Volume 3 The Ruins of the Shadows Chapter 146 The Strife of the Ruins of the Shadows
After witnessing the process of this ghost named "Soul One", from ignorance to basic communication skills, Mu Bei finally completely believed what the ferry said.
If the vague blue outline at the beginning represents the soul body that has not been completely stably mapped, then absorbing the power of the surrounding souls later is a supplement to her soul body. Youqi dragged her soul away from the fog spring, and finally the old man used that strange handprint to enlighten her spirit, which was more like a unique means of inheritance among the ghost.
Although Mu Bei didn't understand it very well, this did not prevent her from having a clear understanding of the formation of the individual of the ghost at this time.
However, even if she understood what the ghost's soul body was, she still didn't have a way to condense her soul body.
So...... Is there only one way to go......
Mu Bei looked at everyone, his eyes flickering slightly.
Become a ferryman.
The whole process of awakening in the fog spring did not last long, as the fog in the fog spring became thinner, the appearance of the new ghost who came out of the fog became older and older, and in the end, an old man who looked even older than the old man in the cave came out.
Every ghost, from the beginning of their birth, their appearance is fixed, the younger and immature the ghost, the greater their soul potential, and the first birth of the old man's ghost, means that his soul body will absorb soul power extremely slowly, and there is almost no future at all.
And such a ghost, no matter where the Shadow Ruins are located, is an undesirable existence. Because they can't contribute much to the settlement, they have to consume the few resources in the settlement.
Looking at this ghost, who looked older than himself, the old man sighed slightly, motioned to Youqi to drag him over, and also helped him to enlighten his spirit.
Looking at the old man's blank and empty expression after receiving the enlightenment, the old man's heart was slightly complicated, and he said to the young ghosts around him: "No matter what kind of ghost person it is, since it was born in our fog spring, it is a member of our cave. ”
"You must not be prejudiced, nor can you look down on or look down on any of the ghosts in the settlement."
"If you let me know any of you who have behaved like this, don't blame me for the harsh punishment, do you understand?" The old man's tone was slightly heavy.
"Yes, Grandpa." The ghosts replied one after another.
"No matter what you say, in every settlement, the situation of the elderly and secluded people is not very good." A slight sigh came from Mu Bei's ears, she looked sideways slightly, and saw Ye Qingli looking at the people on the edge of the waterhole, and said softly: "But fortunately, the roles similar to the enlighteners and inheritors in the settlement will generally teach these things to an elderly ghost in the settlement when their souls are about to disappear." ”
"This is what makes the lives of those old and quiet people much better."
Mu Bei's eyes flashed slightly, looked at him and asked, "You seem to be ...... It's not quite the same. ”
"Your words don't sound like the ghosts here."
The girl's bland words made Ye Qingli slightly stunned, and he said with some doubts: "I'm definitely not a ghost here...... Didn't you look at me before......"
His words paused, and he suddenly reacted to what kind of existence the girl in front of him was, and subconsciously shrunk, hearing his words, Mu Bei understood something, she said: "I said, the person before was not me, she will not appear again." ”
"You're not going to burst out again, take control of the Phantom, and summon that weird flames again?" Ye Qingli asked cautiously by curling his neck.
Seeing the girl nodding, Ye Qingli's eyes lit up slightly, and the painful scene of being burned by Xinyan and rolling all over the ground in his mind was suddenly thrown out of the clouds, and he said to Mu Bei: "Then since you are not the ghost of this settlement, after I finish discussing things with them, you can go to my settlement with me." ”
"Our settlement is much stronger than this small place." Ye Qingli said with a hint of pride.
Mu Bei didn't speak, for her, it made no difference where she stayed in the Shadow Ruins.
It's just that she has to make her choice clear to the ferryman first.
The awakening of the Fog Spring has ended, and what remains is for the Ghost in the Cave to absorb the remaining soul power in the Fog Spring as much as possible, which is also the reason why they are competing for the opportunity to come to the Fog Spring.
Those fog springs poured into their glowing blue soul bodies, making their souls more dazzling.
In just a moment, the first to change was Youqi, I saw that his eyes were closed, and a burst of light flashed on his soul body, and a strong soul fluctuation suddenly erupted. That fluctuation suddenly woke up the other ghosts around them, and they glanced at Youqi with envious eyes, and then continued to immerse themselves in the state of absorbing soul power, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
"Fifty percent of the soul body, it is not easy for such a small settlement to appear a ghost with a soul body condensation degree of fifty percent." Ye Qingli sighed.
You Qi opened his eyes, the blue light flashing on the soul body gradually dissipated, he slowly stood up, this time absorbing the soul power has made his soul body enter a period of saturation, continuing to absorb the soul power has little effect, but not to other ghosts in the settlement, so in the curious eyes of the newborn ghosts, he walked to the old man's side.
"Youqi, good job." Looking at the figure of the young man, the old man nodded with a smile.
"As a newcomer who was just born from the last Fog Spring Awakening, you have surpassed all the ghosts in the settlement so quickly, and condensed fifty percent of the soul body, your qualifications are really extraordinary."
You Qi shook his head slightly, a petite figure involuntarily appeared in his mind, and said: "Grandpa, I haven't reached the first ghost in the settlement, and I still need to continue to work hard." ”
"Ugh." His words, the old man quickly reacted, sighed softly, and said, "I don't know when the spirit girl's soul body will completely improve." ”
"But with the ferryman here, we don't have to worry too much."
The awakening of the fog spring ended successfully, and the ghosts returned to the cave, and the old man took the newborn ghosts to introduce them to everything in the cave.
Mu Bei walked into the Tiankeng Ring Corridor, and originally wanted to go to the girl's room named Eno and ask her about something, but when he saw that the girl was still asleep on the bed full of blue crystals, he quietly left.
On the way out, I saw the ghost named Ye Qingli, standing in front of the old man, and said with a serious expression: "Excuse me, do you have time now, I want to discuss something with you on behalf of our settlement." ”
"It's about your settlement, and the state of affairs in the southeastern part of the Shadow Ruins."
The old man glanced at him suspiciously, not knowing what he meant, but seeing Ye Qingli's solemn tone, he nodded.
Shaoqing, in the lounge of the elders in the cave, the old man, Youqi, Ye Qingli and several other people with a strong degree of soul condensation in the cave gathered here, Mu Bei didn't care about this kind of thing, but after Ye Qingli saw her, he seemed to want to introduce more things about his settlement to her, so he asked her to come over, and Mu Bei did not refuse.
"Originally, I wanted to ask the Watari-sama for his opinion, but now that the Watar-sama has left here for the time being, I'll discuss it with you first." Ye Qingli stood in the room, facing the people in the cave, and said.
"Let me briefly introduce myself first, my name is Ye Qingli, and I am a large settlement from the border between the southeastern and eastern regions of the Shadow Ruins." Ye Qingli's tone became slightly serious.
"Our settlement, in the southeast of the entire Shadow Ruins, is one of the best, if not the largest, and there are more than 50,000 ghosts in the entire settlement, and there are thousands of ghosts who have completely condensed their soul bodies."
"Oh my God......"
"So much!" Ye Qingli's words fell, and the ghosts in the cave were dumbfounded, and sighed incredibly, for them, the farthest place they had reached was just the area where the Ghost Mountain Range had penetrated deeper, and they knew very little about other settlements, so when they heard such an exaggerated number, they would feel extremely amazing.
You must know that the number of the ghosts in their caves, not to mention 50,000, can't even reach 500, and the strongest ghosts have only condensed fifty percent of their soul bodies.
The old man had some worries in his heart, he looked at Ye Qingli, and asked with a solemn expression: "Since your settlement is so strong, is it possible that the purpose of your coming to our cave is to let our ghost join you?" ”
"No, no, don't get me wrong, we don't have any intention of annexing your settlement." Seeing the expressions of the ghosts in the cave change slightly, Ye Qingli hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Although our settlement is very strong, the opponents we face are not ordinarily powerful. ”
"Opponents?" The old man frowned and said, "Phantom Beast? ”
"No, it's a ghost settlement in the eastern region." Ye Qingli said with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, things are very strange, because probably before the two fog springs, our settlement has always been suppressing the opposite side because of its rich resources and many ghosts. ”
"But just before the two fog springs, things suddenly changed."
"The ghosts in the eastern region, they suddenly became extremely strange, you must know that the friction between our ghost settlements is a scattered and chaotic way of fighting, and at that time, they seemed to have all changed people."
"All of a sudden, they became very disciplined, they knew how to stay in formation on the move, they knew how to fight together, they knew what methods to use to most effectively attack our weak points."
Ye Qingli's tone was slightly low, and he said, "From then on, the gap between our settlements has been rapidly narrowed until it is leveled, and with that strange battle formation method, we can't defeat them as easily as before." ”
"Then something even more unbelievable happened......
Hearing this, the expressions of all the ghosts in the cave changed, and even Mu Bei's expression became slightly serious.
"On their bodies, there are some weapons and armor that can be controlled with soul power and made of various materials such as ghost stones, and before that, although we have also used some stones, plants and trees to make weapons and clothing, but their skills are not at all comparable to our rudimentary equipment."
"Almost in a flash, our Ghost Ones were all routed in front of their invulnerable battle formations and weapons and armor, and had to give up a lot of resources to them."
"Since then, the secluded people of our settlement have never set foot in the eastern region again." Ye Qingli said a little lonely: "Moreover, they don't seem to be willing to accept such a result, and they want to obtain more resources." ”
"We can only choose to retreat."
