Chapter 1049: Deep Into the Wasteland
The leader of the Haotou Empire said helplessly: "This time it is really troublesome for you, because the empire has suffered too much loss, and we can only let a few people go this time." The loss last time was too heavy, and only a few people could be squeezed out. It’s not easy for experts to come.
Nowadays, the country of the Haotu Empire is in turmoil, although on the surface it is still peaceful with singing and dancing, and even after the alien beasts were destroyed, there is a joyous scene in the country. But the royal family of the Haotou Empire knew that due to too many losses, the major sects and families in the country were already getting ready to take action. At this time, there are no masters in the country, and it is easy to be attacked by these people.
If it hadn't been for the last war, even their sects and families would have suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid they would have taken action this time. Now it is not easy to have five spirit emperors go to kill Huo Hai.
"This time, we will not let that kid survive. We have just received news that the man stationed on the front line has disappeared and cannot be found. It seems that he has probably been killed by the Insect King. We must avenge this .”
A Spiritual Emperor is also a very precious resource in peacetime. What's more, now, the Great Land Empire has suffered heavy losses.
The leader of the Haotu Empire waved his hand: "This time, there is no need to arrest people. As long as they are found, kill them without mercy." When the leader of the Haotu Empire said this, he was also very distressed. If he hadn't always wanted to capture Huo Hai, he wouldn't be in this situation now. Huo Hai and the Haotu Empire have become completely hostile, and at the same time they have grown to this extent, and are still growing.
If this continues, it won't take long for Huo Hai to completely destroy the royal family by himself. The leader, Haoran, nodded and said, "Don't worry, if we don't kill the Insect King this time, we will never come back." After saying that, Haoran turned around and left with the others.
In this team, there are only two royal masters. A Haoyun, although his qualifications are very old, he is only at the level of the third level Spirit Emperor. The other one, Haoran, is a rare seventh-level spiritual emperor among the royal family and is a top expert. This time, in order to deal with Huo Hai, the Haotu Empire actually sent out this national treasure. There are only a few people in the entire Haotu Empire who have reached this level.
Others are not the royal family of the Great Land Empire, but they are also masters trained by the Great Land Empire since childhood. Two level three spirit emperors and one level five spirit emperor. This power, even in normal times, might not be so easy to come up with.
The Haotou Empire was operating at full strength, and soon the five people's whereabouts were hidden. At the speed of these people, it would only take two days to reach the border location. This is to take care of a few people who are only third-level spiritual emperors.
Huo Hai didn't know that the Haotu Empire had actually sent such a team of experts to hunt him down. But Huo Hai knew that he would never feel good if the Haotu Empire found an opportunity. Especially now, when his injuries have not yet recovered. Huo Hai felt the injuries on his body, and he would not be able to return to normal within a few months.
After leaving the fortress, Huo Hai suddenly thought of something. Summon the twelve spiders, and then take out the crystal core from the previous vulture. Sure enough, the twelve spiders became excited again, and their hearts were full of desire.
Huo Hai slowly felt the feelings of the spiders: "You mean, this thing is useful to you. Wait, swallowing the crystal core of the ferocious beast that exceeds its own level can increase the chance of the ferocious beast's evolutionary breakthrough. I didn't expect that the ferocious beast would still I really didn't expect such a cruel means of evolution." Huo Hai never knew that ferocious beasts could evolve by devouring their own kind.
It's impossible for spirit beasts anyway, even spirit beasts have crystal nuclei. After a spiritual beast transforms into a human form, its own crystal core will gradually disperse, just like humans. In different spiritual caves, different small crystal nuclei are formed.
This has already begun after reaching the realm of the Spiritual King. And the purest bit of its own crystal nucleus will eventually remain, forming its own origin. If the spirit beast is willing, it can completely refine this power as a source spirit treasure. And the vast majority of spirit beasts actually do this. After reaching the realm of the Spirit Emperor, the difference between spirit beasts and humans is not that big.
But the ferocious beasts are different. The ferocious beasts constantly refine their own crystal cores, use their flesh to polish their spiritual power, and strengthen their own crystal cores. At the same time, he uses the power of the crystal core to strengthen his own body, and continues to improve over and over again. It can be said that the most essential part of the beast's body is basically the crystal core.
Different ferocious beasts devoured the crystal cores left by stronger ferocious beasts, and they also had a high chance of breakthrough. As long as it doesn't devour any properties that conflict with itself, it's fine. Huo Hai's spiders all have attributes such as blood and poison.
Huo Hai felt it for a while and found that his spiders could not swallow crystal nuclei with flame attributes or light attributes. Other crystal nuclei can be devoured as long as necessary. Thinking of this, Huo Hai threw the crystal core in his hand to the strongest spider. "Okay, let's devour this first, and when we get the chance, we can continue to hunt more ferocious beasts."
After swallowing the crystal core, Huo Hai took back all the spiders. The spider that swallowed the crystal core also began to slowly enter a state of transformation. I wonder how people would feel if they knew that Huo Hai was so wasteful.
The ferocious beast crystal cores are not only used to feed ferocious beasts, they also have many uses. Whether it is used as a material for alchemy or for making arrays, it is very valuable. Of course, this is just one use.
The real function of the ferocious beast crystal core is actually to strengthen the body. Few people know that absorbing the essence of the ferocious beast's crystal core can continuously strengthen one's own body. This effect is even stronger than that of a master who specializes in body training. If you are a master of body training, using it to strengthen yourself will greatly increase your physical strength, even compared with weapons of the same level.
Of course, this is also required. The first is that the swallowed crystal core must have the same attributes as one's own spiritual power. In other words, it is basically difficult for people who practice spiritual power with special attributes to use this method.
The second requirement is that the ferocious beast crystal core used must be of a higher level than yourself. I don’t know if I can find a ferocious beast with star attributes in this life. Even with Huo Hai's alchemy skills, he couldn't refine ordinary crystal nuclei into elixirs that were useful to him.
So Huo Hai could only forget about it. Released the few star Gu that could still move freely, Huo Hai continued to explore while exploring. This vast wilderness is not a good place. Even on the relatively safe roads, Huo Hai has seen several scenes where ferocious beasts in the spirit king realm passed by nearby. Most people really don't dare to pass by casually.
It is indicated on the map that the formation of the Great Wasteland is related to its own leylines. Where humans live, the earth's veins are relatively mild. Therefore, the aura generated by the earth's veins is more suitable for the growth of humans and spiritual beasts.
Yet there are always some special places where leylines are wildly violent. The spiritual energy generated by these earth veins contains some strange evil spirits. Growing in such an environment, the beasts that appear are basically ferocious beasts.
The great wasteland in front of us is also the place where a large number of violent leylines gather. Such places are usually forbidden to humans. Even spiritual beasts would be very rare in a place like this. After Huo Hai entered the wilderness, he felt the violent power of heaven and earth. Under the influence of spiritual energy, even the power of heaven and earth became like this.
"If someone practices here all year round, I really don't know what a place like this will look like." It's no joke that spiritual energy affects people's personalities. In fact, many people have practiced in this kind of place before.
Especially the border, the environment is most similar to here. There are advantages and disadvantages to cultivating in this kind of environment. The advantage is that by practicing here, as your strength improves, your physical strength can also slowly increase.
But the disadvantages are also obvious. If you are not strong enough, you will be easily affected by the violent aura here. At that time, as the strength increases, people will become more and more violent and bloodthirsty, and eventually become a killing machine. Even at the edge of the border, the resulting spiritual masters also like to fight very much, and the fighting passion is very strong.
In this environment, Huo Hai didn't even know that if someone practiced in this place from the beginning, it would be easy to become a spiritual beast. That's right, it's a spirit beast, a completely humanoid spirit beast, just like any other spirit beast.
Only after reaching the realm of the Spiritual King can the mind truly wake up. These people cannot be regarded as human beings, nor can they be regarded as complete spiritual beasts. After reaching the realm of Spirit King or even Spirit Emperor, he is still somewhat different from ordinary normal people. They have innate abilities and residual crystal cores in their bodies. This is similar to spirit beasts, but they cannot transform.
Many of these people will not return to the human world because they are worried that they will be discriminated against by humans because they are different, so some people live in the wilderness. Living together with some transformed spiritual beasts.
There are also some people who, after refining the remaining crystal nuclei in their bodies as Yuanling Lingbao, eliminate any difference from normal people and return to the human world. With its strong strength, it is easy to be appreciated by all major forces.
Huo Hai looked at the map and saw that not far from his route, there was a place where spiritual beasts and mutated humans lived together. "I don't know what a special human being looks like." Huo Hai was a little curious when he saw the markings on the map. The map does not indicate that these people are actually no different from spiritual beasts.
Hurry up and you'll be there in no time. The spiritual beasts in the wilderness are very friendly to humans. This place is the world of ferocious beasts. All people and spiritual beasts gather together to unite to fight against ferocious beasts.
Even humans and spiritual beasts coming and going will not be driven away when they come to these tribes. On the contrary, everyone is very kind. People often pass by here and trade some things with local spiritual beasts and humans. Some merchants even risk their lives and travel to these places just to transport those precious things to the human world.
