Chapter Eighty-Four: Soul Soldier

After a person dies, if he is concerned and his soul has not yet entered the cycle of reincarnation during the period of the seventh and seventh days, then the soul of the person will not enter the cycle of reincarnation, and then become a yin ghost, or attach to something to become a spirit demon; after death, if the heart is very resentful, by chance, it will be resurrected in the underworld and become a true zombie.

Between heaven and earth, zombies will not appear in other living beings except humans. However, after the death of some beasts, under special circumstances, they will also become yin ghosts or spirit demons.

The yin ghosts formed after the death of beasts are generally called yin beasts, and the spirit demons formed after the death of beasts are generally called yin demons.

Like the spirit demon, the yin demon is also very rare, and the same as the yin ghost, the yin beast is more common, and the spirit sucking centipede that Chang Shan saw back then is actually a kind of yin beast.

Among the Yin beasts, it is very rare for a Yin beast to rely on absorbing spiritual energy to strengthen itself like the Spirit Sucking Centipede, and most of the Yin Beasts grow themselves by devouring the souls of other living beings.

Therefore, the Thousand Soul Snake, which is naturally capable of devouring other living beings, can be regarded as a divine beast among the Yin Beasts.

Before the Thousand Soul Snake turned into a Yin Beast, it was actually not called the Thousand Soul Snake, but the Spirit Devouring Snake, which was a strange snake that was good at absorbing the life vitality of other living beings.

The Soul Eater Snake will generally have nine snake eggs in one litter, and when these nine snake eggs are hatched, if one of them happens to die out of the shell, then the soul of the Spirit Eater Snake will become a Thousand Soul Snake.

After the Thousand Soul Snake appears, it will first devour the souls of his other eight Soul Eaters born in the same womb as him, and initially have the ability to clone, and then, the Thousand Soul Snake will kill a thousand snakes and become a Thousand Soul Snake that can truly divide a thousand souls.

Due to the rarity of the Spirit Devouring Snake and the very harsh conditions for the formation of the Thousand Soul Snake, the Thousand Soul Snake can be said to be the least common Yin Beast in heaven and earth.

For this kind of yin beast that is as rare as a divine dragon, Chang Shan took it with ten thousand ghost flags, not to kill it, but to refine it into his own soul soldiers.

In the cultivation world, cultivators increase the power of spells through magic weapons, and in the wilderness, cultivators will increase the power of spells by cultivating soul weapons in addition to using magic weapons to increase the power of spells.

Soul soldiers, which are refined from the soul, are generally used directly as a magic weapon or weapon in addition to increasing the power of some spells.

Compared with weapons and magic weapons, the method of enhancing the power of soul soldiers is relatively simpler, as long as you let soul soldiers devour the souls of some living beings, and then temper them in the Heavenly Tribulation.

Therefore, in the wilderness, almost all cultivators cultivated soul soldiers.

Since soul soldiers can only achieve qualitative progress by using the Heavenly Tribulation to temper them, most cultivators do not dare to be distracted to refine their soul soldiers when they cross the Heavenly Tribulation.

Therefore, although almost all of the cultivators in the wilderness cultivated soul soldiers, there were very few cultivators who really possessed powerful soul soldiers.

The power of a soul soldier is related to the number of times it uses the Heavenly Tribulation to temper it, and it also has a lot to do with the quality of its body. If the ontological quality of the soul soldier is too poor, even if the cultivator who cultivates the soul soldier dares to temper the soul soldier when crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, the soul soldier will not be able to withstand the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.

In the wilderness, powerful cultivators, when cultivating soul soldiers, as much as possible, will choose the strongest yin beast they can refine as their soul soldiers.

For cultivators who want to cultivate soul soldiers, the Thousand Soul Snake is more valuable than the Divine Dragon's Yuan Shen.

In the "Soul Sutra", when introducing the refining method of soul soldiers, the three most powerful soul soldiers in the history of the wilderness are also introduced.

Among the three soul soldiers, the Vermilion Bird Spear, the Huangquan Suo, and the Misty Incense, the Huangquan Suo is a soul soldier refined by the Thousand Soul Snake.

Chang Shan is not a person who doesn't care about the overall situation, the reason why he cultivates soul soldiers at this time is because the Thousand Soul Snake is too rare, if he misses it this time, even if he can live for tens of thousands of years in the future, I am afraid that he will not encounter the second Thousand Soul Snake again.

After collecting the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner into his body, Chang Shan felt that the Yellow Spring Yin Mansion Great Array in the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner began to refine the Thousand Soul Snake.

"I can't imagine that the quality of this Ten Thousand Ghost Banner is so good!"

Chang Shan was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly moved the soul bead to the dantian, and at the same time as releasing the Thousand Soul Snake from the Ten Thousand Ghost Flags, he wrapped the Thousand Soul Snake with the soul fire that appeared when the power of the Yuan Shen was burning.

Although the strength of this Thousand Soul Snake is not weak, the soul fire of Changshan is comparable to the soul fire of the cultivation of the Green Dan Stage.

The Thousand Soul Snake struggled for a moment, then shrunk its body as much as possible to resist the calcination of the soul fire.

While Chang Shan calcined the Thousand Soul Snake with soul fire, he also divided a trace of the power of the Yuan Shen for the Thousand Soul Snake to devour.

The process of refining soul soldiers is actually somewhat similar to the process of refining a weapon with blood, the part of the primordial god that Chang Shan devoured to the Thousand Soul Snake is equivalent to essence blood, and the soul fire is equivalent to real fire.

The Thousand Soul Snake struggled for less than a quarter of an hour before it stopped struggling.

Feeling that the Thousand Soul Snake was no longer struggling, Chang Shan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to let the Thousand Soul Snake devour his Yuan Shen while calcining it with soul fire, and only then did he stop until the Thousand Soul Snake turned from white to dark gold.

Chang Shan moved the Thousand Soul Snake to a magic vein on his right arm, let out a long breath, and opened his eyes.

Due to the excessive consumption of the power of the Yuan Shen, Chang Shan's face was pale, and there was obvious exhaustion on his face, but the joy on his face was not covered by the exhaustion.

"Thank you Uncle Shi and the three senior brothers for protecting Changshan!"

As he said this, Chang Shan got up and stood up.

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine!"

Chang Shan shook his head at Shi Peng, looked at Wu Tianzhong and Wu Tiancong who wanted to stop talking, and said with a smile: "That snake is a yin beast, and ordinary attacks can't kill them." If you want to kill it as soon as possible, you can only lure it into your body and refine it with soul fire. ”

Wu Tian nodded emphatically and asked Chang Shan, "The little black flag you took out just now should be an evil magic weapon for collecting yin ghosts, right?"

"Hmm!"

Chang Shan nodded and summoned the Ten Thousand Ghost Banners out.

"This magic weapon is called the Ten Thousand Ghost Flag, but in fact, there is not a single Yin Ghost in it, and it is not a real Ten Thousand Ghost Flag. ”

Looking at the Ten Thousand Ghost Flags, Wu Tianzhong hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "This evil sect magic weapon is one of the magic weapons that are expressly forbidden by all forces in the cultivation world, and it is best for the junior disciple not to let outsiders know that you have this kind of magic weapon on you." ”

"Hmm!"

After Chang Shan took back the Ten Thousand Ghost Flags, Wu Tianzhong said again: "Do you need to take a break?"

"No!"

"Hmm!"

Wu Tian nodded emphatically and turned his gaze to Wu Zilong.

"There are not many snakes in this ice valley, but the cold poison of snakes is very difficult to deal with. Be careful not to let the snake bite. ”

After Wu Zilong said this, he turned his head and walked forward.

After summoning the light of the Earth Yuan, Chang Shan couldn't help but be distracted and observed the Thousand Soul Snake located in the magic veins of his right arm.

As soon as Chang Shan's mind moved, the Thousand Soul Snake swam back and forth among several legal veins.

After controlling the Thousand Soul Snake and wandering among several magic veins for a while, Chang Shan found that his control over the Thousand Soul Snake was even stronger than his control over his True Yuan.

"This is called Bao to move at will! When cultivating any complicated spells in the future, using the Thousand Soul Snake to open up the magic veins will definitely greatly increase the speed of cultivating spells. ”

Just when Chang Shan was thinking wildly, he suddenly felt a pain in his right calf, and then, he felt a chill hit his whole body.

Before his body was frozen, Chang Shan saw a small white snake the thickness of his fingers disappear into the snow.

The Light of the Earth Element can indeed limit the speed of the snakes that sneak up on them, but if they walk to the edge of a snake and the snake chooses to attack closest to it, then the Light of the Earth Element can be said to be useless in defending against the sneak attack of the snake.

Shi Peng and the four of them didn't see the little white snake that attacked Chang Shan, but they noticed that Chang Shan suddenly had a strong chill on his body, and they knew that Chang Shan had been bitten by a snake.

The four of them glanced at each other, Wu Tiancong raised his hand and put it on Chang Shan's shoulder, infusing his true yuan into Chang Shan's body.

With the help of Wu Tiancong's fire attribute True Yuan, Chang Shan didn't take long to turn away the cold poison in his body.

couldn't help but shudder, Chang Shan first arched his hand at Wu Tiancong, and then smiled bitterly at Shi Peng and the others: "The snake of this ice valley also bullies the weak and fears the hard!"

Seeing that Chang Shan still had the heart to joke, Shi Peng and the four of them knew that Chang Shan was fine.

"Chang Shan, Shi Peng, the snakes here are more likely to attack you, you all be careful. After being bitten, you must quickly suppress the cold poison, and don't be frozen in place again. ”

Chang Shan also knew that he was to blame for being frozen in place just now, and when he heard Wu Zilong's words, he was not angry, but just smiled bitterly.

When he walked forward again, Chang Shan didn't dare to be distracted to observe the Thousand Soul Snake.

In this dangerous place, you can't wait for others to save you, otherwise, it is very likely that others will suffer with you.

Slowly walking more than forty zhang inside, Shi Peng and Chang Shan were attacked at the same time.

This time, none of them could dodge before the snake bit them. However, they were prepared, and when the other snakes bit them, they flew them away with their sticks.

Swept away by Shi Peng and Chang Shan's sticks, several snakes did not die immediately, and just as they were about to burrow into the snow, Wu Zilong pointed a spear on their heads and shook them to death.

Wu Zilong picked up a few dead snakes, walked to Chang Shan and Shi Peng, who had just melted away the cold on their legs, first released a shield with the Heavenly Bead Envoy to envelop the three of them, and then sent the dead snakes to the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Their snake gall can make you more resistant to cold poison." ”

Among the five people, Wu Tiancong and Wu Zilong are fire attribute physiques, Wu Tianzhong are water attribute physiques, and Chang Shan and Shi Peng are earth attribute physiques. In terms of cultivation, Chang Shan is the weakest, followed by Wu Tiancong and Shi Peng. Chang Shan and Shi Peng belong to both the people who are most vulnerable to snake attacks and the people who are the weakest resistance to cold poison.

Seeing this, Shi Peng hesitated, frowned, and learned from Chang Shan to take the two dead snakes and dig out the snake gall and eat them.

After Chang Shan and Shi Peng were attacked seven times, the five finally reached their destination.
