Episode 65: Accidents
"I was in too much of a hurry just now. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Lord. Lu Jue knelt in front of Qila and bowed his head. The tiny wounds on his neck and face, just torn open by those golden lightning bolts, were slowly healing.
"Lu Jue, you must keep in mind what I said to you. I told you that when every soul magician captures soul beasts, they must wait until the soul beasts are on the verge of death, and they are irreversibly damaged and cannot be recovered in a short period of time, so that their soul power level and stability are at their lowest, and then they can release their souls and quickly devour the soul beasts. Because devouring soul beasts is a very dangerous process, in the history of Yaslan, there are countless soul magicians who have been countered by soul beasts at the last moment. As an apostle, you were a little blind and conceited in your actions just now, and on the premise of not estimating the residual soul power of the soul beast at all, you recklessly released your soul, do you know how dangerous it is?" Qila looked at Lu Jue and said calmly, there was no anger in his tone, but it was not gentle.
"It's my fault. There will be no next time, please rest assured. But, Wangjue, can I ask you a question?" Lu Jue's deep eyes looked at Qi La, who was gradually illuminated by the morning light, and after seeing Qi La nodded, Lu Jue asked seriously: "Why do you want me to capture a soul beast like the Electric Fox?" In the Yaslan Realm, especially in the [Abyss Corridor] where we are now, there are countless higher-level soul beasts, why don't you capture them? With your status, I should capture more powerful soul beasts, right...... Don't be angry if what I'm saying isn't right. Lu Jue paused and added in a low voice. His cheeks flushed slightly, as if he felt a little shy about being a little conceited and conceited just now.
Urushi pulled back. Looking at the young and handsome Lu Jue in front of him, he suddenly realized that before he knew it, so many years had passed. Lu Jue has changed from the stubborn boy full of wild atmosphere he found in the desert to the tall and handsome apostle who is now loved by countless girls, and his former rebellion has gradually turned into gentleness. His former emaciation had become stronger. Among the Grantt female soul magicians, they all quietly referred to him as Aslan's most handsome apostle. His tall and sturdy body seems to be wrapped in lightning-like strength and aura, and his star-like facial features are carved by time day after day, showing a kind of masculine beauty that is as aggressive and domineering as an emperor but also noble and elegant. Qi stretched his hand, touched his thick sideburns, and said, "Lu Jue, the soul master's ability includes three parts, one is the soul master's own soul power. The other is the ability of the Horcrux, and the last one is the ability of the Soul Beast. But these three parts are not separated, but they penetrate and intersect with each other, and they are not simply added together as you think. Therefore, the stronger the soul beast, the better, but the more suitable for oneself, the better, and the same is true for Horcruxes - of course. There are some extremely powerful Horcruxes or soul beasts that are not within this general range. The power of these Horcruxes and soul beasts. It is basically possible to ignore the quality of the soul magician itself, as long as it can be captured or obtained, it should be listed as the first priority. I'll tell you about this slowly. Today, take the electric fox as an example, you inherited the soul circuit from me, so your talent is the same as mine, which is a strong control over time and space approaching the limit. And [Electric Fox] is a soul beast. Although the soul power is not as amazing as those giant monsters, they have a speed that surpasses the vast majority of soul beasts, except for the four ancient soul beasts, the electric fox is the fastest soul beast in the Yaslan realm that I have discovered so far. This and your talent as well as the characteristics of your array. is the most consistent. Speed is far more important to us than strength, resistance, etc. Moreover, the electric fox is one of the few social soul beasts in the Yaslan realm, and several other social soul beasts, such as [Ice and Snow Lion Winged Beast] and [White Cedar Ice Wolf], have more attributes for the control of ice and snow. However, our talents are not really good at elemental control. As a group soul beast, if you can capture them at the same time, then your soul beast will not be one, but a group, which is a coexistence trait that other solitary soul beasts cannot have - after the soul beast is captured, it will turn into energy in our seal, and the energy of different natures will conflict with each other and cannot coexist. In addition, the reproduction and regeneration ability of the electric fox is very amazing, as long as the last electric fox is not destroyed, then, they can quickly reproduce and reproduce, and return to their original number in a short time, thus providing combat strength that can continue to last. Qila's fingers slid over Lu Jue's thick eyebrows and said with a smile, "That's why I want you to capture them and become your number one soul beast." ”
Lu Jue nodded, he thought for a moment, and raised his head to look at Qi La's eyes covered by thick curled long eyelashes, "Lord Wang, what is your first soul beast? I don't seem to have ever seen you summon it." ”
"I don't have the first soul beast yet. Chira replied lightly.
"Why?" Lu Jue was a little surprised, "It's not difficult for you to catch any soul beast, right?"
"I haven't met the right one yet. Chira smiled, "And, it doesn't seem like I need it much for the time being." His gaze was as calm as water, revealing overwhelming power. Lu Jue understood what he meant by "not much for the time being" - over the years, following Qi La, there have been countless battles large and small, however, not to mention soul beasts, Qi La has hardly even used Horcruxes. Therefore, to this day, Lu Jue does not know what Qila's Horcrux is.
"However, I think soon, a soul beast that suits me will appear. I have a feeling that it will wake up soon. Qira patted Lu Jue's shoulder.
"Then Wangjue, do I need to catch these electric foxes now?" Lu Jue asked in a low voice as he looked at the group of electric foxes that were still slowly levitating in the light array of Qila, which was slowly controlled. The reason why he didn't have any confidence was because if he started devouring these electric foxes at this time, he felt that he was not capturing them by himself, but with the help of Qila's power.
"No need. There will be a chance in the future. And the number of this group of electric foxes is not the largest. I think that in the depths of the Abyss Corridor, there must be a larger number of electric foxes that gather together to survive in groups. ”
Zira stood up, draped his black feather cloak over his body, and he looked up at the light blue morning light. The last twinkling stars on the horizon disappeared into the sky as if they had been drowned by the turquoise waves.
The forest began to chirp with insects and birds, and the wind blew through the treetops, making a gentle rustling sound.
"It should be almost awake...... Let's go......" Chira's face was hidden in the shadows of the trees, leaving only the edges of the three-dimensional outline.
"What...... Awake?" Lu Jue looked at Qila a little nervously.
"[Bronze Sparrow], that's the second soul beast I want you to capture. Let's go, it's almost time for us to go. ”
After speaking, Qi stretched out his hand, and his pale fingertips gently placed on the trunk of a thick ancient tree beside him, and countless silver-white glowing silk threads swam out from his slender fingers, like spider webs, densely forming a complex central symmetrical pattern on the trunk, and a moment later, a chess piece was born.
Lu Jue walked over and was about to stretch out his hand to touch the chess pieces, when he suddenly remembered something, so he turned back to Qila and said, "Wangjue, I haven't seen the two brothers Shuhai and Zanghe these days, where did they go?"
"The two of them set off for the Rennes Sea a few days ago, and the news came from [Tiange] that the [Sixth Degree Prince] Siliuer had disappeared in the Rennes Sea, so the two brothers, Shuhai and Zanghe, set off to the Rennes Sea to find Xiliuer. ”
Lu Jue nodded thoughtfully: "Silul is known as the [Immortal Lord], if it is in the Rennes Sea, there shouldn't be any accidents, right?"
Kira half-squinted and did not answer. After a while, he turned around, looked at Lu Jue and said, "I don't know yet." Moreover, a lot of things that seem to be carefully planned look like an accident. And many sudden accidents, in fact, are often the ambition that takes years of careful calculation. So, let's take care of your own business first. As the highest-ranking Heavenly Apostle in this generation of Apostles, your current control over soul power is far from enough, let alone compared to me, even the [Apostle of the Earth] Zanghe and the [Sea Envoy] Shu Hai all have more accurate and powerful soul power control than you. You have to be worthy of the title of [Archangel], the highest status among the three apostles of heaven, earth and sea. ”
Lu Jue lowered his head: "Lu Jue keep it in mind." I will do my best, and I hope that one day, I can become a one-time prince like you, who is above everyone else. ”
Qi La lowered his head and looked at the handsome but humble Lu Jue in front of him, and a few faint lights suddenly flashed in his eyes, as if a few mournful gray clouds were floating across the cloudless blue sky.
Kira was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Well, if there is no accident. (To be continued.) )
