In the frigid lands, after my exile, I began to slay demons and monsters.

Chapter 245 Head Mask

These were the monster corpses she had collected during the previous trials. She had originally planned to use them as bait for Jian Xingyun and the others, but things didn't go well, so she lost interest in letting them train and simply left them in her spatial storage. Luckily, the air inside was stagnant; otherwise, she wouldn't have kept them in their bloody state.

The giant lizard's corpse only replenished the blood vessels in the ankle area; it wasn't enough.

Next, Ning Xiaoxi threw the corpses in one by one, regardless of size or breed, as long as they had enough blood. She kept throwing until her hands were sore, and finally the blood vessels on those fat feet were complete.

"Boom!"

Once the bloodline is complete, even the sound of the heartbeat is different.

Ning Xiaoxi threw the sand fox back into her spatial storage and stared intently at the flesh-and-blood body.

The phantom pounced into Dreamweaver's body from behind the moment the bloodline was completed. The phantom and the body overlapped and then began to merge.

"Thud!" The jade cabbage was squeezed out of its body and fell to the ground.

After the black mist was completely absorbed, Meng Zhiteng's body fell down. Apart from a transparent hole in her chest where the jade cabbage had fallen, she looked exactly the same as when she first emerged.

Ning Xiaoxi's mouth dropped open. Such a large coffin full of black blood and so much demonic energy, yet there wasn't a single change.

The smile on his chubby face was obvious, and combined with his big belly, it gave Ning Xiaoxi a feeling that harmony brings wealth.

【Dumplings, dumplings!】

[A living soul has entered the body; the individual possesses human attributes, not demonic.] Tuanzi's appearance this time was very timely.

[Phew!] Ning Xiaoxi let out a long breath. [So, in other words, as long as a human soul enters a body, regardless of what that body is, it will still be human?]

It's not impossible for you to say it that way.

[Is it okay or not?]

【Can. 】

Ning Xiaoxi's eyes lit up. Such a good thing? Could the strategist do the same? But then she thought, wait a minute, what about Jiuying shrinking inside Tianji's body?

[Tuanzi, does that mean that human bodies are also considered to have human attributes by default?]

Tuanzi shut up. Tuanzi didn't speak.

Ning Xiaoxi smiled, a very happy smile.

Jiuyu returned to his little nest and sat down, smiling happily.

The dragon vein inside the cave suddenly emitted a soft light.

Jian Zhong stroked his familiar belly with both hands, finally feeling a sense of reality. He was holding the warm, smooth jade cabbage in his arms; the cracks had faded to a barely perceptible thread. Back at the heart of the dragon mine, he entered another deep slumber. He'd eaten too much this time; it seemed he was going to sleep like a log again.

The faint red bloodstains at the edge of the spiritual source disappeared, and the restless space quieted down.

Ning Xiaoxi felt a chill run down her spine. With such a powerful influence, there must be an important component inside the coffin—a brain or a heart?

The black blood inside had completely disappeared, but the coffin cover remained dry, untouched by the black blood.

He raised his hand and placed it on the edge of the coffin cover. His spiritual energy seeped into the dark wood. After four "crack! Crack!" sounds, the coffin cover fell to the ground, revealing the complete coffin on the base.

A brilliant golden light, a pure golden yellow, dazzling and eye-catching.

"The runes from the Thousand-Year War era are a completely different system from what we have now," Tuanzi remarked.

[Aren't the Celestial Master Pavilion and those Celestial Master families supposed to be inherited traditions? How can they be completely different systems?]

It is indeed a matter of inheritance, but one can never perfectly learn from others. Adding one's own creations, while involving only minor modifications each time, leads to a multitude of changes until, in the end, it is unrecognizable compared to the original.

Ning Xiaoxi recalled a face experiment she had seen before. Each modification was subtle and barely noticeable, resulting in almost no difference compared to the previous ones. After dozens of repetitions, the person appeared to be the same person when viewed consecutively. However, if only the first and last photos were compared, they were completely different people. Perhaps it was the same principle!

[Do I have a chance to learn these talismans or formations? They seem really powerful.]

[Of course it was powerful. That era wasn't just a golden age for humans, but also for both demons and monsters. Various spells and techniques flourished, and geniuses were everywhere. But once the art was lost, it was lost forever; how could it possibly be learned again?]

Where did all that stuff you gave me come from?

[Based on existing techniques and methods, this is the most comprehensive and perfect cultivation method.]

After circling the coffin once, somewhat reluctant to damage the perfect runes, he raised his hand and put the coffin back into his cave.

It landed with a "thud" next to Jiuyu.

Before the Nine Realms could react, the little beast rolled over, and the golden coffin suddenly flew out, landing silently in a spirit crystal palace far away.

Ning Xiaoxi burst out laughing; she was being rejected.

Since the little beast had arranged a place, Ning Xiaoxi put the three masks there as well.

Standing in the center of the platform, looking at the ravines filled with corpses, Ning Xiaoxi couldn't help but sigh softly. She released Zhu Rong Tongzi, instructing them to cleanse the filth from the two ravines, releasing the trapped corpses and freeing them from this sea of ​​suffering.

As I walked down the platform step by step and onto the stone path, blue flames ignited in the ravines, and rustling sounds arose, like whispers, like getting up, like crying, like sobbing.

Ning Xiaoxi leaped into the air, gripped the Spirit Crystal Heart Hammer with both hands, and swung it upwards with great force.

"boom!"

The dome was shattered, and bright sunlight shone through the hole into the dark cavern.

The wind blew, carrying away the whispers and sobs. Flames rose with the wind, whipping up two fire dragons that shot out of the cave and into the sky, igniting the white clouds and filling the sky with red glow.

Ning Xiaoxi jumped out of the hole and watched two fire dragons writhe, with carnations blooming within them. Their gentle fragrance spread throughout the city, petals falling to every corner before burning to ashes. The wind blew by, carrying away the fragrance and the restless souls lingering in the city.

After Zhurong the Boy burned all the corpses and bones, he returned to the space, and the flames of the two boys were tinged with a golden light.

At this moment, the sun rose high in the sky, and the scorching sunlight and the fiery dragon intertwined, greatly increasing the heat.

She reopened the map and searched for the next thousand miles around; she didn't want to stay in the desert anymore.

The target appeared in the third thousand-mile circle, but Ning Xiaoxi didn't take a single step this time. She entered Yanzhou from Sizhou, traversing the entire northern part of Yanzhou from east to west to reach the west coast. Combined with the western trials of the Celestial Master Pavilion, she had essentially wiped out the demons in that region, leaving only a few monsters that couldn't cause any major trouble.

She obtained four masks; the remaining six are all located in the southern region. She will collect them all by traveling from the west back to the east.

As for Tianji's suggestion to go to the royal city, that's a joke; she wouldn't go back to be cannon fodder.
