Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain
#58 - Section 58
Having experienced the baptism of long years, the will of soul beasts is generally more resilient and pure than that of humans. Their instinctive resistance is always a full-force resistance.
The entire process took no more than thirty seconds.
The dreamscape was dispelled.
Of the four Titan Snow Monkeys, only the one from which Na'er was continuously drawing life force had died. The other three were still alive.
Even with two or three large holes pierced through their chests and the chaotic power of the five elements exploding within, they had not lost their lives.
"Roar!"
Three angry roars erupted simultaneously, and the thumping of heartbeats echoed from the holes in their chests.
Their hearts were still beating powerfully.
It was simply terrifying.
"Na'er, I'll trap them for another ten seconds!" Xu Yuan gritted his teeth and said.
Now, they could only revert to the original plan.
First, they would try their best to kill three and severely injure one, then focus on recovery.
At the very least, they needed to restore their soul power to its peak as much as possible.
Chapter 93: Tacit Coordination
The battle in this level had already been going on for almost a minute.
Xu Yuan had exerted himself to cast Dreamscape three times: the first time controlling four Titan Snow Monkeys for thirty seconds, the second time controlling three Titan Snow Monkeys for ten seconds, and the third time controlling two Titan Snow Monkeys for ten seconds.
Na'er had been using the Silver Dragon Spear to devour the Titan Snow Monkeys' life force the entire time, stabbing the spearhead fiercely into their chests, and had only barely managed to kill three Titan Snow Monkeys.
Keep in mind, this was with the Titan Snow Monkeys standing there and taking the beating!
As for Xu Yuan?
If Xu Yuan were to bombard them with the power of the five elements, it was estimated that the efficiency would be even lower. Although his five-element bombardment could affect the Titan Snow Monkeys' internal organs, its weakening effect on their life force was clearly not as fast as Na'er's direct extraction of life force.
After three uses of Dreamscape, Xu Yuan's mental power was more than half depleted.
The first time was the most burdensome. The subsequent two times were easier, but not by much. The physical pain made their will to resist even stronger.
"Recover soul power with all your strength!"
Xu Yuan had Na'er help restrain the last severely injured Titan Snow Monkey, while he himself began to recover his soul power with all his strength.
The ten-thousand-year soul beast in the next level should be easier to deal with than this one. At that time, even without using Dreamscape, the two of them working together should still have a chance to kill it.
Mental power could be recovered in the next level.
As for Na'er's condition?
Although she had erupted three times, she had been absorbing life force the entire time. Even though the Titan Snow Monkeys were energy projections, she had still devoured a lot of energy, making up for her consumption.
The life force of the first three Titan Snow Monkeys had not been completely extracted, but the life force in their heart areas was completely depleted, which was what finally killed them.
Now, as Na'er dealt with the only surviving Titan Snow Monkey, she would use the Silver Dragon Spear to draw its life force whenever her own consumption became too great.
The Titan Snow Monkey's overall life force was extremely vast.
Without completely plunging the Silver Dragon Spear into its chest to draw life force, Na'er was able to fight and absorb life force at the same time without losing any condition.
Xu Yuan's mouth twitched when he occasionally observed the battle situation.
He had been careless.
In the future, when encountering this kind of big guy with abnormal life force, the position of main DPS should be directly handed over to Na'er.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
Xu Yuan's soul power had recovered to ninety percent. It wasn't at its peak, but it wasn't far off.
Before the electronic voice sounded, Na'er killed the fourth Titan Snow Monkey, replenishing her last wave of condition and bringing her soul power to its peak.
Apart from looking slightly tired, her condition was full.
"Soul Spirit Tower, eighteenth level, cleared. You may choose to absorb the soul spirit: Nine-thousand-year Titan Snow Monkey. Make your choice within ten seconds," the electronic voice announced.
Xu Yuan didn't expect that the reward for this level would be the Titan Snow Monkey's soul spirit.
According to the normal soul master's process, reaching this level and passing it would grant a ten-thousand-year soul spirit. However, in order to obtain a ten-thousand-year soul spirit, one had to take the risk of enduring for ten minutes in the terrifying environment of four Titan Snow Monkeys.
They didn't even require you to kill the Titan Snow Monkeys; as long as you endured for ten minutes, you could obtain the soul spirit of a nine-thousand-year Titan Snow Monkey.
This was already a different kind of persuasion.
Neither of them would choose this nine-thousand-year Titan Snow Monkey.
However, this time, the two of them were rarely hesitant.
Xu Yuan was still sitting cross-legged in place, recovering.
After ten seconds, the electronic voice began to urge them. After half a minute, it was already prompting them to enter the next level, otherwise it would be considered a forfeiture of continuing to climb the tower.
Helpless, Xu Yuan could only get up and step into the light gate with Na'er.
In this level, only one metal door was opened.
A slender, blurred figure walked out from within.
"Illusion Spirit Fox, skilled in illusions. I'll link our minds. As long as we're not hit by its illusions at the same time, we'll be fine."
Xu Yuan's tone was calm.
This could be considered good news.
Because his mental power had reached the Spirit Abyss Realm, his resistance to illusions was extremely high. Moreover, he had the Brain martial soul and Yao Yao's assistance. It was impossible for the Illusion Spirit Fox to pull him into any illusion, and even wanting to confuse him for even a moment would require it to exert its full illusionary power.
Under these circumstances, as long as Na'er noticed it in the first moment and attacked the Illusion Spirit Fox, it would be a chance for a one-hit kill.
If Na'er were pulled into an illusion, Xu Yuan could help her escape through the mental link in the first moment.
The Illusion Spirit Fox's most proficient illusion was directly broken by the two of them.
That's why it was good news.
"Try to drag this battle out as long as possible. I'll recover my mental power."
Xu Yuan's mental power had already reached the Spirit Abyss Realm, as deep and vast as a prison. Its recovery speed was already astonishing.
Under normal circumstances, mental power that had reached the Spirit Abyss Realm would rarely show signs of being insufficient in battle, not only because the amount of mental power was vast, but also because the recovery speed was astonishing. Even without deliberately circulating it, it could have an extremely high recovery speed.
The reason why the consumption was so great was because the previous Titan Snow Monkeys were too buggy.
Although they haven't reached ten thousand years, their inherent strength has, even to the point where a single one could rival a fifty-thousand-year soul beast. Their biggest drawbacks are their clumsiness and slightly weaker mental strength. However, this slight weakness in mental strength is only really noticeable when facing a mental-attribute soul master like Xu Yuan.
Even with that weakness, it's still on par with other ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
The Spirit Abyss Realm, like an abyss or a prison, can only hold a maximum of five black soul spirits. In contrast, Xu Yuan instantly pulled the complete spiritual will of four Titan Snow Monkeys into the dreamscape, sealing them off for a full half-minute.
The cost, of course, was enormous.
Normally, a soul beast under ten thousand years and one that is ten thousand years old are worlds apart.
If it were four non-ten-thousand-year soul beasts, Xu Yuan could easily pull them into the dreamscape, as long as they weren't mental-attribute soul beasts like the Three-Eyed Devil Ape.
If those four Titan Snow Monkeys truly matured and reached the ten-thousand-year level, their mental strength would probably skyrocket, and Xu Yuan wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Na'er!"
Xu Yuan called out in his mind.
This Illusion Spirit Fox still chose to launch a full-force illusion attack on Xu Yuan.
The battle had lasted for over half an hour. Every time it launched an illusion on Xu Yuan, it had no effect, but when it succeeded on Na'er, a mental fluctuation would always come from Xu Yuan's side, instantly restoring Na'er.
The Illusion Spirit Fox already possessed rudimentary intelligence. Being a mental-attribute creature, it was extremely intelligent and had analyzed a way to break the situation.
The only breakthrough point was Xu Yuan.
By confusing Xu Yuan, preventing him from helping Na'er escape the illusion in the first instance, it could connect two well-timed illusions to capture them both.
However, ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh.
After the Illusion Spirit Fox launched a full-force illusion, there was always an interval before it could launch another one.
But Na'er immediately sensed that Xu Yuan had fallen into an illusion through their mental link.
The greatest use of the mental link at this moment was to sense the state of teammates.
It had launched a full-force illusion, leaving it in its weakest state.
The old strength was gone, and the new strength hadn't yet arisen.
Na'er immediately tapped her toes on the ground, floated in front of the Illusion Spirit Fox, and thrust out her spear.
"Spirit Transfer Pagoda, Level 19, passed. You may choose to absorb the soul spirit: Ten-Thousand-Year Illusion Spirit Fox. Make your choice within ten seconds."
Chapter 94: Xu Yuan's Choice
The Illusion Spirit Fox was actually quite suitable for Xu Yuan.
His martial soul was the brain, and the Illusion Spirit Fox itself was a mental attribute. They were compatible in terms of attributes, and it was also skilled in illusions, which meant that the Illusion Spirit Fox's thinking ability and the extent to which it could develop the brain in feedback to the brain martial soul would be considerable.
Unfortunately, Xu Yuan already had Yao Yao in this regard.
Choosing the Illusion Spirit Fox again would be somewhat redundant.
Na'er looked at Xu Yuan's expression and knew that he didn't intend to choose this Illusion Spirit Fox.
Silently waiting for half a minute, the two stepped into the light gate.
The twentieth level.
Again, it was a soul beast.
Ten-Thousand-Year Thorn Dragon!
It was an extremely rare type of dragon soul beast, possessing a rich dragon bloodline. Although it was a pseudo-dragon bloodline, because it possessed space attributes, its true rarity and value were in no way inferior to soul beasts with true dragon bloodlines.
"Na'er, what about this Thorn Dragon?"
Xu Yuan asked Na'er beside him.
Na'er didn't take long to think. The metal door was almost completely open.
"Leave this Thorn Dragon to me. I'll fight him one-on-one, and then kill him. I'll choose his soul spirit!"
After hearing this, Xu Yuan slowly retreated, giving Na'er the opportunity to fight.
Xu Yuan wasn't sure if Na'er could handle other ten-thousand-year soul beasts, but as long as it was a dragon-type soul beast, Xu Yuan was sure Na'er wouldn't have too much trouble.
The space attribute of the Ten-Thousand-Year Thorn Dragon was very difficult to deal with.
It already possessed exaggerated speed and strong attack power. Coupled with its elusive space attribute, its thrusting ability was too terrifying.
Fortunately, Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear itself came from the Silver Dragon King, which had a bloodline suppression over the Thorn Dragon. After tangling for a while, Na'er verbally subdued the Thorn Dragon.
That's right, verbally subdued.
The Ten-Thousand-Year Thorn Dragon turned into a ball of energy, condensed into a soul spirit form, and floated in front of Na'er.
Xu Yuan was speechless at this scene.
This was the consequence of bloodline suppression.
The hierarchy of bloodlines was vividly demonstrated at this moment.
At the same time, he was also alert in his heart, warning himself not to try to devour and fuse Tang Wulin's bloodline power before ensuring that the Golden Dragon King's bloodline was completely removed from Tang Wulin's blood.
Fortunately, he wasn't just seeking to devour Tang Wulin's blood power now. Rather than saying that Xu Yuan's current goal was to find a harmless way to devour Tang Wulin's blood power, it was more accurate to say that he was simply using Tang Wulin's bloodline power to conduct research.
Researching the essence of blood was also a form of cultivation.
Especially Tang Wulin's high-quality blood, which was of great significance for research.
In the past year, Xu Yuan also took the time to go to Heaven Dou City twice to collect the blood power of Mu Ye and Zhen Hua.
Powerful blood, and blood fused with powerful bloodlines. With different blood comparisons, Xu Yuan's research progress was also getting faster and faster. His understanding of blood power also made him more and more handy in perfecting the fusion secret technique.
"Reaching ten thousand years, you should also have a certain amount of wisdom, and you don't know how many years you have been in this soul spirit tower. You should be able to communicate with us normally."
Xu Yuan looked at the soul spirit of the Ten-Thousand-Year Thorn Dragon.
"You should be able to make a preliminary contract with Na'er first, and then enter Na'er's sea of spirit to sleep, and then fuse when you need to fuse, right?"
