Chapter 38: Burying the Skeleton of Sin
In the complex terrain of the Soul Beast Forest, a young man and woman were fleeing in horror. The sun has been setting and the vision is getting worse and worse. One of the girls slipped on the soles of her feet because she couldn't see the terrain clearly and fell.
The boy who was with him quickly stopped and pulled it up, panting and asking, "You...... Are you okay? ”
The girl shook her head to indicate that it was okay, but said with a look of despair: "Why would we have such a thing. ”
At this moment, there was another sound behind them, and the two of them got up again and fled in a hurry like frightened birds. At this point, both of them were exhausted, but there was no way, they couldn't stop. Once they stop and are caught up by the guys behind them, they will be greeted only by death, and they will become like their companions before.
However, what they don't know is that the few black shadows that have been chasing them behind them can actually catch up with them in an instant, and the reason why they want to hang like this now is to reduce their physical strength, and the second is to satisfy the perverted game psychology of these people.
Yes, in the Soul Beast Forest, they are not chased by soul beasts, but by a group of cruel humans. And these existences that specifically target other soul masters are a group of evil soul masters.
These evil soul masters all practice a mysterious and cruel technique, which can become stronger in a short period of time by absorbing the power of other soul masters, and the soul masters who are sucked will become human.
For them, the quickest and safest way is to find a large number of low-level soul masters who are not very high-level. Of course, they wouldn't be stupid enough to find a high-level soul master, not only would it be laborious, but if they kicked the iron plate, they would be unlucky.
"Yes, run a little longer, hehe, run a little longer and it will become my strength."
Jace, the leader, looked at the two people who were desperately fleeing in the distance, and his blood-red eyes had burst out with greedy light.
"Hey, boss, can you keep a little brother this time?"
"That's right, you had four prey on your own before."
Faced with the complaints of the younger brothers, Jace rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I know, the boy with a thicker foundation will be given to you, and the weaker girl will be given to me." ”
The crowd burst into cheers, and their cheers, which sounded like demonic laughter from the two people fleeing for their lives in front.
"I don't ...... No more. Senior brother, at least you are alone, run away. ”
Finally, the girl who couldn't support her physical strength collapsed, and the boy looked at the evil soul master who was getting closer and closer behind him, and he also gave up, and he squatted down beside the girl with a tired face, and shook his head.
"It's useless, with my ability, no matter where I flee, I will be chased by them, it's better to stay with my junior sister, at least someone will accompany you on the road, not alone."
Looking at the determination in the boy's eyes, the girl seemed to realize something. She nodded with tears in her eyes.
"I understand Senior Brother, it's all a death anyway, why should we cheapen these demons, Senior Brother, give me a ride."
The boy nodded with red eyes: "Well, let's go together, junior sister, please." ”
Almost at the same time, the two of them burst out with the last trace of soul power on their bodies, and under the backdrop of the soul ring, their respective martial souls appeared, both of which were sword-shaped martial souls.
Seeing this scene from afar, Jace immediately realized what they were going to do, with a hideous smile on his face, and said gloomily, "Suicide? Haha, you are the prey, and the prey does not have the power to decide its own fate. Stop them! ”
"Yes! Top dog! ”
As he spoke, the soul rings of all of them were released, and they simultaneously unleashed attack soul skills on the man and woman, which were enough to interrupt their suicide. Of course, under this bombardment, although they will not die, they will be seriously injured to the point of hanging in a state of breath. However, for these evil soul masters, as long as the prey does not die, they can gain power, so naturally they will not consider whether these prey will experience pain before they die.
The level of this pair of men and women is still inferior to that of the evil soul masters, and before they could stab the sword in their hands into each other's hearts, they have already been affected by the attacks of these evil soul masters. In an instant, the place where they were detonated a shock wave several meters high, kicking up a cloud of dust.
And at this time, Jace and the others had already rushed to them, because they were full of dust in front of them, so they couldn't see them for the time being. He angrily smacked the head of the little brother beside him.
"Damn, you're trying too hard! What if I get killed this time? It's not just a waste of time......"
"Boss, look!" The other junior brother pointed to the front and said with a confused expression, "What is that?" ”
"Huh?"
The air was filled with the sound of metal touching it, and the man and woman were gone, replaced by a ball of silver coins that they heard as they wriggled as they squirmed.
"This ...... What is this? ”
"Coins?"
"Could it be a martial spirit?"
Hearing someone mention the martial spirit, everyone immediately became alert, Jace's face became gloomy, and he naturally realized that someone had rescued them, and the two of them were now in that pile of coins. This is the prey they have spent hanging for a long time, how can it make people spoil a good thing.
So he released the martial soul, and at the same time, the four soul rings of white, yellow, yellow and purple also appeared. His martial soul was a chain-like thing that poured out of his palm, and then his fourth purple soul ring lit up. The chains in his palms began to split into a large number of branches, and they all pierced towards the pile of coins in front of them.
"Pretend! Fourth Soul Skill! Chain Hell! ”
However, as soon as the chains came into contact with the pile of coins, they were blocked by the hand made of coins sticking out of it, and on closer inspection, something resembling an arm knife had grown from the wrist of this arm. Then a cold female voice rang out.
"Found it, a human with an evil aura, huh...... It's a lot of desire. ”
As the sound sounded, a green dot suddenly lit up in the large number of coins, and then all the coins poured towards the green dot.
Not only the arms, but these coins directly formed a humanoid shape, and finally the green light flashed, and a humanoid monster with an extremely strange appearance and a whole body of white and green colors appeared in front of them.
The monster is feminine, with jivering insect wings on its back, and the white part of its body has the texture of bones, while the green part resembles the carapace of an insect.
She had a pair of flexible tentacles on her head, compound eyes peculiar to insects, and the rest of her face looked like she was covered with a layer of armor.
And the most striking thing is the bone knife that winds outward from her wrist, nearly half a meter long, and from a distance, it is flashed to the eyes by its sharp blade. The whole thing looks like a human-like praying mantis.
"Old ...... Boss, what kind of soul beast is this? ”
Humanoid soul beasts, they hadn't seen them before, but they had never seen such a weird one, and what frightened them the most was that the standing praying mantis seemed to speak just now. Soul beasts can talk, what does that mean? There is no soul master who does not know.
Jace suddenly had a bad premonition, and he noticed that just behind this mantis woman, lying quietly the man and woman they had just hunted, and it seemed that they had just fainted. This shows that it was the strange-looking existence in front of them that saved them just now.
"Don't scare yourself, if you speak, you must be a 100,000-year soul beast? If it was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, how could we still be standing here and doing well? She is clearly a human being, and this appearance is just her martial soul true body. All ready to fight! ”
However, as soon as his words fell, the mantis girl in front of him disappeared in an instant, turned into a pile of coins again, and rushed towards everyone, and in the next second, he had already caught one of them.
"Uhh Boss save me!! ”
The mantis girl who appeared again grabbed the other party's neck tightly and slowly approached the other party's face: "Let me see, what your desires look like." ”
As she spoke, her eyes shone brightly, and a miraculous scene appeared, a long hole appeared on the man's forehead, and then, the mantis girl threw a silver coin in her other hand, and at the same time let go of him.
"What's wrong? What did she do to you? ”
That scene just now really scared Jace, he made a hole in the person's forehead, and after throwing something into it, the hole disappeared again? He had never seen anything so weird.
And the man who was thrown a coin checked his body in a panic and found that there did not seem to be any discomfort, and he was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Boss, I don't seem to ...... Not! Uh......"
As the words were right, the man suddenly began to writhe, and something more evil happened, only to see a black hole appear in his chest, and from the black hole stretched out a hand wrapped in strips of cloth, and then a strange man with strips of cloth wrapped in strips all over his body, like a mummy, crawled out.
"Uhhhhh What a thing!! ”
The man collapsed to the ground in panic, looking at the strange man who had emerged from his body with a look of horror.
The mantis girl said calmly: "What's the alarm, this is just your own desire, look at it well, everything it does is what you want." ”
Sure enough, the weirdo didn't hurt him, but stared at the others around him.
"Uh-woo-woo-woo......"
I saw the strange man pounce, and it seemed to be moving slowly, but it pounced on one of the people who was already frightened stupid with great speed.
"Ahh Let me go! Let me go!! Uhhh ”
Like a person who fell into a swamp, the person who was knocked down was instantly integrated into his body by the cloth strip monster, and then the monster crawled up twistedly, convulsed twice, and vomited him out of his body.
Only when he came out again was lifeless, and turned into a dried corpse that they knew well. That's right, those soul masters who have devoured their power by them are like this.
"Well, sure enough, your desire is to devour power, it's really easy to understand."
In the face of the calm mantis girl, everyone was frightened and began to attack the strange man who began to turn closer to them. Yet it ignored the attacks as if it were not painful. Then another lunge was made, and another person was grabbed, and the scene was repeated again, and in the blink of an eye, another dried corpse fell in front of them.
And this time, this cloth monster changed, only to see that hot air began to emerge from its body, and then the cloth strips on its body broke and fell in the heat, and another mantis monster came out of it, but this mantis monster is obviously different from the mantis girl on the side, that is, it has a human face.
"Hatched, then...... Destroy them. ”
"Yes!"
The mantis monster is no longer as rigid as the cloth strip monster just now, not only can it speak, but even its fighting style has become regular, attacking these people with great precision.
"Quick...... Evacuate!! ”
Even Jace, who had been shattered by what had just happened, was the first to turn and run away after screaming, and these men hurriedly followed in panic. Obviously, they were chasing people just now, but in the blink of an eye, they became the side being chased, which is really ironic.
Looking at these people who were chased and fled by the mantis monster, the mantis girl turned around and glanced at the men and women who were sleeping peacefully, and then said softly.
"My lord, the people have been saved, as for the group of people......"
From time to time, there were screams from his companions behind him, and Jace was already sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to look behind him. I don't know how long it took, the voice behind him was gone, and he knew that his little brothers were all gone. But he didn't dare to stop, and it wasn't until he could no longer hear anything behind him that he slowly stopped, panting in horror.
However, at this moment, there was a noise directly in front of him, which frightened him into running away immediately, but when he looked closely, it was actually a humanly dressed human walking towards him step by step.
Seeing that the other party was a human, he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, he never thought that meeting a strange human in the soul beast forest would make him so relieved.
"Hey! After...... There's a monster chasing after you, it's very powerful, join forces with me, and let's escape together. ”
"Monsters?" The other party's tone was full of anger and mockery, "Isn't the monster already here?" ”
"What?" Jace looked around in horror, but there was nothing but the two of them, and he was already so frightened that he became angry on the spot, "You're kidding me? ”
"Trick you? No, no, no. ”
At this time, the other party had already walked less than ten meters away from him, and it was only then that Jace noticed that the other party seemed to be just a young man who was not very old. He wears a white felt hat that hides his expression, and a red belt with a slot pinned to his waist, which is very weird.
I saw him slowly raise his hand and point to himself and said, "Aren't you, who have devoured so many young lives, a monster?" I'm right, Necromancer. ”
As soon as he heard the other party tell his identity, Jace's expression turned cold: "Who are you?" Soul Master Guild's? ”
The other man slowly raised his head, revealing an eye that had already been filled with anger. At the same time, a flash of light flashed at him, and a black and purple cuboid item appeared in his hand, and this item was printed with a white skull.
"Who am I? I am the one who buries sin. ”
Gently press the button on the item in your hand.
【SKULL! (Skull)】
Slowly take off the white felt hat on top of his head.
"Well, count your sins. Transform! ”
