"call!"
The black ghost-like creature rushed straight towards Zhou Qing again. Its feet were off the ground and it was floating at an extremely fast speed, causing gusts of wind.
A layer of black light wrapped around his fist, and Zhou Qing directly slammed towards the ghost. Even the Nine Yang Tide was disturbed and was greatly affected.
"boom!"
A punch hit the ghost, directly breaking it apart, but something very strange happened immediately.
The ghost turned into smoke and moved towards Zhou Qing, trying to wrap him up completely.
This kind of ghost is like it can't be killed! But Zhou Qing looked calm and not panicked.
Is there anything in the world that cannot be killed?
At least this ghost cannot have such magical powers.
The red blood diffused out, and in turn rolled back and enveloped a large amount of black smoke.
Then the qi and blood began to evaporate, making a hissing sound, and the black smoke began to gradually decrease and was finally swept away.
The Qi and blood spread out, and there was no trace of any ghost anymore, and then the Qi and blood were absorbed into Zhou Qing's body.
Zhou Qing frowned, "This Xu Ling is indeed weird."
This kind of monster is also recorded in the Jiuyang Encyclopedia. It is a native creature of Jiuyang Ruins and does not exist in the outside world. It is unknown how it appeared.
There might be some in the Boundless Sky Ruins, but that place is too far away and has nothing to do with Zhou Qing for the time being.
The shapes of the Ruin Spirits vary, some are human-shaped, and some are non-human-shaped. They are not creatures of flesh and blood, but they are not souls either. The Jiuyang Encyclopedia does not mention what kind of life form they are.
Judging from the performance of the Xu Ling just now, we can know that this is something completely different from normal life.
The biggest characteristic of the Xu Ling is that it is difficult to kill.
It is difficult to kill them all at once with punches, kicks, swords or slashes. They will only be scattered and can reunite at any time, or continue to fight the enemy in a scattered posture.
If the whole body is covered by the smoke-like Xu Ling, it will be completely eroded by it. The body will be occupied by the Xu Ling, and the soul will be eaten directly by the Xu Ling! The body occupied by the Xu Ling will gradually shrink over time, and eventually disappear, without even the bones left, as if it had been digested by the Xu Ling.
And there is precedent that every time a living being is digested, the strength of the Xu Ling will be greatly improved.
If you want to kill the Xu Ling, you either have to break them up again and again until they reach their limit and collapse.
Or they can be trapped by some means, and then continuously refined and killed with power, eventually letting them disappear and evaporate.
In short, they can only be killed by slow methods. Unlike other enemies, where you can't kill them by chopping off their heads or stabbing their hearts, this is not a creature that can be killed easily. It has extremely tenacious vitality.
The ruins spirit can appear anywhere in the Jiuyang Ruins, and can fly in the sky and hide in the ground.
It may appear in deep areas or on the edge of the ruins, but no ruins spirit has ever been found outside the Jiuyang Ruins. It seems that this kind of monster can only move in this area of ruins.
Not only the practitioners who come into Jiuyang Ruins from outside are the targets of the Ruin Spirit, but even the wild beasts living inside Jiuyang Ruins will be attacked by the Ruin Spirit.
This is a strange monster that only targets living things. If you put a puppet in front of the Xu Ling, the puppet will not be attacked by the Xu Ling.
It can be said to be the enemy of life, a monster that specializes in devouring life.
A Xu Ling whose attack power is almost at the internal organs level, it takes a lot of effort for a bone refining warrior to kill it completely.
As for the weaker Ruin Spirits...
There is no Xu Ling weaker than the Zang Fu Realm. At least among the Xu Ling discovered so far, there is no weaker one.
Ruin spirits are definitely one of the dangers that practitioners least want to encounter after entering Jiuyang Ruins.
Both difficult and stingy.
Killing a wild beast can yield some flesh and blood materials, but if you take great pains to kill a ruined spirit, you will get nothing.
Just like before, Heixu didn't leave a single spiritual hair for Zhou Qing.
This thing is like a mass of insubstantial polymer that gave birth to consciousness, without any component parts that have the properties of existence.
As for the strength of Xu Ling, people in the world have probably already figured out the rules based on the experience accumulated over the long years.
The single-color spirit is the weakest, with an attack power around the internal organs level. However, its vitality is incredibly strong. The overall strength of the single-color spirit is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary internal organs warriors.
The two-colored Ruin Spirit is probably at the bone refining level.
For example, the ruins spirits in the Dark Sun Ruins are generally black, but some of them have evolved into a second color, which is the color of one of the other eight ruins.
In this way, its strength will skyrocket.
For Xu Ling, possessing the colors of other regions is a super evolution that breaks free from the shackles.
The attack power of the three-color Xuling is about the same as Xisui, and so on, the four-color true blood, the five-color permeates the earth, the six-color reaches the sky...
The six-colored Ruin Spirit is the strongest Ruin Spirit ever recorded. In Jiuyang Ruins, there have never been Ruin Spirits with more than six colors.
Besides, even if it really happened, there would be no way that news of it would have leaked out.
If they encounter a six-color spirit, even a celestial warrior or a blue sky cultivator will flee. If they really encounter a seven-color spirit that doesn't exist...
There is no other choice but to wait for death.
Zhou Qing continued to walk forward, and the scene that came into view also changed.
The outermost area is basically flat, with occasional fallen dead trees and scattered rocks.
But after walking a little further, more scenery will appear.
The burning forest, the strange shapes, the miraculous rocks, the cracked earth, the dry riverbed...
"cracking!"
A sharp cry suddenly sounded in the sky, and then Zhou Qing saw a strange bird covered in black flames flying from a distance and swooping directly towards him.
The strange bird had sharp claws, six in total, but no feathers on its body. Instead, it had dog-like hair, and there were lumps on its body. It also had a snake tail behind it.
The bird has a sharp beak on its head, but at the very top is a red fleshy substance that looks like a cockscomb. Its eyes are actually like those of a snake, and when the bird's beak opens, a snake's tongue sticks out.
This thing has a weird style.
The strong wind was like a knife cutting. Feeling the momentum of the strange bird, Zhou Qing had a rough estimate of its strength.
When swooping down above Zhou Qing, the strange bird stretched out its sharp claws, trying to grab Zhou Qing into the sky.
Zhou Qing stomped heavily on the ground, like a ghost, and instantly dodged the air raid. Then he leaped up and grabbed the strange bird directly. He pulled it hard, causing it to become unstable and struggle wildly.
"Bang!"
In the end, Zhou Qing threw the strange bird to the ground.
“Boom!”
With another kick, Zhou Qing stepped directly on the neck of the strange bird, killing it instantly.
"A wild beast that has just entered the Bone Refining Stage dares to attack me."
It's really too outrageous! Although this strange bird looks strange, it is a wild beast after all, not a ghost.
It takes a lot of effort to kill a ruin spirit, but it is easy to kill a wild beast that has just started bone refining.
"Sir, this beast looks so weird." An Lang's voice rang out.
"The wild beasts in Jiuyang Ruins look like this."
Zhou Qing looked at the wild beast. Its appearance was really not flattering.
Why did he feel that this creature seemed to have been exposed to radiation...
From the Jiuyang Encyclopedia, we know that the native flesh and blood life forms in Jiuyang Ruins are basically weird in appearance and different from normal creatures.
According to previous speculation, this abnormal change was probably caused by the influence of the power of Jiuyang Ruins.
It’s actually roughly the same idea as what Zhou Qing was thinking about radiation.
Zhou Qing used his mental power to sense the strange bird, then took out a small Wubing knife that he had opened from a treasure chest last month and cut open a spot in the strange bird's abdomen.
A black bead was revealed and he took it out.
"Is this the Savage Beast Pearl that is a specialty of Jiuyangxu?"
Zhou Qing sensed it and found that the beast bead indeed contained a considerable fire power, as well as qi and blood power.
"It's a good thing, a good resource for cultivation."
Zhou Qing put the beast bead away.
The changes in the beasts of Jiuyang Ruins are not only reflected in their appearance, but also in their internal structure.
It is this kind of animal bead.
The normal beasts outside, except for a few special races, cannot give birth to something like "inner elixir".
But all the wild beasts in Jiuyangxu have beads in their bodies, which contain considerable energy and blood, as well as fire power.
The former is actually the essence of the beast's own flesh and blood, while the latter is caused by the beast staying in Jiuyang Ruins for many years and absorbing a large amount of fire energy here.
In Jiuyang City, beast beads are also a kind of hard currency. They can be sold for money or used as money.
But there is a price to pay for obtaining the beast beads from the wild beasts.
That is the corpse of the wild beast, which has become worthless.
The essence of the blood and flesh of the Xuman beasts are all in the beast beads. Even if you take their bodies out, no one will buy them.
This kind of flesh that has been mutated by the power of Jiuyangxu would be harmful to the human body if eaten.
According to Zhou Qing's understanding, it was like eating radioactive food...
If I don’t poison you, who else can I poison? So compared with normal beasts, the Ruins Beast has both gains and losses.
No matter what, at least something can be gained from the Xuman beast, but Xu Ling is really a miser.
Although normal wild beasts do not have beast beads, their flesh and blood are very tonic. After using them, they can replenish vitality, slowly strengthen the body, and strengthen qi and blood. The effect is similar to that of beast beads.
However, the beast beads take effect quickly but are more violent, while the wild beast's flesh and blood take effect slowly but are more gentle.
But if given a choice, most people would still choose the beast beads.
Quick results also mean more time to make progress.
However, Zhou Qing hesitated when he looked at the corpse of the strange bird on the ground.
Normally, this thing is not edible.
But he has a Kun clone this month, and the clone has a devouring talent...
According to the inheritance information brought by Kun's clone, except for a few things in the void that it cannot eat, it can digest everything else.
So, it seems like there is something to be done with this radioactive bird corpse?
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
After all, it is a Void Beast. The realm of Bone Refining can be compared with the realm of Marrow Cleansing with just the flesh, so there shouldn't be any problem, right? Besides, Zhou Qing believes that the environment of the Void must be more advanced and harsher than the Nine Yang Ruins.
He can come to Jiuyang Ruins but cannot go to the Void. This is the best example.
If you can make the best use of it, that would be the best.
However, there is one thing Zhou Qing is not sure about, that is, when Kun's clone devours something, whether his original body will feel it.
If the taste buds were synchronized, he thought it would be better not to eat it.
He didn't want to taste the strange bird.
So Zhou Qing first conducted an experiment and fed Kun's clone a kind of sweet-tasting medicinal herb.
Devouring talent, activated! After the herbs were swallowed, they entered the internal space of Kun's clone, and then were digested immediately. A small trace of energy merged into Kun's clone's body without causing any waves.
Zhou Qing's real body didn't feel anything either.
Zhou Qing's eyes lit up and he understood something.
"My clone uses the devouring talent to digest things. It doesn't really eat, but directly breaks them down and digests them. There will be no other feelings."
Whether it tastes bad or good, Kun's clone cannot feel it, only the difference is the amount of energy.
"Although I am in control of the clone, its feelings obviously cannot be transmitted to me."
Whether Kun's clone is injured or dying, all the feelings will only appear in that clone and will not affect Zhou Qing.
After realizing this, Zhou Qing felt relieved.
He cut off the monster bird's tail, roasted it, and fed it to Kun's clone.
Although he has no feeling about what he eats, it is still his clone after all, so he should try to eat cooked food if possible.
Even if you eat raw meat and drink blood, you can't do it in front of me.
The reason why only the tail was eaten was to see whether Kun's clone could ignore the impact of this radiation.
It is recorded in the Jiuyang Encyclopedia that if a small amount of blood and flesh is consumed from the Xuman Beast, one will feel extremely uncomfortable, and may even suffer from a disorder of one's true Qi and physical exhaustion.
But it will take some time to return to normal and will not cause death.
But if you eat too much, you will die immediately.
With the strength of Kun's clone, eating a tail would definitely be no problem.
Sure enough, after the beast tail entered the body's internal space, it was immediately digested, leaving no residue, and turned into energy and was absorbed.
The Kun clone showed no abnormality and treated the radiation as if it were nothing! Zhou Qing was delighted. It was indeed my clone. It was so strong!
He immediately roasted the entire bird corpse, and then the Kun clone grew larger and swallowed it in one gulp.
An Lang from the Ghost Residence was stunned when he saw this scene, and then he said in shock: "Master, do you want to die? You can eat this thing?"
Zhou Qing smiled and shook his head, "You don't understand."
The body of the strange bird was easily digested without causing any negative impact on Kun's clone.
Excellent, the Void Beast, it's awesome! Because Kun's clone can only exist for one month, Zhou Qing didn't plan to spend a lot of effort to cultivate it at first.
He fed it some treasures at all costs this month, but a month later the golden finger was refreshed and he lost a lot of money.
Anyway, once he leaves Jiuyang Ruins, he will most likely spend this month on the road.
It doesn’t matter whether you cultivate Kun’s clone or not.
But now that it can digest the flesh of the Xuman Beast, Zhou Qing naturally doesn't mind going with the flow.
If he doesn't give these beasts' bodies to Kun's clone to eat, he has no other use for them.
Make the most of all resources! After digesting the body of a Xuman beast, Kun's clone shrank again and returned to Zhou Qing's sleeve. It did not show any abnormality until Zhou Qing walked far away.
It can be seen that this kind of flesh and blood, which is extremely bad for ordinary people, is indeed of no harm to Kun's clone.
The golden finger is awesome.
He wants the beast beads, and he also wants the flesh and blood!
But Zhou Qing hadn't walked for long when he saw a black shadow floating in the distance.
It’s Xu Ling again!
It was still a black ruins spirit. Although it had strong vitality, it was obviously impossible for it to escape from Zhou Qing's hands.
But after killing this Xu Ling, Zhou Qing's brows were tightly furrowed.
The frequency with which he encounters Xu Ling is quite high.
Although he had only encountered the Ruin Spirit twice, which did not seem like a lot, but from the information given to him by Manager Li, some people might not necessarily encounter a Ruin Spirit even if they entered the Jiuyang Ruins several times.
The number of Xu Ling is very small compared with Xu wild beasts and other dangers.
Otherwise, if the Ruins Spirits were everywhere, who would dare to enter the Jiuyang Ruins given their difficulty and weirdness? An enemy that cannot be killed in a short period of time can easily drag you to death! It is precisely because of the small number that people outside have the opportunity to come in and take risks.
But he met two Xu Ling in a short period of time, which was undoubtedly very strange.
He encountered all the Xu Lings that others had encountered in a month, but now he encountered them all at once! This abnormality cast a shadow over Zhou Qing's heart.
I hope it's just my bad luck...
If it wasn't bad luck, then either something unexpected happened in Jiuyang Ruins, causing the number of ruins spirits to increase, or these ruins spirits were coming for Zhou Qing.
Whether it is the former or the latter, it is not good news, especially the latter...
"call!"
Suddenly, a blazing flame suddenly gushed out from the ground, right in front of Zhou Qing.
The temperature around him suddenly soared, forcing Zhou Qing to brake quickly and back away.
Looking at the sea of fire that suddenly burst into flames and blocked his way forward, Zhou Qing wiped his sweat.
It was almost roasted.
This is another type of danger in Jiuyang Ruins.
Natural disasters.
Compared with the Xu Spirit and Xu Barbarian Beast, this kind of danger is more bizarre and unpredictable, and it is difficult to guard against.
Whether it is mental perception or pupil skills, it is impossible to predict such danger in advance. The main purpose is to catch the enemy by surprise.
Moreover, this kind of danger is irregular and does not follow any rules.
The danger level of Jiuyang Ruins gradually increases from the outside to the inside, but the traps from Jiuyang Ruins itself do not necessarily follow this rule.
It is also possible that a "fire from the sky" will directly fall from the edge of the area, sweeping everything and burning everything to ashes.
It is really too unpredictable and unpredictable.
Such dangers are as annoying and undesirable as the Ruin Spirit.
Zhou Qing carefully avoided the sea of fire in front of him and continued to move forward.
Here, caution is the equipment to go out.
But after a while, Zhou Qing stopped again and his expression changed completely.
Another Xu Ling appeared in the sky, this time it was a two-colored Xu Ling, comparable to the Bone Refining Realm, and its vitality was only more tenacious.
The two-colored ruins spirits are not a big problem for him. They certainly cannot kill him. Anyone who dares to appear in front of him will die.
But this was the third Ruin Spirit he had met. Meeting them one after another, the meaning behind them chilled him to the bone.
Zhou Qing felt that there was a high probability that he was being targeted by Xu Ling.
Two colored spirits fell from the sky and headed straight towards him. Zhou Qing forced a smile on his face.
"Ask a question."
"What on earth do you monsters see in me?"
"Can I change my career?"
The Xu Ling didn't say anything, and the two-colored Xu Lings wouldn't speak either. They just wanted to occupy Zhou Qing's body.
Despicable!
