"Nima!"
Lin Xiao clearly noticed that after using this move, the number of souls imprisoned in the two-headed scorpion giant decreased, and it was obvious that the power was converted to heal the wounds.
It would be hard to fight if this is the case. If you keep healing like this, not only will it be hard to kill you, but after you kill you will also lose your most crucial soul. What's the point then?
"Maybe try another approach!"
Lin Xiao decisively withdrew and left, regardless of the two-headed scorpion giant roaring angrily and chasing him behind him.
He ran for dozens of kilometers in one breath before he finally got rid of it. He returned along the same route and found a small border town where wizards gathered.
In the trading area of the city, he spent all his property to buy a large number of highly toxic drugs, including biological poisons, alchemical poisons, nerve agents, and other highly toxic drugs. He bought several cans of all of them, then led a horse and left.
On the way, he used special materials to package the venom separately, and then combined them into a large poison bag. He came back to the place where he encountered the two-headed scorpion giant before. He deliberately released his own breath, and there was no response for a long time.
Lin Xiao thought about it, and tried to release the large amount of soul power he carried in his body. Soon he heard a roar and the rumbling sound of running coming from afar.
Sure enough, the main reason why the two-headed scorpion giant chased him for so long was because he was attracted by the soul in him.
He quickly anesthetized the horse, made an incision in its abdomen, stuffed the large mixed poison bag in, and sewed it up simply.
The two-headed scorpion giant was overjoyed when he saw him and chased after him. Lin Xiao used witchcraft to stimulate the vitality of his warhorse and rode away on the horse. The horse was injured and couldn't run fast, or even if it wasn't injured, it couldn't outrun the 15-meter-tall giant and was soon caught up. The moment he was grabbed by the giant's palm, he leaped more than ten meters away like a fish to escape. The two-headed scorpion giant only grabbed the warhorse and angrily stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
Lin Xiao was delighted to see this, and the next step was to wait.
He kept walking around with the two-headed scorpion giant. Five minutes later, the two-headed scorpion giant stopped moving. Both heads showed painful expressions at the same time. At the same time, the soul power surged out of his body, and the pain on his face disappeared. Moreover, the speed became even faster, and he was chased everywhere in a panic.
But half an hour later, the two-headed scorpion giant stopped moving again, the pain on his face became even more severe, and even the color of his face changed.
Lin Xiao knew that the poison had completely taken effect. Its soul power could heal the wound but could not drive away the poison.
This two-headed scorpion giant was quite intelligent. Knowing that he was injured and poisoned, he covered his stomach and dragged his body back. This time it was Lin Xiao's turn to follow behind.
Soon its movements became slower and slower, and it looked weaker and weaker, until it lay powerless in the wilderness, unable to move.
Lin Xiao stood about forty or fifty meters away from it and watched quietly, watching the two-headed scorpion giant become weaker and weaker, and finally lying on the ground motionless.
Only then did he stand up, jump to a crooked tree not far away and squat to watch.
He looked at the motionless two-headed scorpion giant with some amusement. The soul power of this guy was still so active and he was pretending to be dead. He was speechless.
But it is true that he is poisoned, and it is also true that he cannot get rid of the poison. Anyway, he is not in a hurry and will wait and see who can't bear it first.
The result was just as Lin Xiao expected. The two-headed scorpion giant was just pretending to be dead, but he was never fooled. The poison continued to torture him, and soon he couldn't help but get up again and pounce on him.
I couldn't catch up before and I can't catch up now. I want to run but I can't. I'm always hanging there.
The two-headed scorpion giant pretended to be dead several times, but he saw through it every time. Until the last time, he lay on the ground motionless. Lin Xiao waited for almost an hour before trying to go forward. He used the confinement spell to summon several thick stone hands from a distance to tie up the giant before he dared to go forward.
This time it was truly powerless. Even though he stepped forward to its presence, he could only weakly swing his huge scorpion tail and was unable to lift it.
This time he didn't need to be polite. He directly stabbed one of the heads in the forehead with a sword, stretched out his right hand and inserted it into the wound. The surging soul power gushed out and enveloped him. Countless souls that had lost their restraints surrounded him and formed a death zone around him.
He spent a lot of effort to absorb the soul power of the two-headed scorpion giant, and obtained a total of more than 30,000 soul powers, which was almost as much as he had accumulated in the past few years.
Then it took a lot of effort to dismember the two-headed scorpion giant. The two heads, the huge scorpion tail and the limbs were all chopped off. After processing, they can be made into magic weapons. The blood in the whole body was drained and used as a material for potions, or it can be used to refine blood essence. Bloodline wizards like these things very much, and the internal organs and the like are all useful.
After all, a monster comparable to the third level can be said to be full of treasures.
Fortunately, he had a storage ring on him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to deal with such a large corpse.
They brought the things back to the border town and processed all of them except the scorpion tail, harvesting a total of more than 1,300 magic stones.
This is still the most valuable scorpion tail that he has not sold. He has taken a fancy to the power and toxicity of the poison needle shot out from the scorpion tail and plans to make it into a powerful magic weapon.
Although he has become an official wizard, Lin Xiao now has basically no wealth and does not have many decent magic weapons on him.
Some of the magic weapons he had obtained before were low-level goods, which he did not like.
For the next two months, he stayed in the small town to refine scorpion tails, and at the same time spent money to buy a large amount of higher quality poison in preparation for the next hunt.
Three months later, Lin Xiao, who had completed his preparations, set out again and found another half-scorpion tribe. He used the same method to make them summon a new scorpion giant, and then poisoned it using the same method, harvesting another batch of souls.
However, the one killed this time was a one-headed scorpion giant, and the souls harvested were not as high as the previous two-headed scorpion giant. The accumulated souls were still more than 10,000 short of 100,000.
But he was not in a hurry at all, and accumulated souls slowly. Even after he killed several scorpion giants, his accumulated souls exceeded 100,000. He did not use secret methods to communicate with the weird master to complete the transaction, but continued to accumulate.
Although he will not devour these soul powers, he can collect a large amount of soul power and use the dissipated soul power to strengthen his strength and improve his mental strength.
The power of the soul itself is a manifestation of mental power, and a large part of the soul is mental power.
He can absorb the dissipated soul power and transform it into mental power, constantly improve his own spirit, and then transform it into magic power.
Moreover, with this, you will not need to spend huge amounts of money to buy potions for promotion in the future. You can directly use these soul powers to replace potions, which will be more effective.
Anyway, he has ten years, and not even half of that time has passed, so it would be a waste if he doesn't use such good things.
In the following days, Lin Xiao wandered in the wilderness, specifically looking for the tribe of half-scorpion people, and then luring the half-scorpion people to summon scorpion giants so as to hunt them.
With the successful refining of the tail of the two-headed scorpion giant he killed for the first time into a magic weapon, his hunting efficiency became even higher. He could kill some single-headed scorpion giants on his own without using poison. The magic weapon made of the tail needle could easily penetrate their hard shells and kill them alive.
Later on, he simply didn't need to go back. He wandered in the wilderness for a long time, and only went back every six months or so to clean up the spoils and earn a lot of magic stones.
His mental strength also continued to grow as more and more souls accumulated. He unknowingly crossed the gasification and liquefaction stages and naturally entered the crystallization stage. He was only one step away from being promoted to a second-level wizard. It was estimated that after accumulating for a period of time, he would be able to cross that level before the ten-year period arrived.
On this day, after killing several scorpion giants, Lin Xiao returned to the small town as usual to sell various materials. As soon as he entered the city, his powerful mental power immediately discovered that someone was secretly observing him.
After hesitating for less than two seconds, he decisively turned around and left.
The secret observer was stunned for a moment, then took immediate action.
Lin Xiao returned to the city gate and saw several soldiers driving people in and closing the gate. He immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. It was not that the local forces were coveting his money as he had imagined, but that a more powerful force was targeting him.
"Maybe my identity has been exposed?"
After much thought, this is the only possibility. After all, he often trades high-value materials here, so it's normal for him to be targeted and it's also normal for him to be discovered as a wanted person.
Then
"BOOM!"
He used brute force to force the city gate open and turned into a black shadow and rushed out of the city gate.
Just as he walked out of the city gate, Lin Xiao suddenly sensed something and turned around. He saw pedestrians on the street being knocked away by an invisible force. Screams were heard and a transparent silhouette rushed straight to the city gate.
"Crystal King Snake!"
The familiar appearance immediately reminded him of the tragic scene at that time. He immediately realized that Julian was in the city, and turned around and ran without hesitation.
This Crystal King Snake is still at the second level. Compared to the beginning when he couldn't even see the Crystal King Snake's appearance clearly, now he can see its shape with the naked eye, which shows that his strength is far stronger than before.
Of course, he may not be afraid of Julian even now. The main reason is that it is unclear who is the enemy and who is him. Who knows how many helpers he has brought with him? Wouldn't it be stupid to rush into him without knowing anything?
Leaving the city, the sky is high for birds to fly and the sea is wide for fish to jump, and you will dive into the wilderness and disappear without a trace.
The Crystal King Snake lost his trail after chasing for a while and wandered back and forth in the wilderness. Soon, Julian's figure appeared near the Crystal King Snake.
After not seeing him for a few years, he has become even stronger and has broken through to become a second-level wizard.
Flying in the air with the crystal king snake under his feet, he swung his sleeves and black spots flew in all directions.
After doing all this, he sat on top of the Crystal King Snake and snorted,
"Do you think you can get away?"
He took out a mirror and a transparent round bead with an illusory shadow in it. He threw the transparent bead onto the mirror. The glass mirror submerged the bead like water, causing ripples. As he cast a spell, the mirror began to change, and a crack covered with weeds somewhere in the wilderness appeared on the mirror.
"So it's here!"
With a pat on the crystal king cobra, the transparent snake quickly slid in a certain direction. From a distance, it looked like a person flying in the air.
However, before he could get close, Lin Xiao discovered something unusual. A black beetle flew back and forth several times near the crack in the ground. He was deeply impressed by the beetle and recognized it immediately. Knowing that he had been discovered, he crawled out of the crack and ran away.
Soon a small group of black beetles swarmed over and gathered into a black mask. Julian's voice came from inside:
"You want to kill me, right here."
