Chapter 787 Xiao Hei's Talent
Xiao Lin glanced at the Soul-Snatching Orb in front of him, and without hesitation, a dark green hand appeared on his arm and reached out to grab it.
As he was about to grab the Soul-Snatching Orb, countless emerald green light spots flashed from the Soul-Snatching Orb. Each of these light spots was half an inch long, just like dense arrows. In an instant, the spiritual light hand that Xiao Lin had conjured up was impacted and turned into dots of spiritual light and disappeared.
Xiao Lin was surprised. He didn't expect that the Soul-Snatching Orb could actually attack. The spiritual power hand manifested by his own magic power was obviously ineffective against it.
After a little thought, Xiao Lin showed a firm expression on his face. He stretched out his right hand, and the whole arm and palm appeared dense golden scales, and he grabbed the Soul-Snatching Orb.
As he was about to catch it, a green halo suddenly shot out from the Soul-Snatching Orb and shot straight towards Xiao Lin's eyebrows.
The dizziness and vertigo that he had felt just now reappeared, and at the same time, Xiao Lin felt a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness. The text of the Bu Tian Jing immediately began to run wildly, and a ball of white light flashed between his eyebrows, resisting the invasion of the green halo.
Taking advantage of this moment of clarity, Xiao Lin grabbed the soul-sucking bead and pulled it off the tree trunk.
As soon as the soul-sucking bead left the tree trunk, Xiao Lin found that the dizziness and the tingling in his sea of consciousness disappeared without a trace.
He looked at the thumb-sized emerald green bead in his palm. The bead was still flowing with a green halo. Xiao Lin stared at it for a while and felt a little dizzy again.
Xiao Lin hurriedly looked away, not daring to continue looking, and then took out a jade box, put the soul-sucking bead into it, and put it away.
After doing all this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but check his sea of consciousness. This check really scared him. It turned out that just when he collected a soul-sucking bead just now, his spiritual power had been consumed by as much as 30%.
Calculating this way, even if he tried his best, he could only pick two more soul-sucking beads at most.
Xiao Lin looked around and found no trace of the others. The branches over a thousand feet long covered a very large area. Even if they all came in to pick the soul-sucking beads, it was not easy for them to touch each other.
Xiao Lin pondered for a moment, then shot upwards. After flying hundreds of feet, Xiao Lin found a green halo not far to the left, which kept flashing.
Xiao Lin was delighted, knowing that this was another soul-sucking bead.
He slowed down his speed and carefully passed through a large area of tree trunks and leaves. On a branch as thick as an arm a few feet away, there grew a thumb-sized soul-sucking bead.
These soul-sucking beads seemed to be about the same size, only the size of a thumb, emerald green, flashing with a green halo, and this halo was like a emerald green vortex. If you look at it for a long time, you will feel dizzy.
Xiao Lin did not dare to look directly at it, but showed a thoughtful expression. After a moment, the star ring on his hand flashed with spiritual light, and the five-color purple barrier turned into a net about the size of a foot, and flew towards the soul-catching bead.
When the five-color purple barrier was still three feet away from the soul-catching bead, the soul-catching bead once again sent out an emerald green light arrow. The purple sky barrier fired by the five-color purple barrier had no resistance to the emerald green light arrow and was directly penetrated.
After the purple light arrow shot at the body of the five-color purple barrier, the five-color spiritual light on it dimmed quickly, and it dimmed by half in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Lin was immediately startled, and instinctively drove his mind to take back the five-color purple barrier.
When he fell into his hand, he saw that the five-color purple barrier actually looked like it had lost its spirituality. If he had not reacted quickly enough, the five-color purple barrier would have lost its spirituality at this moment.
Once a spiritual treasure loses its spirituality, it is no different from an ordinary magic weapon.
Xiao Lin put away the five-color purple barrier. He finally understood that the green light arrows fired by the soul-sucking bead were like the blade of divine thought, which could directly attack the soul of the cultivator and the spirituality in the spiritual treasure.
Xiao Lin believed that even if he sacrificed the magic weapon, it would be useless. The magic weapon itself was also entrusted with a trace of his divine thought, so it could be driven at will. Once this trace of divine thought was killed, the magic weapon would lose control.
Until this moment, Xiao Lin understood the terribleness of the soul weapon. If he encountered a real soul weapon attack, if there was no corresponding soul weapon for defense, he would be almost powerless to fight back.
This also made Xiao Lin want to collect more soul-sucking beads. In the future, if he found a way to refine soul weapons, he could try to refine a soul weapon, even if it could only defend.
The only way to get the soul-sucking bead in front of him was to pick it up by hand.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Lin did not think of other ways to collect soul-sucking beads, so he could only plan to operate the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique and pick it up by hand.
At this time, the beast ring on his waist suddenly flashed a black light, and then Xiao Hei rushed to the dark tree trunk in front of Xiao Lin, and shot straight at the soul-grabbing bead in Xiao Lin's surprised eyes.
Xiao Lin was surprised, and instinctively wanted to drive his mind to summon Xiao Hei back. This soul-grabbing bead can capture the soul of a living creature in an instant, and Xiao Hei is no exception.
But then a scene that surprised Xiao Lin appeared. Xiao Hei sent a message of "rest assured" to Xiao Lin through his mind, and went straight to the soul-grabbing bead and bit it off the tree trunk.
Xiao Lin was stunned.
The soul-grabbing bead didn't work on Xiao Hei?
Xiao Lin was really confused. Although Xiao Hei had the innate magical power to ignore all restrictions, the Soul-Snatching Orb was not a restriction, but an attack on soul power.
Could it be that Xiao Hei's soul was stronger than his Nascent Soul cultivator?
This seemed a little unlikely.
At this time, Xiao Lin found that Xiao Hei seemed to have grown up a little bit, with a black fur flashing with black light. It was obvious that he had lived a very comfortable life during this period.
But this was not surprising. After Xiao Lin discovered Xiao Hei's innate magical power, he would send some spiritual stones into the beast ring almost every few days, so that Xiao Hei could eat more and more.
Xiao Hei stood up with his ears erect, came to Xiao Lin, and spit out the Soul-Snatching Orb from his mouth.
Xiao Lin reached out to take it, and then gently stroked Xiao Hei's head to express his approval. Xiao Hei was now one foot long, but his appearance had not changed much, and he was exactly the same as a black dog.
After discovering that Xiao Hei was not afraid of the green light arrows fired by the Soul-Snatching Orb, Xiao Lin was really happy.
Then he took Xiao Hei and continued to fly upward.
After flying for dozens of feet, Xiao Lin found another soul-sucking bead. This time, he directly drove Xiao Hei to pick it through his divine thoughts, while he stood aside and observed quietly.
As Xiao Hei rushed towards the soul-sucking bead, the soul-sucking bead obviously also felt the danger, and emitted a green halo, which surged towards Xiao Hei in waves.
Xiao Lin, who was standing next to him, suddenly noticed that when the green halo shot into Xiao Hei's eyes, Xiao Hei's eyes suddenly turned pitch black, just like a strange infinite space, with light gray vortices flashing inside.
As soon as those green halos entered the gray vortex, they immediately disappeared without a trace like a drop in the ocean.
Even though the soul-sucking bead emitted a halo, it still did not stir up any waves in Xiao Hei's eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hei came to the soul-sucking bead and bit it off.
Xiao Lin immediately showed a look of great joy. It was obvious that Xiao Hei had an innate ability to restrain the green halo emitted by the Soul-Snatching Orb. In this way, there would be no limit to collecting the Soul-Snatching Orb.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin began to search with Xiao Hei in the dense Ghost King Tree. As long as he found the Soul-Snatching Orb, he would let Xiao Hei collect it.
This process was almost effortless.
After just two hours, Xiao Lin had already picked eight Soul-Snatching Orbs and was still escaping towards the top of the Ghost King Tree.
Outside the Ghost King Tree, Shui Ruohan and others each found a clean place and sat cross-legged, but they did not enter into meditation. Instead, they looked up at the Ghost King Tree. The eight people who entered it had been in for nearly three hours, but no one came out.
I don’t know if they encountered danger.
Suddenly, Shui Ruohan saw a green light shooting down from the Ghost King Tree. After falling, it shot straight down not far from her. When the spiritual light dissipated, Lin Cang, whose face was pale, was revealed.
"Brother Lin, did you get anything?" Shui Ruohan looked at Lin Cang and said with a smile.
Lin Cang smiled bitterly and said, "This soul-sucking bead can actually launch soul attacks. I consumed all my spiritual power and only picked up one soul-sucking bead."
"This is already very powerful. It seems that Brother Lin's spiritual power is indeed gifted. This soul-sucking bead has a strong soul attack before it falls off the Ghost King Tree. Ordinary Yuanying cultivators will probably have their souls taken away in an instant."
As soon as Shui Ruohan finished speaking, he heard two "bangs." It seemed that something fell from the tree, and soon everyone found that there were two people lying under the Ghost King Tree.
"It's the Tianchi Patriarch and Fellow Daoist Wu from Xiankong Island."
Everyone flew up and came under the tree. They found that the Tianchi Patriarch and the cultivator surnamed Wu were already pale and their eyes were wide open, but they had lost their spirit.
"The two of them were obviously too greedy and forcibly picked the Soul-Snatching Orb, and their souls were devoured." After checking, Shui Ruohan sighed and spoke.
"Is this Soul-Snatching Orb so powerful? Even the souls of Yuanying cultivators like us can be taken away so easily?"
"As long as the Soul-Snatching Orb that has taken the souls of the two Taoists is taken away, can the two Taoists be resurrected?"
Shui Ruohan shook his head after hearing this.
"Before the Soul-Snatching Orb was picked, it was integrated with the Ghost King Tree. After the souls of the two Taoists were taken, they would be directly decomposed and absorbed by the Ghost King Tree. Even if the Ghost King Tree is cut off at this moment, the two Taoists cannot be saved."
As Shui Ruohan spoke, he waved his hand from a distance, and the star ring in the hand of Tianchi Patriarch immediately flew into the air and fell into Shui Ruohan's hands, and was taken into his arms.
The star ring of the cultivator surnamed Wu from Xiankong Island was taken away by one of his fellow disciples.
