Chapter 108: Catching Savages
After hearing what the silver cat said, Yuan Ming closed his eyes and began to sense the soul raven in his mind. After a while, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The silver cat was slightly surprised to see his expression change.
Having been with Yuan Ming for quite some time, it knew that Yuan Ming had a calm personality and was not a person who would easily show his emotions. The ability that could make him lose control of his expression was probably quite good.
After a while, Yuan Ming opened his eyes and his expression returned to calm.
"How?" the silver cat asked.
"Travel far..." Yuan Ming said.
With this ability, his soul can travel far away in the form of a raven. According to Yuan Ming's own estimation, the distance is about ten miles, which is very convenient for detecting the enemy.
Unlike the soul leaving the body, when performing the long journey, it does not affect the actions of his body.
Moreover, his soul raven is almost the same as the real white-feathered raven. Unless a high-level cultivator with strong soul power can quickly discover it, it is extremely difficult for others to detect it.
"That's it?" The silver cat was surprised.
"There is another one, soul collision." Yuan Ming continued.
This is the only attack ability of the Soul Raven at present, that is, to rush into the opponent's sea of consciousness, collide with the opponent's soul, and severely damage the enemy's soul while collapsing. It is an ability that hurts both sides.
However, the collapsed Soul Raven only needs to recuperate for a while before it can be re-condensed in the sea of consciousness with soul power.
When the silver cat heard this, his pupils of different colors flickered slightly, and a light flashed in his eyes. The voice of doubt sounded again in Yuan Ming's sea of consciousness:
"If I'm not wrong, there should be another ability, right?"
"No more." Yuan Ming shook his head.
"Humph, those two abilities are not enough to make you unable to hold back the joy on your face." The silver cat sneered.
"Okay. I knew I couldn't hide it from you. There is indeed another ability, which is feeding souls." Yuan Ming was stunned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled.
He didn't want to tell the silver cat about this ability. He couldn't reveal everything to the other party.
But obviously, the other party was not so easy to fool.
"It's feeding souls. Your luck is really good." The silver cat couldn't help but sigh.
Soul feeding gave Yuan Ming's soul raven the ability to devour residual souls. It can replenish and enhance Yuan Ming's soul power by devouring the souls of the dead.
"Oh, really?" Yuan Ming said.
"This is the ability that many evil soul cultivators dream of." Silver Cat said jokingly.
Hearing this, Yuan Ming's heart skipped a beat. The reason why soul cultivators are not popular is that too many soul cultivators have embarked on the wrong path of devouring other people's souls in order to quickly improve their cultivation, and committed murder for this.
"Will this ability have any hidden dangers?" Yuan Ming frowned and asked.
"Of course there are hidden dangers. When devouring other people's souls, they often absorb the remaining memories of the souls. Think about the consequences." There was a warning in the voice of Silver Cat.
Yuan Ming frowned more and more as he listened. Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world, and the same is true for souls.
He had seen similar explanations in some classics before. This kind of memory that does not belong to oneself will collide and confuse the original memory. Once too much is absorbed, the memory will be extremely chaotic, and it may even fall into madness.
If he wasn't careful, he would have mixed into someone else's memory before he could recover his own. He might not even remember his own name by then.
"Overall, the three abilities are pretty good." Silver Cat's voice sounded in his mind at the right time.
"This is all thanks to your help." Yuan Ming thanked him sincerely.
"Next, you can practice the second level of "Mingyue Jue" with peace of mind and continue to strengthen your soul power. The source of all the power of soul cultivation lies in the powerful power of the soul, which is the foundation." Silver Cat reminded.
"I understand." Yuan Ming nodded.
He immediately sat cross-legged, holding the incense burner, intending to continue practicing under the moonlight, and suddenly heard the voice of Silver Cat sounding in his sea of consciousness:
"Let me have a look at your incense burner."
"You want to see it?" Yuan Ming picked up the incense burner and hesitated.
This incense burner saved his life several times, and it was the most precious thing on him.
"Why, are you afraid that I will snatch it away?"
The silver cat was disdainful. If it really wanted to snatch the incense burner, it would not have done so at all, and it would not have to wait until now.
"How could it be." Yuan Ming smiled and placed the incense burner in front of the silver cat.
The silver cat kept squatting, raised a paw, and gently placed it on the incense burner.
A silver light flashed on its paw.
Yuan Ming blinked and saw clearly that there was a delicate silver ring hidden in the paw hair, which was on the paw.
However, the silver light flashed, but nothing happened.
A hint of understanding flashed in the silver cat's heterochromatic pupils, as if verifying some conjecture.
"Take it back, this is not an ordinary thing, keep it well." Then, the silver cat pushed the incense burner back.
Yuan Ming hurriedly took it and held it in his arms.
"Continue to practice." The silver cat said.
Yuan Ming gathered his chaotic thoughts and began to practice "The Secret of the Dark Moon". A layer of moonlight enveloped his body, and the incense burner in his arms also emitted a faint, imperceptible glow.
When the silver cat saw this, it immediately put its paws under its head, lay down beside Yuan Ming, and closed its eyes.
Its body was also covered with a layer of light silver light, rising and falling slightly like the tide.
…
A few days later.
In a forest in southern Xinjiang, seven or eight burly men wearing animal skins and wearing ox-horn curved knives on their waists sat in a pile of rocks under the scorching sun.
Their skin was red and their muscles were bulging, looking like the "strong men" in the temple murals.
The leader was particularly burly, with a fierce face and bare upper body.
"Captain Hu Zha, why haven't you set off yet? Who are we waiting for?" A man with a dark blue tattoo on his face asked impatiently.
The fierce man was none other than the one who caught Yuan Ming and entered the Biluo Cave.
"I heard that a registered disciple of the Fire Refining Hall also accepted the mission to go out with us." Hu Zha said.
"How could these guys who are used to being pampered accept the mission of our Beast Slave Hall? They usually look down on us, and few of them take us seriously." The tattooed man asked in confusion.
"Who knows what's wrong with him." Hu Zha curled his lips, also looking impatient.
"If you ask me, we can just do this kind of work by ourselves. Why do we need to send out tasks? Isn't that just making things difficult for ourselves?" The tattooed man complained.
"That's not true... After all, we are doing dirty work that is shameful and cannot be done in the name of the sect. We may be targeted at any time. If we are ambushed by accident, a registered disciple will be very useful." Hu Zha grinned and laughed.
"That's true..." The tattooed man smiled.
"Remember, be polite when you see the registered disciple. You may need him at any time..." Before Hu Zha finished speaking, he saw a figure walking over from the end of the forest path.
The man was not wearing the uniform of a registered disciple of Biluo Cave, nor was he wearing a waist badge to prove his identity. He was wearing a bamboo hat on his head, covering most of his face.
When he came closer, he suddenly took off his bamboo hat and said with a smile: "Captain Hu Zha, long time no see."
"You are..." Hu Zha was stunned when he heard the words, and he didn't recognize the person in front of him for a while.
He thought for a long time before matching the handsome young man in front of him with the thin figure in his memory, but he was still a little unsure.
"You are the furry beast slave..." He could no longer remember the name of the young man in front of him, and of course he never cared about it.
"Yuan Ming." The young man smiled.
"Yes, yes, yes... Yuan Ming, is it really you?" Hu Zha finally couldn't hide his surprise and pointed at Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming nodded.
"Are you the disciple of the Fire Refining Hall?" Hu Zha asked.
"Yes, Captain Hu Zha will give you more advice on this mission." Yuan Ming said.
"Why did you take this mission?" Hu Zha looked at Yuan Ming, and a trace of vigilance arose in his heart.
He knew Yuan Ming's origin better than anyone else. It was he who personally captured Yuan Ming and a group of savages and sent them to the Shiwan Mountains.
"Of course it's for the 20 contribution points. Why, Captain Hu Zha doesn't welcome it?" Yuan Ming asked.
"How could that be? It's just..." Hu Zha hesitated.
"Captain Hu Zha, are you afraid that I will mind the past? Then you are really worrying too much. I still remember what you said when you sent me to Elder Huohuo." Yuan Ming smiled and didn't seem to mind at all.
At that time, he said that if Yuan Ming's savages could really embark on the path of cultivation, they should come back and thank him as a guide.
"Oh, those are all nonsense, don't take them seriously." Hu Zha couldn't help but feel a little panic.
"Captain Hu Zha, don't disbelieve me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Without you leading me into the mountain gate, I am afraid that I will only be an ignorant savage until I die." Yuan Ming smiled gently and spoke sincerely, and even he almost believed it.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Hu Zha was relieved when he saw that the other party's words were not false.
"Captain Hu Zha, rest assured. If there is any danger on the road, I will do my best to deal with it." Yuan Ming said.
"Haha, you are worrying too much. It's just dealing with some wild savages. At most, you can only be stronger. Why do you need to do it? You just need to relax and enjoy the scenery on the road." Hu Zha laughed.
"Okay, then we won't delay everyone's time. Let's get on the road now." Yuan Ming said.
Led by Hu Zha, the group headed towards the mountains and forests.
On the way, Yuan Ming and Hu Zha chatted with each other. Neither of them mentioned the matter of catching Yuan Ming in the past, and gradually became familiar with each other.
"Captain Hu Zha, what is the process of our catching savages? It's not a random search, right?" Yuan Ming asked.
Hu Zha smiled and said, "How is it possible? You have to know that catching savages is also a business. If we have something to buy, there will naturally be someone to sell it?"
"What do you mean?" Yuan Ming asked puzzled.
