Chapter 296 The body is polluted

The monster's figure passed by the window, its dark and gloomy aura almost blending into the night outside.

There is no trace of the human appearance at all.

The claw-shaped hands stabbed straight at Qin Baiqing, and a gurgling sound came from its throat. Its outline was different from any monster Qin Baiqing had seen before.

It was more like… She perked up, feeling sick at her own thoughts.

It looks very much like a human-shaped creature that was forced into an indistinguishable monster. The two have merged together, and it has the characteristics of a monster, but still retains most of the human's hands and feet, but has become terrifying.

The most important thing is that he encountered this monster of unknown origin when he had no cultivation and was at his weakest.

"Ugh……"

She held her breath and waited for the medicine to approach. During this time, she rolled up her sleeves and sighed: "I can only forgive Feng Budu for the time being."

Feng Budu once taught him the art of body training.

At that time, Qin Baiqing just felt that he couldn't stand her sleeping all day, and felt ugly jealous, so she wanted to find something for herself to do and keep him busy.

She still thinks so now, but now she has to use what Feng Budu once taught her to save her life, so Qin Baiqing can only put aside the recent grudge with Feng Budu for the time being.

Temporary unilateral reconciliation.

The monster pounced on Qin Baiqing following her scent. The sultry breath gushed out of the monster's nostrils, making Qin Baiqing so nauseated that she almost fell backwards.

She dodged sideways, grabbed the monster's "arm" and pushed it down, then pulled it back with force. With a "crack", the monster's bones broke and an "arm"-shaped limb hung limply.

The monster roared in pain. Qin Baiqing had already taken the opportunity to go around behind it and directly picked up the door bolt as thick as Feng Rong's calf and smashed it on the back of the monster's head.

After a loud thud, the monster fell to the ground.

There was a creaking sound behind him, and the door with the bolt removed opened a crack. Qin Baiqing's face, which had just relaxed, instantly turned into fear. She hurriedly put the bolt back on, isolating herself from the outside world, and then leaned against the door and gasped.

"I'm scared... Feng Rong said there are monsters outside as well."

If there are a few more, I really won’t be able to do anything about it.

She looked at the motionless Feng Rong monster, her heart skipped a beat, and she realized something. She carefully stuck to the window and looked out.

It took her vision a while to adjust to the pitch-black night. She blinked and struggled to make out a few darker shadows, whose shapes were almost the same as Feng Rong.

It seems that at night, everyone will turn into monsters...?
"Is the system here? Help me guard this room and don't let the monsters outside in."

The system responded and dutifully guarded the door, only to find that the monster outside had no intention of approaching and was just wandering around aimlessly.

The monster outside the house posed no threat, but the monster inside the house moved, as if it was about to wake up.

"System, do you have anything that can freeze him? Freeze him for me!"

Before the monster could even get up, it was firmly fixed in place by the system, with its body remaining in the position of struggling to get up.

...The system is still reliable.

Qin Baiqing leaned against the wall cautiously, breathing a sigh of relief after surviving the disaster.

She waited for a while, confirmed that the monster was indeed unable to move, sat down on a chair not far from the monster, and began to think about the current situation.

"System," she stroked her chin, thoughtfully, "My cultivation and spiritual power have all been suppressed. Now I am just a mortal and cannot mobilize spiritual energy... But you and your tools also need spiritual energy."

Although her cultivation was gone, her eyesight was still there. The moment the monster was immobilized, she clearly saw a subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy flashing around the monster.

However, because I have lost my cultivation now, I cannot see clearly. The subtlety of it is so great that ordinary people would think it is just an eye illusion.

"There's more."

She continued, interrupting the system's hesitation: "The things in the system all appeared out of thin air. They were all transformed by the Heavenly Dao using its origin. The only force in the world that can fight against your things is the Heavenly Dao itself."

But coincidentally, this small world has both the old and new Heavenly Daos, so that the Heavenly Dao represented by the system does have an opponent.

"So the monster that Feng Rong turned into might be related to the old Heavenly Dao?"

But he also has the power of Heaven, so why is it suppressed and his cultivation is completely lost? However, the system, as the will of Heaven, can be used as usual.

"Why?" she asked the system unconvinced.

If I had some skills, I wouldn't have to stay in the room and wait for dawn to deal with a monster like this that could be knocked out with just one blow.

[Host, because you are not the first host of the system. ]

The system's flat voice seemed to be tinged with helplessness, and explained to Qin Baiqing: "If the first host came, it could be used. Your mother was the first person chosen by the Heavenly Dao. You are only the second host. Strictly speaking, the power of the Heavenly Dao has not completely become your power."

In the illusion outside where there is abundant spiritual energy and the new Heavenly Dao is in control, Qin Baiqing can naturally use the power of Heavenly Dao.

But now, the world before my eyes...

"What you mean is," Qin Baiqing thought about what the system said, and finally said in a cold voice: "The city within the city in the barrier is a separate world controlled by the old heavenly way?"

[The barrier is self-contained, and can be called a separate small world. This place is indeed well controlled by the old Heavenly Dao.]

"Then there is an explanation for these monsters."

Qin Baiqing approached the monster, raised the candle and looked at it with an unpleasant expression, trying to suppress the discomfort of seeing such a strange thing, and guessed: "Are the monsters here all strange creatures born under the influence of the old Heavenly Dao?"

To be more precise, the old way of heaven is the pollution.

High-level cultivators, such as Duan Yao, have such a close relationship with pollution that they use it to cultivate, but they themselves show no signs of being affected and their minds remain clear.

The middle-level cultivators, such as Hua Mu Yao who was seen first, and the many disciples who were affected by the pollution later, their cultivation was not strong enough. Once they were exposed to the pollution, it was only a matter of time before their minds were affected, and they would all be swallowed by the pollution in the end.

And now...

This is the result of mortals being polluted.

"The people here have no cultivation. They are affected by the pollution and have no power to protect themselves. As a result, they are transformed into monsters that look like human beings and completely lose themselves."

High-level monks are almost unaffected.

Ordinary monks will affect their sanity.

Mortals also have to undergo changes in their physical bodies.

"The weaker the people, the more powerless they are in the face of the old way of heaven. According to Feng Rong, this place has existed for many years. If people turn into monsters every day, how can it run smoothly for so many years?"

"So, there must be someone behind this, I might have found the right place!"

The inky black night faded a little, Qin Baiqing was full of energy, took a deep breath to gather his strength: "When the day breaks, I will go to find the world core that maintains this place."
