Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 551: Greedy Monster Meat
"Du Feng, take the brothers and evacuate first. Tell Zhu Quan and Zhuang Fan to locate the cave on the map."

Shang Lu did not hesitate. Since there were even better treasures deeper in the cave, he would definitely go and take a look. However, there was no need for Du Feng and the others to continue following him.

The better the treasure, the greater the danger that comes with it.

Not to mention that deep in the cave, there was already a strong evil spirit and hostility, and Du Feng and his men were warriors who had not yet entered the Qi Refining Realm. They were afraid that they would not be able to resist the invasion of the evil spirit and hostility. Even if nothing went wrong at the time, they would still get seriously ill afterwards. Losing their cultivation was a small matter, and it would also damage their bodies.

Although Du Feng and his companions wanted to continue following Shang Lu into the depths of the cave, they were also aware of their own limitations. If they really went, they would not only be unable to help, but would also hinder him.

So they all accepted the order with their hands folded, and without any hesitation, they immediately retreated along the way they came.

Shang Lu asked Uncle Huai to send two lamp wick spirits to light the way for them, and also sent a few paper figures to accompany them and act as guards.

Although the deer ants and flying bats in this area had been eliminated by him and Lu Yang, he sensed through the Nuo mask of the god with a pig body, eight legs and a snake tail that there were other strange creatures hidden inside the mountain and he must not be careless.

After watching Du Feng and his companions leave, Shang Lu called Lu Yang and Uncle Huai and continued to follow the Greedy Beast into the depths of the cave.

If it weren't for the need for the Greedy Beast to lead the way, Shang Lu would have wanted to directly use the Earth Escape Technique, which would be much more convenient than digging a tunnel.

Although they could not escape directly into the mountain, Shang Lu still borrowed the power of the mountain god, allowing everyone to run fast even in the narrow and rugged cave.

The deeper they went into the cave, the stronger the evil spirit and hostility became. They even tried to harm Shang Lu, Lu Yang and Huai Shu.

Lu Yang snorted coldly, pinched the sword formula, and released the sword energy to resist the invasion of evil and violent spirit.

However, what is even more surprising is that beneath the strong aura of evil and hostility, there is actually a chaotic divinity hidden.

This also made Lu Yang feel that Shang Lu's decision to ask Du Feng and others to retreat first was very wise.

While urging the sword energy, Lu Yang said: "Brother Shang, you have also noticed it, right? This place actually hides a chaotic divinity! But why is it so? Could it be that this was once the cave of a certain god? Or did a god fall here?"

Shang Lu shook his head. He didn't know why there was a chaotic divinity here. But he was sure that this chaotic divinity should have appeared recently and had not existed before.

"Xingshan is an important frontier area. Even in peacetime, there are witches and geomancers patrolling regularly. If this chaotic divinity has existed for a long time, it is impossible that the Xingshan Guards have not discovered it over the years, let alone dealt with it. Not to mention, the chaotic divinity will also affect the creatures and even the environment in the mountain. If it really exists for a long time, this mountain will probably change strangely and will never be as ordinary as it is now!"

"Makes sense."

Lu Yang nodded, thinking of the news brought back by Wei Wu, and couldn't help but guess: "Could it be related to the dangerous place built by Chu State in Xingshan?"

"It's possible." Shang Lu also suspected so.

Dangerous places are inherently strange, and the dangerous places built by the Chu State were intended to bring immortality.

That is the realm of gods.

Maybe, the State of Chu really was a dangerous place created by relying on the treasures and even the flesh and blood left behind by a certain god!

After the dangerous land collapsed and was destroyed, it was entirely possible that the chaotic divinity would leak out, polluting the earth veins and causing strange changes.

As they were talking, Shang Lu and Lu Yang suddenly saw that under the illumination of the lamp wick spirit, several strange figures appeared in the cave ahead.

Unfortunately, these strange figures had not emitted any aura before, so Shang Lu, Lu Yang and Huai Shu were all unable to discover them in advance.

Fortunately, Shang Lu, Lu Yang and Huai Shu reacted very quickly and took action immediately when they saw these strange figures.

The paper figures, flying swords and leaf blades all bombarded these strange figures with lightning speed and tore them to pieces in an instant.

It was so easy that the strange figures didn't even resist or dodge.

"dead body?"

The moment Lu Yang drew his sword, his figure flashed and he instantly appeared next to several strange figures.

After seeing their details clearly, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.

Shang Lu and Huai Shu also rushed over at this moment and found that these strange figures were common animals in the mountains, such as mountain rats, jackals and pangolins.

But their size is obviously much larger than that of their peers.

In addition to being dry and dry, as if all the water had been drained out, there were many strange changes on its body: it either grew multiple heads, or had a few more legs, a few more tails, or even a few more eyes, a few more mouths, etc.

"It seems that the animals in the mountains were attracted by the chaotic divinity and became strange after being polluted." Shang Lu guessed, and then ordered seriously: "Be careful, the strangeness deep in this cave is probably not simple."

Lu Yang and Uncle Huai nodded in unison.

Even if Shang Lu didn't give any orders, seeing the strange appearances of these monsters was enough to make them alert.

As for the greedy beast, Shang Lu did not give any orders and the beast simply would not listen to him.

Fortunately, with Sanniang, the greedy beast can be controlled no matter how greedy it is.

There was no aura of chaos on the several animals that had died after being transformed, but Shang Lu still let the wicker spirit breathe fire to burn them, and continued to follow the greedy beast into the depths of the cave.

The further you go, the more corpses of strange monsters you encounter.

When Shang Lu and the other two heard the sound of gurgling water, the cave finally became wider.

Instead, they entered an underground cave. At the bottom of the cave, there was a dark river with fast-flowing water.

However, even the sound of splashing water cannot cover up the "humming" sound echoing here.

It sounds like there are wild animals eating here!
Shanglu made a gesture, and Dengcao understood it carefully. It immediately climbed to the top of the cave and transformed itself into a ceiling lamp and a wall lamp, illuminating the entire cave.

With the light of the fire, Shang Lu and his companions saw a group of wild beasts eating around the dark river.

The beasts in the circle eat a piece of strange meat that looks very similar to Blood Tai Sui.

The flesh had rotted, emitting foul-smelling pus and blood.

However, the wild animals that surrounded it ate it with great relish, and among them there were even herbivores like mountain rabbits and deer.

The beasts on the periphery couldn't eat the strange meat in the middle, so they started to eat the body of the beast in front of them. However, the beast being eaten neither cried out in pain nor struggled, and let the beasts behind it eat it. It just kept eating the strange meat without stopping for even a moment.

At the same time, Shang Lu and his companions also discovered that all the wild beasts here were undergoing strange changes.

From time to time, there will be some extra things on your body.

Either a limb or an ugly tumor.

Some wild animals, after having eaten their fill, were staggering away, but they fell to the ground not long after walking and dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a few breaths, they turned into mummies.

"Hoohoho..."

The greedy beast let out a loud roar, but the wild animals that were eating the strange meat ignored it, as if they had entered a state of oblivion of themselves and the world.

At this moment, Shang Lu, Lu Yang, and Uncle Huai suddenly had the same thought in their minds: "This meat looks delicious... I want to eat it, too!"

Once the urge to eat comes up, I can't suppress it.

It wasn't just Shang Lu, Lu Yang and Uncle Huai. The Greedy Beast and the Lamp Grass Spirit also had such thoughts and subconsciously walked towards the strange meat by the dark river.

Shang Lu had just taken two steps when the mind in his heart suddenly emitted flames, trying to burn the strange thoughts in his sea of ​​consciousness into ashes.

At the same time, Sanniang also showed up and raised her hand to pat him on the face.

Shang Lu regained consciousness instantly and realized that the strange meat could not only cause strange changes in people and animals who ate it, but also affect people's mental consciousness.

Seeing that he had regained consciousness, but Lü Yang, Uncle Huai, the Greedy Beast, and the Lamp Grass Spirit were still greedy, and kept muttering "Eat, I want to eat" and barking with the same meaning, and like zombies, they were touching the strange meat on the dark river. Shang Lu was shocked. He hurriedly took out a few Pure Talismans from the Impermanence Order, first slapped one on himself, and then waved his hand to throw them, so that these witch talismans were attached to Lü Yang, Uncle Huai, the Greedy Beast, and the Lamp Grass Spirit.

These purification talismans were learned by Shang Lu from the ancient corpses in the Fairy Market.

It can calm the mind, reduce desires, and is perfect for resisting the temptation of strange meat.

After affixing the purification talisman, Lu Yang, Uncle Huai, the greedy beast, and the wick spirit all got rid of their greed and appetite and regained consciousness.

"What kind of weird thing is this? I almost fell into its trap." Lu Yang said with lingering fear. He felt his back was soaked with cold sweat. He didn't want to become a monster after eating the strange meat.

"It's not a strange thing." Shang Lu said, "This should be the treasure discovered by the Greedy Beast."

Lu Yang was stunned and said, "What did you say? This thing is a treasure? Are you sure? It's more like a poison."

"It is indeed a treasure." Shang Lu was sure.

Through the spiritual eye at the center of his eyebrows, Shang Lu clearly saw that there was spiritual energy contained in the strange meat.

However, this spiritual energy is not only powerful, but also extremely chaotic. If it is not purified and is consumed rashly, it will be contaminated and transformed into a monster like those wild beasts.

Similarly, if one's cultivation is insufficient and cannot withstand the powerful spiritual energy contained in the monster meat, one will suffer the backlash of the spiritual energy, and be deprived of one's vitality and life, which will be fed back to the monster meat.

"Is it really a treasure? Do you think... could it be divine meat?"

This bold guess made Lu Yang lick his lips involuntarily, and he wanted to eat again.

But, if it is really divine meat, can it be eaten?

Would eating divine meat be considered blasphemy? Would it lead to divine punishment?

"Divine meat? Not really."

Shang Lu shook his head. He only saw spiritual energy in this piece of meat, but no divinity.

However, this meat is indeed edible, but it needs to be processed and cooked.

"Brother Lu, whoever sees the treasure gets a share. I'll give you two choices. One is that we divide the meat directly and each of us finds a way to purify it. The other is to give the meat to me and I'll find a way to purify it. I'll give you a share after it's purified..."

Before Shang Lu finished speaking, Lu Yang couldn't wait to make a choice.

"The second one, I choose the second one."

Shang Lu reminded him, "If you choose the second one, the amount of meat you get in the end will definitely not be as much as if you choose the first one. You have to think about it carefully."

"I've thought about it." Lu Yang said with a smile, "This treasure... well, let's just call it a treasure. I didn't do anything to find it. Even if you don't give me a share, I have no objection. Besides, if this meat can't be purified, it's poisonous, not precious. If I hold it, I'll have to worry day and night about being bewitched by it."

After a pause, he asked again: "Junior Brother Shang, are you sure you can purify it?"

Although Lu Yang did not have a sharp mind and keen eyes, he had at least reached the level of half-step perfection in the Zhoutian realm. Naturally, he could see that although this strange meat was full of weirdness, it did have some wonderful things.

“It’s hard to say, but you can try.”

Shang Lu did not make any boastful promises, although he had secretly asked Sanniang and learned that Sanniang had a way to cook this strange meat.

"Will there be any problem?" Lu Yang asked again.

What he was really worried about was that Shanglu failed to purify the monster meat and was instead bewitched and contaminated.

It would be best if this meat can be purified, but if it cannot be purified, just poop it.

But it would be terrible if Shanglu was bewitched and polluted and turned into a monster.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Shang Lu said with a smile.

"That's good." Lu Yang nodded and laughed: "That's right, you are famous for your good luck. For others, it may be a dangerous thing, but for you, it may be an opportunity."

While the two were discussing how to divide the strange meat, the greedy beast kept barking anxiously, as if reminding Shang Lu that it was it who discovered the strange meat and that after it was purified, it should be given a share.

"Why are you in such a hurry? When the time comes, you will definitely be indispensable." Shang Lu scolded with a smile, took out a box from the Wuchang Order, and took out many witch talismans and stuck them on the box.

After opening the box, he raised his hand and the box immediately flew out, and with a "boom", it covered the strange meat beside the dark river.

The beast that was gnawing on the strange meat suddenly became violent and tried to bite the box into pieces, but it was powerless.

Although the box is made of wood, there is a magic talisman on it, so even if the beast has sharp teeth, it cannot bite it.

After the box covered the strange meat, the witch talisman stuck on it immediately began to flow out red ink like blood, instantly covering the entire box, and actually concealed most of the chaotic aura emitted by the strange meat.

Then, Shang Lu waved his hand and threw out a few more purification talismans and stuck them on the box.

It really works. The strange temptation emitted by the strange meat covered in the box was immediately reduced a lot.

The wild animals outside then regained some consciousness and were also frightened. They tried to escape in panic, but they fell to the ground and died after taking a few steps.

The rest of the wild beasts also died suddenly at this moment.

Their fragile bodies could not withstand the strange meat they ate.

Shang Lu ordered Uncle Huai to set fire to the corpses of the strange beasts. He then walked to the dark river, picked up the wooden box, pasted a number of witch talismans on it, and then put it into the Impermanence Order.

Lu Yang walked over, took a look at the underground river, and said worriedly: "Could this strange meat have come from this underground river? Could the water source also be polluted by it?"

Shang Lu shook his head: "It's hard to say, we can only wait for the Rabbit Patrol to send someone to investigate."

After collecting the strange meat, they quickly evacuated the place without staying for too long.

Even after the strange meat disappeared from this place, the evil spirit and hostility were still very strong and had not diminished at all. It was obvious that there were other strange things under the mountain. If you stayed in such a place for a long time, even if you didn't encounter any danger, something would happen. It was better to leave as soon as possible.

At the same time, the Rat Patrol followed the Great Cultivator to the Xingshan Military Town.

Yan Man, Li Xuan and Maotu, the inspector, respectfully welcomed them in the military town.

Although Yan Man and Li Xuan concealed their true intentions very well, Da Zhu could still tell at a glance that they were injured and asked, "Are your injuries still not healed?"

Without waiting for the two to reply, the Great Priest turned around and told the Snake Patrolman behind him, "Help General Yan and Priest Li heal their wounds later."

"Yes." The Snake Patrol bowed and accepted the order.

She is good at using poison, but she is also good at using medicine.

Yan Man and Li Xuan hurriedly said, "Thank you for the great blessing, and thank you for the Snake Patrol."

Sishe bowed in return, but Dazhu asked directly, "Where is the Wei Wu who returned with the information?"

Li Xuanying said, "Rest in my house. I will send someone to invite him over right away."

Dazhu nodded and said okay.

At this time, the Rat Patrolman interrupted and said, "And the boy who rescued Wei Wu, when he returns to Xingshan Military Town, call him over as well."

Yan Man nodded in agreement, turned around and asked a few questions to the staff and officials behind him, then smiled and said, "The man is outside the city, I will send someone to call him over."

Upon hearing this, the Rat Patrol Officer laughed and said, "Just outside the city? This kid is really proactive. Could it be that he left his soldiers behind and rushed back alone?"

Yan Man's staff was stunned when they heard this, and felt that there was something wrong with what Zishu Xunshu said, but Yan Man urged him, so he didn't think much about it. He immediately received the order and rushed outside the city to call people.
