The night passed and day came again.
A bloody sun once again enveloped the sky.
Even with heavy protection, there were still some casualties in the town in the past night.
Luo Xuan was walking in the town. Shrouds with remains of corpse liquid and blood were hung on both sides of the road. The air was filled with the smell of blood, and he could vaguely hear bursts of wailing and crying.
His expression was a little gloomy, and his mood was also very solemn.
Although he sneaked into the Black Mist Continent and successfully obtained extraordinary power and unimaginable opportunities, this did not mean that he could sit back and relax.
At least for now, you have to have enough self-protection power. After all, this continent is half a forbidden area in Lingyuan Island...
'If I could enter the dreamland earlier and meet the old man, maybe I wouldn't be like this now...'
Thinking of this, Luo Xuan's face became even more ugly.
But now that the matter was over, he had no better way.
'According to the information I collected on the island, this continent is blocked by the power of the Immortal Alliance. Mortals from the outside can enter freely, but if they want to get out, they can only wait for the monks on the island who have the same strength as the family ancestor to come in. At that time, and then use their power to go out...'
'My original plan was to use this channel to get out of the immediate danger after gaining extraordinary power on the island, so I chose the Dream-Eating Tapir Secret Medicine to gain the ability to enter dreams. '
'This ability is precious enough, and coupled with the family's power on the island, the possibility of getting out is greatly increased, but now...'
He knew that the reason why he was able to sneak in was not only because of his courage and knowledge, but also because of his family's secret help in this regard.
Otherwise, even if he was a descendant of a monk, how could he obtain such talismans so easily, elixirs that reduce the side effects of fusion with black mist, and various immortal cultivation books?
And he also vaguely guessed that the reason why the family did this was to accumulate wealth.
A family that has a long history of cultivating immortals not only needs a group of extraordinary cannon fodder with extraordinary power, but also people with special abilities to make up for the lack of family curses, dreams, nightmares, prophecies, etc.
After all, the corresponding skills and secrets are extremely difficult to obtain in the world of immortality, and can only be obtained through this special method.
However, monsters with such abilities are either extremely hidden or very few in number. Only by going deep into the continent can they be hunted down and made into secret medicine.
For example, if he hadn't hunted and killed one of the dream-eating tapir secret medicine he took, he wouldn't have been able to get it.
But now that he has acquired the ability to enter dreams, he will definitely be able to gain the same status as a monk when he returns to the family.
He even got the inheritance in his mind. In the future, he might be able to walk out of a side sect and become a master of the side sect. The prospect is very bright.
But before that, safety must be the priority. Otherwise, if he accidentally dies in this place, let alone the future, everything will be in vain.
'So before leaving here, you must gain enough strength to protect yourself...'
"Luo Xuan!"
Just as he was thinking in his mind, a low, hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
Luo Xuan's heart tightened and he looked back calmly.
He saw a man with thick hair all over his body, bulging veins, and scarlet pupils, who looked like a demon ape walking towards him.
Luo Xuan's face changed slightly when he saw this. He naturally knew that the other person was not a demon ape, but a monk who had swallowed the mandrill secret medicine.
But instead of relaxing, he became even more nervous.
You must know that the path of cultivation by swallowing the secret medicine is full of dangers and uncertainties. More importantly, the hidden dangers are very great.
For example, the person in front of you seems to be somewhat sane now, but once he starts fighting, he will completely lose his self-awareness and turn into a mandrill dominated by violence and bloodthirsty.
Even if there are no other monks who swallow the secret medicine related to the soul to awaken his remaining consciousness, the other party may be completely deformed!
But even so, it is only a matter of time before the other party becomes the new mandrill.
This is the tragedy of this secret medicine cultivation path. Regardless of whether you are willing or not, as long as you want to survive, you have to continue to gain strength. In the end, sooner or later, you will become a monster!
So Luo Xuan just wants to use this secret medicine to obtain an extraordinary seed. In future cultivation, he still has to follow the method of cultivating the immortal world. This is the right way!
"Sir patrol captain, what do you want from me?" Luo Xuan said respectfully.
The patrol captain paused and looked at Luo Xuan with bloodshot eyes, which made the latter feel cold.
Luo Xuan couldn't help being shocked. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but his face remained calm, pretending to show a hint of nervousness.
After looking at it, the former's eyes showed a hint of suspicion, but after thinking about it, he shook his head, and then said coldly:
"After taking the secret medicine, the three-day vacation ended early. Now you come with me."
Then, he didn't ask for Luo Xuan's consent, but turned around and left.
Luo Xuan hesitated for a moment, but finally followed him. After all, the situation was stronger than the person.
But at the same time, he also asked in his heart:
"Grandpa, why did the other person look at me like that just now?"
"Oh." Lin Chen responded casually, "That's because you are too normal."
To be honest, I didn't even guess why the other party suddenly looked at Luo Xuan Linchen just now.
However, Lin Chen secretly used the soul-stirring method to directly steal the other party's thoughts, and knew the answer instantly.
"Ah?" Luo Xuan was a little confused.
However, Lin Chen had no intention of becoming a puzzle-solving grandpa and said calmly:
"Except for cultivation and matters related to life and death crises, don't ask me about other matters."
If Luo Jiao was a time traveler, he would most likely roll his eyes at this point: "What a cheat? No system, no points, no exchanges, no tasks... just a proud old man, bad reviews and returns!!!"
But Luo Xuan could only respond with some confusion and grievance: "Oh."
While the two were communicating, they kept going to one part of the town.
Strangely, there were fewer and fewer houses around, and the temperature began to gradually drop, with an inexplicable coldness.
When we reached the end, we found a wasteland with gray-white mist floating on it.
"this……"
Luo Xuan's pupils shrank when he saw this, feeling an inexplicable horror.
But the patrol leader walking in front of him turned a blind eye and stepped directly into the gray mist, and then the figure disappeared directly.
His expression changed, but he found that the old man in his mind made no sound. He couldn't help but realize something, gritted his teeth, and followed suit.
As soon as he entered the fog, a dampness and coldness hit his body, making him feel like he was standing naked in the ice and snow.
After walking for a while, I obviously had no sense of direction, but the gray-white fog in front of my eyes slowly became thinner, and finally a dark street appeared.
But as soon as he entered the street, the fog suddenly became thicker. Luo Xuan could see a lot of people walking around, legs and feet stepping back and forth in the fog, misty and eerie, but he couldn't tell how many people were around.
And in front of him, the patrol leader's strange shadow that looked like a mandrill was still walking in front of him.
Around him, many pale people walked past Luo Xuan one after another, all of them had dull faces and pale faces, as if they had been dead for a long time.
Even these dead people are still humanoid and normal. On this dark street, more and more strange "monsters" are walking.
Some have the upper body of a naked beauty and the lower body of a temptress with the body of a spider, some have illusory soul bodies floating directly in the air, and some have no shape, just a ball of flesh and blood...
"whee!"
Even at this moment, Luo Xuan suddenly heard the strange laughter of a child. When he turned his head, he saw a gray shadow fluttering.
A crow flew past with a child's head in its mouth. The head under the crow's beak continued to laugh until it finally disappeared into the mist.
Seeing this scene, Luo Xuan finally understood why the other person's eyes were so strange just now, because he was too normal.
These so-called secret medicine monks who have swallowed the secret medicine and embarked on the path of cultivation. To put it nicely, they are practicing by taking it. To put it worse, they are to gain extraordinary power by eating it raw.
Mortals can control the power of demons, so how can this process be risk-free?
Not to mention that this continent was originally settled by mortals, not even many monks.
Due to the sudden catastrophe, when the inheritance of civilization was almost cut off, and demonic disasters were everywhere, the path created... no, strictly speaking, it was not even a path.
Compared with Lin Chen's method, which was based on theory and conducted various conjectures and experiments, and finally formed a set of food and health-preserving methods, there is no comparison at all.
Therefore, these so-called secret medicine monks are not so much practitioners as they are demons with some remaining human sanity!
Before they lose their sanity, they are still human beings. After losing their sanity, they will turn into complete monsters!
After Luo Xuan thought about this clearly, he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and at the same time he felt lucky in his heart.
Whether it was the person who appeared in his mind now or his original plan, he had no intention of going deeper on the path of being a secret medicine monk, otherwise...
"arrive."
Just when his mind was full of distracting thoughts, the patrol leader finally brought him to a black house.
"go in……"
Luo Xuan followed his words and entered, only to find that many young men who had taken the secret medicine with him yesterday were already sitting inside.
They all had undergone various strange changes compared to the day before, but at this moment, a look of horror appeared on their faces.
Obviously, many people were frightened by the previous scene.
Standing on the podium, the mayor saw that everyone was almost here, and tapped the floor with his cane:
"Now that everyone is here, I will tell you about the dangers of this continent and the subsequent cultivation matters."
