5. Devour
The night breeze is chilly, making people not sleepy at all. Mo Liang, who hadn't closed his eyes for two days and one night, was still sitting alone in the backyard on a cold small stone pier.
To the north, over the high wall, you can see the red sky like eternal day, and from time to time there are terrifying sounds. But Mo Liang seemed to be unconscious, and his eyes looked forward intently. A strand of black hair under the red hairband always seemed to be floating without restraint, and it was also like his thoughts at the moment.
For four years, countless days and nights he longed for the awakening of the Assassin Soul, and did not hesitate to shed blood and sweat for this. But when he really awakened the assassin soul, all that came was endless loneliness and loneliness.
This joy is shared by no one......
"Father, I've awakened the Assassin! you know?" he said softly, heading to the side to rearrange the stone locks.
The two hundred-pound stone locks that were thrown down the cellar by the horse to the east, and one two-hundred-pound stone lock, were all re-placed by him. In the case of him, this would not have been possible. It's not just about waving it, it's not easy to jump up from the cellar with such a heavy burden in tow.
Poof, showing his own stabbing soul, it is not difficult to distinguish in the night.
"Look...... I don't know what kind of stinging spirit this is..."He carefully observed, even though the appearance of the stabbing soul had been imprinted on his soul at the moment of awakening.
The thorny branches of the Soul Piercing floated softly, turning into a circle, holding up the small flowers that had blossomed from the branches. The flowers are delicate, about the size of a fingernail, looming among the thorns, and the careless person may not be able to discover the mystery in them.
Such a strange stabbing soul is not common, at least Mo Liang has never seen it. It must be known that in order to awaken the Assassin Soul, he was obsessed with studying the Assassin Soul for a long time.
"What about this Assassin Soul Rank......" muttered, this question can only be solved when there is a chance to go to the Holy City, in the village, there is no ability test yet.
He thought of the passage connected to the Instant Realm Dungeon, as well as the creation in the dungeon. "What's the story?"
Many years ago, in order to escape the hunting of demons and beasts, the Terrans had to build a city underground. But as the strength of the human race became stronger and stronger, more and more people awakened the stabbing soul, and people began to walk on the ground, year after year, but the ancestral land was slowly forgotten.
Today, perhaps in addition to the apocalyptic sacrifices and magnates, many people will find it difficult to contact the underground palace in their lives!
"It's not that simple......"
......
The next day, Mo Liang did not open his eyes until the sun rose. Hurriedly washed up, and came to the village slaughterhouse.
The people of the village, after the awakening ceremony, will participate in the cooperation of the village. Those who awaken will be assigned to the quasi-guard, which will be followed by the guard to protect the village, while those who fail will be assigned to the slaughterhouse, collection team, arrow team and other logistics cooperation units.
Those who do not work have no contribution points. The contribution point is the guarantee of village life and the embodiment of the value of the village.
Not only in the North Village, but even the Holy City and the Holy Land have their own contribution point system. In some transcendent institutions, such as the Apocalypse Academy in the Sanctuary, there is also a unique system of contribution points within it. Through contribution points, everything from clothing, food and lodging to all kinds of spiritual treasures can be exchanged.
"Good fellow, this is not a small burden!"
Seeing a giant churning boar with thousands of catties on the slaughterhouse from a distance, Mo Liang exclaimed. A fierce beast of this size, even if it is not a demon, is very fierce.
A woman in the prime of life replied, "Last night, the guards went out to clean up. That guy ran up and banged! Luckily he didn't rush into the village......"
On all sides of the wild boar, there are dozens of people cutting meat and removing bones, and the weight of several thousand catties is enough for most of the day. The woman bowed her head and waved her knife, and someone else talked. Different parts of the bones and meat, some are directly prepared for the villagers to eat, and some are prepared to be pickled, dried, smoked, and roasted, and everyone is very proficient.
"The guards patrol the neighborhood every day, and the village is very safe! Aunt Liu, don't worry about it all the time. Mo Liang smiled kindly, hurriedly took a few steps forward, took a piece of muscle that Aunt Liu had picked up with great difficulty, and put it on the giant board on the side with both hands, looking relaxed.
Aunt Liu's eyes lit up, and she looked at Mo Liang with interest, "Little Liangzi, your strength has increased a lot! ”
Mo Liang smiled and nodded again and again. The work of his hands did not stop, and he divided a huge piece of muscle, which was more than 100 catties long.
"Brother Liang, Brother Liang~"
The meat cleaver in his hand flew over, and Mo Liangtou didn't know that Xu Jinhu was here.
Xu Jinhu's short stature ran to Mo Liang's side and panted slightly, "Brother Liang, Brother Liang, I'm going to report to the Quasi-Guard! ”
"Report so soon?"
"Yes, yesterday the guards came to the house. ”
"Hmm~ Jin Hu, the captain of the quasi-guard is Ma Xiangdong's second brother, if he embarrasses you, don't hold on!" Putting down the piece of meat in his hand, Mo Liang raised his head, stared into Xu Jinhu's eyes, and admonished.
"What are you afraid of? Wait for my good brother to awaken and defeat them all!" Xu Jinhu waved his fist with a big grin, pretending to be arrogant. However, looking at Mo Liang's serious eyes, he gradually restrained his playful expression, and said, "Don't worry, Brother Liang! I'll go first~"
Looking at Xu Jinhu's back running all the way, Mo Liang still frowned unconsciously.
The three brothers of the Ma family, the second is the captain of the Beicun quasi-guard, with the strength of the three products of the ink, and the eldest is the strength of the seven products of the ink, and among the quasi-guards of the Beicun Holy City, whether it is martial arts or knowledge, they are far more than the two younger brothers of the North Village. The three brothers are not broad-minded people, and in the future, it will definitely be a big trouble.
Now, although he has awakened the Assassin Soul, the 369 of each layer of strength is a hurdle, and there is still a very difficult way to advance to the seventh grade of the ink and have the absolute ability to protect himself.
It seems that it is time to hurry......
With a silent sigh, Mo Liang buried his head in handling the prey again, but his mind was thinking about how to improve his strength.
......
Thousands of catties of wild boars, with the concerted efforts of dozens of people, quickly decomposed. Like a machine, Mo Liang has to divide large pieces of meat into small pieces that are easy to eat and preserve. The wooden barrel next to the board was filled with bucket after bucket in a moment.
Suddenly, Mo Liang, who was experienced in his movements, was stunned.
In the moment of his distraction, he seemed to feel a surge of energy inhaling his body from the palm of his hand, and his strength also increased by a few points in an instant.
He was full of strength improvement, and he was very sensitive to this, and he was stunned all of a sudden.
I spread out my palm and looked down, but I saw a somewhat cloudy gray crystal in my hand, and there was still crushed meat scrap hanging on it.
"This is, Demon Yuan?" Mo Liang was startled. Demon Yuan, only in the monster that becomes a demon, will appear. Is this fang-turning boar also a monster that has become a demon......?"
The grade of the demon yuan is not high, but this does not prevent Mo Liang's heart from being full of surprise. "Fangcai, I seem to have drawn energy from it?"
Drawing energy from the demon element to cultivate, countless predecessors have tried, but all of them have failed without exception. The demon element can be used for many purposes, such as the medium and node of the formation path, the core and components of the puppet, and even some demon elements can enter the pill, but there is no way to help people directly absorb the energy in the demon element.
No matter how you use the demon element, it always means to improve your strength, and you can't directly improve it. Mo Liang had never heard of anyone who could improve his strength by absorbing the energy of the Demon Yuan.
But at the moment of Fang Cai, Mo Liang felt that with the influx of energy, his strength had suddenly increased.
This, how can it not surprise him!
With nervousness and anticipation, he carefully tried to absorb the energy of the gray demon element. Then, something that made his heart tremble. As his mind moved, the energy in the gray demon yuan was like a stream, continuously pulling out of it and merging into his body.
"Hiss~"
Mo Liang was stunned.
The day before, he had just awakened the Soul Assassin and advanced to the first product of entering the ink, and at this moment, his strength had already advanced to the late stage of the first product of entering the ink.
This is the energy of a demon element that enters the ink!
It turns out that drawing energy from the demon element is such a rebellious thing!
"What's going on?"
"Is it my stabbing spirit?"
His mind was in turmoil, and he had experienced so many incredible things in the past two days. Unless it was the incredible awakening of the Assassin Soul that caused the incredible absorption of energy today.
This unknown assassin soul was able to directly absorb the energy in the demon element!
This huge surprise is something that even Mo Liang himself can't imagine. If everything today is true, then the strength that others can only gain through hard cultivation, maybe he only needs a sufficient number of demon yuan to be able to break through easily!
God, this is going to let others know, what kind of madness is going to cause?
Calm down, calm down! Mo Liang took a deep breath continuously, burying this huge surprise in the bottom of his heart, this matter must not be exposed prematurely! If it is a delusion and misunderstanding, if it is true, then his secret will be snooped on by countless strong people.
Thankfully, everyone was busy, and no one noticed his strangeness.
The demon element, which had lost its energy, turned into some transparent crystals, which he quietly put away. When the local meat was cut, I only heard him whisper: "Let's call you the 'Devouring Flower'~!"
......
Kitamura martial arts arena
The quasi-guard Xinding reported for duty, and the quasi-guard team of dozens of people gathered. Xu Jinhu stood in the middle of the queue, looking at the four people in a corner of the martial arts arena from a distance, and in his stocky and honest face, a pair of small eyes flashed with insight.
Ma Xiangdong, Wang Yongcai, and Wang Yongwen were muttering something to Ma Xiangfei, the captain of the quasi-guard.
"If Mo Liang is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles! Now, he has awakened the assassin soul, and sooner or later he will seek revenge on us!" Wang Yongcai said with some anxiety.
"What are you going to do?" Ma Xiangfei asked as he looked at the three of them coldly.
"Abolish him!" Wang Yongwen's eyes flashed with a fierce color, "We can't kill people, but we can! Now, no one will know about his awakening of the Soul Assassination, as long as we move fast enough, with his temperament, we will never publicize it." People would just think that he was a piece of waste from the beginning......"
Ma Xiang Fei's eyes rolled and nodded imperceptibly, "Are you sure?"
This time, Ma Xiangdong said: "As long as I advance to the second grade of ink, I will be sure! Moreover, I faintly feel that within three days, I will be able to successfully advance to the rank! When the time comes, the new and old accounts will be settled with him together!" Thinking of the past few days, a cold aura appeared on his body.
