LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 86: Chapter 86
Chapter 86 Red-Eyed Tree Demon King
After the red-eyed tree demon's black vines dragged the corpse of the human-faced demon spider in front of it, it did not eat it on the spot. Instead, it hid the corpse of the human-faced demon spider in the huge and dense tree canopy above its head.
After taking a quick look at the surroundings to make sure no soul beasts or soul masters had discovered its whereabouts, the red-eyed tree demon anxiously ran towards the distant valley.
The two feet formed by the roots and the two hands formed by the branches quickly switched back and forth while running, looking like athletes sprinting 100 meters on the track.
Xia Liang couldn't help but stare in a daze. He found that this red-eyed tree demon was really a spirit, and its every move was imitating human behavior.
Using food-related soul skills to block his own breath and mental detection, Xia Liang activated the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone skill to fly, and quickly followed the direction of the red-eyed tree demon.
Since it possesses undead attributes, this red-eyed tree demon was most likely attracted by the aura of the Undead Skeleton Martial Spirit.
If you want to hunt it as the fourth soul ring, what kind of soul skill will be given to the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul?
There seemed to be no information about this red-eyed tree demon in the soul beast knowledge I had learned before.
However, the soul beast manuscript given by Yu Xiaogang recorded a plant soul beast called the Demon Eye Demon Tree.
This type of soul beast is just a rare high-level plant, and does not have top-level blood like the Blue Silver Emperor.
In the plant book classification section of the Tiandou Library, there are illustrations and records of high-level plant soul beasts such as the Demon Eye Demon Tree.
The red-eyed tree demon that just stole the corpse of the human-faced demon spider is almost 80% similar to the demon-eyed demon tree in appearance.
The only difference is the body color.
The general demon eye tree is dark green in color, and the eyes growing on the trunk are golden yellow. It possesses three attributes: spirit, poison and wood.
The red-eyed tree demon, on the other hand, is dark black all over, with blood-red eyes. So far, it has only been discovered that it has undead attributes.
This special attribute is either inherited from the parents' bloodline, or awakened by chance after a death.
Apart from Ghost Douluo, Xia Liang is the most familiar with this.
He felt that the red-eyed tree demon he was chasing at the moment was undoubtedly a mutant species of the demon-eyed demon tree clan. Judging from the fluctuations of soul power in its body, it seemed to be somewhat similar to soul beasts such as the bone dragon.
Bone dragons are of space and darkness attributes.
The red-eyed tree demon chose to run away from its original location instead of moving through space, which shows that it has no spatial attributes.
Then the energy fluctuations in its soul power that are similar to those of the bone dragon are likely to come from the dark attribute.
In other words, in addition to its undead attributes, this red-eyed tree demon should also possess a trace of dark power.
In addition to the series of behaviors that imitated human running and thinking, this red-eyed tree demon's intelligence is surprisingly excellent, which shows how powerful its spiritual attributes are.
Spiritual attribute was originally one of the abilities of the Demon Eye Demon Tree.
Xia Liang was curious about how this red-eyed tree demon could have the two rare and powerful attributes of darkness and undead at the same time.
The original book's fifth of the ten great beasts, the Ten Thousand Demon King, was actually the Demon Eye Demon Tree.
If this red-eyed demon tree were allowed to cultivate to the same level as the Ten Thousand Demon King, with its dual attributes of darkness and undead, it would probably become a more powerful and difficult being than the Ten Thousand Demon King.
In the original novel, the King of Ten Thousand Demons had the potential to cultivate into a ferocious beast because he was lucky and ate a magical herb growing next to him.
Could it be that this red-eyed tree demon also had such luck that there happened to be a fairy grass-level plant growing next to it, and it mutated into its current appearance after eating it?
Regardless of how he guessed, Xia Liang was sure that the red-eyed tree demon he was tracking at this time was definitely a top-level plant soul beast with the potential to cultivate into a fierce beast.
If we let it go now, with its sophisticated thinking ability, it would be difficult to find it again in the future.
About ten minutes passed.
The red-eyed tree demon ran into a misty valley. The surrounding mountains were high and the valleys were low, and there was a lush bush in the valley.
The valley forest in front of us looks gloomy, giving people a feeling that they may be ambushed at any time.
With the ability of X-ray vision, Xia Liang was not afraid of being ambushed by soul beasts. What he was afraid of was suddenly encountering a difficult social soul beast like the Wind Demon Wolf.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, facing a group of wind wolves alone, even if the opponent's cultivation is not high, they will be exhausted to death by their wind-attribute agility.
After all, a soul master's physical strength and soul power are limited, not to mention that he is just a level 40 quasi-soul master, who definitely cannot withstand the attack of a group of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
After inserting five bone dragon daggers into the bushes at the entrance of the valley forest, Xia Liang checked the food-related soul skills stored in the three-color ring.
There are only a few chicken legs left from the chef, and the food made by other soul masters has also been almost consumed, but it should be enough to support this soul hunt.
In fact, there is no need for a fierce battle. With the newly obtained Susanoo bow and remote attack, plus the assistance of the effects of the Undead Realm, it is entirely possible to shoot a full-strength arrow when the Red-Eyed Dryad has let down all its defenses.
In this way, even if you cannot kill the Red-Eyed Tree Demon, you can wait until you have severely damaged it and then fight it in a duel, and your chances of winning will be greatly improved.
In the valley forest.
In a cold and mysterious stone forest.
After escaping back to its lair, the red-eyed tree demon used two black vines to throw the corpse of the human-faced demon spider hidden in the tree canopy above its head to the ground.
As a poisonous plant in the past, it used to feed on poisonous soul beasts. Now that its poison attribute has changed to undead attribute, it still has the habit of eating poisonous soul beasts.
The human-faced demon spider is very cunning and extremely sensitive, so it is not easy to hunt this kind of soul beast for food.
Now there is a ready-made one, with the greedy instinct of soul beasts, how could they let it go?
Moreover, this is the corpse of a human-faced demon spider with a cultivation level of 2,000 years. If they eat up all its flesh and blood, they may be able to break through to the level of 10,000 years.
Two branch arms stretched out, and the ten fingers of the red-eyed tree demon's arms turned into sharp black vines.
Accompanied by a violent sound of breaking through the air, ten black vines instantly flew into the body of the human-faced demon spider.
Under the operation of the dark attribute soul power, the black vines began to extract the blood and flesh energy from the body of the human-faced demon spider.
From three hundred meters away, Xia Liang could clearly see through his X-ray eyes that the ten vines that had pierced into the body of the human-faced demon spider were wriggling like living things. With every thrust, the entire body of the human-faced demon spider would shrink in size.
The way this red-eyed tree demon eats is comparable to the devouring ability of the human-faced demon spider.
Xia Liang figured it out. No wonder the red-eyed tree demon would risk its life to snatch the corpse of the human-faced demon spider. It turned out that it also had the ability to devour, which should be given by the dark attribute.
Although no one knows how it mutated, there is no doubt that the red-eyed tree demon in front of us is the nightmare of small soul beasts, an evil killer, just like the human-faced demon spider.
The red-eyed tree demon can quickly improve its cultivation by extracting the blood and flesh energy of its prey, so the blood and flesh energy of the red-eyed tree demon itself must be huge enough.
The Undead Skeleton Martial Soul just happens to provide the soul ring of flesh and blood. It seems that this red-eyed tree demon is more suitable than the Shadow Lord to become the fourth soul ring of the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul.
The swallowing process took less than three minutes.
The 1.5-meter-tall human-faced demon spider had shriveled up to the point where only a shell of skin remained.
Not only the flesh and blood, but also the body limbs were completely devoured by the red-eyed tree demon.
A cold and dark energy burst out from the body of the red-eyed tree demon.
A strange scene appeared. The whole body of the red-eyed tree demon suddenly rose taller, and golden textures appeared on every leaf of the trunk and crown. The veins of the black leaves turned completely golden.
The pair of blood-red eyes in the middle of the tree trunk were even more eerie than before.
Xia Liang clearly saw that the red-eyed tree demon, which was originally ten meters tall, had changed greatly in both its soul power and aura after completing the entire transformation process.
It is obvious that his cultivation has broken through to ten thousand years and turned into a tree demon king.
Since coming to Douluo Continent, this was the first time that Xia Liang witnessed the entire process of a soul beast breaking through the bottleneck of its cultivation and advancing to the next level.
With his clairvoyance, he clearly saw that the flow of soul power in the red-eyed tree demon's body had completely changed from dark purple to black.
This red-eyed tree demon king is already a true ten thousand year old soul beast.
