Section 4: Devouring
"Sister, don't you have a soul beast, then you still come?"
"I don't want [Ice Raccoon Dog] at all, it's my brother Shensi who wants it. Kamion stuck out her tongue slightly. Qi Ling was stunned.
"Then why are you here with so many people?"
"[Ice Raccoon Dog] is also quite a powerful soul beast, although it is not as powerful as my [Dream Weaver], haha. Shenyin quietly approached Kirin, "Don't tell my brother, or he'll be angry again." Capturing soul beasts is a particularly dangerous thing, because to release most of your soul power to devour the other party's soul power, I say simpler, it is equivalent to releasing your soul naked from the body, and then devouring the other party's soul, this process is not careful, it is easy to be swallowed by the other party. That's not fun...... Therefore, generally we concentrate on attacking the soul beast to the dying state first, and then take advantage of its weakest soul power to devour it and make it our own soul beast. So, we're here today to help my brother as a round-up hunter, and we're responsible for attacking it until we die, and then my brother goes to devour it. β
"Ah, that's ...... so" Kirin nodded as if he didn't understand.
The dark night enveloped Fukuzawa Town, and the lake-like cold seeped into every corner.
The forest at the end of the road was eeriely silent in the night. In the bottomless darkness, there were bursts of huge footsteps, like huge drumbeats, getting closer and closer.
There was a slight snow in the sky, at first it was just a little sporadic snowflakes, reflecting the bright light like stardust in the night, and in the blink of an eye, the temperature of the air dropped rapidly, and the whole town seemed to be pulled into the depths of a glacial canyon, one second it was still a soft dirt floor, and the next second it became a hard frozen soil with layers of ice shell.
In the dark forest, the churning blizzard roared forward with a speed that swept through everything, devouring all objects with temperature, as if trying to freeze everything in the heavens and the earth.
This catastrophic danger was rushing towards the inn, but the people inside, who didn't seem to be aware of all this, were still like squirrels sleeping in the depths of the tree hole, not feeling the storm outside the tree hole.
"Sister, do you still want tea? I'll get it for you." Kirin shivered and looked out the window, as if the wind was blowing. He stood up, walked to the window, poked his head out to look at the deserted street, and closed the open window. Kirin turned and walked back to the back of the bar, took a burning wood from the fire, walked to the fireplace by the wall, and lit the charcoal inside. The temperature in the room gradually rose a little with the fire that was lit.
"Why is it so cold all of a sudden? It's just early winter. Kirin fiddled with the charcoal fire and tightened his collar.
At this moment, Ligil, who had been nestled in a chair far away from them, stood up gently, and she shook her hand, and the jingling bracelet made a dense sound like a shower. Her pupils emitted an ice-blue terrifying light, and her face still had that innocent and weird smile, "Oops, it's finally here, I've been waiting for a long time." β
With that, she walked slowly towards the door, and in the corner of the lobby, a vague and misty green light followed behind her, and some wandering black shadows rolled in the light, entwining, emitting a low-decibel scream. As Ligil walked past the gods, she looked at him, and then smiled and said, "Then I'll go first-" As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly threw her hand back, and her whole body twisted into an extremely strange posture like a bird spreading its wings before taking off, and the next second, there was a sudden "bang" with a loud bang-
In the huge dark green light in the corner, the huge [bone butterfly] suddenly appeared in the air, and the white bones stretched and expanded, making a terrifying sound of "click", and in an instant, it used all its strength to flutter its wings, and rushed into the sky with a "boom", after fully opening its wings, it was like a huge ghost shrouded in the sky, and countless viscous green juices splashed out from its wings, like a strange green rain. The roof was knocked out of a huge hole, and the broken beams and tiles smashed down in a chaotic manner, and Qi Ling was just about to escape, Shenyin raised his hand gently, and his fingertips moved quickly and intricately, and a huge silver-white wire net was stretched out with a "buzz" on their heads. All the broken beams and broken tiles were smashed into the net, like insects preyed on by cobwebs.
Ligir turned, looked up at the huge silver wire mesh overhead, and then withdrew his gaze and swept over the faces of the members of the God Clan. The cold voice came out like a snake from between her small and dark purple lips: "Hey, I'm really unlucky, when I meet such a strong opponent who wants to grab [Ice Raccoon Dog] with me, it seems that I can only strike first." β
Kamith smiled coldly and said, "It's good that you know. β
Ligil tilted her head, pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes full of intricacies that wanted to speak and stopped, she didn't say anything, turned and walked slowly out of the station.
She walked to the door, turned her head, looked at the back of the god in the inn, and said to herself in a low dream: "The opponent I am talking about is not you." I'm talking about the one who is chatting with the kids over there, and she's the real monster compared to me. β
In the room, Shenyin, who was talking to Kirin with a smile, as if she felt something, gently turned her face and looked at Ligil outside the door, showing a charming smile to her.
After Ligir left, only the people of the God Family, and Kirin were left in the room.
A slightly older woman, who was sitting next to the gods, said to the gods, "Are we really going to let her go first?"
Shen Si said: "Don't worry, she alone can't devour the [Ice Raccoon Dog]." Let her consume some of the [Ice Raccoon Dog] soul power first. β
Kirin originally didn't have a good impression of Ligil at all, but when he heard Shensi say this, he suddenly felt that she was a little pitiful, and he couldn't help but have some bad impressions of Shensi in front of him. Although Ligil is certainly not an idle person, after all, it seems a little immoral for a group of adults to ask a little girl to die first.
Qiling watched the back of the little twelve or thirteen-year-old girl disappear at the end of the road outside the door, and he felt a little unbearable in his heartβof course, if he looked up and saw the huge ghostly [Bone Butterfly] that was slowly following Ligil and hovering above her at the moment, it would have been a different feeling.
The time of one light passed, and no one spoke in the entire station, and even Shenyin lowered his head and pondered, no longer talking to Qiling. This silence is really a bit oppressive. Maybe it's because everyone is preparing for a wait-and-go roundup, and everyone's expressions look a little dignified.
Kirin sighed, turned and walked towards the counter, and had just taken two steps when suddenly a biting cold spread from his chest. His feet seemed to have lost their strength and he fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the whole room was shrouded in a faint white light, and a thin layer of ice spread in from outside the door, and soon, the whole ground was covered with ice.
The door of the inn was suddenly opened by the wind violently with a "clang", and Ligil didn't know when, she was already standing outside the door, and her face was the kind of smile that was slightly distorted by extreme excitement, and it was terrifying to watch.
There was an eerie sound in the air between strings and beeps, piercing the eardrums so painfully that no one knew where it came from, like an invitation from hell.
The light outside the window grew whiter and whiter, as if the apocalyptic end of the world was coming.
Ligil stiffened, and walked in with a very awkward step, step by step. She gently raised her left hand and pointed out the door, "Hehe, what a pleasure, ...... today" Her gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the room.
Shensi's heart suddenly fell. He gritted his teeth in hatred. "It seems that I still underestimated your soul power...... Forget it today, I don't want it!" he stood up suddenly, suppressed his anger, and prepared to leave.
"Oops. Something was ringing in Ligil's body, and it sounded like a rattling stickiness, "I'm not done yet." β
Kamith turned his head, his expression becoming as if he had seen the most terrible nightmare, and he took two steps back in surprise.
And Qi Ling, who had already retreated to the wall with a pale face.
