Chapter 784 Soul Hunting Bug

Blood Skull had obviously made preparations before coming. As soon as Xie He finished the introduction, he immediately led the other three people to bow and said, "Juniors, we meet the Hengxing Demon King, the Eight-legged Demon King, and the Immortal Linfeng."

Blood Skull's attitude was very respectful, but the Hengxing Demon King just nodded slightly, and then said lightly: "I have heard a little about Blood Skull's reputation. You are so free as pirates in the open sea, why do you want to join my Hengxing Island?"

Hearing this question, Blood Skull's face froze, and then said: "To be honest with the Demon King, we hijacked a spirit ship a few years ago. We originally thought that we could live a carefree life. Unexpectedly, the owner of the hijacked spirit ship has not come to the door yet, but it has attracted the covetousness of another group of pirates. After a confrontation, my people suffered heavy losses, but the pirates were unreasonable and wanted to kill us all. We had no choice but to come here."

When mentioning this matter, Blood Skull was full of grievances. If pirates want to rob a spirit ship, they need to do a lot of work, from gathering information, sending people to track, to setting traps, robbing, to cleaning up traces, and evading tracking. It takes several years to do it all. It can be said that if they don't open for three years, they will make a living for three years.

The last time they planned well, they finally robbed the spirit ship of Wantong Pavilion and obtained a lot of resources. They thought they could be free for a while, but they didn't expect that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind them. They were targeted by another stronger pirate.

After a fierce fight, most of the looted property was taken away, and two-thirds of the brothers under his command were lost. The white-faced pirate died in that fight. The strength of the blood skeleton was greatly reduced. He couldn't be a pirate. He was chased by the pirates again. He had no choice but to flee to this sea area and prepare to surrender to the hands of the rampant demon king.

There are many things that the blood skeleton doesn't want to say, but he knows that this Hengxing Island is not a place like other places. Since he has decided to surrender, he can't hide anything about it, otherwise he will not have a good future.

After the rampant demon king heard what the bloody skull said, he said expressionlessly: "So you came to me because you were desperate. But my rampant island is not a place for filth and corruption. You are pirates, and you do business without capital, which is incompatible with the style of my place."

The bloody skull seemed to have been prepared for this, saying: "Since we are here, we have given up the idea of ​​being pirates again. We will definitely behave ourselves in the future and will never make it difficult for the rampant demon king. In addition, I heard that the demon king is holding a celebration banquet, and we brothers have also prepared a small gift. I hope the demon king will not despise it."

After the bloody skull finished speaking, the yellow-faced pirate behind him hurriedly held out a box, then stepped forward a few steps and solemnly placed it on the table in front of the rampant demon king.

The rampant demon king had been pretending to be pretentious before, waiting for this moment. He wanted to come to him and let him take care of things for them. How could he do it without a gift? If the gift satisfies him, then he will join the team. If the gift is too shabby, then the Blood Skull will just go back to where it came from.

The box is not big, but it looks very delicate, so the things inside should not be too bad. Seeing that the Blood Skull has presented the gift, the rampant demon king did not care about being reserved and directly opened the box in front of him.

There was nothing else in the box, only a small black insect was suppressed by a talisman at the bottom of the box. The insect was about the size of a fingertip, with a black shell and a pair of black wings on its back. The black insect feet had barbs on them, which looked terrifying and hideous.

Before the rampant demon king could figure out what it was, the real person Lin Feng beside him had already exclaimed: "This... Is this a soul-hunting insect?"

Seeing that the Jindan cultivator was shocked by his gift, Blood Skull couldn't help but smile and said: "Real person Lin Feng is right. This is a fourth-level soul-hunting insect. It took me a lot of effort to get it, but it would be a waste of such a good thing if I kept it in my hands, so I took this opportunity to present it to the rampant demon king."

The soul-hunting insect is extremely rare, and few cultivators present can recognize it. It is precisely because of this that the rampant demon king did not call out its name at the first time. However, seeing the expression of real person Lin Feng, everyone also understood that this soul-hunting insect must be an extraordinary treasure, otherwise they would not react so strongly. So other people asked what the soul-hunting insect was.

Someone who knew about the soul-hunting insect explained it in a low voice, and soon everyone figured out the origin of the soul-hunting insect.

Soul-hunting insects are a very special kind of spiritual insect. What they like most is to devour the thoughts and spirits of monks and monsters, and what they are best at is avoiding the detection of monks' thoughts. Don't think that he is easy to identify in the box, that is because he is suppressed by the talisman. Once the talisman is lost, few monks present can easily avoid his sneak attack.

Once the soul-hunting insects find an opportunity to attack, they will instantly drill into the bodies of monks and monsters, devour the thoughts and spirits to strengthen themselves, making it difficult to defend against. Although soul-hunting insects are powerful, they are extremely rare, so most people have never heard of their reputation.

No matter how famous the soul-hunting insects are, the one in front of them is only at the fourth level, which may pose a threat to the foundation-building monks, but the Jindan monks don't care. The reason why Lin Feng Zhenren is so moved is because of his role. Soul-hunting insects devour the thoughts and spirits of monks and monsters, and store a lot of essence in their bodies. Once absorbed and refined by monks, they can greatly increase the strength of the monks' thoughts.

The divine consciousness of a cultivator plays a great role. It can be said that it directly affects the combat effectiveness of a cultivator. However, it is too difficult to improve the divine consciousness. Most cultivators can only practice step by step and improve the divine consciousness synchronously with their cultivation. Not everyone is as lucky as Qingyang. He met a senior master like the One-horned Ghost King early on and obtained the peerless technique of Concentrating the Mind that can condense the divine consciousness.

If this fourth-level soul-hunting insect can be completely refined and absorbed, it can increase the divine consciousness strength of ordinary foundation-building cultivators by about 20%. The effect on Jindan cultivators is slightly worse, but 10% is still possible. Don't underestimate this 10% strength. It can increase the actual combat ability of the cultivator by 10%, which is equivalent to an additional 10% of life-saving ability. The longer the cultivator lives, the more afraid of death he is. This soul-hunting insect can save his life to a certain extent, so his attraction to the cultivator can be imagined.

Just a fourth-level soul-hunting insect costs about two to three thousand spirit stones, which is not affordable for ordinary foundation-building cultivators. Generally, only Jindan cultivators have the financial resources to do so. The key is that there is no market for it. You can't find it normally, and there is no place to buy it. If this soul-hunting insect is put outside, even if the price is higher, it is estimated that many people will rush to buy it.
