Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 77 Forest and Sea
"Lone Ranger?"

Many teams have taken notice of Lin Feng.

To dare to venture alone into another world is either an idiot courting death, or a sign of exceptional skill and daring.

This is especially true for archers.

In the early stages, archers were mostly hunters, requiring not only archery skills but also reconnaissance and trap-setting techniques.

They are mainly used as support characters and are not strong in combat, so very few dare to venture into another world alone.

"What's your skill level? Do you want to join the team?"

Lin Feng remained calm, showing none of the curiosity or trepidation of a novice, but rather the composure of a seasoned veteran who had roamed this strange world for many years.

In addition, his expensive war bow equipment attracted a lot of attention.

Several teams have extended invitations to him.

However, upon learning that Lin Feng only possessed the strength of the eighth level of body cultivation, they immediately retracted their words.

Lin Feng didn't care about this.

The world before him had not changed much from what he remembered.

Lin Feng looked up and saw two suns hanging high in the sky, very close together, as if they were about to melt into each other.

This is the biggest difference between the other world and the human world.

Two suns—it's a sight to behold for anyone seeing it for the first time.

Because there are two suns, the temperature in this other world is hotter than the outside world.

As we entered the mountains along a forest path, the temperature began to drop, and the scenery suddenly changed. All sorts of ancient trees in various shapes and sizes came into view, like sharp swords piercing the sky. The branches of the trees intertwined, and the lush foliage stretched out, completely obscuring the sky.

Senhai!

The scene before me is exactly as the name of this portal suggests.

Each doorway offers a different view.

Some are primeval forests, some are plains, some are deserts, and some are boundless seas.
Senhai, a sea of ​​forests, is filled with ancient trees and exotic flowers and fruits.

The scene before you appears peaceful and serene, but as you delve deeper, the scattered bones and clothing on the ground become increasingly shocking.

Some of the skeletons were snow-white, while others were yellowish; some were from demonic beasts, while others were from humans.

"Hurry up and start applying the insect repellent cream. Be careful of poisonous insects."

A five-person adventure team was heading in the same direction as Lin Feng. The team leader was a young man dressed in a yellow martial arts outfit. After giving his teammates a heads-up, he gave Lin Feng a strange look.

No matter how you look at it, Lin Feng is not very old, but the way he drives so skillfully makes him seem like a seasoned driver.

"Want to go together, friends?"

Xie Bing asked casually.

Their team was a standard five-person adventure party, consisting of two strong warriors, one agile warrior, one shield warrior, and one thief. It would be even better if they had an archer.

"also."

Lin Feng glanced at the team members but did not refuse.

"Walking together" doesn't mean inviting him to join the team; it simply means that since we're heading in the same direction, we can travel together and look out for each other.

"What's your name? My name is Xie Bing. We're both first-grade martial artists, second-year students at Tianxing University. We just happened to be free this afternoon, so we came here to earn some extra money!" Xie Bing said.

"My name is Feng Lin."

Lin Feng made up a name on the spot.

As for Tianxing University, Lin Feng was no stranger to it; it was a key martial arts university in Jiangcheng.

Although it is not as good as the nine elite joint schools, it is much better than ordinary martial arts universities.

Xie Bing and his team, who were only sophomores, were still first-grade martial artists with average talent.

A true genius should already be a second-rank martial artist.

Some exceptional geniuses may even reach the third rank.

Xie Bing did not elaborate on whether he was a demon spirit master.

For demon spirit masters, the demon spirits they refine and their skills are secrets.

Unless they are teammates, they generally won't easily reveal their identities, especially to strangers in another world.

"Feng Lin, are you a college student too? You dare to come to another world all by yourself?"

Xie Bing's gaze lingered on Lin Feng's face, but due to the hat covering his face, she couldn't see his specific features clearly, only vaguely feeling that he was somewhat familiar.
He was a little puzzled. Why play mysterious games in another world?
"No, I'm just wandering around."

"Walking around?"

Xie Bing's expression was somewhat stiff, and she was speechless.

You think this other world is some kind of city park or scenic area?
weirdo?
Xie Bing muttered something to himself. He could tell that the other party didn't intend to say anything more, so he wisely stopped exchanging pleasantries.

"This insect repellent cream really smells awful."

The team members began applying the ointment, and although they complained, everyone obediently applied it.

Although a first-rank martial artist can possess a body with spiritual power, due to the limited amount of spiritual power, they can only possess parts of the body. For example, they can possess the arms with spiritual power to increase their attack power, or the legs with spiritual power to increase their speed.

Spiritual energy possession causes a continuous depletion of the spiritual energy within a martial artist's body.

Generally speaking, martial artists only choose to imbue themselves with spiritual power during combat.

The inability to possess one's body with spiritual power also means that the poisonous insects in the forest are even more terrifying than the ferocious monsters.

The forest is filled with weeds, shrubs, and large trees.

You have no idea whether a venomous snake is lurking in the dense jungle or in the trees, ready to ambush you.

Venomous snakes and insects are usually very small, and in secluded environments, they are difficult for a martial artist to spot with just their eyes. Moreover, venomous snakes are very fast, and if bitten, their terrifying venom can quickly knock a person unconscious or kill them.

Insect repellent creams can only repel some annoying mosquitoes and insects; they are ineffective against real poisons.

Sure enough, the team was attacked by venomous snakes shortly afterward.

As they passed through a thicket of weeds that were at least half a meter tall, a long, dark shadow slid silently past. If it weren't for the slight swaying of the weeds, it would have been impossible to spot!
The group stopped and carefully watched their footsteps. After a short while, the grass rustled slightly, and a dark shadow shot towards Xie Bing. It was so fast that only a black line could be seen in the air.

"Watch out, at three o'clock!"

Xie Bing shouted as he stepped forward, and in a flash, he grabbed the head of the dark shadow.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a venomous snake as thick as a chopstick. Its triangular head constantly flicked its blood-red tongue, sending chills down one's spine. Its jet-black body was covered with brightly colored pale red patterns, clearly indicating that it was a deadly venomous snake.

At this moment, under Xie Bing's control, the snake's head was firmly stuck, its long body twisted into a knot, emitting a chilling hissing sound, and drops of viscous green venom were seeping from the four sharp, barbed teeth in its mouth.

"Black-lined snake."

Upon seeing the snake's appearance, the surrounding team members were startled.

The black-striped snake is a wild animal, not a monster, but even so, it is extremely venomous.

If bitten, the deadly venom will instantly enter the bloodstream, and without taking an antidote in time, death is certain.

"It's a good time to replenish my energy; I've been feeling a bit weak these past few days."

Xie Bing grabbed the head and tail of the black snake with both hands and pulled hard. The snake, which had been broken into two pieces, was still dancing in his hands, its vitality was terrifying.

He tilted his head back slightly, and the sweet, pungent snake blood immediately flooded his mouth. At the same time, his fingers, like steel hooks, sliced ​​open the snake's belly, dug out a thumb-sized, dark green snake gall, and casually tossed it into his mouth and swallowed it.

Snake blood and snake gall are extremely nourishing. As soon as the snake blood enters the stomach, the rich blood and energy immediately surge through the limbs and bones.

Not long after drinking it, Xie Bing felt a slight fever all over his body, and the body tempering effect was excellent. However, although the snake blood was effective, none of his teammates, including him, wanted to encounter it.

These poisonous creatures are even more terrifying than monsters.

Along the way, the team's progress was slowed down by the harassment and attacks from these venomous snakes and insects.

As the group moved slowly forward, a venomous snake, about the thickness of a little finger, was coiled up on a lush tree. Its body was emerald green, hidden among the leaves, and its natural camouflage made it difficult to spot.

"call out!"

As a warrior named Ye Xuan passed by, the green venomous snake shot towards him like lightning.

It was so fast that it was hard for anyone to react.

No one in the squad noticed.

When Ye Xuan felt a pain in his neck, he realized that he had been bitten by a venomous snake.

In just ten seconds, his face began to turn black, and he felt weak all over, almost collapsing to the ground. Ye Xuan quickly took an antidote pill and it took him a while to recover. Even so, almost every half hour, someone would be attacked by a venomous snake or insect, but fortunately, they all carried antidotes and were unharmed.

Strangely, all the team members were attacked by venomous snakes along the way, but one person traveling with them remained unharmed and was never attacked.

That person is Lin Feng!
He had prepared five antidote pills, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't need them at all.

At first, no one noticed, but soon, this anomaly began to arouse suspicion.

"Young man, you don't seem to have encountered any poisonous snakes or insects. What good stuff did you apply? You should share your good stuff!"

Ye Xuan asked curiously, and then leaned forward to smell Lin Feng's scent.

"Yeah, you weren't attacked at all the way. You're so lucky."

Xie Lingling, the only female member of the team, also asked curiously.

She was attacked twice by poisonous insects and snakes along the way, as were her other companions.

There are too many poisonous insects and snakes in this mountain range, yet Lin Feng has never been attacked, which is very abnormal.

"I just applied insect repellent cream, maybe I was just lucky."

Lin Feng smiled.

He was also puzzled, wondering if his journey had been far too smooth.
Once, he saw a black-striped snake hanging on a tree branch in front of him. He wanted to grab it to nourish his body, but before he could make a move, the black-striped snake had disappeared.

It's as if it's afraid of something?
Seeing that Lin Feng didn't seem to be lying, Xie Bing and the others couldn't think of any other reason, so they could only smile and say, "What good luck!" and then continue on their way.

On the edge of the Senhai Mountains, everything was relatively calm. However, as they ventured deeper, Awen, who was scouting ahead with a dagger in hand, suddenly stopped, sniffed the air, and quickly ran towards the center of the group.

"Be careful, there's the smell of wild boars fifty meters away. It's a herd of wild boars, probably around twelve of them."

Awen reminded him that, as a thief, his main task was to scout ahead and investigate.

"Is it a sensory-type demon spirit that has been refined?"

Lin Feng guessed, glancing at Awen.

This Ah Wen is not tall, about 1.65 meters, and looks somewhat thin, but his eyes are bright and lively. He holds a dagger in his hand and carries a short knife on his back. He wears a light green wooden armor and moves as slowly and silently as a cat.

Fifty meters away, with visibility blocked by dense jungle, one can distinguish what kind of wild animal it is and how many there are simply by smell. This sense of smell far exceeds the limits of humans, and it is most likely the ability of a demon spirit.

It's not surprising that Awen didn't transform into a demon.

By refining demon spirits, one can acquire their innate abilities.

This innate ability can be perfectly utilized in the demon transformation state.

Even without the demonic transformation, his innate abilities can still be used, but the effect is not good. With Awen's current strength, he can probably only utilize about 10% of them.

Of course, as the spirit grows stronger, its effects will gradually become more powerful.

If one breaks through to the Spirit King level, even without undergoing demon transformation, one can still unleash 30-40% of the innate abilities of a demon spirit.

If one breaks through to the extraordinary level without transforming into a demon, one can unleash about 50% of their power.

With Ah Wen possessed by a demon, his sense of smell should be able to exceed 300 meters, and his perception ability is definitely stronger.

However, the demon transformation state consumes a lot of soul power, and he has not yet truly entered the core area of ​​the forest sea. In order to maintain the best state, he has not yet transformed into a demon.

"Return to your units, step back."

Seeing Awen's actions and prompts, Xie Bing began to give instructions, and the group quickly moved closer together and then retreated.

When the prey is unpredictable, retreating is the best option.

Roar!
A loud squeal rang out. Although the team spotted them in time, the 11 wild boars still managed to see the humans in front of them.

These are all adult wild boars, their robust bodies brimming with formidable strength. A tuft of bristles, about half a foot long and resembling steel needles, grows along their backs.

Most terrifying of all, directly above the heads of these wild boars, there is a white, sharp, spiraling spike about half a meter long, which gleams with a cold, icy light under the sun.

"It's a one-horned wild boar, not dangerous at all. Everyone spread out and hunt it!"

Xie Bing shouted and gave the order.

The one-horned boar is a common monster found on the outskirts of the mountains. It is a first-tier monster with immense strength, and its main attack method relies on its half-meter-long horn.

Although the team didn't speak, they were all experienced and each lured away a wild boar, while Lin Feng also lured away one.

No one intended to help. If they couldn't even kill the one-horned boar, they might as well leave the group to avoid losing their lives and dragging others down with them.

Lin Feng calmly watched the charging unicorn beast. The ferocious aura and shockwave of its approaching charge made him narrow his eyes slightly. Then, he planted his right foot on the ground, rotated slightly, and suddenly turned to the side to dodge.

In the instant he dodged, a silver-white dagger appeared in Lin Feng's right hand without him even noticing, and thrust forward with a whooshing sound.

The dagger attack came so suddenly and so quickly.

Even the ever-cautious one-horned boar didn't react to this sudden change. Its bloodshot eyes bulged, and its short but extremely strong hind legs instinctively bent down, as if it were about to escape.

Its instinctive reaction is extremely fast; it can escape using its strong hind legs in less than a second.

However, the arm not only accurately seized that brief second, but also slightly tilted the dagger just as the boar's hind hooves bent down. A blinding ray of sunlight flashed, and the one-horned boar suddenly closed its eyes, its body pausing, completely losing any hope of escape.

"laugh!"

Amidst the splattering blood, the one-horned boar didn't even have time to open its eyes and take one last look at the deep blue sky before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

On its throat, there was a deep wound that exposed bone, from which warm blood flowed continuously. Not long after, its limbs trembled a couple of times before it stopped moving.

The moment the unicorn boar fell to the ground, a fair arm swept across the ground in an arc, and the dagger had vanished without a trace.

Lin Feng's performance unsurprisingly drew everyone's attention.

His impressive dagger skills, in particular, seemed somewhat like he was just showing off.

The unicorn boar was only a first-tier demon beast, and although it was not very strong, they could not end the battle so easily.

"Wow, that was amazing! So clean and efficient!"

"No wonder he dared to come to this other world alone; his speed is even faster than the captain's!"

"He's an archer, so why do I feel like he's more of an assassin?"

"Tsk tsk, I thought he was a newbie, but he turned out to be a veteran!"

Lin Feng paid no attention to the discussions around him.

Not long after the one-horned boar died, a fist-sized, grayish-brown ball of light emerged from where the boar's head had been. It looked like a miniature version of the boar. As soon as the ball of light appeared, it instinctively tried to run away, but Lin Feng grabbed it.

Before long, the herd of one-horned boars was killed by the group. Everyone seemed relaxed, except for one person who was unexpectedly slightly injured.

Before the smell of blood could spread, the team members skillfully stepped forward, took out their daggers, and began to quickly dissect the body.

Like humans, demonic beasts evolve by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The most valuable things about demonic beasts are their demonic spirit and demonic core.

However, only king-level demon beasts possess demon cores, which are the essence of the entire demon beast and have the effect of tempering the body and improving physique.

The most valuable part of the one-horned wild boar, besides its flesh and blood, is its horn, which is more than half a meter long.

This unicorn horn is exceptionally hard and sharp, and can be made into weapons; one horn is worth approximately three thousand Singapore dollars.

"Feng Lin, the one-horned boar you hunted belongs to you."

Xie Bing came to Lin Feng's side and said something.

In this other world, the spoils of war obtained by the temporarily formed adventure team are distributed immediately according to the pre-arranged rules.

Because it was a temporary group, trust had not yet been established. In addition, there were unpredictable dangers that could arise at any time in the forest. If they were not assigned immediately, they could easily get separated from the team and end up with nothing.

This herd of one-horned boars consisted of 11 boars. Although Lin Feng finished the battle the fastest, he didn't want to fight over them, so he only killed one and obtained one horn.

"And that's how three thousand Singapore dollars came about."

Lin Feng sighed inwardly as he tied the unicorn and the package together.

Three thousand Singapore dollars, equivalent to a month's salary for a mother, was earned so easily. No wonder those martial artists flocked to the other world despite knowing it was dangerous.

This doesn't even include demonic spirits.

Of course, Lin Feng also understood that the dangers of the other world had only just begun. The visible dangers were not scary; what was scary were the eyes hidden in the shadows.

After taking the unicorn horn, the team ignored the unicorn meat.

A pound of wild boar meat can sell for over a hundred yuan, and the lightest one weighs two hundred pounds, which is twenty thousand yuan, much more expensive than a unicorn. However, the meat is too heavy, making it difficult for a team to carry.

After a quick pack-up, the team set off again.
