Am I going to be sacrificed too?

Chapter 8 Abnormal Changes

After reaching the extraordinary realm, the Blood Lion awakened a portion of its intelligence. When the animals around it tried to devour its body, it treated them as blood bags.

It wanted to slowly pull out the vines by constantly eroding its own blood.

Soon the ruins returned to silence, with only crows circling overhead. They were least affected by the impact and had the best view.

"Gurgle~ Gurgle!"

A strange light flashed in the eyes of one of the crows; it clearly saw the emerald green glint at the center of the vines.

In the darkness, a whisper seemed to reach its ears, urging it to obtain that touch of green.

That instinctive love for sparkling things also drove it downwards, ever closer to the center of the vine; it was determined to possess it!

boom!

That was a loud thud from a vine snapping.

The swooping crow couldn't dodge in time and was instantly turned into a pile of minced meat, crashing onto the open ground nearby.

After a long time, it was carefully dragged away by an animal and shared among them.

Under normal circumstances, Mia and her friends would be incredibly lucky to witness something like this. If they had planned ahead, they could not only hunt down two extraordinary creatures, but they might also have obtained the treasure that would allow the Gale Vine to evolve.

The problem is that they are being hunted down and can hardly protect themselves.

"Lady Mia, let's leave quickly," the attendant reminded her.

On this battlefield, the divine powers of 'filth' and 'wind' from both sides are raging, creating an abnormally chaotic field of divine power, which is the perfect opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

If they can get through here and find another direction to break out, there is a high probability that they will shake off the Blood Moon followers behind them.

Mia nodded slightly: "Yes, that's what I think too."

After saying that, they prepared to leave.

But Mia was stunned and stood there motionless when she saw Wang Yu.

"Hey, aren't you leaving? Do you want to die here?"

Wang Yu remained unresponsive, as she was listening to the whisper of the voice in her mind.

"Go and bring that thing back." This was the order from Jie Sheng.

After these days of hard work, his field of vision has increased to a radius of five meters, but that's not the point. The point is that just now, he sensed several strange fluctuations of divine power.

Besides the power of the Blood Lion and the Gale Vine, there was also a vast and complex, yet subtle, divine power fluctuation. It was definitely not a fluctuation that could be emitted by ordinary things; it must be some kind of precious and peculiar thing.

"Excellent research material."

So he whispered to Wang Yu, "If you get that thing, you can redeem half of your brother's soul."

Wang Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this, but immediately realized the difficulty involved, and her face turned deathly pale: "How could I possibly snatch anything from this monster?"

In response, Jie Sheng said, "The black box will protect your safety, but only this once."

His field of vision is not just a simple field of vision, but represents the scope of his ability to interfere in this world. The so-called field of vision is merely a basic feedback of his ability to interfere.

Jie Sheng could easily exaggerate and say that the space within this area is his divine kingdom!

In theory, anything within this range can be affected by the black box. The simplest way to use it is to expand the original range of the black box's capabilities, decomposing everything that enters this range into the chaotic origin, or directly turning it into nothingness.

Jie Sheng hadn't done this before, simply because there was no need for it, since the black box still needed to be used by the holder.

"Aren't you coming with us?! If you wait any longer, your body will be invaded by this abnormal divine power, and you'll be transformed into a monster!"

Mia was still trying to persuade Wang Yu, after all, the other party was in danger because of her, and she had her own pride and would not allow her to abandon her.

Her attendant, however, had a different opinion: "Lady Mia, ignore that scavenger. These scavengers frequently enter and leave abnormal areas; they're probably not quite right in the head."

In the brief moment they hesitated, a group of blood-red figures quietly appeared.

Plans couldn't keep up with changes, and they were caught up: "Damn it, they're here!"

In the blink of an eye, the Blood Moon Cultists successfully surrounded them. In front of them were numerous Blood Moon Cultists, and behind them was a battlefield raging with wind. Either side represented death.

"Hehehe, Your Excellency Mia, it seems you've lost your mind too. Are you so eager to die that you can't wait?"

The Blood Moon Cultists were overjoyed. They had not only managed to deal with the daughter of the Strange Stone City administrator, but also managed to hunt down two extraordinary creatures. This trip was truly worthwhile.

However, at that very moment, a sudden change occurred.

Cluck! Cluck!

A large number of crows had gathered in the sky, their numbers so great that they blotted out the sun and cast a shadow on the ground, completely covering the open space where the Gale Vine was located.

Upon seeing the emerald green light at the center of the Gale Vine, the crows began to caw incessantly, calling to their companions.

At this moment, all the crows in this ruin gathered here and resolutely launched an attack on the Gale Vine!

The strongest among them is only at the first level, so it's obviously a pipe dream to think they can deal with the Gale Vine. But that's clearly not their goal.

They transformed their bodies into jet-black arrows, striving to break through the defenses of the Gale Vines and buy even a second of time for their companions.

They've gone mad!

The Gale Vine once again went into a berserk state, its countless vines lashing out in a dense, impenetrable mass, turning into streaks of green afterimages. Each loud thud was the death of one of the crows.

Unfortunately, the gap in raw power cannot be bridged by sheer numbers. The Gale Vine instinctively unleashed a vast and extraordinary divine power, forcefully infecting all life around it.

Wang Yu clutched her chest, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her mouth.

"Ugh~"

But she couldn't hold it in any longer; the intense stimulation from the abnormal divine power invading her body caused her to vomit.

A powerful being, simply by existing there, exudes a divine power that ordinary people cannot tolerate.

Every anomalous creature is a massive source of divine power contamination. Unless you are a chosen one of that pantheon, possessing the corresponding divine power, otherwise…

Wang Yu suddenly felt an unbearable tingling and itching all over her body, as if every cell had come alive and gained independent consciousness.

Her physique seemed to have become stronger, but also more difficult to control.

"Ouch! My hand!"

Wang Yu let out a scream. She looked down at her right hand and saw that a layer of tiny, downy fleshy tentacles had grown on her skin, constantly wriggling and twisting. This was the contamination from the Blood-Rotting Lion.

It is estimated that if she stays for a while longer, she will completely lose control of her body and become part of the abnormal creature.

Mia and her attendants were in no better shape, stubbornly resisting by circulating their divine power.

The Blood Moon followers fared much better. They were enveloped in a hazy red light and were not greatly affected, after all, there were also third-tier transcendents among them.

The Blood Moon cultists stood there with mocking expressions, quietly awaiting Mia's death, their hands swirling with blood-red light, ready to record the scene of her collapse.

They couldn't wait to see the magistrate of Strangestone City go mad as his daughter gradually turned into a monster.
