Chapter 118: The Wandering Swamp
At the moment when the strange blade passed through the skeleton, Hu Lin found a silver-white figure floating out of the skeleton, which was quickly absorbed by the strange blade he had condensed. At the same time, he felt a surge of pure energy rush into his head.
"I'm dazzled?" Hu Lin had such a thought in his mind, and he couldn't help but look behind him, and found that Yuan Jing's expression was quite normal, and he didn't seem to notice anything wrong. The little fox's expression was similar to hers, but its eyes were staring straight in the direction where the strange blade had disappeared. Xiao Yao is different, she is looking at herself in surprise, it seems that this girl should have seen something.
Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Yao floated to Hu Lin's side, looked back and forth for a long time, and then said with some confusion, "Stinky rascal, are you really human?"
Hearing this, Hu Lin wanted to drag the little girl directly from mid-air, but he still held back, squeezed out a smile vigorously, and said, "Uh...... Strictly speaking, Young Master Ben is not exactly human, after all, our mother is also a member of your soul clan...... Why are you asking me this question all of a sudden?"
Xiao Yao's little face wrinkled together, and she still said suspiciously, "Judging from the situation just now, this strange blade you condensed should be the Soul Devouring Blade, yes! But even if this weapon is in the Soul Clan, it is also a legendary existence, and only one person has condensed it in history, which is still a very long time ago." It's strange that you, a human with only half Soul Clan blood, can condense it......"
"Soul Devouring Blade, the name is quite domineering, I don't know how powerful it is?" Although he said this, Hu Lin was thinking in his heart, "Is it really so close to the Demon Clan?" I accidentally learned the "Devouring Demon Sutra", and there is an evil devouring demon seed in my chest, and now even the condensed soul weapon is called such a demonic name......
Xiao Yao nodded seriously and said, "The power is quite huge! According to the records within the clan, the same clan that successfully condensed into the Devouring Blade eventually led a part of the Soul Clan to become the Soul Devouring Demon Clan, even in the Hades Continent, it has an extraordinary status!"
Hearing this, not only Hu Lin, but even Yuan Jing and the little fox frowned. Yuan Jing couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the Demon Clan a visitor from outside the world?Why are there people from the Soul Clan?And the Soul Clan who condensed the Devouring Blade, wouldn't it be because of the Devouring Blade that became a member of the Demon Clan?"
Seeing that the little fox also had an expectant expression, Xiao Yao instantly raised her little head, and said very angrily, "I'm sure that in the history of your human race and demon race, the record of the origin of the demon race is wrong! In fact, the life of this world all originated from the Pangu Continent, and the Demon Race was no exception! According to the historical records of the clan, their power did come from outside the sky, but they themselves were the aborigines of the Pangu Continent!"
The news was so exciting that Hu Lin almost didn't bite his tongue when he heard it. Yuan Jing stood aside and shook her head vigorously, as if she wanted to shake the news out. The little fox is calmer, because its fox clan, although there is no historical record, but the inheritance memory passed down from generation to generation has the same narrative, and now I have heard Xiao Yao's words, which confirms the accuracy of the inheritance memory, and its gaze is still stopped in the direction where the strange blade disappeared.
Hu Lin quickly woke up from the shock and said to the little girl, "Xiao Yao, what you said just now was a bit bluffing...... However, did the soul clan that condensed into the Soul Eater Blade join the demon clan because of that strange blade?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know about this...... There is no detailed history of him in the clan, however, the Soul Eater Blade can indeed devour souls, and it is an extremely terrifying soul weapon. I think if you devour too many souls, you will definitely change your personality, right? After all, all souls have their own personality, and if you want to eliminate this kind of thing, there is only one way to do it, reincarnation!"
"Reincarnation?" the little girl once again came up with a new word, which made Hu Lin and the three of them really incomprehensible. But Hu Lin didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he said, "Since this soul weapon is very evil, and Young Master Ben doesn't want to become a schizophrenic, let's use it as little as possible in the future! But without this method, how should we deal with soul beasts?"
Xiao Yao felt the gaze gathered on him, and hurriedly said, "In fact, ordinary soul beasts, attacking with spells and martial arts are still effective. Soul beasts like the skeleton just now, not only soul attacks are effective, and the attack effect of thunder spells on soul creatures is the best, because thunder and lightning originally have a destructive attribute......"
When Yuan Jing heard this, she couldn't help but walk to the little girl's side and said, "Why didn't Xiao Yao say it earlier......
"Stinky rascals don't know lightning spells, it's useless for me to say it......"
Hu Lin really didn't bother to pay attention to this nervous little girl, walked to the skeleton to see if there was any loot, and when he leaned over, his eyes swept over the little fox, and his face instantly became strange. However, this skeleton soul beast was still really poor, and there was nothing left but the sturdy skeleton. Hu Lin complained for a while before pulling out his map to confirm his location and direction of travel.
"What kind of place is this Wandering Soul Swamp?" Sounds strange and evil-sounding ......" After putting away the map, Hu Lin looked up and asked Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao said with an indifferent face, "It's just a swamp...... There are a lot of geists floating in it, which is why it is called the Wandering Swamp. This place is nothing to us Soul Clan, but you're afraid you're ......."
Needless to say, Hulin and the others also realized that this swamp would be the first difficulty they would face. The Soul Clan has a means of transportation like Piaoyun, so they naturally won't be afraid of the terrain like swamps, but Hulin is different, although they have a flying cloud board in their hands, they still can't reach places that are too high.
Now that this route has been chosen, the Spirit Swamp in front of him must be passed, Hu Lin put away the map and walked in the direction of the swamp first. After another two days' journey, they came to the edge of the swamp. Although I encountered a few more soul beasts on the way, they all belonged to the soul possession type, and they were easily handled by a few thunder spells by Yuan Jing. Knowing this, Hu Lin didn't have to show off his stinky appearance and personally deal with the skeleton.
Standing on the edge of the swamp and looking far away, you will find that it is very quiet except for the white shadows floating in the sky. The swamp in front of me seemed shallow and safe, but what was hidden beneath the shallow surface of the water was impossible to see because of the mud and weeds. Hu Lin tried to reach out for his soul power, and found that the weeds and silt beneath the surface of the water seemed to have a blocking effect, and could not penetrate at all.
In desperation, Hu Lin had no choice but to take out the long branches cut from the forest from the Void Star Ring, and began to test inch by inch. Xiao Yao, who was floating in the air, saw his cautious behavior, and couldn't help but say with contempt, "Stinky rascal, don't you have a flying cloud board, why are you so troublesome?"
Hu Lin glanced up at the sky and said, "How high do you think these geists are drifting?"
The little girl thought about it seriously and said, "Hmm...... The last time I passed through this swamp, I probably flew to an altitude of more than five thousand meters, and it was so cold that it almost froze me into a popsicle! I think these spirits were floating at least three or four thousand meters......
"Miss...... Although the flying cloud board I made can allow ordinary people to fly, the fluttering clouds inside are too small to climb to an altitude of four or five thousand meters. If you think it's safer to fly in the middle of a geist than to walk in a swamp, we wouldn't mind flying over here......"
After Xiao Yao heard this, she shrank her small body, and said with some palpitations, "Forget it about flying from the geisman...... Miss Ben doesn't want to try that 5,000-meter altitude! Let's walk through here honestly......
Hu Lin suddenly looked up and said to her, "Friendly reminder, you, the eldest lady, had better not fly, be careful that those geists eat you as a snack!" After speaking, he ignored her and began to probe the water under his feet inch by inch with the branches. Xiao Yao seemed to be frightened by his words, and hurriedly flew to Yuan Jing's shoulder.
The little fox is not as leisurely as the little girl, it has been lying on Hu Lin's shoulder and watching, always alert to the surrounding situation. Yuan Jing walked behind Hu Lin, and Meimu kept glancing, always paying attention to the situation on his side and behind him, for fear that something would suddenly come out. After all, it was their first time here, and the devil knew what lived in this swamp, but she and Hulin believed that there might be something below the surface of the water, except for those white sheet-like geismas floating in the sky, and that it was always right to be cautious.
After a slow march for half a day, Hulin and his team finally found a ground like an island, and decided to rest on it and continue on their way. But less than ten meters from the ground, the branch in Hu Lin's hand touched a hard object. He couldn't help but poke his head to take a closer look, and just as his head was halfway through, he suddenly saw a piece of dead wood open and bite at him.
Hu Lin immediately retracted his head, and the branch in his hand had already turned into a demon suppression stick, and the long stick had been swept out at the same time as he shrank his head, only to hear a "bang~", and the dead wood was swept out.
When it came to the surface, Hulin and the others realized that it was some kind of dead wood, it was a crocodile-like creature, but it was more like dead wood. But the bloody mouth and sharp teeth were the same as those of a crocodile.
"Xiao Yao, I'm afraid this thing isn't a soul beast, right?" Hu Lin looked at it and asked behind him.
The little girl also saw this creature for the first time, and said curiously, "I don't know...... It's the first time I've met this funny guy!"
Although Yuan Jing couldn't see Hu Lin's face, he also guessed his current expression, and hurriedly said, "Brother Lin, there are not only soul clans and soul beasts on this ghost continent, but also all kinds of demon beasts, as for whether there are human beings, I don't know......"
"Demon beast?!" Hearing this word, after looking at the form of the demon beast that flew out, Hu Lin suddenly had a bad feeling, and quickly turned his head and asked the little fox, "Mei'er! This type of demon beast can't live in groups, right?"
The little fox didn't even think about it, and replied directly, "I'm afraid the young master didn't guess wrong!" Although its appearance is a little strange, it still has some similarities with the swamp crocodile. I'm sure the marsh crocodile is definitely social and as for ...... it"
Before it finished speaking, Hu Lin hurriedly turned around and took Yuan Jing's hand and ran directly towards the ground. Yuan Jing let him grasp it, now she seemed to be used to this move, not to mention that she also noticed that the situation around her was a little bad.
As soon as they stepped on the ground, dozens of rotten trees emerged from the swamp just now, but the gaping jaws revealed their true identity. The group of marsh crocodiles were furious that the meat that came to their mouths just like that, and the big open mouths were facing Hu Lin at the same time. A light brown glow flashed, and dozens of fist-sized balls of mud erupted neatly.
Hu Lin hurriedly opened the spiral shield and protected Yuan Jing and the others inside. The sound kept ringing, and the original white and transparent spiral shield was already wrapped in sludge after a while.
"Uncle! These stinky fish spit out are actually corrosive!" Hu Lin's nose sniffed the rancid stench coming through the spiral shield, and he couldn't help but curse.
