A few months ago, he saw a "live" third-level monster for the first time, but he had naturally heard of this thing before in Beiyuan. There are many races of monsters with different forms. The form of a first-level monster will not change significantly when it reaches the second level, it just gains some magical powers. This type of monster is actually a bit like a "monk" among ordinary people.
But when it reaches the third level, it turns into that thin and tall black shadow. Li Boxen once heard someone with a higher level of cultivation in the army say that perhaps it was because the spiritual energy in the monster beast's body was chaotic, so it became a lump. You have to wait until you reach the fourth level of cultivation to become a demon spirit before you can transform into a human form. At that time, Li Bochen once thought that the "messed spiritual energy" they talked about might be "mixed genes", that's why it was like that.
But as for why he could turn into a human form at the fourth level, I still couldn't figure it out at that time. Now that I have heard Bi Hai's words, I think it would not be surprising if what he said is true - this is because his cultivation has become higher and he has gone in the direction of the original ghost clan, right? The ghosts look no different from humans.
At this thought, Li Bochen felt slightly frightened - at first he didn't believe Bi Hai's words, but during this time he felt more and more that many things could really be explained by his words.
But now is not the time to think about this. Now that he has become one with his incarnation, he feels that his spiritual power is abundant and his powers are vast. He then generates a spiritual thought in his heart and follows the connection between him and Zhu Hou as before.
He had communicated with Zhu Hou last night and knew that he had fled into the mountains with dozens of living dead and hundreds of Yin soldiers. Now when he looked at Zhu Hou, he saw him sitting under an old tree, surrounded by more than a dozen people. A living dead man, cutting his hair.
Zhu Hou's hair was loose, and now he wanted to try to tie it up again. But as soon as I stroked it with my hand, the hair fell out one by one. When I saw him last night, the light was dim and I couldn't see clearly, but now I took a closer look - Zhu Hou's face was blue, and there were several long wounds on his body that were not bandaged, but no blood seeped out.
Zhu Hou should be dead. But perhaps something had changed due to the previous fusion of his soul and the tiger, which actually turned him into a living dead with his soul bound - did he realize this?
But...that's a good thing.
Li Bochen then said in a deep voice: "Zhu Hou."
Zhu Hou suddenly stood up and looked around: "Zhenjun!? You're here! What should I do now? The city I finally won will be gone if I don't!"
Li Bochen said slowly: "Is that city more important than your life?"
Zhu Hou shouted: "Zhenjun, don't people live just to make achievements! Only when I, Old Zhu, are prosperous can I offer incense to you!"
Li Boxen said: "How do you know you are still alive now?"
Zhu Hou was stunned: "Ah?"
He really didn't realize it. Li Boxen said: "You are dead. Your life should have been taken away to the Netherworld long ago. But because you are my spiritual master, you will no longer belong to the Six Emperors from now on - it is up to me whether you want to stay in this world or not. Calculate."
Zhu Hou then rubbed his face and beat his chest. His face was already blue, and it was hard to see where he was going. Instead, he took a step back and sat on the ground, muttering: "Dead? Am I dead?"
"But you can move as freely as the living zombies around you, and you are not afraid of weapons, which is a good thing."
After a while, Zhu Hou turned his eyes and looked at the living dead, frowned and shouted: "Where is the good thing!? These things stink! Zhenjun, do you mean that I will stink like them in the future!?"
He stood up suddenly and kicked one of them - the living dead fell to the ground immediately. Zhu Hou grabbed the curled knife on the side and slashed at the corpse. An arm was cut open with a big mouth. There was no blood in it, but pus. The white maggots scattered from the pus. , crawling all over the ground.
Zhu Hou shouted: "Is your body full of maggots like this!?"
This person is really stubborn and dares to act wild in front of his true king. But Li Boxen still said: "If you don't like this tangible body, don't you still want to be a spiritual god?"
Zhu Hou was stunned when he heard this, as if he remembered something. Sure enough, after waiting for a while, he suddenly calmed down, threw away the knife, and knelt on the ground: "Please give me blessings!"
It was just as Li Boxen expected. This Zhu Hou's spiritual consciousness has been integrated with the former tiger of this place, and may also have some vague and hazy memories. He mentioned the word "spiritual god", and the tiger temperament in Zhu Hou instantly took over.
Li Boxen said: "Being a spiritual god is both a blessing and a disaster. Now that there is no god in Dangtu Mountain, you can become the king of this land. Are you willing?"
Zhu Hou raised his head and whispered: "This... true king, it's not that I don't want to, but the king of this place is Emperor Beichen——"
Li Bochen immediately shouted: "I can steal your Yin spirit from Beichen, but can't I still seal a tiger? You are so bold, do you want to destroy both body and soul?!"
Zhu Hou said hurriedly: "I don't dare, but Zhenjun..."
At this point, perhaps I finally remembered that "there is a difference between humans and gods", so I had to say again: "Well, being a tiger is better than being a living dead - True Lord, what should I do then?"
After hearing what he said, Li Bochen thought that Zhu Hou was a big bandit leader and was really difficult to tame. He wants to make him a tiger, but he actually wants to use him as a pawn - since the monster also wants to take the position of tiger, it asks him to cause trouble first. Zhu Hou shouldn't be a match for that demon spirit, but at least he can find some opportunities for himself.
When he was thinking about this before, he felt a little unhappy - although he had always wanted to take advantage of Zhu Houcun, he also thought that this person had helped him a lot, so it would be a bit too much to trick him in this way.
But now I understand that although this thing is easy to use, it does not last long. If you really ask him to learn more about it and gain some skills, the worst result may be to bite the master. If he confesses to being in this mountain this time, it will be regarded as getting rid of a disaster and atone for the evil things he did in the past.
But even so, Li Boxen couldn't help but think - the Black Sky Demon King Jian Chou Langbu said that he was practicing the devil's methods... Are what he is doing now getting closer and closer to the devil's path? 【Note 1】
He sighed in his heart, and then made nonsense: "First go and find a blood sacrifice for me. I want the essence and blood of tigers, leopards, and jackals, and the core wood of a century-old tree. I will worship it here one day later, with grass and trees. For the fragrance.”
Zhu Hou responded repeatedly, but his eyes moved around and he didn't know what he was thinking. But he would soon be dead, physically and spiritually. Li Bochen didn't bother to guess, so he took away his magical power and returned to the Ziwei Sky in the Arctic.
After arranging Zhu Hou's affairs, now he had to arrange his own affairs - leaving a way to survive in the worst case scenario.
