Chapter 650
650 Tracking the soul-gnawing beast
The valley behind Holy Dragon City was currently filled with busy figures, bustling with activity.
According to the date, there would be another batch of new residents who had completed their special training today and would be teleported here from their original world.
At the same time, a group of soldiers and mercenaries were going to the overseas battlefield to participate in the search for barbarians.
If not for the large area of the back Valley, it would not have been able to accommodate all these people moving at the same time.
Although the scene was a little messy, the Holy Dragon City residents were already used to this kind of scene and were not too affected. They were still busy with their work in an orderly manner.
Unknowingly, the Holy Dragon City had become a giant, and its strength had become more and more powerful.
When the residents of the Holy Dragon City saw this scene, they also felt a sense of honor, and they were even more motivated to work!
At this moment, the water-like barrier on the bronze door trembled slightly. Soon after, Tang Zhen’s figure slowly walked out from the bronze door.
Behind him, there were 10 Lord-tier guards with stern faces and sharp auras!
The Holy Dragon City cultivator in charge of guarding the gate saw this and immediately raised his arm to salute, his face full of reverence.
The Holy Dragon city’s soldiers and mercenaries, who were preparing to set off, straightened their bodies at the same time. Their right fists heavily hit the chest area of their battle armors as they looked at Tang Zhen in unison.
These voices were in unison. After they were emitted, they immediately alarmed the nearby residents of Holy Dragon City, causing them to see Tang Zhen’s figure.
The originally noisy Mountain Valley immediately became quiet. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in Tang Zhen’s direction.
Many of the new residents had only heard of the legendary Lord of the city but had never seen him in person, so they were very curious.
As for the indigenous residents, their faces were filled with worship and fanaticism. Compared to the new residents, they were the ones who could benefit the most from Tang Zhen’s extraordinary nature!
Now, if anyone dared to say anything bad about Tang Zhen, these old residents would immediately turn hostile. It was even possible for them to directly pull out their knives!
Tang Zhen revealed a faint smile after seeing this scene. He nodded and chatted a little with the residents before leaving in a car.
The purpose of his return this time was for one thing, and that was to capture the soul-gnawing beast that was hiding somewhere and use it to deal with the totem master!
According to Tang Zhen’s understanding, the totem master’s ability was strange. He even possessed the ability to temporarily raise his cultivation after the barbarian’s blood sacrifice. He was really not easy to deal with.
It was also for this reason that if they wanted to deal with the totem master, they had to kill all the barbarians first. Otherwise, the totem master would be an almost invincible existence by relying on the blood sacrifice of the barbarians.
Unless they had the absolute power to crush him, it would be best to clean up the barbarians step by step before thinking about killing the totem master.
And this soul-gnawing beast was a trump card that Tang Zhen used to deal with the totem master.
This guy’s origin was mysterious. Before this, he had been entrenched in the big pit in front of the warship ruins. He had even stopped Tang Zhen and wanted to keep him there.
However, when Tang Zhen’s cultivation base increased and he planned to take revenge on this fellow, the soul-gnawing beast saw that the situation was not good and fled from that place without hesitation.
Previously, Tang Zhen did not have the time to pay attention to this fellow because of all the miscellaneous matters. He had also let it be free and unfettered outside.
Now that Tang Zhen was planning to deal with the totem master, he remembered the innate ability of the soul-gnawing beast. After all, this guy fed on spirit bodies and was simply the natural nemesis of the totem master!
Although he didn’t know that its current strength had yet to reach the king tier, Tang Zhen absolutely believed that this fellow’s strength had definitely been greatly reduced for some reason!
And its original strength was definitely not as simple as ordinary King-level!
In order to achieve one’s goal, one had to make use of all the resources that one could use. Tang Zhen had unknowingly learned this point.
So when he had some understanding of the totem Lord, he immediately turned his attention to the soul-gnawing beast.
The world of loucheng was extremely vast. It was almost impossible for someone else to chase after the soul-gnawing beast that was not of a low level and had disappeared for a long time.
However, Tang Zhen had the tracking and positioning cards that he had accumulated from the usual lucky draws. It was unknown how many he had accumulated now, and he rarely used them.
Now that he was planning to track down the soul-gnawing beast, he could make use of these cards!
After returning to loucheng to make some preparations, Tang Zhen took out a card that was shining with a faint light and directly tore it.
The instant the card turned into a stream of light and disappeared, a hidden aura suddenly appeared. It was as if it was divining the fate of the heavens. It was following Tang Zhen’s thoughts and continuously searching for the location of the soul-gnawing beast.
Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed. Tang Zhen suddenly turned his body and looked in a direction in the wilderness.
Without any hesitation, a pair of wings suddenly appeared on his back. His entire person was like a Phantom, and he instantly shot into the sky.
Although this tracking card was magical, it only had half an hour’s time. Tang Zhen had to seize the time and hurry in the direction of the soul-gnawing beast as soon as possible.
However, the tracking card wasn’t omnipotent, so he only knew the specific location of the soul-gnawing beast, but he didn’t know how far away it was from him, so he could only use his fastest speed to travel.
What Tang Zhen was worried about now was that if the tracking cards in his hand were used up and he still did not reach the location of the soul-gnawing beast, then all his efforts would have been in vain.
The speed of a two-star King tier was so fast that it had almost reached an inconceivable level. In addition to Tang Zhen’s special wings, his speed was also one of the top among cultivators of the same level.
There were countless cultivators in the world of loucheng. It was not easy to do this!
If he used this ability to escape, few cultivators would be able to catch up to him!
He flew at an extreme speed all the way. Before the effect of the tracking card disappeared, Tang Zhen tore another card and once again set off to hurry on his journey.
After tearing more than a dozen tracking cards in succession, Tang Zhen had already left the Holy Dragon city’s wild land. He had even reached an area that he didn’t know about.
This was an incomparably huge flat region. From time to time, one could see buildings appearing on the ground. Strange-looking foreign races and monsters were also frequently reflected in Tang Zhen’s eyes.
Even Tang Zhen’s physical strength was unable to support this Swift journey. He could only temporarily choose to stop in a forest and plan to rest and replenish his strength.
There was a lot of food in his storage space, so he didn’t need to look for food. He just needed to heat it up.
Tang Zhen took out a piece of cooked meat and placed it in his hand. The roasted meat was immediately wrapped by a ball of flames and a fragrance was quickly emitted.
The flame that Tang Zhen released could be controlled at will. This also caused the piece of meat to not show any signs of being charred from the beginning to the end. Instead, golden-colored oil continuously seeped out.
In less than a minute, the piece of cooked meat was already hot and exuded an alluring fragrance.
He removed the meat and placed it on a plate. The flame in his hand suddenly flickered, and the temperature suddenly rose to a terrifying degree, burning off the oil on his hand!
He dusted off the ash on his hand, then took out a bottle of fruit wine, a special fruit wine produced by the non-humankind, and began to eat the meat.
After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Tang Zhen took a short break before tearing the tracking card again.
