"I heard that Senior Long Gong is hunting a soul beast?" Xuan Ming turned to look at Senior Long Gong.
"I don't know, what kind of soul beast is that?"
"A human-faced demon spider." Lord Long did not hide anything. After all, Meng Yiran had already obtained the spirit ring and possessed precious spirit bones, so he no longer needed to chase the human-faced demon spider.
"Where did it go?" Xuan Ming asked.
Lord Long pointed to the west and said, "Over there, I just sensed the aura of this old woman, so I came over to take a look..."
"See you later." Xuan Ming called out, then pulled A Rou up and flew away.
"Hey!" Meng Yiran quickly stood up and was about to say something, but Xuan Ming had disappeared.
"Uh..." Duke Long was also a little confused.
No, so urgent?
"Yi Ran, control yourself first and put away the soul bone." Meng Shu turned around and said.
This soul bone is no ordinary treasure, not to mention that the one on Meng Yiran's body is the rarest torso bone!
"Grandpa, why didn't you stop him?" Meng Yiran said somewhat resentfully.
"He just helped me so much, and I haven't even thanked him properly yet."
"Stop? Can I stop it?" Meng Shu looked helpless.
"Didn't you see how fast he moved just now?"
At that speed, there must be something urgent. Although he could stop it, it would not be appropriate.
"Yi Ran, don't worry, he is in Tiandou City. You will have plenty of opportunities to see him in the future." Chao Tianxiang comforted.
"First, you should completely fuse this soul bone and control it well. We will find an opportunity to bring you to thank you in person."
Meng Yiran felt a little disappointed, but looking at the strange scorpion tail behind her, she knew that now was not the right time, "Okay..."
…
"What are you looking for the human-faced demon spider for?"
Under the cover of night, Xuan Ming pulled A Rou and flew quickly through the woods. In order to speed up, he directly used a little of the power of the Ice Dragon King. A layer of fine ice crystals was left in the air, sparkling in the moonlight like falling stars.
"Let's try and see if we can explode a soul bone using the method we just used." Xuan Ming said.
"The way that happened just now..." Arou looked a little unnatural.
The snake woman couldn't see the situation of the snake-scorpion beast, but she could feel it clearly.
The snake-scorpion beast was tortured by Xuan Ming to the point of collapse and wanted to commit suicide!
Sacrifice itself is also a form of suicide, except that it means willingly giving up everything you have for the other person.
The reason why the little girl was able to successfully absorb the spirit ring of the snake-scorpion beast and also absorbed the mutated torso bone was largely because the snake-scorpion beast had a strong desire to commit suicide.
Meng Yiran killed it, which in a sense was also helping it.
The snake-scorpion beast had no resentment towards Meng Yiran, and even felt a sense of gratitude. This could be considered a special sacrifice.
"Don't talk about killing and not abusing life. I have suffered a lot of abuse. I don't have such taboos." Xuan Ming said.
"Also, the soul beasts I chose are all ferocious predatory soul beasts. I have never killed any herbivores, which is quite considerate."
Arou hesitated to speak.
She used to eat grass.
"I didn't kill you, I just wanted you to sacrifice yourself. In a sense, you and I will live and die together." Xuan Ming said.
"If I succeed, you can live. If I fail, we will die together."
"Although this is forced, if you think of it as an investment, it won't be so painful."
Ah Rou looked strange, "You..."
"Stop, don't say I'm shameless. I'm just comforting you." Xuan Ming said.
"I know exactly what I am doing. Killing is killing, and threatening is threatening."
"As for my attitude towards you, I am not a psychopath. I don't have any perverted thoughts about destroying beautiful things."
"Beautiful?" Arou was stunned.
"If you two are ugly and don't meet my aesthetic standards, then I won't have any psychological burden when I take action." Xuan Ming said.
Arou's expression froze.
Do you have to be so straightforward?
After a while, Xuan Ming and the other two approached the location of the human-faced demon spider. There was an eerie atmosphere in the air, and the surrounding environment became increasingly darker. The trees twisted and tangled, as if they had been eroded by some evil force.
A rustling sound came from the woods, as if something was crawling slowly in the grass.
Xuan Ming slowly fell from the air. As soon as his feet touched the ground, before he could get any closer, a huge spider web spewed out from the darkness. The spider web was large and dense, and it spread out in the air almost instantly, like a web of death, which was about to tightly cover Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming's eyes flashed, and the white light around him instantly dissipated, and the coldness surged rapidly.
He did not hold back and froze the spider web directly in the air. At the same time, he shot out several ice crystal arrows at the human-faced demon spider, not giving it a chance to continue attacking or escape.
The cold fog instantly enveloped the forest, and the human-faced demon spider that was about to launch a sneak attack was frozen solid.
Xuan Ming walked through the bushes and came forward. The human-faced demon spider was frozen in the ice, its hideous face twisted, its eyes full of anger and unwillingness, and its eight long legs kept shaking, trying to break free from the cold bondage.
Xuan Ming didn't waste any words. His domain became heavier, and the power of ice and fire surged. The same ice and fire-tempered body of the snake-scorpion beast fell on the head of the human-faced demon spider.
Arou stood quietly aside without saying anything.
If it was any other soul beast, she would still feel sorry for it, but for a creature like the Human-Faced Demon Spider that enjoys killing and is the nightmare of smaller soul beasts, she would not have any extra thoughts.
As time passed, the struggle of the human-faced demon spider gradually slowed down, and the hideous and distorted human face no longer had any anger, but was replaced by deep fear and despair.
I want to live but can't, and I want to die but can't.
Finally, the human-faced demon spider also collapsed.
The eyes that were originally full of murderous intent were now dead silent.
whoosh!
Another ice crystal arrow shot out and ended the life of the human-faced demon spider. Immediately afterwards, a bright light rose from its body. It was a soul ring emitting a dark purple light.
At the same time, a strange soul power fluctuation emanated from the corpse of the human-faced demon spider.
"This..." Arou was stunned.
External soul bone? !
Did it really come out?
A mutated torso bone and an external soul bone exploded within one day?
What kind of luck is this?
Xuan Ming stepped forward, and raging flames emerged from the black dragon's mouth, quickly burning the body of the human-faced demon spider, leaving only a piece of soul bone that had shrunk and coiled into a block.
"Eight Spider Lance..." Xuan Ming put the exploded Eight Spider Lance into the soul guide device. Looking at the purple soul ring in front of him, he thought for a while and took out the Blood Spear.
His own soul ring could be devoured by the blood spear, so what about the soul ring that was not absorbed?
Whatever comes to mind, do it.
Xuan Ming tried it immediately, pulling the soul ring of the human-faced demon spider onto the blood spear, not absorbing it, but swallowing it.
"What are you doing?" Arou asked puzzledly.
"Don't talk." Xuan Ming concentrated his mind and activated the devouring power of the blood spear, trying to swallow the soul ring.
As time passed, Xuan Ming's face became worse and worse.
Finally, just when Xuan Ming couldn't bear it anymore and was about to stop, the dark purple soul ring of the human-faced demon spider suddenly flashed and disappeared.
"Successful?" Xuan Ming was stunned, obviously not expecting that he could actually do it.
Swallowing takes time to digest. After each swallowing, the blood and energy will be stored in a special swallowing space at the tip of the spear, slowly nourishing the blood spear.
He could sense that the soul ring of the human-faced demon spider was now within the special devouring space of the blood spear.
"You are really not picky about food. You eat even spirit rings." Xuan Ming quickly put the blood spear back.
The blood spear is really crazy now. It's okay if we don't use it. We can barely suppress it.
But once he takes it out and activates his soul power, this thing will bite him like a starving ghost.
