Chapter 51: Soul Eater
Sure enough, after Tang Fan advanced a distance of several hundred meters, when he passed by a small hill, suddenly a gust of evil wind swept towards him from behind the hill.
Tang Fan had already prepared, and immediately unfolded his body and floated forward to avoid the sneak attack, and when he stabilized his figure, he saw that the thing that attacked him was actually a mouse.
It's just that this mouse is the size of a watermelon, its whole body is gray, the hair on its body is standing up, and there are two shovel-like sharp teeth under its pointed nose.
"Soul Eater?"
After seeing the appearance of the rat clearly, Tang Fan couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't expect that the first test he encountered in this dense forest was actually the Spirit Devouring Mouse.
This Spirit Devourer is a first-order spirit beast, and its attack power is not very strong, but its defense ability is very perverted, its fur can absorb and rebound energy-type attacks, and their main ability is to devour energy.
As long as it contains energy, it will devour, including Reiki and Spiritual Element, so many attacks are ineffective against it. And what's even more perverted is that it is a social animal, usually dozens or hundreds of them together, and even more tens of thousands of them appear together, but that is all a legend, and Tang Fan is also the first time to see this kind of spirit animal.
Tang Fan heard Xue Wuxian say that this Spirit Devouring Mouse was actually a kind of treasure, because they devoured spirit objects, they stored a large amount of spirit elements in their bodies, and their fur was a good product for making defensive weapons.
Therefore, the Soul Eater Rat is one of the spirit beasts that the mercenary group loves to catch, but it is rare to see the Spirit Eater Mouse in the Great Wilderness Mountain, but I didn't expect to encounter it here.
Tang Fan looked at the Spirit Eater Rat in front of him, and at the same time vigilantly paid attention to the hill, there could not be only one Spirit Eater Rat here.
Sure enough, after a while, dozens of soul devouring rats sprang out from behind the hill and surrounded Tang Fan, each of them staring at Tang Fan with scarlet eyes, and the pair of shovel-like teeth shook as if they were going to tear Tang Fan to pieces.
Tang Fan held the dragon scale knife in his hand, thinking about the weakness of the spirit devouring rat in his mind, thinking about how to eliminate this group of rats as quickly as possible when the war started, and not damage the body of this group of rats, after all, these are all treasures, since they have encountered it, how can they not accept it!
While Tang Fan was thinking about it, Tang Fan felt a thought coming from his arms, which made him happy in his heart, this time it was simple, and he didn't have to do it himself.
Tang Fan decisively took out the bag and untied the belt, a white figure appeared in front of Tang Fan, and then a coercion permeated out, making all the Spirit Devouring Rats present show frightened expressions, and then they scattered and fled.
"Meow!"
A loud and domineering cry sounded in the dense forest, and then the white figure flashed like lightning in the dense forest, chasing after every escaped soul eater.
Wherever the white shadow appeared, the corpse of a Soul Eater would be left behind, and soon dozens of Spirit Eaters were all lying in the dense forest, and none of them were able to escape.
"Meow!"
At this time, the white figure let out a triumphant cry and returned to Tang Fan's arms.
This white shadow is Xiao Bai, who has been breaking through in the spirit beast bag, it has been sleeping and breaking through these days, but I didn't expect to wake up at this critical moment.
It should also be that group of soul devouring rats were unlucky, they met its natural enemies, and they were beast queens, they actually wanted to escape, how could they have a chance to live.
Xiao Bai affectionately rubbed his fluffy head on Tang Fan's face, like a child coquettish with his parents.
Tang Fan was also very happy, hugged Xiaobai's little head and kissed it twice, and then held it in his arms and looked at it carefully.
Xiaobai's body has grown a little, from the size of one palm to the size of two palms, and the hair on his body has also changed from pure white to jade white, as if coated with a layer of jade light, and the penetrating eyes have become brighter and deeper, and the whole has become a lot more handsome.
"Meow!"
Xiaobai saw that Tang Fan had been staring at it, and seemed a little embarrassed, it barked at Tang Fan coquettishly, and then pointed at those soul devouring rats with its little paws, and then made a gesture and told Tang Fan to quickly put away those rats, it was a snack for the past few days, and this thing still tasted good.
Xiaobai's words couldn't help but make Tang Fan'er, although this little thing broke through the juvenile stage and entered the growth period, but the problem of greed still hasn't changed, this mouth is eating.
However, Tang Fan was not ready to let go of those soul devouring rats, these dozens of soul devouring rats are all treasures, and if they are sold, it will be a lot of money, but Tang Fan will not sell them, since Xiaobai wants to use them as snacks, then make snacks for them!
"Meow!"
However, when Tang Fan collected the corpses of those spirit devouring rats, Xiao Bai suddenly let out another scream, and then disappeared from Tang Fan's arms with a "whoosh", only to see the white shadow on the hill flash, Xiao Bai appeared there, but it seemed that it was confronted by something.
Tang Fan looked at Xiao Bai curiously, temporarily let go of the last two corpses of the Spirit Devouring Rats and unfolded his figure to follow, he didn't worry about letting Xiao Bai run around alone in this dense forest, he didn't know what danger would be in this dense forest.
However, when Tang Fan came to the hill, he was stunned for a moment, and he found that the person facing Xiaobai was actually a soul devouring rat.
However, this Soul Eater Rat was much larger than the previous ones, its entire body was the size of a bucket, the hair on its body had changed from gray to golden, its two palm-sized teeth were shining with a ghostly light, and a pair of small eyes were also shining with scarlet light staring at Xiaobai.
"Soul Eater Rat King?"
Looking at this Spirit Devouring Mouse, Tang Fan's face also became grim, the Spirit Devouring Rat King is the evolution of the Spirit Devouring Mouse, and it is already a second-order spirit beast, no wonder it saw that Xiao Bai did not run away, and looked at Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai advanced before, but he was only promoted to a first-order spirit beast, if it weren't for its noble bloodline and the direct line of the Beast Emperor, I'm afraid that other spirit devouring rats wouldn't be so afraid of it.
"Meow!"
Xiao Bai released the coercion of Totoro, the hair on his body stood on end, and he put on a fierce appearance and shouted at the Spirit Devouring Rat King, but it made Tang Fan smile bitterly.
Xiaobai actually asked the Soul Eater Rat King to surrender, and the Spirit Eater Rat King showed a hint of sneer, and squeaked a few times, as if to say, "You are stupid to me, surrender to do your appetite, little bit!"
The Soul Eater Rat King's ignorance seemed to anger Xiao Bai, and its body appeared on the top of the Spirit Eater Rat King's head with a "whoosh", and its sharp little claws grabbed the top of the Spirit Eater Rat King's head.
Not to be outdone, the Rat King opened his mouth to bite Xiao Bai's claws, and Tang Fan, who saw the ghostly light on his two front teeth, was terrified, and hurriedly clenched the dragon scale knife and attacked the Rat King.
Xiao Bai also seemed to know that the Soul Eater Rat King's teeth were very powerful, and when the Spirit Eater Rat King bit it, his figure flashed behind the head of the Spirit Eater Mouse, and his small paws grabbed the rat's head again.
At this time, Tang Fan also rushed to the field, he didn't dare to launch his martial arts, he simply waved the dragon scale knife in his hand and slashed at the body of the Spirit Devouring Rat King.
"Ding!"
The Dragon Scale Knife bounced off the Soul Eater Rat King's body with a metallic sound, and did not do any useful damage to the Spirit Eater Rat King.
But this time it seemed to annoy the Spirit Devouring Rat King, and while dealing with Xiao Bai's claws, it flicked its whip-like tail and whipped it towards Tang Fan.
Tang Fan was shocked by the defense of the Spirit Devouring Rat King, and suddenly found that the Spirit Devouring Rat King's tail was pumping towards him, and then he gritted his teeth and swung the dragon scale knife to slash the mountain and slash at the root of the tail.
I don't believe your tail's defense is so strong!
Sure enough, the Spirit Eater didn't have confidence in its own tail, and when it sensed Tang Fan's attack on its tail, it quickly retracted its tail, and at the same time, its body moved, and it took Tang Fan's knife with its back.
"Ding!"
The piercing sound of gold and iron came again, and the powerful force of the shock shook Tang Fan's entire arm, and the dragon scale knife in his hand almost came out of his hand, and at this time, the tail of the Spirit Devouring Rat was pulled towards Tang Fan again.
Tang Fan hurriedly used his body technique to dodge the whip-like rat tail, and at the same time used the spirit yuan to recover the numb arm, and after the arm recovered, he once again raised his knife and slashed at the root of the tail of the Spirit Devouring Rat King.
At this time, due to Tang Fan's potential, Xiao Bai got an opportunity, and a burst of blue light suddenly flashed in his deep eyes and pierced the eyes of the Spirit Devouring Rat King.
"Twitter, twitter!"
The Soul Devouring Rat King's body screamed, his whole body stiffened, and the tail that was pumped towards Tang Fan also drooped down, just as Tang Fan's dragon scale knife slashed the root of its tail, and with a "boom", the whip-like tail was cut off.
And the pain of this broken tail also made the Soul Eater Rat King wake up, and its scarlet eyes were full of madness to look at Xiao Bai, who was waving its little claws at it, and its body actually began to swell.
"Not good!"
Tang Fan felt that the Spirit Devouring Rat King seemed to be going crazy, the swollen body might be brewing a big move, or it might be about to explode, if it blew itself up, it would be to die with Xiaobai and himself.
He must not be allowed to succeed, and Tang Fan gritted his teeth and carried the dragon scale knife in his hand with the spirit yuan of his whole body, and then used a fierce wind slash at the wound at the root of the tail of the Spirit Devouring Rat King.
The Soul Devouring Rat King seemed to have fallen into madness, his body swelling rapidly, and he didn't pay attention to Tang Fan's attack at all, and he probably didn't expect Tang Fan to start from its wounds.
"Poof!"
The dragon scale knife pierced into the body of the Spirit Devouring Rat King with a bitter wind, and the furious wind energy split it in half from the tailbone, and the splattered blood burst Tang Fan and Xiao Bai.
Fortunately, Xiao Bai had already flashed to the side at the moment when Tang Fan took out the knife, otherwise he would not have been splashed with blood, and I am afraid that he would have been accidentally injured by Tang Fan's violent blow.
