Chapter Twenty-Four: Anger Rises in the Heart
Kurokawa looked at the demon crystal that was still suspended, thought about it, and continued to use the aura to manipulate it and put it into the underground dark river.
With a "poof", a large white vapor quickly appeared like an explosion, enveloping the entire surface of the river, and then being carried away by the fresh breeze generated by the flow of water.
Nodding, he dared to hold the demon crystal with his hand, and the black mist no longer appeared on it, nor was it scorching, and it became safe again.
However, the outer part of the crystal was still wrapped in a layer of mist-like black-red luster, and the red light inside was like lightning, and although the red-hot high-energy rays destroyed the black mud and tentacles it created, they did not cause the slightest damage or impact on its internal will.
Originally, it was intended to destroy the crystals with rapid alternating hot and cold, but now it seems that this is useless
"I didn't expect you to be so resistant to tossing, last time I thought the core was not difficult to destroy, it seems that I was wrong...... I really didn't expect that after I absorbed all the life force, you would still have a chance to make a comeback - but not this time.
Without the influence of a layer of black mud outside, how could Hei Chuan be afraid? He directly lifted the demon crystal, which was already without threat, and brought it close to the core of his chest, only to see the cyan blue light flickering, overshadowing the black and red brilliance of the crystal.
As if the sound of something being deflated could be heard, the light of the crystal dimmed again, becoming a transparent crystal.
Kurokawa, whose eyes had been strengthened, could even see a large cloud of faint white aura pouring out of the crystal, pouring into his body and core.
A huge amount of life force quickly flowed into his body, and it was the life force of the giant eel.
The huge amount of life force that weighed dozens of tons and could never be eaten by one person was easily solved under the absorption, storage and conversion of the demon's instinct.
Thinking of this, Kurokawa's eyes suddenly lit up.
It seems that there will be no more waste of vitality and materials because of the size of the demon beast in the future!
For this, a sense of relief welled up in his heart, and it was really good news for him.
After all, the amount of food a person eats is limited, and a big stomach, with the ability to digest quickly, can also limit the amount of food that can be eaten to the size of the mouth and the fatigue of the swallowing muscles.
However, the need for life force of living beings is unlimited! Even the most humble insects, after possessing the life force of a giant elephant, will gradually grow and mutate over time, let alone cultivators.
As long as you can use the crystals of this demon to absorb and transform, even if you hunt more demon beasts, you will not be afraid of wasting them, and those huge amounts of vitality will no longer be lost in vain and dissipate between heaven and earth.
"Fortunately, I didn't destroy the crystal just now, this thing is so strong and really helpful, such a useful thing, if it is broken by myself, it is really hard to imagine the heartache. β
Looking at the demon core, Kurokawa felt that he had seen through the surface of things and saw the great value behind them!
A small piece of crystal-like thing is of great value to a cultivator, far more than all the elixirs, and its importance is beyond many people's imagination.
Originally, I was a little worried at first, the crystal is not broken, the demon is not destroyed, as long as there is a chance, the monster will absorb the surrounding life force and change back to its original appearance, if you don't have the time to sanction it at that time, then it will cause a lot of trouble.
And now, he still hopes that when he catches a large amount of prey in the future, the evil demon will reappear because of a large amount of life force, and then appear to absorb the life force for condensation and transformation - I have to say that the demon that has just been resurrected is too weak, and it has no combat power at all, and it can't absorb a huge amount of life force so quickly, convert it into its own body and combat power, it is like a mobile treasure trove, which can be fattened and killed in waves.
Of course, expecting the demon to awaken and absorb and transform his life force is a very passive method, but what if the demon just doesn't come out?
The only way to absorb and condense the life force of the demon crystal and the secrets contained in it can only be found out as soon as possible. If you find it, you might be able to discard it.
Because, the nature of the core is too similar to the demon crystal, if the core can do the same thing, then why use the demon crystal?
Of course, it's not impossible to use crystals as extra storage containers, but in any case, find out the secrets as soon as possible.
With some regret, Kurokawa put the demon crystals that had turned into ordinary crystals into a small bag and put them away properly.
In fact, he already had some conjectures - why didn't the demon use this method of absorbing life force to recover his injuries when he had just fallen, but instead plundered the life force with the aura he had instilled when there was only one crystal left?
Does this have something to do with the fact that demons are parasitic creatures, such as the fact that there are many abilities that cannot be used without the help of external forces......
Although this kind of conjecture has a certain value, it can only be a blind imagination without experiments, and can only be made a note and recorded.
Then again, even if the vitality problem was solved for the time being, he was still very hungry, and even had some heartburn.
Due to the previous changes, the flesh and blood of the dozens of tons of eels have almost dried up, most of them have become ashes, and only a small part remains, and the taste is the same as that of dried fish...... It's better to be dried fish!
The taste is good, the umami is still the same, but it lacks the fresh, full of vitality of the taste, but it doesn't matter, it can be used as dry food anyway, as long as it is stored for a long time.
Another thing I have to say is that the lethality of the evil crystal is extremely terrifying, and the absorption of life from the tiniest microorganisms to all kinds of animals and plants is not spared, and there is no life on this demon eel dry, including all kinds of microorganisms, and the preservation time is far more than that of many bacon jerky.
It's just a pity that grilled eel meat has become a huge phenomenon - to be honest, even the most imaginative person would never have imagined that he could cause so much just to come out and get some meat back and continue to grill it!
However, the harvest is also beyond imagination.
Now that Kurokawa has the power in his hands, as long as he wants to eat, he can go hunting to get food, unless it is besieged by a group of demon beasts, otherwise there are no creatures in this mountain forest that can stop him.
Don't worry about what to do with the killing, with the Demon Crystal, there will never be any problem of corpse decay and waste.
As for dry food or something, just store it, this thing is originally a spare ingredient, it is to be used in a situation where there is no way, to put it bluntly, there is fresh food in front of you, who still eats dry food!
The wind blowing through the trees, bringing the sound of the tide, and the occasional sound of insects and birds mingling in it, was a little more energetic, and it was very intimate compared to the silence of the previous nights.
There are clouds in the night sky, obscuring most of the stars, but the ones that remain are just as beautiful, with a deep blue night sky and gray clouds.
The natural calamity-like intimidation caused by the battle between the real people and the Earth Eclipse Dragon had gradually passed, and the cries of various creatures had begun to be heard in the surrounding woods, and Kurokawa could even hear the sound of fighting for territory on another mountain not far away.
Not only that, but in the far north, there were already bursts of beast roars, although they did not continue to get closer, but a person could know that it was a means for the beast to temporarily stay, sending a deterrent to the surrounding creatures.
The monsters have begun to slowly return.
Receiving and feeling a lot of information, Kurokawa couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement and relief.
"There are wild beasts, there are dangers, campfires burn, they live in the wilderness...... This is the adventure! It's better than walking alone in the big forest before, and sleeping all day and day except for hurrying...... What?!"
"Boom!"
Just as the man was silently recalling the past, a loud bang suddenly came from the east.
"Does it sound like an explosion? or is it thunder?"
Stopping his thoughts, he quickly got up, sorted his packages, and made sure he was ready to go, and with a quick jump, he leaped to the top of the tree and looked at the place where the loud noise had occurred.
It was an open area in the woods thousands of meters away, and you could faintly see a flickering light like a flame, and occasionally there would be an explosion like before, and several huge bird monsters were flying up and down, as if they were fighting some creature.
"That'...... What kind of monster is it? It's fighting people right now?"
Muttering in a low voice, Kurokawa held his breath and concentrated, and the eyes that had been completely strengthened from the root and whose vision far exceeded that of ordinary people began to play a role.
While adjusting the distance like a telescope, he also infused his eyes with aura, so that he could observe the aura of living beings without being obstructed by various obstacles.
This aura is not only human, but also all kinds of other life, whether it is a pigeon the size of a palm or a strange bird several times larger than a human.
Look into the distance.
The array composed of five humanoid spiritual lights is fiercely attacking and defending these monsters, containing most of the strange birds, and some people are fighting on their own, and they have not yet shown their invincible appearance.
"Do you need me to come and do me a favor......
This is the first time in so many days that Kurokawa has encountered a human, and he is excited and a little careful, no matter what, his image is not very good.
The clothes can only be said to barely cover the body, and there is a blue-blue gem embedded in the chest, which is a strange person at first glance.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with them, and this group of people doesn't look like they're going to lose, and they don't really need help......
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, a huge strange bird spread its wings and flew into the air, as if trying to get out of the fight.
When he looked closely, his claws were holding a figure that he didn't know if he was dead or alive.
β......β
The battle wasn't over yet, the explosions and flashes were flashing continuously, and the battle was quite fierce, but Kurokawa didn't want to just watch it anymore.
"Looks like I'm thinking too calmlyβ"
Moving all over his body, the man whispered to himself, "I really can't see this kind of thing happening!"
Anger surged, killing intent flowed from the depths of his soul, remembering the small mountain village that had become a ruin, and the tombstone made of a large stone
I am ashamed of my previous laziness and avoidance, and the trace of bad roots that belong to ordinary people in the depths of my soul is really impossible to prevent.
It was a battle between a demon beast and a human! It was a fight between a race of the same kind and a different race! How could he, how could he rise up with such a disgusting thought as "ignoring it"?!
Abandon the trace of hesitation in his heart, now, the only thing he wants to do is to kill that group of demons who don't know what to do and deserve to be destroyed!
