Chapter 72 Shocking Change <TOC> Chapter 74 Embrace of Death

In the narrow passage, a member of the Soul Sect stumbled as he fled.
He occasionally looked back in terror, running towards the dissolved cavern of the Key to the Door.
There were terrifying monsters in the monastery. When faced with these monsters, even the trained and armed sect members were helpless and slaughtered, unable to even attempt to resist.
He wanted to leave here, to leave this underground monastery that had become hell.
“Bang!”
A gunshot rang out, and a bullet pierced the back of the sect member’s head, blowing off his skull.
As the dull thud of his corpse hitting the ground echoed, Li Mei appeared.
She had changed the magazine of her rifle. The terrain of the monastery was too complex. It was not difficult to kill all the sect members and reserve cultists, but finding their locations wasted a lot of time.
The effect of the Hidden Breath was surprisingly effective. For a powerful marksman like her, it was not just a simple one plus one equals two effect to become invisible.
She turned around and was about to leave when a terrifying flesh blanket silently crawled up from underground, slowly spreading open. Its translucent flesh membrane revealed blue veins inside. Sharp, hook-shaped teeth emerged from the flesh, capable of shredding an enemy’s flesh like a meat grinder.
Sticky saliva-like fluid flowed slowly.
The flesh blanket first shrank, then suddenly pounced towards Li Mei, trying to swallow her.
Li Mei suddenly turned around, holding a small revolver in her hand, pointing it at the flesh blanket behind her.
Seeing such a terrifying monster suddenly appear, she was not panicked in the slightest. She calmly pulled the trigger.
Goss sneered. Even heavy sniper rifles could only barely penetrate his skin, so this small pistol was like a toy to him.
Li Mei pulled the trigger.
“Boom!”
Goss felt a destructive psychic force hit him, and a violent explosion occurred, directly blowing his body to pieces.
The damage from this psychic force was even stronger than that of the energy sword of the plastic ability awakened.
Broken flesh littered the ground.
Li Mei put her pistol back in its holster, pulled out her long sword, and prodded the broken flesh on the ground. She was very curious about what kind of creature this was.
Without the black membrane, it’s probably not a descender, but even for a psychic creature, it’s rare to have such a strange shape.
Suddenly, the scattered meat on the ground wriggled together and jumped into the hole in the ground, escaping.
Under the weight of such a heavy blow again, Goss almost couldn’t maintain his body and was about to collapse into a pool of source blood.
He traversed underground and emerged from a dissolved cave.
There were corpses of reserve cultists with bullet holes all over their bodies in the cave. Among them, Goss also found a headless body, which he identified as the junior Bauman cultist.
Although Goss had guessed that something was wrong inside the monastery after encountering Li Mu and others, he did not expect that all the members of the Soul Cult inside the monastery had been wiped out.
“Well, this is good too. It saves me the trouble of killing you all myself, after all, you are all my dear juniors and students.”
He shook his membrane and made a sharp and eerie sound.
The membrane rolled up and wrapped the body of Bauman inside. With a nauseating sound of grinding and crushing bones, he completely sucked out Bauman’s flesh and blood, and then spat out the shredded cloth.
Goss eagerly pounced on other corpses, feasting on their flesh and blood, and reassembling his body.
After being full, his body began to wriggle and transform.
“It’s strange, why do these corpses have almost no residual source essence? Is it because they’ve been dead for too long?”
Goss was puzzled. After integrating with the blood of the Soul Lord, he became very sensitive to souls. The souls remaining on these corpses had not dissipated, but the source essence had disappeared without a trace.
He didn’t think too much about it. These souls that entered his body with the flesh would dissipate soon enough.
Realizing that the Beast of Darkness form was not suitable for him, who had not deeply studied martial arts, and would only be beaten by the opponent, Goss quickly grew iron-like scales under his skin, initially only the size of a fingernail, but quickly growing to the size of a bowl.
Goss directly transformed into a giant snake that was over ten meters long and as thick as a water tank, with bright red scales and a towering head horn.
The cold vertical pupils swept around.
Sharp scales scraped against the rock floor, making a sharp and ear-piercing sound, and the huge body caused a whooshing wind.
The giant snake was like a king surveying its territory.
Having long manipulated the huge blood snake in battle, Goss was very adept at fighting with a snake’s body.
He eagerly wanted to devour the remaining corpses in the monastery and then take revenge on Li Mu.
After integrating with the blood of the Soul Lord, Goss’s perception became even more sensitive, and the pain of his body being shattered by that destructive soul energy was like being cut by a thousand knives, almost tearing his consciousness apart as well.
This instantly made his hatred for Li Mu surpass that of Shen Luoyan.
“Wait! I will make you deeply regret angering me. I will swallow those two women in front of you, and then slowly crush your body, and return that pain a hundredfold!”
He gritted his teeth, but at that moment, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
“Where…where is this place? Have I returned to the embrace of the Holy Lord?”
The sudden voice startled Goss, and he recoiled in a serpentine formation, realizing that there was no one around him.
This voice came from his mind.
“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!”
The cowardly crying voice.
“Damn Xia people, the Lord of Souls will curse you!”
The angry cursing voice.
Soon, various voices followed one after another, making his consciousness as chaotic as a marketplace.
Goss finally realized that these were the souls that he had swallowed into his body talking.
The blood of the Lord of Souls had more bizarre power than he had anticipated. It was just that he had only swallowed blood beasts with simple intelligence and animalistic nature before, so he hadn’t noticed.
“You useless things, get out of my body!”
He shouted angrily, wanting to completely drive these souls out. But these souls were like maggots on a corpse, completely unaffected.
“That voice is from the Blood Snake cultist!”
“Blood Snake cultist?!”
“cultist! There are invaders, they killed everyone!”
“Why is it so dark here, I want to get out!”
“Lord cultist, save us.”
The chaotic voices almost made Goss’ head explode.
Suddenly, he felt an itch in his neck, and then a scale suddenly peeled off, revealing a human face emerging from the bloody body.
“I see, this is the monastery! Could it be that I am not dead yet?”
