Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 362 Ancient Soul Beast
Lin Qianxing naturally ignored the erosion of soul fog.
In other words, any negative state has no effect on him.
With the [Hengwo] plug-in, it is difficult for him to die.
The flying boat quickly traveled along the locations on the map.
We didn't encounter any soul beasts along the way, which shows that the map was indeed worth buying.
After all, to explore such a safe path, you either have to risk your life or rely on luck.
Soon, everyone arrived at the location of the first ghost mine marked on the map.
After going to check, everyone found that it had been mined and there was no remaining Phantom Ore.
"It was dug really cleanly, no wonder they are willing to sell the map." Lu Ren said.
"Let's go deeper. Ever since I bought the map, I guessed that everything marked on the map has been explored." Shang Chen said, "So what we should do is explore the area four thousand miles away. There are definitely not many people who can explore such a deep area."
Immediately, Shang Chen drove the flying boat forward quickly again.
When they passed by the mineral veins marked on the map, they simply sent people to check them out and then returned and continued on their way.
As expected, all the ghost stones in those areas have been mined out.
Soon, everyone explored to the end of the map.
From here on, the frontier areas have not been explored by the map creators.
Faced with the soul fog, everyone had no intention of stopping, but continued to go deeper.
The deeper you go, the thicker the soul fog inside, which means the greater the possibility of ghost soul ore forming there.
This is the main purpose of their coming.
As for danger?
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk.
If you are afraid of danger, don't come.
What's more, their strength is already at the top level except for those great monks, so even if they encounter danger, they are confident of dealing with it.
After walking for less than a few dozen miles, everyone made a discovery.
"Brother Shang, go forward to the right, I think I see something." Hou Menghan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly spoke.
"Okay." Shang Chen nodded.
Immediately, the flying boat began to move quickly towards the right front. Soon, a large area of dark translucent ore appeared in front of everyone.
"It's the Ghost Stone. It's of such high quality. It's no wonder that we are four thousand miles away. We can find so many Ghost Stones so easily." Shang Chen said with emotion.
"Just collect it on your own, and take whatever you get." Lu Ren said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already escaped from the flying boat and headed straight for the mineral vein, which showed that he had an impatient temper.
But he also has something to rely on. As a [Spear Master], his speed is extremely fast. If he really encounters any trouble, he can escape easily.
Luo Rui and others did not follow Lu Renyi forward.
Instead, he waited until Shang Chen docked the flying boat at the corresponding location and set up a defensive formation around it before he got off the boat, took out his tools and began collecting the ghost stones.
These ghost stones are very strong and must be mined with specific tools, otherwise a lot of physical strength will be wasted.
Everyone had their own space props, and the collected soul stones were collected instantly.
Lin Qianxing condensed a mining knife in his hand and easily knocked off a piece of condensed ghost stone. Then he held it in his hand and examined it quietly.
This dark, translucent stone looks a bit like glass, and it contains a rich, pure, special energy, which is soul power.
Lin Qianxing's mind moved, and he directly used his spirit to absorb some of it into his body.
The next moment, he felt his soul becoming much cooler, and then his whole body became energetic.
Therefore, this is indeed a good treasure for strengthening the soul.
Of course, Lin Qianxing didn't take it seriously.
He has many ways to strengthen his soul, and now his soul is already very powerful.
If it were to be fully displayed, it might only be slightly weaker than a Dao-level powerhouse.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard.
Immediately, the formation set up near the flying boat was instantly activated, and a layer of purple energy barrier unfolded, protecting Lin Qianxing and others.
Dozens of huge, strange-looking creatures appeared in the distance. They were gray all over and almost blended into the soul fog. They were roaring and constantly attacking the energy barrier.
This is the most common thing in Ghost Ridge, the soul beast.
They are not like soul fog that is untouchable. They are formed by the corpses of creatures that have been infected by soul fog and are left with only their instincts. Therefore, they are physical and can be killed.
"It's a soul beast." Luo Rui said.
"Brother Lu, let's attack together. If we don't deal with them, the energy of the flying boat will soon be exhausted." Shang Chen took out his weapon and said.
"I know." Lu Ren nodded.
Immediately, Lu Ren slapped the gun box behind him, and two halves of the gun body came out of it, and then were pieced together by Lu Ren.
On the other side, Luo Rui also took off the large shield behind him and held it in his palm.
Shang Chen shook his arms, and several metal rings appeared, with mysterious blue patterns lighting up on them.
Hou Menghan slapped her waist and took out an exquisitely crafted crossbow from her Qiankun bag.
A mysterious light flashed on the large shield in Luo Rui's hand, and he rushed out, directly hitting a soul beast that was more than two meters tall, causing it to stagger. Behind him, Lu Ren turned his spear, and the spear light instantly pierced through the soul beast's head.
Bang!
The next moment, the soul beast's head exploded, and countless gray blood splashed out.
Immediately, his body fell to the ground, and countless soul mists dissipated from his body.
Shang Chen shook his wrist, and the metal ring flew out with a blue light. After hitting the soul beast, it easily crippled it.
Then Hou Menghan used the crossbow to shoot arrows that flashed red light, accurately hitting their vital points and ending their lives.
Lin Qianxing also made several symbolic moves. He condensed a green divine wind blade in his palm and threw it out, instantly cutting several soul beasts in half.
Dozens of soul beasts were quickly killed easily with the combined efforts of everyone.
Soon, everyone started digging for the Soul Stone again.
Not long after, Lu Ren spoke up first: "Is it almost done? I can already feel my soul getting a little stiff and cold. I'm afraid it would be risky to dig any further."
Hearing this, Shang Chen smiled slightly and said to Hou Menghan, "Miss Hou."
Hou Menghan nodded, took out bottles of blood-red potion and handed them to everyone.
"This is what I asked Miss Hou to prepare. It is a potion to replenish yang energy. After drinking it, you will be able to endure the erosion of soul fog for a while longer." Shang Chen said.
After saying that, Shang Chen took the lead and drank one.
Hou Menghan also drank one.
Lu Ren checked it and found that there was no problem, so he drank it.
Luo Rui said: "I can still hold on for now, I'll drink later."
Lin Qianxing also put it away but did not drink it.
Shang Chen didn't say much when he saw this, but just continued digging silently.
While digging, he looked in a certain direction from time to time.
Seems to be waiting for something.
Boom~!
Boom~!
Boom~!
Finally, a sound like a heavy hammer hitting the ground was heard.
"What's that sound?" Shang Chen asked in surprise.
He seemed to be reminding everyone intentionally.
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction Shang Chen was looking.
Boom~!
There was a loud bang and a vibration, and the gravel on the ground rose slightly into the air.
In the endless soul fog, a huge figure several dozen feet tall appeared faintly.
It looks like a human, but has four arms behind its back.
Luo Rui's pupils suddenly contracted, and he said, "It's an ancient soul beast."
That’s right, since this is an ancient battlefield, there must be corpses of ancient creatures here.
Their corpses were infected by soul mist and would naturally become soul beasts.
But generally speaking, they rarely appear on the periphery.
"Go quickly, we can't defeat them!" Shang Chen said.
Then he took the lead and ran towards the flying boat.
Hou Menghan and others quickly followed behind.
Within three breaths, they were back on the flying boat.
Shang Chen started the flying boat without thinking and prepared to evacuate.
Buzz~!
The flying boat ejected purple energy particles, propelling it forward.
This action seemed to disturb the ancient soul beast.
His originally slow pace suddenly turned into a run.
Boom boom boom~!
Boom~!
His knees bent slightly, the ground collapsed, forming a huge pit, and then the four-armed giant suddenly jumped high and pounced on the flying boat.
Shang Chen gritted his teeth and tried his best to control the flying boat to rise upwards.
Fortunately, the flying boat was fast enough, and the giant couldn't touch them even when he jumped to the highest point. The two sides were still at least five meters away from each other.
However, at this moment, the giant suddenly opened his mouth.
Poof!
A mouthful of sticky liquid was spurted out and landed directly on the energy barrier of the flying boat.
The barrier disintegrated instantly, and corrosive liquid fell onto the flying boat, quickly melting everything around it.
Lin Qianxing and the others hid quickly enough and were able to escape.
However, the flying boat has been dissolved.
Everyone used their own methods to stay in the air.
Lin Qianxing was riding the wind, Shang Chen was supported by a platform formed by water flow, Luo Rui was floating in the air on his shield, Lu Ren was quickly turning his somewhat long and flat spear and his body was suspended in the void, and Hou Menghan was sitting on a leaf-like magic weapon hanging in the air.
Except for Lin Qianxing, everyone else seemed to be still a little frightened.
The saliva spit out by the giant is so lethal. I don’t know how terrifying it would be if I were really hit by him.
Boom boom boom~Boom~!
With a loud bang, the giant flew up again.
Everyone quickly raised their bodies.
When the giant jumped to the highest point, he suddenly waved his hands and slapped them.
Bang~!
The sound of air exploding was resounding as a strong wind swept through, causing everyone to fall all over the place, some of them finding it difficult to maintain their position.
Luo Rui was pushed by the air wave and flew hundreds of meters away. A mysterious light flashed on his shield, and he barely stopped his retreat.
"Everyone, we can't go on like this. This ancient soul beast is as powerful as a fourth-tier great cultivator. Now that we have lost our flying boat, if it really chases us, we won't be able to escape." Shang Chen said, "I have a trump card, and its power is no weaker than a fourth-tier great cultivator's full-strength attack. Please cooperate with me and restrict its movements. We will definitely be able to kill it."
"It's said that he is comparable to a fourth-level great cultivator. How can we possibly restrict him?" Lu Ren exclaimed.
"Everything depends on human effort. It only has instinct and brute force. Brother Luo, you have unparalleled defense. Please withstand one attack and push it back to the ground when it jumps up. Brother Lu, you are fast. At that time, attract its attention and don't let it jump up again. Confine it to the surface. Miss Hou, please pay attention to Brother Luo's condition. Mr. Lin, I know you have some trump cards. Now is not the time to hide your tricks. Try to delay it as much as possible!!" Shang Chen quickly transmitted his voice: "Everyone, please give me ten breaths. I promise to be able to control it."
