Chapter 808: Encounter with the Spirit Eater

PS: Thank you for your generous reward of 'Walking in the Breeze and Drizzle', thank you for your support!!

Xiaoxing's hull has multi-functional formation nodes, which can be combined into formations according to different formations, because Xiaoxing's manipulation of the body is all-round, so it can be quickly arranged, of course, at this stage, Xiaoxing's formation can be arranged is still very limited, which is also related to the strength of her soul.

The inner soul consolidation array was activated to prevent external soul power from hitting and infiltrating into the ship's body, which was one of the standard defensive formations in the combat phase, and as for the Ten Directions Soul Gathering Array, it was used to detect the fluctuation of soul power around the hull, and it did not have any killing effect when running at low power.

Fully prepared, Lin Shu also personally controlled the outer Ten Directions Soul Gathering Array, and then he waited for the detection results of the two star ants who had changed the sensors and started again.

"Lin Shu, have you discovered anything new?"

Nilaya didn't know where Lu Dao got the news, and rushed over, Lin Shu glanced at Xiaoxing, innocent Xiaoxing blinked, but Jieqian beside her secretly curled the corners of her mouth.

"Something new? Well, I'm not sure yet, I'm just guessing, but there's definitely something unknown in that void. ”

"Oh, what's going on?"

Lin Shu briefly recounted what had just happened, and at the same time replayed all the data just now, and Nilaya also came to the same conclusion as Lin Shu after reading it

"It may indeed be soul bodies, but these soul bodies don't seem to be very friendly, and they attack directly when they see the star ants. ”

Lin Shu nodded: "So." I made some preparations. We don't know anything about the other party. I don't know what the Dao is, how strong it is, how many it is, and what its purpose is, but for the time being, let's keep the distance. ”

Nilaya nodded and shook her head, "If it's a soul body, they're probably faster than you think. ”

Lin Shu shrugged his shoulders and said with a look of confidence: "No matter how fast they fly, they still have to have a goal, how do you think they perceive the outside world?"

"How much is this free soul power?"

"Hehe, this is probably the best way to use it. It's just that this kind of detection is passive and can't be carried out actively, so as long as we catch all the free soul power around us, it is impossible for the other party to detect our existence. ”

"So you opened the Ten Directions Soul Gathering Array, but you might also use an active detection technique, right?"

"Active detection can detect such a long distance, but we only discovered their existence using a communication chain. ”

Niraya smiled: "You're all thoughtful, I'm relieved, so how long will it take to encounter?"

"Little Star"

"Encounters in three minutes, if the other party is really moving forward, wait, it's already encountered, and they move faster. ”

Xiaoxing said with some surprise. In an instant, everyone in the command room was busy. All kinds of data were recorded and integrated, and soon the data was displayed on the projection, and Niraya glanced sideways at Lin Shu, who shrugged his shoulders.

"Trees, they're coming along your path. ”

"Hehe, maybe, let's see what they are, Xiaoxing, the data is directly linked to me. ”

Lin Shu said, taking over the raw data interface transmitted back from the front, and then quickly integrated all the data, the key is the other party's soul fluctuation characteristics, this requires a large range of scanning spectrum, Lin Shu's movements are much faster than Xiaoxing.

But almost for a short moment, the signal was interrupted, only the magic energy beacon and the dragon vein beacon were still working, and the data transmitted back showed that the two star ants had been sacrificed, and they were still flying along the original route towards the depths of the universe, and before long, they would fly out of the signal capture range.

"Data transfer is interrupted"

Nilaya turned her head to look at Lin Shu, but Lin Shu had a smile on his face.

"Hehe, the action is very fast, directly destroying all the soul detection magic weapons, or should I say destroy all the things that contain soul power, it looks a little ugly!"

"What is it?"

"Don't worry, let's join forces to perform a directional awakening technique, you and I are responsible for the front-end detection, you are responsible for the projection, let's see what is hiding in the dark and coveting us. ”

"Awakening: If they're devouring soul power, can they use the Awakening Technique?"

"It should be feasible, after all, awakening is the principle and resonance, and the message can be transmitted in the moment before it is swallowed. ”

"Then try it, there's no loss anyway, you won't attract them, right?"

Lin Shu smiled: "You are the strongest soul body, are you still afraid that they will not succeed?"

"Go, it's better to be careful with the unknown. ”

"Elder Niraya is right, husband, don't be careless. ”

Jessie also nodded vigorously, looking at Lin Shu with a nervous expression, Lin Shu spread his hands and said: "Okay, I'll be careful, rest assured, awakening is a large-scale resonance, without a core point, it is impossible for the other party to know where we are." ”

Jessie nodded, Lin Shu stretched out her hand, Nilaya generously handed her hand, and the two of them performed spells simultaneously, and skin contact could improve the fit.

Everyone looked back at this eye-catching scene, only to feel that their hearts trembled, a powerful fluctuation flashed away, through their bodies, spread into the distance, although the moment was short, but everyone had a sense of dizziness and obsession, that feeling was actually very comfortable, and even a little addictive.

Both of them stopped talking, and after a while, on the main projection, some blurry images appeared, some like telescopes that were not in focus, and some blurred things shook on the screen, and the speed was very fast.

But soon the image began to become clear, this is Lin Shu actively correcting the data, in fact, it is to distinguish the inherent fluctuations from the background, and then enhance the rendering, so that things like big-headed fish appear in front of everyone.

These black, bighead fish have a smooth body throughout. There are no limbs or surface structures. It's not so much the fish. It is more like some elongated water droplets, which are so numerous that they fill almost the entire picture, they seem to be swimming around in a clueless manner, and sometimes they suddenly accelerate and rush in a certain direction, some like schools of fish moving and foraging in the sea.

Lin Shu saw more than others, because many things could not be seen with their eyes, and these guys were definitely soul bodies. If you feel it with your soul, you can find more interesting things.

First of all, these guys will actually emit some soul power, instead of devouring all the soul power, they selectively devour the soul power; secondly, their wisdom is very limited, Lin Shu can only feel some very simple emotions from the soul power they exude, such as excitement, hunger, eating, not eating, pleasure, etc.; the last point is that there is no special individual existence among these guys, from the appearance. They are all about the same size, with the occasional slightly larger one being seen. However, there is no difference in behavioral characteristics.

As for their detailed structure, as well as their characteristic attributes, there is no way for the forest trees to understand them at such a distance.

After observing for a while, Lin Shu stopped the awakening technique and opened his eyes, and the content on the projection also became a real-space projection of the direction of the residence again.

Everyone looked at Lin Shu curiously, waiting for him to summarize the results of this spell.

"This is indeed a group of soul creatures, and there are a lot of them, at least hundreds of millions of individuals, they have a very low IQ, basically about the same as fish, they are devouring the soul power, not all the soul power, but the ones they think can be eaten. At a certain point of growth, it is likely that individuals who are too big will divide like cells, well, basically how can you grasp these now, according to this information, they are not very threatening, of course, in the case of preparation. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, after all, the death of those star ants just now was too weird, which scared everyone, sailing in this dangerous universe, everyone will try to raise the danger of unknown things as much as possible, which is also a very troublesome problem for long-term space activities, so that in a highly tense environment for a long time, people's mental pressure is indeed very great. Therefore, Lin Shu brought his family members on the spaceship, in order to relieve these hidden pressures.

"A group of soul bodies with low IQ, husband, this is a little strange, the soul body should be the higher the IQ, the greater the intensity, the easier it is to exist independently in the material world, right?"

"Yes, that's the law of active existence, but it's likely that these souls are not active, but passive. ”

"What do you mean to be passive?"

Niraya smiled and interjected, "It is a soul body that is naturally formed in a special environment, such as the high-density soul energy in the Dragon's Lair Array, which may form a soul body. ”

"Huh, really?"

"Really, but the conditions for formation are very harsh, maybe there are millions of dragon nest arrays, and after 180,000 years, there will be a chance to appear. ”

Lin Shu explained with a smile, and Jessie sighed in disappointment: "Oh, what about these guys?"

"I don't know the way, the cause is not easy to say, it may be an extreme situation, a large amount of soul energy is gathered, and these soul energy happens to come from some low-level life forms, the soul power that should have dissipated is protected by a special environment, and then the soul body slowly grows and adapts, and after they adapt to survive in the material world, it becomes what it is now. Or maybe there was only one at first, and then it split into a lot of them. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and at the same time, they all sighed a little, the universe is really amazing, this may be the most attractive part of space exploration, there is always something strange hidden somewhere, waiting for you to discover, so that your life will always be full of expectations and surprises, of course, and fright.

"Oh, I see, what are we going to do with these guys?

Nilaya nodded naturally, "Of course, it's better to destroy such dangerous things, in case they touch other lives, it will be a disaster." ”

Jessie thought about it, nodded and agreed with Nilaya's statement, and then turned to Lin Shu, but saw that Lin Shu was squinting his eyes and thinking about something, Jessie knew that her husband was having some strange idea again. (To be continued......)
