My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration

Chapter 331: Troll’s Consumption

: Troll’s Consumption

Namur’s eyes lit up. As soon as the spiritual fruit entered his mouth, pure spiritual qi and vitality spread out.

“This fruit is probably even more precious than the fruit of the Sea Heart Wood!”

“What pure water attribute spiritual qi! My cultivation has actually increased!”

“Thank you for your gift, Fellow Daoist. If you can escape, you must come to our Dragon Palace!”

Not long after, the relationship between the other 19 mermen and Jiang Li reached the level of worship.

The royal merman’s attitude towards Jiang Li also improved greatly.

However, due to his strength, it would take too long for the spiritual root seed to successfully parasitize him without being easily discovered. Therefore, Jiang Li temporarily suppressed it.

When the other party started to be unable to resist and was gradually corroded by the flesh and blood of the Armored Troll, the spiritual root seed would be activated immediately and fight for control.

Jiang Li had never tried it before. Was the corrosion of the Armored Troll’s flesh stronger or was the parasitism effect of the spiritual root seed better?

However, the rank of the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth was still higher. He was quite confident about this.

After letting the Spirit Absorbing Monster control his body to watch, Jiang Li came out of the Yin Burial Coffin and transformed into a tree root that burrowed into the ground, quietly continuing to move deeper into the island.

Jiang Li had two main targets now.

The first was to find the withered flowers that were said to be able to remove the corrosion of the Armored Troll’s flesh and blood.

Although Jiang Li was confident that the spiritual root seed should be able to suppress the effect of the Armored Troll, these mermen would be an important force for the Great Mountain Alliance to deal with the sea beast tide in the future.

If they were all Armored Trolls, it would be inconvenient for them to appear in the human camp.

The second was to kill Namur’s father.

According to Namur, his father was an armored merman with a crown on his head.

Only by dealing with him could they rely on the sea beasts to escape from this island. Otherwise, even if they ran, the endless sea beasts would still be a problem that they could not escape from.

However, he did not know the exact location of these two targets, so he could only quietly search for them on the island that was filled with enemies.

Jiang Li who had burrowed a distance underground and transformed into the root of the Nine Nether Wood burrowed into a tall tree from the ground.

He swam up the tree trunk and silently poked his head out from the tree branches above.

Looking around, there was an Armored Troll holding a spear lying on a tree trunk and sleeping.

Jiang Li’s eyes lit up. This Troll was not too big and did not have any exaggerated mutation organs. It looked relatively suitable.

A tree branch-like hand appeared from the tree trunk and covered the Troll’s mouth. It dragged him into the tree trunk without making any sound.

A moment later, a crack appeared in the middle of the tree trunk. Jiang Li, who had already worn a layer of the Troll skin, walked out.

This time, he did not use the Spirit Absorbing Monster or the spiritual root seed.

Instead, he used a spell technique he had obtained in the past, the Body Transformation Technique.

Back then, when he explored the Seven Roads Ghost City at night, besides forming an inexplicable relationship with the female ghost, Qin Shuman, he had also casually dealt with a Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator.

He also obtained a Body Transformation Technique and a ghost talisman book from that person.

The series of black talismans in the ghost talisman book were extremely compatible with Jiang Li’s Nine Nether spiritual qi, and its might was slightly stronger than ordinary talismans. Up until now, he was still using it.

However, the Body Transformation Technique that required him to wear someone’s skin was a little disgusting. In the past, Jiang Li, who used his iron fists to conquer the world, did not need this, so he had never paid much attention to it.

Even if he had entered Blackstone City under an alias, he had only used his spiritual qi to change his appearance and body. He had not really skinned anyone to disguise himself.

However, if he wanted to hide, even his race had to change. It was not something that could be done with just a face change.

He used the Nine Nether spiritual qi to quickly deal with this skin cover, entered it, and began to swell his body.

The Armored Trolls were generally taller than humans. However, Jiang Li was a body cultivator, so changing his figure was only basic for him.

He swelled his body to about nine feet and filled the entire skin.

Jiang Li walked out of the tree trunk and stretched his body. There were no obvious displacement creases on the skin on his body. It looked like he had really become an Armored Troll.

This Transformation Technique was quite brilliant.

That rogue cultivator from back then could pretend to be a little girl that was two to three feet tall and not reveal any flaws. Now, Jiang Li who was already at the Golden Core realm naturally did far more than him.

However, there was an awkward flaw.

Jiang Li scratched the front of his face. However, these two vertical eyes were really not very useful.

No matter how he changed his appearance, Jiang Li could not move his eyes to the center.

He could only use the special organ of the spiritual plant, the flesh tree, to temporarily connect the other party’s two eyeballs to his nose and forehead.

The flesh tree was an excellent supplementary material to regrow limbs and transplant the organs of demon beasts.

With it as a temporary graft, Jiang Li could also use the two eyeballs normally.

However, the sight of the two vertical eyes was still a little strange.

It was as if he had been looking at something with his head tilted. He was not used to it.

After adapting, he grabbed the spear from before and pretended to patrol the island.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, the Armored Trolls were really similar to humans.

They had obvious statuses and positions.

Most of the low-level Armored Trolls were only wrapped in simple linen or were not wearing anything.

They did more labor intensive and tougher work.

The high-level Trolls were well-dressed and had many unique accessories on them.

Among them, the noble would even paint bright colors and symbols on their armor to show their difference.

Of course, in Jiang Li’s opinion, those with runes and colors on the armor were usually stronger.

It was unknown if it was because they were powerful that their status was noble, or if it was because their status was noble that they were powerful.

Jiang Li temporarily did not have any other clues, so he followed the guidance of the Nine Nether clone and walked towards the location of his spiritual root puppet.

Just as he was about to reach the core circle of the island, Jiang Li discovered that a large number of Armored Trolls were surrounding one of them.

Some powerful guards were maintaining order, but the noise continued.

“Lord, please! This is the fifth time I haven’t gotten any ‘Nourishment’ to eat!”

“Please, if I don’t eat it, I’ll become wild again!”

“Get lost! Don’t push me! If you come any closer, I’ll break your arm!”

More than 2,000 Armored Trolls were crowding together and fighting for something.

The strong ones took the best positions. As for the thin ones, they were squeezed to the outermost area. They were unwilling to give up and wanted to squeeze more.

A group of Trolls with spears were pushing around them, trying to get them to line up.

“You! Come and help maintain order!”

When they saw the spear in Jiang Li’s hand, they naturally thought that Jiang Li was a patrolling guard and temporarily recruited him.

With the second Spirit Absorbing Monster that had eaten the head of the Armored Troll as a translator, he could already communicate with these monsters without any obstructions.

Jiang Li did not refuse. He carried his spear and lashed at the chaotic Armored Trolls.

Even if he deliberately converged most of his strength in order to hide, the spear under his hand was still far more powerful than others.

These monsters were beaten until their heads were bleeding, their bones were broken, and their muscles were broken. Some of them who tried to resist were sent flying by the spear for a long time and could not get up.

Jiang Li would not show mercy to them. After a series of slaps, he killed more than ten of them. He even sent hidden force into many Trolls’ bodies. It would only act up after a day and night to shatter their internal organs.

Under the influence of violence, the Trolls quickly lined up again. One after another, they received what they called ‘Nourishment’.

Jiang Li shook the blood-stained spear and followed the group forward. As he moved along, at the end of the group, he saw the so-called ‘Nourishment’.

These were familiar boxes that he had seen before.

Jiang Li’s palm could not help but clench tightly. This solid metal spear was almost broken by him, leaving a clear handprint on it.

At the front of the group was a counter.

Behind the counter were a few obviously more noble and beautifully dressed Armored Trolls.

They took out human heads from the box and skillfully opened the skulls. They used a special small spoon to scrape out pieces of brain matter and handed them to the Trolls in front of them.

Inside the box were the heads of the children transported from the human territories!

Jiang Li knew the cruelty and danger of the cultivation world, but there were actually people who would sell their own kind to other creatures for spirit stones.

This kind of behavior was really infuriating!

The human head was opened like a coconut. One spoonful after another, they dug out what was inside.

This scene had quite a bit of an impact on Jiang Li. He really wanted to immediately erupt and fight on this island.

However, in a fortress not far away, there were a few faint auras that made him clearly feel a strong threat.

The Armored Trolls could suppress the entire Eastern Region of the Azure Cloud Continent for thousands of years. Its strength was definitely not ordinary.

The power that existed on this island might even be stronger and more dangerous than the Myriad Slaughter Sect.

Attacking now was a very unwise choice. Even if he could successfully kill a wave and escape, the other party would be alerted. It would be even harder to break through this island in the future.

Jiang Li’s rationality told him to wait for a more suitable opportunity.

These Trolls in the line used a leaf to catch the tofu-like brain matter and immediately sent it into their mouths impatiently, making extremely enjoyable sounds.

That special small spoon was slightly larger than the milk powder spoon in his previous life.

The brains in one head could be distributed to 20 Armored Trolls.

There were about ten heads in this box, which could be distributed to 200 Trolls.

Behind the counter, there were a total of ten boxes, which were the heads of a hundred human children.

Jiang Li did not look at the scene of them eating. He only silently observed the changes in the surrounding environment and after the Trolls ate the human brain.

With a closer look, he discovered that the Trolls in the line were more or less deformed.

The body structure of the Armored Troll was different from humans. It had all kinds of forms. Descriptions of regular deformities were not suitable for them.

However, it was clearly abnormal that they grew some useless non-functioning organs on their bodies.

However, after eating the brain matter, the extra limbs or organs would quickly fall off their bodies. The excited emotions of the Armored Trolls would return to normal.

Could it be that the Armored Trolls liked to eat human brains not because of their food preferences but because it was essential to maintain normal survival?

Jiang Li guessed in his mind.

The Trolls in noble robes moved quickly. Together, they quickly finished off the heads of the people in the boxes.

Jiang Li finally understood why those humans and demons were fighting so desperately just now.

Food was always not enough.

There were still 300 to 400 Trolls left. They could only kneel on the ground and cry in pain. Each of them took a chain and locked their hands together.

They could only survive the painful degeneration in this way and look forward to the next batch of distribution.

“Wait a moment.”

Jiang Li remembered this information in his heart and was about to leave when he was stopped by a robed person.

“You did well just now. I have something to hand you. Come with us.”

Jiang Li was not happy at all while being praised by the Armored Troll.

Right now, he only wanted to find a secret corner and kill a batch of these guys first.

“Come with us with those two jars.”

After saying that, the robed Armored Troll left. Jiang Li looked at the two jars on the ground.

He had seen this thing before.

Inside was a cultivation seedling that they had stored.

It was also from the Eastern Region of Azure Cloud Continent.

“Lord, what’s in that jar?” Jiang Li pretended not to know.

“That’s something only nobles can enjoy. You don’t have to know.”

Jiang Li came to a realization. Something of better quality with guaranteed freshness naturally had to be provided to an existence with a higher status.

He could meet the higher-ups of the Armored Trolls as long as he followed them?

After thinking for a moment, he withdrew his Golden Core aura with all his might, picked up two jars, and followed.

As expected, they were walking towards the fortress in the middle of the island.

There were two groups of Troll guards at the entrance of the fortress. Their level was obviously higher than the ordinary guards outside.

Judging from the aura, they were probably stronger than the Armored Trolls Jiang Li had encountered on the battlefield.

However, with a few robed figures leading the way, they did not stop him. They only looked at the jar in Jiang Li’s hand, revealing a drooling expression.

…

Asura World, the Vemacitrin Blood Fighting Arena.

“Little Yaksha, you’ve done a great job this time. Work hard. Lord Vemacitrin will not treat you badly.”

In the past few days, the Fallen Blood Yaksha could be said to be riding on the wave of success in the Blood Fighting Arena.

Opening a true spatial crack was the highest achievement of the underground blood pool.

After completing this mission, the reward not only allowed the yaksha clone to make up for the loss of the Fallen Blood Core.

It even allowed him to take a step further and directly condense a Blood Nascent in his body, causing his strength to advance by leaps and bounds.

Most importantly, with the trust of the Evil Eye High Priest, he could now enter and leave the Blood Fighting Arena on his own and mobilize several Demon Generals and a large number of resources without the approval of the higher-ups.

That “large number” was even to the extent that he could secretly build another small blood pool.
