Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 562 Capturing Dead Souls
Just when they came to the ghost world, the appearance of the ghost general Wuxiang gave them a big blow, but since there is no turning back, no matter how dangerous the front is, everyone can only bite the bullet and go on.

Another point, Ye Shuo has reminded them before that not all dead souls are suitable for filling Jia Luo's soul, the replacement must match Jia Luo's birth date and spirit root attribute.But even so, it does not mean that it will be absolutely successful.To be on the safe side, it's best to catch a few more spares at the beginning.

"Gara, when is your birthday?"

Jia Luo hesitated for a moment, and replied: "March [-]th, Bingchen Year, Yinshi. Heavenly Spiritual Root."

Ye Shuo nodded, his eyes hurriedly swept across the many dead souls wandering in the street, the soul master's perception was fully dispersed, and he quickly raised his hand to point out one by one: "The one that matches, did you see it? And the one over there , and that..." In just one short street, there were four or five dead souls who were compatible with Jia Luo.

Xu Yuan smacked his lips and sighed: "I always thought that the birth date and spiritual root attributes are required to be exactly the same, such a harsh condition, we just turned the ghost world over, and it would be good if we could find one or two suitable ones. I didn't expect this to be such a good start..." As he spoke, he patted Jia Luo's shoulder jokingly: "Ga Luo, it seems that you really had a good time!"

The initial task assignment was that Xu Yuan and Gongsun Zhiqi opened the soul-detaining bag, Jia Luo and Ye Jingyan looked after the wind, and Ye Shuo held the soul-fixing pearl to look for suitable prey.

"Well, these dead souls could have been reincarnated after getting rid of their obsessions, but now we have to use them to fill up their souls. Doing this...is it a disservice?" Lifting his posture, and with some sore arms, he asked muffledly.

Ye Shuo didn't want to pay attention to this untimely kindness.When he really steps into society alone, he will know that there are many more cruel things than this. It is completely unrealistic to talk about saving the world before he is able to protect himself.

But considering this issue, Gongsun Zhiqi and Jia Luo showed hesitation one after another.After all, they are still students who have just graduated, and their understanding of the world is still at the college stage, stuck in the concepts of those books. It is obviously not so easy for them to understand the jungle at once.

"So, do you see that those dead souls can be divided into black and white? Let's catch the black ones." In order to dispel the guilt of several people, Ye Shuo still made a certain balance.

"Souls with obsessions have both good and bad obsessions. Assuming that the white dead souls are thinking about their relatives in the world, the black dead souls are just obsessed with revenge. The reason why the soul will be killed They are dyed black because of the karma they left behind. We don’t need to show kindness to evil spirits like that.”

"But will the karma entangled on them harm Jia Luo's soul?" Gongsun Zhiqi half understood, but she still thought about Jia Luo first.

Ye Shuo reassured, "It's okay, before formally injecting the dead souls into Jia Luo's body, I will cleanse the hostility from them. This is a unique method for soul masters."

With this said, everyone accepted it hesitantly, only Xu Yuan sighed: "It is not easy to find a few suitable ones, but this time we can only catch black ones, our task is much more difficult!"

"Okay, don't talk so much, let's start!" Gongsun Zhiqi interrupted him, urging hurriedly.

It has been more than half an hour since everyone waited, but the wandering route of the dead souls from the outside world always lingers in the middle of the street, passing by the patrolling ghost soldiers from time to time.Since they were not close to the entrance of the alley, it was difficult for Ye Shuo and others who were ambushing in the secret passage to attack.If we continue to wait like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch one until dawn.

"Although they are not conscious, they still know how to follow the crowd." Jia Luo sighed softly, looking at the dead souls all over the street.

Xu Yuan lowered his pocket in disappointment: "If they don't come here, we won't keep waiting!" Thinking of this, he turned his head, "Brother Ye, do you know of a way to actively attract dead souls? came here?"

Ye Shuo smiled wryly, they really regarded themselves as encyclopedias.I don't even think about it, if I really have a way, do I still need to wait here?

"I remember, there seems to be a kind of Nether Grass, the smell of which can attract dead souls to approach." Ye Jingyan said suddenly, "However, it is said that this kind of grass is only found in Wangchuan, which is the center of reincarnation. It will be as slack as here, you think about it, do you really want to take this risk?"

"Nether Grass? Is it this?" Ye Shuo took out a blue grass stem from his bosom with an inexplicable expression when everyone was at a loss and was almost determined to break into the River of Forgetfulness.

The grass exudes a layer of icy blue light, and small purple and white flowers bloom on the top. The fragrance is elegant, but there is always a ghostly aura between the flowers and leaves, which can't go away.

When Ye Jingyan saw it, she exclaimed: "That's right, it's it! You...how could you have it?" But it's a good thing not to rush into Wangchuan, and everyone's tense expressions relaxed a lot .

Gongsun Zhiqi probed curiously, stretched out a finger to fiddle with the flowers, and then shook the stem of the grass, "It's nothing special."

Ye Jingyan also squatted down next to Ye Shuo, stroking the white flowers, and explained to everyone: "This kind of grass is opposite to the other side of the flower, and it grows on the other side of the River of Forgetfulness. Dead souls have obsessions. They don't want to reincarnate, so they instinctively reject the Bianhua. They think that as long as they follow the smell of the Nether Grass, they can stay away from Wangchuan."

Her voice became softer and her eyelids drooped, as if she had thought of something unspeakable at this moment, "But how would they know that it was just a false temptation. Let them see it, but they will never catch it." I can't stop, and then unconsciously, I sink deeper and deeper... In the end, once all the souls enter, it is impossible to escape from this ghost world."

This anecdote made everyone feel deeply moved.Although they want to know why Ye Jingyan knows so much about the ghost world, if she has her own difficulties, they will certainly not force her to be friends.

After a while, Jia Luo turned to Ye Shuo: "Since this is something from the ghost world, where did you get it from?" Transferred over.

Ye Shuo played with Nether Grass with a half-smile: "As long as there is money to be made, what can't be traded between the two worlds? At most, it's just a little more filial piety to the supervisory officials. Anyway, this is just a black area for business, Without blatantly violating the non-aggression pact."

This Nether Grass was bought at a medicinal herb shop when he was looking for materials to restore Shifang Killing Puppet in Tianji Kingdom.According to the owner of the pharmacy, this herb has a very strong yin energy, and for those who practice dark-attribute exercises, using it to assist in their cultivation will have a multiplier effect.

Coincidentally, I am a soul master, and this kind of grass is also effective in enhancing my soul power.Since the price was not too expensive, Ye Shuo just bought some.I didn't expect that after entering the ghost world, it would be useful unexpectedly.

Gongsun Zhiqi curled her lips: "In order to make money, you have to make a fortune from any channel. Isn't this the same as corrupt officials in the world? If that's the case, I think it's better to be that ghost general Wuxiang. At least, he's stern and selfless." !"

"Yes, yes, the most important thing is to be handsome enough." Ye Jingyan smiled and patted Gongsun Zhiqi on the head, "Okay, don't talk so much, let's start quickly."

The nether grass's attraction to dead souls also needs to be within a certain distance to be effective, otherwise they still can't sense it.However, at least its effective range is much larger than that of the fixed soul orb. Ye Shuo holds the Nether Grass in his hand, and his eyes follow the patrol route of the ghost soldiers all the time. He must find an appropriate time to attract the dead souls!

The opportunity finally came during his constant waiting. The two nearby ghost soldiers patrolled in different directions. A black dead ghost followed a ghost soldier erratically, and turned a corner unconsciously on the way. Attached to the back of another ghost soldier.The ghost soldier on the opposite side just turned his back, and the ghost soldier farther away formed a dead angle with the target.

Ye Shuo's soul perception network quickly opened up, capturing every ghost soldier on the long street. The only chance is this moment. Under everyone's horrified gaze, Ye Shuo has shot out of the lane like an arrow, shooting the Nether Grass towards him. Seeing the closest dead soul protrude suddenly, not daring to delay, the body quickly shrank back.

The dead soul was still erratic at first, and Ye Shuo was almost worried that the legend of the Nether Grass was not believable, but soon, the dead soul turned around lightly as if attracted, and followed the place where the fragrance radiated, Slowly groped all the way over.

Ye Shuo poked half of the Nether Grass out of the alley, using spiritual power to stimulate it, and also stimulated the originally elegant fragrance to the fullest.Soon, the dead soul slowly floated into the alley without all the ghost soldiers noticing.

Ye Shuo was overjoyed, and waved to everyone, and the Soul-fixing pearl quickly stuck to the forehead of the dead soul.Taking advantage of its short stature, Xu Yuan and Gongsun Zhiqi opened the pockets from behind and jumped down.

The first dead soul was successfully captured!

Although the first battle was a complete victory, after eliminating the white dead souls, there were only three qualified ones left.Except for the one who was just caught, the range of activities of the other two is far away from them. One is wandering opposite, and the other is always wandering around the street corner.No matter which one you want to catch, you have to at least cross the long street first.

"Brother Ye, can you see if this works?" Xu Yuan's thoughts began to run wild again, "Let's leave a petal of the Nether Grass on the dead soul, and then use the method of a soul master to manipulate it to find other companions." .If that’s the case, don’t you bring them here?”

Ye Shuo was really emotional at first, but he quickly shook his head: "But if this is the case, the dead souls who are not the target will also be attracted by the fragrance of the Nether Grass. If there are too many dead souls on the street at the same time, If they gather in the same direction, those ghost soldiers will definitely be alerted. Let’s think of other ways.”

Gongsun Zhiqi has been playing with the dead soul since just now, and suddenly exclaimed: "Look, this dead soul is like clothes, it can be worn!"

In front of everyone, she put one arm into the body of the dead soul, and then held up her arm and shook it in all directions.All that other people could see was really only the coat of the dead soul, as if the arms were wrapped in the sleeves.

Jia Luo was worried that the yin energy of this dead soul would be harmful to Gongsun Zhiqi, and just wanted her to stop playing, but Ye Shuo had a flash of inspiration when he saw the scene in front of him.

"It's not possible to wear it." After carefully sensing the soul breaths of both parties, Ye Shuo quickly came to a conclusion, "It's just that dead souls have strong obsessions, so their breath is heavier than ordinary ghosts." .When your spiritual body merges with it, it can cover the yang energy on your body."

Seeing that everyone was at a loss, he explained in detail: "As for the soul body, we don't actually 'see' them with our eyes, but 'perceive' their existence based on their breath. Mortal soul perception has not yet is fully developed so that, except for a few born psychics, most people cannot see ghosts.

When two souls are fused together, the one with strong yin will cover up the breath of the other, just like putting two sachets in front of you, the one with a strong smell will naturally cover the smell of the other, It's all the same.If you don't deliberately distinguish, you usually can't feel this subtle difference.It's just that most souls will never fuse together for no reason, that's all. "

"That said," Xu Yuan became excited again, "As long as we catch a few more and dress them up as dead souls, can't we go out on the street? Since it's just to cover up the breath, there's no need to consider the date of birth." It's a horoscope!"

Although this method sounds a bit absurd and quite risky, it's really not a problem to wait like this all the time. In the end, Ye Shuo weighed the pros and cons and could only agree to give it a try. "In this case, we have four people left, that is to say, we have to catch four more dead souls..."

"You don't have to count me in." Ye Jingyan shook her head with a smile, "I'm different from you. I'm originally a ghost body, which matches the attributes of this ghost world. As for my own breath, I have to imitate it like a dead soul. It's exactly the same, and it's not a problem for me." As she spoke, a thick layer of yin qi lingered around her, comparable to the other dead soul beside her.

Ye Shuo looked at Ye Jingyan, he didn't ignore the sadness that flashed in his eyes when the other said "I'm different from you".However, there was no time to worry about these at this time, Ye Shuo leaned out of the alley again, looking for the next target nearby.

"Wow, let's grab that one! The one over there is more handsome, and it's perfect for Jia Luo to wear!" Gongsun Zhiqi rested her head on his shoulder, pointing excitedly towards the street.

"No, no, grab that one! That one is more beautiful!" Xu Yuan seemed to be deliberately contradicting Gongsun Zhiqi, pointing to the one in the opposite direction, and suggested excitedly.

"...I really convinced them." After hearing a few words, Ye Shuo silently withdrew from the front line.

"Yeah, I don't think they are looking for dead souls, they are simply here on a blind date..." Jia Luo and him looked at each other, and they smiled wryly at each other.
