Chapter 444: The Beast World's Charmer (9)

Damp mist.

A faint scent of grass and trees suffused the area, a gray, monotonous hue spreading across the field of vision. When the surrounding sounds vanished in an instant, Aldridge keenly sensed that something was amiss.

It is impossible to fly in the fog.

When the wings are spread, it feels like they are being pressed down by heavy mountains.

The senses seem to be in this space.

Being infinitely slowed down makes people's spirits gradually relax, and they begin to become dull without realizing it.

Aldridge entered cautiously.

He followed his intuition and continued to go deeper.

But the deeper you go.

The fog here became thicker and thicker. The visibility within the original field of vision was relatively wide, but as Aldrich went deeper, more and more areas were covered by the gray fog.

The visible range is reduced.

Even a faint floral scent began to permeate the air.

Strangely shaped dark purple flowers bloomed in the mist, and because of the cover of the mist, it was difficult for people to notice their existence.

And beneath the deep purple flowers.

It is a root covered with thorns, deeply embedded in the dark devilish soil.

A tangled web of roots spread underground, continuously injecting demonic energy into the ground. The color of the demonic soil continued to darken, spreading towards him.

And Aldridge was completely unaware.

His eyes were obscured by the fog, and his once sharp senses were lost in the thick mist.

curious coincidence.

As if bewitched, the urgency and anxiety in his heart to find the ancestral treasure became stronger and more obvious.

And the more you can't find it.

This vague feeling of irritability that lingered around him made Aldridge even more unable to calm down.

You can leave as long as you find the treasures your ancestors lost here.

Such thoughts.

It seemed to have slowly invaded his mind without him realizing it, and even silently crossed the line of his own safety.

It was as if there were an invisible hand.

Controlling him.

It gradually seeped in without anyone noticing, causing Aldridge to lose his judgment and his composure.

Demonic energy.

According to the records of the great masters of the immortal cultivation world, demonic energy stems from the accumulation of negative emotions within every human being. It's greed, hypocrisy, and desire. Demons are inherently brutal and bloodthirsty, acting recklessly and belligerently.

Flowing in the bones.

It's such violent blood.

When contaminated by evil demonic energy, the greed and desires deep within one's heart will be infinitely magnified.

Reason will be gradually devoured by one's own greed.

This will quietly cross the line of calmness and make people take risks again and again.

For those who have never practiced.

For the orcs who don't understand this either.

The demonic energy was undoubtedly fatal, causing their fragile minds to collapse at an extremely fast speed. The orcs had no souls; their strength lay only in their unconscious bodies tempered by spiritual energy.

even.

They couldn't even officially start civilization.

This time we entered the forest.

They are the strongest warriors in the Black Wolf Tribe and the Grey Eagle Tribe, and they brought quite a few people with them.

And the moment Qiao Xi noticed the illusion.

She immediately expanded the scope of her mental power, no longer saving her spiritual power, and quickly transformed into an adult form to search for the orcs scattered in various places by the illusion array.

Go early.

As long as they are not eroded by the evil spirit, they will be taken away from the forest as soon as possible.

but.

The scattered orcs were in different directions. Even if Qiao Xi could tear through space and teleport over to rescue them, there were too many orcs and she was still unable to cope with them.

The leaders of the two tribes.

It is the strongest existence and has a certain resistance to demonic energy, so it will not be corroded so quickly.

And Qiao Xi's rescue.

She started by rescuing the weakest orc warriors, without even having time to explain. She had just torn through space and saw those dazed orcs, so she directly dragged them into the space crack and took them out.

Some orcs were corrupted by evil spirits.

Qiao Xi took the opportunity to purify it.

The orcs who were rescued were still a little confused and didn't understand what was happening, but when they saw this weak female suddenly appear in front of them.

Still shocked.

only.

Because the Master Living Being's aura was so unique, they quickly recognized it. This seemingly weak female was their Master Living Being.

The people of the Black Wolf Tribe were rescued one by one.

Next up is the Grey Eagle Tribe.

When they were found, their reactions were similar to those of the Black Wolf Tribe. Some who hadn't been succumbed to the demonic energy and were still struggling to resist were all speechless with shock when they saw Qiao Xi suddenly appear out of nowhere.

but.

Qiao Xi didn't give them time to speak.

As soon as he saw someone, he quickly purified the evil spirit, grabbed the person and threw him into the space crack, teleporting him to the forest outside.

The people of the Grey Eagle tribe were dazed.

Before I had time to adapt to the sudden disappearance of the pain in my body, I opened my eyes and saw myself outside the forest.

“W-Where is this…?”

The Grey Eagle member who had just been grabbed by Qiao Xi and thrown into the space crack came to his senses and looked blankly at the entrance to the forbidden forest not far away.

"Master Living Spirit saved us."

Someone from the Black Wolf Tribe came over and patted him on the shoulder.

This forest is very strange.

Soon after they entered, they encountered fog, and then went deeper and deeper. They even found that their ears and sense of smell, which usually worked well, had failed one by one inside.

Not to mention the people of the Grey Eagle Tribe.

Their flying ability, which they were so proud of, was completely useless.

Originally thought.

As long as they encountered danger, they could still fly away. But when they really encountered danger, they found that they could not open their wings at all.

And heavy wings.

It was like being held down by something, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open my wings. Even if I did, I couldn't fly.

They have always been arrogant.

I am used to looking down at the earth from a high altitude and taking in everything.

They are the strongest warriors in the tribe.

And now we have lost that ability.

Suddenly I couldn't do anything and I was completely panicked.

Moreover, the longer they stayed, the more uncomfortable they found themselves. Fortunately, this discomfort did not last long, as the living being from the Black Wolf Tribe came to rescue them.

Lord Living Beings...

But he appeared out of nowhere in the fog and rescued so many people at once!

The eagles of the Grey Eagle Tribe gradually began to look at each other with admiration.

They have always respected the strong.

Although they claim to be the overlords of the sky, they are not so arrogant as to ignore all the orcs on this continent.

Just as they respect the great wizard.

They will also admire people who have absolute strong power.

not to mention.

I have seen it with my own eyes and experienced it myself.

No one knew what the great creature did, but in the blink of an eye he sent them out of the forest.

"But, the Living Being is female?"

One orc recalled the incredibly beautiful female he had just caught a glimpse of. He had never seen a female so slender and fragile, with arms so thin that they seemed to break at the slightest bend.

but.

It’s precisely those arms and hands that look so thin.

When they were grabbed by the back of their collars and thrown out, it was clean and neat without any drag.

It's amazing.

"I saw it too, it's a female!" Someone from the Black Wolf Tribe spoke up.

They had never seen a female like this.

They couldn't help but feel itchy, curious and fresh. But when they thought that it was a living being, they suppressed their curiosity and novelty of wanting to find out more.

The rescued orcs looked at each other in bewilderment.

They both saw excitement and curiosity in each other's eyes.

Although it is true that I care about it.

But that was a Living Being! Although... a Living Being was a rare female, and different from the females they usually saw!

How could they not be curious?

The people from the Black Wolf Tribe and the Grey Eagle Tribe were waiting outside for Lord Creatures and the two patriarchs. They chatted about Lord Creatures from time to time and also talked about their respective leaders.

Qiao Xi in the forbidden forest.

Heading towards August.

The other side.

August did not act rashly.

I don’t know if it’s because of the kind of relationship I had with Qiao Xi.

There was a faint white glow on his body, isolating all the ominous auras that were entangled with him.

Where he stood.

It's like the last piece of pure land.

August judged that his current location should be close to the center.

And arrived at this place.

He could even see what the 'demonic energy' that Qiao Xi had mentioned before was.

Those cold and turbid black auras.

It gave him a very uncomfortable feeling, and even his body seemed to be rejecting every inch of air here.

These auras are evil.

It didn't feel very good to him. He tried to attack and entangle him again and again, but was blocked by the faint white light on his body.

And this circle of bright white light surrounded him.

There is the scent of Qiao Xi.

Very rich.

August felt a little warm in his heart, and he tried to leave, but he was surrounded by thick fog and could not see anything clearly.

“Swish——”

There were some slight noises nearby.

August also sensed a familiar breath in an instant, and he glanced over. The moment he realized that the person coming was Qiao Xi, his eyes also lit up.

but.

Qiao Xi saw the small circles of light around him.

I am a little confused.

Is there any other privilege like this?

[Because you are now the incarnation of a natural aura, and are also nature's favorite, you can really bring blessings to those close to you.]

In space.

The little black cat system gives thoughtful prompts.

Just like Qiao Xi's previous Heavenly Dao Holy Body, a special physique like that will naturally be favored by the world's will after it is confirmed in the world.

so.

Even though Qiao Xi herself didn't take it too seriously.

But there will be no shortage of blessings and good fortune.

Wherever she stays, she will bring good luck to that place invisibly.

And August.

As someone who had physical contact with her, although he was a substitute, she had stored a lot of ice spiritual power, so his body naturally copied her spiritual power.

There was some intimacy.

Naturally, you can get some small blessings similar to "privileges".

Her existence itself.

It is the best medicine to purify evil spirits.

Anyone who has a connection with her will feel like they have taken a bite of a delicious pie. They will also receive some invisible blessings and become resistant to evil spirits.

Now August is the best example.

There was no extra time for conversation.

When Qiao Xi noticed that the breath of Aldrich, who was originally quite strong, was rapidly weakening, she looked solemn and didn't care that August was still talking to her about the halo on his body.

She drove August into the space crack.

Directly teleport people out of the forest.

I was careless.

Qiao Xi had first noticed that August's aura was weak, while Aldridge's was quite strong. She wondered if August had run into some serious trouble.

Come here as quickly as possible.

But I didn't expect it.

August's breath was covered by the ice spirit, so it became weak.

And over there.

Aldridge, who had been so powerful before, completely weakened. Qiao Xi didn't delay any longer and quickly tore through space to rush over there.

Aldridge is almost at the center position.

Further ahead is the depth of the forest.

The land in the center is completely dark in color, and around it grow strangely shaped bright red and purple flowers with a sweet and fishy smell that is so decadent that it makes you sick.

On the ground were creeping mutated vines.

It has many barbs and spikes.

The demonic energy, so thick it was almost tangible, was cold and turbid, as if it was about to transform into dark dragons, swirling around and entangling all life it encountered, intending to gradually invade them.

Qiao Xi rushed over.

When Aldridge was found, this cold and handsome young man had already been corrupted by evil spirits.

And transformed into the appearance of a half-orc.

From his torn back, massive wings unfurled, plump and strong, each feather swirling with demonic energy. Filled with strangeness and foreboding, Aldrich's aura was completely disordered.

The invading demonic energy.

It quickly seeped into his internal organs. The proud eagle might have struggled, but he could not resist the evil energy that forcefully invaded his muscles.

The spiritual energy contained in his flesh and blood.

Drive them out little by little.

At this moment, Aldrich was in a state of madness. The moment his massive wings spread out, they tore through his clothing. His sturdy upper body was entwined with pitch-black lines formed by the gradual condensation of demonic energy.

Appearing and disappearing.

Qiao Xi's expression was solemn.

She did not avoid Aldridge, who had already lost his mind and fallen into a state of madness.

Pure spiritual energy rushed through in an instant.

All the evil spirits lingering around Aldrich were expelled. When the manic eagle sensed the pure breath, its bloody and lifeless sharp eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of Qiao Xi.

A pure and clear breath.

Like a trickle of water, it dispels those strange and insane auras.

only.

It's hot.

The overly brightly colored flowers exuded a sweet, almost decadent fragrance, already stirring his violent temper and greedy instincts. The uncontrollable heat was scorching and unbearable, and his rationality had long been burned away in the process.

He was swift.

It swoops down at an extremely fast speed, bringing the eagle's hunting skills to the extreme.

Qiao Xi focused on purifying the evil spirit from him.

Didn't dodge.

Aldridge suddenly swooped over and threw her to the ground. The man's strong arms holding her were hot. The moment they touched the snow-white robe, the cold touch quickly spread through Aldridge's palm.

This was the temperature he longed for.

The unconscious beast growled and growled.

He was left with only the purest instinct, wanting only what he desired. Qiao Xi's hands were held firmly in place by Aldridge's hand, without waiting for the girl to actively release her spiritual power to purify the demonic energy from him.

He was already in a state of rampage.

It's completely out of control.

“Swish——”

With the sound of huge wings spreading out, all disguises were removed.

The unusually rude Aldridge had no sense.

All that was left was the instinct to seek spiritual power. Relying solely on the purification like Qiao Xi was not enough for him, as he was in agony and didn't want to wait even a moment.

It was undoubtedly torture.

So, he came to ask for spiritual power himself.

Qiao Xi's consciousness quickly escaped.

Although this method is indeed the fastest, the out-of-control and angry eagle is far more crazy than the wolf before.

The proud eagle lowered its head.

Surrendering to the most sincere instinct, constantly longing for the power to relieve the evil spirit.

Nearby are gorgeous and eerie magic flowers.

Taking root in the dark devilish soil, it wanted to spread silently and pollute them again, but it was isolated again and again by the pure spiritual energy that permeated it.

It's like a place that cannot be entered.

Wrapped in pure and rich spiritual energy, it constantly purifies the surrounding spiritual energy.

Aldrich's demonic energy was wiped out one by one.

When his sanity gradually returned and his consciousness gradually became clear, his pupils suddenly contracted when he saw the scene in front of him.

Snow-white and delicate.

The soft and beautiful skin, as if emitting a faint glow, appeared brightly in his sight.

His body suddenly froze.

The big hand that controlled the girl's slender waist touched the slightly cool skin. Aldridge looked at the scene in disbelief.

Very unfamiliar.

This unprecedented feeling can be felt more clearly after regaining sanity.

Hot and uncontrollable.

But this time, it was no longer out of control due to demonic energy.

"Don't just stand there..."

The fair, beautiful girl in front of him frowned slightly, as if dissatisfied with his distraction. She reached out with slender hands, wrapped them around his neck, and pulled the arrogant eagle down again.

The evil spirit has not been completely eliminated.

It will come back again.

This time, no longer bewitched by demonic energy, Aldrich's consciousness was exceptionally clear. He had once been incredibly familiar with himself, but now, in this state, he felt unfamiliar.

Aldridge kept his head down and said nothing.

He just blindly followed his instinct to expel the evil spirit, trying to hide the feeling of being completely out of control.

only.

He failed.

The moment a new and unfamiliar emotion surged over him, the huge wings behind Aldridge involuntarily spread out, blocking out all light from the outside world.

Each feather is beautiful and delicate.

Almost completely obscuring the sky, its wings, then slightly folded and spread, would always stir up a warm breeze, representing his restlessness at that moment.

The eagle was completely absorbed in it.

The evil spirit was completely eliminated, and Qiao Xi wanted to push him away.

He had no intention of letting go.

The passage of time seemed to be gradually slowed down and sank again.

"What did you do to me?"

Having regained his composure, Aldridge's voice was low and hoarse, with the allure and sexiness of a passionate moment. His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his hawk-like sharp gaze fixed directly on Qiao Xi.

In deep eyes.

A fiery fire unlike any before had already been ignited, breaking all his usual indifference and calmness.

"You did something to me."

Qiao Xi's voice sounded weak and powerless.

His spiritual power was forcibly plundered in this way.

If it weren't for the fact that she herself was a ball of pure spiritual energy, she would have been able to slowly recover bit by bit and would not have died due to lack of spiritual power.

If it were replaced with something else.

It's really hard to bear being forced to give up spiritual power like this.

Aldridge looked at the injuries on Qiao Xi's body.

These were the injuries he had sustained when he was possessed by the devil. Of course, there were also some injuries that were left after he woke up because he was unable to control himself for a while.

After regaining consciousness.

After thinking carefully, he could still remember the time when he lost his mind.

but……

What he wanted to ask was why he was still so out of control after waking up and couldn't help wanting to hug her.

“The flowers.”

Perhaps Qiao Xi saw through his thoughts and gestured to the withered magic flower that had been cut off by spiritual energy not far away.

Such a magical flower.

It itself has a bewitching and catalytic effect, not to mention the demonized Aldrich. While his sanity is being eroded by the demonic energy, he is also constantly incited by the demonized fragrance.

It's hard to control.

Although he has awakened from the demonic state, the instinct that indulged him in it has not completely awakened.

Plus.

Perhaps it was because it was his first time trying something like this, and it brought not only a strong visual impact, but also his own personal experience completely overturned his ideas.

therefore.

It becomes out of control.

"...I'm sorry, thank you for saving me." Aldridge was silent for a while, then hugged the weak Qiao Xi into his arms.

He didn't know why Qiao Xi became like this.

Living beings.

It turns out that it can change its shape freely?

Qiao Xi now obviously looks like an adult female, but she is weaker than the weakest female.

And when we first met.

What brought great shock to Aldridge was her soft and petite body, which completely overturned Aldridge's impression of females.

He advocates strength.

Probably never thought about it.

One day I will be fascinated by this delicate body without any strength or beauty, and I will be greedy for such slender hands and her who looks very fragile.

Aldrich absorbed a lot of spiritual power.

He feels fulfilled.

The part that was eroded and contaminated by the evil spirit not only had the evil spirit removed, but even absorbed spiritual energy to repair the body, becoming stronger than before.

Clothes woven with spiritual power appeared.

Aldridge watched her actions and folded his wings. He was no longer restless, just looking at Qiao Xi, who had returned to her original size and was drowsy.

He also subconsciously held the person in his arms to protect him.

I don't know how long I was delayed here.

But Aldridge felt that time passed very quickly, and Qiao Xi rubbed her eyes while being held in his arms: "They are already outside. We can walk out directly along this road."

Fog formed by demonic energy.

It had long been dispelled by the heat wave of spiritual energy.

Qiao Xi had consumed too much spiritual energy and was too lazy to spend energy to tear the space again. She had torn the space many times before, so it was not completely without consumption.

result.

His spiritual energy was plundered again by Aldridge so unscrupulously.

At least you need to give your body some rest to recover.

“…”

Aldridge looked at the girl who had fallen asleep in his arms, and a subtle light flashed across his gloomy eyes. He plucked a feather from his own body and placed it on Qiao Xi.

He lowered his head slightly to look at the person sleeping in his arms.

Aldridge's eyes narrowed slightly.

Qiao Xi, he wants to take her away.
