Chapter 4, Correct Upgrade Methods

If it were the former self who was not awakened, perhaps he would have succumbed to such thoughts and gone on a killing spree. However, now, due to the sustenance of the thirteen crows, Wang Yuan has retained his rationality. He understands that continuing this slaughter would cause him to revert to being a mindless killing specter, which is why he forcibly suppressed the urge for violent release.

From their attitude, it is evident that they hold a dislike for crows. Wang Yuan noticed that the expressions of those people upon discovering the crows were not of joy at finding prey, but rather a stark and unadulterated disgust

The pitch-black claws accurately grasped his mouth, preventing him from uttering a sound, while several other crows cooperatively seized his limbs. He struggled incessantly, yet he could not break free from the crows' sharp talons

The consumption rate of the white energy is indeed too fast, even when he is not under the sunlight, even when he is doing nothing, the white energy is dissipating every moment.

"Do not overthink it, everyone should go to bed early. Tomorrow, we will venture deeper, and we will surely be able to catch more prey," said Big Beard Dakes with reassurance.

On these individuals, there is a very thin layer of white mist; however, unlike the kind he absorbs, this white mist carries the fluctuations of its owner's will. As Wang Yuan approaches, he notices that the white mist enveloping his own body begins to counteract with the white mist of the other party.

If I kill those remaining seven people, will it allow me to complete my soul body? The white mist enveloping Wang Yuan's soul body began to glow with a red light as his thoughts shifted.

At this moment, Wang Yuan flashed a vague memory, one from a time when he had not yet experienced emotions

There are a total of 8 experimental subjects, which pose a certain level of danger to the crows. Wang Yuan is now reluctant to let the crows take risks; he would feel distressed for a long time if even one of the 13 mutated crows were to die. Before he can engage in large-scale breeding of mutated crows, his actions must be extremely cautious.

Why must I die? Why is it me who will die?

This is a different world, where those humans, although they appear similar to Caucasians, cannot be definitively identified as the same race without genetic testing. The language they communicate in is also one that Wang Yuan has never heard before

The memories and emotions belonging to the deceased continuously infected Wang Yuan, leading him to have thoughts of venting through a violent outburst. However, gradually, Wang Yuan abandoned such foolish ideas

Wang Yuan looked at the fallen otherworldly human. As he himself continued to weaken, the layer of white mist with consciousness surrounding this body also gradually diminished, until it was nearly nonexistent.

As for those humans, Wang Yuan did not intend to make contact immediately, because there is a significant issue involved, which is the problem of communication

The perception field and interference force have both strengthened, and I have also slightly understood the language here. Wang Yuan sensed the memories of the other party, as well as the gradual completeness of his own soul body, and excitedly thought: "So this is the correct way for a ghost to upgrade."

Without hesitation, Wang Yuan commanded the crow to act. The sharp beak struck down directly, creating a large gaping wound in the person's neck. Within just a few seconds, this person was completely dead

If there really are other ghosts, I truly do not know how they have survived Wang Yuan pondered while drifting: Could it be due to the low-magic world?

Perhaps tomorrow will be better, Komoro said to himself as he closed his eyes and fell asleep

If Wang Yuan had not accidentally established a connection with the thirteen mutated crows, he would not only have regained his intelligence but also received assistance from these mutated crows in capturing other life forms. The white energy would have long been insufficient for him, and it is truly puzzling how those mindless newborn spirits manage to survive.

The other individuals nodded and fell asleep around the campfire, leaving only the young man Komoro in the group feeling somewhat at a loss. It was his first time participating in the hunting team, a complete novice, and he constantly made mistakes during the hunt. Coupled with the poor results this time, Komoro felt a sense of guilt as if he were a harbinger of disaster.

A large amount of white vapor rose from this person's body; this white vapor was abundant. Just the white vapor absorbed in that instant was enough for Wang Yuan to sustain himself for an entire day, and moreover, white vapor continued to surge endlessly from the corpse.

Suddenly, he felt something approaching from behind. He sensed that something was amiss and hurriedly tried to roll away to the other side. However, as soon as he got up, he felt a dizziness in his head and found himself completely unable to muster any strength.

He naturally did not know that not far from them, Wang Yuan was drifting there, observing through the perspective of the crow and his own field of perception, which was naturally different, and he also made new discoveries

I still want to live, let others die

That person immediately woke up, and upon touching his face, he was filled with dismay. Without shouting or making a scene, he quietly spoke to the night watchman, then got up, took a torch, and walked off into the distance. He needed to wash his face by the riverbank

A desire emerged from Wang Yuan's soul, and he suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to kill this person

This life form is enveloped in a white mist of will, a phenomenon that Wang Yuan has not observed in other animals. It is unclear whether this is unique to humans or if these particular humans possess some special characteristics

Controlling a crow flying from above, a lump of divine justice descended, a white object fell down. Wang Yuan was on the side, and the faint interference force surged forth, correcting the trajectory of that object, which directly struck a person's face, leaving some on their nose and mouth

Have we finally discovered intelligent life? Wang Yuan stood still, waiting until the last wisp of white vapor from the corpse before him was completely absorbed, and then he continued to drift slowly forward

At the same time, a fragment of this person's memory slowly flowed into Wang Yuan's soul.

What is this? Yang energy?

The wilderness at night is perilous, with various nocturnal creatures and limited visibility; without fire, humanity would hardly witness the sunrise of the following day

The clearest aspect among this is the memories of this person before death, accompanied by various emotions: anger, resentment, unwillingness, fear, as well as a deep attachment to life and hatred.

In addition to the white mist, there was also a breath that was similar to a cool breeze, continuously repairing and completing Wang Yuan's soul body. However, within this cool breath, there were some mixed elements.

As he walked along, he began to feel a bit lightheaded, but he did not pay much attention to it, thinking he had simply caught a chill. Upon reaching the stream, he carefully looked into the water to see if something had happened. After that, he scooped up some water and started to wash his face

At that moment, when he first appeared, he felt as if he was about to disintegrate and completely vanish. It was only because his own corpse emitted a large amount of white vapor that he did not immediately perish

Eight people gathered around the campfire, and the atmosphere of the entire hunting team felt somewhat off. This year, it was unclear what the problem was, as the game was pitifully scarce. They had been out for three days, and the game they had caught was only enough for their own consumption. How were they supposed to fulfill the village's task under such circumstances
