Chapter 22: Transformation
Su Xiao looked at the corpse of the resentful monk on the ground, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this thing was different from the 'painting style' of the Holy Grail World.
Not only this resentful monk, but also the gate of Liudong Temple in the distance also gave him a sense of disobedience, could it be that the current Liudong Temple was occupied by a group of 'monks'?
Su Xiao felt that this was not very likely, the main forces in the Holy Grail World were the Holy Church and the Magic Association, and the possibility of 'foreign forces' like 'monks' being able to occupy Liudong Temple was not too high.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao suddenly thought that his thinking might have entered a misunderstanding.
First of all, the Resentful Monk is not a Monk's fighting style, but rather a style of biological mutation, such as an exoskeleton that breaks out of his body.
And when Su Xiao checked the information of the 'resentful monk', he noticed a piece of information: the assimilation degree of life is 30%, which may be the point, not the identity of the resentful monk.
There is so little information that is known about it now, and the situation inside the Liudong Temple can only be determined after entering it.
Hiding the body of the resentful monk on the ground, Su Xiao marched towards the mountain from the woods next to the mountain ladder.
The surroundings were surprisingly quiet along the way, and ten minutes later, Su Xiao arrived near the main gate of Liudong Temple.
It was not a wise choice to enter the Liudong Temple from the main gate, but after Su Xiao arrived near the main gate, he found that the two golden 'lanterns' he saw before were not lanterns at all, he was misled by the scene of the temple, and the sky was dark and far away.
In front of the gate of Liudong Temple, there are two door lamps, because the lampshade is golden, so the light that shines through is also golden, as for the sense of sacredness, it is a complete illusion.
At this time, the gate of Liudong Temple was closed, and there were no guards in front of the door, even so, Su Xiao was not ready to approach, he had a vague feeling that if he approached now, he would be immediately detected by the enemy, and there was likely to be a warning mechanism or enchantment near the temple gate.
Su Xiao's purpose is to complete the talent awakening task, and it is best to sneak in secretly without alarming the enemy, but this is unlikely, he is likely to kill it, otherwise the difficulty of the task will not be so high.
And if it's a secret sneak in, no one is better at it than Bu Bu Wang, but unfortunately, the LV.21 difficulty mission is very likely to engage the enemy.
Su Xiao bypassed the front door and began to walk along the wall around Liudong Temple, and after walking some distance along the wall more than three meters high, he heard a voice coming from inside the wall.
"Kill... Kill me, please......"
The voice was so weak that it seemed like it was going to die in the next second.
"Kill you? That's not good, you can't die until you enter the pool of eternal life. ”
"Tender flesh and blood, I really hope ......"
"Take away your claws, this human is the nourishment of the pool of eternal life."
The sound of the quarrel came, Su Xiao stepped on the ground, and the whole person climbed on the outside of the wall of Liudong Temple, only half of his head poked over the wall.
After seeing the scene in front of him, Su Xiao's pupils constricted, and he subconsciously hid his head behind the wall.
At this moment, the scene behind the wall was a little terrifying, Su Xiao was not frightened by that terrifying scene, but the number of enemies was too many.
Behind the fence was an open courtyard, in which hundreds of people, shirtless, were busy in the clearing.
In terms of temperament and appearance, these people have commoners, merchants, and perhaps other professions, and they have different appearances, tall, short, fat and thin, but they have one thing in common, that is, their heads are full of red 'ring scars', which are the same as the 'ring scars' of the previous resentful monk.
If you look closely, you will find that it is not actually a scar, but a scalp that is often punctured from the inside, and this red scar is naturally generated, which is similar to the principle of ear piercing.
It seems that the situation in Liudong Temple is different from what Su Xiao expected, it is not a large group of monks, the young monk he met before, the other party should be an ascetic, you can guess this from the clothes on the other party's knees that are seriously worn.
How can an ascetic who often bows three times and bows nine times and talks softly become a so-called resentful monk?
After seeing the situation in front of him, Su Xiao knew what was going on, not only the ascetic, but also the more than 100 enemies in the open space at this time should have been transformed from ordinary people.
Judging from the actions and eyes of these people, they are not losing their minds or being controlled, but they have accepted the way they are.
More than 100 shirtless people were busy in the open space, and there were several large iron cages at the edge of the clearing, and dozens of ordinary people with frightened expressions and slightly trembling bodies were locked in several iron cages.
These ordinary people did not shout, nor did they make meaningless begs for mercy, and some of the women held their mouths so hard that they were crying silently, which is the reaction that only occurs when they saw the most terrifying scenes, and they did not even have the courage to cry.
In the center of the courtyard was a circle that was peculiar, not dye or blood, but a white powder.
There is a lot of magic power under the Liudong Temple, and these white powders can draw out the magic power from the ground and form a magic circle.
This magic circle is circular as a whole, with a diameter of about five meters, and because the supply of magic power is extremely abundant, the magic circle is very three-dimensional.
Su Xiao used the apostle's eye to check the information of a shirtless middle-aged man, and he wanted to confirm his previous guess.
[Comparing the intelligence attributes of both sides...... After the comparison is completed, our intelligence is twice that of the enemy, and 100% of the enemy's information is obtained. 】
The information is as follows
Name: Resentful Acolyte (25% Assimilation)

Skill 2: Bone release (passive LV.10), you can partially release bones, defense +7.
Skill 3: Life Assimilation (Active LV.18), you can increase the 'Assimilation of Life' and restore your health by devouring the flesh and blood of living beings, and when the Assimilation of Life reaches 100%, the Resentful Monk will evolve.
……
Sure enough, roughly similar to Su Xiao's guess, the Liudong Temple was not occupied by monks, and the 'assimilation degree of life' was the key to the transformation of these resentful creatures.
And now, Su Xiao is witnessing this process of transformation.
Several resentful servants walked up to the iron cage where ordinary people were imprisoned, the longing in their eyes was undisguised, they were longing for the flesh and blood of these humans, and for some reason, they restrained this longing.
Squeak~
The door of the iron cage, which was covered with rust and blood, was opened, and the ordinary people imprisoned in the iron cage began to move closer to the inside of the iron cage like frightened domestic animals.
A resentful waiter walked into the iron cage and looked around at the ordinary people hiding in the corner of the iron cage, including working-class workers and charming nightclub girls.
"This, this, and this."
The resentful waiter pointed out three ordinary people, whose calves began to tremble, and their lips turned blue, obviously frightened.
"Don't, don't choose me, my son is still waiting for me at home, he can't live without me, he can't live without."
A young white-collar worker with a desperate face finally couldn't bear the fear in his heart, and began to shout loudly, and grabbed the iron bar in the corner of the iron cage with both hands.
