Life requires a sense of ritual, just like a writer who likes to change places frequently to write.

There is a stone table with some oval stones on the small burning brazier. On the stones are various meats and snacks. The tea soup is warm, rich and mellow. Liu Xiao sits at the table, taking a cigarette, a sip of tea, and a mouthful of meat.

.

His style is really incompatible with the surrounding scenery.

On the ground around the stone table, torn snake carcasses were lying in various places. The entire environment was gloomy, damp, dark and claustrophobic, even worse than places haunted by ghosts in horror movies.

If a Chinese from Earth were here, they would probably think that they had arrived in the underworld and met the underworld judge taking a lunch break.

After taking a sip of strong tea, Liu Xiao held his chin absentmindedly and stared blankly.

His consciousness switched back and forth between hundreds of snakes, always aware of the movements of these bloody corpses, and at the same time collecting information about the surroundings.

Half of the Lin Snakes have found their own tribe, but most of them were beaten up by Fatty. The reason is that Liu Xiao ignored the ethnic issues within the same tribe. Even if they are all Lin Snakes, if you go to someone else's tribe,

Isn't it just for being beaten?

Fortunately, they basically just beat them up and then drive them away. I haven't encountered anyone who was scared to death. These blood corpses themselves can't resist beatings. At worst, try another group.

It's a pity that although the blood corpse and undead control can completely control the Lin Snake corpse, they cannot obtain its memory. Otherwise, there is no need to go to such trouble and just go directly to the lair and the original group.

There are always a few lucky ones who find the tribe to which they belong directly.

Liu Xiao was also lucky enough to see the internal scene of the Lin Snake group through the eyes of a blood corpse.

It is a huge hole that goes deep into the ground. It needs to be added here that there are no alexandrite crystals under the swamp layer. There is a rock layer under the silt and sand.

There are obvious man-made traces of the pothole. The cave wall is a gentle slope that spirals downward, and there are countless stone caves on one side of the gentle slope.

The entire group of lin snakes use this pit as their nest to thrive.

It's hard to estimate the number, but looking down from the top of the pit, you can see that there are thousands of snakes crawling on the slope. Moreover, the pit extends downward infinitely, and you can't see where the bottom of the pit is.

This is a tribe and a kingdom.

So, here comes the problem.

What is the significance of this pit? Is it a nest for the Lin Snake? Is it an abandoned mine?

I can't care so much, let the other blood corpses pass first. These snakes were caught by Liu Xiao while walking together, so they should all belong to this group.

After suppressing the thought of turning the entire Lin Snake clan into blood corpses, Liu Xiao poured himself some tea and waited to see what happened.

The blood corpse crawled along the slope towards the pit. Although it was not an intelligent creature, it could follow the rules of going straight on one side, making it not chaotic at all in both directions.

Under the control of Liu Xiao's thoughts, the bloody corpse entered a stone cave. The internal space was not large, about thirty square meters, equivalent to a single apartment. Traces of human life could be vaguely seen. There were some carved carvings on the cave walls.

It is a partition that is convenient for placing items. Judging from the scratches on the ground, there should have been a lot of stone or wooden furniture here before, but it has been cleared away.

The entire cave has become a place for snakes to rest and store food.

Looking at this situation, humans once lived here.

Liu Xiao is very familiar with Stone Cave. The dormitory he was assigned to in Mu Ye Zhanling Academy has almost the same shape.

Leaving the cave and continuing to crawl down the slope, Liu Xiao came to the conclusion that the proportion of spirit bodies released from this Lin Snake group was very high.

How did you get it?

Because the spiritual transformation of beasts is equivalent to releasing the upper limit of intelligence, from the intelligence level of a walking corpse, or only an infant, to the level of intelligent creatures.

People say that whether a person is smart or not depends on whether there is light in his eyes.

The Lin Snake that has become a spiritual beast will not only have more spiritual eyes, but some of its behaviors will also be different from those of its transformed kin.

For example, they will be in a daze on the ramp, or stare at the abyss at the bottom of the pit, play with some undead animals, or make richer micro-expressions.

The most important thing is that they have their own language and more means of communication.

But it's not the original language, and Liu Xiao can't understand it anyway.

These spirit beasts have a high status in the group and can run rampant on the ramp without being restrained. They also seem to enjoy certain privileges, such as the right to beat their own kind at will and the right to mate at will.

Because the scene was so disgusting, Liu Xiao only glanced at it and left quickly.

For beasts, the release of spirit bodies not only improves their intelligence, but also inherits their racial talents and improves their physical functions. I have learned in the beast subject of the War Spirit Academy that the spirits of beasts have properties similar to those of Hanzhu.

Its function is to devour the bodies of other creatures and feed them back to itself. Therefore, anyone who reaches the level of a beast master must be a spiritual beast.

Liu Xiao regained the consciousness that stayed in the bloody corpse.

A VR-style adventure was paused.

Because some uninvited guests came to the area where he was camping.

He reached out and picked up an orange from the hot stone, which his grandmother asked him to take when he was on Earth.

Peel off the hot orange peel, and the pulp inside is still steaming.

In the distant forest, a pair of eyes hidden among the roots were secretly looking at me.

Soon, from one pair to two pairs, to three pairs, to four pairs.

Liu Xiao is getting a little annoyed watching this. You people are voyeurs.

In fact, he thought wrong. Anyone who sees a lonely person eating, drinking, and having tea and barbecue in such a ghost place will mistakenly think that they have been poisoned and hallucinate, and then quickly call their teammates over to confirm.

After more than ten people took turns to confirm, finally, these people were sure that there was indeed a mental illness here.

Of course, this psychopath also has three spiritual beasts with him.

From the bird's eye view, Liu Xiao also figured out the number of this group of people, fifteen people, three teams.

Maybe he was sent by a certain battle group to explore the way, or maybe he was discovered from a distance and came to confirm the situation.

These people stopped hiding and walked over openly.

However, the way everyone looks at themselves seems to be looking at something evil.

Damn, they are a bunch of ignorant people. With my style, don’t I have the feeling of being a worldly expert?!!

"Hey!"

From a distance, a young man with a smile on his face shouted to Liu Xiao, "What are you doing here?"

He raised his eyes, glanced at the other person, and at the same time glanced at the other fourteen people.

Twelve men and three women, the same regimental emblem, the same color equipment, the weapons in each person's hands look different, and they are accompanied by three spiritual beasts.

Judging from the types of weapons, 1 Guardian, 3 Abyss, 2 Silver Moon, 1 Hunting Shadow, 1 Yubeng, 1 Giant Que, 1 Soul Cut, 1 Breaking Formation, and the other 4 should be Spirit Refiners, at least one of them

Control the beast.

If it were in the game, this would be the lineup for the next dungeon.

There are no hidden figures in the three abyss, and there are no abnormalities around, indicating that the other party is showing goodwill to you, but it is also showing strength. Otherwise, there is no need for all 15 people to gather over and send a five-person team to ask about the situation.

That’s it.

The soul in the team who asked him the question had his sword in its sheath, his hands folded across his chest, and a cynical smile.

"take a break."

Liu Xiao replied with a smile.

Since it was the other party who took the initiative to talk, there was no need for him to say anything more.

"Hahahaha," the young man laughed loudly, "You are really interesting."

The young man pointed to the emblem on his chest, "We are the Torrent Chapter of Zhulang City. Someone discovered you, so we came over to take a look."

The young man looked at the three-headed raccoon dog that was positioned in the Zigzag pattern, guarding Liu Xiao in the middle, and said, "The spirit beast is not bad, it is a raccoon dog, it is not common, beast owner?"

This person is also very thick-skinned. He directly opened his mouth to explore Liu Xiao's background. The strength of a beast master is the strength of spiritual beasts. With Liu Xiao's lineup, everyone would think that he is a beast master.

"I saw a lot of hundred-man battle groups in the swamp in Zicui Mountain. What are they looking for?"

Liu Xiao asked with a smile.

Everyone on the other side seemed a little surprised by Liu Xiao's question.

"You don't know? Then why did you come in?"

The young man said in surprise.

Liu Xiao shook his head.

The corners of the young man's eyes trembled, and his expression seemed to confirm the conclusion that he was mentally ill.

"Where is your warband?"

The other fourteen people did not speak, making it clear that this young man was responsible for communication.

"I'm just alone."

An evil smile appeared on the young man's face, and his right hand slowly grasped the handle of the knife that was still in the sheath.

"Alone? Then I'm embarrassed..."

Liu Xiao was unmoved and still looked at him with a smile.

"Hahahaha," the young man retracted his right hand, "I was just kidding, I didn't expect you didn't react at all. It's not funny at all."

He turned his head and looked at a male soul refiner behind him, "Let's go, this guy shouldn't be in any danger."

The soul refiner nodded, turned around and left first, and the others followed him.

The young man was waving goodbye to Liu Xiao.

But Liu Xiao spoke.

"Do you have a shortage of seal masters?"
