As he continued to consume the food and flesh, long-forgotten memories began to surface in Zheng Zha's mind.
Basic knowledge about vampires, as well as some common magical knowledge, suddenly appeared in my mind.
Then, with a snapping sound, two bulges appeared on its back. As it continued to eat, the bulges grew larger and larger, eventually developing into a pair of medium-sized wings.
"Interesting, really interesting. These blood demons are so fascinating. They evolve by consuming large amounts of blood?" Zhang Ning asked curiously.
What surprised her wasn't Zheng Zha's strength, but rather the speed at which he was progressing—it was simply too fast. If she could acquire such a method and cultivate it...
"Well, it seems you're not willing to save your captain. Well then, let's take a look at your teammates."
Soon, the situation in the water mirror changed, and this time it showed the scene of Dr. Arot, the wolf of greed.
At this moment, Arot, wielding a scalpel and with his hands transformed into wolf claws, was engaged in a friendly yet profound exchange with Zhao Yingkong. The surrounding environment suggested that their interaction was quite intense.
At this moment, Arot had a clear mark on his left arm. The wound had already turned black. It was clear that, for the time being, this arm was essentially useless.
However, Zhao Yingkong, hiding in the shadows, was also in bad shape. A clear claw mark was visible on her stomach. Even her clothes were torn, and blood was seeping through.
It's fair to say that if Zhao Yingkong hadn't reacted quickly and dodged just now, she might have already been disemboweled.
"What do you think will happen to this blond barbarian this time?" Zhang Ning said calmly, watching the two chasing and fleeing.
"Arot will definitely win. As the second strongest fighter in our team after the captain, he's bound to win," Xue Nai said excitedly.
"Hehe, is that so? In my opinion, although this wolf demon has the upper hand at the moment, and even has a considerable advantage in terms of strength and speed, the little girl has actually made greater progress. Moreover, in terms of skill alone, the little girl is even better."
Sure enough, as time went by, Zhao Yingkong's progress became increasingly significant. In their encounters, she won more often than she lost.
"You've angered me, you little bug."
With a roar, Arot transformed into a werewolf, standing over two meters tall with massive limbs covered in sharp claws and teeth. A single, gentle slash easily created a sonic boom.
However, Zhao Yingkong was no pushover. The short sword in her hand, named Augustus, possessed various effects such as soul devouring, making it a genuine high-level magical weapon.
On the five fingers of his hand were various talismans drawn by Taiyin, and with the second-tier gene lock now unlocked, even if Arot, who had transformed into a werewolf, faced him head-on, he would not be afraid at all.
With a sharp slash, accompanied by the sound of a short sword slicing through flesh, the werewolf doctor, Arot, died. Although Zhao Yingkong was also no longer able to fight, she was the one who had truly won.
"Hehe, see? The Zhongzhou team won again. That means you've lost another point. What are you going to do? Too many negative points will get you eliminated," Zhang Ning said casually.
"What exactly do you want? If you simply want to kill me, why go to all this trouble?" Xue Nai said, frowning.
At the same time, she felt a sense of despair. Her life or death at this moment depended entirely on the capricious Eastern mage before her. Even if she had her own thoughts, what could she do?
"Hehe, no rush, let's see what happens to others."
Soon, through the water mirror, Xuena saw the fates of her teammates one by one. Joseph, who was going for a tech-focused build, was sniped and killed by the opposing sniper.
As for the team's third strongest fighter, Imani, he was also defeated by a group of second-tier members of the Zhongzhou team.
As for the other team members, they all perished.
"Ah, what do you want to do?" Xue Nai screamed frantically, looking as if she had collapsed.
"With so many negative points, do you want to save yourself?" Zhang Ning suddenly said coldly.
"think."
"Then, by voluntarily taking this pill, everything can be saved. Now, I ask you, are you willing? Are you willing to change all of this?" As he spoke, Zhang Ning took out a multicolored pill from his pocket.
"willing."
"Alright, the contract is settled."
With that, Xue Nai, with Zhang Ning's help, "voluntarily" swallowed the "pill".

Chapter 83: They were just barbarians; their deaths are no big deal.
"Phew, finally done. Luckily, this woman possesses immense spiritual power but doesn't know how to use it. Otherwise, if she had put up even the slightest resistance, I wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily. This supreme god can actually grant someone such powerful strength out of thin air. It seems that the great being who created this place is no ordinary being either," Zhang Ning said with lingering fear.
In her view, this barbarian's spiritual power was no weaker than her own. No, it should be said that it was much stronger.
Judging from her mental strength, it's already comparable to a third-tier Yang God in the main world. In her words, it's a BB-level mental strength enhancement.
Yet, this woman used such immense power only to survey the surrounding area within a radius of several dozen miles. She couldn't do anything else with it—wasn't that a terrible waste?
"Hehe, it's alright. Since you don't know how to use this power, I'll help you. It's also fortunate that your mental state is too poor, otherwise, such a simple illusion might not have been able to deceive you," Zhang Ning said with a smile.
Actually, it can't be called an illusion. The situation in the water mirror just now was one of countless futures predicted by Zhang Ning, combining reality with some celestial secrets.
However, in this future, the Indiana team's fate is rather tragic. Although the possibility is slim, it is still one of countless possibilities. Therefore, from this perspective, Zhang Ning didn't lie to her, did he?
Soon, accompanied by a series of incantations, Zhang Ning sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands forming a mudra, and quickly entered a meditative state.
Don't underestimate meditation. Although it's just a basic part of cultivation, it's one of the few skills that remains useful even at higher levels.
Therefore, the time it takes to enter a meditative state, and the depth of that state, often reveal the solidity of a Qi cultivator's foundation.
Soon, accompanied by even breathing, everything quieted down. In just a few breaths, Zhang Ning's body underwent a change.
At first, his entire body began to radiate bursts of light. Then, the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head began to emit a rather mysterious silvery-white light.
Then, a miraculous scene unfolded. At that very moment, another identical Zhang Ning appeared atop the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.
Looking back at himself sitting cross-legged on the ground in his Yin Spirit state, Zhang Ning couldn't help but smile. This was the wonder of Daoist magic; he was only at the second level, yet he could easily separate his Yin Spirit from his body.
