His face instantly became distorted, and his entire body and limbs twisted in all sorts of bizarre positions. Mu Hanyan and the others could clearly hear the crackling sound of bones rubbing against each other. Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks like dense raindrops. His eyes were filled with pain and the madness that came from extreme pain.
This situation was exactly the same as when Jiang Qiling was testing the elixir formula a few days ago, even the pain and madness in her eyes were the same.
I remember Taotie once said that even if the strange beasts have the powerful ability to transform into human form, it is not so easy to transform into human form or change back to their original form every time. Each time will cause great damage to their vitality. Therefore, the strong elders of the beast tribe will learn human alchemy and find ways to refine transformation pills.
Taotie was so furious at this time that he was eager to transform back into his original form. Not only was his vitality seriously damaged, but he also had to endure the same pain as Jiang Qiling had suffered before, and even worse.
The Taotie's roar became rougher and rougher, and finally turned into a low and painful roar. A ferocious beast with bared fangs and a hideous face appeared before his eyes. The pressure from the beast, which was filled with endless humiliation and anger, surged towards the surroundings like a tide.
Under that pressure, the strange beasts surrounding them no longer had their previous violent aura. They lowered their bodies, and with fear from deep in their blood, they involuntarily retreated backwards, and some even surrendered directly to the ground.
Seeing this, Mu Hanyan knew that the storm was over. Although Taotie had been trapped in the illusion of life and death for nearly a million years, these strange beasts in the Black Wood Prison no longer knew what he looked like, but the memory of the oppression imprinted in their blood would not change. Faced with the Taotie who had now returned to his original form, how could they have the slightest desire to fight?
Jiang Qiling and Gao Weihu's expressions had also completely relaxed, but at this moment, the Taotie roared and charged into the herd. Its sharp fangs pierced left and right, and its four claws spread out, waving wildly like a dozen steel knives.
The miserable roars of beasts came one after another, and the thick smell of blood filled the wind and lingered for a long time.
In just a moment, dozens of strange beasts fell in a pool of blood. Faced with the ferocious Taotie, these strange beasts, which were under pressure, had no desire to resist at all. They were like lambs to be slaughtered.
The killing continued, and the gathered blood flowed like a stream.
He's gone berserk! This guy has finally gone berserk! Mu Hanyan and the others looked at each other, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
It turned out that this was the real Taotie. The four legendary beasts were not just for show! Mu Hanyan and the others finally witnessed the brutality and ruthlessness of the beast.
Jiang Qiling couldn't help but turn her head and dry heave a few times. Although she had recovered some of her memories from her previous life, she was still just an ordinary cultivator at this moment. She had never seen such a ruthless massacre.
"Forget it, stop it." Mu Hanyan said to Taotie.
No matter what, these were all his kind. How could he be so cruel? The crazy and ruthless killing was so unbearable that even Mu Hanyan couldn't bear it.
However, the Taotie, which had already gone completely berserk, would not hear Mu Hanyan's words. It continued to wave its fangs and claws at the remaining monsters, killing them mercilessly.
Finally, he bit off the head of the last strange beast, and Taotie stopped.
"The dignity of the divine beast cannot be offended. Any descendants of my beast clan who commits rebellion will be killed without mercy!" Taotie opened his bloody mouth and roared to the sky.
Seeing that Taotie ignored her words and completely forgot the three rules they had agreed upon, Mu Hanyan's face had already darkened, but when she heard his roar, her expression softened again.
The beast tribe has its own hierarchy and ways of maintaining its dignity. Of course, for the bloodthirsty beast tribe, you can't expect them to follow any principles. Killing is the best way and also the law of their survival. It cannot be judged by human morality.
In reality, in the human world, the hierarchy is just as strict, and offending a powerful being will also result in punishment, and even annihilation of the entire clan. In a sense, this may be even more cruel and ruthless than the killing among beastmen.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. This is how we punish the descendants of the beast tribe who commit rebellion." After a long time, Taotie calmed down from his rage. Guessing that Mu Hanyan might be dissatisfied with him, he explained.
As he spoke, he grinned and smiled at Mu Hanyan.
"Can you take the meat off your teeth first?" Jiang Qiling retched again and pointed at a piece of meat hanging on the fangs of Taotie, which was from an unknown beast.
When she was in the illusion of life and death, she hated Taotie so much, thinking that this guy was cruel, brutal and inhumane. But now, after seeing the cruel pictures of him slaughtering his own people, she suddenly didn't hate him so much. In comparison, this guy was actually very gentle to her.
"Oh." Taotie responded, rolled his tongue and swallowed the piece of meat directly.
Perhaps to prove that he had cleaned himself up, he opened his mouth again and looked at Jiang Qiling.
"Uh..." Jiang Qiling couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and started vomiting violently.
"Actually, you transformed into a human form before, and they don't remember what you look like, nor do they know who you are. Why do you have to be so cruel?" Although Mu Hanyan knew that Taotie had his reasons for going berserk, she still gave him some advice.
"The hierarchy among the beastmen must never be destroyed. Anyone who dares to challenge the majesty of the beasts must pay the price with life and blood, without any reason. This is the reason why our beastmen have been able to survive to this day. For the continuation of the beastmen, I must do this." Taotie said firmly.
Mu Hanyan thought about it and didn't say anything more.
On reflection, Taotie was right. The beastmen were unlike humans. Most were inherently belligerent and unruly. If there weren't hierarchy, they would have long since annihilated each other. When it came to matters of right and wrong concerning the beastmen's heritage, there really wasn't much room for reason. This was the difference between them and humans.
"By the way, is this very useful to you human practitioners?" Taotie spit out a few colorful soul beads and placed them in his claws, asking Mu Hanyan. Bloodstains were faintly visible on them, which were obviously from the heads of several strange beasts that it had bitten off.
"Yeah." Although she felt that these strange beasts were unlucky, she would not refuse the five-colored soul beads. After all, she didn't kill them, so there was no need for her to pretend to be a saint.
"I'm giving it to you. They still have some on them. Take whatever you need." Taotie threw the five-colored soul beads to Mu Hanyan and looked at the corpses of the strange beasts on the ground. He added, "This is the price for offending the divine beasts. Everything they have will belong to me."
