From the moment Ma Jiubao appeared and informed Tang Xiaohao and the others that they wanted to take back the Dragon Armor Order from the beast mother, Tang Xiaohao realized that things were by no means that simple.

As Tang Xiaohao analyzed before, it is impossible for the caravans that passed through here in the past to have strangers, and naturally they don't know how to communicate with these sealed war spirits.

Since there is no way to communicate, how can the toll be to help the War Spirit retrieve the Dragon Armor Order?

Even if they could communicate, those people wouldn't be able to get back the Dragon Armor Order, and if someone could get it back, all of this would not have happened today.

Therefore, when Tang Xiaohao took the Dragon Armor Order from the Beast Mother, he knew that he had to use the Dragon Armor Order as a threat to ask what the toll required by the War Spirit was.

If Tang Xiaohao hadn't done that, then in a few moments, Su Mu would have died, and his living soul would have turned into a resentful spirit wandering in this foggy mountain.

Although he learned what Ma Jiubao wanted, Tang Xiaohao still didn't move forward immediately, because according to the bamboo slip, they should have arrived here at Shen Shi, and now there was less than half an hour before Shen Shi.

Taking advantage of the fact that the time was not up, Tang Xiaohao asked Ma Jiubao again, "How many living souls do you need?"

After Ma Jiubao replied, Dongshan Xiaoxiao said, "He said that he only needs one."

Tang Xiaohao said indignantly, "Let him make it clear, what does he need to do after taking his body and possessing it? Why do you want to do that?"

Because the dragon armor order was in Tang Xiaohao's hands, Ma Jiubao didn't dare to hide it, so he had to tell it truthfully.

Ma Jiubao would choose the strongest person in the caravan to take possession of the body every time, and after taking the body possession, he would stay in that person's body until the soul left the body and died, and he would stay in the body for as long as possible.

According to common sense, even if ordinary undead and resentful spirits are possessed, they will not last too long, because they will produce rejection. Even if it is to sew thousands of corpses to control the resentful spirits or the undead to occupy the corpse, you need to use magic to transform the corpse first.

If the undead directly occupy the body of a living person, they will not stay for too long, because the living beings in the body are still there, and they will soon be expelled from the body.

Because of its resentment and obsession, the war spirit can stay in the body of the living for a long time, that is, the unique body-snatching possession of the war spirit.

The consequence of taking the body is that the living die, the living soul leaves the body and becomes the undead, and the original body is just an empty shell, even if the war spirit is still attached to the body, it can only control its actions, but the body will begin to decay over time.

After Dongshan Xiao relayed Ma Jiubao's words, without waiting for Tang Xiaohao to ask, Dongshan Xiao asked Ma Jiubao directly: "I'm curious, what is the meaning of you doing this?"

Ma Jiubao didn't answer, but even if he didn't answer, Tang Xiaohao knew why.

Tang Xiaohao said bluntly, "He actually doesn't know, because that's what the stranger who controls here tells him to do that."

After that, Tang Xiaohao said to himself, "What are those bone hunters doing here?"

——

In the darkness of the black forest, the beast mother and Zedu, who had not left too far, stood there and watched Tang Xiaohao and the others in the distance.

Although the two of them couldn't hear what they were talking to Ma Jiubao, the beast mother could tell from Tang Xiaohao's actions that he should be using the Dragon Armor Order to blackmail Ma Jiubao into confiding the truth.

However, the beast mother still pays more attention to Bao Meng, and Bao Meng also seems to be able to feel the beast mother, looking this side from time to time.

The beast mother wanted to go up and hug Baomeng again several times, but she was afraid that she would not let go if she hugged Baomeng again.

Zedu asked in a low voice at this time, "Mom, are we going to do that thing again today?"

The beast mother touched Zedu's head and said "yes" for a long time.

Then, the beast mother turned and jumped towards the position of the giant spirit wood, and Zedu, who was full of fear, followed cautiously behind.

After the beast mother and Zedu returned to the giant spirit wood, they went directly to a certain tree house on the lower level.

The tree house was occupied by the girl Su Mu had just seen here.

The girl saw the arrival of the beast mother and Zedu, since

Ran understood why, and suddenly his face was full of fear, standing there trembling, and shaking his head constantly.

The beast mother looked at the girl and said, "Gerna, all the mothers here, including me, will be like this, and no one is an exception."

The girl who was called Gerna was obviously also a Rouyuan person, but she was not as tall as the beast mother, she looked more weak, more like a Huayuan woman, and her appearance was more delicate, even in Huayuan, no one would believe that this kind of woman with the appearance of a small family jasper would be a Rouyuan person.

Gerna still shook her head, too scared to say a word.

The beast mother had no choice but to say, "Zedu, take her down."

Zedu stood there refusing to move, looking at the beast mother with pleading eyes.

The beast mother said, "She will only be healed from pain for a few days, and if she doesn't go down, you will lose a brother, and I will lose a child!"

However, Zedu was still reluctant to go, he knelt down directly and said, "Mom, I don't want to do such a thing anymore, please, don't let me go again."

Seeing this, the beast mother had to take matters into her own hands, went directly into the house and grabbed Gerna.

Gerna struggled desperately, begging for mercy, and the cries drew the other women in the treehouse above and the mountain boys.

The beast mother looked up at the people above, and no matter how much Gerna begged for mercy, she directly wrung off her hands and feet.

Gerna's screams of pain surrounded the giant spirit wood, and many mountain children couldn't bear to listen to it, and curled up in a ball on the spot, but those mothers were not surprised, and just stared, at most only frowning slightly.

With Gerna's screams of pain, the Mother jumped to the bottom branch with her, tied vines to her ankles, and threw her into the mud on the ground.

The moment Gerna came into contact with the rotten mud, her eyes rolled all over her body, and the black dirt began to corrode her body.

Because of the pain, Gerna began to roll in the mud, which made her whole body wrapped in black mud, and in an instant her whole body was wrapped in white smoke, and then stopped moving.

At this moment, Zedo landed on the branch and looked at the beast mother with a pleading gaze.

The beast mother pulled up the vine and dragged Gerna, who was already rotten all over her body.

When Gerna was dragged onto the branch, the black mud that had been attached to her body seemed to come to life, sliding off Gerna's body, and then crawling down the trunk of the tree like worms back into the mud below.

Looking at Gerna again, the skin on her body had been completely corroded, and all the visible hair on her body was gone, but instead of dying, she was breathing heavily, and the sound of her breathing sounded like a wailing monster hidden in her trachea.

The beast mother said to Zedu, "Take her back to the treehouse."

Zedu immediately jumped back with Gerna on his shoulder, and just as the beast mother was about to jump back, he found something, and turned to look at a man wearing a black pullover cloak standing on the opposite tree, with a gourd with a strange pattern on his back, and a black talisman painted on his face.

"Envoy," the Mother of the Beasts knelt on one knee, "you're here."

The man who was called the chief envoy jumped in front of the beast mother: "The same as before?"

The beast mother bowed her head and said, "As before, it can be healed in three days at the earliest, and five days at the saviest, even if you are seriously injured and your bones are broken, you can get a new life."

But the chief envoy said coldly, "What about the dying people?"

The beast mother raised her head slightly: "It depends on what the situation is, if it hurts the head and heart, it cannot be cured."

The messenger jumped to the treehouse above, and the mother beast followed.

When the envoy came to the door of the tree house, Zedu immediately knelt down and did not dare to raise his head.

The chief envoy took off the gourd, poured out something in the shape of an elixir from it, and handed it to Zedu: "Take it, and reward you."

Zedu took it with both hands, but he was trembling all over his body and was very scared.

The envoy comforted, "The elixir I gave you is just candy."

Zedu was still very scared when he heard this, and after taking a look at the beast mother, he still mustered up the courage to take it in his mouth, and after finding that it was sweet, a smile appeared on his face, and he kowtowed, "Thank you, Uncle Envoy."

The envoy walked straight into the treehouse, looked at Gerna, who was not humanoid and dying on the bed, and directly pulled out the dagger at his waist, and slowly stabbed the tip of the knife into Gerna's left arm.

The beast mother immediately blocked the door with her body, preventing Zedu, who was immersed in the sweetness, from witnessing all this.

He always used a knife to cut open Gerna's left arm, cutting an opening where the bones could be clearly seen, and the bones could be clearly seen from the opening, but no blood flowed out.

It's as if Gerna is a corpse that has been dead for a long time.

Then, he untied the gourd and poured out some black liquid from it, which looked like the rotten mud on the ground.

As soon as the putrid sludge fell into Gerna's cut wound, the black mud seeped into her flesh and bones, and then Gerna began to tremble, and the frequency of shaking became faster and faster, as if she had been electrocuted.

After shaking for a while, Gerna's facial features began to ooze the black liquid, which slowly swams across her head, quickly enveloping her head, and Gerna stops shaking.

The envoy withdrew his dagger, put the gourd back on his back, grabbed Gerna's wrist, and felt her pulse.

After a while, the envoy got up and looked at the beast mother: "In five days, if she comes back to life, send a signal to me."

As he spoke, the envoy was about to leave, but the beast mother did not get out of the way, but said to Zedu, who was still enjoying the candy in his mouth at the door, "Zedu, I have something to say to Uncle Envoy."

Hearing this, Zedo obediently left, and disappeared into the darkness after a few jumps, and then, the voices of other mountain boys were heard in the distance, and it was obvious that Zedo was showing off the candy he had obtained from Uncle Envoy to them.

The envoy asked coldly, "What are you going to do?"

The beast mother's gaze skipped over to the chief envoy and looked at Gerna on the bed: "I have been doing such a cruel thing for you for seventeen years, when will it be the head?"

The chief envoy said, "When you get the eternal law, when will it end."

The beast mother's hands were trembling, and she couldn't help but close her eyes and said, "What if you can't find it?"

The envoy said coldly, "Then continue until you find it."

The beast mother raised her hand and grabbed the door frame of the tree house, which was directly crushed by her strange force.

The chief envoy stepped forward and hugged the beast mother, and whispered in her ear, "What you need is waiting and patience, and absolute sanity."

The beast mother tried to break free, but was clung to by the envoy: "Of all the watchmen on this path, you are the most important and unique one, believe me, this time it is true, because the one who can end everything has returned."

Someone who can end it all is back?

Come back?

Bao Meng?

The beast mother couldn't help but blurt out, "What are you going to do to Baomeng?"

"No, no, no," the messenger still clung to the beast mother, "we won't hurt her, because she's too important."
