Chapter 318: Spirit Devouring Beast
Xiao Liu is facing an almost desperate situation.
Under the influence of this strange formation, his thinking became more and more confused, and his usual calmness could no longer be maintained.
"Could it be that this is the place where my little six is buried?"
Xiao Liu couldn't help but have this desperate thought.
But at this moment, a distant place suddenly exchanged another angry rebuke
"Don't be complacent!When Xiaoliu comes back, you look good!!Take your dirty hands away!!"
This voice still belongs to Donghuang Xue.
And it seems that her state at the moment seems to have been captured by someone who doesn't know who she is!
This situation made Xiao Liu's chest have a monstrous anger, his teeth crunched, and his whole body trembled with anger.
But immediately, Xiao Liu surprisingly entered a state of absolute calm.
His eyes were closed, and his breathing gradually returned to a steady level.
When he reopened those eyes, the ice blue brilliance was already in full bloom, and the corners of Xiao Liu's mouth showed a strange sneer.
"I see.......
At this time, in Xiao Liu's eyes, the boundless demon forest actually began to shrink rapidly, and in less than two breaths, the surrounding scene changed greatly, and it once again returned to the scene of the previous valley.
It turned out that what Xiao Liu saw just now was all caused by some kind of illusion.
At this time, Xiao Liu recalled that Mo Wu had said before that the soul power here was extremely strong, and perhaps the culprit of this illusion was those scattered soul powers.
Xiao Liu peeked through the illusion with the Demon Breaking Eye, and naturally turned back to the place where he really was, in the valley where the third layer of formations existed.
Looking down, the inconspicuous lines were still under his feet, and Xiao Liu knew that now was not the time to study these, he had to rush back to save his companions.
Xiao Liu had just turned his body and was about to gallop back, when suddenly Mo Wu in his spirit finally spoke
"Wait! Those guys outside are all cultivators who are controlled by the demon tree here, and you don't have any chance of rushing back now. For the sake of today, the only way to do this is to destroy the formation here. After the formation is broken, those who are controlled will naturally get rid of the control of the demon tree, and it will no longer be a trouble!"
Xiao Liu was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately asked rhetorically
"Fifth brother, why couldn't I contact you just now? I thought something was wrong. ”
Mo Wu's voice sounded slowly
"I was naturally there just now, but what you are facing is just a small illusion, as long as you use the Demon Breaking Eye, you can naturally easily break it. I'm going to help with this little problem, so what will you do in the future?"
Mo Wu's words made Xiao Liu embarrassed for a while.
Yes, the illusion just now is indeed not difficult to break, but under the influence of the illusion, Xiao Liu's mood is extremely unstable, so he didn't think of dealing with it with the eye of the demon for a while.
"Remember, no matter what problems you encounter in the future, you must face them calmly. How can you, who have lost your square inch, find a way to solve your difficulties? As I said, I will not help you if you are able to do so. You should understand this time, right?"
Xiao Liu knew that he was still too young and extremely inexperienced, and in that situation just now, if he was an experienced self, he would definitely be able to get out of trouble easily as soon as possible.
So Xiaoliu seriously reflected
"Fifth brother, you're right! I will never make this kind of mistake again in the future. By the way, now is not the time to talk about this, Fifth Brother, do you have a way to break this formation?"
Xiaoliu is now very worried about the safety of his companions, and at the same time, he blames himself.
If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't calm enough after encountering the illusion just now, why would it take so much time to get out?
Under this delay, Donghuang Xue has fallen into the hands of the enemy.
But now regretting and blaming himself is not the solution, and now his primary problem is how to break the formation!
Mo Wu seemed to have a way to deal with it a long time ago, and he said unhurriedly at this time
"You don't need to be in a hurry for the time being. After the guys had captured the three of them, they had already tied them to the demon tree. And the demon tree erodes the cultivator's divine soul and requires a process. This time should be around a quarter of an hour. And this period of time is a good opportunity for us to break the formation. ”
Mo Wu has a divine soul detection, and the location of Donghuang Xue and Xiao Liu's location is within his exploration range.
Hearing that those guys actually tied Xiaoxue and * to the demon tree, wouldn't that mean that the three of them were once again facing the fate of being eroded by their spirits, or even being controlled by the demon tree?
Xiao Liu was immediately anxious, but he immediately thought of his previous self, isn't it precisely because he messed up that he let a small illusion confuse his mind?
So Xiao Liu took a deep breath, kept his emotions as stable as possible, and responded
"Fifth brother, you can say it. What should we do?"
Although Mo Wu in the Divine Soul did not directly praise Xiao Liu, he was still very satisfied with his reaction, so he chuckled at this time before he said
"This formation is designed for the fragile spiritual souls of living beings, and unlike the formations of the first and second layers, its function is to communicate the core of the formation through countless demon trees, and then squeeze out the power of the divine souls of living beings little by little. In the end, these soul powers will be gathered to a certain point, and this point is the core of this formation!"
As soon as Mo Wu finished speaking, Xiao Liu immediately reacted, staring at the lines under his feet with wide eyes and exclaiming
"Fifth brother, do you mean to say that these lines are ......"
"That's right! each of these lines actually communicates with this Soul Snatcher Demon Tree. In this way, the demon tree has actually been in contact with the formation core all the time. After the demon tree absorbs the power of the cultivator's divine soul, it will be temporarily stored in the spirit crystal, and then transported to the core through these lines. ”
Xiao Liu slapped his thigh and said
"In this way, as long as we follow one of the lines, we will definitely be able to find the core of the formation!"
At the same time that Xiao Liu said this, his body had already begun to move, and now they didn't have much time left, if they didn't hurry up, the companions outside would probably suffer irreparable trauma because their souls were too badly corroded.
While moving, Mo Wu in the spirit continued
"Another point, this formation shouldn't be simple. But we also have two huge advantages. One of them is that this formation is specifically aimed at the Divine Soul, and I happen to be able to absorb this power. All that's left is a contest to see who can snatch who's soul power. I'm still a little confident about that. ”
After pondering for a moment, Mo Wu said again
"The second and most crucial point. I think those behind the scenes still don't know that there is such a being as me living in your body. At most, they just mistakenly think that you are a kid with a relatively powerful soul cultivation. This time, if I can reverse the power of the divine soul in this formation, then my divine soul will recover to a relatively high level in a short period of time. This is a killer for the next enemy to face. By surprise, we're likely to turn the tables around!"
Xiao Liu listened to Mo Wu's words quietly, and his heart ignited with a monstrous battle intent.
That's right, as long as the fifth brother can regain his strength, then he is not only likely to be able to leave alive, but even have a chance to teach those disgusting guys a painful lesson!
Thinking of this, Xiao Liu's speed skyrocketed by one point again.
The run didn't take long, at most a little more than a minute.
Because this valley is not as boundless as it is seen in the Little Six Illusion Realm.
As Xiao Liu galloped, the lines under his feet gradually became more, and they all converged, like a river flowing into the sea, extending in a certain direction.
Finally, in front of Xiao Liu's eyes, a hole with a diameter of about less than two meters appeared, and Xiao Liu came and found that all the lines were going down here, dense, but it looked orderly.
It's right down there!
Xiao Liu's eyes were ice blue and looked into the cave, and then his face flashed fiercely, and he jumped down without hesitation.
This hole is much deeper than expected, but because the distance between the two sides is only two meters, Xiao Liu can use the friction between the Sky Splitting Sword and the cave wall to slow down the speed of falling.
Finally, his feet were on the ground.
In front of me, there is a dark cave, and there are no complicated ambushes and traps.
The only thing worth noting is that in the very center of this cave, there is a strange egg.
The egg was about a man tall and covered with vessel-like lines, making it look disgusting.
The most important thing is that Xiao Liu actually felt the breath of life in this egg.
"What is this?!Mo Wu, all of his soul power has been absorbed by it?"
Xiao Liu had never seen such an egg, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
In his imagination, the so-called formation core should be some strange stone that can store soul power, how could it be a living egg?
And in the divine soul, Mo Wu immediately relieved his doubts
"This is supposed to be the egg of a spirit devouring beast. Soul power is different from vitality, there are very few things that can be stored in the world, just like the spirit crystals you get by killing the demon tree, ordinary stored things can be stored temporarily at most, and they can't be maintained for a long time at all. There are only a few rare species that need to absorb the soul power of other creatures to survive. The Spirit Snatcher Demon Tree is like this, and the Spirit Devouring Beast in front of him is the best among them. ”
"According to legend, spirit devouring beasts are not only able to devour soul power to grow, but also to derive more and purer soul power as they grow and grow. I think the people who placed this soul devouring beast's egg here had this idea of hatching it and then slowly raising it before seizing more soul power. This Spirit Devouring Beast is a very rare species, at least I've only seen it once or twice in my life. ”
After listening to Mo Wu's explanation, Xiao Liu's heart became more and more jealous of those guys behind the scenes, and even this rare species was reduced to their props, which shows how powerful those guys are.
But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Liu suddenly thought of the Forbidden Soul Ghost Bead, isn't this bead a strange existence that can store soul power?
"I know you've thought about it, yes, the bead you got is really weird. I think it's more than just a little bit of a name for storing soul power. But the current situation is not the time to study these, so now you listen to my orders, and we will start to seize its soul power!"
Xiao Liu's spirit was shocked when he heard this, now that the situation is critical, he really shouldn't think about it.
So, under the guidance of Mo Wu, Xiao Liu cautiously came to the front of the spirit devouring beast egg.
The egg of the Spirit Devouring Beast, at this distance, could actually hear the heartbeat from inside, strong and powerful.
Xiao Liu unconsciously became a little nervous, but he still pressed one arm to the top of the giant egg according to Mo Wu's words.
Inside, there is a pothole sensation caused by the same lines as blood vessels, and there is some warmth.
Suddenly, the Spirit Devouring Beast's egg began to shake violently, although it had not yet hatched, it seemed to have some sense of danger, and it actually wanted to resist!
"Quick! concentrate and make sure my soul has a smooth access to it!"
Mo Wu shouted loudly, making Xiao Liu hurriedly stop caring about the spirit swallowing beast, he closed his eyes, felt the power of the divine soul that belonged to Mo Wu, and began to spread outward along his divine soul.
This time, the route traveled by Mo Wu's divine soul was Xiao Liu's arm that touched the soul devouring beast's egg.
