Celestial being

After testing the spiritual roots, the "genius" boy with dual spiritual roots who called himself "Yi Guo" was personally taken by Elder Saren to the most majestic hall behind the square.

After that, the other two savages with three spiritual roots were also taken away. Only the seven with four spiritual roots, including Yuan Ming, were still led by the naked man Hu Za and left the Zhuling Palace.

After far away from this area, Huza suddenly took the initiative to talk to them:

"I know you all hate me now, but one day in the future, when you look back at what happened these days, you will feel grateful."

Several savages were shocked and looked at him eagerly. Although they understood what he said, no one dared to answer him.

"Is it because of the test just now?" Yuan Ming spoke for the first time in these days. What he said was the barbaric language of southern Xinjiang, but it was not unfamiliar at all.

"It turns out that you can understand our southern Xinjiang dialect, which is rare."

Hu Za was a little surprised and looked at Yuan Ming again, but continued to talk to himself:

"How many mortals dream of embarking on the path of cultivating immortals and seeking immortality, but they all suffer from the lack of any way. Although you were forced to come here, but being able to join our Biluo Cave can be considered a great blessing for you. If one day, you can move mountains and seas. , when you are calling for wind and rain, don’t forget me as the guide.”

Huza grinned and pointed at himself with his thumb.

Hearing this, the savages looked at each other, but some of them actually thanked Huza.

Southern Xinjiang originally advocates strength and respects absolute strength. If there is an opportunity to embark on the path of being strong, it is really rare.

"What do you mean by the furry beast slave you mentioned earlier?" Yuan Ming asked again at this time.

Hearing this, Hu Zha was stunned again. It seemed that he did not expect that the Central Plains man in front of him had been paying attention to the conversation between him and Elder Saren.

"I have long heard that the people of the Central Plains are cunning, but now I see that they are more clever than us in southern Xinjiang. However, let me remind you that being too smart here may not be a good thing." Huza looked cold and scolded .

After that, he seemed to have lost interest in continuing to talk to Yuan Ming and others, and led them all the way west.

On the way, Yuan Ming turned a blind eye to the unkind or doubtful looks cast by others from time to time, but was silently pondering the information revealed by Hu Zha earlier in his heart.

Becoming a furry beast slave doesn't sound like a good thing, otherwise Huza wouldn't be reluctant to say more, but it seems that there shouldn't be any danger to his life in the short term.

As for the so-called embarking on the path of cultivating immortality, I don't know if it is just such a bluffing statement. Although he couldn't remember many things, he still understood what it meant to become an immortal.

Now he can only take one step at a time and continue to save his life before talking about other things.

About half an hour later, Yuan Ming and other seven people, led by Hu Za, arrived at a remote area. From a distance, they saw a tall stone wall that stretched for dozens of miles. The door of the stone wall was made of bronze and looked extremely heavy.

In the open space inside the gate, several fortress buildings were built.

When Huza was passing by with everyone, a man dressed similarly to Huza suddenly walked out of the fortress. After chatting with Huza for a few words, he let them pass.

For some reason, Yuan Ming always felt that the man's eyes looked at them with mixed emotions of pity and sarcasm.

After exiting the bronze gate, there is a dense primitive mountain forest.

Huge and towering trees are densely distributed, each tree is a giant tree hugged by two or three people. The huge tree crowns are intertwined, and there are occasional gaps that can let in the sunlight. The ground below is covered with low bushes.

In the mist-covered mountain forest, a path weaves through the bushes and extends to the end of the field of vision.

When Yuan Ming stepped into the forest, he felt that the temperature around him had dropped slightly. There were sounds of birds chirping and insects all around him, and his nose was filled with the special smell of moist soil and plants.

The expressions of the few savages beside them became more relaxed after entering the forest, as if they had returned to their homes. On the other hand, Hu Za, who was taking the lead, looked a little more nervous.

The roars of beasts that came from far away from time to time would always make him quickly turn his head to look around.

Along the way, no one told them what they were going to do, and no one dared to ask, but Yuan Ming had vaguely guessed that this place was unlikely to be a place for cultivating immortals.

After walking along the path in the forest for half an hour, an open space appeared in front of us. In the center stood a blue and black boulder several feet high, with a series of dark red southern Xinjiang characters engraved on the rough texture.

"One hundred thousand mountains." Yuan Ming recited it silently in his heart.

At this time, he noticed that beside the huge green and black stone, a tall man in gray robe stood with his back to them and his hands behind his back.

Hearing the movement, the tall man turned around slowly. He was a middle-aged man with a serious face and straight features. His thick eyebrows were slightly frowned and his eyes were a little cold.

"Elder Huhuo, this is the new batch of furry beast slaves, I brought them here for you." After seeing this person, Huza looked slightly nervous and said.

"Okay." The middle-aged man known as Elder Huhuo nodded.

"Then I'll go back and take my life first." Huza replied, then turned and left.

After they left, Elder Huhuo glanced at Yuan Ming and others casually, with an indifferent expression. His eyes were like looking at a few trees or a few stones, without any emotion.

After looking at it, he raised his hand and patted a palm-sized purple bag hanging on his waist, and an inconspicuous glimmer of light emitted from the bag.

Immediately afterwards, ancient monster skins of different shapes appeared out of thin air in the hands of Elder Huhuo.

Yuan Ming rubbed his eyes, not seeing clearly how these things were created.

The savages were all dumbfounded, thinking it was a miracle.

Yuan Ming put away his thoughts and took a closer look, and found that inside the animal skins, there were cheetahs with dark fur, wild wolves with cyan hair, wild boars with mixed manes, gray old apes, and mixed brown ones. Bears, tigers with colorful fur, and even a green hairless rhinoceros hide.

The reason why he was able to recognize these furs at a glance was because although the furs were only on half of the body, they were all peeled off along with the skull and face. Among them, the tusks and horns of the wild boar and rhinoceros were completely preserved.

Elder Huhuo walked behind a few people and put the animal skins on their heads one by one. Half of the furs hung down from behind them, as if they were wearing a short cloak with a hood. .

The gray old ape's fur was put on Yuan Ming's head. The skin on his face was close to the white ape's flesh, making it slightly itchy. He could also smell a faint fishy smell in his nose, but it was not smelly. , but it doesn’t smell good either.

Then, the elder Huhuo patted the bag on his waist again, and seven brown leather bags appeared out of thin air in his hand, with a strange blood-red pattern drawn on them.

"In the next three days, you have to cross this boundary monument and spend it in the forest behind. During this period, you must hunt a beast such as a jackal, tiger, and leopard alone, and pour the animal's blood into this animal skin bag. Come back." Elder Huhuo said.

As he spoke, he threw the animal skin bag in front of them.

"Is this a test to become a furry beast slave?" Yuan Ming cursed in his heart.

At this time, he noticed that the expressions of the other savages had changed. They seemed a little reluctant, a little embarrassed, and a little afraid.

"In three days, as long as you can successfully complete it, you will be able to obtain a basic training method, the blood and energy method." Elder Huhuo continued.

At this time, a savage said tremblingly: "Elder, can you give us some tools, even a stone ax or a stone knife."

With their mortal bodies, it is too difficult to survive in this vast forest without the help of external objects, let alone hunting wild beasts and collecting their blood. If they don't do it well, they may be buried in the belly of the beast.

"Tools? Huh... you can't use them." Elder Huhuo chuckled and said.

Before everyone could understand what this meant, his figure suddenly flashed in front of them and raised his hand to press on one of them.

As a green light lit up in his palm, the man suddenly let out a miserable roar, scaring the other people to retreat.

I saw that the man held down by Elder Huhuo had a black light shining on the black panther skin, and the hairs suddenly stood up. The skin, which was originally only half the length of his body, seemed to have come alive. It continued to extend and become longer, and moved toward the person to cover the package.

Yuan Ming looked at him and saw that the man's eyes were blood red, and dense bloodshot eyes could be seen inside. His mouth was wide open, and the saliva at the corners of his mouth was flowing uncontrollably. The sounds in his throat were also gradually changing, getting more and more... It sounded less like a human voice and closer to the roar of a beast.

This process lasted for more than ten breaths. When the man's roar stopped, the black panther skin had wrapped him tightly, as if it had grown on his body.

The man's face also changed into that of a panther, but the whole body still maintained the human skeleton. It looked like a weird half-human, half-animal look with the head of a leopard and the body of a leopard.

After the transformation was completed, his body immediately fell to the ground, and his temperament seemed to have become closer to that of a beast. However, his eyes did not turn into beasts. The blood-red color faded a bit and became a bit more human.

"Don't worry, this is the art of fur-covering, and it is what you can rely on to survive and hunt wild beasts in the next three days." Elder Huhuo said, and walked towards the second person.

As his palm fell on the man, a shrill roar echoed through the forest again.

Ten breaths later, a monster with the head of a wolf and body covered in long green hair appeared in front of everyone.

Although he had seen it once before, Yuan Ming still felt quite shocked. It was incredible that he could turn into such a terrifying monster just by wearing an animal skin.

Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, the situation forced him to do so. If he dared to resist even a little bit, I believe that Elder Huhuo would never be merciful, and he might just slap himself to death.

While thinking about it, Elder Huhuo came to him in one step, and then his palm fell on his shoulder.
