New and dark light years

Chapter 392 The Drawbacks of the Spirit Bead
This strange creature is actually very powerful, but the midday sun exerts a great suppressive effect on it.

Many of the strange creatures' abilities cannot be used for the time being, which gives the Spirit Hunters an opportunity.

The strange creature was pulled by two golden threads. It tried desperately to escape, but was fixed in place. At the same time, the trees on both sides that were entangled by the threads began to fall over and made creaking noises.

Seeing white powder on both sides of the strange creature, Li Lin immediately poured all the spiritual energy he had just extracted into the Bone-Eating Elixir.

The energy of heaven and earth was once again violently disturbed.

Four bolts of purple lightning struck down from the sky.

A purple flash illuminated the face of everyone present.

Two bolts of lightning struck from the left and right, hitting the part of the monster that was covered in white dust.

When the six bolts of heavenly lightning struck the monster's head, it merely leaned back and seemed unharmed.

But this time, when two bolts of lightning struck from the left and right, the monster's shell was instantly blasted open, fragments flew everywhere, and a large amount of black mist spewed out.

The monster let out a scream that was hard to understand, and twisted its body even more violently in a final, frantic struggle.

It can sense danger approaching.

"Good job!"

Liu Shen took flight, took another deep breath, and then suddenly bent her upper body forward. A bolt of ice spear crackling with electricity pierced the monster's body directly from the black smoke-filled hole on the left.

The monster screamed towards the sky, its sound waves piercing the eardrums.

Li Lin shouted to the twenty-odd Spirit Hunters behind him who were stunned, "Go up and help! Attack the parts of the monster that aren't armored!"

The twenty-odd people reacted and rushed forward.

They don't know many things, and their spells aren't very powerful, but they have the advantage of numbers.

Various brightly colored and shiny weapons were used to attack the monster's body.

The monster thrashed about wildly, its two large pincers swinging wildly, swatting several spirit hunters away. But after just a few blows, it seemed to be in a final burst of energy before losing its strength. Its two pincers slammed into the ground, supporting its body.

At this moment, Yan Han, who had been waiting in the back, suddenly jumped up, using the back of the monster as a springboard to jump onto the monster's head. Then, using the monster's head as a springboard, he plunged the short sword in his right hand into one of the monster's eyes.

The monster let out another scream, fell to the ground, and stopped moving.

Li Lin took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy within his body surged forth like a spring, filling him completely.

The Bai family uncle and nephew stood up, clutching their chests.

Yan Han looked at his short sword, then at the fallen monster, and then laughed.

He felt he was finally making a difference.

At this moment, the core of the strange creature began to 'fog', turning into tiny specks of black light dust that floated upwards and began to disappear.

Li Lin said to the Spirit Hunters, "Go and help your comrades, don't just stand there."

The Spirit Hunters then realized what Li Lin meant and immediately did as he said.

Liu Shen flew down from the sky, put his hands on his hips and said, "Hey, we're really good. We killed this monster so easily."

Is it easy?

It is somewhat dangerous, but in reality it is also very perilous.

If it were nighttime, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat this monster.

At this moment, the black aura on the monster's body had completely disappeared. Li Lin exclaimed "Eek!" He saw that there were still things on the ground after the black aura disappeared.

Actually, other people saw it too, and they all gathered around.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that what was supposed to be something was actually... a person!

A person whose entire body is twisted and whose limbs are folded in an abstract way.

"This is……"

“This is the true form of that monster.” Liu Shen sniffed and said, “It stinks. The stench of insects is coming from its body.”

Li Lin actually smelled it too.

Bai Liwei also sniffed and said, "I don't smell anything strange or unusual."

Bai Bufan nodded in agreement; he hadn't smelled it either.

Li Lin squatted down and examined the 'marks' on the person's body. He had an idea in his mind: "This strange thing... is a parasitic Gu, not a true monster."

"Parasitic Gu?"

The other spirit hunters were somewhat confused.

Li Lin explained what he knew: "After the red mist, more and more people are coexisting with Gu. These are probably people who have been completely controlled by Gu."

Everyone was stunned by the sight of the deceased's tragic appearance.

Li Lin, however, had even more in mind.

If this thing were everywhere in the world, there would be big trouble later.

If even one is this difficult to deal with, with the current population of 60 million in the Great Qi, such things will continue to happen in the future.

Just thinking about it feels like a disaster.

We need to find a way to solve this problem.

As Li Lin was pondering, Liu Shen suddenly flew to the man's side and kicked him hard.

No one paid any attention, assuming that Liu Shen was simply venting her anger.

But then, a beautiful bead emitting white light rolled down from the middle of the man's chest.

Sometime later, the man's chest had cracked open.

Liu Shen picked up the thing, sniffed it, and then handed it to Li Lin: "That person smelled bad, but this thing smells good. I kind of want to eat it. Can you help me figure out what it is?"

Li Lin took it, but as soon as he touched it, he was stunned.

Because... this bead possesses pure spiritual energy.

It's incredibly pure, almost comparable to the quality of his dual cultivation. Moreover, the spiritual energy can condense into beads, so you can imagine how vast its quantity is.

He sensed it and realized that this one bead was roughly the amount he could condense in six months of dual cultivation.

After a human and a Gu symbiotic relationship is established, spiritual energy can actually be generated within the body?

This is too strange.

If that's true... wouldn't that be a great way to quickly improve your skills?

Thinking about this, an idea couldn't help but arise in Li Lin's mind.

If there were people like this everywhere in the world who practiced Gu poison, my future path of cultivation would be much smoother.

For the first time, a hint of gloom appeared on his expression.

At this moment, Yan Han walked over and asked, "Inspector Li, is there something wrong with this thing?"

“This is the essence of a Gu practitioner, very valuable.” Li Lin thought for a moment and said, “Logically, this should be split equally, but it’s useful to me, therefore…”

Yan Han waved his hand: "We don't know what this thing is for, but County Commandant Li deserves the most credit and has contributed the most effort, so you should have it."

Bai Liwei nodded in agreement.

As for the other Spirit Hunters, they were all novices, and apart from the later surge, their opinions were hardly considered.

Li Lin tossed the spiritual bead in his hand and said, "When we get back, I'll give you some money as compensation."

The group clasped their hands in greeting and said "hello" repeatedly with smiles.

Everyone knows Li Lin is rich and generous.

After returning to Cenxi County from the mountains, Li Lin recounted how the strange creature had been eliminated.

Magistrate Zhu was moved to tears and bowed deeply for a long time.

Originally, Cenxi County was going to hold a grand banquet to thank all the spirit hunters, but Li Lin refused. He took the spirit hunters from Yulin County and five hundred local soldiers and left directly.

No nostalgia.

Upon arriving in the county town, Li Lin instructed the local militia to return to their camps. After parting ways with the eleven hunters, he went home.

After returning home, Li Lin completely ignored Huang Qing, Hong Luan, and the others.

The two were overjoyed to see him return and tried to get close to him, but Li Lin gently pushed them away.

This action shocked Huang Qing.

This was the first time Li Lin had acted so coldly.

Li Lin went directly to the study and began refining the newly acquired spiritual energy bead.

This refining process took several days.

When the spiritual energy bead had reduced to its last tiny bit, Li Lin suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, his eyes turned a peculiar gray-green.

He suddenly grabbed the last tiny bit of spiritual energy bead with his right hand, gripping it tightly, and then closed his eyes again.

Then his consciousness suddenly appeared above the vast white sea.

The full moon in the sky emitted a cold light.

Li Lin's gray-green eyes looked at the full moon, then he moved slightly, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"I was too greedy!" Li Lin muttered. "I almost fell into their trap."

Then he spread out his right hand.

At this moment, what he held in his right hand was not the remaining tiny bit of spiritual energy bead, but a transparent insect.

It looks like a shrimp-like worm, but with red wings.

That's the one they killed.

Then Li Lin threw the insect into the sky. The insect instinctively flew up and its body grew larger and larger. Before long, it became a giant monster that was three zhang tall and four zhang long.

The Gu worms flew in the air, making strange squeaking noises.

Below, on the vast ocean, float all sorts of people, watching the insects in the air with a mixture of disgust and cheers.

Li Lin looked down and saw that there were many more southern barbarians on the sea.

Some of the faces looked vaguely familiar, and upon closer inspection, they were the southern barbarians he had either killed or defeated with his troops.

Seeing the hatred in these people's eyes, Li Lin simply snorted softly, completely unconcerned.

At this moment, a shard of ice fell from the silver moon, larger and thicker than before, with countless tiny fragments gathering together, resembling a giant dragon.

Upon seeing the icicle, the giant red shrimp flying in the air seemed quite frightened and suddenly flew away into the distance.

This time, the ice spikes didn't 'attack' Li Lin, but instead chased after the insects.

The insects flew very fast, but the icicles flew even faster.

In less than ten breaths, the ice shard pierced through the giant red shrimp, which shattered into pieces and fell onto the sea surface.

The people on the sea... those dressed as Qi people didn't react at all, but the southern barbarians swam over frantically, picked up the fragments, and immediately started gnawing on them.

Li Lin frowned slightly upon seeing this.

Then he looked up and saw the icicles rushing towards him.

He had intended to accept the icicles and endure the intense pain, just as he had done before.

But then a thought struck him, and with his left hand, he conjured specks of light dust, which then transformed into a sword, which he then coated with the light dust.

"Tianjingsha!"

The beautiful stardust in the sky collided with the icicles that carried endless chill!
The entire space shook.

Everyone on the sea screamed in terror, their faces filled with despair.
