Chapter 3: Turning into a Beast

After testing the spiritual root, the "genius" boy of the Twin Spirit Root, who called himself "Yiguo", was personally led by Elder Saren to the most majestic hall at the back of the square.

After that, the other two savages with three spirit roots were also taken away, and only seven four spirit roots, including Yuan Ming, were still carried by the naked man Hu Zha and left the Candle Spirit Palace.

After moving away from the area, Huza suddenly took the initiative to talk to them:

"I know you all hate me now, but one day in the future, you will look back at what happened these days, and you will be glad."

Several savages were frightened, and looked at him one by one, and although they understood his words, no one dared to answer.

"Is it because of the test?" Yuan Ming spoke for the first time these days, and what he said was the barbarian language of southern Xinjiang, but he was not unfamiliar at all.

"It turns out that you can speak our southern Xinjiang dialect, which is also rare."

Hu Zha was a little surprised, and glanced at Yuan Ming again, but continued to say to himself:

"How many mortals dream of wanting to embark on the road of cultivating immortals and seeking immortality, but they are suffering from not having the slightest way, although you are forced to be captive, but to be able to join our Biluo Cave is also your great creation. If one day, when you move mountains and seas, and call for wind and rain, don't forget me as a guide. ”

Huza grinned and pointed at himself with his thumb.

Hearing this, the savages looked at each other, but there were really people who thanked Huza.

Southern Xinjiang already advocates strength and respects absolute strength, and if there is an opportunity to embark on the road of the strong, it is really rare.

"What did you mean by furry beast slaves?" Yuan Ming asked again at this time.

Hearing this, Hu Zha was stunned again, as if he didn't expect that the Central Plains man in front of him had been paying attention to the conversation between him and Elder Saren.

"I have long heard that the people of the Central Plains are cunning, but now that I look at it, there are more people than our people in southern Xinjiang. However, I would like to remind you that being too smart here is not necessarily a good thing. Huza's face turned cold and reprimanded.

After that, he seemed to have lost interest in continuing to talk to Yuan Ming and the others, and took them all the way to the west.

On the way, Yuan Ming turned a blind eye to the unkind or suspicious glances that the rest of the people cast from time to time, but he was silently pondering the information that had been revealed from Hu Zha's mouth before.

Becoming a furry beast slave doesn't sound like a good thing, otherwise this Huza wouldn't be reluctant to say more, but it seems that there should be no danger of his life in the short term.

As for the so-called embarking on the road of cultivating immortals, I don't know if it is the words of this Hu Za bluffing people. Although he couldn't remember many things, he still understood what it meant to become an immortal.

He can only take one step at a time now, continue to save his life first, and then talk about other things.

About half an hour later, Yuan Ming and the other seven people came to a remote area under the leadership of Hu Zha, and saw a tall stone wall that stretched for dozens of miles from a distance.

In the open space on the inside of the gate, several fortress buildings were built.

As Huza led the crowd past, a man dressed like Huza suddenly came out of the fortress, and after a few words of conversation with Huza, he let them pass.

For some reason, Yuan Ming always felt that the eyes of the man looking at them seemed to have a mixture of pity and sarcasm.

Out of the bronze gate, there is a dense primeval mountain forest.

Huge towering trees are densely packed, each one in two or three people, with a large staggered canopy, occasional gaps in sunlight, and low bushes on the ground below.

In the middle of the mountain forest, the mist is thick, and a path weaves through the bushes to the end of the view.

When Yuan Ming stepped into the forest, he felt that the temperature around him had dropped slightly, and there were bursts of birds and insects chirping around him, and his nasal cavity was also filled with damp soil and the special smell of plants.

After entering the forest, the expressions of the few wild people beside him became a little more relaxed, as if they had returned to their homeland, but Hu Zha, who took the lead, had a little more nervous on his face.

The roar of the beast from time to time in the distance would always cause him to quickly turn his head to watch.

Along the way, no one told them what they were going to do, and none of them dared to ask, but Yuan Ming had vaguely guessed that it was unlikely that this place was a place to cultivate immortals.

Along the forest path, all the way for half an hour, there was an open space in front of it, in the center stood a blue-black boulder several zhang high, and a dark red southern Xinjiang script was engraved on the rough texture.

"One hundred thousand mountain boundaries." Yuan Ming recited it silently in his heart.

At this time, he noticed that next to the blue and black boulder, a tall gray-robed man stood with his back to them.

Hearing the movement here, the tall man slowly turned around, and it was a middle-aged man with a serious face and a serious face, his thick and thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and his eyes were a little cold.

"Elder Huhuo, this is a new batch of furry beast slaves, I brought them to you." After Hu Za saw this person, his expression was also slightly nervous, and he spoke.

"Okay." The middle-aged man, known as Elder Huhuo, nodded.

"Then I'll go back first." Huza replied and turned to leave.

After they left, Elder Huhuo glanced at Yuan Ming and the others casually, his expression was indifferent, his eyes were like looking at a few trees, or a few stones, without the slightest emotion.

After looking at it, I saw him raise his hand and slap it on a palm-sized purple cloth bag hanging from his waist, and an inconspicuous glimmer of light emanated from the bag.

Immediately after, strange beast skins of different shapes appeared out of thin air in Elder Huhuo's hands.

Yuan Ming rubbed his eyes, not seeing clearly at all, how these things were conjured.

The wild men were even more stunned, thinking that it was a miracle.

Yuan Ming put away his thoughts, took a closer look, and found that inside those animal skins, there were cheetahs with dark coats, wild wolves with blue coats, wild boars with variegated manes, grayish old apes, brown and miscellaneous bears, tigers with colorful fur, and even a blue and hairless rhinoceros skin.

He was able to recognize the furs at a glance because, although they were only half of the body, they were all stripped of the skin of the skull, and the tusks and horns of wild boars and rhinoceros were preserved intact.

Elder Flame-Calling walked up behind the men and placed the skins on their heads, half of the fur hanging from behind them, like a short cloak with a hood.

Yuan Ming's head was covered with the fur of the gray and white old ape, the skin on his face was close to the flesh of the white ape, slightly itchy, and he could smell a faint fishy smell in his nose, which was not smelly, but it didn't smell good.

Then, the Elder Huhuo slapped the cloth bag on his waist again, and seven brown leather pouches appeared out of thin air in his hand, on which a strange blood-red pattern was drawn.

"For the next three days, you will cross this boundary monument and spend time in the forest behind. During this time, you must hunt a wild beast such as a jackal, tiger and leopard alone, and pour the blood of the beast into this animal skin bag and bring it back. Elder Huhuo spoke.

So saying, he threw the bag of animal skins in front of them.

"Is this a test of becoming a furry beast slave?" Yuan Ming slandered in his heart.

At this moment, he noticed that the faces of the other wild men had changed, and they seemed to be a little reluctant, a little embarrassed, and a little afraid.

"After three days, as long as you can successfully complete it, you can obtain a basic cultivation technique, the Blood Qi Method." Elder Huo continued.

At this time, a savage trembled and said, "Elder, can you give us some tools, even if it is a stone axe or a stone knife?" ”

With their mortal bodies, without the help of external objects, it is too difficult to survive in this reckless forest, not to mention hunting wild beasts and collecting animal blood, and if one of them is not good, I am afraid that they will be buried in the belly of the beast.

"Tools? Hum...... You don't need it. Elder Huhuo chuckled and said.

Before they could understand what this meant, his figure suddenly flashed in front of them, and he raised his hand and pressed it on one of them.

As a blue light lit up in his palm, the man suddenly let out a miserable roar, causing the rest of the group to retreat.

I saw that the person who was held down by Elder Huhuo, the black panther animal skin on his body lit up, and the animal hair suddenly rose up, and the animal skin, which was originally only half a body long, actually seemed to come to life, constantly extending and lengthening, and covering and wrapping towards the person's body.

Yuan Ming looked at him, and saw that the man's eyes were blood-red, and he could see dense bloodshot inside, his mouth was wide open, the saliva at the corner of his mouth was flowing uncontrollably, and the sound in his throat was gradually changing, becoming less and less like a human voice, but close to the roar of a beast.

The process lasted for more than a dozen breaths, and by the time the man's roar stopped, the panther skin had wrapped him tightly around him, as if it had grown on his body.

And that person's face also changed into a panther appearance, but the whole person's body still maintained the human skeleton, and it looked like a leopard's head and a human body, half human and half beast.

After the transformation was completed, his body immediately fell to the ground, and it seemed that even his temperament had become closer to that of a beast, but a pair of eyes had not become a beast, and the blood-red color had receded a little, and he had a little more humanity.

"Don't worry, this is the art of fur, and it is what you will rely on to survive and hunt wild beasts for the next three days." Elder Huhuo said, and walked to the second person.

As his palm landed on the man, a terrible roar resounded through the mountains and forests again.

After a dozen breaths, a monster with a wolf's head and a long blue hair appeared in front of everyone.

Although he had seen it once before, Yuan Ming still felt that he had been hit a lot, it was incredible that he could become such a terrifying monster just by wearing a beast skin.

Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, but the situation forced him, if he dared to resist a little, I believe that this Elder Huohuo would never be merciful, and I am afraid that he would directly slap himself to death.

As he pondered, Elder Huhuo stepped in front of him, and his palm landed on his shoulder.
