Miao Shu walked along, looking around cautiously, but never thought to look up.
However, since the slope is downward, even with a cat's eyesight, he could still see it if he looked directly at it, so Di Xiu chose a corner, where he was in a blind spot.
Di Xiu braced himself on both sides of the passage with his hands and legs, his back pressed against the top of the stone wall, waiting for Miao Shu to walk into his trap. 001 was also affected by the silence, shut his mouth, and started communicating through the mental channel.
"Three hundred meters to go... two hundred meters... one hundred meters... get ready, three, two, one."
The array plate suddenly emitted light, and Miao Shu instinctively cried out and turned to run, but crashed headfirst into an invisible wall.
He realized he had been ambushed and was furious. He was determined to find out who had tricked him this time. Just as he was about to turn around, he was suddenly struck as if by a club and flew out, crashing heavily against the stone wall. As the rubble fell, he passed out.
Di Xiu landed lightly, grabbed the cat by the neck and lifted it up. This awkward position made it difficult to maneuver, so he chose to continue forward rather than backward.
"I'm trapped in a living hell, I can't even die! What do you plan to do?"
"Literally. It's really strange that he can possess people so many times."
"It's quite strange. Possession is something that should be against the natural order, yet he wasn't struck by lightning."
Seeing that Di Xiu had started to make a move, 001 stopped talking and squatted in the corner to watch.
Miao Shu, a cat, was placed on a chopping board by a mermaid and left to be slaughtered by the fish.
Di Xiu pulled out a fruit knife with a scabbard, its blade gleaming from sharpening. He squatted down and began shaving the cat beneath him.
001 blinked, looking at the tailless yellow tabby cat revealing its white flesh, and couldn't help but want to laugh, but didn't ask. Anyway, her boss must be doing this because it was related to the mission.
"First, turn away, don't look, and don't listen."
001 made an OK sign with his finger, obediently turned around, and turned off the scanning and hearing systems.
Di Xiu chuckled silently, then lowered his head, his expression turning cold again. He frowned slightly and pointed the tip of his knife at Miao Shu's stomach.
Discarding cultivation is much simpler than cultivating; you can just take the demon core directly. But you might accidentally kill the demon while doing so.
Since Miao Shuruo hadn't taken his medicine, Di Xiu still needed to be careful and meticulous in keeping him alive. Now he could proceed with his plan without worry.
He cut open Miao Shu's belly, and the little kitten jumped up and was held down by him.
The tip of the knife probed inwards and encountered a hard object. With a flick, a bead that looked like a crack in ice was dug out.
Miao Shu was awakened by the pain, but just as he was about to open his eyes, Di Xiu turned the fruit knife and struck his head hard with the handle, forcing him into unconsciousness again. He then pieced his stomach back together, and it quickly scabbed over and healed.
The demon core flew out and rolled to the side, but Emperor Xiu ignored it. Instead, he kneaded along Miao Shu's spine, then pierced it again with the tip of his knife, cutting off a piece of bone.
The bone was like a piece of jade that had been polished; it was very smooth and shiny, with a faint glow. It looked extraordinary and was the demon bone of this cat demon's body.
All the bones of a demon can be called demon bones, but there is always one that is especially important. If a demon core is lost, one's cultivation level is reset to zero, but one can still cultivate again. However, if this demon bone is lost, the possibility of cultivation is completely cut off.
Di Xiu sheathed his sword and made a move to pick up the demon core.
Grayish-black mist emerged from the cat's body, coalescing into a human shape with clear features. It was a handsome middle-aged man, but his face looked sinister and his eyes were fierce.
Just as the main villain was about to pounce, his vision blurred, and then his gaze lifted upwards.
The young man grabbed him by the neck, threw him to the ground, raised an eyebrow, and a hint of mockery flashed in his cold eyes, as if to say: I've been waiting for you.
Pulling the spirit out of the cat's body was quite troublesome, so Di Xiu gave him the opportunity to escape or launch a sneak attack, which proved very effective.
The villain gritted his teeth, staring at his face, trying to etch it into his memory, but in the blink of an eye, he forgot it.
He knew this guy was hiding his face, but he couldn't see through his magic or even recognize him as the same person from before.
He tends to be alone because he is equally adept at ambushes.
His heart was filled with boundless hatred, and he roared in resentment, "I will definitely kill you! I will make you wish you were dead!"
Di Xiu replied very politely, "Oh."
The next second, the villain felt as if the spirit had been hit hard, and completely lost consciousness.
Di Xiu glanced in 001's direction, pinned the villain to the ground, dipped his hand in cat blood, and began drawing on the spirit's forehead while chanting obscure incantations.
Using the cat's blood, he drew runes all over the spirit, and as he finished the last stroke, the long incantation was also finished, and the spirit was instantly sucked into the cat's body.
He continued to draw symbols on the cat's body with blood, covering its entire body. At first glance, they all looked the same and dazzling, but upon closer inspection, there were subtle differences.
Symbols are things where even a slight error can lead to a huge mistake.
When he finished drawing, the blood-red runes on the cat's body disappeared beneath its skin.
Di Xiu then used his index and middle fingers as a brush, gathered spiritual energy as ink, drew a talisman on his palm, and slapped it onto the cat's heart. From then on, the villain was completely bound to this cat body.
Regardless of the reason why he can keep possessing other bodies, from now on, he can only stay in this body.
Di Xiu had no interest in Miao Shu's demon core. Its internal components were mixed and could easily make one sick if consumed. After crushing it with one foot, he informed 001 through his brain channel.
"That's fine."
001 turned his head and asked, "Is that all?"
Di Xiu lowered his head, rubbing the blood and grime on his fingers, and shook his head: "Half is still needed. First, check if there are any demons nearby."
"Why are you looking for monsters? Aren't mermaids easily corrupted?"
"Since the demonic energy doesn't directly enter the body, the impact is minimal. Don't forget their purification abilities."
001 thought for a moment and nodded: "Then I'll find someone weaker."
"good."
The area within a radius of ten kilometers is still quite large, and 001 quickly located one.
As 001 swam out of the waterway, he was worried that the villain might drown, but then he saw a bubble-like thing appear around the cat.
"What's this?"
"Water-repelling bead".
"The water-repelling bead must be quite large, how did it manage to swallow it with its cat's mouth?"
"...become a human and devour him."
001 paused, then let the tuft of hair on her head droop down.
Seeing this, Di Xiu found it somewhat amusing. After rubbing off the dried bloodstains on his hands, he pulled him and swam away.
The monsters in this world have a stench, making them quite easy to find. Knowing the general direction, Di Xiu quickly followed the smell and found a monster that was about to do something bad.
