244: City of SlaughterSo should we cooperate with the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm or kill it directly?
Lu Buliang believed that there would be more benefits to be gained by killing the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Because the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is different from other soul beasts. Although it is a million-year-old soul beast, its strength is very weak.
The original novel said that after the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was trapped in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, it had to release its own heaven and earth energy for the soul beasts to absorb and improve their cultivation, so that it could survive.
In other words, the energy of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is like a magical herb, which can rapidly increase one's cultivation level after being absorbed.
Lu Buliang thought that to kill the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, he didn't need its soul ring at all. He could just absorb its energy directly. This way he could quickly improve his soul power, obtain a million-year-old head soul bone, and seal it in the Shadow Tomb.
Moreover, if the blood-red nine-headed bat king that was parasitic on Tang Chen could be separated and controlled, the blood-red nine-headed bat king could absorb the energy of the Tianmeng ice silkworm, thereby skyrocketing his cultivation level and making the eighth soul ring as old as possible, so that the soul skills produced at that time would be more effective.
As for the powerful beast, the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, Lu Buliang wanted to wait until he was strong enough to challenge it. After defeating it, he could make it become his third martial soul or an external soul bone related to the eyes by devouring and sacrificing it, just like he persuaded the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Dark Blue Silver Emperor.
According to the original description, since the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm hid in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, it has been scheming against many powerful soul beasts, and has become cunning and wise after going through many hardships.
Therefore, unless it shows up in person, it is definitely not easy to find it.
Fortunately, the ghost soldiers inherited Lu Buliang's abilities. Not only can they use the perspective of their heterochromatic pupils, they can also use their first soul skill to lock shadows.
Once the ghost soldiers get close to the hiding place of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm will have nowhere to hide under the eyesight and shadow lock of the strange eyes.
If Lu Buliang trained in the City of Slaughter for a year, it would mean that the two hundred ghost soldiers would have a year to search for soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
By then, let alone the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, even the hometown of the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian who lives in the Xingdou Great Forest, or the other ten ferocious beasts can be turned out, but make sure not to disturb the Soul Beast Lord.
Before sending two hundred ghost soldiers to the Xingdou Great Forest to search for the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Lu Buliang still needed them to perform other tasks, which was to find the location of the City of Slaughter.
According to the news sent back by the ghost soldier living on Tang San's shadow, Tang San is working with the Power Clan and Titan to forge Tang Sect's hidden weapons.
Tang Hao went to the Xingdou Great Forest to look for soul beasts such as the human-faced demon spider, intending to use the most brutal killing to extract the soul bones from the human-faced demon spider.
The human-faced demon spiders were evil spirit beasts, and Tang Hao believed that killing them would not violate the agreement he had made with his wife, A Yin. As long as he could find a spirit bone with the devouring attribute like the Eight Spider Lance, he would not hesitate to exterminate the entire race of human-faced demon spiders in the Xingdou Great Forest.
In addition to this news, the Ghost Soldier also passed on to Lu Buliang the news about the City of Slaughter.
After making the hidden weapon, Tang San seemed to have to enter the City of Slaughter for training. His father Tang Hao had mentioned that the City of Slaughter was in the north.
Therefore, Lu Buliang has ordered two hundred ghost soldiers to head north to see if they can find the location of the City of Slaughter.
A few days later.
The ghost soldiers finally got news about the City of Killing in the north.
After dealing with all the matters, Lu Buliang used the spatial attributes to ignore the spatial barriers and exchanged positions with one of the ghost soldiers.
In a flash, he disappeared from the villa near the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire and came to a place with extremely cold temperature.
Just ahead is a small town.
As he entered the town, Lu Buliang felt that the atmosphere around him was a little strange. The residents of the town all had a peculiar chill.
It was the aura of killing. Lü Buliang recalled the aura he had felt from Bibi Dong. This chill was the killing aura that he had cultivated from the City of Slaughter.
He glanced at the crowd around him, and then looked ahead at the endless darkness and coldness. A smile appeared on Lu Buliang's face, "That's right. The Slaughter City should be hidden somewhere here."
After finding the City of Slaughter, Lu Buliang sent two hundred ghost soldiers to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
He walked straight along the street ahead, facing the gazes of the surrounding residents, to see what was different about this town compared to other towns.
The residents around all looked like vicious criminals. If it weren't for the evil spirit protecting Lu Buliang, he would have been frightened by the unfriendly and cold gazes.
Walking straight forward, Lu Buliang arrived at a tavern in the center of the town.
The air in the pub was very turbid. When he stepped into the pub, Lu Buliang discovered that all the decorations here were black, and a feeling of coldness and darkness arose spontaneously.
At this time, about 30% of the guests were sitting in the pub, and no one was talking, so it was very quiet.
Sitting down in the corner of the tavern, Lu Buliang's every move attracted the attention of many guests, but most of them just took a quick glance and passed by him.
A waiter dressed in black and with an indifferent expression came over. "What would you like to order?"
"Is there any wine?" Lu Buliang asked tentatively.
The waiter smiled and said, "Yes. Sir, do you need normal wine or abnormal wine?"
"What kind of wine is this abnormal wine?" Lu Buliang was curious.
The waiter seemed to see that this was Lu Buliang's first time and patiently replied, "Here, everyone calls abnormal wine Bloody Mary."
Hearing this word, Lu Buliang suddenly remembered that in the original work, before Tang Hao brought Tang San to the City of Slaughter for training, they went into a tavern and drank Bloody Mary.
Could this be the tavern that appeared in the original book?
Bloody Mary. Lü Buliang vaguely remembered that this Bloody Mary was not wine, but made from human blood, produced in the City of Slaughter.
In the anime, Bloody Mary seems to be called Huangquanlu.
Lu Buliang hesitated for a moment. He knew what kind of place he was in at the moment. It was a place where wine was made from human blood. It was a paradise for the fallen and a world where people enjoyed killing.
And here is where I am about to begin my training.
As he thought about it, Lu Buliang's face no longer showed the harmony he showed when getting along with others, because there was only killing here, no emotions, and he didn't need to pretend to be a polite gentleman.
"Sir, are you sure?" the waiter asked again, "What would you like to order?"
Lu Buliang smiled and said, "Give me a Bloody Mary."
The waiter's expression changed slightly, "Are you sure?"
"Sure."
After a while, the waiter brought a cup of turbid liquid. The liquid was dark red and had a strong fishy smell, as pungent as blood.
Is this Bloody Mary?
With his heterochromia, Lu Buliang could see the composition of this cup of Bloody Mary. It contained trace amounts of toxins similar to stimulant poisons. When he sniffed it close to his nose, the strong smell of blood instantly filled his sense of smell, which actually gave him a sense of excitement.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This is indeed a cup of human blood!
Lu Buliang's face turned pale instantly. He had killed people but had never drunk human blood. Three years ago, he was just an ordinary Blue Star man. Now, he was asked to drink human blood, and he felt very difficult to get over this hurdle.
No wonder Tang Hao and Bibi Dong are both crazy. It turns out they have both drunk this stuff?
Lu Buliang's hesitant and timid look instantly made the guests around him burst into laughter.
That was a mockery, a mockery of a skinny monkey who dared to step into this tavern. It was simply ridiculous.
"Go home. This is not the place for you!"
"You can't even afford a glass of Bloody Mary, and you still want to be qualified to enter the City of Slaughter?"
"Go home and find your mother to feed you—"
All kinds of insults filled the pub. It seemed that the guests had found a point to vent their repressed emotions and attacked Lu Buliang without reservation.
He really didn't dare to drink this glass of Bloody Mary, but that didn't affect his ability to kill people.
"Kill——" As he flipped the table, the glass of Bloody Mary on the table scattered all over the floor, and a chilling evil aura burst out from Lu Buliang's body.
Before he could make a move, the big man closest to him suddenly jumped up and said, "Useless, I'll kill you first."
After a loud shout, the big man stabbed out with his bull-ear sharp knife spirit from a tricky angle, aiming directly at Lu Buliang's heart. This man was obviously very experienced, and the position of the knife was just enough to penetrate into the gap between Lu Buliang's ribs.
The extreme ice and fire dual soul cores in the body were operating, and an explosive evil energy with extreme hot and cold currents rushed in all directions.
In just a moment, the right half of the body of the big man who pounced on Lu Buliang had been burned beyond recognition by the extreme fire energy, while the left half of the body, along with the blood and flesh, solidified into ice.
The big man was killed by the evil spirit.
Seeing this scene, two big men at the nearby table also became interested. With evil smiles on their faces, they stood up and surrounded Lu Buliang.
"He is my prey! Don't snatch it from me!"
"Get lost! I haven't seen human blood in a long time. This skinny monkey is mine!!"
Just as the two big men were arguing, six gorgeous soul rings fell slowly from above Lu Buliang's head one after another.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black.
The light of the spirit ring filled the entire tavern, and the darkness and evil aura on Lu Buliang was quietly released. No martial soul appeared, only the pure martial soul aura was exposed, making the already dark and cold tavern even more gloomy and cold.
The two big men who surrounded Lu Buliang suddenly changed their arrogant attitude when they saw the six spirit rings. They liked killing and had lost their humanity, but they still retained the fear of things.
The two men stared at the six soul rings spinning under Lv Buliang's feet with trembling eyes, and their eyes were full of horror. "Soul, Soul Emperor?"
Lu Buliang raised his right hand, and a purple soul ring appeared on his palm. That was his third soul ring.
The third soul skill, shadow control and strangulation.
The light of the spirit ring shone brightly, illuminating the shadows of the two big men and all the guests in the tavern clearly.
Just when all the guests were unable to react, the shadows under their feet seemed to come alive. They suddenly rose from the ground, coiled up from under their feet, and tightly strangled their necks.
As Lu Buliang crushed the purple soul ring floating on his palm, the shadows that were strangling each guest's neck also strangled them to death.
