Volume 13: The Son of Darkness, the Lord of the Netherworld, the Happy One Chapter 12: The Self-Regulating Evolution of Soul Beasts
This group of soul beasts did not try to stop Lu Zhu and Arno and the others, but chose to retreat instead.
However, those members of the sect did not dare to enter rashly at this time.
After the soul beast underwent a mutation, its strength was greatly improved.
Even though they still have no intelligence, they can kill many enemies with the various magical powers in their bodies.
Nowadays, soul beasts will develop various special abilities after a riot.
These special abilities come from their bodies, which come from different worlds and different creatures. Many of them even come from the collision of higher-level forces.
These forces accumulated in their bodies in a chaotic form.
Now, this chaos has ended to a certain extent, and these forces are beginning to rebuild in order.
Of course, the road to reconstruction was extremely difficult at the beginning and was full of mistakes and omissions.
For example, a soul beast in the form of a cat awakened the ability of fire.
It turns out that the fur on his body came from another kind of soul, which itself had no fire resistance.
So, as he used his fire ability, the moment flames came out of his body, his fur was almost burned.
If he hadn't stopped using his abilities immediately and rolled over and jumped into the water, he might have been burned to death.
These are the many problems that arise when soul beasts awaken their abilities.
However, as these problems continue to occur and conflict with each other, as long as you don't die in these conflicts.
Their souls and bodies will become more and more reasonable with each adjustment.
For example, the cat, as he fearlessly displayed his abilities time and time again, his soul and body gradually merged, and now his hair has the properties of fire.
It looks fluffy, but in fact it is not much different from the dancing flames.
At the same time, the most important point is that as the soul beasts are clearing out the problems caused by accumulation in their bodies bit by bit, their wisdom is also improving rapidly.
Moreover, as the soul is cleansed, the information contained in the soul will slowly be received by them.
Just like Arnold and other ghosts, because they were actually drawn into the underworld not long after their death, their memories before death are still preserved very intact.
Although the soul memory of the soul beast is very confusing, it has completed the enlightenment of wisdom and thus possessed a lot of knowledge.
And some of this knowledge comes from the power of higher realms.
Compared to the dead souls, these soul beasts seem to be more loved by the world.
They can easily improve their own strength, and as long as their souls are no longer chaotic, they can gradually reach the peak of power in the underworld.
Moreover, if there is power from above within the soul, they can continue to explore upwards and become even more powerful.
“If these soul beasts continue to evolve like this, they will all become monsters.” The old doctor was in the pile of soul beasts, looking at the transformed soul beasts, his eyes full of anticipation.
He was originally a doctor, but because of his excessive obsession with the human body, he was gradually excluded from the mainstream.
Because of this obsession, he even lingered on the edge of crime for many years. If he had not had some bottom line, he would have become a serial killer, hunting for bodies everywhere.
After becoming a ghost, he was naturally fascinated by the structure of ghosts.
The reason why he opened the Hospital for the Dead was to study the physical differences between the dead souls and soul beasts.
They now rely on Lu Zhu's ability. In the soul beast territory, many soul beasts appreciate Lu Zhu's friendship and do not attack them at will.
After these powerful soul beasts no longer attack them, the remaining soul beasts can become their food.
Soul beasts are not the same individual.
Only between people of the same kind can there be some friendship.
In their current state, even if they awaken their wisdom, it will be difficult for them to regard other races as their companions.
So they live in this area now. Although their daily necessities of life are a little troublesome, they are still not a problem.
The old doctor felt itchy when he saw these increasingly powerful soul beasts.
He really wanted to know how these soul beasts were able to increase their strength by several levels in just a few days to reach their current monstrous state.
Although Arnold's performance was even more exaggerated.
Arnold with wings also chose to come back at this time.
As he came back, the wings on his body quickly faded away and turned into two tattoo-like things attached to his back.
This is the result of the old doctor's research during this period.
Because of the existence of power limits, the power Arnold can usually mobilize is limited.
In this case, this part of power will be stored in Arnold's body in the form of a third party.
When Arnold needs it, he can switch and call it at any time.
Although this still cannot break the power limit, it can greatly enrich Arnold's abilities and allow him to face difficulties in all aspects.
"The Rodela Cult has taken action." Arnold said.
During this period, relying on the convenience brought by Lu Zhu, he had already gone to the gathering place, where there were hundreds of cult members stationed, including some masters.
During this period, they also built a simple fortress using some of the things piled up.
It is still unrealistic to want to deal with these people alone.
During this period, the cult in the city continued to rule with high pressure, forcing most residents to be under cult-like control under such circumstances.
Most of the residents have experienced varying degrees of physical changes as they recited Rodella's Secret Book of Life, and as the changes have occurred, they are becoming more and more crazy.
At this moment, the city looked like a lunatic paradise.
It is filled with a lot of crazy people, chanting the name of Rodella all the time.
And in the process, they will commit various acts of self-mutilation, making themselves deformed.
"In addition, when I came back today, I found that some changes had taken place among the members of the cult." Arnold said seriously.
"They have mastered the power of soul beasts."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Zhu paid great attention to them.
"How did they master it?" Lu Zhu knew about these cults, but the challengers and individuals behind them were not simple.
They cannot remain unchanged and wait for the enemy to attack them. They will inevitably undergo updates and upgrades.
"Their deformed limbs have developed animal characteristics, and they possess obvious supernatural powers."
"I have seen several members of the cult grow different tails, and they are very similar to soul beasts."
Many of the soul beasts' abilities are concentrated in their tails.
For example, a certain type of monkey has a tail that has the ability to grow longer and harder and to throw it at people.
Furthermore, the speed at which it grew longer was completely beyond the cult members' ability to deform their bodies.
So, this time when Arnold saw a similar tail on a member of the cult, he was very surprised.
In addition, they also discovered that these cult members were systematically hunting soul beasts with extraordinary powers and obtaining something from them.
"It seems that our understanding of soul beasts is lagging behind." Lu Zhu reacted immediately.
Soul beasts are the darlings of this world, but so are the souls of the dead.
They are all members of Lu Bai's experimental field.
In this situation, the soul beasts continue to evolve, and the members of the cult rely on the power of other challengers to undergo mutations.
Only the ordinary residents gained nothing and could only allow themselves to be invaded by the cults and soul beasts.
This does not conform to the purpose of Lu Bai's experiment.
Therefore, after the soul beasts evolve first, there must be a way to allow the residents to complete the changes accordingly.
Now it seems that things are still the same as before.
In the past, residents relied on hunting soul beasts to survive, and this is still the case now.
In the process of hunting soul beasts, they can also obtain corresponding power from the soul beasts.
"It's essentially just accumulation." The old doctor understood and said at this time.
It’s just that the previous accumulation was an accumulation of dead matter.
And now the power accumulated by the soul beasts themselves has been sorted out by them, thus becoming living piles.
As long as you kill the soul beasts, you can absorb their power and gain the power of the accumulation.
It is estimated that various systems will be formed based on this in the future, thus triggering changes in the situation across the entire continent.
"Those challengers in the human world have probably only just issued their orders, which should be no more than an hour at most."
The time ratio between the human world and the underworld is more than one to three hundred.
Almost half a month has passed here, but in the human world it is probably only an hour.
Although those people in the human world have strong minds and consciousness, they do not have enough supernatural power to support them. Even if they want to commit suicide and come to the underworld, it will take a long time for them to prepare themselves.
"Do your best to eliminate the Rodela Cult, and then take advantage of this period of time to develop rapidly." Lu Zhu gave the order, and then asked Arnold: "Also, how are the militiamen doing?"
Naturally, they would not have done nothing during this period of time.
In the underworld, recruiting people is more promising than simply developing one's own extraordinary abilities.
At this time, they naturally thought of the previous militia.
Originally, the militia organizations spontaneously formed by the residents in the city formed a balance with the religious orders.
Then, through some neutral forces such as businessmen, a check and balance among the three parties was achieved.
As a result, the cult is now the only dominant force, and businessmen and the like are forced to cooperate with the cult. The militia has been disbanded, with only a few people escaping.
Lu Zhu and his team found the militia, and through the holy objects made by Lu Zhu that possessed the influence of Zizai Tian, they were able to ensure that they would not be disturbed by the distorted power of the Rodella Cult, allowing them to remain true to themselves at all times.
He pulled this broken team into his own camp.
They are all lurking in the city at this time. Once the cult suffers a major blow, they will work together with Lu Zhu and others to overthrow the Rodella cult and allow Lu Zhu to take power successfully.
