Chapter 2 The First Soul Ring
Wang Xing’s idea was quickly put into practice, and some young soul beasts became Wang Nan’s training targets. After walking and stopping along the way and repelling several incoming spirit beasts, the two finally arrived at their destination.
Obtaining a soul ring is not just about blindly trying your luck. As Wang Xing said before, he has been to the Star Dou Forest a few times. Naturally, he has noticed a few soul beasts suitable for Wang Nan, and their first target is A four-hundred-year-old green-scaled python living nearby.
"This is it." The number of soul beasts around them decreased significantly, but Wang Nan and the two did not relax their vigilance. Star Dou Forest is the largest gathering place for soul beasts. There is no place where no soul beasts can survive. The decrease in the number can only mean that a more powerful soul beast lives here and occupies this place as its territory.
After waiting for a while and seeing no movement around him, Wang Xing took out a small bottle from the storage soul guide and spilled some of the liquid inside.
"This is made from the urine of other soul beasts. I added some things in it to make the smell more volatile. Soul beasts have a strong sense of territory and should be able to attract the green-scaled python." Wang Xingtan He breathed, "I hope it wasn't absorbed by someone else."
Fortunately, the worst case did not happen. Not long after, a seven or eight-meter-long python slowly appeared.
It looks similar to an ordinary python. It is brown all over and has black leopard-like markings on its back. The most eye-catching thing is the huge turquoise scales on its head, which almost covers the entire top of its head and looks crystal clear in the sun. Transparent.
Wang Xing also released his martial soul, and the five souls of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and purple were slowly beating around the dragon stick.
"It seems we are very lucky." Wang Xing observed for a moment and confirmed the age of the soul beast in front of him. Then he no longer hesitated, exerted force with his feet, and pounced in the air. The third soul ring lit up with a lavender light. , swung the dragon-coiling stick in his hand, and made a sharp sound in the air.
The green-scaled python also did not give in. It coiled its body into a ball, curled up like a spring, and stared at Wang Xing with its head. Just when its body was compressed to the extreme, its whole body suddenly exerted force, and it came to Wang Xing in the blink of an eye.
"Bang--"
The strength gap between the century-old soul beast and the soul king was still too big. The dragon-coiling stick fell, and the soul beast that was still menacing just now became motionless in the blink of an eye.
Wang Xing kicked the soft python twice to confirm that it fainted, and then waved to Wang Nan, "Nan'er, come here, you have your first soul ring."
"This is this?" Looking at the strange python in front of him, Wang Nan's eyes lit up. As the green-scaled python grows, the scales on its head will show different states due to different environments. The scales of the one in front of you cover the entire head, which is obviously not ordinary.
"The one I selected for you will certainly not be ordinary." Wang Xing said, pointing to the scales on the top of the green-scaled python, "Did you see the green scales on its head? It should have been influenced by some kind of dragon-like soul beast. These are not snake scales, but dragon scales.”
"Dragon scales, can it turn into a dragon?" Wang Nan asked in surprise. For a moment, he remembered many scenes of snakes turning into dragons that he had seen in his previous life.
"How is that possible? It's just mutated under the influence of the dragon's aura. Dragons, as the top class of soul beasts, can't just change."
"So that's it." Wang Nan didn't go into details. In his impression, there was a black dragon deep in the Star Forest. It was better not to discuss dragon-related topics here too much.
"Okay, get ready to absorb the spirit ring. With your body's strength, it won't be a problem to withstand a four-hundred-year spirit ring. Don't be nervous and take your time. I will be watching you from the side. If there is any accident, I will take action." "Okay." "Wang Nan nodded, enlarging the dragon-coiling stick in his hand, and pierced the green-scaled python's head with the stick. The green scales shattered in response, and soon, a yellow soul ring slowly rose.
Wang Nan sat cross-legged next to the green-scaled python, with the dragon stick in his hand in contact with the soul ring. At this moment, his consciousness left his body uncontrollably and entered the sea of spirit.
‘Why is it this time? ’ Wang Nan’s heart tightened. He had encountered this situation before. It happened when the martial soul was awakening. It was also at that time that the light group appeared in his spiritual sea. I didn't expect that something like this would happen again when I was absorbing the soul ring.
After a little induction, as usual, I can still feel that my body is in a meditative state. Normally, Wang Nan would definitely wonder what happened, but at this time, he was absorbing the soul ring. It was a critical moment and he could not be interrupted.
Just when his consciousness was about to leave and return to his body, an uninvited guest appeared in the sea of spirit. With a brown body, black markings, and green scales, the green-scaled python that he killed appeared in his spiritual sea.
‘What’s going on? Is it because of absorbing the soul ring? ’ Wang Nan guessed. After all, this was not the first soul beast he had killed, and no other soul beasts appeared here. He could only guess at the soul ring.
‘I have heard that when absorbing a soul ring, the consciousness will confront the consciousness of the soul beast in the soul ring, but I have never heard that the soul beast will appear directly in the sea of spirits. But now is not the time to think about the reason. I have to find a way to solve it first. There is still a soul ring outside waiting for me to absorb. ’
Facing a century-old soul beast, Wang Nan naturally did not dare to be careless, but he was not too nervous. He has been to the Sea of Spirits countless times, and he naturally knows the rules here very well.
Here, he can detect the slightest disturbance at the first time, and the body with condensed mental power can instantly appear anywhere here. Even if the body is broken up, as long as the lake below does not dry up, he can still reappear. Gather together.
With such an advantage, even a century-old spirit beast is not invincible.
Naturally, the green-scaled python didn't understand what was happening, but its instinct still made it fly towards Wang Nan. Its huge body did not affect its speed, and it was much faster than the tree snake it encountered before. .
It's a pity that Wang Nan has the situation of the entire spiritual sea at all times, and it was discovered as soon as it made any move. Wang Nan's figure kept flickering, and he easily avoided several consecutive attacks.
After gradually becoming familiar with the attack of the green-scaled python, Wang Nan's thoughts moved slightly. The lake under his feet rippled, and a stick condensed out and flew into Wang Nan's hand. The stick technique he had been practicing was launched. After a few rounds, the green-scaled python didn't even touch the corners of Wang Nan's clothes, but Wang Nan took the opportunity to swing out several sticks.
After all, the green-scaled python is a century-old soul beast. Wang Nan's attack did not directly defeat it, but instead aroused its ferocity. The green scales on its head flashed with light, and green streams of light covered its body. It was faster than before. A few points.
‘It’s such a pity. If I were in the outside world, I would never be able to escape at such a speed, but in my spiritual sea, teleportation is just a thought. ’
After several more failed attacks, the green-scaled python seemed to have exhausted its strength and stopped attacking. One person and one python looked at each other for a moment, and Wang Nan took the lead in attacking, teleporting behind the green-scaled python, and tentatively swung a few sticks.
