Chapter 8: The Soul of the Cunning Rabbit

The "soul activation" process is painful.

As soon as he sat down on the futon at the bottom of the silver tower, a dazzling white light shone down, and Chang Le suddenly felt the pain of his skull bursting.

Countless hallucinations were born in his consciousness, and thousands of pictures flowed endlessly, all of which were real life scenes, and each one was piercing Chang Le's heart.

This is the soul fragments that the Beast Soul Bell has collected over the years, and the little energy that has been lost from the soul body is just a drop of water in the great river compared to the complete soul. However, each fragment is associated with one of the deceased's most memorable episodes of life, as well as the most emotionally intense moments.

Countless dreams in the world, unforgettable love and hatred, make Chang Le who is new to life completely crushed.

He remembered what Anita said, "Stick to your original self", and she was also trying to resist, every time she remembered "I am Changle, I want to hold on", it was like a drowning person desperately rushing out of the water to take a breath, and then sinking back to the deeper bottom, and like a white cloth falling into a dye vat, no matter what, it could not maintain its original color.

Soul fragments come not only from humans, but also from beasts, which is the true meaning of "beast soul space"! What the beast soul brings is a more primitive competition for hegemony and the purest survival instinct.

Under the baptism of the beast soul, Chang Le began to run, dodge, and fight. If you can't make the right choice at the first time, the slightest carelessness will be the pain of being scratched and torn, and it hurts to the depths of your soul.

This is the "food chain", no matter how fierce you are, there will always be more powerful opponents falling from the sky, even if it is a tiger, there are moments when you are covered and eaten by hundreds of millions of fierce ants.

Chang Le was so afraid of the despair that death was imminent, he could only struggle and roar, fighting all his wisdom and ability, just to avoid the arrival of final annihilation.

Finally, a rabbit had no way to retreat, and between the wolf and the cliff, the rabbit resolutely chose to jump. Even if he dies, he will not let the beast eat his flesh, this is the last resistance in a desperate situation!

After all the hallucinations were gone, there was only lightless darkness around him, and Chang Le's body was still falling endlessly.

There will always be an end to the abyss, he doesn't know who he is, his mind is gradually in a trance, and the only thought is: "Okay, it's over, it's ...... free"

At this moment, a faint light flashed in the distance, like a firefly in the dark night.

Chang Le in the lost doesn't know how to think, and completely subconsciously meets the past, wanting to embrace that little bit of comforting warmth, just when the fireflies are within reach, the whole world suddenly shines brightly!

What is this place? Sounds familiar?

Chang Le opened his eyes, but what caught his eye was a handsome boy with a pair of dimples on his cheeks and a shy smile on his face.

Who is this? Looks familiar?

So who am I? Look at myself, I seem to be crouching next to a flower and grass trimming, with a blue and white dress on my knees?

The boy on the opposite side grinned, his face was slightly red, his eyes were a little shy and dodged, and he said:

"I miss my sister. ”

Hearing the boy's words, Chang Le was inexplicably excited, feeling that his heart was almost beating out of his chest, the world was overflowing with sour sweetness, and his face was unwilling to show it, so he could only try his best to pretend to be serious, but the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't be restrained at all, and finally laughed out loud, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, and threw it at the boy:

"Little thing, I really can't help you!"

Whose voice is this? It's so familiar!

A moment later, Chang Le shouted heartbreakingly:

"Sister Xue Firefly!"

This is Xue Ying's soul fragment! What Chang Le just felt was Xue Ying's sister's happiness at that moment!

I think about it, I'm that boy! I'm Chang Le! Sister Xueying, you are so affectionate to me, I don't understand until now!

Chang Le burst into tears and howled in his dreams.

Then he woke up......

Chang Le, illuminated by the soul rays, slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes were full of deep sadness.

Anita looked serious and asked softly:

"Master, are you okay? your soul almost disappeared just now, but fortunately it suddenly reversed at the last moment!"

Chang Le nodded, stood up from a cross-legged posture, looked down at his body, clenched his fists with both hands, and found that he seemed to be slightly taller than before, and the muscles of his whole body were full of elasticity, as if he had accumulated great strength, and he could jump up at any time and go straight to the sky!

At the same time, his mind has also become full, and he is now not only literate, but even has learned a lot of various and scattered knowledge or skills, which should come from those soul fragments.

The relevant knowledge of the beast soul has also automatically appeared in his mind.

"This is the soul of the cunning rabbit?" Chang Le pinched his arm and muttered lowly.

Anita smiled:

"Congratulations to the master for successful activation! You have advanced to the realm of the primary beast soul, obtained the 'Soul of the Cunning Rabbit', the offensive and defensive agility has been increased accordingly, and you can activate the Cunning Rabbit state at any time, the agility has increased by another 50%, and the hearing has been enhanced by ten times!"

"I don't need to say it, I already know it, and there are two special skills - 'Burst Kick' and 'Rainbow Fly'. ”

Chang Le officially became a Beast Soul cultivator, and his strength soared, but he couldn't be happy at the moment, because the last scene in the coma still haunted his heart.

After a long silence, he sighed faintly:

"I was able to come to my senses because I met Sister Xue Ying. Since her soul fragment is also in the tower, can you help her resurrect?"

Anita didn't answer immediately this time, the expression on her face was a little weird, she kept staring at Chang Le, a little trance-like, and when Chang Le looked at her, she seemed to have discovered her gaffe, and quickly changed back to the usual kind smile:

"Master, the soul fragment cannot be used for resurrection, but Anita can try to make a soul germ with it, and after implanting it in the body of Xue Hotaru, it can generate a new soul. Xue Ying, who woke up like this, is actually another person, everything needs to be re-learned and recognized, but at least this person is awake, can talk, laugh, and "

"Then there's no point, I want the real Sister Xue Firefly. Chang Le shook his head gloomily.

Anita pursed her lips and smiled meaningfully:

"Then, master, please cultivate well, make yourself strong to the heavens and the earth, omnipotent, and then find her complete soul. ”

"I will. Chang Le's voice was soft, but unusually firm.

He slowly walked out of the Beast Soul Tower, came to the residence, sat back on the side of Xue Ying's bed, and gently arranged the hair on her forehead:

"Sister, I will definitely try to save you. But even if you don't survive, I'll be with you for the rest of your life. ”

The voice of the sentence is also soft, but also firm.

After his sister kissed him on the forehead to say goodbye, he reluctantly left the beast soul space.

The main way to improve the realm of the beast soul is to fight, and the more evenly matched the battle, the more the soul potential can be stimulated. However, the "activation" took a long time, and now the sun has already set, and the city gate is closed, so going out of the city to fight monsters can only be said tomorrow. At this moment, Changle has nowhere to go, so he simply tries the effect of "Cunning Rabbit Soul" first.

After the cunning rabbit state was turned on, he could feel the muscles of his legs rise faintly, full of inexhaustible strength, and he jumped out more than ten meters with a slight jump, and his body was lighter than before.

"Whew!" he kicked again, which was a skill unique to the Cunning Rabbit state, "Burst Kick".

At the moment of the move, a wonderful power suddenly appeared, which seemed to originate from the back of the neck, and then caused the whole body to tremble like an electric shock, and the hip joint suddenly relaxed, like a flexible cogwheel that could be twisted and fit in any direction.

When his mind moved, his feet flew out, the speed was so fast, the angle was so strange that even Chang Le himself couldn't see the trajectory clearly, only his body could feel the powerful impact of this foot, and from the strange knowledge learned from those soul fragments, Chang Le found an appropriate word - recoil.

The "recoil" proved the power of that kick, which was almost like a cannon ejection!

It's a pity that I can't try it again right away, because the mysterious power of the current has disappeared, which is the "soul energy", and it will take a few minutes to re-accumulate, the so-called "skill cooldown".

He walked slowly in the untouchable area in the night, and just after the skills had cooled down, there happened to be a conflict between a family next to him, about the man lost the gambling money, and the woman was arguing with him, scolding to the heart, and a rice bowl flew out with a "It's not enough!"

Chang Le's mind just moved, and his feet had already kicked out, still "bursting kicks", still incredible speed and angle, and with a crisp "snap", the wooden bowl was smashed in the air and turned into sawdust.

It's not strange to kick a broken porcelain or clay bowl, but it's an explosive force to kick a tough wooden bowl to pieces!

What would be the result of this kick hitting a human in the head? Chang Le would break out in a cold sweat when he thought about it. Although Master Taylor is strong, he can't compare to this kick with the punch that Bang Changle, but it's a pity that the "burst kick" can't be used continuously, and if he fights with Taylor, he must seize the opportunity to make a move.

At this time, the sound of kicking and popping the wooden bowl alarmed the couple in the hut, and a surprised question was heard: "Who?"

Chang Le didn't want to answer, so he jumped up directly, this time it was "Hongfei".

The flight altitude was far beyond Chang Le's imagination, almost so frightened that he screamed, and after crossing three rows of houses, he finally fell back to the ground, and when he landed, his legs bent and bounced, unharmed. It seems that at this time, his ability to withstand the impact of falling from a height is far higher than that of a normal human being.

No wonder it is called "Hongfei" instead of "Hongfei", after drawing a long rainbow-like trajectory, it will eventually fall back to the ground, which is actually a light jump.

Chang Le was very satisfied with his current state, and he was looking forward to a higher Beast Soul realm.

In addition to the increased combat effectiveness, the cunning rabbit's hearing is also ten times sharper, causing a large number of sounds to enter Chang Le's mind at the same time, and the whole world becomes extremely noisy.

Fortunately, his consciousness can be automatically filtered, paying attention only to the information he cares about, such as the sudden approaching footsteps, or the voice of an acquaintance, or even some kind of strange noise coming from the darkness.

It was the clear, elastic "snapping" sound of flesh and skin, accompanied by muffled whispers and gasps, and some indescribably subtle sounds.

In the past, Chang Le didn't understand what this was, and he wouldn't care when he heard it, but now after an enlightenment in the haystack, a relevant picture will suddenly appear in his mind, and the more he doesn't want to hear the voice, the more he gets into his ears, but the night in the pariah area is very boring, and there are countless men and women who pass the time with this kind of thing.

Chang Le's face was hot, and even his body was hot, so he had no choice but to cancel the cunning rabbit state, stay away from those voices, calm himself down, and walk slowly like an ordinary person.

Before I knew it, I was back at home.

He never thought of really running away from home, no matter how angry his father was, his parents were parents, and this home gave him seventeen years of warmth and shelter.

The parents were not asleep yet, they were talking softly, the sound insulation of the simple shack was not good, and Chang Le, who was out of the cunning rabbit state, could still hear it clearly.

The mother was sobbing: "It's all your fault for driving your son away! Xiaole didn't even eat dinner, and he had no money on him, and now he ......."

My father never spoke, leaving my mother to chatter.

Chang Le's eyes were hazy with tears, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, since he can remember, his mother has been hugging, kissing, and caring for himself, which is simply doting, if there is no strict father at home, only this loving mother, he may be spoiled as a bad child.

Anyway, now that I am stronger, I can go out on an adventure another day, and when I earn money and come back, I will honor my parents well, and my father should be impressed with him!

He was about to knock on the door when he heard his father's extremely impatient voice:

"You let him come back! Let him be beaten to death by the young master! How many times have I said it, the young master will definitely not let him go! My son is stupid, and you are also stupid?"

Mother cried even more sadly:

"If the young master can't find him, he will look for us, this disaster can't be avoided anyway, it's better to carry it together as a family, and die together." But what do you want me to do now? Xiaole didn't eat or wear outside......"

"What are you carrying? You can't carry it, and neither can the little bastard!"

After the father said this fiercely, he was silent for a moment, and sighed faintly:

"Let's endure hardships all our lives, isn't it just to feed this son? I'm disabled, you're sick, and you won't live long. The little bastard went somewhere else, married a daughter-in-law, had a child, and was considered our grandson at all......"

The father seemed to convince the mother in exchange for a sobbing "Hmm!"

However, the last sentence made Chang Le burst into tears, it turned out that this was the truth!

He pushed the door slammed, and because he could not open it with the deadbolt in it, he fell to his knees, slammed his hands on the wooden door, and hissed and shouted:

"Dad, I misunderstood you! I won't leave! I'll carry something! My son can carry it now!"

There was an exclamation in the house, and the door was opened in a blink of an eye, and the mother rushed over and hugged Chang Le, shouting "Xiaole" one after another, and then hurriedly found clothes for him to wear, and anxiously asked her son if he was hungry.

Chang Le looked into the room, and saw his father sitting on the edge of the bed with a calm face through the faint moonlight.

He hurriedly said "not hungry" to his mother, then rushed to the side of the bed and knelt down, hugged his father's legs, put his forehead on his father's knees, and cried "whining". However, at this moment, Chang Le's heart is not sad, but the guilt of misunderstanding his father, and the unprecedented strong family affection.

"What are you doing when you come back?" the father said viciously, "Lao Tzu is not dead, what are you kneeling for?"

However, his broad palm was still pressed on the back of Chang Le's shoulder, stroking with a slight tremor, and all the father-son love was expressed in this caresse.

Not long after, the mother still boiled hot porridge and brought it, dismantled the father and son who were hugging each other, and urged Changle to eat.

Since Chang Le heard the intention, his father no longer insisted on driving him away, and after the family gradually regained their composure, they began to discuss how to deal with the revenge of the baron's family.

At this moment, Chang Le has undergone "soul activation", and it seems that he has even increased his experience, of course, he understands that he was too naΓ―ve before, a strange girl on the street, a few threats will make the young master dispel the idea of revenge? This is simply impossible! That girl doesn't even know her name, let alone come to Chang Le's bodyguard.

However, the city of Kassel was the domain of the Count of Offenberg, and Baron Baron's private army could not come. As long as the army does not appear, with the young master and a few evil servants under him, there should not be much of a threat, and Chang Le is now full of confidence in his combat effectiveness.

Father disagrees with this, since ancient times, not to mention untouchables, even civilians and nobles against each other is a dead end, even if it is just for the sake of face, the baron's family will not give up, not to mention that Young Master Taylor's hands are pinched like chicken feet? The city lord is also a nobleman, and he must stand with the nobles!

Besides, the family still owes the baron eighty silver coins, and Chang Le's becoming a slave has the meaning of paying off the debt.

Chang Le has experienced the baptism of millions of soul fragments, his knowledge has been greatly broadened, his head is full of legal knowledge of the unknown world, and he is immediately angry when he hears the word "debt":

"Dad's leg was broken while helping the baron renovate the castle, and it was a work injury! Not only did he not pay for the treatment, but he did not pay compensation, but asked us to pay him for the stones, which is also too unfair! When it comes to the court, is the judge unreasonable?"

"You say you're stupid, and you don't admit it!" the father became annoyed, "the nobles still reason with you?

"I mean the court! If you don't talk about it anywhere else, the court won't talk about it!"

"Tell me about you big-headed ghost! The noble lord still went to court to sue you?"

The mother hurriedly played a round game:

"Xiaole, listen to your dad in everything, you will slowly understand many truths in the future. ”

Before Chang Le could answer, his father asserted hatefully:

"Can he be reasonable? Seventeen years old is still a stupid person!"

The initial reunion became awkward again, Chang Le gradually felt bored, changed the topic and asked about the "lucky bell", but his father only said that it was passed down from his ancestors, and he didn't know anything about what it was. As for wearing it on Changle's neck since he was a child, it is because his parents love their son and hope that his son will have good luck.

The mother's behavior was very strange, her eyes were dodging, and she peeked at the small bell in front of Chang Le's neck from time to time, looking quite nervous.

But when Changle turned to ask his mother, she only copied his father's answer exactly like an endorsement.

There was nothing else to talk about, Chang Le simply hugged Xiaobai and lay back on his bed, no longer silent.

After the dead of night, looking at Xiaobai who was sleeping in his arms, Chang Le's heart moved, and he came to the beast soul space with him. The poor kitten was born deficient and never grew up, but the life energy here can replenish its strength and maybe cure its defects. And the dark energy, which is ten times higher than the real world, provides Xiaobai with more opportunities to "evolve".

The base is the first "combat creature".

Xiao Bai liked the environment here very much, and after coming in, he reluctantly accepted the "analysis" of the Beast Soul Tower, and immediately began to run non-stop, twisting his round body, chasing the grasshoppers in the grass.

Grasshoppers and other small creatures are part of the base's ecosystem, which has been dormant for an unknown number of years, and has recently revived with the base, and it stands to reason that the new "combat creatures" should coexist peacefully with it, but Xiaobai is full of curiosity about any small thing that moves, and will not give up if he does not catch it and play with it.

Chang Le was dumbfounded when he looked at the side, with a shocked expression on his face, the reason was not Xiaobai's liveliness, but Xiaobai's attribute - "Warcraft"!

Since obtaining the first-order beast soul, Chang Le also has a natural skill "Identification", which allows any creature to automatically understand its relevant information as long as he looks at it.

Little White ...... It's not an ordinary cat, it's a monster!

However, except for the level of "Elementary Level 1", there is no other information, I don't know what kind of genre it belongs to, I don't know what kind of offensive and defensive ability it has, and the Beast Soul Tower only analyzes one Beast Soul Skill from it, which is called "Strong Sleep". This skill of sleeping with your head covered means nothing to a busy person.

Even Anita was puzzled by this, believing that no matter how powerful a creature was, as long as the owner had a way to capture it into the beast soul space, there was no reason why it could not be recognized. What's more, this kitten is only the lowest-level magical beast, equivalent to the human monk level.

The only explanation is that Xiaobai is really a super monster in his infancy, and the bloodline is rare, and it is not within the scope of Chang Le's identification, the reason why it came here without resistance is probably that it has long regarded Chang Le as its master, and even regarded Chang Le as its parents.

This reason also explains another oddity.

All the "combat creatures" that are captured and domesticated, even humans, can establish ideological communication with Chang Le, and directly dialogue at the level of thinking, and Chang Le can establish or break this link at will. However, Xiaobai, as a magical beast with spiritual intelligence, was unable to communicate smoothly.

Chang Le established a link with it and could feel its "happy" thoughts, but he gave instructions "stop making trouble, come over obediently", but received feedback of "resistance". Xiaobai is neither able to communicate effectively nor completely obedient.

"The juvenile stage of the Super Warcraft" is still the only explanation, it is so powerful that the beast soul space cannot domesticate it, and its young mind makes it like a naughty child of three or four years old, both attached to Changle and not very obedient.

No wonder this kitten hasn't grown up for more than ten years, the lifespan of super monsters can reach thousands of years, and the juvenile period of more than ten years is too normal!

For this conclusion, Chang Le couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Anita comforted:

"The master doesn't have to worry, as long as it regards you as a master or a friend in its heart, no matter how strong it is in the future, it will not hurt you. As you level up and the Beast Soul Space becomes more functional, you can still domesticate it, and it will become a powerful help for you to conquer the world!"

Chang Le turned his gaze to Xiaobai and shook his head, his face full of pity:

"I don't want it to help me beat people, and I don't want to conquer any world, as long as Xiaobai can grow up happily, I can find Xue Ying's soul and live with her parents together, it's perfect. ”

At this moment, Chang Le suddenly realized the mood of his parents, his parents raised him, and the picture was not necessarily a return such as "pension", just like he raised Xiaobai and poured his love into it, but he didn't think about asking for any benefits, he just hoped that Xiaobai could be safe and happy all his life.

Chang Le left Xiaobai in the beast soul space, returned to reality alone, and looked at his parents while lying on the bed, the curtain was drawn, there was no snoring, it seemed that they had not fallen asleep.

"Daddy...... Mother ......" Chang Le thought silently in his heart, and the smile returned to his face.

At this moment, he was very sure that even if he was really reincarnated as a demon, even if he became powerful in the future, he would not swing a butcher's knife at ordinary humans, because there is love everywhere in the world!

After feeling comfortable and peaceful, Chang Le quickly fell asleep.

However, when the next day's dawn falls on the earth, the world is destined to show its cruel side.
