Chapter 543 The Beginning of Evil
After chatting for a while, Ren Zu turned the topic to Jiang Shi.
"The Xiantian human race...what an ancient name."
The sturdy human looked at the monster tied to the tree, which was almost four meters tall, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He was born in an era when the innate human race was extinct, and his knowledge of the innate human race only existed in legends and stories.
"Neither life nor death, why bother to go back?"
Ren Zu waved his hand, and the mysterious beast tendon that bound Jiang Shi fell off, turned into a belt, and returned to Ren Zu's waist.
Jiang Shi was freed. He howled softly, showing his fangs. He glared at Li Yuan fiercely, then turned and ran into the forest at night.
"senior......"
Li Yuan was a little worried.
Jiang Shi had been sealed by him for such a long time and was extremely hungry. It might be very dangerous for ordinary creatures.
Ren Zu smiled slightly, with a calm expression on his upright face:
"Don't panic. There are no human beings in this starry land... Let me see its nature."
Li Yuan nodded, and the two of them set off together, disappearing into the darkness, following Jiang Shi from a distance.
Jiang Shi was seen running wildly in the mountains and forests like a wild beast, leaving behind a black mist-like evil aura wherever he passed.
Only after he rushed far away in a rage did Jiang Shi stop in a daze.
It could not sense any living creatures and had no targets to attack. There was also some residual consciousness in its brain that prevented it from wandering.
Li Yuan had previously buried it in the earth, sealed and tempered it with the power of the sun in the sky and the yin in the earth for a long time, trying to awaken its humanity in its lifetime, but it ultimately caused some effects.
Jiang Shi's self-awareness struggled instinctively.
On the one hand, it wants to wander around looking for living things to absorb their life essence; on the other hand, its remaining consciousness is calling out: darkness and killing are not its destination!
Thus, it became stuck with 'itself', like a frozen corpse, standing there motionless.
In the vast darkness, in the silent mountain forest, there was a humanoid monster about three or four meters tall, with red eyes, fangs, and a body covered with black hair. It was half hidden in the darkness, standing motionless like a wooden stake. Just standing there was enough to cause fear to most living creatures.
Ren Zu and Li Yuan hid in the distance, watching Jiang Shi's condition, and couldn't help but discuss it in deep thought.
With the power of Ren Zu, their voices cannot be detected by Jiang Shi.
Li Yuan told Renzu all the information he knew, including Jiang Shi's life experience and transformation after death.
Ren Zu pondered, looking at Jiang Shi who was silent and motionless, and said slowly:
"Maybe...he is the beginning of some kind of path."
Li Yuan stared for a long time, and recalled the words that had been buried in his memory for a long time.
Jiang Shi’s current appearance and bloodthirsty characteristics are almost exactly the same.
zombie.
Could it be that this strange and evil thing appeared from now on and was born from his hands?
However, it is obvious that Jiang Shi surpasses the ordinary zombies of later generations and is more powerful.
It has a strong body and tough skin, but its joints are not stiff, so it can move at will like a swift beast.
Extreme bloodthirstiness brings about a terrible desire to kill.
As long as there is enough life essence, it can continue to strengthen and may even undergo special evolution.
If Li Yuan had not previously activated the formation diagram and used the power of the sun totem to forcibly carve a weakness of 'fear of sunlight' into the Jiang Stone when sealing it.
Perhaps, this monster will massacre the world and cause endless karma and disaster.
Moreover, Li Yuan was worried that sooner or later, Jiang Shi would develop the terrible ability of "infection"...
In the mountains and forests.
The sound of rustling feet broke the silence.
Creatures that were accustomed to the eternal night slowly approached where Jiang Shi was.
It was a four-eyed beast similar to a black wolf, full of blood, fierce and powerful.
The beast's life force startled Jiang Shi and broke his self-stalemate.
The desire to find living things and absorb their life essence instantly overwhelmed Jiang Shi's self-awareness.
Its body did not move, but its scarlet eyes moved inch by inch and locked onto the four-eyed black wolf.
The strange black wolf with four eyes sniffed lightly, as if sensing some danger, and began to retreat in panic even though it was hundreds of meters away.
But... Jiang Shi moved.
It stared at the black wolf, its fangs slowly emerging from its mouth.
He raised his hands lightly, and in almost an instant, he disappeared from the spot.
It turned into a blurry black shadow, like a sweeping black wind, and soon and silently chased after the black wolf.
In order to prevent the black wolf from fleeing desperately, Jiang Shi flew almost horizontally, drifting through the forest in the dark night. His sharp black nails stretched out and almost touched the black wolf's tail, which was a bit creepy.
Even though the black wolf had four eyes, it seemed unable to detect Jiang Shi's approach. Without noticing any specific danger, it slowly moved away from him.
It was not until the black-haired monster almost stuck to the black wolf and clamped its sharp claws tightly on the black wolf's back that the black wolf began to howl in panic.
It even turned around and bit Jiang Shi's arm, which was covered with black hair, fiercely.
However, those teeth that were sharp enough to crush bones couldn't even bite Jiang Shi's skin, as if they were biting on a piece of steel.
Jiang Shi exerted a little force with both hands and lifted up the huge black wolf.
The black wolf's back was pinched by the sharp nails until its bones were almost broken. It was unable to break free and blood was flowing from the wound.
The black wolf howled in pain, but Jiang Shi ruthlessly crushed its skull, as if he was worried that the howl would scare other possible 'prey'.
Looking at the black wolf with warm blood flowing in his hand, Jiang Shi opened his mouth, and wisps of black mist emerged from its fangs.
At this juncture, it seemed to struggle for a moment.
A certain consciousness is calling and blocking!
However, it finally let out a low, cold howl, with a scarlet light flashing in its eyes, and bit the black wolf's neck fiercely.
The huge black wolf's body quickly became shriveled, as if all the blood in its body had been forcibly sucked dry.
The black wolf soon turned into a mummy, and Jiang Shi once again absorbed the life essence from the blood, and underwent a terrible change.
Its black hair seemed to be stained with a hint of blood red, becoming shorter but denser.
Those blood-red hairs began to be stained with some strange energy, as if indicating that Jiang Shi was becoming more and more dangerous at this moment.
And...a faint blood light lingered all over its body, and it learned to fly directly.
Like a wooden stake, with both hands slightly hanging down, it floats horizontally and wanders aimlessly in the mountains and forests, looking for its next prey.
Far behind.
Ren Zu and Li Yuan followed from a distance, both of them frowned slightly.
"There is still some residual will, which will limit my actions."
"But once it is disturbed by a living creature and its blood is sucked, its ferocious nature cannot be suppressed."
"This evil and terrifying speed of evolution..."
Ren Zu's expression was somewhat solemn.
With his vision and ability, the moment he saw Jiang Shi's change, he already understood what a potentially terrifying monster this was.
However, the ancestor of mankind had a premonition that the existence of this evil thing that was not within the path of natural evolution was the result of fate and was a brand new path that was destined to appear.
Li Yuan also had mixed feelings:
"I... can this be considered as creating the first weird creature with my own hands..."
