It is obvious that the actions of the demons are purposeful. After the corpse is absorbed by the tree roots, the only light red fruit on the tree becomes more and more full. What is even weirder is that the spiritual energy in the space is also rapidly increasing. Transformed into demonic energy, even the spiritual veins are no exception, they are also transforming into demonic veins step by step.
Jiang You also realized the seriousness of the problem. After his cultivation reached the golden elixir stage, he no longer simply used the spiritual power in his body as the energy source for fighting. Instead, he used his own spiritual power as a guide to mobilize the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and increase the vitality. The power of magic is the reason why the combat power of Jindan monks far exceeds that of Foundation Establishment monks.
But once the Yuanling Qi between heaven and earth is replaced by demonic Qi, it also means that no matter how high the monks are, they can only fight like foundation-building monks. The loss of strength during this period can be imagined. Moreover, the lack of spiritual energy around means that the conditions for replenishment and recovery through breathing are lost. Even if spiritual stones or elixirs can be used as substitutes, it will not last long after all, which means that Tianmen County will no longer be suitable for human survival.
This may be the ultimate goal of the demons. Although the cultivation level of the demons in front of them is not very high, if Tianmen is really transformed into a demon domain by this giant tree, it will be difficult for even the army from the capital to attack. After all, there is no Yuan. With the mobilization of Ling Erqi, even if Huo Qing is really resurrected, he will only be a stronger peak foundation-building monk.
Thinking of this, Jiang You became inexplicably nervous. The reason why they were able to hold on to the royal mausoleum in the first place was that a third-level spiritual vein in the cemetery played a great supply role. If this spiritual vein was also transformed into a demonic vein by the roots of the giant tree, The cemetery will only destroy itself without attack.
But even if he wanted to stop it, he couldn't do anything. After all, it was not easy for the cemetery defenders to hold on, so why bother attacking? Not to mention that the giant tree is very weird, and there is no way to destroy it.
So it's useless to be anxious at this time. It's better to find an opportunity to blend in, and maybe you can detect useful information.
But just when Jiang You started looking for a new disguise, a red-haired man suddenly stared at the dark-feathered eagle hovering in the sky, followed by the spiritual connection between the blood demon and the blood slave.
After switching to Dark Feather Eagle's body, Jiang Youye naturally inherited Dark Feather Eagle's blood slave identity, so the physical and mental suppression still existed, but after all, this was not Jiang You's own body, so she naturally didn't care about Dark Feather Eagle. Life and death, so there is no need for Jiang You to feel afraid, but he has to say that this feeling is really not something that ordinary people can bear. It is no wonder that golden elixir monks like Jade Fairy would be obedient to him.
But the red-haired man also quickly felt the spiritual resistance coming from Dark Feather Eagle's sea of consciousness, which also surprised the red-haired man. You must know that Dark Feather Eagle's life and death depend on his thoughts. Such spiritual resistance is completely natural. Seeking death.
After all, he was a blood slave who had finally subdued him. The red-haired man didn't want to give up just like that. He increased the physical pain of Dark Feather Eagle and at the same time issued another order for Dark Feather Eagle to surrender.
At this time, Jiang You also began to regret sealing the Dark Feather Eagle. The shackles of this blood slave were really unbearable. The most uncomfortable moment in the Marrow Refining Furnace was like this. It's impossible to make Jiang You surrender. At worst, it will be a dead end.
So before the red-haired man had any thoughts of killing him, Jiang You fell to the ground. After all, compared to the dangerous city and the sweeping countryside, the woods in the mountains were the best choice.
Seeing that the Dark Feather Eagle was so difficult to tame, the red-haired man finally chose to kill it. Before it fell to the ground, Jiang You's whole body turned into blood mist. Fortunately, everything was borne by Dark Feather Eagle's body, so Jiang You's body did not suffer much damage, but it also turned into his true body because Dark Feather Eagle's body dissipated.
Fortunately, he had submerged into a forest at this time, so no one noticed the entire conversion process. But even so, his body continued to fall to the ground. If his physical body was not inherently strong, he would have been seriously injured even if he did not fall to death.
But no matter what, he was still dizzy and in pain at this time, but it was much better than the pain of the blood slave just now. It seems that blood slaves without autonomy cannot be sealed in the future, if the Dark Feather Eagle is the true body. , he really wasn’t sure he could persist.
After waking up a little, Jiang You also remembered that he was not wearing any clothes. After all, Dark Feather Eagle did not need to wear clothes, so he remained naked after Dark Feather Eagle died.
It happened that a group of people entered the range of his consciousness at this time, so he did not dare to waste any more time and switched to Lin Xu's body.
Although she confirmed that the people around her were humans, she had not forgotten what was happening now. How could there be humans wandering around in this land controlled by demons? That's why she chose Lin Xu's body. After all, although Lin Xu had been practicing the Inner Demon Art for a short time, he had more or less demonic energy. If the opponent was also a demon with hidden demonic energy, she could deal with it in time.
After putting on their clothes, the group of people got closer and closer, and Jiang You's spiritual detection became clearer and clearer. It seemed that they were really a group of ordinary humans, without even any cultivation. But the strange thing is that their clothes are not like people from the Central Plains. Their clothes are all made of animal skins and leaves, and even the weapons in their hands are simply processed from animal bones.
Traveled through time again? Jiang You wondered in her heart, she just fell down and came to Xinghai Town. If she fell from the sky this time, wouldn't she be able to travel back to primitive society?
But this is just a thought, because she can still sense the magic in the air, and can even see the magic tree in the city through the gaps in the branches.
Now that the demons have taken over this place, what happened to the primitive people without demonic energy? So she didn't choose to leave, but stayed to see what kind of existence these people were.
The primitive people finally saw Jiang You, but what they didn't expect was that they all knelt down after seeing the demonic energy emanating from Lin Xu's body.
"Slaves pay their respects to the superior demon! Please forgive us for disturbing us!"
Slaves? Demonized? Could it be that this group of people are human beings held captive by demons? After all, the demons live by killing humans, which is essentially a symbiotic relationship, so it is not difficult to understand why they keep humans in captivity.
Since they are kept in captivity, it is not difficult for Jiang You to imagine that their status may be lower than those of blood slaves, right? Thinking of this, Jiang You also gave up the idea of pretending to be them, and since they already believed that they were demons, they should continue to use Lin Xu's identity.
So Jiang Youya could only say coldly: "What are you doing here?"
A big man wearing animal skins replied: "My master saw something falling, so he asked us to come over and take a look."
Jiang You nodded and said: "Like you, I discovered that a dark-feathered eagle was killed by its owner, and now only the smell of blood is left."
"That's it. Thank you, Lord Demon, for informing me. Then we will retire." The big man said hurriedly and respectfully.
"Wait!" Jiang You shouted hurriedly: "Where are you going?"
"We don't know either." The big man replied, "The master only told us to move to the city."
"Moving?" Jiang You murmured. It seems that the demons really plan to settle down in Tianmen.
"I wonder if the demon has any other instructions?" the big man asked again.
Jiang You had an idea. Although he was considered a demon, he was still confused about this place. If someone was his guide, it would be much easier to sneak into the city.
So she continued: "I have just arrived here and am unfamiliar with life. I wonder if I can go with you?"
The big man was stunned when he heard this, and then he could only smile bitterly and said: "The demon should know that we are just slaves and have no right to make decisions. So, I will take you to see my master."
Jiang You nodded and said, "Then it's time to work."
The big man was stunned again. How could this demon be so polite to him? You must know that other demons treat them like animals. But he felt even more scared, because in their impression Jiang You, a seemingly easy-going demon, was a hundred times more terrifying than other demons.
So the big man did not dare to refute, and quickly led Jiang You to a team of several hundred people on the road. In the center of the team was a sedan carried by sixteen people. A blood demon young master in white was standing with two The young blood slave indulged in lust there.
"Master, there is a Lord Demon who wants to travel with us." The big man ran to the sedan and asked for instructions.
"Going to the devil? You dare to cause trouble for me! Believe it or not..." Young Master Blood Demon said angrily, but when he saw Jiang You's figure, his eyes immediately straightened.
Lin Xu was originally a woman with an extremely hot figure. After countless temperings in the consciousness space, her appearance and figure have improved several levels. Not to mention the original Xinghai Town, even Tianmen County did not have many women. Comparing with her, such beauty naturally made the eyes of the Blood Demon Master, who had been staying in the blood pool and could not go out, become dizzy, and even the two young blood slaves beside him became unsatisfied.
The Blood Demon Master quickly packed up his clothes, and after he was satisfied, he walked up to Jiang You and said diligently: "The seventh-grade Blood Demon Xueyu has seen your Taoist friend, but I don't know your name."
"Lin Xu." Jiang You said truthfully. After all, there is really no need to lie about this name. Telling too many lies may be self-defeating.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Lin." Xue Yu said with a smile, "I wonder which path Fellow Daoist Lin has cultivated and what level of demonic nature he has practiced?"
During this period of time, Jiang Youke had been studying the knowledge related to magic cultivation. In addition, she already had the memory of Princess Zixiao, so she also understood the meaning of Xueyu.
This so-called demonic nature is equivalent to the qualifications of a human monk, but there are certain differences. For the inner demon and the phantom demon, the demonic nature refers to the compatibility with the skills, while for the blood demon and corpse demon, it is the bloodline. In terms of purity, a blood demon demonized by an ancestor-level blood demon is of the first level, while a blood demon demonized by a first-level blood demon is of the second level, and so on.
Of course, this is not absolute. After all, bloodline can be strengthened through other methods, but it is very difficult, just like humans improving their qualifications.
For Jiang You, the compatibility with the Heart Demon Art has reached 60%. If the compatibility is to be improved, he must deal with the inner demons. Unfortunately, the inner demons cannot be solved just because they can be solved, otherwise they will not be able to solve them. Called the inner demon.
But even so, Jiang You can already be regarded as a fourth-level inner demon, and his qualifications are not much different from those of the Earth Spiritual Root. In order to avoid trouble, Jiang You can only answer: "Eighth-level inner demon."
"Inner demon?" Xueyu said in surprise, "I didn't expect that there are inner demons in this world."
"Are there few inner demons?" Jiang You asked doubtfully.
Xueyu was also puzzled: "Aren't you from the Blood Demon Realm?"
Jiang You nodded and said, "I'm just a little demon cultivator hiding in the human world. I came here specifically to seek refuge when I saw the presence of my companions here."
"I see, no wonder they are wearing the clothes of a human monk. This makes it easier to explain." Xueyu suddenly realized, "How about it? It's hard to survive in the human world, right? But don't worry, this will be our demon country from now on. , I will also protect you well."
"Thank you very much, sir." Jiang You said with a slight salute.
Xueyu's face was filled with joy, so he quickly extended his hand and said, "Then please get in the sedan, Miss, and we'll chat while we walk."
