I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Chapter 214: Evil Infant
Under Zhang Yuan's gaze, the body of the strange and rough man shrank rapidly.

Finally it turned into an object resembling a baby.

Its skin was jet black in color, and one could barely make out its head and torso. Its arms were tightly wrapped around its legs, and it was curled up into a ball very tightly.

This is a demon body, also known as a demon baby.

After the monster takes over the body of a living being, once death occurs, it will turn into ashes in a very short time.

No corpses left.

According to Taoism, this is the result of the strange evil spirit dissipating after death.

The talisman that Zhang Yuan had just slapped on the body of the strange and rough man is called the Evil-Condensing Talisman.

The function of this Taoist talisman is to prevent the loss of strange evil spirits.

And make it condense and solidify!

Therefore, any living being possessed by a strange spirit will have a evil talisman affixed to it immediately when it dies.

An evil baby will condense.

The evil baby is of no use to warriors, but it is an important material used by Taoists to refine magical weapons!

It is said that there is no upper limit to the Taoist's demand for evil spirits.

So when Zhang Yuan received his equipment in the outer hall, he also received two free evil-condensing talismans.

I didn't expect it would come in handy.

His mission today was to come to Qiujiazhuang to investigate the strange incident.

As a result, Zhang Yuan not only killed the strange creature, but also obtained the evil baby, which meant that he had completed the task in excess.

One stroke of Taoist skills will surely get you started!
He turned around and went back outside the courtyard gate, took off the saddle bag hanging on the saddle, and called the small dog beside him.

Enter Qiu Laowu's house again.

The greyhound sniffed around the yard vigilantly, making a whining sound in its throat and wagging its tail at Zhang Yuan.

It apparently discovered nothing new.

Zhang Yuan patted the dog's head and picked up the evil baby on the ground.

This evil baby was about a foot long, felt heavy in the hand, and exuded an indescribable evil aura.

Zhang Yuan stuffed it into his pocket and hung it on his waist.

Then he walked into the main room.

The greyhound followed closely behind.

The room was in chaos, with large amounts of dark red blood splattered on the floor, walls and tables.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Zhang Yuan entered the inner room again and saw three bodies lying on the ground.

Three badly mutilated corpses!
Although Zhang Yuan had seen similar situations before, such a tragic scene still made him feel heavy-hearted.

The most horrible thing is that the weird things hurt people. The victims are often in a terrible state, being tortured, trampled, killed, and eaten...

There is no humanity at all!

The most miserable thing is that people are possessed by strange spirits.

For example, the burly man who was just killed by Zhang Yuan was most likely Qiu Laowu himself.

The limbs it devoured might belong to Qiu Laowu’s wife and children, or even to his parents!
It is said that some people still retain some consciousness after their bodies are possessed by a mysterious entity.

Then watch "yourself" kill relatives and loved ones.

The pain cannot be described in words.

But I like some weird ones the most!
Wang Wang!

Suddenly, the small dog following Zhang Yuan started barking loudly at the wooden bed in the room.

But no intention to attack was shown.

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and he immediately leaned over to look under the bed.

Then a cradle was grabbed!
Inside the bamboo cradle, there lay a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

The baby is fair and tender, about three or four months old, with two big black eyes that are innocent.

What makes people feel uneasy is that he actually has a severed finger in his mouth!
The baby sucked hard, and bloody saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions churning in his heart.

He reached out and took the severed finger out of the baby's mouth.

"Wow~"

The baby burst into tears. Zhang Yuan shook his head and picked up the cradle.

He came to the door again and shouted in a deep voice: "Village Chief Qiu!"

Qiu Sande quickly came over with a few villagers.

The village chief of Qiujiazhuang asked tremblingly, "Sir, where is Qiu Laowu's house?"

"The strange one has been killed by me."

Zhang Yuan replied: "But he is the only one left alive in Qiu Laowu's family!"

As he said this, he handed the cradle in his arms to the other person.

A villager nearby quickly took it and said in a lost voice: "This is Lao Wu's son!"

Qiu Sande couldn't help but burst into tears: "What a sin~"

Most people in Qiujiazhuang have the same surname, and they are all related. Qiu Laowu usually calls him uncle.

I didn't expect to suffer such a misfortune!
"I'll leave this child to you."

Zhang Yuan said: "Raise him up well and don't mistreat him."

Qiu Sande quickly wiped the tears from his eyes and promised: "As long as I have something to eat, he won't be left hungry!"

"Ah."

Zhang Yuan nodded, took out a banknote from his arms and stuffed it into the baby's swaddling clothes: "It's a small token of my appreciation."

This child has some connection with him.

Qiu Sande shook his hands in fear: "No, this is not possible!"

The guardian who came to the Heavenly King Palace to slay demons and eliminate evil, common people like him can only try their best to curry favor with him.

How can I let Zhang Yuan pay for it?

Zhang Yuan was too lazy to waste time talking to the other party, so he mounted his horse and rode away.

Qiu Sande and a group of villagers were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zhang Yuan flew all the way back to the ruins city, and then went to the Heavenly King Palace to hand in the task.

When he arrived at the outer hall, he first returned the blue horse, the greyhound, the harrier, and an unused evil-condensing talisman.

The Evil-Condensing Talisman is not a cheap talisman, and the Heavenly King Palace is not generous enough to give it away for free.

It was just that Zhang Yuan only received two rations during his first external protection mission.

But just like hawks, dogs and horses, they are only on loan temporarily and need to be returned!

If Zhang Yuan doesn’t come out.

There must be an explanation for that.

According to Zhang Yuan, it was naturally the evil baby placed on the table!
When Chen Daoren, who was in charge of recording the merits, saw the spoils Zhang Yuan brought, he was shocked.

He looked at Zhang Yuan in disbelief and asked, "Is this the strange thing that happened in Qiujiazhuang?"

The strange events in Qiujiazhuang were of a very low level, so they were assigned to Zhang Yuan, the new outer palace guardian.

As the latter's first training mission.

And this task was exactly what Taoist Chen had assigned to Zhang Yuan earlier.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan not only completed the task quickly, but also brought back such a big evil baby!

Taoist Chen realized it immediately.

The outer hall seriously underestimated the weirdness that appeared in Qiujiazhuang.

Because the higher the level of weirdness, the bigger and heavier the evil baby condensed will be!
The evil baby that Zhang Yuan brought back could not possibly be of ordinary weird origin.

"Yes."

Zhang Yuan replied: "Any questions?"

"This is a big problem!"

Taoist Chen gave a bitter smile.

He called the Taoist boy to bring a beam scale and weighed the evil baby himself.

"Eleven catties, seven ounces, and three cents."

Taoist Chen's gaze shifted from Libra to Zhang Yuan's face, his expression was quite complicated.

"Sixth-grade evil infant!"
