Chapter 444: Sacrifice Formation

By the time the few female lions reacted, purple light rays were already shooting toward them overwhelmingly.

After a burst of miserable screams, five second-stage demon beasts fell to the ground and died. The remaining few small lions.

Immediately fled in all directions. Lin Zhangqing thought for a moment and still let them find a way to live, because among them, two should have been born not long ago.

They were barely early-first-stage and could be captured and cultivated as spirit pets, but to be honest.

Lin Zhangqing didn't take a fancy to them now. If he took them back to the inner space for Xu Meiniang and Zhao Liyu and the others, he was afraid the resources consumed for cultivation would be too great! So he thought about it and simply gave up, letting them fend for themselves. When there were more suitable ones later, he would consider leaving them for them! He used his flying sword to add a finishing blow to all the second-stage demon beasts, then cut open their bellies to find the demon cores, and stored everything else directly.

He prepared to process them when he rested at night. The most important thing now was not to delay too much time and continue on his way.

In fact, he had also considered bringing out Lu Youqiang and Lu Youguang and letting them use the Wind Escape Technique to carry him on his way, which could also save his mana.

But after considering it, he decided to forget it. There was no need to be so high-profile, and the situation hadn't reached such an urgent point.

After turning around in the vicinity and finding no traces of any spirit objects, he left the territory of the Red-Armored Gale Lion family.

This secret realm was dominated by mountain ranges and hilly terrain, so sometimes, finding spirit objects also required some luck.

But Lin Zhangqing didn't have so much time to waste here, so he could only give up and continue to rush toward the southeast.

Another two or three hours passed. Along the way, Lin Zhangqing hunted and killed three second-stage demon beasts again, and the sky had already darkened.

He hurriedly found a relatively hidden place, set up the Small Five Elements Illusion Array, and then released all the first-stage and second-stage Purple Crystal Scorpions.

He arranged them into a three-layer three-dimensional defense, and then summoned Chu Yi down, fed it demon beast meat and Spirit Nurturing Pills, and sent it back to the spirit beast bracelet to rest.

It was still needed during the day, and roaming at high altitude for a long time was also quite hard, so it must rest well at night.

Then he released all the second-stage demon beast corpses hunted today and began to bleed, skin, and pull tendons, separating all the spirit materials that could be used on their bodies.

The tendons, bones, and skin of second-stage demon beasts were all materials that could be used to refine spiritual artifacts. Whether they were used to exchange for spirit stones or given to Hu Yunna to practice, they were all very good choices.

And the harvest today was not bad. Without specifically looking for second-stage demon beasts to hunt, he had obtained ten second-stage demon cores. As long as he encountered that kind of sacrifice formation.

Sacrificing these ten demon cores would allow him to exchange for a departure mark, which could be considered as completing the first task and preparing a retreat.

How far he could go in the secret realm for the rest depended on his own ability and means! After finishing the separation work of the demon beast spirit materials and storing the things in categories.

Lin Zhangqing took out the spoils of war from killing the Ghost Controlling Sect cultivator today, three storage bags and some odds and ends.

These odds and ends were all found on that cultivator. To be honest, he didn't see any use for them, but not taking them would be a waste, so he took them along the way.

Refining the three storage bags didn't take much time, and they were successfully refined very quickly.

The three storage bags contained different types of things in categories. One contained five demon beasts. Lin Zhangqing recognized them as Earth Armored Rhinoceroses.

And two large and three small ones should be a family. It was very obvious that it should be the first nest of demon beasts hunted by that Ghost Controlling Sect cultivator after entering the secret realm.

However, Lin Zhangqing didn't find any wounds on them, only two wounds on the bellies of the two second-stage Earth Armored Rhinoceroses where the demon cores were taken. The others were very complete. It was worth mentioning that all the demon beasts had a slightly shriveled feeling. After Lin Zhangqing checked.

He discovered that all the blood on their bodies had disappeared, and he was guessing in his heart.

After those few spirit ghosts devoured the souls of the demon beasts, did they not even let go of their blood and devoured it together!

Although he didn't have a special understanding of the Ghost Controlling Sect's means, he still felt a chill at this kind of eerie method.

He spent some more time skinning and pulling tendons on the five Earth Armored Rhinoceroses, two large and three small.

Subsequently, he stored them in categories, and then looked at the second storage bag. He couldn't understand this storage bag; it was all bottles and jars.

After Lin Zhangqing took out a few and opened them, he discovered that many of them were unknown blood. He felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but guess whether these things were specifically used to feed spirit ghosts!

He felt very uncomfortable, so he put them all back as they were. The last storage bag was relatively normal.

As long as she made a little more effort, she would be able to gather forty demon cores. Then the excess could all be handed over to Lin Zhangqing.

This way, she could also help him, to see if she could strive for the final opportunity, so she could also be considered to have played a little role and helped him with a small favor!

There were seven or eight types of spirit herbs of varying quantities in the jade boxes, followed by several identity jade tokens covered in cracks, and more than ten jade slips.

However, after Chen Ziya checked them, she threw them all to the side. Many were jade slips introducing the trial secret realm.

The rest were all kinds of cultivation notes, which had no effect on her. Except for these, she harvested dozens of materials and essence blood from second-stage demon beasts.

But only a little demon beast meat was found. It was estimated that they kept it for themselves to eat, and the others should have been discarded by them!

Finally, there was a pile of daily necessities, as well as clothes and sundries. She thought about it and specifically found a storage bag.

Packed these sundries and that spiritual artifact coffin together, then came out of the camp, dug a deep pit, and buried the storage bag.

After doing these things, she went back and stored the things in categories into her own storage bag.

Having harvested so many spirit objects, her mood was really great! She especially wanted to rendezvous with Lin Zhangqing earlier, and she wanted to share her harvest with him.

And some people were happy, naturally some were sad. Song Yuran was forced to leave the purple bamboo forest by Lin Zhangqing yesterday evening.

In fact, at that time, she didn't run too far. After all, it was more dangerous in the secret realm at night. After flying out forty or fifty li, she found a hidden place to camp.

Early the next morning, she didn't stay too long. After packing up, she advanced toward the southeast and also harvested two or three demon cores along the way.

However, her luck was really bad! She actually encountered a Blood Shadow Sect cultivator. After Song Yuran fought him for a few rounds, she knew she wasn't his match.

Because the blood-system cultivation method was really too eerie. In desperation, she thought of the "Senior Brother Gao" she met yesterday!
