Although the changes were subtle, they were definitely present.
Amon's avatars became more independent and autonomous. Some of them even started thinking about breaking away from the main body to grasp true "freedom."
This was a dangerous signal, a sign that the main body's control over the avatars was decreasing.
This kind of problem also existed in the Amon of the Mysteries World. He could split off avatars of Sequence 1, but that would cause his own instability, so he generally wouldn't do that.
In the Douluo World, Amon couldn't resist the rules when he was weak, but after he became strong, he used the power of "fate" to tightly connect all the avatars and the main body, so this kind of situation basically never occurred.
But in the world of BTTH, the "rules" of the world were not very prominent, so when the difference between the wills of the clone and the main body was too great, a different underlying logic, or even different ultimate goals, would appear.
As a result, Amon's tendency to converge decreased, and he looked more like a collection of independent individuals.
For "Amon" as a whole, the entire Amon's will, that is, the main body's will, the improvement of his own life level was always the top priority, in addition to survival.
His most primitive and essential goal, simply put, was to become stronger.
But when applied to individual Amons, they might not be so consistent.
The main body Amon would not do things that would cause significant harm to himself because of his own dark humor or curiosity.
But the clone Amons were more like "trolls". They would do things that might harm the overall situation because of their own interests and hobbies…
They became more emotional, not so consistently rational, and became more like "people."
Of course, even so, they still couldn't break away from the main body. Because Amon was the "only one", this was an inviolable iron law that was engraved into the universe's laws from the very beginning when he was born into this world.
Just like the Dou Qi Continent could not give birth to a second "Void Swallowing Flame" or "Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame", the entire Dou Qi Universe could not give birth to a second "Amon".
Unless "Amon" and the Dou Qi Universe both agreed to the appearance of a second Amon, this would never change.
After a conversation with Yun Meng, even though he knew that the other party had deviated a bit too much, Amon had no intention of correcting him.
After learning about Xiao Yan's recent situation and the main areas where each Amon was distributed, he left the Monster Mountain Range.
Amon didn't go to Wu Tan City. Xun'er's guardian was still too threatening to him, and it wasn't suitable for the main body to go there.
Not long after Yun Meng left, a mental wave spread out from Amon as the center.
One by one, the magical beasts suddenly stopped their original movements, their bodies stiffened slightly, and then, the same wave spread out from them as the center, towards a greater distance.
In this way, through relay-style continuous diffusion, the mental wave was transmitted to all the magical beasts in this area that could receive and recognize it.
All the first and second-order magical beasts began to converge towards the center, and finally stopped in front of Amon's cave.
Stardust-like brilliance emerged from the bodies of the magical beasts, converging towards Amon in the center, and the starlight disappeared into his body.
And those magical beasts, after a brief period of sluggishness, gradually regained their clarity.
They looked at the surrounding magical beasts with blank expressions…
Among these magical beasts, some were in a hunter-prey relationship, some were competitors, and some were in a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship…
They didn't know why they were here, and they didn't even realize that they had been parasitized. When Amon's spiritual will disappeared from their souls, chaos inevitably arose.
Some adopted a defensive posture, slowly retreating towards the edge of the pack; some let out excited howls and began to hunt; some ran away, hoping to escape the scene before being noticed by predators.
The chaos only stopped when a huge tiger roar sounded. This was a huge white tiger, filled with a ferocious aura.
This was one of the three overlords nearby, the fifth-order magical beast "Cloud Tiger."
The beast herd was silent for a moment, and then fled in all directions, because the Cloud Tiger had issued a warning of expulsion. Continuing to stay would be a provocation to this fifth-order overlord.
Soon after, two similar auras arrived, a black and white "Moon Wolf" with a wise look in its eyes, and a pitch-black "Corpse Dance Crow" with red eyes.
All of them had a layer of heterochromatic circles on their right eyes.
Amon's combat power was very weak. His frontal combat power was at the bottom of his rank. His talent abilities were all strange methods and had little to do with frontal combat.
He even had to have Yun Shan come over once to successfully control them… Therefore, he needed to bring these three guys with him to fight.
Amon transformed into a stream of light and entered the body of the Corpse Dance Crow. The Moon Wolf and Cloud Tiger also quickly shrank in size and jumped onto the Corpse Dance Crow's back.
The huge crow flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
Its wingspan was about two zhang, which was still a big gap compared to many large magical beasts, but the smaller size gave it higher speed. Driven by Dou Qi, the Corpse Dance Crow flew quickly into the distance.
Amon didn't take away all of the Worms of Spirit. He left a few behind, letting them act on their own, as a kind of monitoring of this area.
…
In the vast and boundless desert, the gently undulating sand dunes were like the spines of giant dragons.
The scorching sun in the sky emitted endless light and heat, and the air was filled with a dry and hot atmosphere.
The wind was also hot, and waves of heat hit the face. Even hiding in the body of the Corpse Dance Crow, he could feel the heat outside.
A city with a layer of yellow sand covering the city walls slowly appeared in the Corpse Dance Crow's field of vision. That was Amon's first stop on this trip, a small city on the edge of the Tagore Desert, Mo City.
About a thousand meters away from the city, in order to avoid causing chaos, the Corpse Dance Crow slowly descended and stopped on the ground.
A stream of light flew out of the Corpse Dance Crow's body and turned into a vortex of wriggling worms. The vortex changed rapidly, and finally transformed into a thin young man wearing a black classical robe.
After the Worms of Spirit that made up his body were no longer restless and tended to stabilize, he swiped his thumb across the Na Ring on his right index finger, and a monocle immediately appeared in his hand.
Embedding the monocle into the socket of his right eye, he slightly adjusted the position to place it at the most comfortable angle, and walked towards the city at a leisurely pace.
The Corpse Dance Crow's size quickly shrank, becoming as large as an ordinary crow. It flapped its wings and jumped onto Amon's left shoulder.
The Cloud Tiger and Moon Wolf, like kittens and puppies, followed behind him with their short legs.
Due to the terrain, the air in the Tagore Desert was filled with earth and fire attribute energy, and the proportion of other energy was extremely low.
For those who practiced fire and earth cultivation methods, this was definitely a good place to cultivate.
Amon didn't like this kind of environment very much. He frowned slightly and lowered the brim of his hat.
The wind was blowing, and fine sand mixed into the wind. If you weren't careful, your mouth and nose would be filled with sand.
A layer of Dou Qi slowly emanated, forming an invisible shield around Amon's body, blocking all the sand blown by the wind.
"Pui… pui…" The active Moon Wolf took a mouthful of sand and made an uncomfortable whimper.
The wind was still blowing, and the sand kept pouring in. The Moon Wolf stuck out its tongue, trying to clean the sand from its mouth and nose, but the more it cleaned, the more there was.
With a flash of inspiration, it directly inserted its head into the sand… This way, it wouldn't breathe in the sand in the air.
The Cloud Tiger took an elegant cat step, glanced at its intelligent companion, and shook its head.
Amon walked further and further away, and the Moon Wolf finally noticed something was wrong. It pulled its head out of the sand, looked at Amon, who was already dozens of meters away, and trotted to catch up.
"Wow… what a cute puppy." A passing woman saw the Moon Wolf, held its two front legs, and picked it up.
This was a young woman wearing tight leather clothes, only covering her chest and the section below, revealing her slender waist, and her slender and tight thighs were also wrapped in tight shorts, revealing a large area of wheat-colored skin.
… This was the general attire of women in the Tagore Desert area.
"Liu Ye, you still shouldn't move other people's pets casually. How many times have I told you, don't rush up when you see cute things…" A man's voice sounded behind her.
"But it's really cute!" Liu Ye took out a piece of gauze and carefully covered the Moon Wolf's mouth and nose to block the blowing sand.
"Really, what's wrong with its owner? How can they be so careless and leave this kind of puppy that isn't native to the desert unattended?" She muttered with some dissatisfaction.
The sturdy man behind her, with his arms bare and wearing a beige linen shirt, showed a helpless smile. He quickly stepped forward and cupped his fists at Amon:
"I'm sorry, little brother, I'm Liu Yan, a member of the Sand Mercenary Group, this is my younger sister, Liu Ye… She's been like this since she was a child, she has no resistance to cute animals."
Amon glanced at the Moon Wolf in Liu Ye's arms, which seemed to be enjoying it, and said with a smile: "It's okay… Are you locals of Mo City?"
"No, the headquarters of the Sand Mercenary Group is in Shimo City, deeper in the desert. We are staying in Mo City because of a guard mission."
"Shimo City… Maybe I will have a mission to entrust to you at that time." Amon pinched the monocle and said with a chuckle.
"Then I will introduce you to our leader." Liu Yan's attitude became more enthusiastic. Amon's calmness and unique dress made him vaguely feel that this person was not simple.
The group walked together towards Mo City.
The Moon Wolf glanced at the Cloud Tiger, a smug and mocking expression on its dog face.
The Cloud Tiger ignored it, turned its head, and followed Amon step by step.
During this time, Liu Ye also thought about hugging the Cloud Tiger as well, but the latter dodged it. Although she was slightly disappointed, she didn't force it.
The journey together was not long, and they soon arrived at the city gate. With the city walls blocking it, there was much less wind and sand.
Amon looked up at the two large characters "Mo City" on the plaque hanging above the city gate, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
