Chapter 274 Return and Preparation
An hour later.
Under the surprised gazes of the three people, the originally bright green color of the Eight Spider Spears gradually turned towards gold, then slowly darkened, and finally turned into a dark golden color with a metallic luster and looked extremely solid.
"It's been a hundred thousand years. As expected of a soul beast from the same origin, it can actually make the Eight Spider Spears evolve so quickly."
Lin Manshan sighed inwardly, the joy on his face could not be suppressed.
However, changes continued.
When every inch of the spider spear's surface turned into dark gold, a flash of green light suddenly rose. The next moment, there was a kacha sound, and a crack appeared. Then came the second, third, and continuous kacha sounds.
Lin Manshan raised his eyes and took a closer look. Under the cracks, there was actually an emerald-like texture.
Looking at it as a whole, it looks like a whole piece of emerald gemstones are inlaid inside eight thick shaped gold bars.
"It's a bit like my martial soul. Could it be that the soul power in the body is also working?" Lin Manshan couldn't help but think to himself, and at the same time, a thought came to his mind, "What kind of picture will it be if the eight spider lances enter the soul?"
Between thoughts, time passed by.
Another hour later, the surface of the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor's corpse had turned completely gray-white. Lin Manshan then pulled out the Eight Spider Spear, stretched out his hand to touch it, and felt it carefully.
After a while, I couldn't help but look up at the gray-white corpse in front of my eyes, and was shocked in my heart.
"It's too strong! This Soul-eating Spider Emperor actually increased the age of my Eight Spider Lances by 4 years!"
"It is estimated that it has been close to 11 years?"
"The efficiency of devouring is also stronger! However, because it is a soul beast of the same origin, the energy essence seems to be used to upgrade the eight spider lances attached to the soul bone. The improvement of other parts of the soul bone is not high, only about 5000 years."
"This is already a lot." Several of his soul bones are more than 5000 years old. With such a foundation, it can be improved to years, which is extremely impressive.
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, retracted the Eight Spider Spear, turned around and walked towards Dugu Bo.
Seeing Lin Manshan approaching, Dugu Bo frowned, "Man'er, look at how happy you are, this promotion must be quite big, right?"
Lin Manshan nodded, "It is indeed not small. Perhaps because of the same origin, the physical essence of this Soul-eating Spider Emperor has greatly improved my Eight Spider Spears. I am sure that it has now exceeded the 100,000-year level."
"One hundred thousand years!" Both of them were surprised.
"Yes." Lin Manshan smiled, "Not only that, the devouring ability has also been greatly enhanced."
"You can see this." Dugu Bo glanced at the gray-white corpse not far away, and Tang San's figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and continued: "It's a pity that you have never used this devouring ability to assist your cultivation, otherwise you might have broken through now. Titled Douluo."
Lin Manshan shook his head, "After witnessing with my own eyes the devouring effect of the eight spider spears after being strengthened several times, I am even more grateful for my original decision."
"Since the phagocytosis ability can be further enhanced, it means that there are still flaws in the previous one."
"This also means that the soul power transformed through the Eight Spider Spears is not perfect."
"I at least still have soul bones and beads as carriers for the life energy I have devoured. It is not directly stored in the physical body and has little impact. However, the energy transformed into soul power and cultivation must always run in the meridians. There may be subtle effects that even I can't perceive. There may not be any problems in a short period of time, but over time, who can say for sure?"
Of course, it's okay to swallow life energy. You should have eaten fairy grass with me, and the reason why there is soul power in your body. Every burning of soul power is actually a tempering of the body, just like the principle of underworld alchemy.
However, there will be no pies in the sky for no reason, so it is better to be cautious.
Besides, with my cultivation speed, there is no need to take the risky shortcut of devouring... Lin Manshan thought to himself.
"That's true." Dugu Bo nodded, "For example, Tang San, I feel that he should have been affected. In the image you showed me last time, his Eight Spider Spears turned blood red, and even his soul power was gone. The trace of blood is probably the effect of imperfect devouring and transformation. As the saying goes, too much is not enough, that kid devoured so frequently, I don’t think it’s possible that nothing happened.”
"Haha, that's your own fault." Yang Wudi sneered from the side.
But even so, God Shura still chose to save him. The so-called gods are nothing more than this... Lin Manshan's eyes were filled with coldness.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go, let's go find the Giant Ant King." Dugu Bo raised his hand.
"En." The two nodded, and followed Dugu Bo out of the cave.
Two days later, they finally arrived at the area where the three Fifteen Ton Ant Emperor brothers were discovered.
"It seems that the Fifteen Ton Ant Emperor has already migrated." After carefully feeling the surroundings, he did not find the Fifteen Ton Ant Emperor's soul fluctuation.However, the soul link with the remaining insects and birds is still there, but it is extremely weak, and it should be very far away.
"And depending on the situation, it seems that it is not in the core area, but has gone to a farther place."
"Could it be that he went around to the Star Luo Empire?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but said: "Since the Qianjun Ant Emperor was driven out of the core area, he must have known about the existence of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. In the last battle, it must have seen Man'er's true cultivation level. So, is it worried that if you hang out with the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python, we will come to your door, so it deliberately avoids it?"
"It's not impossible." Yang Wudi pondered briefly, "The intelligence of high-level soul beasts is no lower than that of humans. When we used elixirs to improve the cultivation of its other two brothers, the purpose was to obtain a hundred thousand year soul ring and soul bones. . Regarding this point, it knows very well having experienced this process personally. Therefore, it is normal to guess that we may find trouble with the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python in the future. It chooses to stay away, and maybe even takes the Titan. The idea of giant apes and azure bull pythons acting as shields.”
"Of course, it may also be because the journey is far away, we can't find it, and we will look for other high-level soul beasts."
"That makes sense." Dugu Bo nodded, and then sighed, "If it weren't for the Thunder Tribulation to curb the growth of soul beasts, maybe this continent would have been ruled by the soul beasts long ago. Long lifespan, coupled with good wisdom , some soul beasts can give birth, such as rabbits and snakes."
"There is an endless supply of vanguard troops, and there is no shortage of high-end combat power. How can humans be our opponents?"
Lin Manshan shook his head, "Perhaps, there is some kind of heaven and earth law that balances all these."
"Who knows." Dugu Bo shrugged, then raised his hand, "Let's go, stay as far away as possible, just treat it as a picnic."
"Yes." Lin Manshan nodded, facing in one direction and taking steps, "If you go this way, you will be closer."
So, with Lin Manshan leading the way, the three of them continued to set off.
The core area of the Star Forest is an area unknown to humans, so Lin Manshan would not be foolish enough to risk crossing it.
Detouring along the edge of the core area, exploring high-age soul beasts and collecting medicinal materials along the way undoubtedly became the main theme of the journey.
Time just passed by.
With the help of the rare medicinal herbs collected from time to time on the road, Lin Manshan also took advantage of the opportunity to discuss the pharmacology with Yang Wudi, and successfully attracted the attention of this master who has become obsessed with medicine and loves to collect medicinal herbs, making him temporarily forget about cultivation. .
Then, after six days, Yang Wudi woke up and had a breakthrough.
"It seems that sometimes being too obsessed with one thing is not a good thing." Yang Wudi also sighed on the spot.
"That's right! People, the most important thing is to have a good time." Dugu Bo commented, "Too tight will make people lose their fun, and their brains will become dull, and too loose will make people slack. The best combination of work and rest.”
"It makes sense." Yang Wudi and Lin Manshan nodded in agreement.
So, the three of them continued to set off.
In the end, the Fifteen Ton Ant Emperor was found in an extremely dangerous valley two days later.
Following Lin Manshan and jumping down the valley, the three of them quickly came to a stone wall. Looking at the fresh earth bags piled up at the bottom, Dugu Bo couldn't help complaining, "This guy is really good at finding places, but he actually dug in such a hidden valley. a lair."
No, I think it's pretty miserable. They were all hiding here and yet we found them... Lin Manshan mourned him in silence from the bottom of his heart.
The next second, he smiled and said, "Luckily, its cultivation has exceeded one hundred thousand years."
"That's really saving medicine." Dugu Bo grinned, strode forward, and raised his hand, and a cloud of poisonous mist shot into the cave entrance.
Lin Manshan followed closely behind, and waved a gust of wind, blowing the poisonous mist directly into the cave.
Not long after, the ground and stone walls began to tremble violently. After just a few breaths, a huge dark golden ant suddenly popped out of the ground with a "Poof!" sound.
The next moment, everything around was still, and then a half-moon-shaped knife light slashed across, cutting straight at the neck joints, a white mark suddenly appeared, and the body was overwhelmed.Immediately followed by the second and third steps, directly hitting the joints of the legs on both sides.
"Kacha...Kacha..." The limbs were twisted and broken.
The next second, "Peng!" A black light fell from the sky, piercing the cracked neck, and the spear was deeply embedded.
"Humans, you can never get my soul ring!"
The Qianjun Ant King suddenly uttered human words, and his whole body began to glow with golden light, and terrifying power continued to emanate from his body.
"It's not that easy to self-destruct." Lin Manshan's eyes flashed, and in an instant he spit out two streams of light, directly hitting the Qianjun Ant Emperor's forehead.
"Ah!" The latter screamed suddenly, and the golden light radiating from his body stopped abruptly.
At this time, Dugu Bo also arrived and punched the forehead, directly knocking the struggling Qianjun Ant King into the ground.
The soul-breaking gun in his hand was deeply inserted into the neck of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor. Yang Wudi, who was thrown around by it, immediately seized the opportunity, landed his feet on the carapace, and twisted his hands violently, and the gun body suddenly entered a few times more. point. The next second, his calves bowed and he quickly jumped back.
"Explosion!" There was a soft shout in the air.
"Peng!" The tip of the spear inserted into the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor's neck suddenly exploded violently.
The juice fragments splashed, and the body of the Qianjun Ant Emperor fell to the ground. Looking further, a huge bloody hole was exposed above the thick neck joint, the carapace on both sides was also exploded, the head drooped silently, and only the legs were still shaking.
In just a moment, a blood-red soul ring floated out.
"Damn, this guy is much stronger than his two brothers who just broke through." Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh.
"This is natural! It was promoted by devouring the corpses of the other two Fifteen Ton Ant Emperors. Counting the time, several months have passed, and the body has already adapted, so the strength it can display will naturally be much stronger." Lin Manshan slightly nod.
As he said that, he turned his head to look at Yang Wudi, "Uncle Yang, it's not too late, just sit down and absorb it."
"Okay." Yang Wudi nodded, approached quickly, and picked up a right arm spirit bone from the right side of the corpse.
"Uncle Yang, you also have a soul tool, keep it for yourself, after absorbing the soul ring, just absorb it." Lin Manshan's voice came again.
"Yes." Yang Wudi nodded, sat down and began to absorb the soul ring.
After waiting for a while, Lin Manshan approached with small steps, jumped on the head, stretched out the eight spider spears and inserted them into the blood hole in the neck.
After a few hours, he slowly pulled out the Eight Spider Spear.
After feeling it carefully, I couldn't help but feel happy.
I didn’t expect that after the Eight Spider Spears evolved again, they would be able to distribute the soul beast essence according to my physical condition.
Those whose quality exceeds 1.5 years have only improved by about a thousand years, but others have improved by about 5 years. In particular, the dark gold Terrorclaw Bear with the lowest age has soul bones attached to its left and right palms. Both of them have been increased by years, and their age has exceeded years!
Lin Manshan was undoubtedly delighted with this improvement. The physical essence from a hundred thousand year old soul beast, under the condition of equal distribution, the improvement for the quality of the soul bone that exceeds the quality of one hundred thousand year old is undoubtedly limited. But for those who do not exceed it, it is a great supplement.
It feels like cheating, so cool... I thought happily and walked towards Dugu Bo.
Sitting cross-legged on the carpet, he ate something, and began to practice with his eyes closed, to get acquainted with the latest improvement by the way.
Half a month later, Yang Wudi opened his eyes and slowly got up.
After questioning, it was revealed that just like Niu Gao, his soul power had been increased by 3 levels, reaching level 93.
At this point, the outing was successfully concluded. The three of them packed up and set off to return.
It has to be said that this time they traveled a little far, and they couldn't walk across the Star Dou Forest in a straight line.Therefore, the three of them chose to bypass the core area first, stay close to the edge of the core area on the side of the Heaven Dou Empire, and then rely on their flying ability to hurry on their way.
It took 14 days to finally return to the academy.
After nearly two and a half months of living in the open air, Lin Manshan also expressed that he really couldn't bear it. Therefore, the first thing I did when I came back was to say hello to the girls, rush into the bedroom, take a comfortable hot bath, and then prepare a delicious meal for myself.
At night, spend time with my daughter-in-law in a beautiful game of poker, and fight till dawn.
On the second day, I didn’t get up until the sun was shining, I dressed and left the house quietly, and walked into the practice room.
He came to the desk and took out the letter, and began to write a letter to Bibi Dong.
After finishing writing, go out and find Shui Ziliu, and ask him to go to the Wuhun Temple to hand it over to Salas at night.
After finishing all this, go back to the room and start making lunch.
Afterwards, he took the girls to visit Old Jack's family. After returning home, he continued his simple and boring cultivation life.
He had to reorganize his gains, further adapt to the newly promoted Contra realm, and adjust his state for the next attack on Haotianzong.
"After that, it's time to try that thing..."
