Starting from Scavengers to Cultivate Immortals

Chapter 128 Fusion Monster
After a while, the four of them stood in front of a dark cave.

This should be a mine, and there are a lot of black stones scattered on the ground. This is peat, and Xu Chen knows it.

The mine seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and brambles and weeds have grown near the entrance of the mine.

Xu Chen said to the old Taoist master and his apprentice: "You guys are waiting outside the cave, it's best to hide, we will go in and get rid of the soul beast and then come out."

"Okay, okay." The old Taoist was so excited, he pulled his apprentice to hide behind a few big rocks near the entrance of the cave.

"Let's go!"

Xu Chen walked into the cave first, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into it like a torch cave, and he could see the situation in the cave clearly. At that time, at a depth of about [-] feet, there was a powerful wave of spirit beast breath.

As if feeling the detection of two divine senses, the spirit beast's aura suddenly became stronger.

"Friend Lan Dao, be careful, there is a black mist!"

After the two walked more than ten feet inward, a thin layer of black mist began to appear in the alleyway, which was exactly the same as the black mist in Heifeng Ridge, but it was very thin and in the dark. If it weren't for the two of them The divine sense is so strong that it is almost impossible to feel it.

And the appearance of the black mist showed that this soul beast had indeed been entrenched here for a while.

After all soul beasts die, they will quickly disintegrate into black air.

Even if only one soul orb is left behind for an injured soul beast, it can recover with the help of black energy after a long time.

Once the soul beast leaves the range of the black mist, it will continuously release black energy, so the longer the soul animal stays in one place, the more this black energy will accumulate.

Therefore, according to the range and concentration of the black air in the cave, it can be roughly judged that this spirit beast has been here for a long time, and has not moved for a long time.

The two continued to go deeper one by one, the surrounding black mist became thicker and thicker, and the fluctuating aura of the soul beast became more and more obvious. At the same time, the image of the soul beast began to feed back into the soul. After Xu Chen saw it clearly, his whole body They were all stunned for a moment, and their hearts couldn't help but start beating wildly.

Because he saw an extremely terrifying picture.

More than a dozen corpses of humans and beasts piled up and grew together, forming a huge bat-like shape hanging upside down in the cave. Straight black air continuously emanated from these corpses, and then absorbed them again, like breathing. , Just between entering and exiting, a large number of them drifted into the cave, forming a black mist that filled the alleyway in front of them.

Lan You also saw this situation, her face paled instantly, and with an exclamation, she tightly grasped Xu Chen's arm with both hands.

"Don't be afraid, Fellow Daoist Lan, it's just disgusting. You stay here, and I'll go and have a look alone!" Xu Chen came back to his senses, and forcibly suppressed his emotions to comfort him.

"No, I'll be with you!" Lan You shook her head resolutely in horror.

"Okay then, you follow me!" Xu Chen raised his hand and drew out the flying sword to continue forward.

"Squeak~~"

Suddenly there was a sound that stimulated the soul, and in the churning and flowing black mist, dense bat phantoms the size of fists suddenly flew out.

"Friend Lan Dao, be careful, protect the spirit!"

Xu Chen reminded that his consciousness suddenly turned into a tide and swept down the narrow alleyway to the depths. A large number of bat phantoms were directly smashed to pieces under the impact of his consciousness, and almost none of them slipped through the net.

Consciousness impact is a magic skill that can only be cultivated by monks above the True Yuan Realm, but it has very high requirements for the soul, and it can be regarded as a kind of tough confrontation and contest between the soul and the soul.

Generally speaking, it is rare for monks of the same level to compete like this, unless it is a life-and-death vendetta as a last resort, otherwise one's own soul will be severely injured, especially if the other party has a magic weapon for attacking the soul, it is even more dangerous Incomparable.

The monks in the stage of refining and transforming energy almost always use vitality spells, and rarely use soul spells.

At the beginning in the capital, Master Yulong used his divine sense to forcibly oppress the three of them, but Xu Chen almost lost his soul when he used the blue light of Yuzhu to counterattack.

Therefore, the magic attack of the soul is a double-edged sword, which hurts both the enemy and the self. If you are not careful, you will kill yourself.

However, for Xu Chen, there were no sequelae, because he had a blue light bottle to protect his sea of ​​consciousness, even a great monk in the spiritual realm would not be able to shake his soul, let alone these soul beasts with only the strength of first-order monsters.

What's more, these fist-sized bat phantoms are even weaker, and can almost only cause damage to the souls of mortals. Even if they break into the body of ordinary monks, they will not cause much danger.

Xu Chen already felt very clearly that these bats were killed through the impact of spiritual consciousness, which was weaker than the one he killed in the city just now.

It seems to feel that a large number of small bats are dead. The large bats hanging in the cave vibrate violently, and a large amount of black air billows out, melting the connected corpses, opening their eyes and mouths everywhere, and emitting Fierce roar.

Lan You's face was so pale that there was no blood.

Xu Chen also felt the chrysanthemum tighten and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

"What the hell is this fucking thing?"

Xu Chen was not afraid at this time, but disgusted, especially disgusting.

The bats made up of these corpses were black and terrifying, and during the struggle, it seemed that a large amount of black corpse oil kept dripping down, and then turned into billowing black gas, and soon the black mist in the entire cave became thicker.

Xu Chen walked forward while suppressing his nausea, and Lan You grabbed his lapel tightly and followed step by step. Soon, the two came to the position of the huge bat made of dead bodies.

Looking at this terrifying and ferocious ghost, Xu Chen's scalp tingled.

But even so, the spirit beast didn't intend to attack at all, nor did it run away, so the two found it easily.

"Friend Lan Dao, this thing should be in a very special state. It seems that it wants to use these human and animal corpses to fuse into its own body and get rid of the state of pure ghostly black air."

Xu Chen came to a conclusion based on his own observation.

"Xu, Fellow Daoist Xu, this thing is disgusting, kill us quickly and get out!" Lan You was trembling slightly even though her cultivation was at the middle stage of the True Origin Realm.

Xu Chen nodded slightly, but didn't do it right away. Instead, he suppressed his nausea and released his consciousness to wrap the big bat made up of the whole corpse in it, infiltrating it, trying to see how this ghost thing was combined. , and how it merged with the soul beast into one.

What is the spirit of the nether world, no one in the fairy world of the Great Song Dynasty knows.

No one even knew what a soul beast was before.

Perhaps the Taiyuanmen who destroyed the sect knew about it, but it is a pity that Taiyuanmen has disappeared for 3000 years. Apart from some remaining magic weapons and fragments of jade slips of exercises, there are almost no records about Heifeng and soul beasts.

If he hadn't been involved in the confinement formation by the Xuanshui Youlian in the Linghu Canyon last time, he would have never known that the Taiyuan Sect had raised a Xuanshui Youlian in the depths of the Linghu Canyon before. of monsters.

He has always wanted to find out what Xuanshui Youlian is.

It wasn't until today that he met this bat soul beast that was merging with the flesh and blood of the corpse of a human beast that he suddenly had a feeling that maybe the Xuanshui Youlian was formed in the same way at the beginning, but the species was different.

But no matter what these things look like in the end, they all have a common original name, that is, soul beast, or ghost beast.

And after the ghost beast escaped from the scope of the Nether Qi, it would start to use another method to recast its body, and then it would be able to survive normally like a monster in the mortal world.

However, the way these ghost beasts cast their bodies is very bloody and cruel, that is, a large number of human or animal corpses.

And as Xu Chen's tyrannical consciousness comparable to the early stage of the Danyuan realm continued to penetrate into the body of this bat composed of corpses, he felt more and more surprised and terrified.

Because he found that these human and beast corpses that make up the bat's body are not dead, they are still alive, but they don't have any separate souls, because their souls have also been fused together by the soul beast.

Therefore, this corpse bat hanging upside down in the cave is actually an extremely complex fusion monster, neither a single soul beast, nor a human and a beast, but after being fused together, it has the dual characteristics of a soul beast and a monster .

That is, this thing already has flesh and blood, and is no longer a body formed by pure ghostly black air.

In order to verify his idea, Xu Chen raised his hand and swiped lightly, and the flying sword chopped off half of the bat's body.

"Squeak~~"

Accompanied by a splash of black water, the corpse fell from the bat. The huge bat also struggled and screamed violently. The liquid began to gather at the wound, and soon the wound began to solidify.

However, after being stimulated by Xu Chen's sword, the huge bat began to vibrate and squirm while struggling violently.

A large number of unfused meat pieces began to fall off the body,
Arms, thighs, fingers, and head all fell in black water like rain.

The bat's body is also rapidly condensing into shape, and the wings, claws, head, and fangs are all clear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, do it quickly!" Lan You reminded, her face pale and bloodless, trembling with fear.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist Lan, it has no chance of escaping. I have to observe carefully. This may be the best chance for us to find out what happened to the soul beast after it escaped from the range of the black wind..."

While Xu Chen comforted him, his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the bat's body more violently.

In his powerful consciousness, he can clearly see that the muscles, bones, and flesh of humans and animals are fusing at a frightening speed, turning into a complex and clear bat body, with a strange but complete structure of bones and blood vessels. and other organizations.

At the same time, he could also feel that a soul with a breath of life was constantly strengthening.
