Chapter 24: Accidents
The night breeze whined in the courtyard, and a faint rancid smell lingered.
One, two, three...... Su Mo counted the time in his heart.
By the time of the tenth breath.
'Boom!'
Su Mo's heart beat hard, and then his consciousness became a little trance.
Then the picture began to change, and the surrounding pavilions, pavilions, bright moons, and withered willows all disappeared.
When he woke up a little more, he appeared for the second time in that strange and inexplicable black space.
The black space has not changed much, the fog is full of fog in all directions, and the demons and demons loom in the mist, and there are corpses and bones everywhere, and in the distance of the vast earth, the roar of the ancient beasts is endless.
Su Mo noticed that in the pile of bones under his feet, a path had actually branched out, and he looked along the path to the end.
There, he saw a vague ridge line of mountains, a huge mountain that towered for tens of thousands of feet!
Somehow, he wanted to go to that huge mountain, as if that was where he belonged.
Su Mo walked all the way, and the black yin qi in his body floated out of his body uncontrollably, slowly condensing into a cold and evil hideous ghost face!
The ghost face hung above his head, connected to him by a wisp of black yin qi.
Su Mo walked forward, and the hideous ghost face also fluttered forward.
I don't know how long he walked, but his heart suddenly beat violently again, and the black yin qi was sucked back into his body again.
He felt a faint pain coming out of his teeth, so he stopped and waited until the mutation was over.
After a while, the teeth became a little uncoordinated.
Su Mo touched his teeth with his index finger and felt a slight tingling.
After retracting it, I found that there was a slight red dot on my index finger.
"It seems that he has acquired one of the characteristics that the red charm has, and his teeth have become a little sharper. He muttered to himself.
"If I inhale a demon's yin qi now, I will get a certain characteristic on its body, and this feature is still the most prominent part of the demon. ”
"Then if it continues like this, I will continue to collect all kinds of demon characteristics, and I will gather the strengths of many demons and ghosts, maybe one day...... I'm going to turn into a perfect, flawless goblin!"
"Really...... It's getting less and less human. ”
No longer moving towards the mountain, Su Mo thought about it for a while, planning to return to the original place as soon as possible.
After all, the courtyard was a mess, and he had to deal with it as soon as possible.
In addition, the day is almost dawn, and when the time comes, Pengzhi County and they will rush over, and they will have to make up some reasons to round it.
Thinking so, the picture around me began to change.
The light and shadow flowed, and he returned to the courtyard again.
Su Mo first went to the previous room, and after turning into a demon, he took a picture in the bronze mirror on the dresser.
Now in his demonic state, his two rows of teeth have become a little sharp, but not particularly long.
As for the skin on both sides of the eye, the scales have become slightly larger. And the scales are no longer blurry, the edges and corners have become a little clearer, more scale-like, and darker in color.
"It seems that the inhalation of the yin qi of the red charm has made the characteristic of green scales more and more obvious. He gently touched the obvious grain of the face, and found that it was a little hard, and there was a hint of cold bronze texture.
"If these scales were all over the body, they could almost be used as armor for defense. ”
He looked at it again, and then silently recited it in his heart, ordering the demonized state to disappear and the person to return to normal again.
......
Walking back into the courtyard, the east had begun to turn white, and it was about to dawn.
He looked around, and the worst damage was in the corridor, where a small section of the eaves and railings had collapsed.
Walking to the side of the red ghost, Su Mo noticed that the demon features on its body, such as sharp teeth, red blood marks, etc., had not completely disappeared, which seemed a little strange.
"I remember when I was in the broken temple, the old black wind sucked yin qi from the demon monk's body, and as a result, the old monk turned into a human form. Why was this red ghost killed by me, and instead of taking on a human form?" he muttered as he frowned at the corpse on the ground.
"Could it be...... The red yin qi I swallowed earlier is not all of it, and there is still a little bit of yin qi left in this corpse?"
In fact, he was a little dissatisfied with the way he inhaled yin qi, and to put it simply, the movement was too big.
You must know that his current method is to release his own black yin qi, and then the black yin qi will inhale the external yin qi inside, and then condense it into yin qi beads.
However, if you use this method too much, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be noticed by some people who know the secrets of demons and ghosts, such as demon cult people, cultivators, etc., and it will be too unfavorable for yourself.
In any case, Su Mo didn't want to expose his secrets.
"There is a record of how demons devour yin qi in the demon catalogue. For example, a shapeshifting demon may swallow the captured ghost directly. As for the shape-shifting demon ghost devouring the demon of the same level, it is obviously more ferocious, and it is directly eating its flesh and blood, which is simply appalling!"
"After all, I'm different from the people in the Demon Sect, so there's no need to use the way they absorb Yin Qi. Besides, if I release the black yin qi in my body, once I encounter a sneak attack by a strong enemy, it will be an extremely dangerous situation. ”
Su Mo had a difficult choice, he could absorb yin qi by swallowing the yin soul alive or eating its flesh and blood, but he didn't really want to eat the flesh and blood of this demon with black blood flowing in his body.
With the idea of giving it a try, he touched his right hand to the place where Red Charm's abdomen was.
A cold and piercing sensation appeared in the palm of his hand, and there were also wisps of cold airflow, using the red ghost's body and his own palm lines as channels, constantly flowing into his body.
"Actually...... Can it be like this?!"
Su Mo's face was full of surprise, he didn't expect his body to be able to attract the yin qi in his body when he came into contact with demons and ghosts.
Immediately, his heart became ecstatic, which was a great reward!
He remembered the Demon Cult book he had read.
There is a record of an evil skill that can suck blood qi and suck yin and yang qi in the magic book, but because he has no demonic qi in his body, he naturally can't practice that evil skill.
But now it seems that he actually has this ability to absorb yin qi independently, but he didn't find it in time.
In fact, he had always been worried that outsiders would detect it when he inhaled yin qi, but this new way was a bit hidden. Even if outsiders saw him in close contact with demons, it was hard to think that he was actually inhaling yin qi.
As for turning his body into a demonic state, he wasn't too worried, after all, this demonization was controlled by his mind.
This means that if he wants to become a demon, his body will be mutated. He didn't want to demonize, and his body would remain like a mortal, and there was nothing strange about it. Demonization can be regarded as a hole card in a crisis.
Su Mo completely sucked the remaining yin qi in the red charm's body, and some of the abnormalities in the corpse also disappeared.
Sharp teeth, bloody tears, and slender fingers and claws have all returned to their normal appearance.
And this woman named Liu Yun was still with her eyes open at this time, staring at the sky in a daze.
Su Mo was speechless for a while, raised his hand and brushed it over her face, and the pair of dim eyes that seemed to have a little hatred closed.
