Chapter 61: Ability Advancement
"What, you're going to go in, I don't agree!"
When Tang Lin said that he was going to enter the corpse forest, Irina almost jumped up from the spot and shouted against it.
Even on the edge of this place, she could feel her mana suppressed.
You must know that death qi and life mana are inherently mutually reinforcing, and if one is suppressed, it means that one is at least twice as strong as the other.
She was suppressed like this before she entered the forest, and she had to enter the forest, so it was impossible for her to agree with Tang Lin's decision no matter what.
"I'll just get closer, let Xiao Wang accompany me, no matter how bad it is, tie me to Xiao Wang with a rope, and let it run back if there is danger!"
Tang Lin didn't want Irina to worry, but he didn't want to give up his desire to try, after all, not every opportunity to increase the power of devouring could be encountered.
The two of them insisted and argued, but in the end, Xiao Wang screamed twice, directly became more than one meter tall, and arched the two of them with his big head.
"Look, Xiao Wang is signaling that it can protect me, right, Xiao Wang!"
Tang Lin was pleasantly surprised, and Xiao Wang nodded fiercely with his question, and in the end, Irina gave in.
"Alas, sweet burden!"
After Tang Lin sighed in his heart, he immediately turned over and rode on Xiao Wang, and his wide back made him feel very comfortable.
However, this comfort did not last long, and at a distance of dozens of meters, Xiao Wang quickly stepped over, and almost in the blink of an eye, he arrived in the corpse forest.
A cold aura instantly enveloped Tang Lin, and his upper body immediately felt the freezing cold, and the corners of his clothes had even begun to appear with ice ballast.
"Xiao Wang is really a dead air buster!"
As soon as Tang Lin lowered his head, he found that Xiao Wang's body was emitting a glowing red light, blocking those substantial dead qi a few centimeters above his fur.
"Okay Xiaowang, let's not go in there yet! I'll absorb the dead air at the edge and see the effect!"
Tang Lin patted Xiao Wang's head and motioned for it to stop, and at the same time raised his right hand lightly, directly using the devouring power.
The vortex in the palm of his hand rotated extremely fast, directly channeling those dead qi into Tang Lin's body.
At this time, Tang Lin felt that his meridians, blood, and even every cell were going to be frozen.
But just when he wanted to stop, the spirit ball in his brain domain automatically transformed into an illusion state, and twenty-four beast-shaped phantoms were directly projected into Tang Lin's mind.
Each of them let out a terrifying roar, and then, those dead qi began to enter his mind along Tang Lin's meridians.
Twenty-four demonic beast phantoms formed a circle in his mind, and energy lines shot out from their bodies, directly pulling those dead qi in the center.
After a while, the dead qi absorbed by Tang Lin condensed into a ball in his mind, and then it was continuously compressed under the power of the demonic beast.
Eventually, the dead air turned into a round bead that began to spin continuously, and it also began to actively absorb the new dead air.
The moment the beads were formed, Tang Lin was no longer threatened by the cold qi of this corpse forest, and as he absorbed the dead qi, the devouring power became stronger and stronger.
It wasn't until a jet-black ring appeared at the top of the bead that the devouring power gradually slowed down.
Later, the bead gradually shrunk to the size of a thumb, and the black dead air in the bead was completely absorbed by the inky ring, and finally became transparent.
At this time, Tang Lin felt that his devouring power had reached a bottleneck and could no longer be strengthened.
However, the dead qi was now completely unthreatening to him, and not only that, it was also able to form a two-meter-diameter protected area around him, ensuring that the contents inside would not be corroded by the dead air.
"It's estimated that it took a lot of time to cultivate for a while, Irina should be worried!"
Tang Lin put away his desire to continue exploring, and prepared to go back first to tell everyone about his gains.
However, he didn't walk more than ten meters back when a snow-white beast rushed to his feet and grabbed his trouser leg!
"What's going on? Doesn't it mean that there won't be any living creatures in this corpse forest, but this little thing is alive and well!
Although he didn't understand what had happened, Tang Lin obediently followed the snow-white beast towards the depths of the jungle.
However, as he continued to go deeper, the cold feeling intensified again, and the concentration of dead qi soared again.
"These dead gases are getting purer and purer!"
Tang Lin was not ambiguous, and directly turned on the devouring power again, frantically absorbing those dead qi.
This time, the ball didn't change color, but the inky ring became more agile.
After walking for about a few miles, Tang Lin suddenly seemed to hear the sound of something breaking in his head.
"Dad, there's new information that says your devouring ability has been successfully advanced to one level, and this transparent orb is called Soul Eater, which is the core of your ability, and that inky ring is called Death Ring, which can help you use death qi!"
Tang Ling's voice was still weak, but after Tang Lin heard it, he was extremely excited, he vaguely felt as if he had touched the cultivation route of this devouring power, but if he wanted to be more clear, he still needed to explore further.
Just when Tang Lin was secretly happy, he suddenly felt that the dead qi around him was rapidly thinning, and at the same time, Xiao Wang also suddenly fell to the ground with his front paws and made an attack posture.
"Little one, don't be nervous, I have no ill will towards your master!"
An old and weak voice came, and the originally thin dead air around him suddenly disappeared, and Tang Lin even felt a trace of warmth and comfort from the surrounding environment.
This huge contrast brought him not comfort, but extreme awkwardness, although the voice said that there was no malice, but Tang Lin felt that the voice was even full of some special energy.
If this energy is used to attack oneself, it is enough for oneself to be scrambling, and it may even be severely damaged.
"Ling'er, can you detect the source of this sound?"
In this case, Tang Lin could no longer continue to protect his little obedient, so he could only forcibly call her out.
"Dad, the other party is a powerful demonic beast, and it is very likely that it has been transformed, but I feel it, it should be longevity, you have to be careful!"
Without close contact, and the other party was not shrouded in the Spirit Ball Illusion, it was not easy for Tang Ling to be able to judge these from the energy fluctuations. This also consumed a lot of her energy, so much so that it made her weaker.
"Okay, Ling'er, go rest in the spirit ball, I'll deal with it!"
After Tang Lin knew this information, he also quickly analyzed the current situation in his mind, there was no distinction between friend and foe, and the threat was strong, at this time, only by calming down could he find his advantage.
Soon, Tang Lin found his advantage, and his gaze turned to the snow-white beast that was still dragging him.
"This little thing is your young beast!" Tang Lin took the little thing in his arms and stood there and spoke softly.
The moment he picked up the little beast, he immediately felt a terrifying coercion sweep over his body, but it was quickly retracted, and it felt as if it had been forcibly suppressed.
"Great Lord of Civilization, please don't hurt her, she brought you here just by mistakenly thinking that you can save me!"
The voice reappeared, becoming extremely soft, but Tang Lin still didn't see the owner of the voice.
