Constellations, Stars, Phases, Houses.....

These are the four levels of the Astronomical Society from top to bottom.

Hong Bin is a peripheral person with a little strength and ability, but he can obtain the "palace position", and he is definitely one of the core members of the "Astronomical Society".

Unexpectedly, I actually met the "Fierce Palace" of the "Astronomical Society" here.

Li Changan stood at the entrance of the cave and did not move, Kui Dou and the black spotted frog guarded each other, no one moved, but no one was assured and vigilant.

The other party directly reported the name, which Li Changan definitely did not expect.

But.

He did this for two reasons.

Or, because of the serious injury, he had to borrow the name of the "Astronomical Society" to deter himself from attacking him.

Either...... It's just that someone is pretending to be a tiger.

But in any case, the fact that the other party is seriously injured should not be fake.

Otherwise, his black-spotted frog would not have been injured so badly, and he only dared to warn but did not dare to take the initiative to attack in the face of Kuidou.

Moreover, with the strength of this black-spotted frog, this person inside should be at least a third-order spirit master, and there is more than one spirit beast that can be summoned at the same time.

The identity of the third-order spirit master is also in line with the identity of the "Fierce Palace".

According to the knowledge that Fei Chengqing gave him.

The "constellation" of the "Astronomical Society" must be a sixth-order spirit master, and most of the "stars" under the "constellation" are fifth-order, or they may be fourth-order, and the "phases" and "palaces" under the "stars" are almost divided according to the strength of the fourth-order and third-order spirit masters.

But Fei Chengqing also said it.

With the strength of the third-order spirit master, he can stand out from so many secret members developed by the "Astronomical Society", most of them have good talent or potential, and belong to the best of the third-order spirit masters.

In the cave, there was no movement.

Li Changan's face was calm, and he didn't know whether to approach or retreat for a while.

The identity of the third-order spirit master made him a little uncertain.

What if the other party is just pretending to be seriously injured, or is seriously injured, but is not completely incapable of resisting, and suddenly breaks out?

But he was a little unwilling to retreat like this.

This is most likely a real "Evil Palace"!

Fei Chengqing and the others still don't know the true purpose of the "Astronomical Society", because most of the people they capture and control are peripheral members.

And now, if he can get a little bit of information from the mouth of this "fierce palace", it can make their next actions more purposeful and selective.

I can slowly seize a little initiative.

After hesitating, Li Changan decided to go in and have a look!

However, before that, he had to deal with the seriously injured black spotted frog in front of him.

Regardless of whether the other party is really seriously injured or fake, break his contract first!

"Kuidou!"

Li Changan drank lowly.

"Bracket!"

Hearing the words, the kui fight will understand.

However, before it could start to take a stance again, the black-spotted frog suddenly "croaked", turned around and jumped backwards.

Jumped hard, and when he reappeared, he was already in the hole***.

After glancing at them, he jumped in.

"Bracket?"

Kui Dou looked at Li Chang'an.

What to do?

Seeing this, Li Changan also frowned.

Give somebody a dose of his own medicine?

Or is it pretending?

After Li Changan's heart struggled, he still said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

Kui Dou clenched his fist and swung it violently in the air, seemingly a little unwilling, but he still followed Li Changan and slowly retreated.

Soon.

They just disappeared into this hole***.

When they were far away, a large frog's head poked out again

The cave, looking around, showed a relaxed look, and slowly retreated into the cave.

It's just that it didn't notice that when it poked its head out, the surrounding forest leaves were obviously not windy, but a rustling forest sea rolled up.

...

Inside a dimly lit cavern.

Cramped corners.

A person with a strong stench on his body, as if he had been soaked in mud, mixed with sewage and blood, seemed to be able to take away a man's life at any time.

His eyes drooped, and from the mouth of the black-spotted frog, he learned that after the other party retreated, he breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he showed a little regret.

Now that the plague has just ended, and the whole city is under martial law, even the people of the "Astronomical Society" dare not move at this time, lest they show some horses and feet and be besieged by a group of people.

And as one of the initiators responsible for causing this disaster and one of the important implementers of the plan, he was deeply trapped here because of some accidents.

Without the rescue of the rest of the "Astronomical Society", in the territory of the Ivory Beast, which no one dares to approach for the time being, if nothing else, it will die here.

He could already feel that even if he stopped the bleeding in time for the broken leg, the bacteria mixed in the mud could kill him.

What's more, he broke the contract, and his consciousness and spiritual balance suffered a heavy blow, and now even if he moved his body, he would feel dizzy and unable to help himself.

It's a dead end.

Originally, he wanted to see if he could trick the person outside in, and promise heavy profits in the name of the "Astronomical Society", but he didn't have a chance to go back.

Merely.

The guy outside seems to have been a little too careful.

"It's a pity for this thing..... But after a while, someone should come and pick it up."

Rolling his eyes slightly, he looked at the black-spotted frog beside him, grinning very weakly, his eyes revealing fanatical attachment and faith in death.

"For the return of my Lord, all the death and the cost are worth it."

"Quack ......"

"Rest assured, death is not the end, but only a temporary end. When our Lord returns, we will be here again in a new form, as part of our great body."

In and out of his words, he proved that he was an extremely fanatical believer.

Or rather.

The entire "Astronomical Society" itself is an organization founded by a group of fanatical believers in order to achieve a certain goal.

Rumble!!!

Suddenly.

Just as he was about to wait quietly for death, a large hole suddenly exploded in one of the walls of the cave.

The next second.

Countless roots, strips of paper, and leaves poured in like hounds that had smelled the smell of food.

"Quack !!"

Seeing this scene, the black-spotted frog suddenly became excited, and he didn't need a man's reminder, and at the same time as his mouth opened suddenly, a dark red tongue ejected out, rolled up those roots and strips of paper, and pulled it hard, like a sickle, cutting them all off.

At the same time, a ball of energy emitting an emerald fluorescence was thrown through the cracked hole.

Seeing this, the man and the black-spotted frog changed their faces at the same time.

Although the black spotted frog can be avoided, the man absolutely can't avoid it.

Therefore, for the safety of the man, the black-spotted frog resolutely crossed in front of it, and used its flesh and blood to resist the impact of this "lush explosive bomb".

Rumble!!!

A violent roar suddenly burst out in the cave, and a wave of extremely impactful air, carrying a large amount of wet black mud, blew out from the mouth of the cave.

"Bracket—"

Kui Dou pulled open the rock that had broken the hole, and while bending his waist, he walked in vigilantly and cautiously.

"Dead?"

Li Changan frowned, covered his mouth, and slowly entered the cave behind Kui Dou.

They are actually previously rooted

Ben didn't leave.

It's just that Li Changan is a little unsure of the state of the person inside, and he is not sure whether he is really the "fierce palace" of the "Astronomical Society", so he retreats as advances.

It wasn't until Kuidou used the ability of "Nature's Language" to "see" the black-spotted frog that carefully poked out its head after they left, through the woods around the cave, that he was sure that the person inside should really be bad.

But he didn't think about coming in directly through the mouth of the cave.

Anyway, this small dirt slope is not big, and it can be "found in another way".

Eventually, this is the result.

"Bracket!"

After entering the cave, Kuidou immediately saw the black-spotted frog lying on the ground, its back blooming and seemingly extremely wilted, and the man who was firmly protected by it, staring at him with angry round eyes.

Li Changan's gaze quickly swept over.

Soon.

It was at the man's neckline that he saw the pattern he had seen before, belonging to the constellation of the centaur.

It's really a "fierce palace" level backbone member of the "Astronomical Society"!

Let's put it this way.

The disaster in Molong City this time is really inseparable from the "Astronomical Society".

Of course, to completely control a calamity of this scale, a third-order spirit master alone would definitely not be able to do it.

It must have been that they seized this special time node of the alternation of the red moon, and then used some special means, either to arouse the tooth beast group, or to affect the three-eyed dreaded tooth beast.

The "Astronomical Society" knew that Jing Jing would be investigating them, and also knew that Fei Chengqing existed, and that he was deliberately leading them there in the dense forest on the west side at that time, so as not to affect the plan?

But this time, as long as other organizations react, it is no longer just Jing Yan who will target them, but other major organizations will target them.

And.

What is the purpose of creating a catastrophe?

Collecting Cores?

Or collect the flesh and blood of spirit animals?

However, because the impact of this catastrophe was too great, whether it was the Tranquility Society, the Pale Scroll, or the Elemental Might and other organizations, and even the Twenty-fourth Army of the Kingdom and the Seventh Army of the Kingdom stationed near Molong City, which one of them did not collect all these resources?

So many resources and means have been wasted.

And finally just to hear a sound?

Not.

Li Changan shook his head secretly while pressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

The person in front of him, because of the protection of the black-spotted frog, is still alive.

However, because the black-spotted frog was hit hard, the spiritual balance became extremely unstable, and it was impossible to say that he would die soon.

"Li Changqing ......"

It's just that before Li Changan could think about what means to use to extract some useful information from this person's mouth, the person took the initiative to speak.

Well?

Hearing this name, Li Changan couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw that the man grinned, revealing a somewhat strange and a little hideous smile.

Seeing this, Li Changan's heart suddenly burst out, and he hurriedly said, "Kui Dou, kill him!"

"Bracket!!"

Hearing this, Kui Dou didn't dare to hesitate at all, and clenched his fist and smashed it down without hesitation.

"Quack—"

However, the man's black-spotted frog was not completely incapacitated in the previous explosion.

Facing the fist of the burly fighter, the mouth opened violently, and the dark red tongue like a sickle shot out.

"Bracket—"

Without thinking, Kuidou manipulated the broken wood all over the ground, and in an instant, he turned into the shape of four arms, and shot at the black-spotted frog at the end of the crossbow.

Li Changan also took out the revolver for the first time.

Bang!!

Pull the trigger.

In response to the firelight, he saw the man's fanatical appearance, and was taken out by him

, a rusty thumb tooth like an antique.

Poof-

The soul bullet instantly sank into the man's eyebrows.

It took his life in an instant.

However, before he died, the last touch of "soul" was injected into the tooth.

Buzz –

Invisible dark ripples spread from the top of the tooth in an instant.

The next second.

A terrifying, evil, and filthy voice penetrated into his ears.

Unlike all the babbling I've experienced before, this time the voice is more penetrating, purposeful, and proactive!

Li Changan almost subconsciously dropped the revolver, covered his ears, and isolated the sound.

But the voice didn't seem to come from outside, but echoed in his head.

He could even see his veins and tendons bulging out, as if they had become wriggling, thick, disgusting worms.

Bang!!

His veins burst open, and the green tendons instantly detached from his body, spreading outward into slippery tentacles full of strange and evil patterns.

Meanwhile.

In his consciousness space, a large amount of gray-black mist seemed to penetrate into it.

The fog quickly gathers, swirls, and solidifies.

The silhouette gradually emerges.

It is a strange creature with ten slender limbs, mouthparts covered with hideous teeth, and looks like an insect and an octopus but also like an animal.

That little bit of sound came from his open mouth.

However, Li Changan did not completely lose consciousness and control of his body, and he soon felt that at the position of his chest, something emitted a blazing heat that made him feel suffocated.

And this blazing heat followed his body, blood vessels, and veins, and at a very fast speed, it drilled into his mind, turning into a stream of heat, and rushing towards the strange creature.

Pollution Source Talisman!

Hiss – ap.

Li Changan seemed to hear the sound of water pouring on the blazing flames, and the influence of the creatures in his consciousness was temporarily suppressed.

At the same time, from the corner of his consciousness, some special forces that seemed to have been prepared for a long time also turned into the sharpest weapons at the same time as the energy of the "Pollution Source Talisman" was infused, constantly piercing the creature made of mist.

It's just that.

Although they have shown great results, the fog has not been completely dispelled, but is still gathering strength and preparing for a long-term confrontation.

Li Changan, who was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, "saw" this scene and his heart tightened.

The "Pollution Source Talisman" is a first-order limiting weapon specially prepared for him by Fei Chengqing!

The strength of the limiting instrument is not completely determined by the level of division, and the level of division only represents the degree of harm.

You must know that the so-called all-knowing Grimace Mask Babu is just a third-order limit weapon.

This "Pollution Source Talisman" is a device specifically aimed at pollution, and its effect is usually not even comparable to some ordinary instruments, but once it is faced with some special pollution, the role it can play is definitely not something that can be described by a first-order limiting instrument.

In this way, you can't completely suppress this weird thing?

What the hell is a tooth?

Seeing that under the power of the "Pollution Source Talisman", the gray mist was still condensing, Li Changan was a little panicked.

Whoa—

But just when the two forces were at a stalemate, the black leather manual, which had not had much movement and reaction in Li Chang'an's consciousness space all year round, suddenly began to turn the pages.

The sound that made Li Changan feel like his head was about to explode was covered by the movement of the pages of the book, which was originally difficult to completely suppress and expel away.

Moreover.

The gray mist that was difficult to dispel like an appendage of bones finally made a sound on this page

, slowly dissipating and fading.

A few seconds passed.

The turbulent consciousness space returned to calm, and the evil voice echoing in Li Changan's mind was completely calmed down.

The "tentacles" fell down, and his "wounds" healed quickly.

"Is this a part of the body of a spirit animal? Just teeth, and they look like teeth that have been around for an unknown number of years, can have such an impact?"

Li Changan, who fell to the ground with a "snap", opened his eyes and looked at the rotten sharp teeth in the man's hand with a little fear.

"I thought that the things given by Fei Chengqing could be reliable, but it turned out that I still had to rely on ......the black leather manual," Li Changan couldn't help but complain.

He somewhat guessed that there should be something special in this person's hand, otherwise it would be a bit unrealistic to drive the Tooth Beast herd and affect the Three-Eyed Tooth Beast.

It's just that he didn't expect that the things in his hands would be so "perverted", and the talisman given by Fei Chengqing would be so "useless".

Absolutely.

In fact, Li Changan thought about it at the beginning, whether the black leather manual could resist some spiritual pollution.

After all, although he gained some abilities and benefits from the manual, he always felt that the manual was not going to be that simple.

It's worked a few times before.

Whether it's the mysterious archon, or the "Boundary Analysis Red Pupil" or even the ghost-faced mask Babu, it shows its influence on the spiritual level.

It's just that although he has such a guess, he doesn't dare to try it easily.

After all, if you don't get it right, it's yourself who suffers.

But now that it seems that with the black leather manual, he shouldn't have to worry too much about the impact that some of his mental level will have on him.

"No wonder Fei Chengqing said that a fifth-order spirit master of the Tranquility Society was polluted, judging from the role played by this tooth, it is really hard to say......

The appearance of the hazy gray mist.......

"Is that the purpose of the Astronomical Society?"

The first thing he felt was a fear from the heart, "If the worship of blood according to the 'Crimson Rose' is a tribute to the demon, then the 'Astronomical Society' relies on fear because ...... the source of the birth of the 'fear' attribute spirit beast?"

Li Changan made some reasonable guesses based on the information he had now.

At the same time, he seemed to have grasped the slightest hint of the purpose of the "Astronomical Society".

It's just that the information I have at the moment is still limited, and every time I feel like I'm about to catch it, I slip through my hand again.

The other side.

Kuidou also successfully dealt with the black-spotted frog that suffered a lot of impact due to the death of the spirit master.

"Whew—"

Just when Li Changan was still trying to grasp the key clues, he saw that the rusty tooth in the man's hand suddenly began to crumble, layer by layer of rust-like things, turning into tiny points of light, dark points of light.

Because the gray mist of fear has been dispelled, the teeth have also lost their usefulness?

Li Changan was puzzled, and he also saw that from these points of light, some gray-black dust-like things were peeled off, and quickly dissipated into the air, leaving behind a part of extremely pure spirituality.

And after the rust fell off, the color gradually became brighter.

"Meow! Meow!"

In the spiritual balance, there was a somewhat urgent call from Xiao Phantom.

It seems that sensing something.

After a little hesitation, Li Changan gave Kui Dou a look, put it away, and quickly summoned it.

Soon.

Some of the little illusions of the three-tailed spirit cat of the ink shadow who jumped out of the summoning formation impatiently, without waiting for Li Changan to say anything, suddenly pounced forward, and swallowed the milky white tooth and the thousands of strands of pure spirituality that were entwined with it.

"Little ....."

Li Changan, who saw this scene, opened his mouth.

I wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Buzz –

After the little guy swallowed the tooth in one gulp, a large amount of shadowy black mist like ink erupted from its body, hair, muscles, and pores.

"Meow~~"

Little Phantom made a comfortable and cheerful sound, mixed with the familiar "purring" sound.

It's like a ...... What it looks like when holding a catnip ball.

Seeing that it was so comfortable, Li Changan understood that the contaminants of that tooth had been eliminated, and only the purest teeth and spirituality remained.

And looking at Xiao Fan's reaction, it seems that this thing should be of great benefit to it.

At the same time, Li Changan could clearly feel that the spirituality of the small illusion on the spiritual balance was growing wildly.

Well?

Li Changan noticed that on the numerical panel of Xiao Phantom, the value of the "Shadow Yan" skill was also soaring.

For the first time, Shadow Derivation, a skill that is extremely difficult to increase its efficiency stats, has increased by this magnitude.

Subsequently, Li Changan "saw" some pictures.
