"Yeah. That makes sense. Then starting tomorrow, we will use our night time to search for soul beasts."
Teacher Mo said worriedly, "However, it is very dangerous to move in the Soul Beast Forest at night, Ahliang. You must stay by my side at all times. Rest tonight and get enough rest."
"Okay. Thank you for keeping watch." After saying that, Xia Liang stood up and walked back into the tent.
Teacher Mo continued to sit in front of the oven and eat barbecue.
After returning to the tent and thinking it over again and again, Xia Liang suddenly walked out of the tent as if he had made a decision.
Teacher Mo looked at Xia Liang in confusion, "Do you also have the habit of peeing before going to bed?"
"I didn't come out to pee. Mr. Mo, I want to show you something."
As he spoke, Xia Liang released his Skeleton Martial Spirit, and the purple-black aura condensed around his body into black-purple ribs that covered his entire body.
The tenth level soul power is injected into the skeleton martial soul, and the undead attribute is activated.
Xia Liang raised his hand and waved. Between him and Teacher Mo, a whooshing sound was heard, and groups of black and purple ghost fires the size of a human head were ignited one after another.
Looking at the will-o'-the-wisp fires arranged in a line, Teacher Mo was stunned for a moment. These will-o'-the-wisp fires appeared out of thin air like ghosts, giving people a spooky and strange feeling.
If Tang Hao were here, he would definitely discover that the eerie and strange aura contained in these clusters of black and purple ghost fires is actually the same as the aura on Ghost Douluo, which is the aura from death.
Or perhaps it was the breath of a ghost.
Having died once, Xia Liang, with the blessing of the skeleton martial spirit, became a living dead who is both human and ghost, just like Ghost Douluo.
As an extremely yin thing, he is not afraid of the extremely yang and hot sunlight, but the black and purple ghost fire summoned by activating the undead attribute is afraid of sunlight.
Therefore, this ability is only available at night.
After coming back to his senses from the surprise, Teacher Mo subconsciously stood up and assumed a fighting stance.
The twenty black and purple ghost fires lined up in a row in front of me were so eerie and terrifying that they gave people a sense of threat.
"These will-o'-the-wisp fires are the inherent attributes of the skeleton spirit. After the fire spirit is possessed, can't it allow the spirit master to have the ability to control and use fire?"
After listening to Xia Liang's explanation, Mr. Mo's tense spirit finally relaxed a little, and he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Does your skeleton martial spirit have fire attributes?"
"I guess so. Anyway, these will-o'-the-wisp fires are generated by the attributes of my martial spirit."
Having already exposed the power of the undead to outsiders, we must definitely not tell them that this is the power of the undead.
Therefore, Xia Liang could only vaguely describe the undead attribute of the Skeleton Martial Soul as fire attribute.
Fortunately, there are many kinds of martial souls, even shadow martial souls can have fire attributes.
Then it is not surprising to have a skeleton martial spirit with fire attribute.
Teacher Mo seemed to believe this explanation. After knowing the origin of these black and purple will-o'-the-wisps, his panicked expression turned into a bitter smile. "What are you doing making these will-o'-the-wisps? You're not trying to scare me, are you?"
"Of course not. These will-o'-the-wisp themselves have no combat power and are more easily destroyed than the blue silver grass. But they can float in the air like disembodied ghosts and act according to my will."
After hearing this explanation, Teacher Mo was stunned. Although he was not a top-notch expert, he could still analyze the strengths and weaknesses of certain abilities.
If these will-o'-the-wisps can really act according to the will of their masters, then wouldn't the ability effect granted by this martial soul attribute be comparable to some kind of reconnaissance soul skill?
"Innate skill?" Teacher Mo said this word subconsciously.
"What is that?" Xia Liang pretended to be ignorant.
Teacher Mo said excitedly, "The innate skills of a martial soul do not need to be acquired by absorbing spirit rings. They are possessed when the martial soul awakens. Martial souls at the level of the Ant King and the Ant Queen are born with the ability to drive ants, and even have a good suppressive effect on ant martial souls or spirit beasts."
"As far as I know, only high-quality martial souls can have innate skills. Ah Liang, although your skeleton martial soul is only in the ribs, it is undoubtedly a high-quality martial soul. No wonder you have an innate fifth-level soul power."
"Teacher Mo, I don't understand what you are saying." Xia Liang tried to change the subject, "Let's talk about how to find soul beasts. I can only summon these will-o'-the-wisp fires at night. Next, we can look for soul beasts by ourselves during the day, and let these will-o'-the-wisp fires help us find them at night, which will greatly improve the efficiency."
"Yes. If these will-o'-the-wisps can act according to your will, they can definitely help find soul beasts." Teacher Mo's eyes flashed with a strange look, "Aliang. With only level 10 soul power, how many will-o'-the-wisps can you summon?"
"If I control the consumption of my soul power, I can summon a maximum of 20 will-o'-the-wisp." Xia Liang thought for a moment before saying, "But correspondingly, the more will-o'-the-wisp I summon, the worse their quality will be, and they will be easily dissipated by external forces."
"The quality is not important. The key is that it can move independently." Teacher Mo asked with interest, "How many meters can the will-o'-the-wisp you summon move?"
"My will-o'-the-wisps are only affected by external forces and sunlight. They are not limited by distance or other factors. As long as they are not destroyed, they can move freely according to my will."
"That's great, Aliang. I asked you to join my mercenary group before because I wanted to take you out to see the world as a senior. I also wanted to keep you in the mercenary group as a cook or do odd jobs. Now your ability of will-o'-the-wisp is just right for the job of finding soul beasts."
Teacher Mo walked up to Xia Liang and said excitedly, "Think about it. We rely on manpower to search for soul beasts during the day. At night, we rely on these will-o'-the-wisps. It's non-stop 24 hours a day. How efficient would it be to search for soul beasts?"
"Moreover, we can also let these will-o'-the-wisps explore dangerous places that we dare not set foot in, and even let them track the soul beasts we need, or interfere with the soul beasts' pursuit to buy time to escape. Your innate skills are simply magical skills for the mercenary group!"
"Yes." Xia Liang also thought so. This was why he was confident that as long as he had enough knowledge reserves about soul beasts, he would be able to find a favorite soul beast as a soul ring for his skeleton martial soul.
Thanks to his increasing proficiency in the use of the Skeleton Martial Soul in the past two years, he was able to create the ability to summon will-o'-the-wisp through the undead attributes.
"The Nether Ghost Bear mostly appears at night. And my will-o'-the-wisp can only be used at night." Xia Liang suggested, "Teacher Mo, let's try using the will-o'-the-wisp these few nights. If we still can't find a soul beast like the Nether Ghost Bear, we can only consider using other soul beasts as soul rings."
Teacher Mo nodded.
After reaching a consensus, Xia Liang raised his hand and waved. Twenty groups of black and purple will-o'-the-wisp fires lined up in a row flew in all directions as if they had received an order.
At the same time, a feeling of weakness arises.
Xia Liang's only level 10 soul power has been almost consumed.
It doesn't actually take much soul power to summon a will-o'-the-wisp.
However, I am still unfamiliar with the control of soul power consumption.
As a soul master, learning to accurately control the consumption of one's own soul power is also a compulsory course.
