Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 675 Alienation! (Two Chapters Combined)

Tree pythons are mostly found in dense forests, but they can also be encountered occasionally in rocky areas.

Song Changming had previously encountered a tree python while traveling on the plateau, and Tang Kecha had almost died there.

Fortunately, Fran discovered it in time, and coincidentally, the tree python was afraid of light and was scared away by Fran's holy light spell.

This time, it was probably the noise of the large bird crashing into the cliff that startled the hidden tree python, which led to the near danger just now.

Knowing how troublesome this thing was, Song Changming didn't linger and went straight down.

Tang Kecha and the other two followed closely behind, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Fortunately, the sun shines brightly overhead, so the tree python doesn't dare to extend its roots outside under the intense light.

If they encountered this tree python at night when the moon was overcast, it wouldn't be so easy for them to leave.

"Master!" Fran's voice trembled slightly as she suddenly spoke.

Her gaze had already turned downwards.

Through the layers of mountain mist, she saw specks of unusual, ethereal light.

Those were ants and insects that looked up at them, as big as lions and tigers, with a dozen or so thin legs on their abdomens and many openings that opened and closed.

Most importantly, the faces of these ants and insects are still expressionless human faces.

I just stared at them like that, and it felt strangely eerie.

“Ghost-faced ants, these are mutated creatures!” Tang Kecha said solemnly.

"An alienated thing?" Song Changming looked at him; this was the first time he had heard this term.

Tang Kecha also consciously explained it to him.

"When a living being in the world dies and its soul is extinguished, the scattered soul power may not necessarily be dissolved. This soul power will reassemble somewhere, and when it reaches a certain level, it will become a source of mutation, gradually mutating the nearby living beings."

These ants and insects have been transformed into these bizarre, inhuman, and insect-like creatures.”

"So there must be a source of mutation in this jungle of bushes, influencing these ants and insects?" Song Changming asked after hearing this.

"Yes," Tang Kecha said with certainty.

"What impact will that have on us?" Song Changming asked.

They were about to cross this thicket, and the source of this mutation was bound to be a troublesome problem.

“As long as we don’t stay here for long, the source of mutation won’t have a deep impact on us,” Tang Kecha said.

"So, all we need to do is get out of here as soon as possible, right?" Fran said with considerable fear and disgust as she stared at the human-faced ants below.

In her eyes, these ants and insects were utter heretics, twisted demons, and disgusted her.

“That’s right. The only troublesome thing is these mutated creatures. They will attack all groups that have not yet been mutated indiscriminately,” Tang Kecha said.

He couldn't be sure how many other mutated creatures were in this thicket.

The number might be quite staggering, making it no easy task for them to traverse this thicket.

After saying that, Tang Kecha started cursing again.

"Damn it, those invisible guys didn't mention anything about the source of mutation here!"

He failed to uncover the source of this alienation, which was actually his mistake.

"Go test their strength," Song Changming instructed Tang Kecha.

"Yes." Tang Kecha walked a little further down, sensing the restless mutated ants, and raised his folding fan to unleash a bone-chilling gust of wind that swept below.

The sharp, knife-like wind lashed at the ants and insects, making a clanging sound and even sending sparks flying.

It is evident that these ants and insects have very strong bodies, the kind that are impossible to break.

Upon seeing this, Tang Ke summoned his iron folding fan and circled it once below.

The iron folding fan was unstoppable. The ant's armor could not withstand it and was torn apart by the iron folding fan, its body and the ant's body shattering on the ground.

The face, which looked like it was stuck to an ant, was full of ferocity and let out a strange, shrill cry at Tang Kecha.

Enveloped by the sound waves, Tang Kecha's eyes rolled back, and he swayed precariously, about to fall.

Fortunately, Biyougen reacted quickly and grabbed him in time.

The living ants swarmed up and crawled toward the group of people, numbering in the hundreds or thousands!

The sonic booms they emitted simultaneously relentlessly attacked the souls of the group.

Biyugen only held on for a moment before she couldn't take it anymore and was about to fall.

Fran's divine soul was more refined, and she used holy light to pull the two of them back.

"Go blind!"

As Fran chanted, holy light shone brightly, even more so than the nine luminaries of heaven.

Under the bright light, the ants finally stopped approaching, blood flowed from the person's eyes, and they retreated like a receding tide.

It wasn't that these mutated ants were afraid of light; it's just that Fran's Holy Light spell was indeed unique.

Then, Fran awakened Tang Kecha and Biyougen.

Most of the time, Fran plays the support role in this trio, but occasionally she will save the other two.

The three men's methods and abilities complemented each other to some extent. If they hadn't encountered Song Changming, this formidable opponent, the trio would have had a chance to make a name for themselves on this primordial continent.

Song Changming didn't focus his attention on the ants and insects, but instead looked up at the bushes and thickets in front of him.

There were also pairs of eerie eyes watching them as they were about to climb down the cliff.

Compared to these ants and insects, those were the real dangers he needed to be wary of.

"What a nuisance," Song Changming sighed inwardly.

There were very few calm and peaceful moments along the way.

The primordial continent was fraught with danger, partly because their own strength was insufficient, which attracted so many threats who coveted them.

If he is strong enough, everyone will respect him like a god, and who would dare to touch him?

"Protect your souls, let's go." Song Changming walked in front, with Tang Kecha and the other two, who had recovered, following closely behind.

They also knew that if they wanted to get through this thicket of bushes, they would have to rely on Song Changming.

The mountain mist drifted far into the distance, creating a hazy, white atmosphere that added to the eerie feel of the surrounding jungle and shrubs.

As Song Changming stepped inside, the white mist, in wisps, permeated everything, making it impossible for ordinary people to see anything more than a few meters away.

Song Changming understood; this wasn't mountain mist at all, but rather the mist itself drifting from the bushes and thickets.

“Master, my senses are being suppressed!” Fran said.

"There's something strange about this fog!"

For some reason, Song Changming felt that the fog looked somewhat familiar, but he didn't say anything and just continued to walk through the thicket.

Some ants with human faces, as big as lions and tigers, still charged straight at Song Changming and his group.

With a simple flick of his wrist, Song Changming unleashed beams of lightning and fire that precisely pierced through the ants and insects.

The dead ants and insects exuded streams of soul energy, which mingled with the mist in the area. Song Changming could inexplicably sense a hint of malice within this mist, which was extremely noisy and disturbing.

Those with weak minds are likely to be influenced by these evil thoughts in the fog, gradually losing their rationality and developing in a crazy and extreme direction.

Tang Kecha and Bi Yougen were like this, becoming increasingly restless and agitated, while Fran was least affected by this evil thought, but she only felt extremely uncomfortable in this place.

After traveling for about fifteen more minutes, in addition to the human-faced ants, rat monsters with human faces appeared. They looked much the same, but were more troublesome than the human-faced ants.

Of course, even this rat monster couldn't withstand a single finger from Song Changming; the power of thunder and fire was enough to annihilate it.

Evil thoughts also arose within these rat monsters, peeling away and merging with the mist.

It appears that the mist actively absorbed the malevolent soul power emanating from the rat monster's corpse.

This scene also made Song Changming more vigilant about the surrounding fog.

As they continued onward, even more and more mutated creatures appeared.

They vary in strength and the level of alienation they exhibit also differs.

Some, like the ants, insects, and rodents at the beginning, only had a mutated human face, and the degree of this mutation was still relatively mild.

Some of them have been deeply mutated, with their entire bodies and many organs severely distorted and deformed, their bodies shrouded in malevolent soul power, making them look quite terrifying.

These creatures, which have been deeply mutated, are extremely difficult to deal with; even Song Changming could not kill every one of them he encountered.

Fortunately, not all of these deeply mutated beings would actively attack them.

With the invisibility talisman active, they could avoid the mutated monsters by maintaining their distance and going around them.

Guh.
Song Changming suddenly stopped.

Tang Kecha and the other two also noticed something strange about a large, yellowish-brown rock not far away. Upon closer inspection, they realized it was clearly a bullfrog.

The bullfrog was sitting there, several meters tall, motionless, and if you didn't look closely, it really looked like a rock.

"Master, shall we take a detour?" Tang Ke asked in a low voice when he noticed that the bullfrog was not moving.

Song Changming shook his head and said, "This bullfrog has appeared three times before, and this is the fourth time."

"It's been following us!" Tang Kecha immediately realized that this was an unavoidable problem.

"Fortunately, this frog's mutation isn't too severe," Fran said with a sigh of relief after observing it for a while.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, human faces suddenly appeared on the bullfrog's back, which was originally covered in bumps.

A deep-seated malice emanated from it, far surpassing that of those mutated rats and ants.

Upon seeing this, Fran immediately shut her mouth and subconsciously offered a prayer.

"Holy Lord, please protect us!"

Guh.
The bullfrog opened its bulging, bright yellow eyes, and a sinister smile, almost human-like, appeared on its face.

The overwhelming malice sent chills down Tang Kecha and the other two's spines.

"what!"

The next moment, Tang Kecha's eyes turned bloodshot, and he suddenly plunged one hand into his abdomen, snapping off a section of his intestines!
Bi Yougen suddenly started tearing at his scalp without warning, looking completely deranged.

The bullfrog continued to laugh, and the faces on its back all wore the same smile, making its malice even more overwhelming.

These evil thoughts deeply affected Tang Kecha and Bi Yougen, causing them to completely lose their rationality.

Fran panicked, and holy energy burst forth from her body as she tried to dispel the evil soul power within herself, Tang Kecha, and Biyougen.

But perhaps her cultivation and mastery of holy light were not strong enough. The invincible holy energy should have naturally countered this mutated and manifested evil thought.

Right now, however, they are being completely suppressed by this bullfrog.

She knew she could only barely protect herself and couldn't save Tang Kecha and Biyougen, so she decisively abandoned them and used all her divine energy to save herself.

"Master, please take me away from this hellish place," Fran pleaded with Song Changming beside her, not even knowing how much longer she could hold on.

Song Changming remained silent, ignoring Fulan's pleas.

He knew very well that they wouldn't be able to leave unless they killed the deeply mutated bullfrog in front of them.

They had been targeted by the other side for some time.

There was more evil intent within him, desperately trying to penetrate his body and corrupt his soul.

However, Song Changming's Witch God Soul stands on four divine steps, making it difficult to corrupt him.

Meanwhile, the spirit of the God-Devouring Blade in Song Changming's hand couldn't wait to emerge and devour the malevolent soul power surging towards Song Changming, as if it were consuming a highly nourishing substance.

With this knife protecting him, Song Changming was not actually afraid of these so-called evil thoughts.

After devouring the evil thoughts on Song Changming, the sword spirit then absorbed all the evil thoughts from Fulan and the other two.

Then, it looked at the mutated bullfrog with lingering interest.

At this moment, the bullfrog's human face could no longer smile, and its appearance became increasingly ferocious.

As soon as it opens its mouth, its tongue shoots out with lightning speed.

The tip of the tongue turned out to be a human head without skin.

The human head was red and shiny, with a mouthful of fangs. In an instant, it approached Song Changming and lunged to bite.

If someone were bitten by that, large chunks of flesh and bones would likely be torn apart.

However, beneath the star field, when the tongue struck Song Changming's body, it was blocked by multiple layers of protective energy and could not tear into flesh at all.

Instead, Song Changming grabbed the tongue, and the power of thunder and fire melted the long tongue that the bullfrog had shot out in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Song Changming held back and directly raised his sword for a stomp strike.

A terrifying sword intent clung to the area, accompanied by lightning and fire. The dazzling golden sword light instantly swept through the bushes and forests, stretching for dozens of miles!

The bullfrog's body melted away and disappeared without a trace after being slashed by the knife!

"Thank you, Master. I have been saved again," Tang Kecha said weakly.

His intestines were still hanging out, and his hands were covered in blood from his own stomach.

He almost died again.

"If you want to thank someone, thank this knife. Without it, I couldn't have saved you," Song Changming said, shaking his head.

It can only be said that Song Changming's God-Devouring Blade is more effective at suppressing these evil soul forces than Fran's Holy Light Technique.

Without the sword spirit to devour evil thoughts, he really had no way to dispel these evil soul forces.

Once you use your soul power, you will be stuck to this evil thought like a plaster and then become corrupted.

As for the bullfrog that he just chopped down, it may not actually be dead.

At least he didn't feel like he had killed the bullfrog.

Regardless of the reason, whether the other party was wary of Song Changming's knife or for other reasons, their decision to stay out of the way was a good thing for Song Changming and his group, saving them from further trouble.

"Let's go, continue."

If you're not dead, keep going.
