Chapter 25 - Spirit

In this group of monsters that seemed to be walking mountains of flesh, there were small thin figures on their left shoulder…

They were only about half a meter tall and had thin figures, like skin and bones. If one did not observe carefully, it was very difficult to discover these thin humans on the shoulder of the mountain of flesh!

They were the true rulers of the rouges!

"Spirits!"

Su Mu was somewhat surprised. The mastermind behind the Rogue were actually Spirits!

Spirits were the most difficult monster to deal with in the first era.

They were carried by monsters known as "Plagues".

Although the Plagues were slow, they were huge and had thick skin. Moreover, their body emitted a nauseating aura all the time.

However, these disgusting auras were the mental food of rogues. The more they absorbed, the more addicted they would become.

Spirits, on the other hand, were different. In this wilderness, they were like true foreign species. They were thin and small, but their brains were abnormally developed.

With this brain, Spirits controlled the Plagues to become their slaves and created batches of inhumane and stronger rogues through the Plagues.

Spirits were also a nightmare for players because their thoughts were evolving too quickly!

The siege method that was still very crude today might be improved tomorrow.

The players were tortured by these Spirits.

Recalling the information in his mind, Su Mu's expression became somewhat ugly.

The appearance of monsters like Spirits and Plagues was both reasonable and unreasonable.

He recalled that in the chronicle about the first era he had once read about, it was said that the first time Spirits and Plagues appeared in the wilderness was around 01000.

Before this, the rogues were only a group of people who were chased out by the tribe and chose to take revenge on the tribe.

Before Spirits and Plagues intervened, Su Mu remembered that according to the chronicles he had checked, the group of rogues had not really lost their humanity. Moreover, this group was especially united.

After the appearance of the Spirits and the Plagues, the rogues had already become another creature. They had lost their humanity and had become true beasts.

Su Mu was somewhat puzzled. The historical development this time seemed to have deviated from his memory.

He did not know if he had remembered wrongly or if history had really deviated.

In the crack in the cliff wall, Su Mu did not act rashly.

He hid inside and watched the Spirits and Plagues below.

There were a total of eleven Plagues. They arrived at the venue where these rogues lived and surrounded them, standing side by side.

They seemed to be holding some mysterious ritual…

Actually, that was not the case.

Su Mu knew what they were doing. Because the body of a Spirit was too weak, they did not even have the strength to speak loudly.

Therefore, these 11 Plagues were gathered to let the Spirits communicate more clearly…

A moment later.

A moment later, these eleven huge Plagues spread out.

Under the Spirits' instructions, they violently opened the residences of the rogues.

According to the instructions, they grabbed the injured and somewhat old rogues inside rudely.

Without any reason, they directly crushed them to death and absorbed them as nourishment.

After absorbing it, the aura on the Plagues' bodies became a little stronger…

The stench deepened.

Two hours later, after this group of Spirits instructed the Plagues to screen the rogues, they pulled out a group of stunned rookie rogues from a huge cave.

The Spirits commanded the Plagues to cut off a piece of meat from their abdomen before stuffing it roughly into the mouths of those rogues.

After the rookie rogues swallowed the meat of the plague, the aura on their bodies changed, and the trace of deep clarity in their eyes slowly disappeared.

They lowered their heads and made strange sounds.

After all the rookie rogues swallowed the meat of the Plague, the Spirit on one of the Plague's shoulders opened its mouth.

"At dawn, only 20 people will survive."

With that said, one Spirit and one Plague were left behind to guard. The remaining ten Plagues brought the Spirits and walked into the depths of the mountain stream…

This time, there were more than 100 rookie rogues who had swallowed the meat of the Plague. It was a ratio of 5 to 1!

The massacre began…

In the mountain stream.

Su Mu quietly followed behind the ten Plagues in front of him and arrived deep in the mountain stream.

The terrain here was narrow and small. Dozens of bare but thick trees grew on the cliff.

On some trees hung a wooden house about ten square meters. This was the Spirits' resting place.

The Spirits were carried by the Plagues and carefully sent to their wooden houses.

Then, the Spirits entered the wooden house. This group of huge Plagues was chased to an entrance of the mountain stream by the Spirits and the others and was in charge of guarding the entrance.

After the Plagues left, the Spirits washed their bodies over and over again with the river water stored in the wooden house.

It was as if they despised the stench of the Plagues that had tainted their bodies.

There was even a spirit who kept cursing as it washed.

Su Mu, who was hiding outside the spirit wooden house, heard all of this clearly.

With the help of the moonlight, Su Mu's figure flashed and he quietly sneaked into the wooden house…

Before the Spirit could react, he had already thrown a punch…

Bang!

The Spirit transformed into a headless corpse. Its head was like dazzling fireworks…

Su Mu skillfully stretched out his hand towards the dead Spirit's body…

[Obtained cultivation technique: Spirit (3)]

"Alright!"

Su Mu heaved a sigh of relief. His bold actions this time had not been in vain.

Spirit, high level cultivation technique fragment.

After gathering them, he could use them for comprehension.

This time, the things the Spirits dropped were the same as in his previous life. There was no historical deviation.

With a smooth start, Su Mu's figure swayed repeatedly. The heads of the Spirits turned into dazzling fireworks under his punch.

[Obtained cultivation technique: Spirit (1)]

[Obtained cultivation technique: Spirit (10)]

After killing a total of ten Spirits, Su Mu obtained ten different Spirit cultivation technique fragments.

He was still 10 fragments away from completing the combination requirement of the Spirit cultivation technique.

high level cultivation technique…

Su Mu knew that a cultivation technique of this quality could not be rushed.

Now, it was only his first time and he had already completed the most difficult Spirit cultivation technique fragment. He was already very happy.

After all, a cultivator of a high level cultivation technique could already be considered as a powerful figure in the tribe.

As for a strange cultivation method such as the Spirit cultivation technique, Su Mu was originally prepared to try his luck with it. He did not expect to encounter Spirits that specialized in Spirit.

After dealing with the Spirits in the ten wooden houses, Su Mu looked at the entrance of the mountain stream.

He was also very tempted by the ten Plagues at the entrance. After some thought, Su Mu finally decided to give up.

Unlike Spirits, who he could kill with a punch, Plagues were much harder to deal with. After encountering a Plague, the time Su Mu needed to spend to kill the other party was ten times longer.

If this dragged on, the crazy rogues would surround him.

This was inconsistent with the plan he had set in the beginning. He was still prepared to play it safe.

He would wait for the other tribes to arrive.

He quietly used the Earth Element Breathing Technique and left the cliff above a Plague's head, returning to the crack in the cliff at the beginning.

When Su Mu returned, only 19 of the more than 100 initial rogues still survived. These people lived in stone houses or cliff caves under the Spirits' arrangements.

Watching these people leave, Su Mu thought to himself, "No wonder this team of rogues can sweep through the wilderness. They go through a selection process and have to strive for perfection!"

After turning around and reminding the black egg to wake him up if anything happened, he entered cultivation to replenish his rest.

In the Nameless Tribe.

Warriors who had gone to the mountain stream to investigate had returned.

Then, the ten tribe captains hurriedly went to the stone house.

"Sir, we've completed the investigation on the rogue organization!"
