Chapter 299: The Third Circle
No matter who you were or what ethnicity you were in life, as long as you enter another dimension, you will no longer be any different from others. All soul elements are the same, with no bloodline, no power, and no ability to use any of the skills they learned before they were born. Whether it's a human or a demon, if you want to survive here, you have to make yourself strong. And whether it is in the present world or in another dimension, whether it has a physical body or only a soul element, one thing is the same - devouring the souls of others can make oneself strong.
At this level, the power from the environment has obviously increased a lot, and even makes them feel like they have just entered this place. It takes most of the energy to keep the soul from being torn apart under the action of the huge tearing force, and if you rush forward in this situation, it will be difficult to parry if you are attacked.
Bi Lingxiao thought about it and decided to go around this layer first. On the one hand, it can make itself more able to adapt to the strength of this circle of environment, and on the other hand, it can also find the soul element of Mochen by the way. It's just that Mochen has been dead for a long time, and it is likely that he has already passed the trial here, and the hope that they can find each other is not high.
Pushing aside the two souls huddled in front of them, they moved in the direction of the tearing force. Of course, they are not the only ones in trouble in this level, and the souls in the second circle are obviously much more restless than those outside. Either they are crowded and planning to march to the third circle, or they are fighting together in a vain attempt to devour each other's souls and strengthen themselves, and those who stay where they are are either trying to adapt to the intensity of the environment here like them, or they have just won a big battle and need to recharge their energy in order to continue the action.
Running in circles is also difficult at first, as they have to deal with the onslaught of the environment, but also the attacks of other souls. Since they are in the same circle, the difference in their own strength is not too big, and the three of them are a team, although they encountered a little trouble at first, they slowly became easier. When the man who tore off the arm of a soul screamed in pain and fled, Bi Lingxiao felt that he had finally adapted to the environmental power of this circle again.
"I'm feeling better now, what about you?"
"Me too. ”
Purple Pine Lin said casually, still holding a ball of things in his hand. Since Bi Lingxiao has always been in front, he will naturally bear the brunt of the attack, he walks behind, and he has received much less interference, and it is one of those few interferences that he is holding in his hand now.
How could he be easily challenged by a challenge? Along the way, he grabbed the soul and kneaded and pulled it into various shapes. The soul was screaming for mercy at first, but in the end, no matter how much it was fiddled with, it was clear that it had given up on itself.
Looking at the lump that seemed to have lost any of his intelligence, Bi Lingxiao expressed great sympathy, and then looked at his hand.
"Where's the little one?"
"I can hold on. ”
Ever since discovering the magic of the Demon Spirit, this good weapon has never left his hand. Whether digging a hole to defend or attack someone, this baguette has a huge role in its own way!
"That's good!"
Of course, there was no trace of Mochen in the second circle. When they came back again, whether it was the environment or the souls around them, they were already at ease, Bi Lingxiao saw the guy who had bitten him before, the other party saw him, and without saying a word, he turned around and burrowed into the soul pile, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"It's amazing, you gnawed off most of your soul, and you can still come to this circle so quickly?"
"I thought he would be eaten by other people, is it so easy for the soul element to repair itself?" Bi Lingxiao was also a little surprised.
Although the last time he met this person was a long time ago, but after all, he ate most of that person's soul, and when he left, this guy was already dying, and it was extremely difficult to ensure that he was not torn apart by the power of the environment, plus the surrounding souls were eyeing him, I am afraid it would not be long before he was eaten and wiped clean. Now they just wandered around for a while, and when they came back, they actually saw this person again. And it seems that the other party's soul element is very complete, not only has the swallowed part been repaired, but the degree of condensation has increased a lot.
"How is it possible, the soul element is the most difficult part to repair, otherwise why would we have to wait for 50,000 years?" Zi Pine Lin sneered. "That guy must have devoured other souls to repair himself. ”
That's right, his soul was repaired after staying in the Empty Mirror for so long, and that person didn't have such an artifact, not to mention that he was still in another dimension, how could he recover so quickly. If a soul has such a self-healing ability, then I'm afraid no one will enter another dimension, and they will have fully recovered long before the soul dissipates!
Bi Lingxiao no longer bothered about this problem, since they didn't find Mochen, it was time for them to move on to the next circle. Reaching out and poking the soul in front of him, he smiled.
"Brother, let me go?"
When the man was touched by him, he was full of excitement, and immediately twisted his body and moved away.
"Thank you!"
A few people Shi Shiran floated over, and the person involuntarily retreated when the demon spirit's head passed in front of him, obviously remembering the hardships he had suffered on this stick at that time.
After the baptism of the second circle, their souls were much more solidified, and they did not encounter much resistance on the way to the third circle. The more you move forward, the fewer the number of souls becomes, and by the third circle, there is no longer such a crowded scene of face to face, shoulder to shoulder.
There is no need to rely on hard pulling to open the way, the souls in the third circle are floating independently, and there is at least half a foot between each soul. It was probably the second lap that they had been spending a long time, and when they actually came to the third lap, they didn't feel the huge tearing force they expected, although the energy here was obviously stronger than the previous lap, but it was not to the point where they needed to stop and rest.
"Although I was a little unbearable when I first came in, it seems that this trial is not impassable. ”
They entered this place in the form of souls, which was much lower than the strength of the soul element, and they were almost unable to hold on to such a huge impact of power at the beginning. It's just that it is in times of crisis that the potential can be exploded.
Exercising in a tough environment will improve your physical fitness. Not only can the body be tempered, but so can the soul. Compared to the physical body, the soul is obviously fragile, otherwise it would not need the protection of the body, but although it is fragile, once it persists, the improvement obtained is also very obvious.
At this time, Bi Lingxiao had already figured out the routines in this cooking machine. This is a huge energy field, this field is divided into many circles, the outermost circle has the lowest power, and the soul that has just entered will also be thrown to the outermost circle. Although the strength is the lowest, the outermost ring is actually the easiest place to get lost. Because the soul has just entered, it has never been affected by such a powerful force before, and if the mind is not firm or unbearable, it will be destroyed. Most of the green smoke they saw on the outside before entering this place was also produced by the dissipation of the souls of the outer circle.
The first step is the hardest. Because you haven't experienced it before, and you haven't made sufficient preparations, you will lose all the games if you are not careful. But as long as you adapt to the situation here, under the action of huge external forces, the soul power is actually increasing little by little. According to the criterion that the further you go inward, the more difficult it becomes, I am afraid that there is a high probability that there is a gate to leave this place in the center of this proving ground. It's just that if you want to complete the trial, you not only need to withstand the strength in the field, but more importantly, you have to deal with the attacks of others.
While souls can be strengthened under the influence of ambient energy, nothing can do more than the increase brought by directly devouring souls.
The souls in the outermost circle have just entered and don't know how to survive themselves, but when they enter the second circle, everyone will understand the principle of surviving here, that is, to make themselves stronger, and devouring others is the most direct way. The soul they encountered before was a typical example, although stealing chickens could not lead to the erosion of rice, causing most of their souls to be swallowed, but they also relied on devouring other souls later, not only making up for their own broken soul elements, but even entering the center of the second circle like several of them.
There was already a sense of fighting in the second lap, let alone the third lap beyond the second lap. Within his field of vision, Bi Lingxiao had already seen at least three places of struggle, but the fighting circles that took place here were slightly different.
On the second lap, the areas where the arguments arise are usually very chaotic. Because in addition to the two who really have contradictions, there are many other souls who join them. These souls are intertwined, and usually only one person can stand to the end. On the third lap, such a scuffle is extremely rare.
I saw that there were only two people in the center of the three battle circles as far as the eye could see, except for the two souls who were fighting together, the souls around them were only spectators, as if they had no intention of joining the battle. But people who have entered the third circle may not be aggressive? Of course not.
Bi Lingxiao clearly saw that the onlookers were always paying attention to the situation of the two people in the battle, it was not that they didn't want to join them, but they were waiting, waiting for the moment when one side was defeated. The defeated soul will be the food for all the onlookers, and if the winning soul is too damaged in the fight, it is likely that even he will end up in the same fate.
So in the third circle, if you want to plunder the souls of others, you have to pay attention. If you attack first, you won't necessarily be the last to be the last, because there are countless souls around you. If you win hard, not only will you not be able to benefit from the loser, but you may even end up riding yourself in.
"It seems that the more you get inside, the more these souls become wiser, and they know how to reap the benefits in the most effective and self-preserving way!"
Not all problems can be solved with a hard time, since there is a way to get benefits without risking yourself, so why not?
"At least here, we don't expect to be attacked. ”
Bi Lingxiao looked ahead to the left, where the battle had come to an end, and one of the souls had defeated the other with overwhelming strength. And just as he expected, the soul that failed was instantly devoured by the souls who had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
If you want to devour the souls of others without being coveted by the souls around you to take advantage of the fisherman, then you can only take the initiative if you are much stronger than the other party. The three of them acted as a group, and they had a much superior numerical advantage over these individual souls, and as long as they were hugging each other, it was rare for someone not to take the initiative to challenge them.
In the first and second laps, there were a lot of attacks, but when you actually got to the inner ring, you had a lot fewer battles. The three of them relied on the advantage of the small team to pass the third and fourth laps in succession, and they did not receive a single attack except for dealing with the troubles caused by the environment. Just when Bi Lingxiao even began to think that they might be smooth sailing until they reached the innermost circle, the team that suddenly appeared stopped them.
