Chapter 97 - 97 Wandering Souls
97 Wandering Souls
“The first Wandering Soul Guard!”
Xiao Shi looked at the wandering soul floating beside him.
The Black Holy Land Badge had a special effect. After killing it, there was a 50% chance that the corpse soul of the deceased would become his wandering soul guard.
His luck was good this time.
After killing this Qi Martial Realm cultivator who had opened eight Qi vortexes, his corpse soul had become a wandering soul guard. If he killed everyone here, who knew how many wandering soul guards would be formed?
Xiao Shi glanced at the surrounding people with some interest. However, he still suppressed the killing intent in his heart.
He knew now was not the time to kill them. With the situation in this land of opportunity, more people should have gathered before the flowers and trees in the basin bloomed. If he attacked now,
Of course, he could kill everyone here. However, no one would probably dare to come after that. Instead of that, it was better to keep them for now and wait for more people to arrive. When the time came, he would deal with them together and gain even more.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi walked to the side calmly and sat under a tree, waiting quietly.
The others looked at Xiao Shi solemnly. Especially when they saw the wandering soul guard floating beside Xiao Shi, they were very afraid.
None of them knew what that was. They felt that the burly man in front of them was very strange and dangerous. Even the group where the person belonged to did not dare to have the thought of taking revenge after seeing this scene.
The Qi Martial Realm cultivator who had been killed by Xiao Shi was a miscellaneous existence among them. In the current environment where there were all kinds of Qi Martial Realm experts, early-stage Qi Martial Realm experts like him could only do some chores.
When the flowers and plants bloomed and fought, they did not even have the right to interfere.
Such a person’s value was not high to begin with. If he died, so be it. It was impossible for them to avenge him.
In particular, this burly man who seemed to have only activated one Qi vortex was extremely mysterious.
Whether it was the terrifying physical strength, the profound movement technique, or the black shadow beside him, they realized that they could not look at this person with the cultivation realm he revealed.
Even the late-stage Qi Martial Realm cultivators in the crowd were filled with fear towards Xiao Shi and treated him as a powerful enemy.
Xiao Shi did not care about everyone’s gazes. When he arrived, he had already discovered that most of these people were at the early-stage and mid-stage Qi Martial Realm. There were a few at the late-stage Qi Martial Realm.
There was no cultivator at the Major Perfection Qi Martial realm cultivator. At this moment, he was mainly paying attention to the tree in the basin, feeling the weak aura emitted by the white buds on the branches.
Some of these auras were cold, some were hot, some were sharp, and some were heavy. They represented various auras.
Soon, Xiao Shi felt an extremely familiar aura from one of the flower buds.
“This is… the aura of the Lunar!”
Xiao Shi’s eyes suddenly lit up. He had finally found the Lunar Qi! However, the Lunar Qi would only form when the flower bud was developed.
Unfortunately, among so many flower buds, only one emitted the Lunar Qi. The other flower buds emitted other special auras. However, soon, Xiao Shi felt the Lunar Qi on a few short grasses under the tree again.
“Very good!”
Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up. He thought that with this Lunar Qi, he could activate more Qi vortexes. Now, he was just waiting for these flowers and plants to bloom.
… .
As time passed, the night passed. At the moment the morning sun shone on the second day, more and more people discovered this fortuitous opportunity.
However, if they wanted to stay here and fight for opportunities, they clearly needed to have certain qualifications. If they were only an ordinary early-stage Qi Martial Realm cultivator and alone, they would be cleaned up.
If they wanted to stay here, the weakest would be at the early-stage Qi Martial realm.
Three days passed in this manner.
The flowers and plants in the basin never bloomed.
However, everyone could feel that it will be soon!
The number of people here increased.
When Xiao Shi first came, there were only more than ten people here. Now, there are almost 40 people here.
“Looks like it’s going to be another huge gain!” Xiao Shi was very excited.
The more people there were, the greater his gains after killing them. This was much better than killing as soon as he arrived.
It was dusk. Red clouds filled the sky, one after another, like autumn leaves covering the sky. In the basin, the aura suffused by the flowers and plants was constantly churning and becoming stronger. This made everyone realize that they were about to bloom.
Many people had already stood up from the ground with excitement in their eyes, preparing for the battle in advance.
Their strengths were not equal, there were strong and weak. However, there were many flowers and plants in the basin. Even the powerful late-stage Qi Martial Realm cultivators could not take all the opportunities here for themselves.
If someone ate meat, there would naturally be people drinking soup.
These late-stage Qi Martial Realm cultivators basically used the flower buds on the tree as their main competition. Many early-stage and mid-stage Qi Martial Realm cultivators would fight for the flowers and plants under the tree.
At this moment, many of them had already joined forces. There were almost no people acting alone. After all, it was very difficult to gain anything by acting alone in this situation.
In the meantime, there were also people who had come to join forces with Xiao Shi, but they were all rejected by him. To these people, their goal was only the opportunities here. However, what Xiao Shi wanted was not only these opportunities, but everyone here was also his prey.
“Do you see that burly man? If his target is only the flowers and plants under the tree later, we can ignore him. However, if he dares to snatch the flower buds on the tree, we’ll be the first to deal with him!”
A few late-stage Qi Martial Realm cultivators who had formed an alliance were discussing. A few of them came later, so they had never seen Xiao Shi attack. However, when they saw the black shadow floating beside Xiao Shi, they felt that it was very strange.
They agreed to this proposal.
“I have a feeling that this person will be our greatest enemy. We have to deal with him first!”
The other late-stage Qi Martial Realm team also looked at Xiao Shi. They treated Xiao Shi as their number one enemy. It was really because the black shadow beside Xiao Shi made them extremely afraid. They had never seen such a thing before.
The unknown was often the most terrifying.
Soon, the aura emitted by the many flowers and plants in the basin became stronger and stronger as time passed. The white buds growing on the branches had already begun to gradually bloom.
As it bloomed, the weak aura surrounding each flower bud became even more intense. From fewer to more, from thin to thick, it formed balls of special aura.
Not only that, at one end of one of the branches, an oval light green fruit grew.
Surprisingly, it was a heavenly treasure!
At the same time, the many flowers and plants under the tree were growing at a visible speed, forming various special auras. For a moment, this basin was completely enveloped by many different special auras.
Among them, there were even heavenly treasures that drove people crazy. Heavy breathing came from the crowd. Many people’s eyes were bloodshot from excessive excitement. Veins popped out on their necks.
Such an opportunity was enough for them to risk everything!
Whoosh!
Everyone rushed into the basin instantly. They would use their fastest speed to seize these opportunities and fortunes in the basin.
Only Xiao Shi.
He was still sitting there and did not even get up. He looked indifferently at the people rushing towards the basin and snapped his fingers. The wandering soul guard beside him immediately floated forward.
A flute appeared in his hand. He brought the flute to his mouth and blew it gently. One wandering soul after another floated out of the flute. When ten wandering souls floated out of the flute, there was a crack.
The Wandering Soul Flute shattered.
He could only play it ten times. The ten wandering souls that floated out of the flute also floated into the basin under Xiao Shi’s control and began to kill. The attacks of these wandering souls could ignore all defenses, barriers, and Qi Force. There was no one who could stop them.
However, Xiao Shi realized each wandering soul could only attack once. After one strike, the wandering souls would dissipate. At the same time, the wandering souls’ attacks could only target one person. There were no large-scale attacks.
As a result, a wandering soul could only kill one person.
“Looks like this Wandering Soul Flute can only kill ten people at most.” Xiao Shi shook his head.
This exclusive item clearly could not have the killing effect of Wandering Soul Finger Saber.
Besides, he also discovered that when the wandering soul guard floated in front of an early-stage Qi Martial realm martial artist and attacked him, the wandering soul guard’s attacks were actually ineffective against this person.
Not only did this Qi Martial realm martial artist not die from the Wandering Soul Guard’s attack, but he was not injured at all. It was as if he had not been attacked at all.
As for the wandering soul guard, it dissipated into thin air after this attack.
“What’s the situation?” Xiao Shi frowned.
He had a vague guess in his heart. In order to verify his guess, he quickly took out another exclusive killing item. This exclusive item was similar to the Wandering Soul Flute, which could summon wandering souls. However, this exclusive item could only kill people below the late-stage Qi Martial realm.
Xiao Shi controlled the wandering souls summoned from this exclusive item to kill the late-stage Martial Realm. He realized that these wandering souls were in the same situation as the wandering soul guards.
The attack failed!
“I understand!”
Xiao Shi was enlightened.
The attacks of wandering souls were only effective against martial artists weaker than wandering souls. Once they encountered a martial artist stronger than a wandering soul, their attacks would be ineffective.
Previously, the wandering soul guard only had the strength of eight Qi vortexes. If it was asked to kill martial artists below eight Qi vortexes, it would naturally die in one strike. However, if it were to kill a martial artist with more than eight Qi vortexes, its attacks would be ineffective.
“In other words, the wandering souls’ attacks are either one-hit kills or one-hit ineffective. Regardless of the outcome, the wandering souls will dissipate after the attack.”
After Xiao Shi understood this, he also knew what kind of wandering souls to use to kill martial artists.
For example, these wandering souls summoned by the Wandering Soul Flute could kill martial artists below the Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm. Using them to kill late-stage Qi Martial Realm cultivators was basically killing them one by one.
Of course, this was only limited to the wandering souls taking action themselves. If it was a weapon refined from wandering souls like the Wandering Soul Finger Saber, it would be a different situation.
Puff!
Puff!
These Qi Martial Realm martial artists who rushed into the basin were constantly killed by wandering souls. And with their deaths, wandering soul guards were born.
Although not all Qi Martial Realm martial artists who died would become wandering soul guards, there’s a 50% chance. This also caused the number of wandering soul guards to increase. Moreover, these wandering soul guards would inherit their strength and cultivation before they died.
This also caused several wandering soul guards comparable to the late-stage Qi Martial realm to appear among these wandering soul guards.
Not only did more and more items fall to the ground, the team formed by the wandering soul guards became larger and larger.
