Chapter 236: Evil Spirits

Regarding the exploration of the forbidden land, Liu Zhi does not intend to be personally responsible, mainly because there are too many unknown factors, and the harvest cannot be determined, in this case, no matter how familiar he is with this world, there is no danger to his life, in case the leader of the pig man is not dead, and he has the cultivation of the Ning Yuan period, Mo said that the others, even him, do not have much certainty of escape.

Be careful to win the world, careless Jingzhou. But the truth with blood!

After gathering a group of officers to discuss, this task was finally taken by Er Xiaoguang on his own initiative, and he transferred two soldiers from each of the Yanlong Battalion and the Third Battalion, plus a member of the Military Intelligence Department, a war doctor, and a half-werewolf priest, and eight people together formed this exploration team.

At noon that day, Liu Zhi explained the details of the confession clearly, and warned Er Xiaoguang that once he found that something was wrong, he would immediately lead the people to evacuate, and never let the soldiers lose their lives in vain.

Everything was in order, Er Xiaoguang led the seven people into the cave leading to the forbidden land, Liu Zhi sent two teams of people to guard the entrance of the cave, and then found a clean place to cultivate.

The biggest harvest of this expedition to the pig people is undoubtedly the elixir field, the number of spiritual fruits and elixirs in it is more than the contribution of the Falling Eagle Royal Family, and there is also a spirit tree with a large yield, this thing is quite rare, if there is a corresponding ripening elixir, coupled with cuttings technology, it is possible to get a fruit forest out in a short time, then the batch cultivation of high-end combat power is not impossible.

Liu Zhi's current vitality is not far from the peak of the Xuan Body, carefully calculated, it has been almost half a year since he broke through to the Xuan Body Dacheng, and the concentration of Yuan Qi at the time of the breakthrough is almost equivalent to one-fifth of the Xuan Body Dacheng, so strictly speaking, his ascension speed is not fast, especially in the few months of the tribe, because of the distraction of government affairs, the cultivation time is relatively small, and the cultivation has been improving quite slowly, but the strength of the body is continuously increasing because of the daily "overeating".

During the more than three months of the expedition, Liu Zhi's cultivation speed began to gradually recover, especially after reaching an alliance with the Falling Eagle Royal Clan, the speed increased exponentially, and the main factor in this was naturally the elixir and spiritual fruit contributed by the Falling Eagle Royal Clan.

However, even with such abundant cultivation resources, Liu Zhi's cultivation speed was not faster than Shu Yue, who had reached the peak of the Xuantian Dacheng by continuously absorbing the qi of the dead spirit, and only needed a few more days of water grinding to officially enter the Xuantian Dacheng realm.

This speed is really a bit against the sky, you must know that even Fang Shaochuan has just broken through to the Xuanshu Dacheng, and compared to Shu Yue, he has been practicing for nearly half a year.

"At my current speed, from the peak of the Xuan Body to the critical point of breakthrough, it will be enough for about three months, and if Shu Yue is concerned, it may take six or seven months, but the peak of the Xuan Body is only the accumulation of quantity, if you can't break through to the Condensation Yuan Period, there will be no qualitative change, and the combat power is not much different."

For Liu Zhi, the top priority now is always the batch cultivation of high-end combat power, because if there are not enough peak martial artists of the Xuan Body, they will not be able to get the Condensing Yuan Period Exercises of the Falling Eagle Royal Clan, which is the key to whether or not they can knock the Yan Clan, if this point cannot be completed, there is no need to think about anything else, it is pure nonsense.

Knowing that it was useless to think too much, Liu Zhigang was just about to settle down to cultivate, but Xiao Changle suddenly rushed in from outside and reported in a loud voice: "Chief, Commander Er, they are back." ”

"So fast?" Liu Zhi hurriedly got up and asked as he walked out, "What is the situation in the forbidden land?" Are any of us hurt? ”

Xiao Changle breathed a sigh of relief and said: "No one was injured, Company Commander Er said that they were unimpeded all the way, and they walked directly to the altar, as for the specific situation, Company Commander Er didn't say much, but their faces were not very good-looking, as if they were frightened by something." ”

"Fright?" Liu Zhi frowned slightly, could it be that the pig leader was really alive? If it weren't for that, how could Er Xiaoguang and the others be scared!

Running all the way to the entrance of the forbidden land, Er Xiaoguang and the others seemed to have eased up, and greeted them and said, "Chief, the leader of the pigmen is not dead, but it can't move anymore." ”

"Can't move?" Liu Zhi said strangely: "Tell me specifically, why can't you move?" ”

Er Xiaoguang took a deep breath and shook his head with a bit of apprehension: "I don't know, anyway, it just keeps sitting there, its body doesn't move at all, and it doesn't feel any breath of life, but the strange thing is that it can make a sound, and the sound doesn't seem to come out of its mouth, but ...... On the contrary, it seems to appear directly in our heads, which is very weird. ”

And this kind of weirdness...... Liu Zhi frowned, turned to the only half-werewolf who accompanied the team, and said, "Former puppet, can you understand what that person said?" ”

The original puppet's face was quite normal, and when he saw Liu Zhi's question, he also shook his head and said, "I don't understand, but the tone is very strange, it doesn't seem to be the language of the pig people." ”

Liu Zhi's brows twisted deeper, the original puppet had just come into contact with the pig people, if it weren't for the great difference between the two languages, he would definitely not make this judgment, but the problem is that the leader of the pig people, can he still master multiple languages? This kind of learning ability, in the pig people who are not known for their wisdom, is too smart!

After Sha Wu asked the matter clearly, he walked over and said to Liu Zhi: "Chief Liu, since you have determined that there is no danger in the forbidden land, why don't you go in and find out?" According to my guess, the body of the pig leader is already dead, and it should be some kind of evil spirit that is responsible for it. ”

"Evil spirits?" Liu Zhi asked.

Sha Wu explained: "After the death of some powerful creatures, by chance, the soul will continue to live for a period of time, and if the consciousness is complete, it can communicate with people, and even some powerful can even cast spells. If the consciousness is broken, they can only act on instinct, and most of the previous words will be forgotten, and the words will not be able to reach the meaning, such souls have limited power, but they are often more dangerous, because they will instinctively attack those weak living creatures, devour the soul power of the other party, occupy the body of the other party, so as to achieve the purpose of continuing to live, this is the origin of evil spirits. ”

There are really ghosts in this world...... Liu Zhi remembered a beast he met in his previous life, which was obviously able to run and jump, but it did not have the slightest breath of life, its internal organs, skin, and bones had hardened, and its entire body had very little moisture, just like a zombie, which was in line with what Sha Wu said.

"And if it's a fully conscious soul, is it a threat to us?" Liu Zhi asked again.

Sha Wu shook his head and said: "The talent of the pig people is limited, even if they cultivate to the Ning Yuan period, their spiritual power will not be too strong, and it is difficult to preserve their complete consciousness. The soul power of the powerhouse of the True Extreme Realm, even if it is just a trace of breath, can scare those lonely souls and wild ghosts to the point of urine. ”
