Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

Ten years later

Chen Jiuge stood on the city wall of No. 1 Pioneer City, looking from afar at the city that once belonged to the Thunder God Temple but was now occupied by the Five Elements Sect, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Abandon the Five Elements Sect's city and occupy the Thunder God Temple's city? What kind of operation is this?"

Chen Jiuge really didn't understand. The Five Elements Sect's pioneer city was the city they were most familiar with, and they had the highest control over the formation and the strongest appeal.

Why would they choose to occupy the city of Thunder God Temple to defend their invasion? During this period, they also have to guard against the counterattack of Thunder God Temple. This is obviously a thankless task!
"City Lord."

Black Shepherd came flying in the air in a hurry.

"Hei Mu? Why are you here? Shouldn't you help Xiao Hong defend against the cultivators from the Puppet Sect?" Chen Jiuge asked in surprise.

Hei Mu calmed down and said anxiously: "City Lord, something happened over there!"

"The Puppet Sect is attacking us?"

“No, all the cultivators of the Puppet Sect are dead!” Hei Mu said with horror in his eyes.

"Dead? How is that possible?"

Chen Jiuge looked incredulous. Not to mention whether Zi Nu had the ability to destroy the entire Puppet Sect, the direction she and Li Sheng left in was no longer the area where the Puppet Sect was located.

"It was those ghosts in the underworld who did it!"

"Ghosts from the underworld?" Chen Jiuge was stunned for a moment. He indeed hadn't seen any ghosts from the underworld during this period of time.

Because the strength of the underworld ghosts in the Golden Desert was not very good to begin with, and the monks had already figured out ways to deal with the ghosts, Chen Jiuge thought that these ghosts had been completely eliminated. He didn't expect that he would be hit by such a big surprise now!

"I'll go with you to take a look!"

The former Puppet Sect developed the main city.

The faint Yin energy turned into cold mist and flowed in the air. In the dark corners, there was also condensed Yin energy.

"call"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Jiuge frowned and said, "This breath really feels like a ghost from the underworld!"

"But how many ghosts and monsters are needed to wipe out the entire Puppet Sect in one fell swoop without even making a big noise?"

Chen Jiuge couldn't understand it. In this golden desert where even the power of the Golden Immortal could not appear, it was impossible for himself and Li Sheng, who possessed the most precious treasure, to achieve this level!

"Are individual ghosts so powerful?"

With a hint of confusion, Chen Jiuge continued walking on the street, trying to find some clues.

"City Lord, come and take a look!" Xiao Hong, who was scouting in another direction, suddenly transmitted a message.

After a while, Chen Jiuge and Xiao Hong squatted in a street corner, with strange expressions on their faces.

"How did you find this thing?" Chen Jiuge asked curiously.

Xiao Hong smiled awkwardly and said, "I just leaned here for a while, then I heard a rustling sound, and then I saw this!"

"hehe."

The silvery-white liquid continued to flow on the ground, forming a line of large characters.

"The ghosts have changed, run away!"

These liquids are extremely precious golden fairy minerals - Star Water!
Not only is it extremely difficult to destroy, it also has extremely strong repair capabilities. It can also carry the thoughts of cultivators and leave some special signals.

The line of large characters formed by the stars and flowing water in front of him was obviously a warning issued by the Puppet Sect cultivator when he discovered that something was wrong with the ghosts. However, perhaps because he was in too much of a hurry, he did not have time to explain the specific matters and could only leave behind this simple line of text.

"Maybe, the ghosts didn't disappear, but were collected by the Puppet Sect." A guess emerged in Chen Jiuge's mind.

The Puppet Sect used these ghosts to do some secret things, but an accident occurred during the process, which recently broke out and subsequently led to the death of all the monks in the Puppet Sect, and they were unable to even leave behind some information.

"But why does the Puppet Sect collect ghosts and monsters? Aren't their puppets all made of spiritual ores?" Xiao Hong asked in confusion.

"Maybe the Puppet Sect wants to create puppet life!" Chen Jiuge thought of a possibility!
If one wants to create life in the heavenly realm, one only needs to reach the first level of Tao, which is enough to be a true immortal in the real world. However, in the real world, creating life is too difficult for a true immortal to accomplish.

Even the Golden Immortal can only create some simple life forms. In fact, this kind of life form cannot be considered a complete life because it has no ability to reproduce, and it is very likely that its mind is very weak!
"Creating life?" Xiao Hong asked in surprise.

"Well, even though the Puppet Sect is so prosperous now, it should have reached its peak. When it comes to puppet refining, even those holy places dare not say that they are stronger than the Puppet Sect!"

"To put it bluntly, puppets are cannon fodder. Sooner or later, their weaknesses will be discovered, even for those carefully crafted puppets. If the Puppet Sect does not make changes, its decline is only a matter of time. Any cultivator with a bit of vision can see that!"

"The ghosts may have given the Puppet Sect a glimmer of hope, but it seems that they have failed!" Chen Jiuge shook his head slightly.

"City Lord, we have discovered something!" Hei Mu's voice was filled with a hint of disbelief and fear.

A huge pit appeared at the original location of the City Lord's Mansion, and Hei Mu's body was covered in clearly visible black blood.

"What's going on?" Xiao Hong asked.

Hei Mu showed a bitter smile on his face: "Just now I led people into the City Lord's Mansion to check the situation and see if there are any clues. I don't know what mechanism was touched, and the City Lord's Mansion collapsed, and this pit appeared."

"in."

Shaking his head, Hei Mu didn't know how to describe it: "City Lord, you should take a look yourself. There shouldn't be any danger, but the things inside are a bit horrifying."

"Oh, then I'll go check it out!"

"bang"

A sturdy Zhu Yan was the first to land at the bottom of the pit, a trace of boredom showing on his rough face. Zhu Yan really didn't like this gloomy environment.

After shaking off his big feet that were stained with something unknown, Zhu Yan's eyes flashed with a golden light. After looking around carefully, he said dully, "There is no danger."

Chen Jiuge, who was standing at the edge of the pit, heard Zhu Yan's voice and then slowly fell to the bottom of the pit.

"bang"

A bright torch appeared in his hand. Chen Jiuge's eyes narrowed. He squatted down, dipped his finger in the black liquid on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Is this ghost blood?"

"Isn't this number a bit too exaggerated?"

Ghosts also have blood, but the total amount of a ghost's blood is only about one-tenth of a human's blood. And the wide corridor in front of us is covered with ghost blood.

This amount of ghost blood would at least kill tens of thousands of ghosts!

Walking on the sticky ghost blood avenue, Chen Jiuge and Zhu Yan walked all the way to the end of the corridor. What came into view were extremely narrow cages, which were only big enough to accommodate a child of about ten years old at most.

"Ok?"

Passing by the empty cage, Chen Jiuge suddenly saw a horn with a dark sheen in a corner. The horn was not big, only about ten centimeters long, with a trace of dark flesh underneath.

"This should be the horn of the shadow ghost!"

Ghosts have appeared for so many years that the monks have naturally given them names so that they can deal with them effectively when they encounter them.

The Shadow Ghost's abilities are pretty good among ghosts. It has a single horn, and the ability of this horn is a bit like the shadow manipulation technique in Naruto. Once a cultivator is stared at by the invisible light emitted from its horn, he will be unable to move. It is one of the more difficult ghosts.

"Master, here!"

Zhu Yan, who had taken a step ahead, suddenly let out a cry of surprise!
Chen Jiuge walked quickly forward and came to the secret room where Zhu Yan was.

What comes into view is a large number of torture instruments. Just by looking at their hideous shapes you can tell what effects these instruments have on the people being tortured.

The torture instrument was covered with dark coagulated blood. With a little force, one could break off pieces of solid blood.

Pushing open the small door in the corner of the secret room, it was filled with corpses of monks. These corpses were extremely skinny, and some even had a lot of flesh and blood eaten away, leaving only a particularly miserable small half of the body.

On the dark small bed lay the disemboweled body of a shadow ghost. Next to it was another body lying on its back on the ground, holding a piece of jade tightly in its hands.

Pulling out the precious silk, Chen Jiuge began to flip through it.

"On the first day, after a lot of ghost tests, it was found that ghosts have the same senses as humans, but relatively speaking, ghosts' senses are duller, or more subtle!"

"On the seventh day, I made a very important discovery. Some ghosts with solidified souls can merge with some immortal weapons and become the weapon spirits of the immortal weapons. However, this can only happen when the ghosts are in extreme pain!"

"This is difficult to do. The ghosts' senses are too dull. But fortunately, not all ghosts are like this. Shadow Ghost is one of the outliers. I believe there are more ghosts that are different. I need a lot of ghosts!"

What is recorded in the jade and silk next is the test content of a large number of ghost senses, and pain is the most convenient and fastest way.

Chen Jiuge couldn't help feeling nauseous after seeing the records of various torture tests. If he really saw it with his own eyes, Chen Jiuge felt that he would most likely vomit. It was really too cruel!

Later, Chen Jiuge discovered that he could no longer see the contents of the jade silk. It should have been recorded using the Puppet Sect’s secret method. The information inside should be very important and probably could not be shown to outsiders.

It was not until the last few pages that new text appeared.

"Something's wrong. It's very wrong. These ghosts were clearly obedient during the previous test, but why do I feel like there's something wrong with the way they look at me now?"

"Wait, these puppets, these ghost puppets, they look at me in a very strange way."

"Yes, yes, they want to kill me, hahaha, but this is impossible. The cores of these spiritual puppets are under my control. They are just the spirits of the puppets!"

"But this kind of look is really unpleasant. It seems that I have to strengthen the spiritual training of ghosts and monsters. I must make them obedient!"

Less than a year later, the contents recorded above began to undergo tremendous changes.

"I was wrong. Although there are many types of ghosts, their essence is the same. They actually have similar cognition among themselves."

"For the sake of the Puppet Sect and my wife and children in the city, I can only choose to completely block this place. I made such a great sacrifice, and yet someone still blames me!"

"Hahaha, I really want to kill them, these rubbish, these rubbish."

After hundreds of words of strange mumbling, Yu Bo came to the last page.

"What have I done? I actually killed all my fellow disciples and sucked their blood like a ghost!"

"I'm probably going to die. I have a big guess. Ghosts may not be able to be killed. The ghosts we killed are not dead, but have returned to the underworld. It just takes time to verify this."

"Later comers, I have left a warning in the city. If you come here, please beware of ghosts. They are not as fragile as we see!"

"Finally, please be careful of the ghost puppets. They have great malice towards humans and they only want to kill!"

Seeing the end, Chen Jiuge felt a little cold: "Ghosts can't die?"

Shaking his head, Chen Jiuge said in a low voice, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. If ghosts and monsters really can't be killed, then why haven't those ghosts and monsters appeared in all these years?"

“Perhaps what we need to pay attention to now is escaping from the ghost puppet that is the culprit behind all this!”

"I don't know what the spiritual puppets mentioned above are. After combining with ghosts and monsters, they can actually directly destroy all the cities of the Puppet Sect. Isn't this strength too exaggerated?"

"Forget it. Besides, there shouldn't be anything important here. Let's keep it for now!"

In the lush forest, colorful birds fly freely among the treetops, and the clear bird calls echo in the air.

In such a vibrant place, there are three humanoid monsters that don't fit in!

"Crackling"

The broken pieces of armor rustled as three warriors in armor, covered in blood, sat cross-legged under a towering tree.

"槑, what should we do next?" The black armor made a iron-blooded voice.

The silver-white armored warrior seemed to be in a daze and did not answer.

The blue armor on the side let out a ghostly laugh: "What? Of course, keep killing!"

The strange laughter seemed to wake up the dazed 槑.

"Death, don't be anxious, take your time!"

The dead man in blue armor had a red glow in his eyes, and the armor on his body kept trembling: "Don't be anxious, 涼, have you forgotten the wailing of our people?"

"Wang, that's not what I meant!" Liang held down Wang's trembling body and said in a low voice.

"Liang, what do you mean?" Wang said dissatisfiedly.

"Why should we listen to you? You are the strongest. Let's go together and kill people so that humans can also feel the pain of losing their loved ones, right?"

"Whatever!" He spread his hands indifferently.

Liang put a little force on Wang's shoulder and made a sound of teeth aching: "Wang, I hope you won't say such things in the future. Now the three of us are the real tribesmen!"

"If we go back like this, do you think our people in the underworld will still recognize us?"

Wang's body relaxed, and the light in his eyes dimmed: "Probably not."

"Then listen to her. She has the best brain among us. You have to trust her!"

"Okay, then what do you think we should do next?"

He raised his silver-white helmet and stretched out his slender silver-white palm. The sunlight falling through the gaps in the dense tree canopy sparkled in his palm!
"What a beautiful world! Shouldn't we experience the life of a monk in the real world?"

"Huh?" Wang and Liang showed surprised expressions at the same time. Could they and others experience the life of cultivators in the real world?

Mei said softly: "Isn't there a kind of immortal weapon called Daoqi in the real world? Maybe we can also be Daoqi!" (End of this chapter)
