Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 184 A cave of monsters

Unnamed mountain.

The sword grass grows vigorously, densely packed, and when the wind blows, it sways like a green sea.

Inside the cliffside cave, strange rocks are scattered, eerie winds blow, and the atmosphere is lively and noisy.

This was Liu Sheng's first time entering a place where monsters gathered, and he was a little nervous.

In the past, when encountering monsters, we would fight to the death, and rarely exchange more than three sentences.

Right now, however, he was being dragged by the Black Wind King into this makeshift cave.

They encountered more than a dozen monsters.

There were frost wolf demons, leopard demons, deer demons, rabbit demons, bat demons, falcon demons, snake demons, and other demons, all of whom had transformed into human form and were eating and drinking, their stench filling the air.

Their cultivation level is insufficient, their bloodline potential is ordinary, and after transformation, some animalistic characteristics remain on their bodies, so it is not a complete transformation.

Many of them even have animal heads and human bodies, with their tails, claws, and other features still intact.

One after another, enormous spirits came and went, serving wine and meat, busy attending to their needs.

The hierarchy was clear and strict.

Liu Sheng's eyes darted around, taking in the entire scene inside the cave, and he understood immediately.

The higher a demon's cultivation level and the stronger its bloodline, the more it resembles a human when it transforms into human form.

When the white elephant transformed into a white-skinned giant, it was no different from an ordinary person except for its height, perhaps because of its noble bloodline.

Furthermore, Baoxiang Temple may also contain special transformation techniques for demons to cultivate.

They are much stronger than the group of "wild demons" in front of them who have no lineage.

"The king is back!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, come quickly! General Wolf just slaughtered a two-legged sheep and left you the freshest heart and liver!"

Upon seeing the Black Wind King return, all the monsters put down their food and greeted him.

The phosphorescent lights in the cave illuminated the "food" in their hands, which was clearly fresh flesh and blood.

Thighs, arms, internal organs...

In the distance, several human corpses hung upside down on a stalagmite, their hair matted into felt, their flesh rotted into mud and dust.

The scattered pieces of armor and robes revealed their identities.

There were demon-slaying captains from the imperial court, disciples from the Seven Clouds Sect and the Mysterious Swallow Sect, and even a Qi Refiner from the White Lotus Army...

And it was someone I knew.

It was the same Qi Refiner who had fought the Frost Wolf Demon to a considerable degree at the firewood gate of the courtyard before escaping into the courtyard.

This Qi cultivator from the White Lotus Sect had extremely bad luck.

No one knows how he fell into the hands of these demons, had his cultivation destroyed, and was left hanging in mid-air.

Cutting flesh and draining blood, ripping out the heart and lungs, the body was a bloody mess, yet not yet dead, like a worm of flesh, twisting and turning, screaming and howling in agony.

In the outside world, a Qi cultivator who would be considered a big shot by any faction would become food for a group of monsters.

Absurd, laughable.

shocking.

It inevitably evokes a sense of shared sorrow, like the rabbit mourning the fox's death.

"Your Majesty, have a taste!"

At this moment, the frost wolf demon approached, holding a pair of hearts and livers, bowing and scraping with a fawning expression.

The heart and liver in its hand were still throbbing wildly, full of life, with a unique fragrance amidst the fishy smell.

"This person was really unlucky; in the end, they couldn't escape it..."

Liu Sheng glanced at the frost wolf demon in front of him, then lowered his gaze.

This monster is also a "familiar monster".

Previously, in front of the wooden gate of the courtyard, it was this creature that, along with the black panther demon and several large monsters, launched a sneak attack on the human race.

It chased the Qi cultivators of the White Lotus Army into the courtyard, while the Black Panther Demon stayed behind to deal with the others, only to find itself in a predicament.

He transformed into a silver-horned thunder bull and killed him on the spot.

It's quite a coincidence that we've met again!
"Move aside, move aside, have you forgotten I'm a vegetarian?"

Black Wind King covered his nose with his hand, pushed Liu Sheng in front of him, and said in a muffled voice:

"Let Brother Bai have a taste!"

Then it introduced Liu Sheng to the demons, saying that he had awakened the true blood of Feilian and had a bright future.

"Brother Bai is actually a descendant of an ancient giant demon! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

The Frost Wolf Demon turned around with a smile and presented a heart and liver to Liu Sheng: "I don't know why, but I felt an instant connection with Brother Bai, as if we were long-lost brothers..."

fart!

Unexpectedly, among these monsters, there are such sycophants who take advantage of others' misfortunes.

I don't know if this guy had sharp senses or just stumbled upon it by accident...

Liu Sheng's eyes flickered a few times, then he pursed his lips, turned his head, and glanced at it sideways:
"I have lived on wind and dew for many years and have not eaten meat."

By directly refusing, the eagle reveals its lofty and aloof nature.

"This……"

The Frost Wolf Demon was stunned, not expecting Liu Sheng to be so disrespectful. He looked at the Black Wind King with a wronged expression on his face.

As everyone knows, the heart and liver of prey are the most tender, delicious, and nutritious parts of the animal.

Between demons, offering the heart and liver of their prey to each other represents the utmost sincerity and respect.

Especially on the first meeting, offering a fresh heart and liver signifies a strong desire to befriend someone.

Refusing someone's heartfelt offer signifies a refusal to befriend them, which means...

war!

Unless you reach the level of overwhelming power like the Black Wind King, you can disregard minor details.

Otherwise, ordinary monsters still need to abide by some basic rules.

Rules and regulations signify civilization.

This is also why monsters do not regard ordinary wild beasts as their own kind.

However, Liu Sheng was ultimately human and did not understand the rules for demons.

Moreover, even if he understood, he would refuse.

After all, this is a person's heart and soul, and he... is a human being!
Black Wind King scratched his bear ears, looked at Liu Sheng, then at the Frost Wolf Demon who was holding a heart and liver and standing frozen in place, and remained silent.

For a moment, the entire demon cave fell silent.

The monsters put down their blood offerings, and the spirits who were serving them all lay obediently to the side, not daring to utter a sound.

The air was thick with a foul odor, as if it had solidified.

All eyes were focused on the Black Wind King.

"Oh!"

The next moment, the bear demon slammed its paw on Liu Sheng's shoulder, laughing loudly:

"Hahaha, good, good, I've finally found someone like me who doesn't like meat!"

With that, it grabbed Liu Sheng and led him deeper into the cave:

"Come, come, I have some century-old amethyst royal jelly here, hehehe, it's a good stuff I got after entering the ruins, it's fragrant and sweet, and extremely delicious..."

The Frost Wolf Demon stood frozen in place, watching the Black Wind King and Liu Sheng walk away arm in arm.

After a moment, it came to its senses, looked down at the heart and liver in its hand, its eyes flickered, and suddenly spoke:

"Hey guys, has anyone had any dealings with this guy Bai before, or... heard of him?"

Although Black Wind Mountain has grown continuously over the years, the number of demons and monsters that have become demons is ultimately limited, and they have all carved out their own territories.

It's impossible for a monster to appear out of thin air.

unless……

"Does it smell good?"

Deep inside the cave, the Black Wind King solemnly took out a pottery jar and carefully opened the lid.

Instantly, a rich honey fragrance wafted out, refreshing and invigorating, making one feel relaxed and happy.

"Taste it?"

She took out a jade spoon, scooped out a spoonful of purple honey, then reluctantly poured half a spoonful back in before handing it to Liu Sheng:

"This amethyst royal jelly requires the essence of thousands of spiritual flowers and plants, and only one drop can be condensed each day, making it exceptionally precious."

Not only does consuming it prolong life and strengthen one's foundation, purify one's bloodline, but most importantly... it can enlighten one's wisdom!

Prolonging life?!
Liu Sheng only heard the first half of the sentence; he couldn't bear to listen to the rest.

The words "prolong life" kept echoing in my ears.

Isn't this the longevity treasure that Grandma needs?!

Unexpectedly, we encountered it not long after entering the ruins.

He glanced at the pottery jar that the Black Wind King was tucked under his arm, and couldn't help but lick his lips.

This is a whole can!
