Chapter 132: Gengar, the Ten Great Beasts
"Of course, there are also some hybrid soul beasts that survived with their strong survival ability and luck, thus becoming soul beasts with higher bloodlines, a brand new species. The Gold, Fire and Silver Wolves survived with their own abilities or luck, and then this kind of soul beast lineage appeared."
"As far as I know, the Gold Fire Silver Wolf inherited the strong physical qualities of the Gold Blood Wolf, and refined the various elemental attributes of the Silver Wolf, retaining the most suitable fire and light attributes. In other words, the Gold Fire Silver Wolf is not only a top-level soul beast, but also has top-level physical strength, and top-level light and fire attributes. It is very suitable to become the soul ring of the six-winged angel martial spirit."
After hearing this, Qian Renxue looked at Xia Liang with a strange look in her eyes. She had long heard that this brother was very proficient in many fields, but today she finally saw it for herself.
The best cooking skills, the most outstanding talent, and the best qualifications for the divine examination.
Now, in terms of knowledge, I am inferior to my grandfather.
A sixteen-year-old spirit master can master so many fields. In contrast, when I was in my twenties, what else did I learn besides lurking in the Tiandou Palace and scheming with the ministers?
Did I learn to poison people?
With a self-mockery in her heart, Qian Renxue suddenly showed a hint of shyness when she stared at Xia Liang again. She didn't know if she felt ashamed for wasting her time these years, or if it was the resonance of her martial spirit that was causing the trouble?
"Brother Xue. What do you think?" This was the third time Xia Liang asked the same question. The first two times he asked, Qian Renxue was staring at him but never gave an answer.
"Xiaoxue!" Qian Daoliu's voice interrupted Qian Renxue's thoughts. She then reacted, quickly turned away from Xia Liang's gaze, and adjusted her state.
"Brother Xue, what are you thinking about?" Xia Liang asked.
"I was thinking about what happened just now about the Golden Fire Silver Wolf." Qian Renxue responded without changing her expression. She found that she did learn something from the undercover plan. At least she did a good job in forbearance and disguise.
"So what do you think of the Golden, Fire and Silver Wolf?" Xia Liang asked.
Qian Renxue nodded, "Very good. I'll use it as my sixth spirit ring. Brother, I'll trouble you to help me find a spirit beast."
"Okay." After answering, Xia Liang looked at Qian Daoliu and suggested, "Great Priest, let's go deep into the core area of the Xingdou Great Forest. If we start searching from the core area, the probability of finding the 50,000-year-old Gold, Fire and Silver Wolf will be higher."
Qian Daoliu nodded with a smile. He had just discovered something interesting. It seemed that his granddaughter had more than just a love for her virtuous brother.
Although I don't know if it's due to the resonance between their martial spirits or what, if the two of them have a certain emotional foundation, then it wouldn't be evil for me to imitate my son and do what he did in the secret room. Instead, it would help the two of them.
As for Dugu Bo's granddaughter, there is no need to think too much about it, because Dugu Bo's granddaughter will not have the opportunity to become a god, and will inevitably die of old age in the human world in the future.
Half a month later.
Star Forest, core area.
In a cave.
Xia Liang, Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu, grandpa and granddaughter, were spending the night in a spacious cave.
It has been half a month since we entered the core area of the forest. Every day, we send thousands of black and purple will-o'-the-wisp fires to every area of the core area to search for the traces of the Golden Fire Silver Wolf, but there is still no news so far.
The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest is completely different from the core area of the Sunset Forest. When the black and purple will-o'-the-wisps are searching for soul beasts, they are very likely to be attacked by passing soul beasts.
The black and purple will-o'-the-wisps sent out every day were destroyed as soon as they left the range of mental perception.
In order to find the trace of the Golden, Fire and Silver Wolf as soon as possible, Xia Liang could only send out the more flexible and powerful Haunter to carry out the mission.
Haunter has a certain combat capability, and his flying height and reaction ability are very good. With him replacing the black and purple ghost fire in searching for soul beasts, the efficiency has been greatly improved.
While searching for the Golden Fire Silver Wolf in the core area, Xia Liang also ordered the Haunters to search for the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. One of these two hundred thousand year old soul beasts might become his seventh soul ring in the future, so he had to find their habitat first.
In addition to the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, Xia Liang also asked the Haunters to look for the million-year-old soul beast Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Many years ago, he had explored the Far North and discovered that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had already moved southwards and might have arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.
If you can find the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm before the fierce beast, you will make a lot of money. Because after the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon mutates into the dark devouring attribute, the corpse and spirit ring of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm will be its best nutrients.
After devouring the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, a million-year-old soul beast, the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon's cultivation level will surely increase dramatically.
At this time, inside the cave.
In front of the fire.
Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue were tasting the delicious meal Xia Liang made from the meat of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
While eating, Qian Renxue was also telling Qian Daoliu about Xia Liang's experience as Master Xia, the top chef of Tiandou Royal Academy.
Xia Liang himself sat cross-legged on the side, meditating with his eyes closed, and working hard to cultivate his soul power.
During the past half month, he secretly took and refined ten pieces of ten thousand year old cold marrows. After enduring and absorbing them through the energy of ice and fire, his soul power only increased by one level.
Now it is level 66 soul power.
While meditating, Xia Liang was also practicing actual combat with Tang Hao in the spiritual world. With this God of Killing as a sparring partner, he would be able to adapt to more dangerous and life-threatening battles when he enters the City of Slaughter in the future.
After finishing his training, Xia Liang did not leave the spiritual world. As his mind became more focused, a ball of black and purple ghost fire gradually emerged in the gray spiritual world.
Under the control of thoughts, the black and purple will-o'-the-wisp gradually turned into the appearance of Haunter.
Then, a strange scene appeared.
Haunter's white triangular eyes suddenly turned red, and the corners of its mouth curled up with a hint of a smile. It was an evil smile, and when it smiled, it revealed a row of big white teeth.
What's even more bizarre is that Haunter actually grew a lower torso and legs like the skeletal Susanoo in half-human form, but these legs are a bit short.
After a series of changes, Haunter's entire body was wrapped in wisps of black air into a ball of light like a total solar eclipse.
At the moment when the ball of light exploded into powder, the appearance and image of Haunter floating in the spiritual world had changed greatly.
At this time, Haunter's appearance was dark purple all over. The two claws that were separated from the body were connected to the body and turned into two short arms. Its lower body also had equally short legs and a short and pointed tail.
Compared with before, Haunter now looks like a purple fat man with complete hands and feet. He always has a smile on his mouth, and his row of big white teeth is very conspicuous.
If Haunter is an upgraded version of Gastly, then the Haunter in front of us, which has grown two legs and a drastic change in appearance, is a higher-level evolved form.
Xia Liang named it Gengar.
At the same time that Haunter evolved into Gengar, the Haunters that were searching for the Gold, Fire, and Silver Wolves in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest also turned into Gengars. Without receiving any orders, they continued to search for soul beasts in the forest.
I stayed in the spirit world for about an hour, letting the three Gengars and the different-colored Gengar fight.
Through observation, it was found that Gengar not only possesses all the abilities of Haunter, but can also condense the ultimate dark attribute into a shadow ball and throw it out.
As a heterochromatic Gengar who has taken the magical herb Snow Swan Kiss, in addition to Shadow Ball, he can also combine the extreme dark attribute with the virus attribute to form an attack move called Poison Bomb.
The toxicity and power of the poison bomb are five times that of the black poison fog. If a peak soul king is hit by a poison bomb, even if he does not die, he will die suddenly due to the thousands-fold growth of the virus.
In terms of combat power, the heterochromatic Gengar was enough to rival a peak Soul Emperor. The other Gengars had varying strengths, but they could easily kill any Soul Lord in seconds.
At this time, a Gengar origin in the different space became restless.
After receiving the information from Gengar's origin through the connection of soul power, Xia Liang was delighted. The Gengars who were looking for soul beasts in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest discovered a lake full of life.
Although the Gengars were destroyed instantly, from the visual sharing transmitted back, there was a monster with a bull's head and a snake's body soaking in the lake, and a giant ape was standing on the lakeshore.
What surprised Xia Liang even more was that there was a girl with scorpion braids and rabbit ears sitting on the giant ape's shoulder.
Not only this girl, but also the giant ape had seen them before. They were the 100,000-year-old soul beast Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape. The monster with a bull's head and a snake's body soaking in the lake should be another 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Azure Bull Python.
According to the original description, the lake where the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python live is called the Lake of Life.
What Xia Liang couldn't figure out was that the current timeline was during the Elite Tournament Qualifiers, but Xiao Wu didn't participate in the Elite Tournament with Tang San?
Could it be that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect attacked her, forcing her to return to the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python?
Or, Tang San and Xiao Wu were afraid of being targeted by Poison Douluo again, so they didn't participate in the Elite Tournament?
If Xiao Wu returned to the Star Dou Great Forest, where would Tang San go?
He didn't think too much about this matter, and his attention was already on the information sent back by another Geng Gui Origin. After half a month of carpet searching, he finally found the trace of a Golden Fire Silver Wolf.
After finishing his meditation, Xia Liang said to Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue who were chatting, "We found it. It's the Gold, Fire and Silver Wolf with a cultivation level of nearly 50,000 years."
night.
Star Forest, core area.
This is not the Lake of Life, but just an ordinary lake a hundred meters wide. The mirror-like bright lake surface reflects the shadow of the crescent moon.
As a strange wind blew, waves began to form on the calm surface of the lake.
A golden-armored giant beast about five meters in size walked out from the dense bushes and went straight to the edge of the lake.
The lake surface reflected the golden light from the giant golden-armored beast, and the dark surroundings suddenly became brightly lit.
The giant golden-armored beast was a wild wolf with a silver body, but its limbs were burning with golden flames.
If you look closely, you will find that the silver giant wolf is covered with hair, which is actually a kind of high-temperature resistant silver scales. Brilliant golden flames gush out from the gaps between each scale, causing the surrounding air to distort.
In addition to its silver-scale-like hair, the silver giant wolf also has a crescent-shaped tail.
It is recorded in ancient books about soul beasts that they have a head like a wolf, a tail like the moon, a body burning with gold and fire, and are top-grade dual-attribute soul beasts.
Thousands of meters away, Xia Liang used his perspective to clearly see that the giant silver wolf drinking water on the lakeshore was exactly the Gold, Fire and Silver Wolf that Gengar and the others had discovered.
Qian Daoliu also used his spiritual power to see the existence of the Golden Fire Silver Wolf. Just as he was about to capture it alive, Xia Liang suddenly raised his hand to stop him, "Great Priest, wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Qian Daoliu asked.
Xia Liang did not reply. His external eye bones activated, his pupils turned dark gold, and his perspective increased.
His sight broke through the heavy trees in front of him, and what came into Xia Liang's sight was another huge soul beast.
This soul beast is over ten meters long and looks like an extremely majestic lion, but it has three identical heads, each of which is over two meters in diameter, and its terrifying canine teeth emit a red-gold luster.
The three heads simultaneously stared at the Golden Fire Silver Wolf that was drinking water. Surprisingly, the seemingly ferocious Golden Fire Silver Wolf actually retreated a few steps timidly, then crawled on the ground and dared not move.
Xia Liang was shocked when he saw this three-headed soul beast, because with his clairvoyant ability he saw that the skeleton of the soul beast was dark gold in color, indicating that all the bones in its body were the embryonic form of soul bones, which was only the case with soul beasts that were 100,000 years old.
However, the color of the soul power flowing in the body of this three-headed soul beast is not red, but orange-gold.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Liang suddenly realized that the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest is not only the lair of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, but also the lair of the group of ferocious beasts during the Peerless Tang Sect period.
Could this three-headed soul beast be a beast that has cultivated for more than 200,000 years?
Xia Liang quickly reviewed the description of the beast in the original novel, Peerless Tang Sect, and soon had some clues. Among the beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest, the soul beast with three heads is called the Red King. Its body is a three-headed red demon mastiff, with some pure blood of a true dragon.
Judging from its appearance and cultivation characteristics, this three-headed soul beast matches the description and should be the ferocious beast Red King.
Qian Daoliu also sensed the presence of the Red King and couldn't help but frown. He could never have imagined that he would discover a soul beast with a cultivation history of more than 100,000 years on this trip.
As expected, there are monsters that subvert common sense living in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Just when the Golden, Fire and Silver Wolf was crawling on the ground and dared not move, another soul beast suddenly walked out from the side of the Red King.
This was a soul beast that had never existed in Xia Liang's memory. It was over three meters long, eight feet tall at the shoulders, and covered with a layer of bright golden hair.
The overall shape of this soul beast is very similar to that of a lion, but its four claws are like dragons, and under each dragon claw there is a ball of golden flame. Its mouth is also longer than that of a lion soul beast, and under its hair, there seem to be fine golden scales.
In addition to its normal two eyes, it also has a third vertical eye.
Is this the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?
Xia Liang remembered that the original novel said that the Red King was the patriarch of the three-headed red demon dog clan and also the bodyguard of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. So the one who appeared with the Red King should be the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
