Chapter 3

……

Under Nan Feng's pestering, Bibi Dong had no choice but to agree to try it for him.

If possible, Bibi Dong also hoped to take Nan Feng out with her. After all, in this godforsaken place called the City of Slaughter, anyone with a remotely normal brain couldn't stay here.

She had only been here for less than three years. If it weren't for Nan Feng, a normal person, always being by her side and helping her suppress the influence of the killing intent, she didn't know what kind of monster she would have become.

"You need to think clearly. With this method, once a problem occurs, you will explode," Bibi Dong warned.

A Spirit Master's cultivation is a gradual process. This kind of method of rapidly improving through devouring not only leaves huge hidden dangers for oneself but is also very dangerous.

Nan Feng felt that his own healing ability should be able to withstand this violent energy impact, thereby obtaining a rapid improvement in a short period of time, but this process...

"I know," Nan Feng sat on the ground.

"Let's start."

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, released the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, and inserted the ink-green spider legs growing from behind her into the body of a Fallen One she had just caught from outside.

Devouring was activated, and the unconscious Fallen One immediately let out a painful roar that echoed through the soul.

"Uh... couldn't you kill him before sucking?" Nan Feng felt a bit intimidated.

He was visibly shriveling up!

"Once a Spirit Master in the City of Slaughter dies, everything they have will be devoured by the City of Slaughter," Bibi Dong said.

"I can only plunder a portion while they are alive. If they were dead, I wouldn't be devouring their power, but competing with the City of Slaughter for energy. The difficulty is too high."

"Oh..." Nan Feng covered his ears and turned away.

It was so damn creepy! In his previous life, he hadn't even seen a dead person; he could be scared just by someone killing a pig next door, so how could he handle this kind of scene? "Scared?" Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow.

"Nonsense," Nan Feng said, speechless.

He was a good youth who grew up in a peaceful era, not one of those brain-damaged, perverted murderers from the Tang clan. Wasn't it normal to be scared when seeing this kind of scene?

When he first landed, seeing the bones and remains everywhere, along with all sorts of exaggerated scenes, it almost gave him a nervous breakdown! "But you'll be like him next," Bibi Dong said seriously.

"I've never tried to infuse energy into someone else's body using the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, but I can be sure that this method will cause great damage to your body, and..."

"Don't say any more, just infuse it first," Nan Feng interrupted.

"If you keep talking, I'll probably lose the nerve."

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment, "I'll start slowly first, you feel it out. If you can't hold on..."

"Come on!" Nan Feng gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.

"I'm coming."

"Come!"

"I'm really coming?"

"Mm!"

"Three..."

"Ah—!!!"

"What about two!!!"

"Oh, forgot, two."

"Damn it!!!"

"Ah!!!"

"I wasn't cursing you!!"

……

Half an hour later, Nan Feng, with dull eyes, was carried back to the bed by Bibi Dong.

"You actually managed to hold on," Bibi Dong said, somewhat incredulously.

Just now, Nan Feng's body was almost about to split open, very similar to those Spirit Masters she had seen before who exploded and died because they absorbed spirit rings beyond their limit. But just as she was about to stop, or even draw that energy back, Nan Feng's healing power actually restored his body that was on the verge of shattering!

Even the Nine Heart Begonia might not have this kind of terrifying healing power, right?

"I held on with my life..." Nan Feng lay on the bed, weak and powerless.

Originally, the power of the Horse Talisman could even eliminate pain, as pain was also a negative effect caused by external forces. But because the energy impact just now was too intense, the power of the Horse Talisman was already barely enough to suppress his body from exploding, and there was simply no extra energy to eliminate the pain.

It hurt too much! He felt like his whole body was transparent!

Reborn!

"I wanted to stop just now, but you were the one who told me not to," Bibi Dong helped Nan Feng wipe away the tears he couldn't control.

"If I stopped, I'd have to suffer through it again, so it's better to just hold on in one go," Nan Feng said.

"Besides, after suffering this kind of pain once, I wouldn't dare to try a second time."

When he didn't know how painful it would be, he could try it, but once he had psychological trauma, he wouldn't dare to try again.

"Does it still hurt?" Bibi Dong looked at Nan Feng, who had dull eyes, with a heavy heart. After all, he was a child she had watched grow up. Three years ago, when they first met, Nan Feng was just a thin, weak little child, snatched back and forth by the Fallen Ones of the City of Slaughter.

In three years, she had almost watched Nan Feng grow from a tiny little thing to about the same size as her now.

"It doesn't hurt," Nan Feng curled his body up.

After the infusion ended, his Horse Talisman didn't need to suppress his body from exploding. After stabilizing the violent foreign energy in his body, his pain was eliminated.

However, while physical pain could be eliminated, psychological trauma couldn't be eliminated for a while.

"Hm?"

Feeling the softness on his face and the milky fragrance drifting into his nasal cavity, Nan Feng subconsciously opened his eyes, only to find that his eyes were covered by Bibi Dong's hand.

"Don't move around," Bibi Dong's expression was somewhat unnatural.

"Also, close your eyes."

"Can I move my hands?"

"You want to try?"

"..."

……

I don't know how much time passed, Nan Feng slowly opened his eyes; Bibi Dong had already left the room.

This was probably the most peaceful sleep he had had since coming to this world.

"Three years of effort, it's finally time for the harvest," Nan Feng sat up from the bed and stretched.

Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets their mind to it; as long as you find the right direction, there is no heart you cannot pry open.

The so-called "simp" who ends up with nothing is just a group of self-righteous idiots.

If you don't find the right direction and only know how to use brute force, what's the use? "I did it all for your own good," "I've done this much, are you still not happy..."

Listen to that, what kind of brain-damaged speech is that?

In everything, you have to find the right direction and use your brain. If blind effort were useful, the world's richest person would be those mules that worked themselves to death.

"Monkey Talisman, to what extent can it change?"

A phantom of a little monkey appeared in Nan Feng's eyes.

Monkey Talisman, myriad transformations!

A white energy light instantly covered Nan Feng's whole body. After a twist and change, Nan Feng's figure disappeared, replaced by a small black cat less than thirty centimeters long.

"Meow?" Nan Feng lowered his head and raised his right hand—it should be a paw now.

The transformation was no problem; let's see if there were any problems with movement.

Feeling his somewhat awkward body, Nan Feng leaped.

"Meow!!"

"Xiao Feng?"

Hearing the commotion, Bibi Dong rushed over quickly.

Looking at the small black cat that had fallen to the ground, its limbs somewhat twisted, not knowing where it came from, Bibi Dong subconsciously completed her Martial Soul Possession.

There were no cats in the City of Slaughter! "Meow!!"

A flash of light passed, and Nan Feng hurriedly changed back, clutching his waist with a painful expression as he stood up.

"Don't attack! It's me!"

Damn! A cat's body balance is controlled by its tail!

He didn't know how! His body had changed, but it was like getting a new body; he didn't know how to use it!

"You..." Bibi Dong looked at Nan Feng, who had changed from a cat, in a daze.

"Is this your martial soul? Or a spirit skill?"

"Should count as a spirit skill, right?" Nan Feng's heart moved, and his body was once again covered with a layer of white light. After a twist and change, a blood-sucking bat, the hallmark of the City of Slaughter, appeared before Bibi Dong.

Well, a bat that couldn't fly.

No wonder the Demon Lord basically didn't use this talisman ability; for every form you change into, you have to start from scratch to adapt to that body; it's useless.

But for him now, this ability was the only way for him to escape the City of Slaughter.

If he could turn into a kitten, he could also turn into a bat, so he could turn into an ant! Turn into a bug!

He didn't believe this Hell Road had a built-in screening ability! Bibi Dong looked at the little bat in front of her with a strange expression, "The method you mentioned, could it be..."

Nan Feng's heart moved, and he changed back into human form again.

"Since humans can't leave this godforsaken place, then I won't be a human!"
