Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

“Is it no longer limited to using mouthparts to absorb and devour energy?”

Chapter 424: The Value of the Sand Demon Worm

Xu Yuan quickly retreated, watching the dark green carapace on the back of the 100,000-year Sand Demon Worm rapidly turn black.

He cancelled his Qi and Blood Dharma Image.

“The 100,000-year Sand Demon Worm's ability to devour energy has actually evolved to such an extent!”

Xu Yuan's expression at this moment could be described as extremely serious.

At the same time, after witnessing the Sand Demon Worm's effect on devouring his Qi and Blood power, a thought suddenly arose in his mind.

“If this Sand Demon Worm is targeting Abyss creatures, is there a chance it can completely devour the Abyss's energy?”

The Sand Demon Worm is a unique type of Soul Beast in the Western Great Desert. With the expansion of this desert, it has gradually entered the field of vision of human Soul Masters.

And the expansion of the Western Great Desert has only appeared in the last few thousand years.

“Not far ahead, the Blazing Fire Basin is the last human settlement before entering the Blood God Legion. This Western Great Desert is also where the Abyss passage is located.”

Xu Yuan could only sigh at this moment.

The ancients did not deceive me.

Within a hundred steps of a poisonous substance, there must be an antidote.

Xu Yuan couldn't be sure whether the Sand Demon Worm's ability could truly perfectly devour the energy of Abyss creatures, but he could be sure that the Sand Demon Worm's ability mechanism was a perfect template for devouring the energy of Abyss creatures.

“Transformation, absorption.”

The so-called devouring has also been perfectly divided into two stages by the Sand Demon Worm.

Since the 100,000-year Sand Demon Worm is no longer limited to devouring energy with its mouthparts, Xu Yuan naturally wouldn't let the Qi and Blood power form that layer of Dharma Image on the outermost periphery. Not only the Dharma Image, but even the Qi and Blood Armor was not maintained at this moment.

Battle Armor and Mecha Armor firmly enveloped Xu Yuan, and a layer of energy shield faintly appeared outside the two layers of armor.

“What the Sand Demon Worm's devouring ability fears most should be the quality of energy.”

The Sand Demon Worm's juice can transform matter into energy suitable for them to devour. Similarly, if they encounter an energy body, their juice can also transform the energy body into energy suitable for them to devour.

It seems that energy bodies are more restrained by their ability, but in reality, they are only restrained under normal circumstances.

To resist the Sand Demon Worm's erosion, you only need to increase the grade of energy to effectively resist its transformation ability.

Perhaps it cannot be completely offset.

But it will not cause all the energy protection to be corroded in an instant.

This is also a major flaw in the Sand Demon Worm's devouring ability.

However, even with such a flaw, its mechanism is still meaningful.

The quality of Abyss energy goes without saying, but it is still energy after all.

Even if the erosion is slow, it is still erosion.

As long as it can erode, that is, transform the Abyss's energy into another form suitable for its own absorption, then the slow speed is still acceptable.

“The recovery speed of the carapace is really fast.” Xu Yuan was also secretly shocked as he watched the carapace that had been smashed by him quickly recover.

This is all thanks to his Qi and Blood power.

“I can't continue to fight him.”

Originally, being intercepted halfway, Xu Yuan wanted to rely on brute force to solve this guy and enjoy the爽感 of fist-to-flesh combat.

Now that this thing is so unreasonable, Xu Yuan doesn't need to waste time with it.

“Dreamland!”

The Dreamland descended, Xu Yuan's mental power covered the Sand Demon Worm, quickly found its spiritual body, and pulled it into the Dreamland.

The huge corpse of the Sand Demon Worm fell heavily to the ground, and the surrounding small Sand Demon Worms scattered and fled. Losing their backbone, they no longer dared to attack Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan slowly stepped forward.

The energy of heaven and earth surged.

Blood-red energy gathered to form a soul ring.

An artistic conception with a strong devouring power erupted from the soul ring.

Xu Yuan rummaged through the storage soul tool for a long time, and finally found a multi-functional soul tool with the function of storing soul rings.

Activating the soul tool, the blood-red soul ring was drawn by a force, quickly shrinking and merging into the disc in Xu Yuan's hand, forming a blood-red soul ring pattern on the disc.

It's still a 100,000-year soul ring, so it can't be wasted.

This Sand Demon Worm's ability is suitable for Xu Yuan, possessing a devouring mechanism, but unfortunately, what Xu Yuan needs the devouring ability for is the Tianyuan Five Elements Spear Martial Soul, and the Tianyuan Five Elements Spear Martial Soul does not need external soul rings.

Under the premise that Xu Yuan himself can't use it, this Sand Demon Worm's soul ring can naturally only be left to other people in the Shrek Inner Court.

Perhaps there are not many with devouring attributes, but there are many suitable for devouring attributes.

Yuanen Yehui may be able to use the mechanism of this Sand Demon Worm to obtain the ability to transform the target into the energy of the Demon Plane, creating the most suitable environment for her to fight and continuously provide her with endurance.

Wu Siduo also has the opportunity to transform Nether-type power.

Of course, these possibilities are not great and require luck to obtain.

After all, this is a reliance and transformation of the mechanism, not a simple inheritance of the Sand Demon Worm's ability.

This type of soul skill is also the rarest, most difficult to artificially intervene, and requires gambling on luck.

In addition to these two, there is also Xu Lizhi.

Xu Lizhi's Baozi Martial Soul is indeed very compatible with the mechanism of this Sand Demon Worm.

Turning the enemy's energy into meat filling and incorporating it into the buns to replenish his own energy is quite reasonable to think about.

In fact, besides these three, there is another person in the Shrek Seven Monsters who is suitable.

Xu Yuan doesn't know Fang Yuan's Martial Soul mechanism, so he didn't think of it at this moment.

Fang Yuan's Town God Stele's current talent ability is very suitable for the Sand Demon Worm's mechanism. Even if he can't obtain a direct soul skill, merely the attachment of the Sand Demon Worm's soul ring can passively strengthen his Martial Soul talent ability.

After putting away the soul ring, Xu Yuan didn't waste the corpse of this 100,000-year Sand Demon Worm.

He put away the corpse of the Sand Demon Worm.

In order to prevent the juice inside from reacting with the corpse after the corpse lost its vitality, Xu Yuan extracted the juice inside and stored it separately.

“Not far ahead is the Blazing Fire Basin.”

Xu Yuan looked up ahead.

In the distant sky, several black dots flickered.

Some soul masters near the Blazing Basin had already sensed the energy fluctuations and were rushing over.

Xu Yuan had no intention of interacting with these soul masters. The armor on his body transformed into a mecha, and he controlled it, circling around to reach the Blazing Basin.

He was eager to find the Blood God Legion and then make contact with the abyssal creatures, dripping the juice of the sand demon worm onto them.

At that time, he would be able to determine whether the juice of the sand demon worm was effective against abyssal energy.

If it was useful at all...

"Perhaps the root cause of the Western Desert's expansion could also be solved incidentally."

These sand demon worms were basically inexhaustible and reproduced extremely quickly. If one was not careful, they might even end up providing energy to them. Therefore, the Federation had never organized a truly large-scale cleanup operation of the sand demon worms inside the Western Desert.

The cost-effectiveness was too low.

However, what if the juice of the sand demon worm could be used to counteract the problem of abyssal energy reflux?

"Thinking too much is useless. Everything still depends on the actual effect."

Chapter 425: Blood God Legion

Although he was eager to verify the effect of the sand demon worm juice, Xu Yuan patiently rested in the Blazing Basin for a day.

There was no other way; he himself was somewhat exhausted from flying all the way.

Especially after the recent battle, which had taken a toll. The sand demon worm had truly devoured a large amount of Xu Yuan's blood energy rapidly.

Moreover, Xu Yuan himself was not without confidence in devouring abyssal energy. Even if the sand demon worm juice was useful, it would not have much substantial effect on Xu Yuan himself. It would be of greater significance to the Blood God Legion, which was responsible for fighting against the abyss.

Departing from the Blazing Basin, Xu Yuan piloted the mecha towards the Endless Mountains not far away.

After flying for half a day, the scenery of the Endless Mountains also shocked Xu Yuan.

It was a continuous, boundless range of snow-white peaks.

Clearly, not far away was the Blazing Basin, one of the hottest regions on Douluo Star, yet the Heavenly Mountains seemed to be in the dead of winter. The mountains, from halfway up, were covered in snow, and even the peaks seemed to be carved from ice.

Reaching the outskirts of the Endless Mountains, Xu Yuan controlled the mecha to land on the ground.

According to the rules of the Blood God Legion, every soul master who came here, even if they were a flying soul master, had to walk this road on foot. At least, they had to have the perseverance and belief to walk this road in order to endure the life of the Blood God Legion and truly shoulder the mission of the Blood God Legion.

Since it was a rule, Xu Yuan didn't need to break it.

The light dissipated, revealing Xu Yuan's true form.

He was dressed in casual clothes and didn't put on anything too heavy.

His blood energy was like a furnace, resisting the severe cold of the Endless Mountains for him.

Three days later.

Xu Yuan arrived at his destination.

Climbing the final snow mountain, the other side of the snow mountain's summit was a boundless snowfield. Barracks were densely packed on the snowfield, not small in scale, and there were sentry posts around. Because they were covered in snow, it was impossible to see the material of these buildings.

When Xu Yuan reached the summit, the Blood God Legion also reacted.

In fact, when Xu Yuan stepped into the Endless Mountains, the Blood God Legion's equipment had detected his presence. The immense blood energy, without any attempt to conceal it, was like a huge energy source, making it difficult not to notice.

During these three days, the Blood God Legion had also been paying attention to Xu Yuan.

At this moment, Xu Yuan reached the summit, and in front of him, a patch of seemingly ordinary snow stirred, and heads popped out. Four fully armed soul masters, wearing heavy white clothes, pointed their guns at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan didn't react defensively, raised his hand, and said to the four: "I'm here to report."

Four white-clad soldiers stepped forward, checked him over, confirmed that Xu Yuan had no weapons on him, and then one of the soldiers opened his helmet and uttered three words.

"Letter of recommendation."

Xu Yuan took out the letter of recommendation from his storage soul tool.

This was a letter made of silver-white metal, with a snow-white bird imprinted on the metal. The bird was very handsome, a bit like an eagle, but larger and more majestic.

This was the Snow God Condor, the guardian of the snow mountain and the symbol of the Blood God Legion.

After the soldier checked Xu Yuan's letter of recommendation, he suddenly stood at attention and gave him a military salute. Unlike normal Federation soldiers, the salute here was to clench the right hand and strike the chest, very forcefully.

Xu Yuan followed the soldier's example and raised his right hand to strike his chest, making a thumping sound.

"Follow me."

The soldier turned and strode towards the distant barracks.

Xu Yuan quickly followed.

The other three soldiers retreated back into the snow, performing their daily tasks.

The soldier led Xu Yuan to the barracks. The snow here had clearly been cleared, finally revealing a bit of hard ground. Shaking off the snow on their bodies, the two quickly walked into the barracks.

Inside the barracks, everything was in good order. The soldier led Xu Yuan through the barracks and came to a building. He pressed his palm on the side of the building, and a light scanned his body. The metal door in front of Xu Yuan also opened.

"Follow me."

The soldier's words were very concise, and from beginning to end, whether speaking or acting, he was neat and efficient.

Walking into the building, a warm current rushed towards them.

After being in the harsh environment outside for a long time, suddenly being hit by such a heatwave, even Xu Yuan felt as if his limbs were being ironed, an unspeakable comfort.

The soldier looked back at Xu Yuan, took off his helmet, and made one's eyes light up.

This soldier was actually a woman.

The woman had long brown hair and looked about twenty-five or six years old, very tall.
