Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!
Chapter 327: Storm Brewing (2).
At the same time, while Leo was studying the ancient book within the bland cemetery.
In the corner of the world, within a small island in the Pacific, countless decaying corpses could be seen scattered around the reddish-brown ground. Their cloudy eyes, signifying that they were already dead for a couple of days, still show traces of anger, unwillingness, and fear—unfolding a frightful expression toward the cracking sky.
Buzz~
Adding to the eerie scene, within the corpses, countless flies could be heard resting above them while unnumbered white maggots, as huge as a grain of rice, discernible gnawing on the decaying flesh. They wriggled with fervor while generating a faint tearing sound that echoed through the surrounding area.
"How long would it take to destroy this barrier?"
Observing the sea of corpses around them, a two-meter-tall beast, with a head of antelope and a body similar to a robust human, asked the beasts in the short distance.
While doing so, the beast couldn't resist but took a quick glance at the thin membrane, covered in exquisite threads of inscription on the far horizon with impatiently written in its vertical eyes…
As if it could no longer wait to see the membrane crumble into powder.
If the thin yet almost indestructible membrane in the far horizon was destroyed, removing this little world protection, then their race's upper echelon could finally descend into this backward place with their physical bodies, attracting the attention of the indigenous people of this world who were beyond the Nascent Soul realm toward them...
Allowing him, who was hiding from the top power of this little world, to finally vent his desires!
If that occurred, not only could he monopolize some of the little world's wealth, but he could also consume the cultivators of this place to his heart's content in order to further nourish his physique!
"If I'm lucky, I might be able to glimpse the next realm, allowing me to live for thousands of years!'
"This idiot."
Seeing the glint within the antelope's eyes, the beast in the short distance, fiddling and transporting his transcended Qi toward the bloody altar in front of him, couldn't help but shake his head with helplessness, opening his bloody mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth before speaking in a low voice.
"It's not that easy. Grinding this array might take 2-10 years; if we wanted to hasten the speed, then the commotion it would create might attract their attention...
"However, if the others who descended with us managed to survive and started grinding the array, then the speed of the array's destruction might increase a bit."
Biting the limbs of the corpse he was holding, the beast, after speaking, couldn't help but gaze at the bloody altar in front of him, watching the thick blood it contained wriggle unceasingly, transforming into thick mist in the next second before attaching to the thin membrane in the distance—corroding them slowly, making the thin membrane flicker with instability... As if it would crumble in any second.
However, much to the disappointment of the beasts, despite the fragile appearance of the membrane, the array still remains intact, flickering with a faint glow before expelling the red mist that attaches to its surface.
"This unknown array was simply beyond one's imagination; if it was at its peak, then I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to do anything to it.'
***
Soon, in a blink of an eye, a couple of hours passed by.
Leo, after reading the last pages of the ancient book, couldn't help but instinctively close his eyes, falling into deep thought as he began to arrange the knowledge he had gained within his mind—running them again and again within his consciousness before dissecting them into a molecular level!
Slowly filtering the useless information while absorbing the necessary one into his soul!
Although the content of the ancient book seems simple to his eyes, only containing truths and knowledge regarding farming and plants. In actuality, their contents already carried traces of rules—a rule related to plants and life.
Allowing him to momentarily glimpse a certain rule of life!
A rule related to life force, one of the mid-level rules under the Dao of Life!
"Unfortunately, my understanding of it was still below 1 percent. I couldn't even see the rule description within the panel.'
Opening his panel and gazing at the unchanging rules under the rule section, Leo releases a faint sigh of disappointment, shaking his head before gazing at his plantation in the distance with pain reflected in his eyes.
Sizzle~
With a faint hesitation within his heart, Leo silently raises his left arm, releasing his extreme hell of fire before decisively burning the spiritual herbs he had just bought into ashes, causing the bland cemetery around him to sway excitedly as it hurriedly absorbed the ashes toward its depth, hastening its recovery and transformation in the process.
"This!'
Beholding this, Mad Saber, who was still swinging his wooden saber unceasingly in the distance, couldn't help but halt his movement, his eyes carrying a glint before shooting a contemplated look at Leo in the distance. Clearly hadn't expected the other party to be this decisive.
It could be said that, within the spiritual herbs and plants that Leo had just destroyed, Mad Saber could feel a faint aura similar to the 3rd and 4th levels of spiritual plants on some of them—a natural treasure that was extremely beneficial to the Core Formation and Nascent Soul realm beings upon maturing.
However, despite knowing this, the pale man, after understanding that the plants and herbs' life force was extremely damaged, still chose to destroy them... Making his impression of the latter change subtly.
If he were in the pale man's position, he believed that he wouldn't destroy them. Although their life force was beyond saving, consuming them might allow his strength to increase slightly.
"Moreover, what kind of flame is that? I even felt a faint sensation of pain within my soul just seeing it."
Hmm?
Seeing the strange behavior of Mad Saber in the distance, Leo couldn't help but show confusion on his face, unaware of what was going on in the other party's mind.
However, even if he knew, he might not care about the other party's feelings.
