Chapter 26 The First Soul Ring (please read and ask for monthly tickets)
Looking at the dark cave on the mountainside, Gu Yi pondered for a moment and did not go in immediately.
You don’t need to think about it to know that the environment in this cave must be extremely dark, and you can’t see your fingers.
Because soul beasts like blood crystal bats like dark environments and are accustomed to hiding during the day and emerging at night.
If Gu Yi goes in, his sight will be restricted, which will only suppress his own strength, which will be quite dangerous.
So Guyi chose to lurk outside the cave, waiting for the blood crystal bats to fly out of the cave.
According to records, blood crystal soul beasts make a living by sucking blood, and will fly outside to hunt every once in a while.
Gu Yi just needs to wait in the dark.
Gu Yi followed the wild hunting skills taught by Grandpa Mu Hu and hid his figure among the dense trees. He sprinkled branch sap and some medicinal powder around and on his body to cover up his own aura.
Gu Yi's eyes were fixed on the cave. If there was any movement, he would be the first to notice it.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was night.
Not only did the spirit beasts in the Star Forest not become quiet because of this, but they were even more active than during the day.
Because there are many predators who are good at hunting at night, the blood crystal bat that Gu Yi is waiting for is one of them.
During this period, many spirit beasts passed by Gu Yi's hiding place, but no trace of Gu Yi was found.
Finally, after Gu Yi waited for nearly an hour, bursts of wind howling came from the dark cave on the mountainside.
After a while, several huge blood-red bats flew out and flew silently towards the surrounding forest.
Gu Yi perked up when he saw the spirit beasts appearing, and quickly carefully identified the years of these bat spirit beasts.
"The cultivation level of one blood crystal bat is about 2,400 years, and the cultivation level of the other five is about seven or eight hundred years..."
Gu Yi's eyes flashed, and he quickly The size of these six bats determines their cultivation years.
According to book records, the length of the blood crystal bat's wings increases by ten centimeters every hundred years of cultivation.
The largest one has a wingspan of two meters and four meters, and its size is terrifying.
If that bloody mouth fell on a person, it would be able to suck out their blood in an instant.
"Two thousand four hundred years... is just within the range that my body can absorb!" After some calculations, Gu Yi immediately decided to absorb the soul ring of the largest blood crystal bat.
Gu Yi learned from books that blood crystal bats make a living by sucking the blood of other soul beasts.
Even if their stomachs are full, they will still continue to suck blood. They will not let go until the last drop of blood is sucked out of the target. They are extremely greedy.
From the extra blood, the blood crystal bat will use a unique method to extract the essence of the blood, and then condense it into a round blood crystal in the body, which is somewhat similar to the beast core of the monsters in Jiuxiao Continent.
This is why they are called 'blood crystal bats'.
For them, this blood crystal is a backup hidden energy source.
As long as this blood crystal is present, even if they do not absorb the blood of soul beasts or humans for a long time, they can survive until the blood crystal is exhausted.
——However, due to the greed of blood crystal bats, they cannot resist their blood-sucking instinct, and often go hunting and sucking blood every few days.
Therefore, blood crystal bats generally cannot use this ability.
This is also the reason why blood crystal bats flew out when Gu Yicai squatted outside the cave for a long time.
The real role of this blood crystal is in combat.
Once the blood crystal bat encounters a fierce battle and feels that it cannot defeat its opponent, the blood crystal bat will burn the blood crystal crazily and activate the backup hidden energy, allowing itself to greatly increase its speed and strength in a short period of time. Exploding strength far beyond his own cultivation level.
What Gu Yi wants to obtain is this kind of amplified soul skill that can burn blood and soul power and obtain a short-term burst.
After all, what his Blood Martial Soul lacks most is blood.
This type of explosive soul skill can play a key role in battle.
If used well, skipping challenges is not a problem.
Even if Gu Yi becomes stronger, this soul skill will still be effective.
……
After determining the target, Gu Yi quietly took out the iron bow from behind, and then quietly waited for the six blood crystal bats to return from hunting.
One 2,400-year-old soul beast and five 800-year-old soul beasts. If they were to fight head-on, Gu Yi could not say that he would be able to keep them 100%. After all, blood crystal bats have wings, so they can fly away if they can't be beaten.
So archery can work wonders at this time.
Hunters hunt in the wild by surprise. All they have to do is seriously injure the largest wing to prevent it from flying.
So this time the hunt for the soul ring is half successful!
Gu Yi waited again for a quarter of an hour or two.
The blood crystal bats that went out to hunt each held a soul beast under their claws and flew towards the dark cave.
“Here we come!” Gu Yi’s eyes lit up.
He held his breath and focused all his attention on the largest thousand-year-old blood crystal bat. He raised the iron bow in his hand, put an arrow on it, and slowly pulled the bowstring until it reached the full moon. .
Whoosh! !
When the thousand-year-old blood crystal bat and the five hundred-year-old blood crystal bats flew within 300 steps of Guyi, an arrow instantly flew out of the dense trees at such a speed that it left traces in the air. Afterimages.
In front of the arrow carrying a thousand kilograms of force, the Millennium Blood Crystal Bat's flesh and blood body was as fragile as tofu. Its left wing was directly pierced, exploding a bloody hole the size of a watermelon.
The century-old bat soul beast behind this soul beast happened to be very unfortunate in the flight path of the arrow. Its head and upper body exploded, leaving only the lower half of its body, claws and the claws it was holding. The prey falls to the ground.
A golden century-old soul ring floated out from its corpse.
squeak!
The Thousand-Year Blood Crystal Bat screamed shrilly, invisible sound waves spread in all directions, stirring up a green wave, and its body fell uncontrollably.
However, before it fell to the ground, another arrow followed closely, piercing its other wing.
Yellow-level middle-grade martial arts, meteor arrows! !
Gu Yi practiced this martial art for three months and used it two or three times to gain enlightenment. He had already mastered some of the mysteries of this archery martial art.
This is the first time it has been used in actual combat, and the effect seems to be excellent.
After seeing that both wings of the Millennium Blood Crystal Bat were severely damaged and could no longer fly, Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s safe now.
However, in order to prevent the long nights and dreams from attracting other thousand-year soul beasts, Gu Yi quickly put away his iron bow, jumped down from the tree with a spear in hand, and ran towards the direction where the thousand-year blood crystal bat fell.
Three hundred steps passed in an instant. Through the dense leaves, Gu Yi could already see the thousand-year blood crystal bat struggling on the ground, trying to walk back to the cave.
As for the other four hundred-year-old spirit beasts, they were hovering above it, constantly making sharp sounds, as if they were communicating, and they seemed to be using echoes to determine their position.
That's why Gu Yi was discovered by them.
Facing the hundred-year-old bats flying towards him, Gu Yi’s expression remained unchanged. He stabbed, danced, teased, or flicked the spear in his hand, using various basic marksmanship to easily block the blood crystal bats. Sharp claws and fangs.
The seriously injured Millennium Blood Crystal Bat saw how ferocious Gu Yi was, and a faint red light suddenly appeared on its body. It opened its claws and joined the battlefield regardless of its injury.
Gu Yi recognized it at a glance. It was burning the blood crystals in his body.
The third style of submachine gunnery, sweeping through thousands of armies!
Gu Yi's eyes condensed and he started to use the Iron Blood Evil Qi Technique. Suddenly a trace of Blood Evil Qi spread all over his body, even permeating the spear.
——On the way here, Gu Yi killed some soul beasts. This was the first time that Gu Yi killed a living creature with cultivation level. This absorbed some of the blood evil energy, making him immune to the iron-blooded beasts. I have a deeper understanding of evil spirits.
This skill is a military skill. It focuses on fighting on the battlefield. Practice by killing and develop a powerful blood evil spirit.
Gu Yi benefited a lot from this trip to the Star Forest.
Gu Yi continued to use his submachine gun skills, charging to break the formation, pulling out the fuel from the cauldron, turning his horse back to shoot the sun, and conquering the world... Every move of gun skills was displayed in his hands.
Swish, swish, swish!
After fighting for a few minutes, Gu Yi finally seized the opportunity, danced out five spear flowers with his spear, and stabbed the five soul beasts respectively. Each spear carried Gu Yi's two thousand kilograms of power.
Even if the four eight-hundred-year-old blood crystal bats burned the blood crystals, they could not stop Gu Yi's shot. They were directly pierced through the head and died, leaving behind four golden century-old soul rings. .
Only the thousand-year-old bat was able to react in time to the shot, moved its head an inch, and narrowly escaped the fatal blow.
But that's all. Gu Yi's spear only paused for a second, and then slashed down, pressing him to the ground.
As Gu Yi's last shot fell, the thousand-year blood crystal bat died with hatred, and a purple thousand-year soul ring slowly emerged.
"Huh~ It's finally over..."
Gu Yi looked at the thousand-year soul ring and showed a bright smile, "The next step is to absorb this soul ring."
