Xiao Ye Qingyang leaned against the wall of a building, looking at the blood-colored stone on his right hand in fear, only to see that the stone was getting more and more crimson, while his hand was getting paler and paler.

He could clearly feel that the stone in his hand was frantically absorbing his own blood, and the strength and blood of his mixed body were slowly draining.

Why do stones suck blood?

Will I just bleed and die?

I haven't been to see the Soul Hunting Tower, and I haven't participated in the Soul Hunting Ritual yet.

And I still have a sister to take care of, and my parents to be filial, I really don't want to die so soon.

Xiao Ye Qingyang thought in a daze, until now, he hadn't recovered from the fact that he was stuck to his hands with blood-colored stones, a little aggrieved, a little dazed.

What kind of stone is this, it will automatically suck blood, and if you fall, you will die, it sounds ridiculous, this is perhaps the most ridiculous way to die.

Xiao Ye Qingyang's eyes gradually began to lose focus, his spirit was dim, his eyes were scattered, and as soon as his hands were loosened, he slipped to the ground, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his hands.

Xiao Ye Qingyang wanted to shout twice and let people save him, but he found that he had become weak even when he spoke, and finally the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything anymore.

In the end, the eyelids could no longer hold on, and as soon as they closed, the world was completely dark.

Goodbye, Mom and Dad, and my sister.

After a while, Ye Qingyang, whose consciousness was floating in the dark space, thought that he was dead, suddenly felt that there was a hot current in his right hand and arm that was rapidly entering his body, and he walked around several times, and his whole body began to heat up, is it that the blood is flowing back?

He opened his eyes leisurely and looked at the blood-colored stone on his right hand, and saw that the crimson on the stone was slowly lightening and lightening, while his own hand began to turn back to ruddy, and he moved his fingers lightly, and found that the strength had returned dramatically.

Xiao Ye Qingyang's mood suddenly improved, and he couldn't help but smirk happily, no need to die, everything is fine, there is nothing more joyful than coming back from the dead.

Looking at the stone in his hand, he thought it was amazing, he hadn't heard of a stone that would suck blood and return blood, so he stuck his head up and carefully observed the shape, but he didn't find anything special.

After a few minutes, a sudden feeling of dizziness hit, Xiao Ye Qingyang's vision of looking at the stone began to blur, there was a feeling of nausea whirling around, and at the same time he felt that his body was very uncomfortable, he quickly looked away, but found that the uncomfortable feeling had disappeared.

The child's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he tried back and forth several times, and found it very interesting.

And the crimson stone, after finally returning all the absorbed blood to Ye Qingyang, finally changed back to its original color, which was gray.

The stone that turned gray fell off Ye Qingyang's hand, and with a few clicks, it rolled to the ground.

Xiao Ye Qingyang looked at the gray stone on the ground blankly, and then glanced at his palm, and found that there was no hole in his palm, as if he had not fallen.

He immediately stood up, and without a dust, he wanted to go home and see his parents as soon as possible, and the feeling of being so frightened that he would die and come back to life was too frightening for a six-year-old child.

It's just that Xiao Ye Qingyang just took a few steps in the direction of home, and his footsteps suddenly paused, ran back again, picked up the gray stone and stuffed it into his pocket, and then ran home at full speed.

He felt that this gray stone was very magical, although he still had a little fear in his heart, but driven by curiosity, he still wanted to take it back and play with it, maybe it would be a treasure left by a soul hunter.

Xiao Ye Qingyang didn't know that from the moment his blood touched this gray stone, his fate changed unpredictably, and since then he has had an inseparable connection with this gray stone.

In a corner of the extraterrestrial universe, a gray shadow so large that it was impossible to see the edge shook gently, as if at that moment, the space and stars of the entire universe trembled slightly.

Xiao Ye Qingyang, who returned home, hesitated for fear that his parents would worry, but he didn't talk about the strange gray stone again, plus he ate a few more bites of food, and he forgot all about it in the joke, if it weren't for the gray stone still hidden in his pocket, it would be as if nothing had happened.

......

At twelve o'clock at noon is the beginning time of the soul hunting ceremony held by the Soul Hunting Star Tower, and every child who has just turned six years old can go to the Soul Hunting Star Tower at this time to find the awakened person to awaken the power of the Star Crystal Ball for himself, and shuttle to the starry sky to hunt the Star Soul.

Every city structure of the human race has always followed the simple structure of the four directions created by the Fuxi Super Star God, which is as simple as the name, but it is very practical.

The simple structure of the four directions requires that the city wall be surrounded into a regular quadrilateral, and there is a city gate in the middle of each side, and there are four avenues in front of the city gate, which are called the main road of the four directions, respectively, the main road of the east gate, the main road of the west gate, etc., and divide the city into four activity areas.

The southeast area is the civilian area, the northeast area is the treasure area, the southwest area is the medicine adjustment area, and the northwest area is the competition area.

The Soul Hunter Tower is located in the most central position of the city, the intersection of the main roads of the four directions, covers an area of more than a dozen basketball courts, the tower has a total of nine floors, is a spire of the base building, the outline of the shape from the bottom to the top of the layer shrinks layer by layer, the shape is like a cone, belongs to the pavilion tower.

The tower is a quadrangular tower, the plane is a regular quadrilateral, the four corner points are each supported by four top beams and columns, there are four door frames in the four side positions of the first floor, there is no gate, the middle of the top of the door frame is engraved with three words, respectively, the east star gate, the south star gate, the west star gate, the north star gate, corresponding to the city gate of all directions.

The whole body of the Soul Hunter Star Tower is black, the wall on the outside is smooth and shiny, printed with countless incomprehensible white lines, and I don't know what material it is made of.

The central pattern has a long sword and a giant axe crossed, the upper cross space is a book, and the left and right cross spaces are each a hexagonal spar and a large tripod, which is the human race's clan flag five gods and stars battle flag.

The five stars symbolize the five superstar gods, and the central pattern is a simple pattern of the five heavenly star souls.

Under the four corners of the eaves of each floor, there are four starlight lamps hanging upside down, and the side edge is inlaid with a circle of blue starlight tubes, which can perfectly reflect the outline of the entire tower in the dark night.

......

Xiao Ye Qingyang's family had lunch, and then took the Xingxing bus to the outside of the South Star Gate of the Soul Hunting Star Tower.

The towering nine-story tower and simple architectural style are like seeing a beautiful and imposing work of art, Ye Qingyang looked at the huge building in front of him dumbfounded, and the shock in his heart is difficult to express in words.

In fact, it was not the first time he had seen the Soul Hunter Star Tower, because the height of the tower was almost higher than all the buildings in the city, so as long as he climbed to the roof, he could see part of the tower and the hunting clan flag fluttering.

But from a distance and up close, it is still different, the whole picture of the Soul Hunter Tower is even taller and grander than imagined, and there are no flaws in every detail, and the exquisiteness is extraordinarily beautiful, which makes people have to marvel at the skill of the builders.

Ye Qingyang's father touched Ye Qingyang's head with a smile, he understood Xiao Ye Qingyang's shock very well, when he first saw the full picture of the Soul Hunting Star Tower, his state was not much better than Ye Qingyang.

Afterwards, Ye Qingyang's father took Ye Qingyang's little hand and walked towards the South Star Gate, while his mother followed closely behind Ye Qingxue on her back.

The first floor of the Soul Hunting Star Tower is called the Star Piercing Layer, which is designed for six-year-old children to hold soul hunting ceremonies, the four-star gate corresponds to four roads, paved with a red carpet, and the first floor is divided into four Star Piercing Rooms, and the Star Piercing Room in each direction can only be entered by people in the corresponding direction area, that is, the southeast Star Piercing Room corresponds to the people in the southeast civilian area.

Stepping into the Star Tower, the inside was decorated with golden splendor, carved beams and paintings, and the walls were printed with various murals of star souls, but the first thing that caught his eye was the ascending star ladder located in the center in front of him, at the end of the red carpet.

This is not an electrical appliance, but a large high-grade star treasure, in the shape of a cylindrical shape, which can be reached directly to any of the upper floors, with a large bottom area, with four staircases, and the cylinders are divided into four parts, facing each gate.

From time to time, you can see a soul hunter wearing a gorgeous battle uniform or battle robe, with swords and other equipment hanging on his waist or back, walking to the front of the star ladder, and then pressing his hand on a metal plate above the crescent-shaped ladder door, a shallow light flashed in the contact gap, and the ladder door opened.

The soul hunter walked into the stairwell, and as soon as the door closed, the staircase rose up like a ray of light to the sky, and with a whoosh, the person disappeared, which was very magical.

Xiao Ye Qingyang looked left and right excitedly, looking around, the dome full of star lanterns, the star ladder rising to the sky, and the soul hunter with various equipment, everything was so fresh and magical, his eyes were full of flames, radiating light, and his heart was full of anticipation for the soul hunting ceremony to be held in a while.

"Do you think that everything here is amazing, and do you also want to be as cool as those people who wear battle uniforms and carry weapons?" Ye Qingyang's father asked with a smile and bowed his head to Xiao Ye Qingyang.

"Well, I want to!" Xiao Ye Qingyang nodded heavily.

Ye Qingyang's father nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, you have to work hard for the soul hunting ritual for a while, and you are not allowed to give up easily until the last moment, because once you give up, it will be difficult for you to come into contact with these things for the rest of your life, you know?"

"I see, I'm sure I'll be able to hunt the Star Soul!"

Xiao Ye Qingyang said categorically, his little face was full of determination, he secretly made up his mind that even if he fought hard for a while, he must hunt the star soul, he knew very well that only by becoming the rumored soul hunter would the most magical side of this world unfold to himself.

There are also many families who come to participate in the soul hunting ritual, there are rich families who raise children to be white and fat, and there are poor families who raise children to be thin and malnourished, and their children are all jumping around and pointing to all kinds of places in the Star Tower.

"Wow, that guy with the sword is so cool, and his clothes are so handsome, I really want to wear his clothes to see." ”

"Wow, what is that cylinder, it's so bad, it can glow, why don't the people who go in come out. ”

"Dad, this place is so big, it's much bigger than our house, why are there so many gems stuck on it, it's so beautiful. ”

......

And most of his parents are like Ye Qingyang's father, telling their children earnestly that if they want to see more dazzling magical scenes like this in the future, they must not give up until the last moment when performing the soul hunting ritual.

Soul hunting is like hunting life, once you give up, it is a lifetime!

This is a cruel truth that all the races in the Nine Dawn Star Continent must understand.

That's right, if you want to get out of the city, see the magnificent magical world outside, and experience a wonderful and dazzling inheritance life, there is only one way to hunt for the soul of the star.

If you don't hunt the star soul, you won't have the chance to change your fate, and you can only accept the fate of civilians assigned by God for the rest of your life.

It's just that who can be willing to come and leave like this.
