Chapter 326 Hunting and Mercenaries

The honey badger-like monster stared at the colorful snake, with a fierce light in its small eyes.

It stretched out its claws from time to time to scratch the other party. The coiled colorful snake opened its mouth wide, and its upper body trembled, as if it could pounce at any time.

The snake's endurance seemed to be poor. After a tense struggle, it showed a look of fatigue. The honey badger seized the opportunity and suddenly pounced.

A layer of yellow halo appeared on its fur, which was a defensive skill.

The colorful snake sprayed a poisonous mist, blocking the front, and its teeth flashing with cold light bit down fiercely on the body of the honey badger.

The fangs pierced the fur and continuously injected venom. The honey badger made a mistake. It misjudged the state of the snake-shaped monster and failed to bite the opponent's neck, making it unable to fight back.

But it doesn't matter. In addition to defense, it also has a strong immunity to snake venom. However, there are certain risks, and immunity also has a limit.

The two sides entered into a melee, and the honey badger had the upper hand. Before the poison took effect, it successfully tore its opponent into two pieces. It bit the head of the venomous snake and stopped attacking only after it was sure that the opponent was completely dead.

Swallowing such a monster of the same level is extremely beneficial to its growth. It can not only speed up the level increase, but also help it break through the original talent limit and reach a higher level. This is why it is willing to risk its life to hunt such dangerous prey.

Of course, breaking through the limit is only a possibility, which is very small. How can it be so easy to break the shackles of talent?

If it can do this often, every stage of growth is the same, then the originally slim chance will increase a lot.

The honey badger took out a green crystal from the bitten head of the colorful snake. This is its magic core.

The magic core, on the Douqi Continent, is also called magic crystal, and the prototype of elixir, etc. As the name suggests, this is an energy crystal core in the body of the monster, which is filled with extremely violent energy of heaven and earth.

For humans, magic cores usually need to go through a series of processing and be refined into pills before they can be digested and absorbed by humans. However, the body structure of magic beasts is special, unlike humans, and they can be swallowed directly. It's just that the efficiency of energy absorption and utilization is not as high as that of pills.

Not all magic beasts have energy crystals such as magic cores in their bodies. There is a certain probability. This honey badger seems to have good luck.

After eating the magic core, it hugged the body of the snake and began to chew it, as if chewing a big spicy strip.

As it chewed, its body gradually stiffened, twitched and fell to the ground, and then stopped moving.

The immune system in the honey badger's body is fighting fiercely with toxins. In addition to the possibility of death from excessive toxins, when the immune system resists the snake venom, the body will become stiff and unable to respond to the outside world, which is also a major danger.

That's why it is so cautious even though it has immunity.

The spirit worm quickly crawled over... This is the opportunity he was waiting for.

It took advantage of the honey badger-like magic beast being unable to move, and drilled into the other's ear and into the brain.

It exudes a hazy gray light, and its body is slightly illusory, as if it is sinking into the water and slowly sinking, merging with the brain. It grows a series of silk-like tentacles on its body, densely scattered throughout the host's brain, completing the initial parasitism.

Then, the soul worm embedded in the brain began to become illusory, and finally turned into a spirit body.

Although the honey badger could not control its own soul, it still launched a counterattack when it was invaded.

Under Amon's control, the soul worms that split off specialized souls, so their soul strength is higher, more than 20% of the original body.

The soul worm and the soul of the honey badger began to fight... One is not an opponent, and it is difficult to carry out deep parasitism. More soul worms are coming, and they enter the body of the honey badger in the same way, eroding its soul.

The soul of the honey badger resisted desperately, but it still couldn't resist more and more soul worms. Its body twitched slightly and then returned to calm. There was a circle of white circles on the originally black hair around the right eye.

With the efforts of the five spirit worms, the soul of the honey badger was controlled and the deep parasitism was successful. Amon successfully harvested the first puppet with a certain combat power!

With the support of this combat power, the hunting range of Amon and his team has expanded!

In this area where second-level monsters are rare and there are mostly first-level monsters, there is a first-level puppet. He has a lot of room for operation and no longer needs to look for the old, weak, sick, disabled and young.

This honey badger is the strongest combat force under Amon's command now, and naturally became his body's vehicle and bodyguard.

In addition to this honeypot-shaped monster, other spirit worms also have gains. Some successfully ambushed several ordinary crows without any fighting spirit fluctuations, parasitized them, and turned them into puppets.

So Amon has more aerial vision!

Although aerial reconnaissance is not as detailed as the search network formed by spirit worms, the search range is wide enough to easily determine the approximate activity range of certain monsters.

With the honey badger as the nemesis of venomous snakes, Amon naturally focused his search on those venomous snakes...

Listing venomous snakes as targets can not only bring out the honey badger's venom resistance, but also use their venom to challenge stronger targets after successfully parasitizing... Not all monsters have strong venom resistance.

Anyway, it was just a puppet. If it died, it would only mean the loss of a spirit worm. Just let the clone split it... Amon didn't care about the loss of soul at all. With the "soul-eating" talent, he could easily make up for it.

However, the loss of cultivation became a small problem... He didn't have the method of directly devouring other creatures to quickly increase his strength. The growth of cultivation had to rely on honest practice.

Even if the clone didn't have to worry about the foundation and only cared about the present and improved as quickly as possible, it would take a certain amount of time to change the fighting spirit from one section to two sections and then split it.

Half a day later, the snake venom in the honey badger's body had been almost eliminated. Its body seemed to have suffered a lot of trauma and needed to be cultivated. This made Amon give up the idea of ​​using it to hunt the snake monsters that were discovered and monitored by the spirit worms.

A good tool must be used to the maximum extent. Now it is in the initial stage of development and cannot be wasted at all.

...

In the forest in the early morning, a thin mist floated in the forest like a veil, covering the entire forest with a mysterious veil. Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight penetrated the dense leaves, casting golden rays of light.

After the honey badger, Amon obtained four more puppets, two red-bodied snake-shaped monsters with ice attributes, which contained cold poison and had the effect of freezing blood. A short, red-skinned, ugly-looking monkey-like monster. And a bird-like monster with two pairs of wings and a slender body.

Among them, the ape monster is the strongest, having reached the advanced level of the first order. Amon used a full ten spirit insect clones to control it. It also replaced the honey badger and became the favorite puppet of the main body.

Five first-order monsters with a unified will, who would act together, fearless and able to cooperate with each other, are already considered a tyrant in this area where the strength of monsters is generally not strong. In addition, there are poisonous snake monsters in this strange group, so some second-order monsters will not be easily provoked, and Amon's safety problem has been initially solved.

He wanted to continue to expand his group of magic beasts and snatch the first-level herbs that can assist cultivation from other magic beasts to speed up his growth.

However, the accident of this day disrupted his plan. A spirit worm found traces of humans!

After knowing that the world he traveled through was "Battle Through the Heavens" and solving the safety problem of the main body, the question he always cared about was what time it was now.

The sooner he could determine this, the sooner he could make plans and develop himself better and faster.

So, the four-winged bird magic beast set out with a group of crows to find those humans.

As for whether to contact them, it depends on the specific situation.

…………

In the silent forest, a team of people walked quietly, with a pair of vigilant eyes constantly sweeping through the dark places in the surrounding trees, holding the weapons on their waists, ready to deal with the surprise attacks of magic beasts at any time.

High in the sky, the four-winged big bird had sharp eyes and good eyesight through the long distance, tightly locking the mercenary team. It didn't get too close to the mercenary group. A magical beast, even if it was only the first level, would arouse the vigilance of these generally weak mercenaries.

In a closer place, crows with white circles around their eyes were surrounded in groups of three or two in all directions of the team, in front, behind, on the left, and on the right.

A crow stroked its right eye socket with its wings, with an interesting look in its eyes: "Mercenaries... Interesting."

In the center of the mercenary team, there was a handsome young man, obviously the leader of this team. He had no weapons in his hands, and his expression was slightly relaxed compared to the tension of others.

"Deputy Captain Mu She, I have had an ominous feeling since just now, as if I have been stared at by something." The person walking in the front was a little uneasy.

Mu She stopped, looked around, held his breath, and all the others stopped moving, staring at different directions:

"Maybe it's an illusion, let's keep going, the captain has given a death order, we must bring back a wood magic core... You don't want to make the captain angry, right?"

"Well... Of course." One person said embarrassedly.

The captain's temper is not very good, and a first-level wood magic core is not a difficult task. If you can't complete it, you will definitely have a bad time when you go back.

In the forest about a hundred meters away from them, a hunchbacked ape pinched his right eye socket and whispered to himself:

"Mu She? This name seems familiar..."
