late at night.
Two o'clock in the morning.
Outside the Ice Castle.
The cold wind was howling and the snow was vast.
Xia Liang suggested going out to summon more and higher quality black and purple ghost fires to help find soul beasts.
The head of the Shui family wanted to send someone to follow and protect him, but Xia Liang rejected his kindness on the grounds that the effect of the second soul skill should not be exposed in front of others.
After leaving the Ice Castle, Xia Liang put on his skates and, guided by a ball of black and purple ghost fire, slid along a path where there were few traces of soul beasts, heading towards a mysterious place.
Several balls of ghost fire were suspended in the air, monitoring the Shui family's every move in the name of searching for soul beasts, thus eliminating the possibility of being followed.
The Ice Castle is 2 km away.
On the ice field stands a huge rock.
The huge rocks have been completely frozen into ice, emitting a biting cold air.
When he arrived in front of the boulder, Xia Liang drank a mouthful of hot milk to keep warm and put away his skates. He found a five-meter-long skeleton lying under the boulder.
The bones were also frozen into ice.
Judging from the shape, it should be the skeleton of some kind of reptile soul beast.
"Is this a soul bone?"
Xia Liang clearly saw that on the left front leg of the soul beast's skeleton that was frozen into ice, there was actually a bone-like object with a strange shape that emitted light and soul power fluctuations.
The bone-like objects on the soul beasts that have soul power fluctuations should be soul bones.
The skeleton martial spirit was released, but unlike before, this time only the right half of the black and purple ribs covered the right half of Xia Liang's body.
This is a half-open martial soul state that can only be mastered after becoming more proficient in the use of the skeleton martial soul. It can reduce the martial soul's consumption of soul power.
The first soul skill, Netherworld Transformation, was activated, and a slender right arm bone grew out from the right half of the ribs.
Xia Liang used his mind to control the skeleton's right arm and clench it into a fist, then he blasted it down at the soul beast skeleton that had been frozen into an ice block.
Bang--
After a muffled sound, there was no sign of the ice on the soul beast skeleton being broken.
It can be seen how hard the ice formed by the cold air in the Far North is.
The second soul ring lights up, and the second soul skill Iron Bone is activated.
I saw a large amount of black and purple linear energy bodies like iron wires wrapped around the slender right arm of the skeleton, making the bones of the entire right arm full of flesh and blood, and the metacarpals and forearms swelled to be as strong and huge as scorpion claws.
The iron wire energy body wrapped around the skeleton's arm is actually condensed from the meridians and blood of soul beasts such as the Ironback Scorpion, and has inherited the steel hardness of the Ironback Scorpion.
Just as Liu Shu said, the second soul skill Iron Bones cannot make the Skeleton Martial Soul grow new arms, but it enhances the tough side of the Skeleton Martial Soul and greatly increases the hardness of its bones. Another biggest amplification effect is that it greatly increases the combat effectiveness of the martial soul, such as using weapons made of iron bones to fight and so on.
Although he currently only has level 23 soul power, with the skeleton giant hand state amplified by the first and second soul skills, Xia Liang can defeat the level 35 Liu Shu and even have the ability to fight against any three-ring soul master.
If even the giant skeleton hand cannot break the ice that freezes the soul beast skeleton, then the hardness of this ice is incredible.
The skeleton's fleshy right arm clenched into a fist again.
Xia Liang moved his mind, and the huge skeleton fist raised in the air suddenly smashed down.
Bang--
After a muffled sound, the ice on the soul beast skeleton shattered.
But only the ice was broken, and the five-meter-long soul beast skeleton was almost intact. From the hard bone texture, it can be judged that the soul beast skeleton came from some kind of soul beast with super defensive power, and its cultivation was at least more than a thousand years old.
The martial soul and soul ring were retracted into the body, the skeleton's ribs and arms turned into light and dissipated. Xia Liang squatted down and prepared to tear off the bone-like object on the left front leg of the soul beast skeleton.
When the hand grasped the bone-like object, one could clearly feel the fluctuation of soul power.
It really is a soul bone!
Xia Liang released his skeleton arm again, and then used all three hands to pull the soul bone off the soul beast skeleton. It took three minutes.
The left front leg of a reptilian soul beast is its left arm. Since the soul bone is produced in the position of the left arm, it should be a left arm bone.
The energy contained in the soul bone is greater than imagined. This left arm bone may be ten thousand years old?
Xia Liang didn't care about it. Anyway, he didn't plan to absorb it.
However, the discovery of this left arm bone must not be made known to the Shui family, otherwise not only would all efforts be in vain, but they might also be harmed.
After putting his left arm bone into the silver bracelet, Xia Liang took the silver bracelet off his wrist and stuffed it into the bottom of the surrounding boulders.
When you are about to leave the Far North, ask the alien skull to take it back.
"Hehehe."
A creepy laugh came from the sky, and a strange skull burning with black and purple flames flew in front of Xia Liang holding a ring in its mouth.
This is a ring with a peculiar shape, and there are three small squares of different colors engraved on the ring: red, green and yellow.
Xia Liang was delighted when he caught the three-color ring thrown by the alien skull.
Objects in the Far North will have a thick layer of ice condensed on their surface, but this three-color ring is not affected by the ice at all. This shows that its manufacturing material is very special. Coupled with its exquisite appearance, it is definitely a top-notch product.
Xia Liang tried to inject soul power into the three-color ring. As expected, it was a ring storage soul guide.
The three small grids engraved in red, green and yellow on the ring correspond to three storage spaces with huge capacity.
He injected soul power into the three small grids one by one. After some inspection, Xia Liang discovered that the red grids of the three-color ring contained basically weapons and protective gear, while the green grids contained various foods.
The small yellow grids are used to store sleeping bags, bedding, and other daily necessities.
It seems that this top-grade three-color ring soul guide is the relic of a soul master. After being baptized by ice and snow for countless years, it finally appeared on the ice field and was found by this alien skull.
The alien skull is a simple sketch skull created three years ago using black and purple ghost lights.
It is called a skull, but it looks more like a small floating ghost. It is only the size of a human head, with a round black head burning with black and purple flames, a pair of big white eyes, small black pupils and a mouth with a pair of fangs.
Xia Liang had felt that he had seen the alien skull somewhere before, and it turned out to be very similar to a Pokémon called Gastly.
Of course, there are no creatures from the Pokémon world in Douluo Continent. The alien skull that looks like Gastly is just an energy body that combines the attributes of the undead with soul power and mental power.
The difference between the alien skull and the black and purple ghost fire is that the alien skull has a mouth and eyes. Not only can it present what it sees in a more concrete way through the power of the soul, but it can also hold things in its mouth or bite them with its mouth, which makes it quite aggressive.
For the sake of convenience, the alien skull was also named Gastly.
It can be said that Gastly is the evolved form of the black and purple Will-O-Wisp. Both can be summoned in large numbers as long as the soul power and mental strength are sufficient.
In addition to the attack method of biting, the undead roars emitted by many Gastlys gathered together are like the call of wronged souls, which can cause greater or lesser soul shock to the targets within the range.
From now on, tasks such as searching for soul beasts, reconnaissance and surveillance, including interference and tracking of enemies, can all be completed by Gastly.
Of course, all of Gastly's actions, like the black and purple will-o'-the-wisp, are limited to the night.
There is currently no solution to the problem of fear of the sun.
"Good job, keep it up."
After touching Gastly's head, Xia Liang took out all the items stored in the three-color ring and threw them on the ice.
Without the protection of the storage soul guide, the beds, sleeping bags and other daily necessities were immediately covered with a thick layer of ice the moment they were thrown on the ground.
What was strange was that the food such as chicken legs and carrots thrown on the ground turned into light and dissipated.
Could it be that these foods are the soul skills of food-type soul masters?
Did it disappear because it lost the protection of the storage soul guide?
Doesn't that mean that this three-color ring soul guide can preserve the food made by the food-type soul master for a long time?
