Merging with Demon Spirits

"An indispensable companion?"

Hong Yi muttered to himself, his expression somewhat complex, his eyes red. Although he didn’t want to cry, he couldn’t control it, and tears came pouring out.

The tears smudged his makeup, exposing the dark circles he had covered up, which were as dark as ink, surprising Lin Feng and the others.

"Hong Yi, don’t cry, don’t cry."

Seeing Hong Yi cry, Little Sister Dong quickly stepped forward to comfort him, her voice also a bit choked: "I almost died and didn’t cry, why are you crying when you’re fine?"

At this moment, Little Sister Dong was aware that she had narrowly escaped death and felt a bit scared afterward.

"Why are you crying?"

Lin Feng said with a smile, rubbing Hong Yi’s head:

"Among us, you’re the youngest. We are all your brothers and sisters. Facing extraordinary powerhouses, there’s nothing we can do for you right now, but with our talents, it won’t take long, maybe five or six years, and we’ll be able to come and get you!"

Yun Kai also stepped forward, earnestly saying: "If you can’t hold on, think of us, we’ll come for you as soon as possible."

"Yeah, in a decade, who cares about Hong Tao! If we get pissed off, we’ll kill the extraordinary too!"

Yu Qiao said confidently, his tone as arrogant as ever, but this time no one retorted him.

Hong Yi wiped his tears, laughing while crying: "Don’t worry, I will hold on until you come for me!"

"I’ll go have a chat with the Sha Mi inside you and first lift the seal within it!"

Lin Feng said to Hong Yi, then closed his eyes.

Because of the contract, this time he didn’t borrow the power of Nightmare, Lin Feng’s consciousness turned into a physical form and directly appeared in the pitch-black space.

As soon as Lin Feng appeared, a sharp and suspicious voice came from inside the cage: "Huh, you actually came in by yourself?"

The Sha Mi appeared in front of Lin Feng across the cage, looking at him, opening its mouth full of fangs, surprised:

"What did you do to the Spirit Medium just now?"

"It’s a secret!" Lin Feng said.

The atmosphere was silent for two or three seconds, the Sha Mi’s breathing becoming heavy, accompanied by a whistling sound, a piercing scream rang out:

"Damn brat, when I break free, I will kill you, damn monkey, just like Hong Tao, all damn monkeys!"

While it roared madly, a sandy arm reached through the cage, appearing in front of Lin Feng like lightning, but Lin Feng dodged it calmly.

"Such a capricious guy, imprisoned for so long and still doesn’t know how to restrain his temper, no wonder he got sealed!"

With previous experience, Lin Feng knew that good words were of no use to this Sha Mi.

Since it was useless, he might as well say whatever he wanted, after all, it didn’t matter.

"Damn kid!"

"I’ll definitely kill you!"

"I’ll crush you with sand!"

"Make you die without a corpse, a painful death!"

The Sha Mi kept cursing and swearing, but this verbal attack had no impact.

"Come hit me, you stupid fox!" Lin Feng said with a laugh, looking up.

"I’m a Sha Mi, not a lowly fox." The Sha Mi became more agitated, saying furiously.

"Same thing, all foxes." Lin Feng continued to provoke.

"Ah!"

The Sha Mi went a bit crazy, its massive body continuously ramming the cage. Lin Feng could even feel the ground shaking violently, but obviously, it was in vain, as the steel cage remained intact.

Perhaps exhausted, or maybe knowing it couldn’t do anything to Lin Feng, the furious Sha Mi gradually calmed down, only looking at Lin Feng with angry eyes, breathing heavily.

"Alright, stop wasting your energy."

Lin Feng said, tapping the ground with his right foot, lightly jumping and floating in the air, facing the big face of the Sha Mi, he calmly said: "I want to make a deal with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng could clearly see a disdainful expression appear on the comical beast face of the Sha Mi: "What qualifies you to make a deal with me?"

It wasn’t just the expression; its tone was full of disdain, very disdainful.

Truly a detestable fox.

"If you’re like this, I’m leaving!"

Lin Feng said directly.

"If you want to go, then go, as if I want to keep you..."

The Sha Mi remained disdainful, but when Lin Feng’s figure started to become vague, about to disappear the next moment, its tone changed abruptly, and it directly asked: "What deal?"

The tone was still arrogant, but it clearly agreed to the deal.

Despite its temper and capriciousness, as a celestial chart demon beast, the Sha Mi’s intelligence was no different from that of humans and it wasn’t foolish.

It also knew that the seal within itself could now only be unlocked with the help of this brat in front of it.

If it wasn’t unsealed, only death awaited.

Although sealed and without freedom, the Sha Mi evidently didn’t want to die yet.

As for the seal on the Spirit Medium, that was a matter for later; right now, staying alive was more important.

This brat in front of it was annoying, but the demigod’s power inside him was genuine, though weak, its level was very high.

Considering only the level, it was even higher than its own power.

Although it didn’t know where the demigod’s power inside this brat came from, it was enough to show that this brat was no ordinary being.

With human growth speed, perhaps in twenty or thirty years, this annoying brat might become extraordinary.

Exist similar to itself.

Maybe there would be more opportunities for transactions in the future.

The Sha Mi could sense a special bond between the Spirit Medium and this brat, as if they had formed some kind of contract.

This was also the reason it hadn’t attacked, allowing this brat to appear in front of it on his own.

It didn’t know exactly what kind of contract it was or its effects, but it was certain that it wasn’t beneficial for Hong Tao.

Something that would upset Hong Tao, no matter what it was, the Sha Mi was willing to do it.

Ten minutes later, after some bargaining back and forth, Lin Feng used Nightmare’s power to lift the seal within the Sha Mi.

After the seal was lifted, the Sha Mi seemed to regain its previous arrogance; Lin Feng felt that its personality and even its speaking tone were very similar to Yu Qiao.

"I’m leaving, wait for the news!" Lin Feng said.

"Get lost then!"

Sha Mi cursed, then closed his eyes. Although this little ghost was quite annoying, it was rare to have someone to chat with, and he actually wanted to chat a little more.

Lin Feng couldn’t care less, and as the phantom dissipated, he opened his eyes. Facing everyone’s gaze, he said:

"The seal inside Sha Mi has been lifted, no need to worry."

Everyone collectively sighed in relief.

"Whew..."

The bomb inside her body was defused, and Hong Yi felt a sense of relief.

Although there was still a seal on her body, and that Sha Mi still resided inside her, continuing to interfere with her and preventing her from sleeping normally.

Fortunately, this seal would not endanger her life.

"With the seal lifted, Sha Mi said that Hong Tao wouldn’t sense it, so make sure not to let Hong Tao know the seal is lifted, otherwise..."

Lin Feng didn’t finish the sentence, but Hong Yi clearly understood.

She nodded earnestly, sincerely thanking, "Thank you, Brother Feng!"

This was the first time Hong Yi proactively spoke with Lin Feng and, like Little Sister Dong, called him ’Brother Feng’. She wanted to appear natural, but seemed a bit shy nonetheless.

"Oh, Brother Feng, my good Brother Feng!"

Seeing Hong Yi’s shy appearance, Yu Qiao teased, deliberately leaning forward towards Hong Yi, causing her to quickly turn around embarrassedly, feeling her cheeks heat up, inciting laughter from Yun Kai and others.

"Alright, the hunt begins."

Lin Feng smiled as well, not minding at all.

A hundred meters away.

Jue Tian was hidden among the bushes, as motionless as a rock, his eyes empty, as if devoid of any emotion.

....

The sky gradually brightened, and the colorful sky formed by the Spiritual Tide began to surge, as if boiling.

If there were no accidents, the key would appear today, though the exact time was uncertain.

At this moment, everyone held their weapons, constantly in a state of readiness, the tension of the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Their gazes varied, some solemn, some anxious, some bloodthirsty, and some fearful.

Among a group of people, Yun Lin looked at three injured Abnormal People not far away, appearing somewhat disheveled, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Still killing, killed all night, aren’t they going to rest a bit?"

Throughout the night, the screams did not cease, and Abnormal People kept appearing in retreat.

With the key about to appear, everyone was adjusting their state, those who needed sleep were sleeping, those who needed to eat were eating, striving to keep soul skills, spiritual power, and physical strength in the best condition.

Throughout the night, although the Human Race and Abnormal Squads gathered together, they were very restrained and did not trigger a large-scale conflict.

Only Lin Feng’s squad seemed to go mad, constantly hunting down Abnormal Squads on the periphery, not stopping the entire night, conservatively estimated to have killed two to three hundred more people.

There were also Abnormal Squads that organized ambushes but were unsuccessful, resulting in further casualties on their part instead.

With the strength of Lin Feng’s squad, a general Abnormal Squad could not resist them at all, unless Abnormal talents and Kings joined forces, they had the power to contend with them.

However, people from the Six Great Forces were all adjusting their statuses, waiting for the key to appear.

This night, they also struck three times but caused too much commotion, so Lin Feng’s squad avoided direct confrontation.

In the end, nothing came of it.

Fear made Abnormal Squads gather together, yet despite this, they were still occasionally ambushed and hunted.

Because of Lin Feng’s squad, the deployment positions of Abnormal Squads were affected, and even as dawn came, the fighting did not cease.

Since entering the Land of Chaos, Lin Feng’s squad had been killing for an entire day and night!

Killings on the periphery had the Abnormals terrified at the mere thought of them!

The battle achievements remained dazzling.

"They should start resting, if they don’t, they’ll have no state to compete for the key."

Bai Ji said, his tone somewhat somber.

Just one day into entering the Land of Chaos, his whole temperament had undergone an earth-shattering change. A long scar stretched from below his right eye to his left chest, the wound gaped open, appearing extremely grotesque, this slash nearly split open his entire skull.

However, Bai Ji didn’t mind.

Compared to those who died, he considered himself very lucky.

The key contest had not even begun, and their group of a hundred had already suffered twenty casualties.

Besides him and Yun Lin, Red Cloud University had three more people arrive, one of whom had already fallen.

The sacrifices of companions, the blood on their hands, and the struggle of life and death made them seem like they suddenly grew up.

But this way of maturing, in their opinion, was too cruel.

Underneath the six Emperor Level Demon Beasts, Hai Xiu and his group listened to the subordinate reports, their eyes gloomy.

"Another fifty killed, truly insane!"

A young man laughed, named Jing Xia, nicknamed Hyena.

Hyena was a Demon Spirit unique to the Human Race, and as an Abnormal Person, he had refined a Human Race Demon Spirit, which was a very rare occurrence on the Divine Martial Continent.

The Shadow Blood Hyena of Eighth Tier wasn’t high level, but the fact that Jing Xia had a nickname was enough to prove his strength.

He didn’t care at all about those who died, only Lin Feng’s team’s hunting speed and combat power amazed him.

"It seems their goal is hunting; they’ve given up on contesting the key!"

Huang Yi said.

A day and night of hunting, even without injuries, the soul power and spiritual power must have been considerably consumed, if it was for competing for the key, they wouldn’t have been so reckless, they would preserve their state.

"Keep killing if they have the skill."

Tian Di said, just like Hyena, he didn’t care about how many foot soldiers died.

As they were discussing, two kilometers away, among the litter of corpses, a purple flash of lightning flickered by, accompanied by a cry of agony, an Abnormal Person suddenly plunged to the ground, their body trembled twice, quickly stopped breathing, and the flesh under the skin started to rapidly disappear, swiftly turning into a dry corpse.

"It’s about to begin!"

Lin Feng looked around to confirm that everyone was dead.

"Let the storm come."

Everyone looked towards the colorful sky, where the commotion was getting more intense.

The key was about to appear!
