All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 377 Rat Servant

On the official road, a magnificent carriage slowly emerged from a cloud of mist. The tortoiseshell windows were crystal clear, and the exterior was inlaid with Persian turquoise, forming the eaves of the carriage roof.

It is indeed a rare treasure, the Ghost-Headed Chariot!

【Ghost Car】(Unusual Treasure)

Skill: Walk: Allows you to travel at ease. As the road width and narrowness change, the interior space will also change. (No consumption)
Skills: Fast Walking: Can ignore the terrain and quickly travel through any mountain, forest, or grass. (Consumes 50 Spiritual Energy per quarter hour)

Skill: Quick Walk: You can walk on the ghost path and quickly travel through different areas. (Consumes 200 spiritual essence/ minutes)

Note: The magnificent chariot that the Youshan governor spent a great deal of resources to build is the face of his journey - "Don't ask whether he is a human or a ghost; judge a person by his face and his clothes." (Can be brought out)
Ji Ran never used this vehicle after the Han Dynasty, for a simple reason—it wasn't fast enough.

The Ghost-Headed Chariot's ability to travel thousands of miles a day stems from its ability to traverse the ghost realm. And this chariot can only traverse the ghost realm of this world; it cannot enter the Netherworld in other worlds.

Therefore, once separated from the Southern Han world, it lost its greatest advantage. However, within the Southern Han world, it was the best means of transportation.

now.

As the morning sun shone down, wisps of smoke rose from a village nestled at the foot of the mountains. The village looked surprisingly clean; there wasn't even a trace of wild animals to be seen nearby.

"My lord, we're almost there."

At that moment, feeling the sunlight reappear outside the window, Yuan San peeked through the crack in the window, his eyes filled with joy, and he spoke softly.

Inside the carriage, the others were rather cramped, crammed together in the ornate carriage, their buttocks only half on the floor and their toes sticking out, as if afraid of soiling the unprecedentedly luxurious interior.

Ji Ran opened his eyes upon hearing the sound and nodded.

"Then let's go down."

"Yes."

The group immediately lifted the curtain and carefully stepped out of the ghost-headed carriage. Ji Ran, however, had a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Buzz~!

He gently raised his hand, his spiritual energy slicing through the air. A talisman flashed, causing the wind rushing in from outside the curtain to immediately gather at his fingertips, forming a visible whirlwind.

It became.

On the bus, I kept flipping through "One Hundred Explanations of Talismans" and I was able to figure out how ordinary elemental talismans are condensed.

However, he can only condense elements at present, and only in an undisturbed environment. If he leaves the carriage and is exposed to environmental factors such as wind, sunlight, and dust, he will most likely fail.

I don't have enough talent.

Although he absorbed Liu Dajiao's talent, it was still very limited in terms of his own improvement, only increasing his madness by 3.57%.

However, as long as one can acquire more talent, one's comprehension and cultivation abilities will be greatly enhanced.

Now, his physical body has reached a bottleneck, and simply stealing life is no longer effective. Unless he breaks through the 6.99 barrier and enters the level 7 physical strength, he will not be able to improve his physical body.

The cultivation system in this world is quite interesting, similar to the Xi Guan system, but completely different. Talismans are more like a complex formula for manipulating elements, while spiritual power is the driving force that evolves the formula.

For example, to launch a fireball, you need a fire talisman and a wind talisman. At the same time, the wind talisman must be superimposed with talisman incantations of "binding" and "propelling".

It's like a math problem that requires the application of four complex formulas.

This process requires the four complex talismans to consume spiritual power and must be completed simultaneously for a fireball spell to be formed.

This is roughly equivalent to seeing a complex math problem, immediately recalling the formula and calculation process, and arriving at the answer.

If you work slowly, the spell will be cast slowly.

If the intermediate steps are wrong, the spell cannot be completed.

Xi Guan's professional skills are different. From his perspective, it's more like an intelligent program. As long as Xi Guan inputs spiritual power, it can directly cast spells.

It's like seeing a math problem you've already solved and skipping the steps to get the answer directly.

The problem is that the magic officials are actually unaware of the underlying logic of magic. They lack the foundation in talisman cultivation and do not understand the composition and summoning of elements. Whenever they encounter an unfamiliar "problem," the magic officials, who do not know the "formula," are completely at a loss.

Therefore, it can be seen that no matter how strong the official is, they will only have a few innate elemental controls.

If I could master the art of talismans, it would mean I would possess magical abilities surpassing Xi Guan's. However, this requires extremely high talent and wisdom. From this world's perspective, those lacking talent lack the innate wisdom to cultivate. While I can currently draw basic talismans, my skill level is very low; I need long-term practice, or… I should continue to plunder talent!
call--

Ji Ran flicked his hand, and the whirlwind dissipated. He then got up and stepped down from the carriage.

Yuan San and his group were already waiting outside. The village in the distance was clearly visible in the sunlight. The lush trees sheltered the mountain village, a stark contrast to the place teeming with monstrous beasts.

Where are the monsters here?

"They were purged by the imperial court."

"Ok?"

Ji Ran's expression shifted slightly as he asked, "Does the Southern Han court still have anyone maintaining order?"

"It's not the Southern Han Dynasty."

Yuan San smiled wryly and said, "Yes..."

"Shh!"

Suddenly, a man next to Yuan San nudged his arm and whispered, "They're here!"

Ji Ran looked up and saw that not long after they appeared, three slightly short figures walked out of the village.

From a distance, the three men appeared to be wearing gilded chainmail, carrying black wind banners with flame patterns, and wielding finely forged steel swords. Beneath their chainmail, they wore large black robes.

At this moment, the village was still separated from the group by a dense forest, but Ji Ran's eyesight allowed him to clearly see the appearance of the three "people".

The first one on the left has black spots, a white face, a pointed mouth, and beady green eyes. The one in the center has a jet-black face and sharp teeth hanging from his mouth. The last one has brown hair resembling a beard, long eyebrows, and white eyes.

It turned out to be three giant rats, each a meter and a half long!

These three rat spirits, fully armed and moving with impressive strides, all possessed the strength of level 3! As they entered the forest, they called out to Yuan San and the others, "Why is there an extra person?"

The man surnamed Li hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Rat, we met him on the road."

As he spoke, the basket filled with purple meat was moved in front of the rat spirit.

"Hey! Well done!"

The black-faced, fanged rat spirit grinned upon seeing the purple meat. Forgetting all about Ji Ran's identity, it stretched out its slender little hand, weighed the meat in its mouth, and then waved its hand, saying, "That's enough."

"but……"

Those tiny, bean-sized eyes swept over Ji Ran, stared at the shrine for a moment, and said, "Judging from your appearance, you must be a cultivator, right?"

"Ah."

Ji Ran nodded, and the rat constable immediately said seriously, "We don't care which god you worship. If you want to stay in the village, you still have to pay the head tax. One pound of purple meat per adult per month."

"Of course, if you have some ability and don't have the filthy background of those prestigious families, you can also join my court."

The rat-like servant glanced at Ji Ran, his eyes slightly gentle, and said, "Looking at the shrine behind you, it's full of murderous intent and cultivates evil nature. You must be a pure and upright heretic."

"If you are interested, come to the ancestral hall in the village to find me."

With that, the three-headed rat servant turned and headed towards the village.

Ji Ran thought that encountering these three demons would mean his knife would draw blood again, but to his surprise, these demons were actually quite polite.

"Let's go."

At this moment, the faith of the others, including the man surnamed Li, had weakened somewhat. Ji Ran could sense that it seemed the rat spirit's praise of his "pure and upright lineage" had instilled fear in these people.

"it is good!"

Yuan San's faith remained unshaken. This young man didn't care about Ji Ran's identity; he only knew that this sir had saved him and could also save his family!

At that moment, he immediately led the way towards the village. His younger sister was still enduring Zi Yu's torment and needed this incredibly powerful man to save her life!
