Beauty and the Bodyguard

"You want to know my original body, right?" The seven-headed snake monster sized up Lin Yi, who had turned into a soul, and nodded happily,""Not bad, not bad. To be able to get such an interesting toy like you, this is really a surprise!"

"What nonsense is this?" Lin Yi was confused-what was this guy up to?

"Fine, special toys need special treatment. Since you want to know my true form, I'll show you." Before the seven-headed snake monster could finish its sentence, two black snake heads grew out from its side. Not only that, but it also condensed its entire body. At first glance, its body was similar to that of an ancient giant lizard, except that it had two huge, flamboyant wings on its back.

"Nine-headed snake?" Duanmu Yu blurted out upon seeing this.

"That's not right. Out of the nine heads, five are black and four are red, and it sounds like a baby's cry. Although it's a kind of snake that's too strange, it's not a nine-headed snake. If I'm not wrong, it should be the legendary nine-headed infant!" Lin Yi said in a deep voice as he transformed back into his Yuan spirit form. Perhaps he wasn't used to it, but he felt unsafe in this strange environment. Also, only in Yuan spirit form could he absorb the last bit of the star Black coal's spirit energy faster and recover his strength faster.

"Aiyo, you're quite knowledgeable, human. It's rare to see a human who can recognize me at a glance!" The nine neonate immediately laughed. All nine heads laughed strangely at the same time, and it was another ruthless destruction of its ears.

"Is it really the nine infants?" Duanmu Yu's expression changed, and he immediately revealed a look of realization. According to legend, the nine infants were primordial fierce beasts that lived in fierce water. This river of consciousness was obviously not an ordinary River. It would not be an exaggeration to call it fierce water.

This time, Duanmu Yu suddenly felt endless pressure. She was not someone who would be easily frightened. However, the nine neonate's background was too great. Since ancient times, it had been known for its ferocity. Even among the legendary primordial fierce beasts, this fellow was definitely one of the top existences.

During their era, humans were still far from being strong. They were just food for them. It was pure luck that they didn't exterminate the human race. It could only be said that they were not fated to die.

In the face of such an existence, everyone, no matter strong or weak, would involuntarily tremble from the depths of their souls. This was an instinct passed down from generation to generation. If it wasn't for this instinct of fear, humans would have been exterminated long ago if they didn't run away stupidly when they saw the existence of the nine infants.

"You said I'm a special toy. What do you mean?" Lin Yi said as he looked at the nine neonate. He wasn't scared, as he was far from Duanmu Yu's level. Putting strength aside, just the experience on Sky Class Island was enough to keep him calm. After all, no matter how bad * SS the nine neonate was, it couldn't be stronger than the Azure Dragon or the Vermillion Bird, right?

"Nothing much, I just feel bored and need to find some toys to relieve my boredom." The nine neonate chuckled.

"How do you relieve your boredom?" Lin Yi frowned. The situation wasn't in his control, and if he and Duanmu Yu wanted to live, they had to deal with this guy and think of a way.

"Hehe, you humans will let your thoughts run wild when you're bored. If you think too much, you'll easily go crazy. As for me, my problem is more serious than you humans. After all, you only have one head, but I have nine." Two short sentences came out of the nine mouths of the nine infants, which was another headache-inducing torture.

"So what if you have nine heads?" Lin Yi asked.

"Nine heads will make you think more. Since you are also a primordial spirit, you should know that once the primordial spirit overthinks, it will be a big problem. If it's light, it will backfire on the divine sense, and if it's serious, the primordial spirit will collapse. So I thought of a good way to pass time, which is to study moves." The nine neonate explained patiently.

Lin Yi's reaction was quick,"You want to test your moves on me?"

"That's right, that's what I mean. Since I've worked so hard to create so many interesting moves, wouldn't it be a pity if I don't put them to good use? Those humans from before were so weak that they couldn't even withstand a single blow. There's no value in testing them at all. As for my subordinates, other than a protector and an envoy, the rest are also so weak. They're too useless. " The nine neonate said with regret.

Lin Yi and Duanmu Yu were both shocked by the words, and couldn't help but ask, "You're the Lord they're talking about?"

Obviously, the protector it was talking about was the water lotus Protector, and the special envoy was the brain-eating insect. With the strength of these two, ordinary spirit beasts could not suppress them at all, let alone make them willingly bow down. However, the nine-headed fierce beast in front of him was an exception. After all, it was a super existence that had been passed down from the ancient times, so it was completely possible!

"Oh? You know about it?" The nine neonate was stunned for a moment, but it immediately reacted.""That's true. All the spirit beasts who have the ability to occupy a territory here are my subordinates. Moreover, every time someone comes in, they are responsible for sending me human Tributes. It's not strange that you know this."

"I want to ask, why do you want so many human Tributes? is it just to get more human toys?" Lin Yi and Duanmu Yu looked at each other.

"Of course not, if you want to be my toy, you have to at least find the spirit sense grass. If you can't even find the spirit sense grass, you're either too weak or too stupid, how can you be my toy? At most, those people can only be used as Tributes. " The nine neonate paused for a moment, and the next sentence shocked the two.""Tributes are for eating, not for playing."

"Eat?" Duanmu Yu's expression was extremely strange as he turned to Lin Yi,"You need to eat?"

"No need ..." Lin Yi shook his head decisively. Even normal Foundation Stage cultivators could abstain from food, so he, as an essence spirit, didn't need to eat much. But he understood what the nine neonate meant and smiled bitterly,""I'm afraid it's not eating flesh and blood, but the souls of those people. "

The primordial spirit did not need to eat, but because it existed alone, it lacked the nourishment of the physical body's essence, Qi, and spirit for a long time. In addition, it was more or less consumed when it moved its hands, so it needed to replenish its spiritual energy. In addition to heavenly materials and earthly treasures such as Star Black charcoal, the most common spiritual energy was the primordial spirit of other creatures that could be seen everywhere. Although it was not pure spiritual energy, an existence like the nine neonate would not have indigestion.

"Hehe, if I let people spread the word that the soul consciousness river can temper one's soul consciousness, nine out of ten of you humans would take the bait. If it wasn't for me coming up with the name of the soul consciousness River, who would rush to this damn place? If we're talking about primordial spirits, you humans are the most delicious. Every time I devour them, the seven emotions and six desires are really interesting! And scheming against each other, sinister and cunning. I'm always happy!" The nine neonate's voice was filled with pride.
