"Get lost!"
Chen Fengqing coldly snorted, turning the folding fan in his hand, already slicing a parrot Spirit Beast that was pouncing towards him into two halves.
But soon, two more wild cats pounced towards him.
He didn't dodge, sweeping his folding fan, and the two wild cats instantly shattered.
The next moment, several domestic dogs rushed up, causing Chen Fengqing to frown.
"What's going on? What's wrong with these animals!?"
Filled with surprise and doubt, his movements were quick. After all, he was a genuine Blood Transportation Warrior. Even if these wild dogs and cats were fearless, they posed no threat to him; they just made him a bit annoyed.
The two gray-clothed elders not far from him were also surrounded by some Spirit Beasts. Their faces were full of surprise as well, not knowing what had happened.
"Could there be a problem on Young Master's side!?"
The two gray-clothed elders exchanged glances, their hearts tightening. Ignoring the Spirit Beasts surrounding them, they quickly rushed out and ran towards the town.
Hiss...
However, just as the two ran a few steps, a rapid whooshing sound already came from one side.
Before they could react, one of the gray-clothed elders was already pounced upon and thrown to the ground.
Then came the sound of bones and flesh shattering. One thigh had long disappeared, and before he could let out a tragic cry, the upper part of his chest had been swallowed by a hideous mouthpart.
"Ah... Crack-Sound Flying Locust!!?"...
Seeing this scene, the other gray-clothed elder's eyes immediately became bloodshot, and he let out a furious roar, his eyes about to split.
However, what responded to him was an incredibly sharp sickle-like forelimb.
Swish!!
His chest was pierced by the giant sickle, directly splitting him in half.
"This is......."
Chen Fengqing, not far away, noticed the commotion here, turned his head to look, and after seeing the tragic state of the two gray-clothed elders and the giant Flying Locust eating the corpses, his heart immediately pounded wildly. At this moment, he had also recognized the identity of the Crack-Sound Flying Locust.
"How could there be such a thing in this damned place!!"
Without time to think further, he immediately leaped, wanting to get away from this powerful Spirit Beast.
It's just that often, what you fear the most is exactly what will come for you.
Just as he was about to move, the Crack-Sound Flying Locust not far away seemed to sense it, slowly turning its head, its black compound eyes simultaneously landing on Chen Fengqing.
Just as Chen Fengqing was praying in his heart not to be targeted, the next instant the Crack-Sound Flying Locust had disappeared from its spot, turning into an afterimage and heading straight for him.
Before he could react, the sickle-like forelimb had already reached his neck.
Filled with horror, he quickly raised his folding fan to block. However, the folding fan that he had spent a considerable amount of gold and silver to forge seemed like it was made of paper in front of that sickle forelimb. It only blocked for an instant before being cut in half from the middle, the sickle continuing its downward trajectory towards his neck without losing momentum.
Chen Fengqing was so scared that his soul almost left his body. He didn't hesitate to use a family secret technique, finally narrowly avoiding this attack.
And this was just the beginning. The Crack-Sound Flying Locust's speed was extremely fast. Before one attack landed, the hideous mouthpart already fell again.
This time, he had no chance to dodge again. His entire right arm was bitten off.
"Ah!!"
Chen Fengqing let out a painful wail, but soon the sound of this wail came to an abrupt halt.
His entire body was bitten in half by the Crack-Sound Flying Locust, splitting into two pieces.
The strength of the Crack-Sound Flying Locust itself belonged to the upper-middle tier among Spirit Beasts. When it fought with Black Bear before, it was only because he carried not light injuries, so
he didn't fully display his formidable power.
Now, after being affected by the Phantom Demon Beast, his original injuries no longer had any impact, and it would even enhance his strength to a certain extent.
.........
Poof...
Lin Sheng threw a punch, grabbing a wisp of black mist falling towards him from the sky. Then, he unleashed the Three Corpse Soul Severing Palm, wiping it out in a few breaths.
During the time he was escaping from Yangping Town, he had already wiped out no less than ten wisps of black mist.
Even now that he had left Yangping Town, he still hadn't completely escaped the range of the black mist. However, compared to the increasingly dense black mist in the sky above Yangping Town, the amount of black mist in the sky where he was now was much thinner.
Although he had left Yangping Town, he still didn't stop, only halting his movements after running several miles away from Yangping Town.
It wasn't that he wanted to stop. Perhaps because he had eliminated too many wisps of black mist, even though he had completely escaped the black mist's coverage area at this moment, more than ten wisps of black mist were still shooting towards him from behind.
These wisps of black mist intertwined with each other, looking like a giant black python.
Moreover, the black mist python's speed was extremely fast. Even with Lin Sheng unleashing his full speed, he still couldn't shake off the opponent; instead, the distance was constantly closing.
"Is it targeting me!?"
Seeing the black mist python relentlessly pursuing him, Lin Sheng couldn't help but frown tightly.
He truly didn't want to have even the slightest contact with this terrifyingly strong Phantom Demon Beast.
But in the current situation, if he didn't deal with this black mist python, the opponent would definitely not give up.
So, he could only stop and deal with it first.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Sheng's two palms simultaneously turned blackish-brown.
He circulated the Three Corpse Soul Severing Palm to its limit. As the black python approached, he extended his hands like lightning, directly seizing the black python.
Immediately, he felt a brutal struggling force coming from his hands. The black mist python seemed to be conscious, constantly writhing in his grasp.
The strong force made Lin Sheng almost unable to hold on, but fortunately, it was still within his tolerance. As the Three Corpse Soul Severing Palm's domineering toxicity completely spread, wisps of grayish-white smoke continuously rose from the black mist python.
The black mist python also slowly shrunk, until after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the black mist python was finally completely wiped out.
What appeared in his palm were more than ten black hairs.
He opened his palm and glanced at these black hairs. However, before he could react, these black hairs seemed to come alive, frantically drilling into the skin of his palm.
"Damn it!!"
This scene was completely beyond Lin Sheng's expectation. He had no defenses whatsoever. By the time he reacted, five or six hairs had already drilled into his skin.
The remaining 10 or so were immediately pulled out by his quick hands and eyes, and he used the Three Corpse Soul Severing to completely corrode them away.
But he still didn't relax at all. His mood sank to the bottom, and his brows were furrowed so tightly they almost formed the character 'river' (river).
Because at this moment, it seemed as if five or six small worms were constantly moving through his skin on his arm, yet he himself didn't feel a thing.
"Damn it!"
Cursing, Lin Sheng eyed a black worm moving on his arm. With his other hand, he didn't hesitate to grab, directly embedding it into his skin, wanting to pull it out from the flesh.
But his movements were fast, and the worm's movements were even faster. As if knowing Lin Sheng's thoughts, the moment his hand tightened, it had already drilled deep into the flesh and moved to the other side of his arm.
Drip... Drip...
Drops of bright red blood flowed out, dripping onto the ground.
Lin Sheng's expression was as gloomy as water. He continuously reached out and dug into his own skin, wanting to dig out the black worms.
Although he didn't know what the consequences of letting the Phantom Demon Beast's hairs drill into his body would be, he knew without thinking that it definitely wouldn't be anything good.
Clearly, the Phantom Demon Beast targeted various wild beasts, so why did it target him this time!!
Lin Sheng couldn't figure it out, nor did he have time to think.
Because at this moment, the worms in his skin were crawling from his arm towards his torso.
However, at this moment, he had already scratched his arm until it was covered in blood and wounds, yet he still hadn't caught a single worm.
This also made his heart increasingly agitated. Just as he was hesitating whether to give up his entire left arm, he suddenly thought of something.
His entire arm turned blackish-brown again. With this change, the black worms in his arm seemed to be stimulated, wanting to run towards his other body parts even more frantically.
Lin Sheng naturally wouldn't give them this chance. Without the slightest hesitation, he gathered all the blood and qi within his body that was contaminated with three types of potent poisons onto his left arm. At the same time, he even used his right hand to directly grasp his left arm's shoulder tightly, preventing the black worms from escaping.
After this series of actions, it indeed worked. The black worms scurried around wildly in his left arm, but with their path blocked, they couldn't leave the left arm and enter other parts.
Meanwhile, the blood and qi in his left arm, contaminated with potent poisons, continuously surged. After more than ten breaths of time passed, finally the black worms could no longer hold on and scrambled to drill out from Lin Sheng's skin.
Lin Sheng immediately, with quick eyes and hands, pinched out the black worms that had drilled out of his body.
Soon, three black worms were crushed to death by him.
The other two, wanting to escape the restraint on his shoulder, attempted to drill into Lin Sheng's torso. However, he didn't give them this chance again. After being flushed by the blood and qi carrying potent poisons, the remaining two worms' originally rapid escape speed also slowed down significantly.
They were directly pulled out of his flesh by Lin Sheng and heavily crushed to death.
Only after confirming that there were no other abnormalities in his body did he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"This damned thing is truly troublesome!"
At this moment, his body was already soaked with cold sweat. Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough and he had sufficient means, otherwise the outcome this time would have been unimaginable.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Lin Sheng took out wound medicine from the package on the ground and applied it generously to his injured left arm.
Only then did he realize that Big Yellow had already hidden far away in the bushes nearby, with only a pair of dog eyes secretly watching him.
Lin Sheng was immediately furious. If it weren't for this dog, he wouldn't have attracted so much black mist, wouldn't have continuously destroyed the black mist, and wouldn't have ended up being targeted by that Phantom Demon Beast and nearly fallen.
Seeming to sense Lin Sheng's anger, Big Yellow dashed out from the bushes at this moment, ran up to Lin Sheng, its wagging tail almost becoming an electric fan. Its bright red tongue constantly hung out, its eyes squinted into slits, and it kept rubbing its head, which was missing a patch of fur, against Lin Sheng's thigh.
Looking at Big Yellow's appearance, Lin Sheng couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
However, he also found that this dog, Big Yellow, seemed to possess quite a bit of intelligence, noticeably smarter than ordinary domestic dogs or wild dogs.
Especially, Big Yellow actually discovered the black mist overhead in advance, and even knew that there was something wrong with this black mist, actively wanting to stay away from it.
This is not something an ordinary dog, or even some Mortal Beasts, could do.
The hairs emitted by a terrifying demon beast like the Phantom Demon Beast are not that easy to avoid. After all, even powerful Spirit Beasts like the Crack-Sound Flying Locust couldn't escape its control.
"Could it be Big Yellow..."
This thought surfaced in his mind, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at Big Yellow instantly changed.
And Big Yellow also suddenly shivered, as if sensing something. It immediately tucked its tail between its legs, cowering in front of Lin Sheng, its dog head looking left and right. Only after noticing Lin Sheng's gaze on it did its dog body tremble.
Finally, it quickly turned its head away, not daring to meet Lin Sheng's eyes, though one eye still secretly glanced in this direction.
"Big Yellow..."
Lin Sheng showed a gentle smile on his face, reaching out to stroke Big Yellow's coarse, not-so-smooth fur.
His stroking movements were quite gentle, causing Big Yellow's tense body to involuntarily relax, its eyes squinting, showing an expression of enjoyment.
However, soon Big Yellow felt a pain in its neck. A finger had gently sunk a short distance into the flesh of its neck.
"Yelp..."
Big Yellow immediately jumped up from the ground, letting out an extremely miserable cry from its mouth, as if its dog leg had been broken. It had already urinated, producing foul-smelling urine.
"Shut up!"
Looking at the strongly reacting Big Yellow, Lin Sheng frowned and gave a shout, only then making it quiet down.
"A wound the size of a fingernail isn't going to kill you, what are you so excited about...?"
Originally, he thought Big Yellow had grown a bit bolder, after all, it dared to fight with the Black Wind Bandits who entered the house. Now it seemed he had overestimated it.
Ignoring the now obedient Big Yellow, because at this moment, information about Big Yellow had appeared in his consciousness.
【Beast Name: Rural Earth Dog (Mortal)】
【A common earth dog in the countryside, strong vitality, energetic, gluttonous. Often bullied by its peers when young, hence extremely timid. However, it is fortunate that it carries a trace of the demon beast 'Diwen Dog' Bloodline, which is almost negligible. Due to consuming Spirit Beast flesh and blood for a long time, it was extremely lucky to activate this trace of Bloodline, gaining some ability to perceive danger. If nourished with a large amount of Spirit Beast flesh and blood, there is a chance to further activate the Diwen Dog Bloodline, though the probability is extremely low.】
【Ingestion Effect: Perception Boost 3】
"Demon beast Diwen Dog!?"
After reading the mountain and sea scroll's description of Big Yellow, Lin Sheng's face showed a look of astonishment.
He didn't expect that the wild dog he had casually picked up to test medicine on actually possessed a trace of demon beast Bloodline.
Although the evaluation described it as a trace that was almost negligible, it was still much stronger than ordinary wild dogs and cats.
Although the ingestion attribute was only three points, and only one type, it was a rather rare perception attribute.
This point could already be considered quite rare.
After all, the Horned Owl's two points of perception boost had brought him considerable convenience, and a 3-point perception boost would undoubtedly have a better effect.
Moreover, the description given by the mountain and sea scroll this time seemed quite detailed, much more detailed than the previous description of the Phantom Demon Beast.
He did have some guesses about this point.
The mountain and sea scroll seemed to provide more detailed information about Spirit Beasts of lower grade and level.
The detailed information referred to here was not just about the description of this Spirit Beast species, but more about the description of this specific Spirit Beast itself.
Just like this time, it even mentioned why Big Yellow was timid and that there was a tiny chance to further activate its Bloodline by consuming Spirit Beast flesh and blood later.
As for the records about the Phantom Demon Beast, they were basically descriptions of the species, with almost no description of that specific Phantom Demon Beast.
Before, he wasn't entirely sure, but now with such a clear comparison, he was basically certain of this characteristic of the mountain and sea scroll.
"Perhaps this is related to the number of imprints I have activated. After I activate the second imprint, the information description I obtain might be more..."
Regarding this point, he also had his own guesses.
However, what it truly is will only be known after breaking through and experimenting.
