Chapter 19: The Nightmare Tree and the Soul Eater
The power of the venom-toothed rat comes mainly from numbers. And the passage where Xiao Ming is located is not very large, which makes the number of poisonous tooth rat people unable to play to the maximum, not to mention, Xiao Ming's shadow broken step can deceive the senses of the poisonous tooth rat people, so that half of their attacks fall into the air, and the dark fire is a sharp weapon to empty the danger, as long as the number of poisonous tooth rat people around him is large, Xiao Ming immediately let the dark fire form a ring of fire and spread out, sweeping the surrounding qiē. Fortunately, Xiao Ming absorbed dozens of beast cores before he came, and obtained nearly 10,000 battle soul energy. It can fully support his consumption.
When ordinary supernatural people fight, they consume their own spiritual power, that is, soul power. Xiao Ming is the same, but he has a huge advantage that other abilities don't have, that is, the soul energy stored on the large plate can be directly taken and used by him, so if there is a need and conditions, he can completely store a soul energy reserve that is deeper than that of a K-level ability king.
Of course, Xiao Ming would not do such a thing, and it was not a good thing for him to store too much soul energy. Because the more reserve soul energy in the big plate, the stronger the erosion of Xiao Ming's own consciousness, Xiao Ming didn't want to "invest in the enemy". So he won't let his soul exceed 50,000.
In any case, Xiao Ming is actually quite good at fighting protracted battles.
An hour later, Xiao Ming had already broken through more than a thousand meters and saw a huge crypt at the end of the passage. Xiao Ming picked up speed again, rushed out of the passage, and came to the crypt.
This crypt is obviously not part of the original ruins, but was formed after tomorrow, in fact, the original location of this crypt should still be a passage, but now that the passage is broken, part of it has been expanded into the current huge crypt.
&But it's this thing, damn it. Nasty thing!" Sansan suddenly screamed.
&What?" Xiao Ming looked in the direction of Sansan's line of sight, but saw a very beautiful tree.
It's already strange for a big tree to grow underground, not to mention that this big tree is quite beautiful. The tree was as tall as an entire crypt, about a hundred meters high, and its main trunk was more than thirty meters thick, and the crown was full of colorful flowers, and even the trunk was pink. Moreover, there is a colorful mist that surrounds the canopy and trunk of the tree, which looks fairy and beautiful.
&Be careful, this thing is a rainbow tree, also known as a nightmare tree, and it's a terrible thing. It's the thing that controls those venomous rat people. Those colorful fogs can produce strong hallucinations for people and star beasts, and they will always fall into illusions, so that they will be controlled by the rainbow tree. ”
& To the flowers that cause color, those flowers are actually the mouths of the rainbow tree, the rainbow tree is meat-eating, and the people and star beasts who are controlled by the colorful fog will automatically walk in front of those flower mouths, and then be eaten by the rainbow tree. At the same time, these accused people or star beasts will also go to the rainbow tree to find more prey. However, the control range of the rainbow tree is generally only about 1,000 meters, and rarely more than 2,000 meters. I think those venomous rat people are simply food raised by the rainbow tree. But just now it found out about our suction, so it sent a venomous rat man to capture us!" Sansan explained with a solemn expression.
& The Rainbow Tree is a native species of the Doji, but after the Battle of the Scarlet Cross, it became extinct, and I didn't expect there to be another one here, which is really surprising. No, it's annoying. I hate this type of stuff the most. I don't have the ability to do it, so I rely on others to be a thug for me. Damn, damn it!"
Xiao Ming didn't know what Sansan was excited about, he looked at the rainbow tree cautiously. At this time, those venom-toothed ratmen seemed to have received some order, and they surrounded Xiao Ming and Sansan without attacking.
&A rainbow tree has intelligence?" asked Xiao Ming.
& There is evidence that the intelligence of the rainbow tree is equal to that of your human five-year-old children, not high, but not low either!"
If we change the respirator to full-body mode, won't we be able to block it?"
The meaning of this transformation is that if the duration is sacrificed, then the respirator with only the head will be fully opened, and it will become a state that can put the whole body into it, which will shorten the use time of the respirator, but Bassam has prepared a lot of this respirator for Xiao Ming, so the loss of one or two is nothing at all.
> Hmph, if that old man's had been useful, this rainbow tree wouldn't have been called the Nightmare Demon King by you humans before. This colorful fog not only passes through guò breath, but also through guò skin, but even if it is isolated from both, it will still work. This thing is contagious. It's the same as your human psychic abilities!" Sansan seemed to hate psychic things, and he was gritting his teeth when he talked about the rainbow tree.
But Xiao Ming smiled: "Sansan, do you mean that this rainbow tree is actually not a drug control zhì, but a spirit control zhì?"
Sansan nodded, looking at Xiao Ming puzzled, curious why this guy suddenly laughed.
Xiao Ming used a soul searching technique, and sure enough, he found that those colorful mist were a collection of a large number of souls. Now he understood what it was like to feel that in the first small crypt.
Those things are simply diluted multicolored mist. These colorful mist should be the soul bodies split out of the rainbow tree, because they are all split from the rainbow tree, so each fog soul has a connection with each other and can be tightly united. Again, this explains why this thing is contagious, because it's a whole lot of souls.
>> If it's medicine or something, I can't do anything about it. But if it's mental control, I'm not afraid of it at all!" Xiao Ming smiled a little smugly. Xiao Ming will only expose his true character in front of people he completely trusts, in front of Tifa, and now, in front of Sansan, too.
Sansan raised his eyebrows curiously, it was the first time he had seen Xiao Ming with such a smile, it was a little novel.
"I'll try it!" Xiao Ming didn't explain much, and directly typed a few handprints.
"Soul Eater!"
With Xiao Ming's handprint, an inexplicable invisible force emanated from Xiao Ming's hand, forming a beam that spread out in front of him. At the moment when the force appeared, Sansan's conditioned reflex exploded all over its body, and it looked at Xiao Ming with wide eyes, and at this moment, Xiao Ming's body exuded an aura that made it feel that his life was in danger.
What kind of secret does this kid have?
Sansan was just startled, after all, Xiao Ming's actions were not aimed at it. But in the face of Xiao Ming's poisonous tooth rat man and rainbow tree, he directly fried the pot.
Those venom-toothed ratmen were originally accused of a state, so the resistance of the soul was extremely weak, at the same time as Xiao Ming's soul devouring duel came out, the venomous rat people fell down in pieces, if these venomous rat people were in a complete and normal state, then the soul devouring would never be able to play a role when they were still alive, but the souls of these poor guys had long been broken, just like the souls in those beast cores, where could they stop the devouring that has now reached the soul devouring duel?
Although Sansan couldn't see it, he could feel that there was an active power coming out of the bodies of those fallen venomous rat people, and then they were directly sucked in by Xiao Ming. And the colorful mist that surrounded the poisonous toothed rat man also ended the same fate, even more unbearable than the poisonous tooth rat man, the poisonous tooth rat man fell down one after another, and these colorful mist were simply sucked into Xiao Ming's body one by one.
Xiao Ming sucked back and forth for five minutes before stopping. More than half of the more than 1,000 venomous ratmen in the crypt have fallen, and the colorful mist is so faint that it is almost invisible.
>> Yes, these souls are so pure, especially those souls of the colored mist. Well, I really want to sit down here and practice well!" Xiao Ming smiled, his eyes rolled, as if he had thought of some ghost idea, and looked at Sansan: "Sansan, you mean that this rainbow tree has the intelligence of a five-year-old child? Can we communicate with it?"
Sansan still looked at Xiao Ming in a daze, and did not respond to Xiao Ming's question.
&33, why are you in a daze!" Xiao Ming raised his voice, which woke Sansan up.
"You're a monster, a big monster!"
The corners of Xiao Ming's eyes twitched again: "When I devoured the soul in the beast core, you saw it." What's all the fuss about?"
The corners of his eyes twitched: "When you devoured the beast core, was it comparable to just now?" I can suck out the soul energy in the beast core, but I can't digest it." But what you just devoured was the soul energy of living creatures, and the colorful mist of the rainbow tree, that is not soul energy at all, okay? Why can you also devour it? You are a monster!"
Xiao Ming pursed his lips: "I told you, everything in this world contains the existence of the soul." The soul is just one of them. There are also souls in the mist, I can devour the souls in the beast core, so what's so strange about devouring these souls? And you say living things, but in my opinion, it's different, these venomous rat people have been accused, so their souls have been broken, and in some sense, they are no different from those beast cores, so I can naturally devour them. As for those colorful souls, they are simpler, they are simply undefended things, one by one!"
In the last sentence, Xiao Ming also deliberately made a swallowing action, which scared the fat cat into a daze.
&Afraid of me?" Xiao Ming looked at Sansan, a little gloomy in his heart. He already regarded this magical fat cat as a friend, but if his friend was afraid of him...... Perhaps, he shouldn't expose anything on the Soul Sutra.
"Afraid of you?" Small, let the horse come, I can clean you up with a slap in the face. I'm angry. You've eaten so much delicious food, and you don't give me a penny. It's not enough buddy!" Sansan jumped up, with a sad and heartbroken face.
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, he knew that Sansan would not care about these "strange things" that happened to him, just like the mother of the family, the eldest sister and the younger sister, and Tifa. No matter what they are, they will accept themselves unconditionally.
&It's a pity that I don't know it yet, but maybe I'll let you try it in a while.' This tastes really good!" Xiao Ming knows that after the soul melting decision reaches the soul of the soul, he can have an extra ability, that is, he can divide a part of the soul energy to other people, which is a supplement to other people's soul power, and it will make people feel spiritual, but ordinary people do not cultivate the soul scripture, and the accommodation of soul energy at one time is limited, it is impossible to absorb too much, and it will not cause a qualitative change in the soul, at most, it is just like eating something and feeling satisfied.
>> That's what you said!" Sansan's eyes lit up, his big eyes flashed with the light of a foodie, and then it changed its color again, glanced at the rainbow tree on the side, and laughed wickedly: "Xiao Ming, is what I think and what you think the same thing?"
Xiao Ming also glanced at the rainbow tree and smiled: "I think it should be the same thing!"
