1376 The temptation of life (1)
The dark clouds and lightning in the sky were so obvious that they could be seen even from a long distance. Therefore, the cultivators of the corpse race who came to investigate found the target without any effort.
However, when they approached the center of the withered forest, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
As far as the eye could see, the center of the withered forest was filled with wolves. A large number of trees were broken and thrown out, as if they had been swept away by a terrifying force.
However, a large number of undead creatures had gathered in such a place. They were three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding the center of the mutation.
The weaker creatures were squeezed out, while the stronger ones were only close to the center. There was a clear hierarchy between them.
As for the center, there were a few huge ferocious beasts that were the size of a car. Because they were in the way, it was impossible to see the situation at the center of the mutation from a distance.
Seeing this scene, the corpse race cultivators were sure that the change must have happened in the center of the encirclement of the giant beasts!
In order to figure out the cause of the mutation, the corpse race cultivators had to go to the center!
“Everyone, be careful. These beasts are very fierce. They’ve gone down the mountain several times to wreak havoc, but they’ve always managed to escape capture.
At the same time, these giant beasts have a strong sense of territory. If we get close, we may anger them. Everyone, be prepared for battle.”
kill them! the leader of the corpse race reminded his companions. Then, he drew out a sharp long blade and walked toward the beasts.
The other corpse cultivators nodded and took out their weapons as well. They formed battle formations and moved forward.
Just as the corpse race cultivators approached the beasts, the beasts seemed to sense them and turned around to look.
It was also this careless glance that struck the slowly approaching corpse race cultivators as if they were struck by lightning.
After being stunned for a few seconds, they looked at each other, their eyes full of shock.
did you guys see those beast heads? ”
“Yingluo saw it!”
since you all saw it, it proves that our eyes are not playing tricks on us. These beasts have all undergone a mutation!
The leading corpse race cultivator’s voice trembled and his eyes were filled with fanaticism. The scene just now had filled his heart with motivation.
The faces of the beasts at the center of the mutation had regained their flesh and blood. Compared to their rotten and withered bodies, the contrast between the two was obvious!
This situation meant that the power of vitality had indeed appeared, and it was precisely because they had absorbed vitality that these ferocious beasts had such shocking changes!
If he could absorb this life force, he would be able to relieve the pain in his body and even improve his cultivation!
In the corpse race’s world, items that contained vitality could be called heavenly treasures. Not only were they rare, but they also had magical effects. Not only could they reduce the pain of the soul and body, but they could also make a breakthrough in their cultivation!
The power of vitality was rare, but now that it had surrendered, how could he miss it so easily!
At the thought of this, the corpse race cultivators didn’t hesitate any longer and charged towards the center of the change like lightning.
Ordinary creatures were naturally no match for the corpse race cultivators, and even the corpse wolves couldn’t stop them. The only ones that could bring danger were these giant beasts.
However, if these beasts tried to stop them from obtaining the life force, the corpse race cultivators would kill them without hesitation.
How could he waste such precious life force on a few beasts? this was an unforgivable sin!
In the blink of an eye, the corpse race cultivators had already rushed behind the huge beast and launched a fatal attack.
“Aooo!”
Feeling that their belongings were being violated, the few giant beasts roared and turned around to attack the corpse race cultivators.
Their huge size gave them terrifying strength. Even a slight wave of their sharp claws was enough to smash a large pit in the ground.
Sand and stones flew everywhere the giant beast pa.s.sed.
They clearly understood the value of this life force, so they were merciless when they attacked, determined to kill all the compet.i.tors!
The weaker wild beasts also joined in, as if these corpse race cultivators were irreconcilable enemies. Even if they would only be sending themselves to death if they rushed up, they still launched wave after wave of attacks without fear of death.
The surroundings of the dimensional portal were immediately filled with the howls of the ferocious beasts and the roars of the corpse race cultivators. Both sides were locked in a fierce battle, and the ground was covered with broken pieces of corpses and dirty blood.
The battle lasted for half an hour, and only a few corpse race cultivators survived. At this time, their bodies were covered with terrible wounds.
If it weren’t for the undead creatures ‘characteristics, just the terrifying acc.u.mulation of damage alone would be enough to kill them more than a dozen times!
They didn’t have time to care about their fallen comrades. Several corpse race cultivators dragged their incomplete bodies and walked toward the radiant plane channel with intoxicated expressions.
As the distance between them closed, the bodies of these corpse race cultivators began to mutate. The wounds on their bodies began to recover, and their ferocious and withered faces became plumper!
This change happened extremely quickly. When they walked in front of the plane’s channel, they could no longer see the original characteristics of the corpse race, but had become a kind of creature that was 70% similar to humans.
Although it still looked ferocious, it was much more pleasing to the eye compared to its original appearance.
Feeling the life force continuously seeping into their bodies, the few corpse race cultivators completely forgot about returning to the city to report the results of their investigation. Instead, they directly sat down cross-legged and let themselves absorb as much life force as possible.
In just a short period of time, they had already felt the bottleneck loosening. The origin aura from the other world was like a treasure with magical power that could give them the opportunity to step into a higher realm!
After a long time, the few corpse race cultivators opened their eyes at the same time, and their eyes flickered with divine light.
Compared to when they had first arrived, their auras were clearly more powerful, and their appearances had undergone a complete transformation.
This was the original appearance of the corpse race. After being nourished by the life force, these corpse race cultivators had completely returned to normal.
“The situation here has been investigated. Should we report this to the city Lord immediately?”
The leading corpse race cultivator looked at the plane channel with reluctance.
“Captain, with our current state, I’m afraid we’ll be locked up when we go back. If we don’t handle it well, we might even lose our lives.”
One of the corpse race cultivators said in a deep voice. The joy and intoxication from before were gone from his face, replaced by worry.
The other cultivators from the corpse race also nodded with heavy expressions.
In the corpse race’s world, the power of vitality was undoubtedly the most precious thing. If the plane’s channel in front of them was a huge treasure, then the few survivors were undoubtedly people with great treasures.
In order to obtain their life force, someone would definitely kill them and refine their flesh and blood into medicine for consumption.
That was why they would definitely die once they returned!
“If that’s the case, then we’ll just take it as we’re dead. From now on, we’ll hide our names, and before we refine the life force in our bodies, we can’t be discovered by anyone!”
The leading cultivator took a deep breath and nodded to the corpse race cultivators. He then stepped into the withered forest and disappeared in an instant.
The rest of the corpse cultivators looked at each other and said goodbye to each other. Then, they also ran in different directions and disappeared.
