"There are furry beast slaves all over the Shiwan Mountains collecting the essence and blood of ferocious beasts. I don't know how many there are specifically. I only recognize a few people from the nearby area, and I have no contact with them further away." Ha Gong saw it.
Yuan Ming just came to help because he wanted to inquire about something from him, but he didn't pay much attention.
Yuan Ming nodded slowly and asked the other party a few questions about the furry beast slaves, all of which received pretty good answers.
"Brother Ha Gong, I still have a question. It has been several months since I mastered the art of fur covering. When I used it a few days ago, I suddenly felt a bloodthirsty urge to kill from my heart, almost controlling my will. Do you know that this is
What's going on?" Yuan Ming asked what he cared about most.
"It's normal. It's the backlash of using the furry technique." Hagon said calmly.
"Backlash?" Yuan Ming immediately asked with a condensed expression.
"The art of fur covering is Biluo Cave's unique secret art. It can integrate the specially made animal skin with the person who has just embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, making it powerful enough to compete with monsters. It is really a powerful spell, but this
After all, strength is not something we can cultivate by ourselves, and it has very strong side effects." Ha Gong sighed and said.
"Side effects, the backlash you just mentioned?" Yuan Ming asked hurriedly.
"The animal skins in your hands and mine are all made from the furs of the ferocious beasts collected in the Shiwan Mountain in Biluo Cave through secret methods. These animal skins contain the original demonic power of the ferocious beasts, which will gradually erode our bodies to the point of
To a certain extent, backlash will occur, and eventually the body will completely fuse with the animal skin, turning into a monster that only knows how to kill." Hagon's voice sounded bitter.
"Is there any way to avoid the backlash of the furry technique?" Yuan Ming asked.
"No, as long as we use the fur technique, the evil power in the animal skin will continue to erode our bodies. The more we use the fur technique, the greater the risk of backlash, and eventually we will become a bloodthirsty monster. This is a rule.
No one can escape the point of no return." A trace of pain flashed in Hagun's eyes.
"Then how long can us furry beast slaves generally last?" Yuan Ming asked with a serious look on his face.
"If you only hunt five beast slaves every month and try not to use the furry technique, it won't be a problem if you persist for four to five years or even longer. However, if you use the furry technique frequently, there are many people who will go completely crazy within a year or two.
Yes." Hagun said.
"Is Biluodong just letting things go?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but feel his heart sink, and said after a moment of silence.
"Why does Biluodong care about the life and death of us furry beast slaves? By the way, if you can collect a thousand blood essences before going completely crazy, you may be accepted as a registered disciple, and you can get rid of the use of furry beast slaves.
It's a skill." After saying these words, a trace of self-deprecation appeared in the corner of Ha Gong's mouth.
"You also accepted this task?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Hehe, if we perform well in the first few months, the elders who manage us will privately give us this task so that we can collect as much blood essence as possible in a short period of time." Ha Gong chuckled,
He glanced sideways at Yuan Ming and said.
"If I go by what you said before, I'm afraid that before the animal blood is collected enough, people will have gone crazy." Yuan Ming smiled bitterly and said.
"That's not necessarily true. There are people with extraordinary talents. If they have not lost their minds, it means they have a strong and persevering mind. Biluodong will certainly not reject such people." Hagun replied noncommittally.
Yuan Ming nodded silently and was about to ask something else when his brows suddenly raised and he looked towards the dense mountain forest behind him. At the same time, he used the fur-cloaking technique to transform into the form of a white ape.
Ha Gong suddenly turned around and transformed into the form of a green wolf.
Five figures flew away from the dense jungle. They were all furry beast slaves. They formed a fan shape and surrounded Yuan Ming and Ha Gong. Their movements were extremely vigorous.
Almost as soon as Yuan Ming and his two men completed the fur-draping technique, a circle of encirclement was formed.
Yuan Ming frowned. Unexpectedly, it was not easy to find even one furry beast slave before, but now he met six of them just after entering the forest for a while.
However, these five people at the back are obviously not good-natured.
"It's you!" Hagun said leisurely, obviously recognizing the person coming.
"Brother Ha Gong, we meet again. I just saw the body of a bloodline crocodile over there. Was it hunted by you, right? It seems that the strength has improved again. I admire it, I admire it." A red tiger beast slave entered.
Taking a step forward, he glanced at Yuan Ming and then smiled at Ha Gong.
This man was huge, a bit bigger than Hagon's green wolf transformation. His whole body was muscular and full of strength. He was obviously the leader of this group of people.
"Zanbai, you have become more hypocritical after joining the Green Wolf Gang. Tell me, what do you want to do?" Hagun snorted.
"Hagon, last time you robbed my prey, you will have to pay ten times the price this time!" Another gray wolf slave stared at Hagon and said through gritted teeth.
"Wuli, we discovered that spotted leopard at the same time, right? If you don't have the ability to kill it, why don't you allow others to take action?" Hagun looked at the gray wolf slave and said with a smile.
"That's nonsense. It was obviously you who stole my prey." The gray wolf slave said angrily.
Zanbai glanced at Wuli with a cold look, seeming to blame him for speaking carelessly.
Wu Li felt shuddered and took two steps back, not daring to speak again.
"Hagong, Ming people don't tell secrets. You have provoked our people several times. If you are not severely punished, how will others think of me? For the sake of you and me joining Biluo Cave at the same time, hand over the blood storage bag, and I can let you go.
Leave." Zanbai said calmly.
"Seriously?" Ha Gong seemed a little moved.
"Of course, you should know that we, the Blackwood people, keep our promises the most." Zanbai patted his chest with one hand and said proudly.
"Okay, I'm surrounded by you today. I admit defeat and catch it." Ha Gong took out the blood storage bag from his arms and threw it towards Zanbai.
Yuan Ming was slightly surprised. The bottom of this blood storage bag was stained with a little blood. It was not the one used by Ha Gong before. Could it be that he killed a furry beast slave and took it from him?
Ha Gong seemed to be aware of Yuan Ming's gaze and looked over here. He put his left hand behind his back and pointed towards the left front.
When Yuan Ming saw this scene, he looked thoughtful.
Zanbai also looked a little surprised. He subconsciously caught the blood storage bag and suddenly felt something strange to the touch. There was a hole in the bottom of the blood storage bag, and there was a small black ball inside.
He took a closer look, and his expression suddenly turned frightened and angry.
The black ball exploded with a "bang" sound, and a large black smoke emerged out of thin air, instantly flooding an area of more than ten feet by the lake.
"Let's go!" Ha Gong's body turned into a blue shadow and flew forward to the left.
Although Yuan Ming couldn't see Ha Gong, he immediately ran in that direction and easily escaped from the encirclement of the Red Tiger Beast Slave and others.
"Haha, thanks, see you later!" Ha Gong laughed loudly and led Yuan Ming into the jungle.
The moment Yuan Ming entered the jungle, he quickly took out two stones from the bag behind his back and threw them left and right.
Two stones flew out immediately, hitting the jungle on the left and right, causing the leaves there to shake.
Figures flashed in the black smoke, and Zanbai and others flew out, but Ha Gong and Yuan Ming were no longer around the lake. There were only three swaying bushes, and it was impossible to tell which direction the two went.
Zanbai's eyes were full of anger and he clenched his fists.
…
Yuan Ming followed Ha Gong and escaped seven or eight miles away. When he saw no one was chasing him, he stopped.
"Hagon, who are those guys?" Yuan Ming took a few breaths and asked.
"Those guys are members of the Green Wolf Gang. Like us, they are also furry beast slaves. Their leader is called Wu Bao, and he forms a gang with more than a dozen people, specializing in robbing others." Ha.
Gong leaned against an old tree and spoke.
"You don't dare to hunt ferocious beasts yourself, but you attract other people's attention. What's the difference between this and a robber?" Yuan Ming said scornfully.
"Actually, there are not many people who form gangs like them, but most of them choose to hunt animals in groups, and only a few can plunder. Yuan Ming, with your skill and courage, you might as well find a gang to join, it will be easier.
"Hagon sighed and said.
"And which gang are you a member of?" Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows and asked.
Hagun shook his head and said, "I joined before, but then I left."
"Why?" Yuan Ming asked doubtfully.
"Different Taoists do not work together. Once a group is formed, there must be a leader and a hierarchy. When hunting animals, it does have an advantage and can avoid casualties to a greater extent. But when it comes to sharing the results,
It's not that harmonious anymore. The leader and his cronies will naturally get more, and as for the others...hehe." Yuan Ming already understood before Ha Gong finished speaking.
"To put it this way, it's better to fight alone." Yuan Ming said with a smile.
"No matter what, it is not easy to survive here. Let me remind you, don't trust others too easily, and don't help others too easily. When things are really at the end of the rope, people will do anything.
It's possible." Hagon said with a somewhat complicated expression.
"I act according to my own rules." Yuan Ming nodded and said with a smile.
When Ha Gong heard this, he said nothing more.
The two rested for a while, and Yuan Ming suddenly spoke and asked: "Ha Gong, what was that thing that emitted a lot of smoke that you threw earlier?"
"That thing is called a smoke bomb. It was made by the registered disciples of Biluo Cave. It is very useful when escaping." Ha Gong replied.
"Smoke bomb? How did you get this thing made by the registered disciple of Biluo Cave?" Yuan Ming asked doubtfully.
"Why, you haven't been to Toad Valley yet?" Hagon said with some surprise after hearing this.
"No." Yuan Ming shook his head.
"Okay, I have nothing to do today, so I will take you to open your eyes. It is a bartering place. You can use some items from ferocious beasts, or directly use blood food to exchange for some things you need.
Something." Hagun smiled, got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his butt, and said.
"Isn't that a market street? Is there such a place here?" Yuan Ming's curiosity aroused.
"It was made by some Biluo Cave disciples. Sometimes they also need things like us, who risk their lives to get things from ferocious beasts. Let's go, it's not far from here, you can walk there in half an hour." Ha Gong
