Chapter 88: Change of Heart

  Divided into two groups. Let's talk about our old battlefield, where we fought to the death, and he didn't know the situation on the other side of the great priest, nor did he know that his own underlings had already participated in the so-called "making god" plan, and had launched a close cooperation with the great priest who ate people without spitting out bones. Modify the contradictory places in the theory, constantly perfect it, intending to put their plan into action as soon as possible, and after achieving great success, give old Liu a huge "surprise"!

  Unaware of the old Liu is still rejoicing in his own strength. To know, once assimilated with the soul of Fury, thinking about using this power again, naturally it's easy to operate at will, and no longer need to be affected by those negative emotions, making oneself fall into a semi-mad state, unable to control oneself.

  It's like an alchemist in the mainstream world, carefully extracting from a box of unstable chemicals and finally refining a small bottle of essence. Although the two have similar effects, their practicality is vastly different, with a difference of at least a hundred times.

  Originally, Old Liu had three abilities, and after experiencing the third growth, he naturally took Thunder Force as his main ability. With the help of the divine artifact Lei Wang, he could instantly increase his strength by several levels, even killing legendary-level strongmen with ease, extremely powerful. Although Lava Force was not valued by Old Liu and was rarely used, Thunder Fire was still unparalleled in its dominance, ranking second among the three abilities.

  The status of the Domineering Body was somewhat embarrassing. Although it was not inferior to the previous two, it was only used by Old Liu as a defensive armor with extremely strong defense, and could only be used for assistance. Until this time, when avoiding the beastman's strong man Laul, he got his guidance, Old Liu suddenly woke up and began to cultivate the great power hidden in his physical body, constantly striving to kill enemies, seeking a breakthrough, and forging his own will into a sharp edge. Only then did the infinite power hidden in the Golden Web Jade Beast Domineering Body come out, making the treasure no longer dusty.

  Among them, several twists and turns also represent the change in Lao Liu's state of mind. From the confusion and helplessness at birth to the intentional indulgence; to the later sprouting of hope, sucking blood everywhere, stealing abilities; to the later being deceived by the Great Priest, resisting and rejecting the passive evolution; to the great enlightenment of this time, wholeheartedly cultivating, no longer affected by external things. It seems to have experienced several major ups and downs in life, with a huge change in state of mind, leaving people speechless. Although the person is still the same, Lao Liu's mental determination has become no less than that of any iron-blooded warrior. Facing all kinds of things in his life, whether he has experienced them or not, he can face them calmly, without a single trace of retreat.

  He let out a long sigh, and Old Liu patted his somewhat dizzy head, then said to Yinbi who was still standing there in a daze: "Yinbi, come help me up, my legs are all numb and I don't have the strength. Let's get ashore first."

  "Alright, master!" Yin Bi immediately reacted, thinking that Lao Liu had also been injured by the powerful sea clan member and couldn't move. He quickly came over to support Lao Liu, whose legs were cramping up, and swiftly pulled him onto the shore.

  "Not bad! I deliberately pretended to be half-dead, and this kid didn't have any evil intentions, but instead had the idea of snatching the beast ring. Not bad, you truly are loyal to me, and I naturally won't let you down." Old Liu thought to himself, secretly acknowledging Silver Nose as a trusted subordinate.

  After all the experiences and especially after being influenced by the high priest for so long, Old Liu would not be as foolish as before, like a blank slate. He had some mind games going on. The previous battle made him somewhat exhausted, but it wasn't as severe as he claimed, he just wanted to test Silver Nose and see how he would react. Now seeing that Silver Nose was indeed loyal, his doubts were gone, and he showed great affection towards him. He thought about returning to the Barbarian tribe and getting some body-refining techniques from the high priest to give to Silver Nose for cultivation, to boost his strength. However, if Silver Nose had shown even a hint of hesitation or disobedience to Old Liu's orders earlier, he would have been killed on the spot, without leaving any chance for survival. Those kinds of unstable and untrustworthy people were absolutely not allowed to stay. Otherwise, they would be like a time bomb, unpredictable and potentially deadly, waiting to stab you in the back at any moment.

  After resting for a while, he felt that his physical strength had recovered to its peak level. Lao Liu couldn't help but say to Yinbi who was serving beside him: "Yinbi, I need your ability. Quickly help me investigate and find out where the nearest beastman strongman is. Remember, it must be a legendary-level beastman leader." The last sentence, Lao Liu specially emphasized his tone, lest Yinbi would make a mistake.

  "It's simple, a confident smile from Silver Nose, and with just a slight nod in the air, he immediately reports back: "There are thirty-five legendary-level strong auras nearby. Nine of them belong to beastmen. Five of them are gathered together, moving northwest, seemingly trying to break through the encirclement. One is fighting alone, resisting the attacks of the Sea Clan's Shan and Hai tribes, its aura gradually weakening. It doesn't look like it can hold on much longer. And then there are three auras with the Water Demon's gang, filled with numbness and pain, likely beastmen strongmen who have been enslaved."

  "Oh, you can even smell this?" Old Liu said with some surprise.

  "Breath is like food to me, whether strong or weak, calm or stimulating, each one is different. As long as I focus my mind, I can sense their emotions from their breath, even the turmoil in their souls. Unless it's someone who has abilities that counter mine, or a super-strong practitioner who has cultivated some kind of technique to deliberately conceal their tracks, otherwise it's absolutely impossible for them to escape my pursuit."

  "Great! Your nose is like a radar, extremely useful." Old Liu first praised. Then he said to Silver Nose: "Unfortunately, your own strength is still a bit lacking. If you had legendary level and combined with your ability, that would be perfect."

  Silver nose detected the "disdain" in Old Liu's words. For a moment, his face was burning with shame and embarrassment. The beastmen were a race that revered martial power. Every single one of them took pride in becoming strong. They hoped to be respected by others. And dying gloriously on the battlefield was their ultimate destination. This way of thinking wasn't unique to the Beastman Union alone. Even Silver nose, who had been enslaved for decades, didn't find it unusual. Although he had gained some abilities during his transformation, they hadn't helped much in increasing his strength and were only useful as auxiliary tools. In fact, because of this "outstanding" performance, he was noticed by the Water Youma, Bao Bai. He had been imprisoned alone for decades, without any communication or companions, treated like a domesticated animal, and never having the chance to participate in a battle. Now that he was out, seeing the intense fighting on the battlefield made him feel somewhat restricted, and his heart surged with an inexplicable desire to retreat. So when the fight began, he quickly hid himself away, only watching with wide eyes as the Minotaurs and sea monsters fought with all their might, unleashing their battle spirit. He himself was lurking, unsure of what to do. For a beastman warrior, this was simply an unforgivable shame! Even now, thinking back on it made Silver nose's face flush red with anger, making him want to slap himself hard on the ears.

  Actually, people like Yin Bi who have been imprisoned for many years will more or less have some psychological barriers and be wary of everything in the outside world. If you just try to persuade him with kind words, he will instead think that you have ulterior motives and won't easily believe you. Just now, Old Liu's casual remark made him even more suspicious and he thought it was his own cowardice that made Old Liu look down on him, and for a moment, an inexplicable feeling of oppression rose up in his heart. To prove that he wasn't a coward, he hastily said loudly: "Master, although my current strength is somewhat lacking, I can still go onto the battlefield and kill enemies! You can rest assured, I absolutely won't hold you back!"

  "Why are you yelling so loudly, I didn't say anything." Old Liu was taken aback by the sudden excitement of Yin Bi, and thought to himself. It wasn't until Yin Bi had calmed down that he scratched his head and said: "Those five powerful beastmen gathered together should be the leaders of the Beastman Alliance. Where are they specifically located? I must meet with them as soon as possible."

  "In this direction. About 500 meters away from us. But Yin Bi pointed to the southwest, suddenly furrowed his brow. His speech became hesitant."

  "What's going on?" Old Liu asked.

  "That place also has a very strange aura, which doesn't belong to the sea tribe or the water demon. Even I can't identify what it is. But it gives me a very dangerous feeling." Yinbi said hesitantly, then suddenly thought that saying this would make Lao Liu continue to look down on himself, so he immediately added: "However, even if it's a half-god level existence, I won't back down."

  "Whatever it is, we can't beat it. Let's just drill into the Gaya Rainforest and be done with it." Old Liu said shamelessly. Then he beckoned to Yinbi, "Let's go take a look. What kind of strange thing is it?"

  "Master, my speed is still decent. Let me carry you there." Yinniu suddenly transformed into his demonic beast form, a two-meter-long, gigantic dung dog, and said loudly to Lao Liu.

  Old Liu didn't think much and straddled it. He was quite satisfied, thinking: "This son is really considerate, this way I can save a lot of effort." Just as he sat up, the silver nose let out a low growl and started galloping wildly, like a cannonball bursting out. In an instant, it rushed into the vast rainforest on both sides of the riverbank and disappeared without a trace.
