Chapter 519: Killing Soul Beasts
Gu Chen and Rong Qingya took Xiao Bai back to the lair where the soul beast was.
For some reason, the heart of the gods and demons parasitic by the soul beast is rooted in the ground, so the soul beast can only stay here with the heart of the gods and demons, and cannot leave.
But it can manipulate tentacles that can be extended almost infinitely to prey, and those tough and powerful tentacles can bind almost any prey, so in the first and second layers of this underground world, except for the soul smear, the soul beast has no opponent at all.
Therefore, every time the prey targeted by it is almost impossible to escape.
However, Gu Chen's arrival made it suffer a dark loss, and he also took away another "prey" from its mouth.
After the soul beast was frustrated, it became honest and did not hunt for food for a long time.
Now, it has been a day since Gu Chen left this place, and the soul beast is sure that Gu Chen has gone away, so his hungry heart has begun to become active again, ready to start hunting again.
However, just as it was about to extend its tentacles along the surrounding passages, a familiar ...... Oh no, two familiar breaths appeared in its perceptual range.
One of them was the man with the Excalibur!
The other is its nightmare, the Soul Extractor!
If it was said that the soul beast was most afraid of before, it was undoubtedly the soul sucking mink, and then there was an additional Gu Chen.
Now that its two nemesis came together, the soul beast suddenly trembled with fright, and its tentacles that had nowhere to place began to tremble unconsciously.
"Squeak!" As soon as the Soul Sable entered the lair of the Soul Beast, it began to become extremely excited, and a pair of small smart eyes stared at the huge heart of gods and demons.
"Yo, this guy seems to know we're coming! He even danced to welcome us!" Gu Chen said with his hands on his chest, looking at the shaking tentacles with interest.
"It seems to be scared, it seems that you have made a very deep impression on it!" Rong Qingya smiled at Gu Chen.
"I think, it's more afraid of your Xiaobai!" Gu Chen glanced at the Soul Draining Mink in Rong Qingya's arms and said.
"Is it? Why is that? Didn't you say that Xiao Bai wouldn't take the initiative to attack people? Why is it so afraid of Xiao Bai?" Rong Qingya asked Gu Chen with a curious expression.
Gu Chen thought that it was time to tell Rong Qingya the true appearance of the tentacle monster, so he explained: "Actually, this huge heart is not its body! It is not called a tentacle monster, its real name is a soul beast! It is a spirit creature, born without a body, it can only be parasitic in the corpse, and then manipulate the corpse! It's a bit like the legendary resurrection of the corpse!"
"Ah, soul beasts, spirit bodies, borrowed corpses to resurrect souls?" Rong Qingya suddenly opened her mouth in surprise.
Then, Rong Qingya suddenly realized: "I see, you said that the Soul Absorbing Mink likes to devour the souls of spirits and dead creatures the most, since this soul beast is a spirit body, then the Soul Absorbing Mink is its nemesis!"
Gu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, and the Soul Absorbing Sable is the greatest natural enemy of the Soul Beast! The Soul Beast is extremely difficult to kill, even if its parasitic body is destroyed, it can use the spirit body to escape and continue to look for a new parasitic body! But if it is when its spirit body is out of the body, there is a Soul Sucking Sable next to it...... Hehe, you can imagine what will happen to it!"
"I see!No wonder you must find Xiaobai before you come to kill the soul beast!" Rong Qingya suddenly realized.
"Okay, now that everything is ready, it's time to eradicate this evil thing!" Gu Chen said with his eyes fixed on the huge heart of gods and demons.
"Do you need my help?" Rong Qingya asked Gu Chen.
Gu Chen waved his hand and said: "No, this guy relies on strong tentacles, but its tentacles are vulnerable in front of my holy weapon, plus it can't move, it's a live target for me, it's too easy to kill it!
"Okay, I know!" Rong Qingya nodded with a serious face, although people in Buddhism do not kill easily, but when they encounter such evil things, they must actively eradicate them, so as not to leave disaster in the world.
Although the soul beast felt that Gu Chen had a killing intent towards it, it still didn't dare to act rashly, after all, the divine weapon in Gu Chen's hand was too lethal to it, it still remembered it vividly, and with the soul sable eyeing it on the side, it didn't dare to take risks.
The soul beast deliberately waved its tentacles and made a gesture of begging for mercy, hoping to arouse Gu Chen's compassion and make it escape the catastrophe.
It's a pity that Gu Chen has already listened to the reminder of the Heavenly Dao Sword Spirit, and knows that the soul beast is evil and cunning by nature, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and the posture of begging for mercy is just to show the enemy weakness.
Therefore, Gu Chen did not have the slightest pity.
Gu Chen's right hand was held out of thin air, and a golden long sword with purple light appeared in his hand.
Then, Gu Chen held the long sword and walked towards the heart of the gods and demons in the middle of the cave step by step.
The soul beast felt that Gu Chen's killing intent was firm, so he no longer acted coyly, and was ready to fight back to the death, otherwise if he did nothing, wouldn't he sit back and wait to die?
For a while, the tentacles in the sky attacked Gu Chen from all directions, but they avoided Rong Qingya from a distance, not afraid of Rong Qingya, but afraid of the Soul Sniper in her arms! After all, the Soul Beast's fear of the Soul Scan had already penetrated deep into the soul, even if it knew that it was difficult for the Soul Sable to hurt its own spirit body under the protection of the parasite, the Soul Sable still did not dare to attack the Soul Sable.
"Hmph! It's come to this, you still want to resist in vain?" Gu Chen snorted coldly, and then quickly waved the Heavenly Dao Sword in his hand, and all the tentacles that were attacking Gu Chen couldn't get close at all, and they had already been cut off by the extremely sharp Heavenly Dao Sword.
The tentacles were cut off, and the soul beast suddenly let out a terrible scream.
However, although he knew that it was a moth to the fire, the soul beast still waved its remaining tentacles and attacked Gu Chen continuously, because only in this way could there be a glimmer of life, otherwise, once it gave up resistance, there was only a dead end waiting for it!
Gu Chen continued to slash the attacking tentacles, although he could easily cut off the tentacles with just an ordinary swing of the sword, but there were too many of these tentacles, there were hundreds, so it would take a lot of effort to cut them off one by one.
At this time, Gu Chen couldn't help but think that if he could control a martial art like Ling Xiao Sword Sect's "Ten Thousand Swords Blue Lotus" or Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion's "Ten Thousand Swords Technique", he would be able to easily slash these tentacles!
Although the Pantheistic Cult's "Nine Heavens Thunder Sword Technique" is hugely powerful, it uses the power of thunder and cannot inherit the sharpness of the weapon.
And what the soul beast is afraid of is only the sharpness of the Heavenly Dao Sword, if it is used to deal with it with the thunder of the "Nine Heavens Thunder Sword Technique", it may not be effective.
Therefore, Gu Chen could only use ordinary moves to deal with the Soul Beast, because even if he used the "Nine Heavens Thunder Sword Technique", it was just a waste of Yuan Power!
But in this way, the efficiency became very slow, and by the time Gu Chen had slashed all the tentacles of the soul beast, half an hour had passed.
Gu Chen's body was also a little tired due to the long time of swinging the sword, and fine sweat was gradually breaking out on his forehead.
However, it is not without gain, this time Gu Chen did not use any martial arts at all to continue to swing the sword, which actually made Gu Chen's understanding of the way of the sword improve by leaps and bounds, maybe this is the so-called Dao Zhijian!
It's just that Gu Chen is not dedicated to studying kendo, and although he has made great progress now, he is still a very long way from Shen Yan.
However, Gu Chen was also very satisfied with this, the improvement of the sword path could deepen his understanding of the sword skills, and the power of all the sword skills he mastered would be improved.
Gu Chen touched the fine sweat on his forehead, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said to the soul beast whose tentacles had been cut off: "You have to resist stubbornly, waste your time in vain!
Although the soul beast was afraid, it no longer had any hole cards, and it could not beg Gu Chen for mercy, so it could only watch the approach of death......
Gu Chen no longer hesitated, and directly stabbed the huge god and demon heart with a sword.
With a "snort", the long sword entered in response and pierced directly into the heart of the gods and demons.
"Bang bang...... Bang bang...... Bang bang bang...... Bang bang"
The heart of the gods and demons suddenly began to beat rapidly, and it became faster and faster......
Suddenly, with a "bang", the whole heart exploded, and black blood splattered for a while, Gu Chen and Rong Qingya hurriedly resisted with a protective body.
Fortunately, these black blood were not lethal, but they blocked Gu Chen and Rong Qingya's sight.
At that moment, an illusory gray shadow flew towards a passage.
"It's the spirit body of the soul beast!Quickly release Xiaobai!" Gu Chen hurriedly shouted to Rong Qingya.
"Squeak squeak!" Before Rong Qingya took the initiative to let go, Xiaobai eagerly broke free from Rong Qingya's embrace and turned into a white shadow to chase after the gray phantom.
The speed of the two was extremely fast, and they disappeared in front of Gu Chen and Rong Qingya in the blink of an eye.
"What should I do?" Rong Qingya asked Gu Chen in a daze.
"Catch up!" Gu Chen said to Rong Qingya, and then used his body to chase after the passage where the soul beast and the soul strainer had left.
"Hey, wait for me!" Rong Qingya couldn't help but shout eagerly when she saw Gu Chen disappear suddenly.
But Gu Chen was long gone at this time, Rong Qingya had to chase alone, but unfortunately her speed was too slow, unless Gu Chen took the initiative to stop, it was impossible for her to catch up.
When Rong Qingya saw Gu Chen's figure again, she didn't know how far away she was from the lair of the soul beast.
It is a large space, in the shape of a column, with a spiral staircase around the stone wall, which leads diagonally upwards to the point where it leads.
And there is a dark hole in the ground in the center of the space, and there is a cold air coming from it, which makes people tremble.
At this time, the Soul Drain Sable was floating above the cave entrance, holding a gray ball of light under it, and the Soul Drain Sable was eating the ball of light with a look of enjoyment.
Gu Chen looked thoughtfully at the dark entrance of the cave.
Rong Qingya slowly walked to Gu Chen's side and asked curiously, "What about the Soul Beast?"
Gu Chen suddenly sobered up, and after glancing at Rong Qingya, he pointed to the ball of light under the soul mink and said: "That ball of light is the soul beast, it has now been subdued by Xiao Bai, and when Xiao Bai absorbs its energy, the soul beast will be completely destroyed!"
"That's good, this evil thing has finally been eradicated!" Rong Qingya couldn't help but nodded, then looked at the dark entrance of the cave, and asked Gu Chen, "What's going on with that hole?
Gu Chen touched his chin and said, "If my guess is correct, that hole should be a passage to the third layer of the underground world!"
"The third layer, there is a third layer in the underground world?" Rong Qingya was stunned for a moment, and asked Gu Chen in disbelief.
Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "There's nothing strange about it! Since there is a first layer and a second layer, why can't there be a third layer?"
Rong Qingya nodded and said, "That's right, but what are you going to do?"
