I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

Especially the strange and extremely pale face on Jiang Yan's chest, which was turned into a blurred meat paste by the sword light that was slashed dozens or hundreds of times in one second.

Soon, the sound of chanting in the temple completely disappeared.

Luo Jiu and the other two who were forcing themselves to attack collapsed to the ground at this moment, sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

He looked at the bodies of Jiang Yan and Liu Shiqing, and then at Luo Jiu and the other two who were exhausted.

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

However, he did not rush to ask Luo Jiu and the other two, but returned to sit by the fire and waited quietly.

As for the negative state brought about by the three evil-repelling sword techniques on his body, he was not in a hurry to transfer it.

After all, he had not used the Evil-Defeating Sword Technique for a long time this time, and the severity of those negative states was not very high, and would not cause him unbearable effects for the time being.

that's it.

The deserted temple fell into an eerie silence, with no other sounds except the crackling sound of burning firewood and the heavy breathing of Luo Jiu and the other two.

Time passes slowly, minute by minute.

Before I knew it, half a quarter of an hour had passed and the heavy rain outside had slowed down.

The exhausted Luo Jiu and the other two finally recovered and regained their strength.

See this.

Zhou Heng did not delay any longer. He did not care whether his ignorance would cause others to think strangely. He pointed at the bodies of Jiang Yan and the other two and asked them:

"What happened to them?"

Hear the words.

Luo Jiu and the other two looked at each other.

Finally, Luo Jiu took a step forward, exhaled a long breath, and explained softly:

"Their minds have been severely polluted, causing them to be invaded by strange things. If we don't kill them in time, they will die immediately at best, or become a new [evil] at worst."

"The mind being invaded by something strange can actually turn a person into an evil being!!"

Zhou Heng was quite surprised, but at the same time he was extremely glad that he had left a negative transfer as a backup when his mind was invaded by the strange thing that night.

Otherwise, he would have become an evil person without any thoughts or wisdom.

"By the way, Master Zhou, what happened just now? Were we attacked by [evil]?"

Just when Zhou Heng was secretly rejoicing, Luo Jiu suddenly continued to ask.

Hearing this, Zhou Heng shook his head slightly, then pointed towards the statue and said:

“We were just attacked by a fox spirit using an illusion.

Because I had some tricks, I neutralized the opponent's attack and killed it. The fox spirit's body was next to the statue.

As for you, you probably know more about what happened in the illusion than I do."

"It's actually a fox spirit!"

Luo Jiu and the other two were stunned when they heard this, then turned to look at the statue, and saw the scattered black fox corpse at the feet of the statue.

Then, they all walked quickly to the pile of body parts and searched among them without any disgust.

Finally, they dug out a transparent round bead with a diameter of about 9 centimeters from the body.

"Is this... a spirit's inner elixir?"

Looking at the transparent round beads that Luo Jiu and the other two found from the corpse, Zhou Heng, who had quietly come behind them, couldn't help but express his doubts.

Regarding the situation of the inner elixir of monsters.

Zhou Heng learned about this from the booklet he had obtained from the editing department.

In this world, every monster has an inner elixir as transparent as crystal in its body, which is the source of their extraordinary energy.

The diameter of the inner elixir of monsters at different levels of cultivation is also different.

A newly born spirit with a cultivation level equivalent to that of a third-rate warrior has an inner elixir with a diameter greater than or equal to one centimeter and less than one fen.

A mature spirit with a cultivation level equivalent to that of a second-rate warrior has an inner elixir with a diameter greater than or equal to one fen and less than one cun.

The inner elixir of an old-fashioned monster whose cultivation level is equivalent to that of a first-class warrior is greater than or equal to one inch and less than one foot in diameter.

The diameter of the inner core of the monster in front of them was as large as nine centimeters, which meant that the fox monster was not far from becoming a mature monster. No wonder it could easily cause these people to suffer from hallucination attacks.

As for the specific effect of the inner elixir of monsters on human warriors, Zhou Heng was not clear.

However, judging from the expressions of Luo Jiu and the other three, it was obvious that they should know something.

So, without waiting for Luo Jiu and the other two to speak, he asked again, "What use is this monster's inner elixir to us?"

Hear the words.

Luo Jiu and the other two looked at each other again.

Finally, Sun Yaozu, who was holding the spirit's inner elixir, turned around and handed it to Zhou Heng and said:

"Master Zhou, although we new recruits cannot take the initiative to accept missions to gain military merit.

However, for tasks like hunting monsters and obtaining inner elixirs, if we can hand over the monster inner elixirs to the military camp, we can also obtain corresponding military merits.

This inner elixir is the inner elixir of a newborn monster. It is more than nine centimeters in diameter. According to military regulations, one can get nine points of military merit after handing it in.

In our Qingliang Army, one point of military merit can be exchanged for one hundred meat essences or eighty Qingliang grasses."

"One point of military merit can be exchanged for a hundred meat essences!"

When Zhou Heng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Originally, after killing Jiang Yan, he was still quite worried that his plan to trade Qingliangcao for meat essence after returning to the military camp would be ruined.

Unexpectedly, now things suddenly turned around and with nine points of military merit, he could directly obtain nine hundred meat essences, which were enough for him to use for a while.

However, I was surprised.

Zhou Heng suddenly thought of another doubt. He then took the inner elixir of the monster handed to him by Sun Yaozu and continued to ask:

"Didn't you say earlier that the military camp specifically controls the amount of meat and sperm we consume every day in order to limit the level of our mental pollution?

Now that a little military merit can be exchanged for a hundred meat essences, isn't the military camp worried that the exchangers will lose control and become too mentally polluted, becoming invaded by the weird and becoming [evil]?"

"Ah this..."

Hearing this doubt, Luo Jiu and the other two were also puzzled. They pondered for a moment, and finally shook their heads and said:

“We don’t know why this rule is in place in the military camp.

However, under normal circumstances, people who exchange meat essence should also have self-awareness.

Anyway, since we joined the Qingliang Army, we have never heard of anyone in the barracks becoming evil because their minds were mysteriously invaded.

Moreover, it seems that there is a special formation set up in the military camp. That formation can make people in the military camp who are successfully invaded by strange spirits die instantly and will not turn into [evil].

Perhaps this is why the military camp is not afraid of soldiers practicing excessively and seeking death.

After all, our lives are our own. If we don't know our own limits, then we deserve to die. The military camp won't bother to care."
