My Cultivation Has Deteriorated

Looking at the blood crystals in the ashes, Meng Xia couldn't help but froze.

Is this a treasure?

Meng Xia didn't pick it up rashly, but decided to settle down.

[system performs authentication. ]

[Name: ogre soul core. ]

[Cause of birth: Driven by an extremely strong will, the soul core residing in the body will release a strong signal, prompting the body to take in a lot of nutrients in a short time. This soul core is the product of the final will, soul core, and a large amount of energy. The sole mission of the birth is to make the body concentrate all its strength to complete the task.

[Birth conditions: extremely harsh. 99% of the soul core will be consumed with the body in the process of finalizing the mission.

[Value: Rare. 】

【Utility: Contains precious samples of ogre soul core, which is of great collection and research value. 】

Meng Xia couldn't help thinking a lot after hearing the identification of system in his mind.

soul core ......Sojourn......

Is ogre essentially some kind of...parasitic life? !

In this brief moment, Meng Xia couldn't help thinking of works such as parasitic beasts that he had seen in previous lives.

A small parasite, after eating your brain, prompts you to mutate and prey on the same kind.

Thinking of this, Meng Xia couldn't help but feel a chill in his mind.

Doesn’t that mean that ogre is essentially parasitized...human?

This idea was crazy, and it had an unprecedented impact on Meng Xia.

Think about those ogre who just described themselves as "Saint Race", Meng Xia couldn't help but feel pity for them.

Being parasitized by some unknown existence inexplicably, they are also victims.

Sad!

Thinking of this, Meng Xia suddenly developed an unprecedented hatred and dread for the unknown parasitic species that had never been known or even speculated!

Meng Xia picked up the blood-colored crystal, which looked the size of an egg.

According to the explanation just given by system, this blood crystal will continue to consume energy in order to drive the body to complete its mission.

The reason why this egg is as big as an egg may be because Tie Kun completely misjudged his strength and was almost killed by him.

The reason why Meng Xia was able to discover it was also because of the fire between Heaven and Earth, which promptly burned the fleshy body of ogre to ashes.

It was all coincidences that finally allowed this soul core to retain so much energy, the size of an egg, and it was even exposed in front of Meng Xia.

Rare enough, large enough, and extremely valuable for research.

A priceless treasure!

However, compared with the value of the soul core itself, Meng Xia cares more about other meanings after it is discovered.

For example.

Reveal the nature of the ogre race and the true reason for its birth!

This is incalculable for Human Race.

Meng Xia is about to reserve its income!

At this moment, Meng Xia suddenly thought of a more realistic problem.

If ogre is really a parasitic life, after the parasite dies, will their body die?

Meng Xia was busy clicking on the mini map. After seeing all the red avatars of ogre, all of them disappeared, it was relaxed.

The parasite dies, and the parasitic life follows the death... It shows that this unknown parasitic species has a high degree of parasitism, and the death of the parasite cannot change the parasite.

The degree of threat has undoubtedly dropped a lot!

[I wonder what happened to Zhong Ning and Uncle Fu! ]

Meng Xia hurried to where they were.

When I saw Uncle Fu lying in a pool of blood, dying, Meng Xia quickly tapped acupuncture points near the wound to help stop the bleeding.

Take out the wine jug containing the spirit wine from the storage space, and send it into the body with the force of water.

Meng Xia feels relieved when he feels that Uncle Fu's breathing becomes more stable and stronger.

Just through the injury, Meng Xia can see that the battle for Uncle Fu was very difficult, almost a life-for-life.

"Thanks!"

After treating Uncle Fu, Meng Xia went to Zhong Ning again.

Compared with Uncle Fu, Zhong Ning's condition is much better. The wounds have basically stopped bleeding and scabs.

But now I am also in a coma!

Obviously, the restoration of the two "Return" characters also requires a price.

For this, Meng Xia is not too surprised.

Just like he blends into the wind, it also needs energy and blood as a source of fire, and then he can usher in World's Essence Qi and add firewood to support the fire.

After drinking a few sips of wine for Zhong Ning, Zhong Ning's complexion quickly returned to ruddy, and soon he woke up.

Seeing the hip flask in Meng Xia's hand, my eyes suddenly lit up.

"I know you still have a treasure, give me a few more sips!"

Meng Xia passed the jug directly to Zhong Ning, and Zhong Ning took two sips.

After a little breath adjustment, the energy in the spirit wine immediately melted into the limbs.

"Finally came alive!"

Zhong Ning returned the flask, Meng Xia shook his head, "There is no medicine now, this spirit wine can save your life, you can hold it first . We will search and rescue the survivors of the town separately. I will help you?"

"No problem."

Zhong Ning nodded, agreed to Meng Xia's arrangement.

The two immediately acted.

As for the safety of Uncle Fu, Zhong Ning did not ask much.

It's not that he doesn't care. Since Meng Xia didn't send bad news, that's good news.

Besides, there is this life-saving wine, so don’t worry!

The rescue work continued until noon the next day.

The situation is so miserable that the entire town has almost been slaughtered.

In a town of about five-six thousand people, there are fewer than five hundred survivors.

This is not a problem that every family hangs white cloth, but a problem that overwhelming majority families are directly extinguished sect.

Even the people who survived by chance are all wounded.

It’s really hard to imagine that what brought such a trauma to this small town is the trifling six-person ogre hunting squad.

Learning that ogre had been wiped out by Meng Xia, all the survivors burst into tears.

The cry is trembling, and the sorrow is bleak.

In order to vent their anger, the five ogre who had already been smashed by the owl's head were crushed to pieces, and then they were thwarted by the townspeople.

But no matter how sad, the deceased is dead, and life has to go on.

Under the organization of Meng Xia and Zhong Ning, a huge tomb was quickly dug out.

All the victims were buried in tombs.

It is not that Meng Xia is mean and cannot give the victims more opportunities to mourn.

There are too many dead people. It’s summer again. Maybe it’s another big plague.

Three days later.

All the deceased have been put into the land for safety, and the aftermath work has come to an end.

The three of Meng Xia have completely become the backbone of everyone in Yuliang Town.

In a big house.

Meng Xia looked at the six jade boxes in front of him, with many thoughts.

This jade box is the jade box that ogre used to hold the heart. The heart inside has been solemnly buried, but the jade box is left.

Because.

This kind of jade box is very unique, the heart is put into the jade box, and it can almost be kept alive all the time.

Moreover, the jade box has a little storage space flavor.

Hundreds of hearts in each jade box are not a problem at all.

To be honest, the value of the jade box is very great.

If it can be used for medical treatment, it may be Divine Item.

Meng Xia feels particularly uncomfortable when he thinks of the purpose for which the jade box was made.

Just as Meng Xia was thinking about how to deal with these jade boxes, Zhong Ning hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Brother Meng, the news from Chuandai County City has come back, and soon there will be government officials coming!"

Meng Xia was overjoyed when he heard this news.

If the government takes over, he will be free from this mess.

Meng Xia: "Thank you brother Zhong!"

Zhong Ning shook his head, with a look of shame, "It was Zhong Clan's fault that caused Yuliang Town to be slaughtered! "

Meng Xia couldn't help but wonder, "ogre's biggest advantage is concealment. Such unscrupulous massacres are too abnormal. Does Zhong Brother have any eyebrows?"

Even as a human, Nor will it kill all the livestock at once.

even more how human beings are not without any resistance, they can only let them give and ask for livestock.

And Ogre's action this time is undoubtedly killing chickens and getting eggs!

I also exposed myself and brought a murderous disaster.

Zhong Ning frowned, worried and said, "I just replied to the county seat and mentioned this question. Ogre is generally low-key, and will not kill unscrupulously. The style is generally done. Immediately dormant after the case, but if you want to be promoted, that's different!"

"Promotion?"

Zhong Ning nodded, "Ogre is organized and hierarchical. This time ogre is so unscrupulous, it is most likely because a leader of ogre is going to be promoted!"

Through Zhong Ning's narration, Meng Xia learned that ogre also has a commander, Great Commander, and Marquis. , Emperor.

And every time I get promoted, I kill Human Race blood flowing into a river.

It's time to kill!
