Chapter 929 The place where evil spirits are raised
The scorpion woman came back to her senses, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and after feeling it seriously for a while, her expression became much more solemn.
"It seems like this...why did the evil spirit suddenly increase?"
"Maybe it has something to do with them eating those fruits."
Xu Chunliang took a deep breath, and his eyes shone brightly, "Where the evil spirit is stronger, the rain will fall harder. The rain has stopped just now, but it has started to rain again. It's time to leave here."
The scorpion woman still remembered the direction in which the two groups of people left earlier, and deliberately chose a road to avoid the crowd.
The two of them were now very weak. If they were bumped into by those people, they would probably be captured and used as food for the strange tree.
The scorpion woman concealed her figure and continued walking along a place with less evil spirits. After entering a sparse forest, the rain that had fallen all day finally stopped.
Along the way, they met many monks one after another.
Some of these people are spiritual cultivators, some are demon cultivators, and they all live in groups of twos and threes.
They are very vigilant, and after noticing the presence of Xu Chunniang and Scorpion Woman, they will subconsciously distance themselves from them.
"I'm so hungry. I feel hungrier than before."
After the scorpion woman climbed up a tall tree with Xu Chunliang, she rubbed her belly and looked into the distance, trying to find something edible.
At this glance, she really discovered something.
"Look, sir, are those two people chewing on tree bark? And there, are those three people digging up tree roots to eat?"
Xu Chunliang looked over when he heard the sound. He didn't know what to say for a while. He had just been hungry all day. He didn't even eat the bark and roots of the tree, right?
The scorpion woman's eyes showed a glimmer of desire, and her mouth began to secrete saliva crazily.
"These bark and roots look quite chewy, and the juice must be very rich. They seem to be really edible. Why didn't I think of that? Although the taste must be a bit worse..."
As she said this, the scorpion woman's eyes locked on a small bud, and she tried to break it off with all her strength.
"etc."
Xu Chunliang stopped the scorpion woman's movements, "Let's see if they have any adverse reactions after eating the bark and roots."
The scorpion woman took back her hand, waited patiently for a while, and found that those people did not feel any discomfort after eating the bark and roots.
She cheered up a little, "Sir, these things seem to be really edible!"
Xu Chunniang frowned, "Although the surrounding evil spirits have not changed, I still feel something is not right. It is best not to touch these trees."
"But, I'm really hungry..."
The scorpion woman blinked, with a begging look on her face, "How about I take one bite, just one bite?"
"Really hungry?"
The scorpion woman nodded wildly, "I'm so hungry!"
She didn't feel anything at first, but after seeing other people eating and learning that the bark and roots could also be eaten, she only had the thought of eating.
Xu Chunliang remained silent and took out a dagger and a bowl-shaped magic weapon from the small world.
After cutting open the palm with a dagger, blood flowed out of the palm and fell into the bowl.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
The scorpion woman was startled, the rationality returned to her mind, and she subconsciously tried to help Xu Chunliang stop the bleeding.
Seeing that there was half a bowl of blood in the bowl, Xu Chunliang did not stop her action, but just pushed the bowl to the scorpion woman, "Eat this."
"I'm not hungry."
The scorpion woman subconsciously shook her head and refused. How could she drink the blood of an adult?
"Aren't you hungry? Drink this and you will feel better."
Xu Chunliang insisted on pushing the bowl to her, "You have been carrying me for most of the day, and your physical strength has been exhausted. Since I gave it to you, just take it."
The scorpion woman felt that her eyes were a little sour, so she refused again and said, "Sir, I suddenly feel less hungry."
"real?"
"real!"
The scorpion woman nodded vigorously, with a hint of doubt in her expression.
"Strange to say, whether I saw those people eating fruits before or just saw others chewing bark and roots, as long as I see others eating, the hunger in my belly becomes much stronger.
Now that I have regained my composure, I don’t feel hungry anymore. Please don’t hurt yourself again because of me.”
Xu Chunliang took a closer look at the Scorpion Lady's expression and saw that she didn't seem to be faking it, so he put away the half bowl of blood and the dagger.
"Well, since you're not hungry now, I'll keep it for you and give it to you when you get hungry. I haven't figured out what the situation is on Lingmo Island yet. Before that, don't touch anything on the island.
thing."
"yes."
After this experience, the scorpion woman became much calmer. She continued to observe the surrounding environment. As a result, after looking around for a week, she found that more and more people were eating the bark and roots of the trees.
Intermittently, many people rushed to the forest from all directions to join the team of nibbling bark and roots.
Some people even got into quarrels and even fights over the food. The scene was very chaotic at one time.
Only a small number of people stayed out of it and managed to stay rational.
Something is wrong, very wrong!
The Scorpion Goddess looked serious, "Sir, those who are qualified to enter the Spirit Demon Island are all Fusion Stage monks with extraordinary intelligence.
It's only the first day now, no matter how hungry we are, a group of high-status integration stage monks shouldn't be so disrespectful."
Xu Chunniang nodded in agreement, "You are right, it is indeed abnormal. Perhaps they eat bark and roots not because they want to, but because some force forces them to do so."
The scorpion woman thought of the fear dominated by hunger not long ago, and fear arose in her heart.
When she was hungry before, she was so hungry that she wished she could eat everything she could.
Fortunately, her master brought her back to her senses, otherwise, she would now be one of those people who crazily gnaws on tree bark and roots.
"My lord, when you said that, I did remember that I was so hungry that I really couldn't care about anything except the instinct of eating."
Xu Chunniang lowered her eyes, a look of thought flashed in her eyes.
Where there are fewer trees, the evil spirit is stronger and the rain is heavier.
On the contrary, in places with many trees, the evil spirits are very thin and the climate is suitable.
These trees seem to be able to suppress evil spirits?
And the power hidden in the dark induces people to eat trees. Could its purpose be related to evil spirits?
If the truth of the matter is as she guessed, then this Spirit Demon Island is very likely to be a complete scam!
There is no secret to becoming a true demon or a true immortal here, but a place where evil spirits are nurtured!
These elites selected from the spiritual world and the demon world are the best nutrients for these evil spirits!
Xu Chunliang was startled by his guess and broke into a cold sweat, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot.
Only true immortals and true demons can create such a large island of spirits and demons, and play with high-level monks from both realms of spirits and demons.
