174: camouflage

When the blood-colored insect consumed Xiao Shi's Blood Power, although it was no longer as weak as before due to the nourishment of the Blood Power, it found that it could not absorb Xiao Shi's Blood Power.

Instead, as Xiao Shi's Blood Power infiltrated it, its entire internal structure became crystal clear to Xiao Shi.

And with the investigation of the Blood Power, a sense of surprise gradually arose in Xiao Shi's heart.

Even though he had previously speculated about this Natal Martial Blood of the Demonic Path forces, he never expected that their Natal Martial Blood was actually refined from living creatures into their own Natal Martial Blood through some Secret refining method.

In other words, this blood-colored insect was not a life form created by Natal Martial Blood.

Instead, it was a living creature that was refined into Natal Martial Blood!

This method of forming Natal Martial Blood was even more evil than Xiao Shi had imagined!

Recalling the Natal Martial Blood he had seen in the bodies of the other Blood Martial Realm martial artists before, Xiao Shi realized that not only living creatures, but other things could also be refined into Natal Martial Blood through the Secret refining method.

And these things were not ordinary objects.

They often possessed some powerful effects.

For example, the insect in Xiao Shi's hand already possessed decent healing abilities before it was refined into Natal Martial Blood.

When it was refined into Natal Martial Blood, its entire healing ability was further manifested in this Blood Martial Realm martial artist.

"In other words..."

"These Blood Martial Realm martial artists of the Demonic Path forces often need to select the object to form their Natal Martial Blood before forming it."

"They make different choices based on their own needs."

Xiao Shi understood in his heart.

This method of forming Natal Martial Blood was completely different from that of the Blood Martial Realm martial artists of the Orthodox Faction.

The Blood Martial Realm of the Orthodox Faction focused on Blood Source.

While the Blood Martial Realm of the Demonic Path forces required blood objects.

As for the strength of both sides, Xiao Shi felt that there should not be much difference.

Perhaps among the Blood Martial Realm of the Demonic Path forces, there were some who had refined powerful blood objects, whose strength would be far stronger than ordinary Blood Martial Realm martial artists.

But the Blood Martial Realm of the Orthodox Faction also had powerful True Blood Blood Martial Realm martial artists!

The specific strength still depended on the individual.

It was not that the Blood Martial Realm of the Demonic Path forces was necessarily stronger than the Blood Martial Realm of the Orthodox Faction.

After understanding this point, Xiao Shi also realized that if he were to cultivate the Demonic Path system, then the key would be this Secret refining method of the Demonic Path forces!

If he could get this Secret refining method... perhaps he could also try to refine such Natal Martial Blood.

This gradually gave rise to an idea in his mind.

However, if he were to implement this idea, perhaps he would temporarily not be able to kill the other Blood Martial Realm martial artists.

And this idea was not guaranteed to succeed.

It could only be said... there was a chance.

After some thought, Xiao Shi felt that since he already had a certain understanding of the Blood Martial Realm of the Demonic Path forces, and such an opportunity was rare, if he missed this one, he wouldn't know if there would be another such opportunity in the future.

"Try it!"

He immediately made a decision.

But before acting, he first picked up the item that dropped after killing this Blood Martial Realm martial artist.

[Name: blood enlightenment pill (Perfect)]

[Type: Pill]

[Introduction: Can greatly enhance all insights of the Blood Martial Realm.]

[Remarks: This pill is only effective for insights related to the Blood Martial Realm. When the cultivation breaks through above the Blood Martial Realm, it will no longer have any insight effects.]

Xiao Shi looked at the pill in his hand.

This was the first pill he had obtained among Blood Martial Grade items.

However, this pill was somewhat different from the pills he had obtained before.

Because the effect of this pill... was only effective in the Blood Martial Realm.

The pills that Xiao Shi had obtained before that could improve his comprehension were all permanently enhanced and did not exist at a certain stage.

But this pill that dropped this time... was a bit different.

However, this pill was of good quality, directly reaching perfect quality.

Usually, the enhancement of pills of this quality would not be bad.

After obtaining this pill, Xiao Shi quickly swallowed it.

Closing his eyes, he carefully felt the efficacy of this pill.

He was currently in the stage of creating Blood Art.

The improvement in comprehension could make his creation of Blood Art smoother.

Before, he always felt that he was still missing an important step in Blood Art, but he could never figure out what step was missing.

Now, under the powerful comprehension brought by the [blood enlightenment pill], he was like he had suddenly seen the light.

A flash of inspiration in his mind immediately made him understand what step he was missing.

"The step I'm missing is... battle!!"

Xiao Shi suddenly understood.

Everyone is different in the creation of Blood Art.

Xiao Shi needed to create Blood Art through battle.

Only in battle could he create his own Blood Art.

Xiao Shi was not in a hurry about this.

With the powerful comprehension brought by the [blood enlightenment pill], he believed that as long as he found opportunities and continued to fight, he would eventually be able to create his own Blood Art in battle.

What was most important to him now... was to find an opportunity to see if he could get the Secret refining method of the Demonic Path forces.

For this, Xiao Shi already had a specific idea.

Whoosh!

He directly took out a human skin, which was the Yan Blood Human Skin that dropped after killing the five Blood Martial Realm Servants earlier.

Its function was to perfectly disguise oneself among the Blood Martial Realm.

However, before disguising, one must first have the other party's Natal Martial Blood.

Xiao Shi had already prepared for this.

Through the blood-colored insect in his hand, he directly used the Yan Blood Human Skin to transform into the appearance of the Blood Martial Realm martial artist he had killed earlier.

Not only was his appearance the same, his figure and temperament were also completely consistent.

Even the unique murderous aura formed after long-term killing was exactly the same.

"As expected of perfect disguise!"

Xiao Shi was very satisfied with this disguise effect.

The entire disguise was flawless.

Even if he checked through the Scarlet Blood Demon Eye, he could only see the blood-colored insect inside his body, but not his own Natal Martial Blood.

This was a disguise that even the Scarlet Blood Demon Eye could not see through!

With such a powerful disguise, Xiao Shi's heart also calmed down.

He began to search the other party's storage bag.

Through the items in the other party's storage bag, he obtained a lot of desired information, making the plan he had formulated even more perfect.

His plan this time was very simple... that was to use the disguise brought by the Yan Blood Human Skin to infiltrate the Demonic Path forces here and search for the Secret refining method of the Demonic Path forces.

Overall, this plan carried a certain risk.

Although the disguise brought by the Yan Blood Human Skin was flawless, even if he encountered stronger experts, Xiao Shi would not have to worry about being seen through.

But after all, he only had the other party's external appearance and did not obtain his memory.

On the one hand, he did not understand the Demonic Path forces here.

On the other hand, if he encountered the other party's acquaintances, it would inevitably be noticed that something was wrong.

Fortunately, in this person's storage bag, there happened to be relevant information about the Demonic Path forces here.

After a careful examination, Xiao Shi immediately had a general understanding of the Demonic Path forces here.

The Demonic Path forces located in this Rainforest were called the Demonic Alliance.

This Demonic Path force had a very great origin.

It also had a notorious reputation throughout the Star Luo Territory!

However, the headquarters of the Demonic Alliance was not here, but in Star Luo Province.

The Demonic Alliance here was merely one of its sub-alliances.

But even such a sub-alliance was incredibly powerful in Tian Dou Province, with many experts within it, fully capable of contending with the four first-tier Orthodox Faction forces in Tian Dou Province.

Before entering this Rainforest, Xiao Shi already knew that this Rainforest was a well-known dangerous place in Tian Dou Province.

In addition to this Rainforest, there was also a desert and a Flame Land that were equally famous.

They were the three major dangerous places in Tian Dou Province.

However, before coming, Xiao Shi did not know that there were Demonic Path forces here.

He only knew that these three dangerous places contained powerful dangers.

Few people dared to enter them.

The other desert and Flame Land were both connected to the Rainforest, but located in two other directions.

These three dangerous places were pieced together, seemingly becoming a forbidden zone in Tian Dou Province.

And in each dangerous place, there was a city.

These three cities were all incredibly huge.

Any one of them was no smaller than the cities outside.

However, although these three cities all belonged to the Demonic Alliance, there seemed to be three different forces among these three cities.

After all, the entire Demonic Alliance itself was composed of many small and medium-sized forces.

Therefore, within the Demonic Alliance, there were also divisions of different forces.

The Blood Martial Realm martial artist that Xiao Shi was currently disguised as belonged to Zhuogu City in the Rainforest.

"The extremely strong burning raindrops in this Rainforest are actually formed by the array in this Zhuogu City!"

Xiao Shi took a deep breath.

These raindrops naturally had no effect on the martial artists of the Demonic Path forces here.

They could even bring them great enhancement.

This was also why the Blood Martial Realm martial artist that Xiao Shi killed, despite only having First Blood Realm cultivation, possessed strength comparable to Second Blood Realm when he made a move.

If he were outside... he naturally would not have such strength.

But in this Rainforest, he could get a great increase in strength!

However, although the Demonic Alliance established Zhuogu City in this Rainforest and largely controlled this Rainforest, there were also some unknowns in this Rainforest that even they could not control.

This also made these Demonic Path forces always need to be careful, even in this Rainforest.

This made Xiao Shi think of the unfathomable powerful figure he had encountered before.

He could be sure that that powerful figure was definitely not a member of the Demonic Path forces.

And after understanding this information, Xiao Shi realized that there were two choices before him now.

One was to infiltrate Zhuogu City in the Rainforest with this person's identity!

The second was to go to the other desert or Flame Land and enter the city there.

If he chose to enter Zhuogu City, it would be relatively easy, but after entering the city, Xiao Shi would face the situation of meeting acquaintances.

This would easily reveal clues.

And he did not know this person's identity in Zhuogu City, nor his social circle.

This would seriously affect his actions.

If he chose to go to the other two dangerous places, he would not have to worry about meeting acquaintances.

According to the information Xiao Shi had obtained from the other party, although these three cities all belonged to the Demonic Alliance, the Demonic Path martial artists in these three cities rarely interacted.

Their relationship was very subtle, just like different sects in the Orthodox Faction.

When encountering enemies from hostile camps, they would naturally share a common hatred.

But in normal times, they would also fight and kill each other for profit.

And the Demonic Path forces themselves were even more unscrupulous than the Orthodox Faction.

Their fights were often extremely brutal.

This also made these three cities basically not interact with each other.

If he chose to go to the other two cities, there would be no problem with acquaintances.

But entering the city... might be a bit troublesome.

After all, his identity was that of a person from Zhuogu City, and he could not just casually enter the other two cities.

Xiao Shi immediately fell into deep thought.

Both of these choices carried certain risks.

However, after careful consideration, he felt that going to the other two cities carried less risk.

After all, his identity was the most important.

Once his identity was exposed, and it was exposed in the city, his chances of survival would be extremely low.

After all, all these cities had Martial Soul Realm experts guarding them!

And there was more than one.

Perhaps there were even existences above the Martial Soul Realm.

If they found out that there was a problem with him, they would definitely kill him immediately.

It was still safer to go to the other two cities.

"According to the relationship between these three cities..."

"If I want to go to the other two cities, it's like betraying my sect and joining another sect."

"And with the Demonic Path forces' style of doing things, if I just go there empty-handed, they will definitely refuse me entry, and it's even very likely that they will just casually deal with me..."

"If I want to enter the city, I must have a 'certificate of allegiance'..."

A cold light flashed in Xiao Shi's eyes.

He immediately thought of the Blood Martial Realm martial artists from before.

Originally, he thought that after using this identity, it would be difficult for him to create slaughter among the Demonic Path forces.

However, after understanding the situation of the Demonic Alliance, he realized that his idea was wrong.

The Demonic Path forces' style of doing things was, after all, different from the Orthodox Faction.

Perhaps only by killing them could he use their heads as a 'certificate of allegiance' to join the other two cities.

And he could also gain a few more Blood Martial Grade items through these Blood Martial Realm martial artists.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shi immediately no longer hesitated.

His figure moved, and he immediately sensed their positions through the Blood Seals on these Blood Martial Realm martial artists, and rushed over quickly.
