Since the last time he came out of the Sword Emperor Tomb, the black beast tattoo has been stable without any trouble, so that Shen Hao has become less wary of this thing.
But this time it suddenly appeared, which really shocked Shen Hao.
The black beast tattoo has always been a relatively passive "eating". It will only move when "food" reaches its mouth. It has never had such an independent urge to "forage" as it does now.
This is too scary.
The "food" of the black beast tattoo is all energy related to the soul. In addition to being able to make Yin tofu like evil monks do, there is also a method of killing people and extracting their souls. In the past, it was an enemy. If you kill, you will kill. It is not a waste to be devoured by the black beast tattoo. Shen Hao can still reluctantly accept it in his heart. But taking the initiative to kill people and hunt for souls is fundamentally different, and the hidden dangers are huge.
You can't give in. Once this kind of thing starts, you can't stop it. Shen Hao doesn't want to turn into a tool controlled by the black beast tattoo.
But the good news is that Shen Hao's current cultivation has made great progress, especially his sea of consciousness and soul. Now they have grown a lot. He has considerable resistance to the hunger overflowing from the black beast tattoo, at least not completely. I can no longer control my body.
However, the price of fighting the black beast tattoo is that Shen Hao's whole body is in excruciating pain at this time. From his bones to his skin, every inch of his body feels like being cut with a small knife, and even his sea of consciousness seems to be torn apart by external forces. There is an extremely uncomfortable pain in the soul.
Cold sweat fell down like a waterfall, and he finally sat cross-legged again, gritting his teeth and circulating the Qi in his body according to the "Great Five Elements Jue". This is the method Nie Yun taught him. He said that when the soul is impacted, he can use the technique to drive the true energy against the sea of solid consciousness to stabilize the soul. This is a practical tip, and now it is Shen Hao's life-saving straw.
I don't know how long it took before the stalemate gradually subsided. Shen Hao felt like he was fished out of the water. He took a long breath and slumped against the wall.
"What's wrong with you?" He couldn't say he was "angry" in his heart, because the black beast tattoo was not a good thing in Shen Hao's heart from the beginning. Although he has received a lot of benefits from the black beast tattoo, there is something wrong with the sky. Pie thing? If so, be careful. So he was always on guard.
Only this time I was really scared. If you can't bear this "hunger", you will be reduced to a complete tool, and it will be miserable.
Imagine if you were to kill like crazy just to "eat", would you become a big devil who was even more unpopular than an evil monk?
Shen Hao was tired and muttered subconsciously, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, like a needle prick.
"It's not over yet, is it?" Shen Hao frowned, pulled open his clothes, looked down and was stunned for a moment. He found that the eyes of the tattooed black beast had never been "smarter" before. It was no different from a living creature, even looking into his eyes!
Shen Hao never thought that he could see so many emotions in a pair of flat eyes, including greed, bloodthirst, violence, arrogance, pity, depression, curiosity... and even a trace of "please"? So many emotions were mapped directly into his mind, and Shen Hao was a little dazed for a moment.
He was worried in his heart, and quickly closed his eyes to regain his composure, but it seemed that his reaction was a little too slow. A strange fluctuation affected his sea of consciousness, causing him to look away and close his eyes, but he still had the strange gaze of the black beast in his mind.
Immediately, the vibrations in his soul became stronger and stronger, and the sea of consciousness churned. In the end, no matter how Shen Hao resisted, there was still an image in his mind, which was the appearance of the black beast tattoo. But the focus is on the black beast's claws that turned into gold.
His attention was obviously directed, and Shen Hao had an inexplicable reaction in his heart: Is the black beast tattoo sending some kind of message to him?
This thought flashed past, but it made Shen Hao sort out the mess in his mind.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Hao began to sort out today's changes.
First, hunger suddenly appeared, which even made Shen Hao want to take the initiative to look for food. In the end, he gritted his teeth until the hunger disappeared. Does this look like the black beast tattoo is saying to him: I'm hungry! I need to eat!
Then, when Shen Hao resisted and refused to give in, his hunger subsided, but then a picture was projected into his soul, and it also guided Shen Hao's attention to the only one that turned from black to gold. On the paws. If this is also a hint, does it mean: I don’t care, I have to eat something, and if I eat it, it will turn into gold!
Eating is the purpose, and the golden claw that led Shen Hao to notice seems to be the focus of what to eat.
Shen Hao hesitantly came up with such an idea, but he was not sure at all. Because he assumed that the black beast tattoo was a real existence with thoughts and communication intentions, and he had no basis for judging whether this was actually the case.
"Do you want to eat something that can turn you into gold?" The only way Shen Hao could verify his guess was to lower his head and speak to the black beast tattoo on his chest. Didn't he just mutter it? Change? He wanted to try it this time too.
After waiting for a few breaths, the tattoo changed again. The strange eyes on it seemed to "come alive" again. This time, they did not affect the soul and sea of consciousness as before, but conveyed something like "joy" with their eyes. "Emotions.
This...can really be understood!
Shen Hao was shocked, and at the same time, he had another understanding of the black beast tattoo: it was spiritual and seemed to be a living creature.
However, after receiving the response from Black Beast Tattoo, the problem was not solved, but continued to become complicated.
"Can you understand me? Then if I don't help you find food, will you jump out and cause trouble like before every now and then?"
The answer was an affirmative look, with a hint of teasing added to it. It seems to be saying: That's for sure, and I have more than this.
Indeed, this black beast tattoo does not only cause trouble, it can also "cut off confession", causing Shen Hao's cultivation speed to fall to the bottom in an instant.
After that, Shen Hao tried to "communicate" with the black beast tattoo again but found that the other party no longer responded and changed back to the normal tattoo appearance. But I don't know if it was Shen Hao's illusion. He felt that the black beast tattoo looked a bit darker than before.
But I was indeed threatened just now.
Dare to cause trouble without giving food! And even cut off your supply!
I can still bear to cut off my confession and so on. At worst, it will just be a show of "exhausted talent". The worst thing is to jump out and cause trouble at all times. If you don't do well, you will be easily tricked to death!
Do you really want to help Black Beast Tattoo find something that "can turn golden when eaten"?
But...if Shen Hao remembers correctly, that thing is only found in the Sword Emperor Tomb, right? !
