Volume 1 23: Soul Crystallization

Xiong Zhen looked around, satisfied with the admiration and ...... of the beasts around him Fear.

He liked the feeling of oppression of his beast with his might, which gave him the illusion that he was the master of the forest.

The group of stupid birds in the trees stopped singing at this time, and he could sense the spiritual power escaping from the bodies of those creatures, as if he could control the life and death of these guys with a single hand.

However, in this harmonious and tranquil landscape, there seems to be a little discord.

From the breath brought by the wind, he smelled a hint of a smell that was not very comfortable for him, like a kind of personal suppression, or ...... It's just a little thing that doesn't see it.,It's not like other monsters who fear themselves.。

Damn it, the human beings who have the ability to change the environment of the forest, who can still live and work in peace in the mountains even if they are weak, as if they are favored by nature, are only used by him as a tool to "make an example", and use their blood to enhance their deterrence...... has already reached this point, is there still an existence in the forest that does not obey him and is not afraid of him?

No...... Xiong Zhen calmed down, but before he could say what he should say, he showed a decline in front of the herd.

He only considered the situation of the animal vein in the beast clan, but ignored that the guys in the other vein might not eat their own set.

"As future companions and collaborators, we can cultivate a relationship first."

He opened his mouth, and the bright red spiritual power was released from it, turning into lines of different thicknesses, weaving all kinds of patterns in front of the eyes of the beasts.

Then, all the figures composed of spiritual power surrounded him, transforming into a suspended door with no backing behind it, and then slowly opened by his mind.

On the opposite side of the door are countless colorful jewels, ornaments, and weapons inlaid with shiny stones.

In the next instant, the spiritual power that formed the lines of the door frame suddenly dissipated, and all the treasures on the other side of the door also fell out one after another, scattered on the dirt ground in front of the beasts.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the blood-stained giant bear narrowed his eyes and smiled, as if he had never suppressed the surrounding demon beasts through his momentum, "After a long and unremitting search, I have found the relics of the Beastmaster. ”

"The relics of the Beastmaster?!" As soon as these words came out, the beasts suddenly became agitated.

"These are the last treasures left in the world before the previous King of the Dark Forest lost his whereabouts." With a wave of his hand, the "Beastmaster Relic" on the ground was automatically packed into a box made of spiritual power, "It contains majestic spiritual power that you and I can't even imagine." ”

"I want to use them to ......," he paused for a moment, stirring up the interest of the beasts around him, "triggering a tide of beasts." ”

"Wait."

The discord sounded as he expected, however, to his slight disappointment, the other party did not question the authenticity of the "Relic of the Beastmaster":

"We are here on the orders of the Flower Emperor, Xiong Zhen, you have destroyed the peace of the Xuancai Mountain Range many times, and this incident of the spiritual power disorder in the dark forest should also be your main push behind the scenes...... You even want to lead the beast tide back. ”

"The Karen will not allow such a thing to happen." The herd dispersed, revealing the voices of the refuters hidden within, who were strange creatures with humanoid silhouettes and bodies covered in bark, "Kao doesn't want the balance of the forest to continue to crumble. ”

Obviously, their words are also understood by the surrounding demon beasts:

"This bunch of guys is...... Dryad! Then the Flower Emperor in their mouth is the ruler of the Dryads? ”

"Traditional dryads can't transform into human beings, they are higher-class beings!"

"The Flower Emperor? What is Kao? Can you eat it? ”

"The Flower Emperor is the emperor of flowers." Xiong Zhen was not afraid of the nouns in the mouths of this group of demon beasts covered in tree bark, but he also "kindly" helped introduce the owner behind them, "Lord of Golden Mandala Flowers...... The king who hates falsehood and sings about reality! ”

"He can't control me, though." The giant bear snorted coldly, "It's just a will born from a piece of grass, besides, it is rumored that he hasn't appeared in front of us and other beasts for thousands of years, I'm afraid he has already withered." ”

"You are just following the cowardice of your heart, and in the name of imaginary beliefs, you are hindering me from leading you allβ€”leading you in the dark forest to the top!" He decisively put a hat on the demon beasts of the plant vein and slandered their true intentions.

"In this forest, all you need is one Beastmaster!"

His meaning is very clear, not only showing that "the Flower Emperor is also a beast king", but also sure that "the flower emperor is dead, and the demon beasts that refute themselves are cowards who do not make the climate", so, another noise came from the beasts, and the beasts hurriedly stayed away from those "tree demons".

They all drew a line with the monsters who opposed Xiong Zhen.

Seeing this, Xiong Zhen smiled fiercely, leaned down, rubbed a little blood from the prey he brought, and then flicked his body, countless blood droplets turned into arrows, and at a lightning speed, the demon beasts that were deliberately separated from the beast herd were pierced into a sieve.

"How dare you disobey the will of the Flower Emperor!" The plant-vein demon beast that knew that it would die today let out a roar, but in Xiong Zhen's opinion, he just wanted to die with more dignity.

"Poof!" A bloody arrow erupted from the giant bear's mouth, hitting the half-open mouth of the "dryad", and then the huge but extremely flexible giant bear pounced on it, tearing the other party to shreds.

After all the "messengers of the Flower Emperor" were killed, their bodies gradually merged with the earth, and the spiritual power stored in their bodies was slowly released into the atmosphere, and before they could get away, they were swallowed by the bears again.

And in the process of returning these bodies to nature, Xiong Zhen's eyes lit up, as if he saw something worth surprising-

A small, white crystal, without warning, precipitated from the dirt that the demon beasts had turned into, suspended in mid-air, emitting an extremely inconspicuous faint light.

"Oooh!" Xiong Zhen said excitedly, "Can his personality be able to crystallize his soul?" ”

In this way, it will be more convenient to absorb the power of this deceased beast clan.

At this moment, all the obstructive beasts present were killed, but Xiong Zhen still felt a strange aura, swirling in this jungle, provoking his mind all the time.

"What's that?"

At the same time, Fang Nuo, who had come to the vicinity of the gathering of the beasts, leaned on the treetop of a redwood tree, and turned his head to signal the two followers to pay attention to the pure white crystal hanging in the air.

"Also," he remembered the bloody scene he had just witnessed, "you two should know what I want to ask about - the matter of the Flower Emperor, and the ability of the universal nature of the plant vein demon beast......"

"It's the crystallization of the soul." The well-informed Bird Queen replied, "It is rumored that the lifeless bodies of demonic beasts like ours are left behind after death...... Some will be permanently fixed in their appearance at death, some will decay and return to nature, and some will transform into the products of various civilizations and be passed down through the ages. ”

"Although the body will survive in different forms, the soul will be different." "Our souls will be transformed into a supply of atmospheric spiritual power, or they will be devoured by the creatures that kill us and become their power." ”

"And only when a demon beast has reached a certain level, their soul will be solidified into a crystal by the spiritual power that may escape at any time."

"The higher the person, the harder the soul crystal, and the more dazzling the brilliance it emits, you seeβ€”" Taro raised one of his wings and pointed at the crystal that was coveted by the giant bear, "that thing is at most reflecting the light of the moon, like a glass ......"

"The witch-sama's pharmaceutical utensils are also made of glass, and it feels much more beautiful than it." Xiao Hei interjected.

"It's like a stone that has been washed and polished by running water." The Queen of the Birds changed the metaphor, "Although no longer rough, but ......"

"It's just not worth much?" Fang Nuo put on a look of "I understand", signaling Taro not to be "stumped" by the soul crystallization instance not far away, and continued on this topic.

"After reaching a certain level, the existence form of the soul in our body will also change, you think, now we can improve our own strength, strengthen the perception of spiritual power, and then perceive the concentration of spiritual power in the body of the perceived object."

"Hehe, I can't do it for the time being." It's all the witch's fault.

"It is said that for demon beasts that can already make their souls crystalline, this ability of 'spiritual power perception' can be changed to 'sense the crystalline state in the other party's body', and powerful demon beasts can even see the most important crystal in a demon beast's body with the naked eye."

The Bird Queen looked down at her heart:

"The crystallized soul will gradually replace our heart, so that even if the heart is destroyed by an external force, as long as there is spiritual power in the body, our soul can ensure that we do not die."

"New soul crystals will also gradually regenerate in the missing part of the heart...... "Also, although such a demon beast will only precipitate one crystal from their body after they pass away, while they are still alive, every cluster of spiritual power in their body can actually turn into a crystal." ”

"Many demon beast families cultivate their dependents by sharing soul crystals...... she remembered the giant snake that was supposed to be dormant in winter, "Or, cultivate the juniors in the clan." ”

"By the way," Taro turned his head to Kamino's puzzled gaze, "If you're lucky enough to pick up that crystal in the future, don't eat it like that bear." ”

As he spoke, the giant bear under the tree not far away had devoured the soul crystals left behind by the plant demon beast, and then let out a roar and continued to show off his might.

"Why?"

Even though he looked confused, Fang Nuo already had the answer in his mind.

Some demon beasts that like cannibalism rely on this method to become stronger, but for the Yellow Immortal clan who hold the secret method of promotion, there is no need for them to do this kind of self-degrading thing.

Devouring the spiritual power of other demon beasts, or taking crystals transformed from the souls of other demon beasts, will only make one's soul no longer pure, and make one's own spirit deranged.

On the contrary, it will make itself farther and farther away from the goal of "becoming a fairy beast and a divine beast".

Hunting for creatures that have not yet been enlightened is another matter, it is a food chain that has been established in nature since the birth of monsters, and neither the hunter nor the hunted will have a problem with this.

The spiritual power in the bodies of those weak beings is also pure and does not contain the impurities of "self-awareness", and it is easy to use it for oneself.

Moreover, having a lot of contact with these "outside beings" will help the Yellow Immortals to give full play to their family strengths, increase their strength, and increase the possibility of promotion.

Like those Huang Xian in the clan who have special habits and like to kill, if they do this kind of thing, they will not be as arrogant as the giant bear.

Moreover, the elders of the clan will also regularly collect medicinal herbs for purifying spirits in Huangxian Ridge...... Although Fang Nuo himself had not participated in any of these events, his brother had served as the leader of a team of herb pickers, and was familiar with the areas of the hunting grounds where the herbs grew.

The bear thought he was doing something "good", but he didn't know that he was just digging a hole for himself.

The more meat he smelled and the more he didn't know how to purify the impurities in his soul, he would never be able to ascend to the position of "Beastmaster".

That's why Fang Nuo looked down on him.
