Chapter 335: Atavism
In front of the humble house, a group of natives dressed in the clothes of ugly beasts, holding war spears in their hands, made decent stabs again and again.
"Hey!"
"Hah!"
This is a group of indigenous teenagers, the youngest of whom is only about five years old, but there is a serious look on his immature little face.
In front of them, scarecrows spread their arms outstretched, and sawdust flew as the spears stabbed them.
Lin Xuanqing looked at this scene and was a little surprised, this is the Biyou Division, which is known as the lower reaches of the Heng Styx River, almost to the point where all the people are soldiers.
He and Chu Yuntong have been in this Biyou Department for three days. During these three days, through constant observation, he discovered that the Biyou Department was actually very primitive. Outside the tribe, there are many fierce birds and beasts, looking around left and right, and their tribe organizes some young adults to go to the ancient forest outside every day to hunt.
The fight was naturally very brutal.
Normally, every five hunts, a member of the tribe will be wounded, and in some cases, the entire army will be wiped out, so it can be said that everyone lives a precarious life.
And the prey they bring back will separate the soul of the beast from the flesh of the beast.
The soul of the beast is offered to the demon snake, and the meat of the beast is enjoyed by itself.
This kind of life of drinking blood has created a strong physique of the local masters of the Biyou Tribe, and at the same time enhanced their combat effectiveness. And those foreign monks, because they are new to the world, are extremely unsuitable for the surrounding environment, and they are often attacked by demon beasts and natives in the first time, and those who can survive in the end are almost all lucky.
Through the inquiries of the past few days, he also discovered one thing, that is, if he wants to leave the brood space, the only way to do it is to use something called "brood crystallization".
This kind of thing is usually kept by the more upstream tribes, usually in the Demon Snake Advanced Competition, and only the victorious Demon Snake will be allocated a certain number of brood crystals.
"Demon Snake?" Lin Xuanqing glanced down at the Demon Snake wrapped around his shoulder, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
This snake has been given the name "Lie You" by him and has become his pet.
It seems that in order for Lieyou to stand out in the Demon Spirit Snake Competition, it must be strengthened to a certain extent. And the best way to strengthen it is to let it devour its soul. He immediately remembered that if the Divine Soul Pill he had created at the beginning could refine something similar to the Divine Soul Pill, the strength of this Demon Spirit Snake in the next Great Competition would be greatly strengthened.
"Yun Tong, you go and ask for a few beast souls for that Yin puppet, remember, the stronger the better. Lin Xuanqing turned his head, saw Chu Yuntong who was following him, and said with a slight smile.
"Okay, I'll go over and ask. Chu Yuntong gritted his silver teeth and said immediately.
Since coming to this brood space, Chu Yuntong's attitude towards Lin Xuanqing has changed greatly. From the contempt at the beginning, to the present, he is almost the only one who looks at the horse.
It's no wonder that in the outside world, she was dominated by her sister Chu Yunying, and she rarely took the initiative to come up with any ideas. And now when Lin Xuanqing shows a strong side, she naturally relies on him and treats him as a role like Chu Yunying.
Such a change couldn't help but make Lin Xuanqing shake his head, but he didn't say anything.
This woman's personality is like this, it is not easy to change, and Lin Xuanqing didn't think about letting her change anything.
The group of indigenous children who were practicing, when they saw Lin Xuanqing, immediately stopped waving the war spears in their hands, and they all showed awe.
Lin Xuanqing turned a blind eye to this.
For him, the biggest hope now is to get out of this brood space as soon as possible, and everything else doesn't matter.
About a quarter of an hour later, Chu Yuntong quickly turned back, holding seven blue light beads in his hand, each of which contained a beast soul.
"Then Yin Puppet said, at present, there are only seven beast souls left in the tribe, and they were originally intended to be strengthened before the Demon Spirit Snake Dabi, but now that you need it, you will bring it first. Chu Yuntong couldn't help but show curiosity and asked, "What do you want this thing for?"
Lin Xuanqing smiled mysteriously and deliberately sold a pass: "You'll know later." ”
He immediately walked into the humble hut where he had been temporarily retreated, grabbed a flint stone from the table, put his hands together, and with a crisp "snap", the flint immediately burst into a cloud of brilliant colors, turned into little sparks, and sprinkled on the pyre he had prepared, and immediately ignited the pyre.
For a time, the flames reflected in the sky.
He immediately threw all seven blue light beads into the flames, and at the same time, his hands deftly shuttled through the flames, manipulating the flames into different shapes.
With his attainments as an alchemy master, he can use ordinary spiritual fire to transform the interior of the beast soul without the cooperation of the Qilin Flame in his body, turning decay into magic, so as to achieve the purpose of refining the Beast Soul Pill. What's more, this beast soul is different from the divine soul, it is extremely weak, so it is very easy to temper.
Lie You looked restless on Lin Xuanqing's arm, raised the snake's head, and his bright triangular eyes showed longing, as if he couldn't wait to devour the soul that had been sacrificed.
"I don't know what the effect of adding a snake grass leaf to the Beast Soul Pill will be?" He suddenly had a thought, and immediately ripped off a snake grass blade and threw it into the flames.
Call!
Suddenly, a strong wind blew from outside the hut, rolling up a flame and quickly swimming towards the fierce.
Lie You screamed violently, and suddenly retracted back into Lin Xuanqing's body.
It's in fear of the smell of snake grass.
However, Lin Xuanqing couldn't let it dodge, and couldn't help but say, grabbed the snake's head with his left hand, took it out, and then quickly grabbed the Beast Soul Pill in the flames that had been fused with the snake grass blades, and stuffed it into Lie You's mouth without saying a word, forcibly pressing its head and letting it swallow it.
With such a domineering style, even Chu Yuntong, who avoided Lie You like a tiger, couldn't bear it.
"Silk!"
Lie You writhed violently as the snake's body seemed to be in pain.
"If you give that thing to it, won't it be poisonous?" Chu Yuntong finally couldn't help but say.
Lin Xuanqing frowned, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be poisonous, but I won't know until it's digested." ”
Indeed, according to his analysis, the Fu Snake Grass is indeed not poisonous to the Demon Snake, but there is a special ingredient that can catalyze the abnormal bone of the Demon Snake, making it extremely painful. It was precisely because of this that Lin Xuanqing decided to test this fierce tour to see what that kind of mutation was.
Boom~~
A roar sounded, and a cloud of red mist erupted from the demonic snake's body, and then it saw two small silver horns on its forehead.
"Alienation? No, this is a snake turning into a dragon?" Chu Yuntong immediately exclaimed when he saw this scene.
Lin Xuanqing looked down at the Demon Spirit Snake, stretched out his finger to tease it, and showed a deep groan on his face: "It's not alienation, but atavism." ”
"Atavism?" Chu Yuntong's beautiful eyes flashed.
Any kind of demon beast has an ancient ancestor, extremely powerful, can tear the heavens and the earth, only in this way can it survive in the ancient harsh natural environment. It's just that their descendants, but for various reasons, the bloodline is getting thinner and thinner, and they naturally lose the strength of their ancient ancestors.
And the atavism is because of chance, which stimulates the ancestral veins in the body of this demon beast, so that they have some characteristics and talents of ancient ancestors.
Although they still can't match their ancient ancestors, they are far superior to their peers.
