After Qin Bai approached the uninhabited mountain village, he found a huge stone tablet erected outside, with "Nigou Village" clearly engraved on it.
The open space was full of panicked footprints, but they stopped abruptly at the entrance of the village. Other than that, it seemed like nothing happened in the village.
Qin Bai even discovered that the iron pot on the stove was still warm in one room, which showed that the place was still peaceful not long ago.
He found no trace of any living person, and it was puzzling that he seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
The little monkey curled up restlessly. It became extremely nervous and clung to Qin Bai's clothes.
Qin Bai did not go to his destination immediately. The closer he got, the more uneasy he felt.
He examined it carefully, not wanting to miss any clues.
Qin Bai soon found something, and he found a clue on an old wooden table.
For some reason, the texture of the wooden table gave him the feeling of human skin.
Qin Bai opened the tabletop, and the cross-section inside confirmed his guess.
In addition to human skin, the textures also include muscles and bones, as if a person had turned into a living wooden table.
And not only wooden tables, but also stone mills, bed boards, etc. had the same situation, which made Qin Bai think of some possibility.
Whether it is the demonic energy in Tiaotiao's body or the demonic energy in the demon he just encountered, these demonic auras seem to be independent of the body and have unique life characteristics.
As long as such a weird evil spirit can be integrated into dead objects such as furniture and turn into a demon, it can easily devour living people, eventually forming this unique phenomenon.
Qin Bai determined the difficulty level of the demon he was going to deal with, and then he headed in the direction pointed by Tiaotiao.
I didn't encounter anything strange along the way, but I could see the bones of many animals, which shows how tragic the situation was at that time.
Some of the broken monster corpses had neat cuts on them, as if someone had scratched them with a sharp sword.
Could it be that besides the donkeys and the demons, someone else could be involved.
But at least it proved that Qin Bai was a friend rather than an enemy. Soon he arrived at his destination. It was a deep and dark cave, and the cold wind blowing in his face was extremely biting.
The hair all over Tiao Tiao's body stood up. It seemed to remember something and kept baring its teeth on Qin Bai's shoulder.
Qin Bai only felt that there was a noise maker in his ears. He touched Tiaotiao's head to calm it down.
It's a pity that I can only speak donkey and horse language, not ape language, otherwise I would be able to understand what happened.
Because the temperature in the cave was extremely low and the jump had not yet recovered from its injuries, Qin Bai specially exchanged a piece of cold-proof fishing clothing for it to put on from the Points Mall before stepping into it.
The entrance to the cave was not narrow, but it was still a bit low for Qin Bai's body of more than two meters, so he had to bend forward.
After all, the flying sword was too much of an eyesore when he was near the enemy, so he put it away and the flashlight light was enough.
The cave was obviously going underground, and the moisture in the air was getting heavier. As Qin Bai went deeper, the landscape began to change.
There are many blue-emitting mushrooms growing on the hard rock wall. They are only the size of a fist. When touched lightly, the spores will explode.
Tiaotiao was very frightened by the spore powder. It grabbed Qin Bai's head and kept screaming.
Qin Bai took out his itchy ears. The monkey beside him was so irritated when he was startled that he simply swallowed Tiaotiao into the aquarium to avoid affecting his thoughts.
Continuing downward, the ground is covered with a thick layer of moss, and luminous fungi become more and more common.
He noticed the corpses of some animals or demons, mostly apes.
Thinking about it, such a narrow terrain without cover is not suitable for apes to perform at all, and will even be greatly restricted. Other mammals have no similar impact.
But it also made Qin Bai even more worried. He had always taught these four beasts carefully, and never skimped on all kinds of dishes, just like his disciples.
Judging from the talents of the donkeys and beasts, they all hope to touch the golden elixir of martial arts in the future. It would be a pity if they were to lose it here.
Suddenly, Qin Bai's nose moved slightly, and an extremely strong smell of blood wafted over.
He quickly quickened his pace and rushed over.
I saw hundreds of corpses piled up not far away, with various body parts and fragments scattered on the ground, eventually becoming food for moss.
The corpse almost blocked the entrance of the cave, and the cold wind blowing in the face came from the gaps.
Qin Bai's face became serious. Fortunately, most of these corpses were demons.
He looked around with his spiritual thoughts, his eyes showed surprise, and there was a tenacious vitality in them.
The silverback orangutan leaned cross-legged on the mountain of corpses, its chest and abdomen still heaving, and the blood flowing from its mouth and nose dyed its hair red.
Qin Bai immediately recognized the other person. This silverback gorilla was the most capable subordinate of the old ape. He was excellent in both cultivation and talent. He didn't know where he was kidnapped from.
The silverback, apparently near death, heard movement and opened its eyes.
Animals can usually see in the dark, so they recognized Qin Bai immediately when they saw him.
The silverback gorilla raised his arms feebly, and then his breathing became intermittent, and he was about to die.
Qin Bai quickly came to its side, and his true energy and strength poured into his body, forcibly maintaining the vitality of the silverback orangutan from making a decision.
Then he took out a large amount of recovery ingredients, ground them into powder, mixed them with water and gave them to the silverback orangutan to eat.
The only trouble is that the silverback orangutan has a lot of ownerless evil energy inside its body, and there is also a steady stream of evil energy from the outside world integrated into it.
Qin Bai moved the body of the silver-backed gorilla and laid it flat on the ground. He was about to force the evil spirit out, but found that the howling evil wind was blowing.
It turns out that the reason why the silverback orangutan sat under the mountain of corpses was actually to block the gap.
Now as soon as its body leaves, the wind force suddenly increases several times, and even more so the evil spirit it contains.
These evil spirits surrounded Qin Bai and finally merged into a few spores that fell on him.
Stimulated by this weird demonic energy, the spores instantly transformed into demons that were invisible to the naked eye and penetrated directly into Qin Bai's pores.
Qin Bai snorted coldly, and the muscles all over his body became as hard as steel, and the spore demon mouse macro turned into powder, but the demonic energy still penetrated into his internal organs without giving up.
But before the demonic energy could get closer, a suction force came from his stomach.
Qin Bai opened his mouth and inhaled the nearby demonic energy into the aquarium, then took out debris from the fish bag and blocked the gap on the corpse mountain.
There were quite a few of these evil spirits, and they wandered around in the aquarium for a while before heading towards the barren mountain.
Only then did he notice where the strange demonic energy that had been missing had gone, and it was actually integrated into the barren mountains.
And this barren mountain is in the process of extremely slow demonization...
Qin Bai was a little stunned for a moment. This evil spirit was even weirder than he imagined. It seemed that it could demonize whatever it blended into.
It’s no wonder that the silverback orangutan will desperately block the gap in the corpse mountain. Once the evil spirit is allowed to spread to the outside world, it may lead to unpredictable disasters.
Qin Bai lowered his head and continued to treat the silverback gorilla's injuries. In fact, the most serious thing was the demonic energy in its body, which began to stabilize after it was forced out.
The bleeding soon stopped as the beast's powerful life force gradually took effect.
Coupled with the influence of a large amount of food, the silverback orangutan woke up in a moment. The moment he opened his eyes, a burst of accumulated energy burst out.
Roar! ! !
In a short period of time, Jin Qi has climbed to the peak of Ming Jin, and is only one step away from An Jin.
Qin Bai couldn't help but sigh at the beast's talent in martial arts. A realm that ordinary warriors might have been unable to reach in their entire lives could be achieved so easily.
However, the environment between beasts and humans is also very different. Beasts are always fighting against natural enemies and nature, and the wild nature in their bones promotes the growth of strength.
The silverback gorilla lowered his head respectfully in front of Qin Bai.
The old ape is the most unruly, but at the same time because he was raised by humans, his loyalty is unquestionable.
The silverback orangutan looked towards the mountain of corpses, as if there was a powerful enemy hidden behind it.
Qin Bai patted its back, then moved a gap in the mountain of corpses and got in, followed closely by the silverback orangutan.
Behind the mountain of corpses, there was a strong wind, and the demonic energy was almost overwhelming. Qin Bai and the silverback orangutans had the energy to protect their bodies, which was no big deal, but they were somewhat uncomfortable.
After walking in tandem for a long time, the two reached the end of the cave. What they saw was an abyss of 100 meters.
The strong wind blows from it, and almost all the demonic energy gathered in the sky has formed a solid body.
The silverback gorilla started dancing excitedly, beating its chest with both arms, pointing at the abyss and shouting.
The corners of Qin Bai's eyes twitched. Sure enough, apes, regardless of size, were noisy. His head started to hurt.
He also discovered something strange. Many fingerprints could be seen on the stone walls of the abyss, which seemed to have been left by silverback orangutans and other apes.
It is very likely that the donkeys entered the abyss and were trapped in it. In the end, only a few apes climbed up relying on their physical advantages.
Qin Bai tried to communicate with the silverback orangutan using gestures.
It looked as he expected, and the donkeys and the others should be fine for the time being, but the situation was very urgent, and there were a lot of demons under the abyss.
He considered how to fall down, and his sword control skills had improved a lot during this time.
At least it is very flexible when flying while lying down, but it is still a bit too eye-catching, so it needs to be more low-key.
Qin Bai decided to find an opportunity to raise some giant birds in the aquarium to avoid being in an embarrassing situation in the future.
Seeing that he had no reaction, the silverback gorilla suddenly took off and jumped into the abyss.
Seeing that it was about to fall into it, Qin Bai opened his mouth and swallowed the silverback orangutan into the aquarium.
It is still unknown what is going on under the abyss, so being so reckless is not like taking the initiative to deliver food.
Qin Bai poured his consciousness into the aquarium, and then relied on absolute control to force out the demonic energy in the desert island.
This group of evil spirits is already the size of a basketball, and seems to be full of spirituality, constantly struggling to reintegrate into the deserted island.
It’s hard to imagine what it will be like when a deserted island is completely demonized.
The desert island is also capable of growth. As the aquarium expands, the area of the desert island will further increase. If it turns into a monster, even the dragon fish may not be able to suppress it.
Fortunately, judging from the progress of demonization, even if we don't stop it, it will take at least hundreds of years.
Qin Bai tried to use his strength to suppress the demonic energy, but found that it would only hurt both sides, and the effect of the true energy was average.
But when he switched to Buddha Qi, the demonic Qi suddenly became trembling and completely lost its original appearance.
Seeing this, Qin Bai simply spit out the demonic energy from the aquarium, put it on his palm and wrapped it with Buddha's light.
After examining it with his spiritual sense, he felt that the demonic aura seemed to contain a strange aura, which was somewhat like the power of the will of all sentient beings to be incorporated into the food, but it was more filthy.
It’s hard to imagine what kind of demon this evil spirit comes from...
Qin Bai hesitated for a moment, then gradually let go of the Buddha's light, guiding the demonic energy to integrate into his body.
Whether it is from the silverback orangutan or Tiaotiao, it can be seen that it is difficult for demonic energy to completely demonize a beast with strong energy to protect its body.
So Qin Bai wanted to try to control the demonization.
After all, there are foreseen to be a large number of demons under the abyss, and there are even sources emitting strange demonic energy, so we have to be careful.
The demonic energy was so hungry that it flowed down Qin Bai's body's meridians like a tide towards all parts of his body.
Especially Niwan Palace, there is a lot of evil energy trying to pour into it.
However, Qin Bai had already obtained the first fruit, Ksitigarbha's robes were added to his soul, and the demonic aura would turn into smoke and dissipate whenever he got close to it.
After several unsuccessful attempts, the evil spirit stopped trying to enter Niwan Palace.
The demonization of Qin Bai's body continued. His height began to approach three meters, and his muscles also grew to varying degrees.
The dragon fish egg in the deepest part of the aquarium started to shake, but it soon returned to calm. It only scared the nearby aquatic fish and hid behind the rocks.
Qin Bai felt tingling and itching all over his body, like countless ants crawling around, and his forehead was covered with sweat despite the effort.
His hair began to fall off, and then his skin became more and more tough, fine scales grew out, and his hands and feet gradually turned into sharp claws.
But then the demonization trend got out of control, and he immediately activated his Buddha energy. After a burst of golden light burst out from his body, his body stopped changing.
Qin Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Through his inner vision, he could detect that every trace of demonic energy was blocked by Buddha's energy.
After all, demonization is a crooked way. As a conventional method, it does more harm than good. He is just trying to hide himself among the demons. It seems feasible for now.
Except for Qin Bai, it would be difficult for others to do this. After all, they don't have such a body of steel at all.
The only thing he had to be careful about was not to use his strength or true energy. If the demonic energy rioted, he might completely turn into a human-monster.
Qin Bai touched his face and suddenly couldn't help but uttered a curse word.
"Nima..."
He quickly took out a mirror and looked at it, and couldn't help but feel more familiar with it.
Now his image looks a bit like the Silver Horned King in Journey to the West.
There is a layer of fine silver scales all over his body and two horns on his head. Of course, Qin Bai's horns are more like dragon horns.
"Forget it, no one will recognize it anyway."
