After death, I became the ghost emperor. I was contracted by my daughter.

Two ghosts walked forward in the wilderness, one in front and one behind.

After walking for more than an hour, the sky gradually darkened.

Lin Yan looked up and saw that the purple sun had set over the mountain at some point, and a dark red crescent moon was hanging high in the sky.

"It's dark, take a rest for a night, and continue on the road tomorrow."

The Ya ghost sat cross-legged in the darkness ahead and said:

"It's dark at night, and the wind is strong, so it's not suitable to travel. Fortunately, the concentration of soul fog will also increase significantly, which is a good time for the dead to practice. You should eat the soul fog to strengthen yourself, so as not to let the wind blow away your soul."

Lin Yan felt it a little bit, and he really felt that the biting cold increased a bit, and at the same time, the concentration of soul power between heaven and earth increased a lot.

This fake ghost messenger has such a good idea?

Lin Yan was confused, but on the surface he responded respectfully: "Yes, Master Ghost Messenger."

"By the way, you don't have a way to practice yet, right?"

Lin Yan nodded: "No."

Ya Gui said: "It is fate that we met. Today I will teach you the way to practice."

"Really?"

Lin Yan pretended to be surprised, and his doubts became even greater.

"Boy, come here."

"Okay."

Lin Yan walked in front of Ya Gui.

"Sit cross-legged and relax your mind."

Hmm? Relax your mind?

Lin Yan had a vague guess in his mind.

However, he had the "Book of Life and Death" in his hand. Once the souls of the two were nakedly facing each other, let alone a fake ghost, even the ghost king would have to suffer.

Therefore, he was fearless and relaxed his mind.

Seeing this, Ya Gui showed a happy expression on his face, and his soul power instantly invaded Lin Yan's soul sea.

The souls of the two faced each other in Lin Yan's soul sea.

Ya Gui was on the offensive, his spirit soaring above the sky, covering Lin Yan's entire soul sea like a dark cloud.

And Lin Yan's spirit, without the protection of his body, stood alone in the center of the soul sea like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Lin Yan looked up at Ya Gui's spirit.

If the soul sea of ​​other dead souls was invaded like this, they would have lost all initiative and might even be completely swallowed by the other party.

"Master Ghost, you don't want to eat me, do you?" Lin Yan asked weakly.

"Chatter chatter chatter..."

Ya Gui, who thought he was in control of everything, finally took off his disguise, "Have you been discovered? It's too late!"

"Boy, I have entered your soul sea, it's too late to regret it now!"

Ya Gui laughed, opened his bloody mouth, and pounced on Lin Yan's spirit.

"Really?"

Lin Yan sneered.

"Absolutely devour, start!"

In an instant, the attack and defense changed.

An absolute suction force that was above all other forces enveloped Ya Gui's soul.

"How is it possible!"

Ya Gui was terrified and wanted to struggle and escape.

But all his struggles were in vain.

Before he could react further, the endless suction force had crushed his consciousness.

The entire soul turned into soul power nutrients and flowed into Lin Yan's soul sea.

"Comfortable."

After his soul power was replenished, Lin Yan felt comfortable all over.

At the same time, Ya Gui's few memory fragments were all presented in Lin Yan's mind.

"So that's it."

By observing Ya Gui's memory fragments, Lin Yan finally had some understanding of this vast world of the dead.

In the world of the dead, soul power is everything.

Devouring soul power is the first source of power for all undead.

There are two types of soul power that can be devoured: living soul and dead soul.

The so-called living soul is the living soul, such as Lin Yan and Ya Gui just now.

Dead souls are all souls without conscious subjects, such as soul fog that permeates the world, soul coins that condense into currency, or some soul fruits and soul liquids that contain rich soul power.

The swallowing of living souls is more efficient and more delicious.

Therefore, the more powerful the dead are, the more they like to swallow living souls.

Of course, swallowing living souls is risky. When two souls face each other, the one with a stronger soul and the one who takes the offensive will generally have a greater advantage.

For example, when two undead souls are close to each other in soul power, whoever invades the other soul sea first will be able to swallow the enemy with a high probability.

When the difference in soul power between each other is too large, such as a difference in realm of one major level, even if the low-level soul invades the high-level soul sea by chance, it will be swallowed back with a high probability.

In the battle just now, since Ya Gui's realm is higher than Lin Yan's, his soul is naturally one point larger than Lin Yan's.

Therefore, after the invasion is successful, he will be carried away.

He has used this method to swallow a lot of undead souls, but unfortunately he met Lin Yan.

"This Ya ghost is a talent. He relied on fraud and deception to swallow dozens of second-level souls. If he hadn't met me, he would have advanced to the third level in no time."

Lin Yan sighed.

In the dead world.

Among the undead, most of them can't escape the relationship of swallowing and being swallowed.

Every undead, when you meet others, you need to be careful and keep your mind.

Here, others are hell.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for discovering the survival rules of the dead world]

[In the dead world, others are hell! ]

[Go, go and devour others! ]

[Release task: Devour]

[Devour: Devour one hundred living souls within ten days]

[Task reward: Ten thousand years of soul power]

"Hmm? New task?"

"Reward ten thousand years of soul power?"

According to the previous estimate, ten thousand years of soul power, wouldn't that be a direct entry into the fifth level?

Lin Yan suddenly felt full of energy.

"Swallow! Swallow now!"

"Book of Life and Death, start exploration! Explore all the dead within 1 kilometer!"

[Start exploration...]

[Found the dead, the first level seven stars, the direction is right front, 600 meters away]

"First-level wandering soul? It's you!"

Lin Yan killed in the direction indicated by the Book of Life and Death.

The dead will not get tired, but strenuous exercise will consume soul power, especially at night, when the cold wind will increase the consumption of soul power.

Fortunately, the consumption is not too great and is still within an acceptable range.

Lin Yan ran 600 meters at a fast speed, and indeed found a wandering first-level soul in a dark depression.

Without saying a word, he picked up a short knife and chopped it down.

The wandering soul had no time to react before its head fell off.

Of course, the head fell off, but the person was not dead.

The body groped and ran over to find the head.

Lin Yan kicked the headless body away, then grabbed the head

- Devour.

Without any hindrance, the delicious soul power turned into a trickle and merged into Lin Yan's soul sea.

"Comfortable!"

"Continue, next one!"

...

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

[Task: Devour (I): Completion 99/100]

In three days, Lin Yan had devoured 99 living souls.

"One more and the mission will be completed ahead of schedule."

Lin Yan launched a search and quickly locked onto the next target.

With the search function of the Book of Life and Death, he can easily search and identify ghosts within a radius of 1 kilometer.

After three days of exploration, Lin Yan has figured out his current state.

He is now a soul body.

Although it is only a soul body, the body organs have evolved into the state before death.

The derived body and limbs are essentially the extension of the soul power of the soul, but they can greatly improve his combat effectiveness.

With the body and limbs, Lin Yan can use weapons and even some of the martial arts and combat skills he mastered before birth.

Compared to ghosts with only heads or only naked souls, the combat power is naturally incomparable.

Lin Yan discovered that there are countless naked souls without bodies floating in this world.

Most of them are in a daze, without awakening self-awareness, let alone any combat effectiveness.

Just devouring them, the soul power obtained is far less than devouring the souls with bodies.

At the same time, the system does not classify them as living souls, and cannot improve the progress of the task.

In addition, Lin Yan found that if the body is injured, it can be restored with soul power.

But if it encounters a serious injury, such as a broken arm, a broken leg, or even a broken head, it will recover more slowly and temporarily lose most of its combat power.

Therefore, when dealing with ghosts of similar strength here, it is often necessary to fight fiercely first, cut off its limbs or head, and then swallow it with peace of mind.
