155: Strange CreaturesIn the forest of life.
A gray rabbit took the pill from Lin Chuan and hopped away.
"So it really is in the east, and there should be quite a few of them."
With Xiao Wu around, the three of them also learned some information about the so-called fallen creatures from the gray rabbit.
"Then let's go over and take a look first!"
Lin Chuan slowly withdrew his gaze and walked towards the eastern part of the forest with the two girls.
As we got closer, a strange aura quietly approached.
The originally lush vegetation, as if affected by some unknown force, suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse in some places, with large areas of it drying up and withering.
Standing in front of a border that doesn't exist.
Behind you is the ocean of life, and ahead of you is a hell filled with death.
"What's going on? Is this really the same forest?" Xiao Wu looked at the scene of everything withering in front of her with a little surprise. As a soul beast, such a scene made her very uncomfortable.
"Brother Chuan, that should be a fallen creature, right?"
Ye Lingling suddenly pointed somewhere in the forest.
Looking over there, I saw a strange-looking creature slowly emerging from the forest, surrounded by a weird black and purple mist, and something like pus dripping from its body with every step it took.
"Sizzle, sizzle—"
Wherever it passes, countless holes are left on the ground.
"What a monster, so disgusting."
Xiao Wu frowned slightly, revealing her disgust visible on her face.
Lin Chuan also looked at the creature in front of him curiously, "Is this the Fallen Creature? It really lives up to its name, but it doesn't seem to be particularly powerful."
At least judging from his aura, he is at most equivalent to a great soul master.
"Let me try first!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and summoned the Luoxia Bow.
No soul skills were used, only the most ordinary soul power arrow flew directly towards the fallen creature.
"Bang——"
The soul arrow whizzed past and directly shot the head of the fallen creature. Then it continued to move forward, piercing through all objects along the way, and finally disappeared.
"Um?!"
Lin Chuan let out a light exclamation, with surprise flashing in his eyes.
Suddenly, a large amount of black and purple mist floated out from the ground, submerging the fallen creature that had lost its head. The broken neck suddenly began to wriggle violently, and soon a new head grew out.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Immortality? Or is it a special structure, with some kind of core in the body?"
As his mental power spread out, he discovered energy fluctuations in the body of the fallen creature, which were gathering in one place.
Lin Chuan shot another arrow without saying a word.
"Bang——" The chest of the fallen creature was pierced, and the core hidden in its body was also shattered. It was completely destroyed before it even had time to scream.
At this moment, the body of the fallen creature suddenly began to swell and exploded in an instant.
A large amount of black and purple fog sprayed out and spread at an extremely fast speed.
"Death still makes me worry..."
Lin Chuan's body was engulfed in flames, protecting Ye Lingling and Xiao Wu behind him, while also keeping all the thick black and purple fog out.
The three people were fine, but the surrounding plants suffered.
Wherever the thick fog passed, the flowers, plants and trees seemed to have lost their vitality, and they withered and died visibly to the naked eye.
Now I finally understand why one forest has two completely different extreme environments. Could it be that these fallen creatures are responsible?
"What the hell is this thing? It's even scarier than the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!"
Xiao Wu huddled behind Lin Chuan, her face full of fear.
Fortunately, this strange creature did not appear in the Star Dou Great Forest, otherwise the survival space of soul beasts would be even more difficult than it is now.
"It is indeed a very strange creature, almost like a plague."
Lin Chuan also nodded in agreement.
However, it seems that killing them directly is not an option. After all, according to the content of Ye Lingling's third test, she is more inclined to purify these fallen creatures.
"Lingling, try to condense your life energy to purify this mist."
Hearing Lin Chuan's words, Ye Lingling nodded obediently and slowly raised her hand.
A ball of emerald green light slowly emerged. There was not a lot of it, but the moment it appeared, even breathing seemed to become very comfortable.
Xiao Wu blinked and involuntarily moved closer to Ye Lingling.
This kind of pure life energy naturally makes her very fond of it.
Ye Lingling looked solemn as she urged her life energy to float outside the realm, coming into contact with the black and purple mist from the outside world. The rich life force instantly bloomed.
The dark purple mist in the sky seemed to have met its nemesis and disappeared instantly. Even the damaged surface and vegetation were growing again at a very slow pace.
All the fog dissipated and Ye Lingling stopped immediately.
"call..."
The girl was breathing slightly, and even her body was staggering a little.
"Lingling, are you okay?" Lin Chuan quickly reached out to support her, showing concern on his face, and at the same time circulated the mysterious power of life and injected it into Ye Lingling's body.
From the moment he mastered the mystery of life, he could barely be considered a dad.
"I'm fine, just a little exhausted."
Ye Lingling shook her head, and as waves of warm currents flowed into her body, her condition quickly improved.
Lin Chuan was very clear about Ye Lingling's current situation. Although she had successfully condensed life energy, the amount was not much, and it consumed a lot of energy to use.
"Lingling, you can try to use the Life Spirit Tang as a medium to stimulate life energy."
Hearing Lin Chuan's instructions, Ye Lingling's heart suddenly moved.
"Let me try..."
The girl stood up straight, and with her hands in the air, a golden-green crabapple flower appeared out of thin air.
The life energy poured into it, and the Life Spirit suddenly burst into dazzling light, followed by a magical green field.
"This is..."
Looking at the magical scene in front of her, Ye Lingling was filled with astonishment.
"The realm of life."
Lin Chuan spoke for her, with a look of deep curiosity in his eyes.
Martial souls are indeed unique, just like life energy. Although Ye Lingling relied on his help to forcibly condense it, it consumed a lot of energy to use. But if she used the power of the martial soul, she could maximize the effect.
Of course, Ye Lingling's life domain is more like the innate domain of Life Lingtang, which is completely incomparable to the mysteries of life mastered by Lin Chuan.
But for soul masters, this kind of power is already strong enough.
"It really works, Brother Chuan. I feel that the consumption has decreased, but the effect has also weakened a lot."
"This is indeed a disadvantage, but at least you can better control your life energy. When you become stronger, you can try to escape from the Spirit of Life!"
After all, Ye Lingling was just taking shortcuts, but she didn't comprehend the mysteries of life like him. If she wanted to perfectly exert the effects of life energy, she could only temporarily rely on external objects.
"What about these trees?"
Xiao Wu pointed at the withered trees and couldn't help but ask.
Lin Chuan glanced at it, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "Let's leave it alone for now, the withered area is too large, and we can't take care of it for the time being, let's talk about it later!"
Although the secret of life can also revive all things, and its efficiency is even higher than Ye Lingling's before, but if he really wants to revive such a large forest inch by inch, he is afraid that he will be exhausted to death.
Anyway, the content of Ye Lingling's third test is to purify fallen creatures, and it does not mention restoring the damaged environment, so it can be put aside for the time being.
What's more, judging from the current situation, one of the future assessments might be to purify the forest of life.
"Let's go, there are quite a few fallen creatures around here, and the workload is huge!"
Lin Chuan was the first to enter the withered area, Ye Lingling followed closely behind him, and Xiao Wu was responsible for covering the rear. Both girls looked vigilant and looked around.
"Here it comes!"
Not long after walking, several chaotic auras emerged one after another.
In just a blink of an eye, the three people were surrounded.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Roar——" Countless strange creatures opened their mouths and roared, and gusts of fishy wind blew in the face. Just smelling it made people dizzy.
"Lingling, give it a try!"
Ye Lingling nodded and held up the Spirit of Life in both hands.
The breath of life gradually spread, and the life field it formed enveloped all fallen creatures.
"Sizzle, sizzle—"
A teeth-grinding sound was heard, and under the influence of the force of life, all the fallen creatures began to melt at an extremely fast speed as if they were in a furnace.
"Ouch!"
Terrible wails rang out one after another.
Even the horror movies I have seen in my previous life could not be as shocking as the scene before my eyes.
"Boom boom boom!"
As if feeling threatened, the fallen creatures rushed over like mad.
"Xiao Wu, it's time to work!"
Lin Chuan stood in front of Ye Lingling, watching everything around him calmly.
"Leave it to me!"
A pink light flashed, and two long rabbit ears stood up. Xiao Wu couldn't help rubbing her hands together, looking eager to try.
"Just don't let them get close. You don't have to kill them."
Lin Chuan reminded softly.
Based on what happened before, the fallen creatures will self-destruct after the core is destroyed. The thick black and purple fog produced by the explosion is quite difficult to deal with, so it is better not to seek trouble for yourself.
"knew!"
Xiao Wu mumbled something casually, and it was unclear whether anyone heard it or not.
Lin Chuan didn't say anything more. He held the Luoxia Bow and shot the legs of all the fallen creatures in front of him.
Having lost their support, the fallen creatures fell to the ground one after another. However, even so, they still had no intention of stopping and continued to crawl forward using their limbs.
However, at such a slow speed, there is almost no threat.
Before its legs and feet could recover, the fallen creature's skin had completely fallen off under the influence of the force of life, leaving only a black core falling to the ground.
"It's easier than I thought."
While Lin Chuan was shooting soul power arrows, he also paid attention to other places.
Compared with his ease, Xiao Wu looked much more embarrassed. At the beginning, she rushed forward with full confidence, but as soon as contact occurred, the black and purple mist entangled with the fallen creature followed the contact point and spread towards Xiao Wu.
Some parts of the girl's body began to be affected, and she began to transform into a fallen creature.
"How disgusting!"
Xiao Wu's expression changed and she quickly teleported away.
He looked down at the changed part and turned pale with fright.
Taking advantage of the moment of distraction, the remaining fallen creatures took the opportunity to surround him.
"You really can let the chain drop!"
There was a calm voice in my ears, followed by several sounds of breaking wind whistling past, and all the fallen creatures were shot through the legs and feet, and fell to the ground one after another.
Under the influence of life force, it was quickly purified.
Densely packed cores were left on the ground.
"Thank you for your hard work," Lin Chuan said with a smile, ruffling Ye Lingling's hair with his hand, and at the same time took out a recovery pill and stuffed it into the girl's cherry lips.
"Xiaochuan, save me!"
At this moment, Xiao Wu suddenly came over in a very unpleasant manner, stretched out her right hand which was obviously deformed, and her pretty face was full of fear.
"So why did you dare to touch it directly even though you knew it looked strange?"
Lin Chuan complained with some confusion.
This fallen creature looks almost like Cthulhu, yet he dares to touch it directly. I don't know whether to say that the rogue rabbit is brave or has a stupid brain.
"But you did give us a demonstration."
Looking at the right hand of strange color in front of him, Lin Chuan scratched his chin with curiosity.
Now he knew where these fallen creatures came from. He was afraid that they were all transformed by the strange black and purple mist.
If the real source cannot be found, even if all the fallen creatures are purified it will only be a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.
"Is this the time to say this? Please save me, I don't want to turn into a monster!"
Xiao Wu was almost going crazy.
"Okay, it's just a little thing, there's no need to make a fuss."
Lin Chuan waved his hand nonchalantly and put his hand on Xiao Wu's shoulder. The mysterious power of life surged in and easily purified the black and purple mist on her body.
The right hand, which had already changed, instantly returned to its original state.
"Phew, that's great. I don't have to turn into a monster!"
Seeing that her body had recovered, Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Be careful next time. I'm not asking for your help, I just hope you don't make things worse!"
Xiao Wu was filled with shame and indignation at the words that were obviously filled with disdain. Her face immediately turned red. "I see. You can't blame me for this. Who knew that the fallen creatures would be so shameless? Besides, I don't have the power to restrain them like you and Lingling."
"But Xiaochuan, you can obviously purify it, so why don't you do it?"
"My mission is to assist Lingling in completing the assessment. Purifying these fallen creatures will help her control her life energy, so there is no need to be so anxious."
Lin Chuan slowly squatted down, picked up a core and started playing with it.
Wisps of mist flowed out, but were easily purified by him. In the end, even the entire core was completely purified and completely faded to white.
"What is the use of this core?" Xiao Wu was a little curious.
After checking it, Lin Chuan shook his head gently, "I'm not sure, let's keep it for now, maybe it will be useful later. Let's rest here for a while and then move on!"
Although there was no evidence, Lin Chuan inexplicably had a feeling in his heart.
These seemingly ordinary white cores will definitely be used later. It doesn't take much effort anyway, so just keep them for now to avoid being dumbfounded when you need them later.
