The words "mermaid clansman" kept echoing in Shen Ling's mind, evoking his deep desire to see the clansmen hidden deep in his body.

"You're lying." Shen Ling clenched his hands into fists and glared at the black bird, "You don't know anything, if you knew, you wouldn't let the little white tiger come to me!" Shen Ling was not afraid of the black bird in front of him that had no light and wings, and he still had a little self-knowledge. If it weren't for the desperation, how could the divine bird, who was as noble as a phoenix, find such an ordinary and pitiful child as him.

Even if he was a mermaid, Shen Ling could tell from the black bird's attitude towards him that if there was another mermaid to choose from, he would definitely not choose a mermaid like him.

"Joke! Do I have to lie to a kid like you? The black bird felt that he had been greatly insulted, he opened his black beak, and when he opened and closed, an oval silver-white sheet the size of a baby's fist was spit out by him half a meter in front of Shen Ling.

Shen Ling lowered his head, and he was stunned the moment he saw the silver soul power brilliance circulating on that thin sheet.

He shouldn't have known what it was, but some memories seemed to remain in his heart along with his blood, and just by looking at it, he could see that it was a mermaid scale.

He couldn't help bending down to pick up the scale, holding the hard scale in his hand, Shen Ling felt an unprecedented kindness and joy.

The scale came from his people.

The black bird watched Shen Ling's every move, his memory was excellent, and most of the things in a few hundred years could be remembered very clearly. This mermaid true scale with soul power was obtained from a mermaid soul beast master who came to this alien beast forest more than three hundred years ago and wanted to subdue him as a natal soul beast.

It was a female mermaid, powerful and beautiful. His long pale blonde hair and ocean-deep blue eyes stuck in his mind.

Beside such a dazzling mermaid, there seems to be an ordinary human who can't remember his appearance no matter how many times he sees him. Yes, it's an ordinary human, not even a slightly higher level orc.

It is said that a mermaid will definitely choose an orc with the highest genetic level when choosing a mate, so how can a beautiful mermaid be willing to choose a mediocre human? For more than 300 years, he has not understood this problem.

What did that human look like?

The black bird pondered deeply in his mind, and then the little mermaid in front of him overlapped with the ordinary-looking human form.

"I promise you!" Shen Ling raised his head and said eagerly and loudly, "Whatever you want me to do, as long as you tell me where the owner of this scale is!" ”

If I knew where the owner of this scale was, would I still need you?

The black bird sneered in his heart. More than 300 years ago, the owner of this scale tried his best to subdue him as his natal soul beast, but he was finally injured by him and thrown out of the alien beast forest along with the humans who accompanied him. The scales he left behind as a trophy.

If he could choose that mermaid, his heart would not be as strong as it is now, after all, that mermaid is not only beautiful, but also more powerful. Moreover, if that mermaid knew that he could make him, who was a guardian holy beast, deign to become a natal soul beast, he would definitely not have the same annoying reaction as the mermaid cub in front of him.

"I can tell you where the owner of this scale is, but before that, you must let me merge into your mermaid soul and become your natal soul beast. And make a vow that for the rest of your life, you will find a way for me to repair my body and be reborn again, otherwise my soul will fall into the sevenfold netherworld, and there will be no peace for eternity. ”

"What should I do?"

"Bite the middle finger of your right hand, drip your mermaid's blood into the holy lake in front of you, and silently recite an oath in your heart, if you have any insincerity, the holy lake will naturally be able to tell, and you can't blame me for being swallowed by the holy lake at that time."

"Good!" Without any hesitation, Shen Ling ran to the lake and bit his middle finger hard. He used too much force, and even a small piece of finger flesh was bitten off by him, and he gasped, Shen Ling endured the pain and dripped blood into the lake, and silently recited in his heart: "All my life, I will find a way for the phoenix bird to repair the body and be reborn again, otherwise the soul will fall into the sevenfold netherworld realm, and there will be no peace for eternity." ”

The oath ended, and the dark waters of the lake began to ripple golden in circles from where he had dripped. The ripples spread out, and the entire dark lake was shrouded in a pale golden light. Inside the dark stone cliffs, the golden water of the lake gives the illusion of being in a fairyland.

Shen Ling was deeply attracted by the beautiful scene in front of him, and forgot about the black bird behind him. The little white tiger also paced over, standing by the lake and looking up excitedly.

The golden light slowly dimmed, and the stone cliff regained its previous darkness, and the little white tiger let out a low roar of dissatisfaction. Shen Ling came back to his senses and heard the black bird calling him behind him.

"How, have you seen the power of the Sacred Lake?"

"Yes!" Shen Ling turned his head, unable to hide the excitement that came from his heart, and his eyes were shining.

The black bird sneered and asked, "Are you ready to take my soul?" ”

Shen Ling's immature voice replied firmly, "I have no problem. ”

The voice of the black bird became solemn and solemn in the next moment. "Open your soul and don't try to resist, the process may be painful, but after my beast soul merges into your mermaid soul, you will become a true powerhouse who can see the stars."

Shen Ling held his breath and looked deeply at the black bird. He doesn't know what a strong man is, and he doesn't care if he can become a strong man, his only thought at this time is to satisfy the black bird, and then get the news of the clansmen!

The last shred of life in the crippled shell of the black bird died, and a fiery red flame soul leaped out of the shell, and the orange-red light once again illuminated the dark stone cliff inside.

The flame's soul body soared into the air, turning into a brilliant phoenix void body, and poured straight into his body from Shen Ling's eyebrows.

"Ahhhhh

The moment the powerful soul of the phoenix bird entered Shen Ling's body, Shen Ling only felt that his body no longer belonged to him. He knelt on the ground with his back to the lake, tearing at his hair in pain.

He remembered how he felt burned alive in his dreams, the scorching flames that could scorch even his soul into smoke. The pain at this moment was even worse than then, and he had realized that this was not fusion, this was snatching!

The black bird ran rampant inside him, and when he got to the back, he tried to devour his soul with his great power.

Has he been deceived?

Is his body going to be charged?

Is he going to die?

No! He will never allow it, absolutely not! He doesn't want to die, don't die again!

"What's going on?" After entering the three-dimensional space belonging to the soul in Shen Ling's body, the phoenix bird was also dumbfounded, didn't this mermaid cub awaken the soul of the mermaid? Why didn't he even have the most rudimentary soul power in his body?

Could it be that he was mistaken? This little mermaid cub didn't wake up at all? Then why is there such a powerful layer of soul power shrouded in him?

The phoenix bird rampaged in Shen Ling's soul space, and finally reluctantly confirmed that this seemingly awakened mermaid cub had not awakened at all!

He was deceived by a mermaid cub who didn't even have any hair!

But he had abandoned his body and entered the body of the mermaid cub, and his back path was cut off. At present, he only has two choices, snatch the mermaid cub's body, or condense a rudimentary soul power echo for him.

If you want to build an echo pattern for him, it will inevitably consume a lot of his soul power. Relying on one's own strength to condense the primary soul power echo pattern, it is very simple for people or beasts who can perceive soul power a little. On the other hand, the difficulty of relying on external forces to condense the primary echo pattern is the other extreme, which requires a large amount of soul power from the helper, and the success rate is terrifyingly low, only about 20%.

It is not easy for his soul power to persist until now, and then divide part of it to condense the echo pattern for the mermaid cub, then even if the mermaid cub's bloodline power awakens, as his natal soul beast, he may not be able to awaken.

The back road is broken, and he only has one choice left, to snatch the body of the mermaid cub!

No one or a strange beast, even a guardian holy beast, would not snatch the body of a mermaid lightly unless it was absolutely necessary.

As God's favorite race, the soul potential of the merfolk is almost endless. Even the weakest and weakest mermaids can erupt with incredibly powerful soul power when their lives are threatened.

The phoenix bird wants to gamble, Shen Ling is a half-breed mermaid, and the mermaid blood in his body is not strong, and he has not yet awakened any kind of power in his soul or bloodline.

Perhaps, he had a chance to snatch Shen Ling's body.

Even if obtaining this body is not as convenient and simple for him as it is to become a mermaid's natal soul beast, it is very likely that his power will be limited because of this. But at least, he would have more time to use this body and find a way to nirvana again.

After the phoenix bird made up its mind, it immediately used its soul power to destroy and devour Shen Ling's own soul.

In Shen Ling's body, a fierce battle began.

I only heard Shen Ling grabbing his throat and letting out a heart-rending roar of pain, and his neck was scratched by black nails.

……

Sure enough, as expected by the Phoenix Bird, from the outside, Shen Ling's body was wrapped in a layer of powerful soul power. But in fact, his own soul power is not strong, and even at the most dangerous moment of his life, the power that bursts out is still not enough to compete with him.

"If you have such a little ability, I will accept your body." In the three-dimensional space belonging to the soul, the phoenix bird parked in mid-air looked coldly at the soul body of Shen Ling's mermaid form that was forced into the corner by himself and trembled. "If you can awaken your soul power by yourself and condense the primary echo pattern, I will definitely not choose such a troublesome way to devour you, if you want to blame yourself, blame yourself for being too weak."

As he finished speaking, his dark blue eyes erupted with fine light, and his flaming wings fanned out small whirlwinds of flame in the claustrophobic space. The flame whirlwind struck Shen Ling's weak soul body, and the originally pale soul body became almost transparent after the Phoenix Bird's attack.

The Phoenix Bird was in no mood to play boring games with Shen Ling anymore, so he swooped down towards Shen Ling, determined to use the final blow to shatter Shen Ling's soul into a star, and then slowly absorb it.

However, the moment he was about to approach Shen Ling's mermaid body, he instinctively sensed the danger.
