"I'll go check on Little Ant!" Leng Yue walked towards the pile of rotten flesh left behind after the Abomination disintegrated. Little Ant had been hiding inside the body that the Abomination had devoured, so it hadn't been discovered.

Jiang Yuan sat on the ground, pondering this bizarre matter. The Abomination was arguably the strangest monster he had ever encountered. To be precise, it was a monster that had transformed from a human into an Abomination. What puzzled him was that the Abomination had produced more than twenty cores before it died, which completely violated the rule that monsters would produce cores.

He had two guesses. First, judging from appearances alone, the cores that were exposed were actually the Abominations themselves. However, since they didn't have storage rings, they stored the obtained cores in their physical bodies. When they attacked the Abominations, they happened to knock out the cores they had hidden.

The second theory relates to the Abomination's Devouring ability. When they attacked the Abomination's spine, it completely disintegrated, and dozens of cores and more than fifty Dead Marks were released, proving that there was more than one life inside the Abomination.

"The Abomination truly integrates people into its body, taking the corpse and soul with it!" Jiang Yuan, having collected so many marks of the dead, was well aware of the cause and effect. Marks of the dead are only left behind when the soul is transcended or completely destroyed. These are the traces of the soul's existence in the real world. The fact that so many marks of the dead burst out of the Abomination's body means that it not only used the corpses but also devoured their souls.

"I remember that more than half of the dead marks were of the fifth rank or higher. Where did this abomination come from?"
