After leaving the No. 9 secret camp, Chu Tian and his party ran through the mountains and forests overnight.
He finally understood what the so-called ghost den looked like.
Villages were burned to the ground, towns were completely destroyed, and cities and their walls were burned to the ground.
Whether it was a village, a town, or a city, all the places in the once densely populated area of Qizhou were filled with headless corpses whose bodies were shriveled and emaciated, and whose blood and vitality had been completely drained away.
The heads of all the corpses were chopped off using the same secret method that Chu Tian had seen by the Lantao River.
In just one day, Chu Tian and his team passed through more than 20 villages and a small town that was originally quite large. They saw more than 500,000 corpses, 500,000 skin-and-bones corpses that looked like skeletons, exposed in the open air without any cover.
Chu Tian also saw groups of wild dogs roaming around.
When these wild dogs, which were also starving to the point of being skin and bones, came across the corpses exposed in the wild, they would randomly gnaw on the dead people's arms and legs, and then spit out the rotten bone fragments in their mouths with disgust.
The secret techniques of the Heavenly Ghost Cultists were extremely vicious. All the essence and blood, all the nutrients of these corpses were drained by the secret techniques. Inside the shriveled entities, there was nothing but a handful of bone residue that was no different from stone and sand.
Even the wild dogs, whose eyes turned green from hunger, were too lazy to fill their stomachs with these dead people.
"Ah Gou!" Chu Tian suddenly stopped when he passed by a mess of corpses lying on the ground again, stretching for more than ten miles. It was obvious that they were chased and hacked to death in the wilderness.
He looked at the hundreds of wild wolves roaming among the corpses in front of him, howling continuously, and shouted sternly: "Agou, do you still remember the talent you boasted to me when you were a child, and I forbad you to use it again after I taught you a lesson?"
Along the way, the atmosphere in Chu Tian's small team was extremely tense. Everyone's face was tense, and each one looked gloomy like a dead person. Suddenly hearing Chu Tian's words, Agou was stunned and hit his head with his fist.
"Brother Tian? You mean that?"
"Use it! From today on, until we kill all the Heavenly Ghost Cultists and all the foreign evil ghosts, I allow you to do whatever you want!" Chu Tian gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Back then, I didn't allow you to use it because I was afraid that you would be envied and stabbed in the back. But now, haha!"
Ah Gou nodded and said in a muffled voice: "My brother Gou is never afraid of being stabbed. But it would be better if we don't have to!"
Aque and others looked at Chu Tian and Agou curiously. They really didn't know that there was such a little secret between Chu Tian and Agou.
What talents and abilities does Agou have that they don’t know about?
You know, they are brothers who have been crawling together in the mud since they were little, even before they had clothes on!
"Brother Tian, you didn't even tell me about the good news!" Aque shrugged a little jealously and hummed a few times in a strange voice.
"Watch it, and then tell me if it's a good thing!" Chu Tian sighed deeply, turned around, and patted Ah Que's shoulder vigorously: "If people knew that Ah Gou had such a skill, I guess our brothers' bones would have been burned as firewood long ago."
Agou put down his weapon and dropped all the man-made objects on his body.
He walked naked towards the pack of hundreds of wolves with big strides. As he walked, he let out a deep howl from his throat, like the howl of wolves showing goodwill and intimacy to each other.
The wolves were watching Agou warily, but when they heard Agou's howl, they froze for a moment and hesitantly walked towards Agou. The leader of the pack came to Agou, sniffed him, and the leader, who was as big as a bull, immediately lay down in front of Agou.
Agou laughed "woooo", he bit his finger and dripped a drop of his blood into the wolf's mouth.
A dark evil spirit surged out from Ah Gou's palm, and with a low wolf howl, it quickly injected into the body of the wolf leader. The wolf leader's body suddenly stiffened, and then twitched violently, and a red light flashed in his eyes.
The muscles of the leader wolf were wriggling violently, and every strand of its long hair stood straight up.
More than a hundred big men stared in amazement as the gigantic wolf leader slowly stood up. Its body changed and squirmed, and it actually turned into a walking 'werewolf'!
Its, or rather 'his' scarlet eyes were still filled with savagery and chaotic animality, but occasionally a red light flickered, and a ray of wisdom, the light of wisdom unique to high-level life force, was faintly visible.
The leader of this pack of wild wolves has transformed from a complete beast into a "wolf demon"!
Even though the demonic energy in his body was so weak, almost insignificant, and his true strength had only increased by less than 10% compared to before, his life form had indeed undergone a drastic change.
From beasts to monsters.
A trace of demonic energy from Agou directly granted the wolf leader an evolutionary result that might take him decades or even hundreds of years to complete.
"Come here, boys!" Ah Gou's face flushed with excitement, his body trembling uncontrollably: "Come on, boys, let's all become monsters. Haha, monsters, monsters, we are all monsters!"
Chu Tian's head felt slightly heavy. The Rat Lord who had been missing for the past two days appeared out from somewhere and lay on his scalp again.
Biting the tip of his thin tail tightly, Master Shu looked at Ah Gou with a hint of confusion: "Ah? You guys have kept it a secret from Master Shu! It's strange, this guy is just a half-demon, he is just a half-demon hybrid, how could he use the innate ability of a purebred royal monster to directly transform his own beast into a monster?"
The thin tail whipped Chu Tian's face twice, and Master Rat muttered to himself: "Even your Tiger father only awakened this ability after he cultivated to the half-step saint position and his blood was purified to the extreme by the demonic power!"
"If your Tiger Father hadn't awakened his 'demonization' talent, even with the talent of that stupid big guy Hu Dali, he would have had to practice hard for at least hundreds of years to transform from a tiger cub crawling on all fours to the human form he has now!"
As soon as Master Shu finished speaking, Hu Dali and Black Snake rushed over from the wilderness with a dozen of their followers.
They stared at Agou in a daze, watching Agou call the wild wolves to his side, continuously dripping blood into the wolves' mouths, and then injecting a dark evil spirit into them. Then the wild wolves stood up one after another, and turned directly from wild beasts into wolf monsters.
When Agou was still enjoying himself, there were already five or six hundred wolf monsters standing in the wilderness.
Led by the leader wolf, these wolf demons knelt down before Agou one after another, and each of them raised their necks and let out long wolf howls.
Chu Tian smiled: "Very good, now, let's go find an unlucky guy."
