The Secret Way of Immortality

The mountain goats retreated back into the forest, leaving behind only a ground full of corpses and the scavenging birds they attracted.

The prison guards were stunned and didn't even react in time.

But even if they had been aware, they wouldn't have dared to pursue rashly; the situation was too simple, making it seem unbelievable.

The prison guards ate some dry rations to replenish their strength, after all, this was just the beginning.

Only Ren Qing flung out his Dragon-Snake Spine, snatching a mountain goat and dragging it onto the city wall.

Through the Heavenly Demon Dream Seed, he could sense a faint Heavenly Demon aura distributed in the air, probably emitted by the black mountain goat within the city.

After the mountain goat approached the Heavenly Demon aura, it transformed into a Goat-man within a few breaths.

With this trend, as the black mountain goat devoured more and more remnants of the Heavenly Demon's soul, the Heavenly Demon aura in the air would naturally become richer.

Making it so that even if the Goat-men were in the forest, they could undergo continuous mutation.

Lin Cheng was startled by Ren Qing's act of capturing a Goat-man alive.

Ren Qing didn't hesitate to dismember the Goat-man into eight pieces, then carefully observed it, wanting to catch a glimpse of the beast pen from the corpse.

Lin Cheng's scalp tingled, he just assumed Ren Qing was very interested in corpses.

On the other hand, the surrounding prison guards didn't take it to heart, after all, the prison guards who could be imprisoned in the stomach within a stomach, how many hadn't once mutated and lost control.

It was normal for them to have strange and eccentric personalities.

Ren Qing watched as the Goat-man, even with only its head remaining, continued to make noises and tried to drag itself towards the city wall with its tongue.

They were extremely eager for the Heavenly Demon aura.

Ren Qing squatted down, examining the dismembered corpse of the Goat-man with a serious expression.

"Lin Cheng, are those Goat-men gathered in the forest?"

Lin Cheng said, spitting out blood-red saliva, "Lord Ren, they are indeed hiding in the forest in piles, and may be distributed in a dozen locations."

Ren Qing nodded and didn't continue to ask questions, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

First of all, the beasts were indeed eroded by the Heavenly Demon aura and transformed into Goat-men, and the flesh and bones in their bodies had mutated to varying degrees.

The beast's brain had become a circle larger than a fist, so it possessed enough wisdom to assess the situation and choose to retreat.

What made him feel strangest was that the goat head could still survive even after being cut off, and even had the strength to climb towards the black mountain goat.

It probably meant that the Goat-men were starting to focus on their souls, and their bodies were becoming less and less important.

Ren Qing then threw the corpse into the Flesh and Blood Furnace, and then felt it wasn't safe enough, so he simply collected all the flesh and blood under the city wall.

However, because the Heavenly Demon aura content in the corpse was too low, after being burned by the Flesh and Blood Furnace, he could only get corpse food, not Heavenly Demon bones.

At the same time, the movement in the Grand Duke Forest was deafening.

The black mountain goat's voice had become somewhat morbid, and looking from a distance, its figure seemed to have undergone inexplicable distortion.

Ren Qing withdrew his attention and said to Lin Cheng, who looked nervous, "You are responsible for using spells to sense the movements of the beasts in the forest, and wake me up immediately if anything happens."

Ren Qing couldn't release his split soul to investigate.

No matter how thin the Heavenly Demon aura was, the prison guards had to rely on the skull artifact to resist it, how could the split soul bear it.

Lin Cheng quickly nodded and said, "Okay, Lord Ren."

Ren Qing closed his eyes tightly.

He put his mind in his body, and a large number of corpses were thrown into the Flesh and Blood Furnace, causing the fire to become more intense.

The burning of flesh and blood gradually nourished the Tinder Dream Seed, and the contained traces of Heavenly Demon aura were slowly absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Dream Seed.

Ren Qing could feel that according to the different Dream Seeds, the power displayed after being attached to other people's souls would also be different.

It was a pity that the magic weapon was only being cultivated now, and it was easy to damage if released.

It was more than enough to use it for soul protection.

"Lord Ren..."

Lin Cheng gently woke Ren Qing, then pointed his finger at the forest.

Unknowingly, it was already late at night, and no bonfire had been lit on the city wall.

After all, the prison guards were all in the Ghost Envoy Realm, and simple night vision was not a big problem.

I saw that there was a fire in the distant forest, and I could vaguely hear the sound of goats mixed in, which seemed a bit inexplicable.

"The number of Goat-men has been maintained at around seven or eight hundred. Although beasts continue to join, they... seem to be consuming internally."

Lin Cheng's tone was slightly hesitant, he really couldn't figure out the situation.

The beast attack suddenly stopped for most of the day, and Jiang Feng's message learned that more than twenty strange infants had merged with each other.

Can't it always be so calm?

Before the thought lasted too long, when the white line lit up on the horizon, the Goat-men began to gather and rush towards the city wall.

But after they drilled out of the grass, the prison guards looked at each other.

I saw that the Goat-men had become larger, and were wearing animal skins and holding weapons made of stones.

The most surprising thing was that there were several Goat-men mixed in, wearing bone ornaments on their heads and holding scepters made of beast leg bones.

These Goat-men were somewhat similar to the sorceresses in mountain villages who mastered crude medical skills.

The voices of the Goat-men were different in tone, and they obviously had a unique way of communicating, and even felt the tactics of attacking the city.

An incredible thought arose in Ren Qing's mind, could it be that under the shroud of the Heavenly Demon aura, a different kind of civilization would gradually develop?

The prison guards saw that the Goat-men were more than two meters tall, and they all transformed into beasts and jumped down, choosing to fight in close quarters with their flesh.

Ren Qing stood on the city wall, and didn't even need to release the Dragon-Snake Spine, the ghost shadows were enough for the Goat-men to drink a pot.

Within a few breaths, the city wall where he was located had already suffered more than a hundred casualties.

Seeing this, the Goat-men decisively gave up, and blew the sound with simple horns, choosing to concentrate their numbers and rush to the rest of the city walls.

They weren't afraid, looking at the fanaticism in their eyes, they knew they weren't afraid of death, but their intelligence made the Goat-men understand how to assess the situation.

Ren Qing cut open the corpse of the Goat-man, and the brain had reached the level of a normal person.

Why does the Heavenly Demon aura cause different results when facing humans and beasts? The former is mutation and destruction, while the latter is rebirth?

Roar!!

Yan Feng, a half-man, half-rhinoceros, roared, his arms were like two siege hammers, and Goat-men kept flying out as he waved them.

Under the stimulation of the beast's instinct, he seemed to be immersed in the desire to kill, and his body gradually began to move away from the city wall.

Even if Yan Feng was aware, he still didn't intend to retreat.

He was questioning Li Tiangang's words in his heart. They were clearly just livestock with no power to fight back, so where did the danger come from.

Yan Feng grinned and grabbed a seemingly slender Goat-man dressed as a sorceress, and crushed his head into pieces.

This act angered the rest of the Goat-men, and they all launched suicide attacks.

When Yan Feng saw this, he was about to withdraw his hand, but he felt a chill rushing towards his head along his flesh and blood, and his body couldn't help but stiffen.

The Goat-men screamed, and they immediately exploded into minced meat, and the flesh and blood on the ground began to spread to Yan Feng's body.

Yan Feng tried his best to tear the flesh and blood apart, but his body's movements became slower and slower, and his appearance gradually turned into a black mountain goat.

The prison guards rushed to support him, but Yan Feng was too deep.

Seeing that it was about to be too late, Ren Qing didn't hesitate to take action, his legs were covered by ghost shadows and he disappeared on the city wall in an instant.

He then came to the Goat-men, and the Dragon-Snake Spine extended from his palm.

"Bend over!!!"

The prison guards were shocked by the aura exuded by Ren Qing, and they lay down on the ground without hesitation, a narrow chain passing over their scalps.

Although the Dragon-Snake Spine can be transformed into reality and illusion, Ren Qing also felt it was troublesome.

The Dragon-Snake Spine drew a beautiful arc, and it was taken back in the blink of an eye, and the Goat-men within a few tens of meters nearby stood still in place.

Fresh blood slowly seeped out from their chests and abdomens, forming a red line.

The prison guards were deeply afraid, as if death had brushed past them.

They subconsciously returned to their human form, and when they looked up again, the Goat-men had been broken into two pieces, and the incision was extremely neat.

It can be seen how sharp the Dragon-Snake Spine is.

But even if only the remaining body was left, the Goat-men were still alive, and after uttering fanatic cries, they all turned into minced meat and exploded into the sky.

Ren Qing didn't dodge, the Dragon-Snake Spine entangled Yan Feng, and directly tore off the flesh and blood forcibly.

Yan Feng was covered in blood, and black-gray fluff had grown on his skin, indicating that he was almost completely eroded by the mutation in a few breaths.

He quickly retreated to the city wall.

The Heavenly Demon aura gathered together and poured towards Ren Qing who was standing in the center.

The wind was mixed with miserable screams, as if it was filled with bone-chilling hatred.

Crack crack crack.

Ren Qing's skull magic weapon took the lead and couldn't hold on and was damaged, and even the surrounding prison guards had varying degrees of damage to their souls even if they were only affected.

What made them most afraid was that strange goat cries kept echoing in their minds.

The blood mist obscured their vision.

The prison guards didn't care about Ren Qing, and quickly moved away from the place where the Heavenly Demon aura broke out, for fear of causing uncontrollable mutations.

Lin Cheng jumped off the city wall and ran towards Ren Qing.

Yan Feng also gritted his teeth and turned back.

But before the two of them could get close, they found a figure looming in the blood mist, and a spot of light was flickering between his eyebrows.

The Heavenly Demon aura seemed to have dissipated, but in fact it was absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Dream Seed.

Seeing this, the prison guards couldn't help but be surprised. In their opinion, Ren Qing actually had spells to resist soul attacks.

The Goat-men had already begun to retreat, and Ren Qing didn't intend to keep his hands anymore.

The Dragon-Snake Spine swung quickly, surrounding the city wall like a sickle harvesting rice, causing a large number of Goat-men to be cut in half.

They continued to shout, without exception choosing to transform their souls into Heavenly Demon aura, but they also fell into Ren Qing's trap.

Ren Qing didn't even let go of the corpses, the Flesh and Blood Furnace turned into a raging fire, and the Tinder Dream Seed received a lot of nourishment.

However, the Flesh and Blood Furnace and the Dream Seed have both reached saturation.

Because of Ren Qing, the prison guards seemed to have confidence.

Their cooperation also became more tacit, and they mainly used long-range spells, trying not to touch the Heavenly Demon aura.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was not on him, Ren Qing escaped into the forest and ran towards the place where the Goat-men gathered.

Soon he approached the location Lin Cheng had previously pointed to.

The scene in front of him surprised him, he saw that the Goat-men had formed a village similar to a tribe, and worshiped the black Goat-men as gods.

There are probably not a few such tribes, and they have gradually begun to develop in scale.

Moreover, Ren Qing discovered that as the Heavenly Demon aura in the air became more and more intense, the Goat-men were constantly transforming.

Is the Heavenly Demon aura so terrifying that it can allow creatures to increase their intelligence...

Ren Qing suddenly remembered what kind of existence the Supreme Heavenly Demon was, it was constructed from countless consciousnesses.

So the Goat-men should be gradually recovering their memories from the Heavenly Demon aura.

They can't be killed.
