It was a missing and fragmented memory that had been embedded in the depths of Sunset Soul Fire for endless years.
After Zhu Jiu looked through this memory, he thought silently:
"It turns out that the giant beast's remains were Qiongqi, one of the four ferocious beasts in the world. Sunset absorbed the last bit of essence from Qiongqi's remains, so it possesses many magical powers."
Then I thought again:
"In ancient times, Qiongqi was the king of ferocious beasts, also known as the disaster beast. No wonder Xiyang is so ferocious and majestic. It turns out he is a Qiongqi in the process of evolution."
Knowing that this place was the remains of the King of Ferocious Beasts, Zhu Jiu was not willing to leave easily. At this time, with the setting sun accompanying him, he was even more fearless, so he wandered around in the bone cave, with the setting sun following him silently.
in the back.
Zhu Jiu walked around, but unfortunately many of the bone caves were blocked. The bones blocking the road were so hard that neither Zhu Jiu nor Xiyang had the ability to break them. Sunset had already walked through the places that could be entered for a long time, and finally gained nothing.
.
Zhu Jiu was a little disappointed, so he had to take Sunset back the way he came. When he passed under the blood river again, Zhu Jiu felt restless in his heart. He fully hoped that some foreign object would appear at the bottom of the river, so that he could enjoy the first time after conquering Sunset.
A profitable market.
Unfortunately, there were no abnormalities along the way, and they returned to the bank of the Blood River smoothly. Zhu Jiu turned around and took a look at the surging blood river. There should be some secrets about Qiongqi's remains. Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to go deeper, so he could only talk about it later.
The demon corpse has no emotions, and Sunset is not sad because it is about to leave its old nest. It follows Zhu Jiu, turns over the hill without looking back, and disappears on the bank of the Blood River.
There is no obvious change in the sky color in this world, the sky and the earth are always dark gray, unchanged.
Zhu Jiushao's body needed to rest, because with the setting sun accompanying him, there was almost no danger in this area where most of the red soul corpses were. He found a dry hill relatively high above the ground to rest and watch.
Looking at the setting sun that was guarded tirelessly and loyally, Zhu Jiu leaned against the rock and closed his eyes with contentment.
While sleeping, he suddenly sensed abnormal fluctuations in the sea talisman. Zhu Jiu suddenly woke up and opened his eyes to find Sunset fighting a demon corpse under the hill.
This demon corpse that appeared at an unknown time was a dark-brown corpse demon with shriveled skin, like a mummy, with crimson soul fire flashing in its empty eye sockets. It somehow broke into this other red soul corpse city.
Around the sheltered sunset territory.
This mummy has a very special way of fighting. This is the first time Zhu Jiu has seen it. Every time it opens and closes its lips, black mist pours out of its mouth. It seems to be some kind of corpse poison or curse. It will still appear when it falls on the ground.
Produces strong corrosiveness.
It's a pity that all these methods are useless when sprayed on Sunset's body. Sunset's body is covered with bright green demonic bones that are gleaming with fluorescent light. These black mist can't even get close. Every time they get close to Sunset's skeleton, they will slip and drift away, without any damage to Sunset.
.
Therefore, the battle only ended with a formal attack by Sunset. Seeing Sunset sticking out his head to absorb the opponent's soul fire, Zhu Jiu suddenly heard a faint scream full of fear coming from a hundred meters away. It was the scream of a human being.
Voice.
Zhu Jiu ran down the hill quickly, with the setting sun following closely behind him.
The screams came from a ravine a hundred meters away. There was a huge boulder blocking the top of the ravine, making it very concealable.
When Zhu Jiu arrived, he saw a pale boy squatting in the ravine. He seemed to have some impression that he was one of the boys taking the assessment with him.
Zhu Jiu understood the reason why the young man was here without even thinking about it, and sneered:
"You saw me resting on the top of the hill, and the sect's mission statement encouraged killing, so you wanted to instruct your demon corpse to attack and kill me. Hey! Now that your demon corpse is dead, how does it feel to have the soul bite back?
?”
Seeing that the young man's face was pale and full of fear, and he seemed to be deeply regretful, Zhu Jiu said again:
"Do you know why I sleep blatantly on the highest ground nearby?"
The young man's face turned paler, his eyes full of begging for mercy. Zhu Jiu chuckled and continued:
"Actually, I want to try killing someone, but I'm too embarrassed to kill someone if they don't offend me, so I have to use a little trick to see who is so blind and dares to mess with me, hehe!"
Zhu Jiu's last laugh sounded like a devil to the young man's ears, and he finally begged:
"Please, don't kill me. I just want to survive. Keep me and I can be your subordinate in the future. If you join the sect as a new member, you will definitely need someone to run errands."
Zhu Jiu smiled coldly. He came here from the information explosion era in his previous life, and he understood the weaknesses of human nature best. He secretly thought:
"Before I was reincarnated, I always lamented that I was born in the wrong era and could not act arbitrarily. Even if I was given this opportunity, I would have to move freely and fearlessly. Do you want me to hold a grudge behind my back?"
With a thought in the sea of consciousness, the sunset standing next to him suddenly jumped out. With a wave of his front paws, the young man's head flew into the air. There was still a look of shock in his eyes, as if he could not believe that he had died like this.
Zhu Jiu looked at the first human he had killed in two lifetimes, showing no abnormality or discomfort, and murmured to himself:
"In my previous life, I followed my grandfather to mess with many animal carcasses. I would inevitably have evil thoughts and wanted to kill people. Unfortunately, I had never tried it. It turns out that killing people feels like this, and there seems to be nothing strange about it. The assessment introduction said that the human brain
It can increase the consciousness of the demon corpse, and the warm blood in the heart can increase the toughness of the demon corpse's body. Do I want the sunset to refine this guy's corpse?"
Before Zhu Jiu could finish his thoughts, Sunset had already taken the initiative to pounce on the young man's corpse. The soul fire in his skull was so strong that it stretched out and instantly wrapped around the young man's corpse and burned his head for refining.
Soon, the parts of the corpse that were beneficial to Sunset were refined, leaving only a shriveled corpse.
Zhu Jiu smiled silently, and suddenly received the warning of the setting sun in his consciousness. He turned to face a raised ground not far away and shouted:
"If you don't come out, I'll think you're trying to sneak up on me and start attacking."
A voice sounded from beneath the surface, which was originally normal, and said hurriedly:
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I don't mean any harm."
As the words fell, the gray-brown ground slowly squirmed, and the color of the ground changed, revealing the figure of a short, fat boy getting up from the ground.
As soon as the short and fat boy appeared, he took a few steps closer to Zhu Jiu and said to please him:
"I know your name is Zhu Jiu, and you ranked first in the second round of the Consciousness Sea Induction Assessment. I admire you very much. I didn't expect that your demon corpse is so powerful. It's really a disaster. I wonder what kind it is?"
As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up, gestured to Zhu Jiu, and looked at the sunset beside Zhu Jiu with envy. This guy didn't know that what Zhu Jiu was thinking about at this time was whether to kill this little fat man.
If I knew this, I wonder if I would still have the courage to continue laughing.
Staring blankly at the pudgy boy, Zhu Jiu finally decided to let him go and said with a smile:
"My demon corpse is an evolving disaster beast called Sunset. Your hiding ability is also good. Is it the special magical power possessed by the demon corpse you conquered?"
The little fat man immediately said in a friendly manner:
"Yes, I am timid, so I found out that this monster corpse has hidden abilities, so I tried every means to contain it. Don't laugh at me, brother."
While talking, he took out a half-human-sized dry bark-like thing from his back and showed it to Zhu Jiu.
Zhu Jiu glanced at this unique plant corpse, and found that the surface color of this dead bark-like corpse was constantly changing, and said lightly:
"Very good ability."
After speaking, he turned around and left. The little fat man behind him hurriedly took two steps to catch up. Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Jiu said in advance:
"Follow me and I will kill you."
The little fat man stood there blankly, not daring to follow him. When Zhu Jiu gradually walked away, he muttered:
"Why are you pulling? Isn't it just to find a special monster corpse?"
Then he looked at the corpse of the young man on the ground that had been refined by the sunset soul fire, and said softly:
"The cursed demon corpse of this dead ghost is extremely powerful, but it was killed in one blow. How could Zhu Jiu's demon corpse be so powerful, and I don't know what kind of disaster beast it is? It's really powerful!"
