Soul bones are an extremely special thing. They are almost every Soul Master's dream item. Similar to soul rings, soul bones also originate from soul beasts. After being absorbed by a Soul Master, a soul bone can grant the Soul Master a soul skill, attribute enhancements, and increased physical strength, unaffected by soul rings. Generally, soul bones are divided into six types: limbs, head, and torso. In other words, if a Soul Master has sufficient resources, they can absorb a full set of soul bones, comprehensively enhancing their body and gaining six additional soul skills. One can imagine the significant advantage they would have against other Soul Masters of the same rank.
However, soul bones differ greatly from soul rings. Every soul beast possesses a corresponding soul ring, but the appearance rate of soul bones among soul beasts is only one in a thousand, or even lower.
Another difference between soul bones and soul rings is that soul bones don't require the user to be the one who killed the soul beast, as is the case with soul rings. Once obtained, soul bones can even be sold, and the required soul bones can be purchased in certain special places. Any soul bone, no matter how ordinary, is incredibly expensive and often unavailable for purchase.
Generally speaking, only soul beasts that are extremely powerful and experience special circumstances at the time of their death have the possibility of producing a soul bone after death, unlike soul rings, which appear in every soul beast. Therefore, soul bones are extremely rare and precious.
Normal soul bones are generally divided into six types: limbs, head, and torso. External soul bones are different from the six major categories of soul bones. They are special existences outside of the six major categories. If the probability of a normal soul bone appearing on a soul beast is one in a thousand, then the probability of an external soul bone appearing is less than one in ten thousand. Moreover, the condition for absorbing an external soul bone is that one must first absorb the soul ring of the soul beast from which the soul bone dropped. External soul bones are almost second only to the impossible-to-obtain hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
Another point is that, as everyone knows, if a person who has fused with a soul bone is killed, the fused soul bone will drop again and can be absorbed and fused by others. However, external soul bones do not have this drawback. Once an external soul bone is fused with a Soul Master, it will not reappear even if the Soul Master is killed. Moreover, external soul bones will continuously improve along with the Soul Master's own strength. If a Soul Master with an external soul bone can cultivate to the Title Douluo level, then the external soul bone that has improved along with the Soul Master will definitely not be weaker than an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul bone. From this, one can see how precious external soul bones are.
Whoosh!
A large number of blood-colored spikes shot out from Huo Yuhao's back, flying chaotically in the air, drawing streaks of bloody shadows. After learning that the thing on his back was a soul bone, Huo Yuhao roughly figured out how to use it. After all, any normal person would have heard of soul bones.
As expected, after Huo Yuhao injected soul power into the soul bone, he felt that he could control them. Although it was driven by soul power, the soul bone was as flexible as his own limbs under Huo Yuhao's control, without the imagined stiffness.
"I'll call you Blood Flame Thorns." Because the spike soul bone came with fire attributes, Huo Yuhao named it Blood Flame Thorns.
After playing with it for a while, Huo Yuhao completely figured out the function of the Blood Flame Thorns. The Blood Flame Thorns themselves have extremely strong penetrating power. Secondly, when attacking enemies, they will produce mental paralysis that can cause enemies to fall into a brief stagnation. Also, the fire attribute attached to the Blood Flame Thorns can also play a role in injuring the enemy.
However, the fire attribute is very weak, and Tianmeng Ice Silk gave Huo Yuhao ice attributes, so the fire attribute of the Blood Flame Thorns was suppressed.
However, the mental paralysis and the attached fire attribute are actually limited in strength, and are still far from the effects that a normal three-thousand-year soul bone should have. On the contrary, the hardness and penetrating power of the soul bone itself are extremely outstanding. This made Huo Yuhao also stunned. He really didn't expect that the soul bone produced by the Blood Soul Hogs, whose main attribute was mental power, would mainly focus on physical attacks, and mental paralysis became a dispensable thing.
The dense Blood Flame Thorns were taken back under Huo Yuhao's control. There was no pain of the Blood Flame Thorns drilling into the flesh as imagined. The close-fitting Blood Flame Thorns turned into streams of blood-colored air and poured into Huo Yuhao's body, bringing no discomfort. This magical scene made Huo Yuhao couldn't help but marvel.
In addition to the soul bone, there is also the soul skill. Huo Yuhao's second soul skill is not an attack skill similar to the Blood Soul Hog killing the Emerald Demon Bird, but a group amplification soul skill.
The soul skill is called Soul War Song, which can increase the mental power of one's own personnel by 20%.
Although Huo Yuhao was surprised, he was very satisfied. Amplification soul skills are also popular in the later stages, while attack-type soul skills are not necessarily so. At least, Title Douluos will not rely on their second soul skill when fighting.
Looking at Huo Yuhao, who had retracted the soul bone and turned his gaze to him, Bei Bei smiled knowingly, "Don't worry, little Yuhao. Xiaoya and I understand the importance of this and will never spread the word about the soul bone." It's not that Bei Bei has no greed at all, but external soul bones depend on luck. If it's not yours, you can't force it, and there is no possibility of being snatched away.
However, even if Huo Yuhao had obtained a non-external soul bone, Bei Bei would have to consider it carefully. Huo Yuhao's unpredictable mental attacks made him quite afraid. Of course, he was fully confident of killing Huo Yuhao in close combat, but the other party was not a fool and would not use his weaknesses to attack his strengths.
Of course, the fact now is that Huo Yuhao has obtained an external soul bone, so Bei Bei has no intention of making an enemy of this young genius, after all, it would not benefit him in any way.
Tang Ya next to him didn't have as much scheming as Bei Bei. Although she was also envious, she was more happy for Huo Yuhao, and a sincere smile appeared on her pretty face.
Huo Yuhao nodded gratefully, "Big Brother Bei, Sister Xiaoya, we'll talk about other things later. Let's leave here first."
"Yes, little Yuhao is right. Now that your third soul ring has been settled, Xiaoya, it's time to go back," Bei Bei echoed.
As the sun set, birds and insects chirped all around. Among the shadows of the trees, a stream meandered, and schools of small fish chased each other leisurely in the clear stream. Huo Yuhao held a branch with a sharpened end in both hands, holding his breath and concentrating, staring at the water with his eyes unblinking, and a faint golden light lingered in his eyes.
"The firewood is here." At this time, Bei Bei walked over from the side, holding some dry branches in his arms.
This is the place where Huo Yuhao first met Tang Ya and Bei Bei when grilling fish. The three of them came here again on their way back. Seeing that it was getting late, and this area was already outside the Star Dou Great Forest, with no soul beasts appearing, they simply chose to camp here. Of course, this also included Tang Ya's persistent demands as a foodie.
"Quickly start a fire, I want to eat grilled fish." Tang Ya, the only one who didn't work, urged impatiently.
"It's a pity there's no grilled rabbit. Bei Bei, you're really useless, you can't even catch a Soft Bone Rabbit." Remembering the grilled fish from before, Tang Ya was still a little unsatisfied and couldn't help but complain about Bei Bei's empty-handed return.
Bei Bei showed a helpless expression again. He, a three-ring Soul Grandmaster, was actually being used as a farmer, but the person who was using him was this sect master, so he had to honestly do the work.
"Big Brother Bei, there's enough firewood. Leave the rest to me." Huo Yuhao, with his trouser legs rolled up, walked out of the stream and threw a grass carp nearly thirty centimeters long aside. On closer inspection, the place where Huo Yuhao put the grass carp was covered with a large leaf of an unknown plant, on which there were already nearly ten fish of various sizes, all of which had been gutted and cleaned.
Starting a fire, building a simple grill with branches, putting the skewered fish on it, and waiting for it to be grilled until golden brown, then came a series of skilled operations, evenly sprinkling seasonings, and then flipping it a few times, and a crispy and delicious grilled fish was completed.
Before Huo Yuhao could do anything, Tang Ya, who had been preparing for a long time, snatched the grilled fish and started gnawing on it at lightning speed.
The elegant and dignified Sister Xiaoya from the moment before, in the blink of an eye, became like a cat that saw a mouse, no, a cat that saw grilled fish, eating without any regard for her image, her mouth full of oil stains. This scene made Huo Yuhao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, you can't judge a woman by her appearance, and the person in front of him was a good example.
Undoubtedly, dinner time was completely a performance by Tang Ya alone. She ate four grilled fish by herself, so much so that Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei became foils.
After a hearty meal, they sat around the campfire and started chatting. There were no soul beasts here, so there was no need to be vigilant all the time.
