Just after the strange creature of the Rat Mother was isolated and imprisoned in her belly, the surrounding stone walls suddenly shook, mixed with angry roars.
Ren Qing could obviously sense that the movement was coming from the restricted area itself.
There was a sudden sound of strong wind beating leaves at the end, and it seemed to be approaching their position quickly.
Huang Ziwan swallowed, feeling a little confused as to what was going on.
Who would have thought that when he went to Annan Town to complete a seemingly easy task, he accidentally entered a restricted area, and now his life is probably in danger.
"Brother Ren...Wo..."
Ren Qing grabbed Huang Ziwan, who was still a little weak. The black shadow possessed his legs and shuttled through the tunnel at an extremely fast speed.
The double pupils of his eyes rotated, and he could react instantly even when he encountered a corner.
Huang Ziwan turned his head and looked behind him, nervousness appearing on his face.
He noticed that what was chasing the two men was not some ferocious beast, but a wave of rice husks, and he suddenly felt baffled.
"Brother Ren, what kind of restricted area is this?"
Ren Qing didn't reply, and the frequency of his steps increased again.
The rice husks gathered together and immediately formed a huge face. It opened its mouth and bit at the two people, and the aura it exuded was as real as its substance.
"Old Huang, don't be polite to it."
Huang Ziwan nodded and spit out thick venom continuously from his mouth, which corroded a lot of rice husks. Unfortunately, it was of some use but not much.
Rice comes from everywhere, and as long as the hole in the ground is connected to the kitchen, there will be an endless supply.
The most important thing is that the heavy footsteps of the outside world can be clearly heard. I am afraid that the rice giant is gradually approaching the crack in the corner of the wall.
Ren Qing's heart froze. If the Forbidden Zone consciousness kept chasing after her, it seemed that she would have no choice but to give up on the strange rat mother.
But when I think about it, I feel a little reluctant.
If this was not used to disrupt the situation and the status quo of the restricted area remained, it would be very slim to even leave safely, let alone being infected with the Food Immortal Technique.
He forced himself to calm down and observed the cave while running.
The environment does change as you move around, which is used to mislead Ren Qing to continue deeper, but the awareness of restricted areas is a bit dull.
Ren Qing quickly found the pattern.
The dragon-snake spine was thrown out fiercely, hitting the weak spot of the stone wall directly, and he escaped immediately after sending a blow. He was not greedy.
After turning the corner, swing the Dragon Snake Spine again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Soon dust began to fall from the top of the cave.
Huang Ziwan held his breath.
He saw that Ren Qing's plan was risky, but he didn't know much about the restricted area, so he didn't interfere with the opponent's move.
After Ren Qing felt that the time was right, he rushed straight towards the stone wall that seemed to be a blind corner.
The dragon-snake spine turned into a drill, sparks accompanied by a harsh sound, cracks spread in an instant, and the cave collapsed under the load.
The giant face was crushed under the rubble, and the road was blocked.
Ren Qing and Huang Ziwan looked disgraced. They were trapped in a small space and were already safe in a short time.
"Well……"
Huang Ziwan wiped the dirt from his face and asked with a smile: "Brother Ren, can you tell me more about the situation?"
Ren Qing recounted the information about the restricted area and emphasized that he had found clues to escape.
Huang Ziwan had no other solution and immediately agreed to Ren Qing's plan.
In the history of the Jailor Hall, there are many jailers who left the restricted area, but because the strange objects contained in the restricted area are different, the experience cannot be used for reference.
Together, the two of them found that it was unrealistic to find an exit in the hole with the ever-changing terrain, so they had no choice but to return to the kitchen first.
Ren Qing already had a vague idea, but to put it into practice, he needed to go to the stove and find the Food Immortal Technique.
"Let's stay here for a short time and wait for the restricted area to gradually ferment."
Huang Ziwan was about to ask how he could stay for a long time, but he saw Ren Qing's strange mouth opening in his palm.
Air surged out of it, along with a large amount of food and water.
Ren Qing estimated that with the resources in the prison, even if the townspeople were included, it would not be a big problem to sustain it for a month or two.
He crossed his legs and visualized the Eyeless Dharma, and at the same time, he tried his best to speed up the digestion of the ghost.
Ren Qing temporarily retreated hastily, not only because of the restricted area, but also because it should not take long for a ghost to change.
Huang Ziwan looked at Ren Qing who was immersed in practice, and couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
He is a ruthless person who can still calm down even in the penalty area.
He was more than ten years older and thought he could not be so focused. Perhaps this was the reason why Ren Qing reached the ghost realm in a short period of time.
Huang Ziwan did not bother Ren Qing, closed his eyes and rested, while checking whether there was any alienation due to soul separation.
After a long time, when he was about to eat some solid food, he suddenly noticed something strange.
The shadows covering the cave began to flow, and the aura became increasingly unstable, showing signs of imminent collapse.
Huang Ziwan originally thought it was the restricted area causing trouble, but he realized it immediately.
His eyes became complicated. As a jailer who had experienced a strange change, how could he not see that Ren Qing's technique was about to change.
Not to mention the speed of promotion.
Anyway, Huang Ziwan was already numb from the blow. What surprised him was that Ren Qing was too reckless to complete the trick in the penalty area.
He quietly retreated to a corner.
After the ghost's body expanded to four meters, it returned to calm, and so on.
As a strange change approached, Ren Qing quickly turned his attention to the alienated tree with no shadow in his mind, and saw only the buds on the branches waiting to bloom.
He checked carefully and found that the number of branches of the Shadowless Ghost was far less than that of the prison in the belly. The branches that could be chosen that time were like stars.
Ren Qing browsed the branch of strange changes.
【Ghost】
[Whether to choose the weird branch "Ghost"]
If you choose a ghost, the ghost will give birth to a soul. As your spiritual intelligence increases, the risk of losing control will naturally increase.
The rest of the treacherous branches are relatively special.
For example, [Hide Ghost], which stores the soul into a ghost, or [Shadowless], where the ghost can leave the body for a long time, or even [Ghost Possession], which uses ghosts to control other people's bodies.
Ren Qing finally understood.
Because ghosts undergo strange changes by digesting a large number of residual souls, the branches also involve souls.
If he doesn't have the alienation tree to choose independently, the random mutation should be any one of these branches.
If you want to choose from all branches of treachery, you can only do so by spending your lifespan.
Ren Qing asked Guiying to hold on for a while, and then checked the information on each branch of treachery, preparing to find the most suitable one.
On the surface, ghost possession is the key to the shadowless ghost technique.
However, as Ren Qing becomes more and more mastery over the jailers, the effect of ghost possession will inevitably decrease.
Therefore, coordination with other techniques is the key.
Ren Qing's eyes finally fell on the strange branch called "Ghost".
The ghost has been in a strange state for a long time, and it is gradually getting out of control. Huang Ziwan is frightened to see it.
Seeing this, Ren Qing no longer hesitated.
The strange changes caused the ghost shadow to transform from the inside out, and then it returned to an ordinary shadow, as if nothing had happened.
Huang Ziwan couldn't help but ask: "Brother Ren, what is your branch of treachery?"
Then he realized that he had made a mistake and said with a smile: "You don't have to tell me."
"That's okay."
Ren Qing's expression was strange, and his ghostly shadow quietly blended into Huang Ziwan's shadow, without the other party noticing at all.
Huang Ziwan thought that Ren Qing's treacherous branch was relatively useless, and immediately felt more balanced, and comforted him with gloating.
"Don't be too sorry. After the first change, the next two changes can slightly interfere..."
Ren Qing kicked lightly, and the stone hit Huang Ziwan's shadow directly. The latter subconsciously touched his cheek.
As the name suggests, ghost substitution is a method of replacing other people's shadows with ghost shadows, and it can also have indirect effects.
When the shadow is injured, the body is injured.
Huang Ziwan's expression was slightly stiff.
He noticed Ren Qing's small movements, and then looked at the shadow in surprise. There was something indescribably weird about this strange branch.
The ghost slowly returns to its true form.
Huang Ziwan touched his chin and said: "You can give others another weakness, but it's not difficult to counter it."
"Raise light above your head, reduce the shadow area as much as possible, and use magic to block the attack."
"I will pay attention to hiding ghosts."
Ren Qing knew that what Huang Ziwan said was true. As long as the opponent knew Gui Bai's ability, it would be difficult for him to play a key role.
But he also holds the human skin book.
When one's own injuries are transferred to the ghost, the ghost turns into the shadow of others, so the ghost becomes a bit scary.
Ren Qing's current use is not very flexible, otherwise he could use ghost shadows to replace the shadows of at least ten people at the same time.
Maybe if you advance to the Yin Chao realm, the number of ghost substitutes will become even more exaggerated.
It's a pity that the skin refiner can only transfer skin injuries at present. After being promoted to "scapegoat skin", both of them will improve by leaps and bounds.
Ren Qing hesitated for a moment and suppressed the idea of being promoted to the Human Skin Book.
After all, Wei Bian was promoted independently, and there was not much movement, so it was okay to do it in front of Huang Ziwan.
But the magic to break through the ghost realm would probably last for several days and nights. If it only took him more than ten minutes, it would be an exaggeration.
Besides, Ren Qing doesn't think Gui Tai has any effect on the rice giant.
This collection of forbidden consciousness has no body and no soul. Unless the strange core object is sealed, it will remain immortal.
Huang Ziwan looked proud when he saw Ren Qing thinking secretly.
He smiled and showed off: "Actually, treachery depends on chance. Just like the branching ability I obtained during my first treachery, my brother, I can turn venom into a living being."
Venom oozed from his skin, forming a lifelike toad.
The corner of Ren Qing's mouth twitched, and he asked intentionally or unintentionally: "By the way, Old Huang, you should still have some strength left in that weird thing, why don't you try to come out?"
Huang Ziwan blurted out: "Of course I tried, but the exit of the esophagus is relatively closed and cannot be climbed out, and the others..."
Ren Qing patted Huang Ziwan's shoulder, with a little pity in his eyes, and then sat cross-legged on the ground and continued to meditate on the spell.
The cave became calm again, except for Huang Ziwan's sighs from time to time.
Two days passed before I knew it.
Ren Qing guessed that the time was almost up, and they were ready to go to the kitchen to make trouble.
