Volume 1: The Rising Mountains Chapter 40: Soft Persimmons
"The reason why I wasn't affected by the Soul Eater Snake Illusion may be that the dragon tattoo played a role, or maybe there was some other special reason why I didn't get affected by the illusion!" Xingchen was analyzing and thinking about the current countermeasures.
Xingchen's analysis and judgment are very correct, the Soul Eater Snake's innate illusion can make the prey lose consciousness and give up resistance, and even make some unconscious movements to expose his whereabouts, and Xingchen is not affected by the Soul Eater Snake's innate illusion One of the reasons is because of his ability to hide and lurk, and another reason is because he is a human in two lives, and the superposition of the soul power of the two lives gives him an unusually powerful soul power, and this soul power is the most important reason why he is immune to the Soul Eater Snake's talent illusion.
In the cultivation system of the Firmament Continent, human martial arts cultivators are all cultivating Dou Qi to improve themselves, and human martial cultivators who have cultivated Dou Qi to the extreme basically have the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth, but in the Firmament Continent, in addition to the well-known Dou Qi power, there is also an extremely mysterious power, that is, soul power.
Soul power is an energy attribute that is born with human beings, everyone's soul power is inherently strong and weak, and soul power can determine the cultivation talent of a human martial arts in the Firmament Continent in this life, the stronger the soul power, the stronger his mind and divine sense, the stronger his comprehension of cultivation, and the stronger his control over fighting spirit and martial arts, and this can also determine this person's cultivation talent to a certain extent. Because even if the soul power of human martial arts cultivation can slowly increase with the growth of Dou Qi cultivation, the magnitude of this increase is quite limited or even negligible, and the strength of the innate soul power of individual talented people far exceeds that of many Dou Qi powerhouses.
However, according to some ancient records in the Firmament Continent, there were some ancient races in history who did not cultivate Douqi, but specialized in the use of soul power and soul power, and Douqi was only an auxiliary role for them, and the cultivation of soul power to the extreme also had the ability to destroy the world, but these ancient races had long disappeared in the long river of history, so the method of soul cultivation had long been lost.
Xingchen is a human in the two worlds, and his soul strength is naturally more than twice that of ordinary people, and people with his soul strength may not be able to find one in the entire Tianfeng Kingdom, and the soul strength has an innate advantage in resisting illusions, and the soul strength of Xingchen is not weaker than that of a martial king-level powerhouse who has not specially cultivated soul power, so he has immunity to the soul devouring snake, a primary demon beast talent illusion.
Xing Chen's mind held three flying knives in his hand, these three flying knives were just made by Fan Tie, and they were the weapons he had bought before for cultivating flying knives and hidden weapon techniques, which could basically be regarded as one-time training weapons.
"It's now!" Xing Chen watched the Soul Eater Snake swim to the ground and suddenly flashed three cold rays in his hand, but these three cold rays were not aimed at the Soul Eater Snake, but at Li Man, Li Junshen, and Gao Peiling.
"Roar!" Xingchen's movements instantly alarmed the Soul Eater Snake, who was about to strangle its prey.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The three cold rays hit the arms of Li Man and the others with great accuracy.
"it!" Li Man's arm ached and suddenly woke up from the illusion, and when he first saw the soul eater snake with the thick demon body of a bucket in front of him, he was suddenly startled. Just now, he didn't know that he had fallen into an illusion, but he only knew that as soon as his arm hurt, there was a terrifying soul eater snake in front of him for some reason.
"it!" Li Junshen also made the same strange scream as Li Man after his arm was in pain, and the appearance of the snake demon beast was already infiltrating, especially when it suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air.
"What the hell!" Gao Peiling's arm was also startled, and her body suddenly exploded.
Xing Chen's flying knife just pierced their arms was not too powerful, and the purpose was to pull the three of them back from the illusion.
"Flash!" After Xingchen shot out the flying knife, his figure suddenly jumped out of his hiding place, and the speed of the snake demon beast's close-range attack was extremely fast, and it was only an instant matter of turning around and attacking him.
Xing Chen's judgment was correct, and the moment his figure burst out of the treetops, the tail of the Soul Eater Snake with terrifying power instantly twitched.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the green demon tree was instantly torn in two.
"! The primary demon beast has such a terrifying destructive power, how terrifying the higher-level demon beast should be! Xing Chen's body was like a nimble squirrel that continued to churn in the air, and then jumped to the top of another big tree more than ten meters away.
"You three flash flash, this is the Soul Eater Snake, born with illusions!" The Torturer screamed and continued to move back, he knew that the most terrifying thing about the Soul Eater was its innate illusion and its terrifying strangulation ability, but if it distanced itself from the Soul Eater, then it would not be so threatening.
"Soul Eater!" Li Man was suddenly clever when he heard Xing Chen's words.
There are often primary demon beasts on the periphery of the Green Demon Mountain Range, and the demon beast of the Soul Eater Snake is not common in the periphery of the Green Demon Mountain Range, but the name of the Soul Eater Snake is not unfamiliar to mercenaries like Li Man, and most of the human martial arts cultivators who are active in the periphery of the Green Demon Mountain Range are not high, and it is almost lifeless to encounter a demon beast with a natural illusion like the Soul Eater, and the Demon Beast of the Soul Eater Snake is not a martial artist of their kind of martial arts cultivation, that is, the martial artist or even the low-level great martial artist does not have enough defense, It is possible to break under the fangs of the Soul Eater.
"Run!" Li Junshen reacted and shouted.
"I'm scared to death!" Gao Peiling screamed and stepped back desperately.
"Give up the mission! Retreat separately, don't fight! Li Man shouted, the Soul Eater Snake was definitely not something that a mercenary team like them could solve, and the most important thing they should do now was to retreat separately.
"! A junior demon beast can run so fast! As for it! Xingchen shouted as he quickly moved back, and he secretly shouted in his heart. The primary demon beast is indeed a terrifying existence for him at this stage, but for Li Man and other high-level warriors, it should not be directly frightened and flee, before they did not work together to kill a primary demon beast Fengxing leopard.
"Ling Tian, you fucking run, don't worry about the task, this is the Soul Eater Snake, one Soul Eater Snake can kill 10 of me!" Li Man's deep voice sounded in the forest, and Li Man's words obviously carried a trace of extreme fear.
"! You're all running away, how can I play alone! After Xingchen heard Li Man's words, he also scolded secretly in his heart, he knew that his catties and taels, he could instantly burst out with powerful lethality because of the dragon-shaped tattoo, but after all, his cultivation was still low and the poor talent martial artist was fourth-order, and his dantian fighting qi reserves were small, and after one or two big moves, he had little fighting qi left, and if no one cooperated with him, he couldn't hold on to the junior demon beast for two rounds.
"Ling Tian, don't worry about the task, it's important to save your life!" Gao Peiling's voice also came, and at this time, the four of them were running in four different directions, and Gao Peiling was the closest to him.
"Got it, you've all run away, don't I run and stay there to feed the monsters?" A thought flashed through Xing Chen's heart, and he immediately sped up his movement.
"The movement of the primary demon beast is so terrifying!" Xingchen felt the terrifying movement in the forest behind him, and his heart was also a little shocked.
……
"! Why is it coming this way towards me! Xingchen felt the earth-shattering movement behind him coming in his direction, and suddenly felt bad, Li Man's purpose for letting them run separately was very simple, the Soul Eater Snake could only chase and kill one person at a time, as long as they ran separately, they might only be buried in the belly of the snake, originally the demon beasts were the strongest among the human martial arts cultivators in this case, but the Soul Eater Snake did not chase in the direction of Li Man and the others at this time, but chased towards himself, the weakest cultivator.
"Ling Tian, don't stop running to the periphery of the Blue Demon Mountain Range, the Soul Devouring Snake is more terrifying than the Wind Walking Leopard!" Gao Peiling's voice was also sent into Xingchen's ears with a fighting spirit, and all she could do at this time was to remind Xingchen.
"You still need to say it!" Xingchen didn't dare to stop, for he could already feel the Soul Eater Snake rapidly approaching him.
"Didn't you say that the strength of the Soul Eater Serpent is illusion, not speed?" Xingchen had already stretched his speed to the limit, but even without looking back, he could feel the Soul Eater Snake behind him rapidly approaching.
……
"Is this pinching me like a soft persimmon?" Xing Chen instantly drilled into the branch of a forked green demon tree in front of him, and then turned around and shot out again.
"Boom!" Xingchen only turned around, and just now, the green demon tree was swept away by the huge snake tail of the Soul Eater Snake.
"Poof!" A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of Xingchen's mouth, and he only felt as if someone had smashed his back with a heavy hammer, which was the trunk of the Green Demon Tree that had been cut off by the Soul Eater Snake and smashed his back.
"Damn, why didn't the dragon tattoo work at this point!" The moment Xing Chen's body was smashed into the air, such a thought flashed through his mind, and then he stabilized his body in the air, regardless of the sharp pain in his back, he hugged his body into a ball, and the moment he landed, his body rolled into the haystack in front of him with strong inertia.
After Xingchen stabilized his body, the pure fighting qi ran around his body for a week, forcibly calming the tumbling qi and blood in his body, although he had just received a heavy blow to the back, but it was only a tree pole that was broken by the snake's tail and smashed on him, so he was still able to withstand it.
"Shhh As soon as Xingchen stabilized his body, he heard the neighing of the Soul Eater Snake.
"Damn it!" Xingchen felt a great crisis, and he knew that the Soul Eater was already in the treetops behind him.
"His own strength is definitely not the opponent of the Soul Eater Snake! Even if you use all means, you can repel it temporarily at most! Xingchen had already been separated from Li Man and the others at this time, so he couldn't hide it, but he was very clear about his catties, and he was alone in front of a primary demon beast, and his combat power was far from enough.
"The green dragon is out of the water!" Xing Chen let out a low roar, and a strong fighting aura was brought in his hand, and in an instant, a cyan dragon-shaped phantom appeared in his hand.
"Shhh The Soul Eater Snake also suddenly rushed down from the treetops and pounced towards Xingchen, just colliding with the blue dragon phantom that Xingchen blasted out.
"Boom!" The moment the Soul Eater Snake and the Green Dragon Phantom came into contact, a loud bang erupted, although Xing Chen's cultivation was still weak, and the Blue Dragon Phantom he blasted out would exert thirty percent of its power at most, but the dragon innate suppressed the snake, and at this time it was just right to restrain the Soul Eater Snake, and the two collided and erupted into a huge movement, and the Soul Eater Snake retreated at once.
"It works!" Xing Chen forced the soul devouring snake back with one palm, and his body was overjoyed, but his body suddenly retreated, and after he cultivated to break through a small realm, the power of the martial art of the green dragon out of the water was even more amazing.
"Reiki!" Xing Chen's mind moved, and the aura in the tattoo space continued to surge towards his dantian and transformed into fighting qi.
"Damn, the fourth order of the martial artist can't use the green dragon water continuously!" Xing Chen took advantage of this gap to frantically absorb the extremely pure aura in the tattoo space, even if he successfully advanced to a small realm, after he used the Qinglong Water Martial Technique once, there was only less than thirty percent of the fighting energy left in his body.
"Shhh The Soul Eater let out an angry roar after being forced back by Xingchen's palm.
"! Crazy! Xing Chen retreated while desperately absorbing the aura of the tattoo space to replenish himself.
"The green dragon out of the water is today's hole card, but his strength is not the fourth order of the martial artist, at most he will exert the power of this martial art, even if he has the aura inside the tattoo space to replenish in real time, he will be exhausted when he uses the green dragon out of the water twice, and according to the effect of the green dragon out of the water just used, he can't kill the soul eater snake with the green dragon out of the water again!"
"Relying on the aura of the tattoo space is too late to replenish the consumption in the battle, you have to use the pill and then speed up the run!" Xingchen still decided not to fight the Soul Eater to escape for his life.
"Try the elixir!" Xing Chen's mind moved, he took out a second-order Qi Gathering Pill from his storage bag and stuffed it into his mouth, and accelerated towards the back of the forest, this Qi Gathering Pill was the highest-grade recovery pill on his body, compared to absorbing the spiritual energy recovery inside the tattoo space, the second-order Qi Gathering Pill only needed to be dissolved in the body to be able to directly transform into Dou Qi, which was much more efficient.
