Chapter 52: The Horse-Head Monster and the Fifth Soul Ring
Retracting his gaze from the darkness, Xu Ran subconsciously leaned towards the center of the road.
The terrible screams in the darkness just now were still in his ears, especially the continuous chewing sound of grinding his teeth, which made him feel a little hairy in his heart.
There is no monster in the dark, and although he does not have a clear goal at the moment, he will never risk his life to return to the darkness to investigate.
One by one, the ghosts passed through Xu Ran's body as if they were nothing, and they wailed or laughed to themselves, but more often than not, they were silent.
There are so many negative emotions that death brings to them that they are not interested in the appearance of Xu Ran, an "alien".
Slowly moving forward in the team of ghosts, Xu Ran looked around from time to time, and there was only endless darkness left in his eyes except for ghosts.
Huangquan Road emits a faint fluorescence, dispelling the unknown fear in the darkness.
walk
Keep walking,
Xu Ran's footsteps gradually changed from brisk to numb,
He didn't know how long he had been gone,
week,
January
Or longer.
This Huangquan Road seems to be endless, and there is no end in sight.
"Wake up."
At a certain moment, Xu Ran heard a whisper that suddenly appeared in his ear, and slowly opened his hazy eyes.
In front of him was a monster with a horse's head and a human body, nearly ten meters tall, a sturdy muscle mass like a small mountain bag full of endless explosive power, a necklace made of skulls hanging around his neck, a cold lock chain on his shoulder, and a large knife more than ten meters long in his hand exuded bursts of yin energy, I don't know how many dead souls were killed.
"I know what you're coming for, come with me."
The horse-headed monster said angrily, and walked towards the darkness in the distance.
It can cross a distance of six or seven meters with each step, leaving a huge footprint on the ground.
Seeing the figure of the horse-headed monster melting into the darkness, Xu Ran hesitated for a moment and quickly followed.
"Is this the underworld?"
Xu Ran caught up with the other party and asked.
"Hmm." The horse-headed monster nodded, confirming the guess in Xu Ran's heart.
The horse-headed monster didn't seem to be good at talking, and since then, no matter how Xu Ran asked, he was silent, just rushing forward.
Maybe it was because Xu Ran had too many problems that made it a little unhappy, its speed had increased a lot, and Xu Ran could only use his soul power to keep up with it.
After walking for a long time, it was estimated that it was four or five kilometers away, and the horse-headed monster suddenly stopped in place.
A pair of eyes scanned back and forth in the darkness, as if searching for something.
In one breath and one breath, two white gases visible to the naked eye exhaled from the two huge nostrils of the horse-headed monster, and there was a blower-like sound in the chest.
Its arms suddenly stretched dozens of times, and when it retracted again, it clutched a dying black creature in its hands.
"This business is busy, don't say much."
"This greedy beast is a juvenile, but it's enough for you, so finish it off with your own hands and leave quickly."
After the horse-headed monster finished speaking, he turned around and left without the slightest drag.
Only Xu Ran, who looked puzzled, and the young greedy beast that was dying.
I don't know if the horse-headed monster used some means, and all the darkness within ten meters around them melted like ice and snow along the way.
Although the horse-headed monster has a tendency to re-emerge as it leaves the darkness, the speed of the upsurge is very slow, so there is no need to worry too much.
Xu Ran looked at the greedy beast in front of him seriously, it was a new species he had never seen before.
It is jet black, about six meters long, resembles a centipede, has two horns on its head, and two large pincers at its mouth are hideously exposed to the air.
It doesn't have many feet, only six, but each one is thick and powerful, up to a third the width of its body.
At this moment, there was a large hole in the middle of its body that ran up and down, and the internal organs inside were clearly visible, and the viscous green blood pooled into a stream, extending into the darkness not far away.
The ravenous beast's struggle is getting weaker and weaker, and it looks like it could die at any moment.
Thinking of the horse-headed monster's advice, Xu Ran summoned Tianhe Dinghai and struck the greedy beast on the head to send it to life.
The head was shattered, and the greedy beast stopped struggling completely, and its corpse turned into wisps of black gas and floated into the darkness, leaving three items in place.
A black soul ring that floats quietly,
A palm-sized black soul bone,
and an unknown black bead.
Xu Ran was a little stunned when he looked at this, but a touch of ecstasy soon welled up on his face.
Now that his soul power has reached level 50, he is missing a suitable soul ring.
I was thinking of asking Zao Wou-Ki to help hunt it when I went to the Star Dou Great Forest, but who knew that I would encounter such a good thing as a soul ring falling from the sky after a good night's sleep.
Compared to the 10,000-year soul ring, the value of that black soul bone was even more incalculable.
If you describe it in eight words,
Dreamed, priceless.
As for the last black bead, Xu Ran held it in his hand for a long time and didn't see any clues, so he had to temporarily put it into the storage ring.
Sitting cross-legged, Xu Ran's fingertips lightly touched the soul ring.
In an instant, the surging soul power poured into his body, and he walked all over his body under the guidance of Tianhe Dinghai.
There was no difference between the soul ring produced by this greedy giant beast and the soul ring of an ordinary soul beast, and after half an hour, the absorption was over, and a fifth 10,000-year soul ring appeared under Xu Ran's feet.
The age of the fifth soul ring is about 52,000 years, and the first four soul rings have also greatly increased their age under the "crazy increase".
The first soul ring: 900 + 2200 + 4500 + 10500 + 26000 = 44100 years
Second Soul Ring: 4500 + 4500 + 10500 + 26000 = 45500 years
The third soul ring: 9000 + 10500 + 26000 = 45500 years
Fourth Soul Ring: 21,000 + 26,000 = 47,000 years
Fifth Soul Ring: 52000
With the increase in the age of the soul ring, the soul skill has also been strengthened to varying degrees.
The effect of the first soul skill remains the same, but the soul power consumption is reduced.
The number of clones conjured by the second soul skill has been increased to ten,
The third soul skill healing and damage avoidance effects are increased simultaneously,
Fourth, the number of soul skill teleportations and distance are increased simultaneously.
As for the fact that he had just obtained the fifth soul technique, Xu Ran was very satisfied, so much so that he kept a faint smile on his face.
Fifth Soul Skill, Heaven and Earth Splitting: Summons a circular barrier that locks all enemies within range. Instantly absorbs 20% of all enemies' attributes in the locked state, and cannot leave the barrier range in the locked state, and the barrier cannot be broken or traversed.
According to the description of the soul skill, the new soul skill is equivalent to a group control skill, as long as you don't actively undo or die, the ring barrier will always exist, restricting the movement of the enemy.
And it can also reduce the enemy's full attributes by 20% and feed it back to itself.
You must know that the attribute value of self-improvement is not fixed, the more enemies and the higher the soul power, the more attributes you get.
It can be said that when it is strong, it is strong,
Weak ...... It is easy to kill.
Looking at the five darker soul rings under his feet, Xu Ran felt that his body was full of inexhaustible power, more than twice as powerful as before.
Trembling all over, he set his gaze on the darkness not far away.
Ever since the horse-headed monster left, things in the dark have not been very honest.
When Xu Ran stared at the darkness, it seemed that countless pairs of eyes were also staring at him.
The rustle of chaotic footsteps,.
The thick darkness keeps rolling,
It was as if something was about to burst out of the darkness at any moment and pounce on his face.
