Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

[Continuing to devour tree spirits and soft-shelled sharks!]

[Related abilities can be acquired repeatedly!]

[Roots and shark-like abilities have been enhanced!]

[Targets to be devoured: Cat-shaped monster, four-armed worm!]

[Gained Abilities: Extreme Speed, Four Hands!]

"Extreme Speed: Speed ​​increased by 70%; Four Arms: Can temporarily grow two extra arms!"

After devouring the surrounding monsters and feeling the spiritual energy surging within his body after digesting their bodies, He Li's sinister gaze fell upon Tang Li, the only survivor at present.

"Where did you get your human skin?"

"What are you all doing gathered here?"

"As your accomplice, why do you seem to really want Qin Yuan to be injured or killed?"

He spoke, his voice cold and demanding.

The latter were terrified.

He dared not hide it, and stammered, "The skin... the skin was given to me by Emei..."

"We...we're here..."

"It's to follow Master Mingxuan's orders... to help Qin Yuan guard this place, so that... so that he can collect soul energy to cultivate the dragon offspring given to him by the Dragon Lord."

Emei? It's Emei again.

Abbess Mingxuan? A nun from Emei?

The Dragon Lord... he must be a member of the Dragon Worship Society, right?

He Li secretly analyzed the situation in his mind.

Tang Li continued, "We... are not under Qin Yuan's jurisdiction, we are just here to assist."

"To frame Qin Yuan, that's true..."

"It was also the abbess's order."

At this point, a hint of hesitation flashed in Tang Li's eyes before he added, "Although the nun didn't say what her purpose was, I feel that she wants to steal the dragon's heir."

"As long as we lock Qin Yuan in the ruins and make him fight you to the death, we'll both be severely injured..."

"Then we can secretly take the dragon's offspring away."

Good grief, these people are fighting amongst themselves?

Stealing monsters to increase one's strength?

That's actually quite interesting.

He Li's lips curled up: "Where is Abbess Mingxuan? What's the deal with this 'Evil Dragon Lord' you mentioned?"

"The nun is at the Holy Water Nunnery!" Tang Li said weakly. "I don't know much about the Dragon Lord either. I only know that... he... he is an existence recognized by the True Dragon Clan."

"He has a real dragon by his side!"

"Most of us obey these humans' orders because we fear the dragon's might..."

"Oh...right, I heard that the Dragon Lord went to the mountain city to take care of some business."

"I really don't know anything else."

Tang Li's words resolved many of He Li's questions.

For example, monsters are so terrifying...

Why would they obey the criminals' orders? Song Qinghe's actions could be attributed to his supernatural abilities, but Qin Yuan and Gou Shan clearly didn't have that kind of power.

Now I finally understand.

Ultimately, these monsters were all acting under the instructions of a higher-level monster called "Dragon".

Thinking of this, He Li became somewhat excited.

The real "dragon" that the monsters talk about!

The Bloodline Dragon Butterfly, that kind of bizarre creature, seems to be nothing compared to something far more powerful...

It can devour such an existence.

What abilities will he be able to acquire?

He Li was filled with anticipation.

Just as he was pondering these things, Yu Ji suddenly stepped forward and asked about something else: "Besides the Emei martial artists, do you have any other collaborators on your side?"

"Where did you come from?"

Hmm? Upon hearing this, Tang Li glanced at Yu Ji, though she hadn't intended to pay him any attention.

But because of He Li's sinister gaze...

He honestly replied, "I'm not quite sure, I only remember Qin Yuan often calling them..."

"The people of the Serpent Clan!"

The mystery is indeed unclear.

After all, they are alien creatures.

They know little about the local martial artists.

After saying all this...

Tang Li looked at He Li with pleading eyes: "Please...don't...don't eat me, I'm willing to be taken in and studied by you..." His tone was humble and his will to survive was extremely strong.

Upon hearing this, He Li laughed in a particularly strange way.

"Willing to be taken in? That's good."

"Then close your eyes."

Hmm? Upon hearing this, Tang Li sensed something was amiss but dared not question it and could only nod.

And just as he closed his eyes...

He Li suddenly ripped off the tattered human skin on its body, and then, in the terrified gaze of Tang Li who had sensed the danger and hurriedly opened his eyes, he bit off its head and swallowed it whole...

"Putting it inside your belly, isn't that also a form of storage?"

He chewed while grinning.

If Tang Li hadn't already died...

He'll probably start swearing and cursing.

[Target Consumed: Ape-like Ghost]

[Gained Ability: Clairaudience]

"Spiritual Hearing: The slightest movement within a mile can be detected by ear!"

One li? Does that mean you can clearly hear every rustle of grass within a 500-meter radius of yourself? Not bad, although martial artists can also enhance their hearing and eyesight upon breakthroughs…

But they certainly don't have that ability.

"Let's go inside the ruins and take a look!"

Having digested the ape-like creature and gained new abilities, He Li strode quickly toward the ruins.

The others quickly followed suit.

On the way, Yu Ji analyzed the information he had just received.

"We need to go to Emei Mountain next."

"There must be some kind of dragon offspring over there too!"

"Moreover, I strongly suspect that the dragon offspring on Emei Mountain has already been cultivated, and those human skins... are most likely made by that dragon offspring."

"After all, that thing is too strange."

"It's unlikely that it was created by humans."

"It looks more like it was made with supernatural forces."

"In addition..." Yu Ji frowned.

He Li asked suspiciously, "What else?"

Yu Ji shook her head: "I'm wondering what that Abbess Mingxuan from Emei, who possesses the dragon's offspring, is planning to do. If she has already cultivated the dragon's offspring, why is she still creating so many human skins..."

"They definitely have ulterior motives."

"She would never just be helping her cronies in different places."

"Furthermore, those monsters disguised in human skin are difficult for ordinary investigators to distinguish..."

"If they want to do something..."

"The impact would be enormous!"

Indeed, the harm caused by these monsters, who are disguised in human skin and are under someone's command, is far greater than that caused by those monsters who simply know how to harm people.

"Who cares what they're trying to do!" He Li interrupted Yu Ji, who was still deep in thought.

"Let's resolve this matter quickly."

"Then just go and take care of them."

"Whatever they want to do then..."

"If you're dead, you can't do anything!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji nodded.

After everyone passed through the wall and walked down the steps into the pit at the bottom of the ruins, which was formed by the initial spatial changes, they found that the place was sealed by a heavy stone door.

Of course, He Li knew there were secrets nearby.

Otherwise, Tang Li and his group wouldn't be able to get in.

He Li was simply too lazy to look for the authorities.

He simply gestured for Yu Ji and the others to step back, then raised his hand, gathered his strength, and suddenly threw a punch...

Boom!Boom! ! !

Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from the pit, making the ears of the many investigators present ache. And after He Li forcefully smashed open and shattered the heavy stone door…

As they stared at the two-meter-thick layer of broken stone revealed after the stone gate shattered, everyone's eyelids twitched wildly...

"My goodness, although I'd heard long ago that He Li possessed the strength of a hundred tons..."

"But this is clearly more than a hundred tons, isn't it?"

"A hundred tons? That was before they even started cultivating."

"They now possess a force of thousands of tons."

"Break down this door, so easily!"

Hearing the whispers behind him, He Li curled his lip.

A thousand tons? You're underestimating him, aren't you? He can now gather a full ten thousand tons of power.

However, He Li himself had not tested how much power it had and did not know, so he was thinking of finding an opportunity to try it out after things here were over.

Thinking this, He Li kicked aside the rubble and stepped into the ruins behind the stone gate.

But he hadn't even had a chance to look at it much.

He then saw the dimly lit passageway of the ruins ahead...

A staggering figure was running towards them in a disheveled state.

Among the many investigators who followed in, some seemed to recognize the blood-covered, disheveled figure, and they couldn't help but gasp in surprise when they saw him...

"Mystic-level Investigator, Ye Wenyu!!!"

"Why is she like this?"

"Ye Wenyu? The Ye family's Profound Knowledge Realm genius?"

"I heard her supernatural abilities are something like the Frost Sword, which is at the innate transcendent level..."

"But how did she end up like this?"

"This was done by Qin Yuanqian? No way! Not to mention that Ye Wenyu is also at the Profound Knowledge Realm and wouldn't be much weaker than Qin Yuanqian, Ye Wenyu should have had other teammates sent here..."

"And with their supernatural abilities, how could Qin Yuan possibly have beaten them to this state?"

"What else is in here?"

Seeing Ye Wenyu dragging her heavily injured body as she escaped, the investigators were all shocked...
