Li Xiang and Ellie walked for an entire day before they finally passed through the vast forest and entered the central area of the map. This was also where most of the human magicians gathered.
During this period of time, they had hunted down the magicians from various hostile families. Apart from the fear of death, these people had also slowly spread the news. After that, as long as they got close, these people would run away as fast as they could, afraid of being targeted.
Now that the enemy was on guard, the speed of the clean-up was greatly reduced. However, Li Xiang was still quite satisfied with the results of the past few days. When they left the players' assessment, the families would probably vomit blood. Hundreds and thousands of Level-3 magicians had all become food for Ellie just like that.
The loss was immeasurable.
"It's hard to imagine how much hatred you have with these humans. Do you have to kill them all?" After hundreds of engulfing and merging, Ellie was becoming more and more like a human. After absorbing all kinds of energy, her body could easily transform, and she could even use human magic.
At this rate, she would soon have both the characteristics of a Void Lifeform and a human. With a part of the genes that Li Xiang had given her and Ellie's unique ability to balance her attributes, her evolution would be smooth sailing.
After the two of them stepped into the central area, they were shocked by the scene before them.
It was the skeleton of a huge beast. It was like a continuous mountain range that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Countless spots of light shone within the skeleton. It was obvious that there were many scattered carriers of players gathered here. The number was shocking.
The place where they were standing was just one of the spikes on the back of this huge beast. The spine and the spikes intertwined to form a picturesque disorderly cave. It was like an underground maze, winding and illusory, attracting people to explore and take risks.
"Void Beast Chi!" Ellie let out a low gasp and explained to Li Xiang, "The World Essence of the Void World will give birth to a Giant Beast of Heaven and Earth every tens of thousands of years. Its body is incomparably huge, and it can swallow countless Void Life Forms just by opening its mouth. In the Void World, it is the incarnation of a God, and no one can stop it.
"About ten thousand years ago, the last Void Beast Chi suddenly left the Void World. It was said that it went to a wider world in search of opportunities and the possibility of evolution. After Hui left, the Void World fell into endless chaos, and it was during that time that my father quietly rose to power. "
If not for the Void Beasts leaving the Void World one by one, it would have been very difficult for these high-level Void Lifeforms to truly dominate a world. Even they were just slightly bigger food in the eyes of the Void Beasts.
The Void Lord took this opportunity to rise up and unified the Void World. For ten thousand years, he enjoyed the resources of the entire world. That was how Ellie was born. His goal was to nurture his daughter, Ellie, into an existence at the level of a Void Beast.
"I never thought that Chi would actually fall in a place like this!" Ellie had heard from her father that even if they left the Void World, these behemoths would return once in a while to replenish and recuperate. At that time, a large number of high-tier Void Lifeforms would be reduced to food.
But he never came back.
It would take tens of thousands of years for the World Essence to breed the next Void Beast. As long as Ellie could reach the level of a Void Beast by then, she would be able to forcefully plunder the newly born Void Beast and absorb it. From then on, the cycle would be endless and she would become the true Void Queen!
"How strong are the Void Beasts?" Li Xiang asked curiously. He remembered seeing the Time and Space Beasts during an experience. That aura was enough to make people tremble.
These creatures that were bred by the World Essence were equivalent to the default rulers of a world. They were existences like gods.
"My father's current strength is equivalent to a peak Level 7 player. If it's a Void Beast, it should be Level 8," Ellie answered truthfully. She had to admit that the weakest race, humans, had the only combat power that could rival a Monarch Calamity.
Level 9 players were like kings in any world. No one could match them.
If Ellie could successfully swallow a player's carrier, she could also evolve to the strength of a Level 1 player. She was still far from Level 8, but Void Lifeforms did not lack time. They were not like human players who had the fate of life and death. They could only seek breakthroughs within a certain period of time.
Therefore, Ellie was not in a hurry. Especially when she saw Hui's corpse here, she was even less anxious. She would not have any opponents in the next ten thousand years.
"Eh? These player carriers seemed to be imprisoned in the Void Beast's skeleton … No, they were not imprisoned. They were once swallowed! "Li Xiang suddenly said as he looked at the caves and spots of light not far away.
As soon as he said that, Ellie also noticed this abnormality.
Those shining spots of light were the carriers of the players. However, they could only wander in the caves and could not leave from the inside to the outside.
"Could it be that Hui is trying to swallow countless player carriers to find a way to evolve?" Ellie was surprised. No one understood the pain and ambition of the Void Beasts better than she did.
They stood at the peak the moment they were born. They were equivalent to a Level 8 human player. It was an extremely strong strength that countless people could not reach. However, because of this, the influence of the World Essence was too great. It caused them to be unable to take another step forward for the rest of their lives. There was still a gap between them and the Level 9 human players who stood at the peak.
They would constantly seek breakthroughs in their later years. Hui was obviously at that stage. It had begun to devour the player carriers like a madman. Unfortunately, it did not take that step in the end.
It did not manage to absorb the player carriers that it had forcibly swallowed. The corpse of the dead players had hidden them all. It seemed that Hui did not have the powerful digestive ability that Ellie had. It was only swallowing the players in revenge. It had a slight hope that it could absorb them, but it still failed.
And now, the corpse and the innumerable Player carriers within it had become a blessing for everyone present.
Li Xiang had personally experienced how difficult it was to search for the bodies of the scattered players.
Even after successfully obtaining an assassination tattoo to evolve, Li Xiang still could not find any new player carriers, let alone the Magicians.
It was really a game of chance and luck.
But now, Hui had provided them with an opportunity to save time. Slowly, many Magicians quietly approached this place. The news was still spreading. Groups after groups of small groups entered the Void Beast's skeleton and burrowed into the caves.
The only thing stopping them were the bizarre natives that were born from within the skeleton.
They were originally parasitic creatures inside the Void Behemoth. After the death of their host, they would continuously absorb its remaining life essence and reach an agreement with the player carriers trapped within. The latter would provide them with a certain amount of power, and they would slay any outsiders who tried to invade.
Naturally, it also made it convenient for Li Xiang to hunt down those nobles.
"You should be able to find the player carriers you want here. I need the Behemoth essence at the core. How about we continue working together?" Ellie extended her small, boneless hand. She was simply too happy to work with Li Xiang. "I can fulfill any of your requests, including leaving behind a child."
That was a very extreme condition of the trade.
Void Lifeforms rarely left behind children. With their lifespans of hundreds of thousands of years, they did not need them at all. Moreover, leaving behind a child meant that they would share a portion of their energy. They would only consider that when they knew that they had reached their limits and could not break through.
The child of a Void Lifeform was also different from normal children. In the early stages, it needed to stay by its mother's side and receive an endless supply of life energy and Void energy to grow. This also meant that Ellie would have to bring along a little burden wherever she went!
However, these negative conditions did not matter. As long as she could obtain the Behemoth essence left behind by Zhui, she would be able to complete her final link — the Void World's World Essence.
Ellie did not hide anything and told Li Xiang everything. For this, she was even willing to give up the player carriers in exchange for the Behemoth essence.
"That thing has a very poor effect on you humans. Although you have my genes in your body, the direction of your evolution is different from mine. Your level is also much higher than mine. The Behemoth essence doesn't mean much to you."
Ellie saw that he was a little hesitant and quickly said so.
"Alright." Li Xiang did not mind recruiting a high-tier Void Lifeform as a fighter. Moreover, there would definitely be a great battle after he got out. He might even need Ellie's help.
The two of them adjusted themselves to their best condition and walked towards the mountain range at a moderate pace.
Along the way, the small groups avoided these two killing gods and entered the cave as quickly as possible.
Following the invasion of a group of human magicians, the strange-looking aboriginals in the cave also rushed out and fought with the humans.
The entire mountain of bones was in an uproar. It was unknown how many battles broke out at the same time. The originally quiet area was suddenly filled with people.
Li Xiang and Ellie had just rushed into a certain mountain range when they encountered a group of baring aboriginals. They held all kinds of strange weapons in their hands and rushed forward with a howl.
Ellie conjured an Origin Substance gun and shot wildly. However, she found that the Origin Substance energy rippled when it hit these aboriginals. The power was reduced by half.
"Strange, let's try using Void Energy." Ellie changed her attack method and was shocked to find that the aboriginals' skin could not only absorb Origin Substance attacks but also Void Energy attacks.
In other words, these aboriginals had a natural resistance to the people from the two major factions who entered the player assessment this time. They absorbed most of the attack energy through their skin, and the remaining energy was not enough to kill them all in one go.
Moreover, with the terrifying number of aboriginals, if they were not careful, the magicians and Void Lifeforms would be nibbled to nothing.
"This is probably the player's carrier's assistance to them." Li Xiang punched out. Sure enough, the fist that contained Origin Substance energy was greatly reduced when it came into contact with the aboriginals' bodies.
Even a peak Level-3 magician like him who had broken through the shackles would find it difficult to kill them in one blow!
After a short exchange, the human magicians kept screaming. The player assessment here was not as easy as they had imagined.
However, they had finally found a fixed place with great difficulty. No one was willing to give up. The two sides used their numbers to fight each other, and the scene was incomparably tragic.
Li Xiang tried magic again, but the effect was very average.
Even the Filth Purification, which was lethal to the disaster, could not cause any substantial damage to them.
They were also largely immune to mental attacks and the like.
They looked like small fries, but they were very troublesome.
On the other side, Ellie angrily used her body to swallow a native. After absorbing it, her expression changed, and then a look of disgust slowly appeared on her face.
"Urgh!"
Ellie could not help but vomit.
Green liquid poured out of her mouth. After vomiting it clean, she felt slightly better.
"What the hell is this? Their bodies are full of impurities. There is no useful substance at all. Eating it will only make me nauseous! "Ellie complained. No wonder they could live safely in the Void Beast's body.
These things had no nutritional value at all. There was no supplement for them. Eating them would even hurt their stomachs. No wonder Feng allowed them to exist.
Li Xiang looked at her in surprise. This was the first time he had seen a creature that even Ellie could not deal with.
It seemed that her Devour Fusion skill was not that powerful.
After a few attempts, Li Xiang found that the most effective way to attack was to use brute force to kill them directly. Or … use magic particles.
The magic particles in the air were thinner. It was probably because they were inside the Void Beast's corpse that the dispersed magic particles could not enter. However, it was clear that magic particles were the nemesis of these aboriginals.
With a little guidance, the magic particles would corrode the aboriginals' skin and turn them into blood once they came into contact with it.
It was a pity that he was probably the only one here who had the ability to control magic particles. Hence, there was no nemesis for these aboriginals.
Li Xiang's attacks were imbued with magic particles. Those natives, who had been tough to kill earlier, were now like paper. Li Xiang punched them one by one.
After a round of killing, they finally fled in panic, not daring to get close to Li Xiang and Ellie.
The two of them walked into a cave. They had cleaned up all the aboriginals here. Only a faint light shone in the depths.
As if it had sensed someone outside, the light suddenly dimmed. Then, it turned into a trajectory and flew toward the outside of the cave. However, Li Xiang reached out and grabbed it in the palm of his hand when it was close to the cave entrance.
A burning sensation rose from his palm. It was as if something was frantically struggling to escape. The burning sensation slowly turned into a boiling sensation. In the end, there was even a faint purple flame rising from his palm.
Was this the test of a player's carrier?
Li Xiang had heard that even if he was lucky enough to get a player's carrier, he would still have to pass an important test before he could have the chance to fuse with it.
Unless he was extremely compatible with the carrier and was recognized, he would have to go through the corresponding test.
The purple flame on his palm was extremely hot. It was so hot that he almost couldn't hold it. However, after the transformation of the assassination tattoo, Li Xiang's body had already surpassed that of ordinary people. In a short period of time, the flame would not be able to hurt him.
He opened his palm. There was a strange crimson rune in his palm.
"Offensive Basic Magic Rune." This was not the basic mysticism rune he was looking for. He sighed in disappointment and passed it to Ellie who was beside him.
