Chapter 55: Set off and seek another development.
"Yanyan, although this soul bone attached looks a little strange. But there is no doubt about its strength!" Hearing his granddaughter's comments, Dugu Bo said from the side: "Grandpa, teach you how to put it away first. I will help you fuse it completely after a period of time, so that no one can take away your external soul bone."
The difference between the externally attached soul bones and ordinary soul bones is that once the externally attached soul bones and the soul master are completely integrated, even if the soul master is killed. The attached soul bone cannot be used by a second person. There is no need to worry about other people coveting the bones in your body to kill people and seize treasures like ordinary soul bones. Because you won’t be able to use this thing even if you take it away.
This is equivalent to the external soul bone being a priceless treasure to the soul master himself, but worthless to other soul masters.
On the other hand, if it is an ordinary soul bone, then when the soul master is killed, the soul bone will be exploded. Then any soul master can choose to fuse this soul bone. Therefore, soul masters who possess soul bones basically hide them and will not reveal to others that they possess soul bones.
Under the guidance of Dugu Bo.
Dugu Yan began to retract the eight spider legs on her back. She gathered her soul power and sent it to the spine on her back, and used her mind to issue the command to retract the eight spider legs.
A strange scene appeared.
The stretched three-meter-long spider legs slowly folded, the two curved sections fit together, and then merged into the body little by little.
Dugu Yan only felt a little itchy on her back, but she didn't feel any discomfort. During this process, all three soul rings on her body lit up. At the same time, he could clearly feel that his soul power was being consumed rapidly. Obviously, retracting these spider legs requires soul power to support it.
When Dugu Yan's soul power was fully consumed by one-sixth, all the spider legs finally disappeared behind his back. She could clearly feel that the eight spider legs did not disappear in her body, but turned into eight strange energies, starting from the spine and attached to her eight ribs.
"Very well, remember not to mobilize it yet."
Dugu Bo nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is not a place for research. We will wait until we get home. There is plenty of time to research slowly."
"I got it, Grandpa."
Dugu Yan nodded obediently. She didn't know anything about this aspect, so she was right to listen to the old man's words.
And now that the purpose of coming here has been achieved, the three of them are naturally ready to go home.
Wait until the three figures completely disappeared.
The Hydra hidden among the branches slowly appeared, and then its body expanded, stretched out its huge body, and returned to its original posture.
It twisted its body and came to an inconspicuous place in the grass, where two pieces of emerald green jade pendants fell, taking on the shape of a yin-yang fish magatama.
These two jade pendants were specially left by Li Changan. Four jade pendants were carved out of the jade stone, two of which were hung around his waist. He decided to keep the remaining two pieces here in the snake body to store more power of blessing and misfortune, so that it might be useful in the future.
One of the snakeheads opened his mouth and sucked.
The two jade pendants immediately fell into its mouth, went down its throat, and finally reached its stomach.
Since awakening the Jiuying bloodline, his body structure has been different from that of ordinary snakes. The stomach is a vast space, vertically and horizontally, a hundred meters long! It is equivalent to being born with a storage space, and this space will expand as the snake's strength increases.
This stomach space is used both for digesting food and for temporary storage. Since the space is very large, he divided the stomach space into two areas. One is used for eating and digesting food, and the other is an area specifically used for storage. If you put things here, you don’t need to worry about them being corroded by stomach acid. Because there is no such thing as gastric acid in his stomach, instead there is a kind of flatulence. Able to digest and break down everything that comes in.
Li Changan once tried swallowing stones and iron ore, but found that no matter what stubborn things he swallowed, they would eventually be dissolved and broken down into energy when encountering the digestive gas in his stomach.
So as long as you control your digestive energy and don't touch these things, there won't be any problems no matter how long the things are kept in the stomach space. His stomach is like a natural storage space.
"It's time to get out of here."
After Li Changan swallowed the jade pendant, he felt that there was nothing else to do here. Then he shrunk his body again and condensed his breath. Slowly marching towards the outside of the forest.
The place where he was born belongs to the outer area of the Star Forest. The spirit beasts here are generally rare for hundreds of thousands of years, and ten thousand years are rare. It is therefore very suitable for early development. With the bloodline level of the Jade Scale Snake King, he is immune to most dangers.
And when he reaches ten thousand years, if he wants to go further, he will need more resources. Normally, it will gradually migrate to the inner area, because the energy concentration of the outer area is not as good as that of the inner area, and therefore the various growth resources are not very good. Not as much as the inner area.
Only by going to the inner area can you achieve better growth.
But Li Changan, who was familiar with the plot, had no intention of entering the inner circle. Because he clearly understood what was in the inner area. On the surface, there seem to be only two hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands-year-old ferocious beasts that are more than one hundred thousand years old!
It's just that those high-level ferocious beasts are currently guarding the sleeping Silver Dragon King, so they are hidden in the core area and are not known to the world.
The two guys, Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, are like minions guarding the gate. They are not even qualified to enter the core area of the soul beast.
If you don’t know the existence of the Silver Dragon King and those ferocious beasts. Li Changan might really choose to develop in the core area, and then gradually become stronger and take in his younger brothers. Until he finally became the boss of the soul beast!
But he knew the origin of the soul beast and the conflict between the soul beast's co-owner Silver Dragon King and the God Realm, so he clearly understood that he should stay in the core area of the Star Dou Forest to develop. There is no need to think about becoming the boss of the soul beast. What is waiting for you is that when you are strong enough, Ditian and others will appear and "invite" you to join the family of ferocious beasts. Dedicate your life to the Silver Dragon King who has a tendency to hide his love brain, devote yourself to it, and die!
And if he doesn’t obey, he will probably be attacked by many ferocious beasts!
Therefore, there are not many benefits from developing in this place. There are a lot of disadvantages. It is also possible to reveal the secret of his growth without bottlenecks and natural disasters.
Li Changan thought about it over and over again and finally decided to leave here. Go to other places to develop!
The targets have been chosen.
That’s the far north!
Once that place was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian and others could not reach there. It can develop as it wants, recruit younger brothers, and grow in power!
Secondly, few people go to that place due to its harsh environment. Even if he forms a soul beast force, he will not be discovered by humans so early. After all, the extremely cold environment of ice and snow is not something that just anyone can endure. Even if a soul master hunts for soul rings, he will only do so unless he has to. Otherwise, no one would choose to go to that vast glacier land and risk being frozen to death, just to hunt for a soul beast soul ring.
It can be said that in the environment of the Far North, the risk for a soul master to hunt for soul rings is several times that of an ordinary forest. In addition, the soul beasts there generally have ice attributes or ice-related attributes, so during this period, few soul masters went to that dangerous place to hunt for soul rings.
Of course, in addition to the above reasons, the most important thing is that there is a fat ice silkworm that is nearly a million years old. This thing is a great supplement!
If he can eat this fat ice silkworm, then he will definitely improve his cultivation greatly!
So in the end, he chose the far north as his place of fortune.
