was so powerful at the time of birth has never even appeared in the records of the family!"
Hisoka's mouth was wide open, a little overwhelmed.
He understood every word the elder said, but he didn't know what it meant when it was put together.
"Elder...... What are you talking about?" he couldn't help but say.
"Your demons. The elder frowned.
"But my demons ...... Failed!"
"Failure?!"
The Elder's face froze, and he let go of Hisoka, pointing behind them, "But what is that thing that came in after you?"
Hisoka looked back suspiciously, and when he saw the place the elder was pointing to, his puzzled expression suddenly froze on his face.
A monstrous monster more than three meters tall with knotted muscles, covered in scales, and with pitch-black sharp bone spurs on its joints, was using its sharp claws sharper than a dagger to plunge into the hard rock wall as easily as a tofu block, and crawled silently along the rock wall.
After seeing the gaze of several people, the terrifying monster with a hideous shape raised its head.
"Huh, was you discovered?"
