Stealing the Beast Spirit Codex
A deep and resounding voice came from behind Xia Fei, "Why is the Stinger of Massacre in your hands?
"Someone is here!" Xia Fei's figure suddenly moved, turning around as fast as he could and retreating thirty meters away. He held the Golden Stinger in his right hand and got into a defensive stance.
All he saw was a golden will-o '-the-wisp floating in the air, flickering.
"Why aren't you replying to me?" That will-o '-the-wisp suddenly turned into the appearance of a saber-toothed tiger. It opened its mouth and spoke to Xia Fei with a very fierce attitude.
"A ball of flame is talking?! Could it be the legendary evil spirit? "Xia Fei was slightly startled. His brain began to churn as he thought of a way to deal with it.
If the other party was a human or even a wild beast, Xia Fei would not be in such a difficult position.
However, the other party was a flame that he could not see clearly and could not touch. What should he do?
"Let me test it out first." Xia Fei made up his mind and removed his defensive stance. He bowed to that will-o '-the-wisp and said with a smile, "This humble one is Xia Fei. In order to admire the legendary Atlantis, I traveled thousands of miles from the Asian continent. Is this the Stinger of Massacre you were talking about?"
Xia Fei held the Golden Stinger in his hand and let the will-o '-the-wisp take a look. His tone was very respectful.
"That's right. This is the weapon of the Atlantis War God of Massacre. It's called the Stinger of Massacre. It was lost in a battle a long time ago. How did you get it?" The will-o '-the-wisp asked.
There was a saying that went, "Don't slap a smiling face." The will-o '-the-wisp saw that Xia Fei was very respectful to it, so its tone was much more gentle than before. It no longer had that cold look on its face.
"This stinger was obtained by my ancestors a long time ago. It was then passed down to me. I worship the Atlantis culture very much. I've been working hard to find Atlantis since I was seven years old. In ten years, I've gone through thousands of mountains and rivers, and I've finally arrived here after untold hardships. I believe you must be the great God of Atlantis, right? "Xia Fei made up a series of lies.
Ghostfire hurriedly said, "I'm not the great God of Atlantis. I'm just the mount of the God of Massacre, Khan Milda. I'm a golden saber-toothed tiger. A long time ago, I accidentally ate an unknown plant and died. However, my beast spirit obtained eternal life because of it. You can call me Soma."
After saying that, Soma turned into a kind old man. He was fat, and his hair and beard were all white.
He looked at Xia Fei with satisfaction. What a good young man. Turns out that he is a worshipper of the God of Atlantis. Looks like there are still many people in the outside world who still love our great god.
The more Soma thought about it, the happier he was, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
Xia Fei stood up and asked, "Aren't you the great god of Atlantis? May I ask which god are you? "
"Haha! He's treating me as a god. "Soma was ecstatic and felt very proud.
"How am I a deity? I'm just a beast spirit. Sir Deity left this place a long time ago." Soma put on a look of virtue and prestige and said.
Flattery never failed. Even a beast spirit liked to be praised by others. Xia Fei's words were exactly what Soma wanted.
Xia Fei anxiously asked, "Why did Sir Deity leave? What happened? "
Soma sighed and said, "Fine. Seeing that you're so sincere, I'll tell you the truth. However, you mustn't mention this matter to anyone else."
"A long time ago, the God of Atlantis and his people lived on a distant planet. Later on, the great god of Atlantis was betrayed by another god and had no choice but to escape to Earth."
"After tens of thousands of years, his enemies found the vicinity of Earth. Hence, the god brought his people and flew to the universe, hoping to find a truly safe planet in the vast sea of stars to reproduce and live. In the future, when his vitality recovered, he would take revenge on his enemies." Soma recalled as he spoke. He had a painful expression on his face as if he was extremely resentful toward this enemy of Atlantis.
"What bullsh * t god? It's nothing more than a universe expert who cultivated to the point of immortality and brought his people to escape." Phantom unhappily said.
Xia Fei ignored him and continued to listen quietly.
"The reason why this continent is in the shape of a crescent is because the god brought the entire city into space. Unfortunately, I'm just a beast spirit and don't have the qualifications to travel with Sir Deity." Soma regretfully said.
Xia Fei finally understood. It turned out that Atlantis was a temporary resting place for a group of extraterrestrials who left after resting on Earth.
"Are those three people in the rubble your friends?" Soma asked.
"That's right." Xia Fei said, "There were more than a thousand of us who traveled together. Unfortunately, we were harmed by evil people as soon as we arrived here, and only the four of us survived."
Soma was furious. "Hmph! A few of my descendants were also harmed by these evil people. I only hate that I can't tear them into two with my own hands. I've already sent people over and will immediately make them pay the price. Take a look. "
A screen suddenly appeared on the wall, and the image was of the submarine docked in the sea.
Suddenly! A few giant tentacles extended out of the water. Each tentacle was seven to eight meters thick and several hundred meters long. The tentacles were densely packed with suction cups.
Compared to these tentacles, the submarine appeared to be very weak. Without much effort, these tentacles dragged the entire submarine into the water.
A large amount of white bubbles appeared on the surface of the water. Those Black Snake Gang minions must have been buried at the bottom of the sea.
The screen suddenly disappeared, and Soma said with some pride, "I'm an Undying Beast Spirit. Therefore, all the animals living on this island and the nearby sea region will listen to my command."
Xia Fei was very impressed with Soma's ability to command the animals. The few giant tentacles earlier should belong to an ancient giant octopus. It seemed like there were many ancient evil beasts living in the vicinity. Fortunately, Xia Fei didn't use force against Soma. Otherwise, he wouldn't have a good ending.
Soma's eyes stared at the Golden Stinger in Xia Fei's hand again. "Young man, this Stinger of Massacre is a relic of my master. I feel very close to it the moment I see it. Can you leave it to accompany me? How about I use this to exchange for the Stinger of Massacre in your hand? "
Just as he finished his words, a secret compartment on the east wall suddenly opened, revealing an item hidden inside.
There was a simple and unadorned ring in the secret compartment. It was golden in color and had a simple appearance without any decorations. The workmanship was excellent.
"That's a spatial ring!" Phantom said in a deep voice, "This type of ring is connected to a stable two-dimensional space. You can store things inside the ring."
"How many things can it store?" Xia Fei asked.
"That's hard to say. Its appearance looks very sloppy and ordinary. I reckon that the space inside should be around one cubic meter. One cubic meter of a ring will cost 100 million star coins. The Golden Stinger is just a very sharp weapon, and its market price won't exceed 50 million star coins. You won't lose out if you exchange it." Phantom said.
"This beast spirit is really stingy to only use this to exchange with me." Xia Fei thought to himself.
He acted as though he was in a difficult position. "Lord Soma, this Stinger is passed down from my ancestors. Every time I see it, I will be reminded of my grandfather and father."
Soma nodded. "Oh, so that's the case. But I don't have anything else that I can exchange with."
Xia Fei took a glance at the Beast Spirit Codex and asked, "Lord Soma, may I know what's written in this book?"
"This book is called the Beast Spirit Codex. Every animal has their own beast spirit that exists inside their body. It's shaped like a flame, but it can't be seen with the naked eye."
"Through cultivating the Beast Spirit Codex, you can use your eyes to see the Beast Spirit Fire. Through observing the changes in the form of the Beast Spirit Fire, you can determine if the animal is sick or not. You can also establish a spiritual contract with the animal and share your life."
"Back then, I was chosen by my master and established a sacred contract with him. As a result, I learned the human language and behavior." Soma said proudly.
There were many unimaginably powerful monsters in the universe. If he could establish a contract with a tyrannical monster, it would be equivalent to having a powerful and loyal helper. This was the power of the Beast Spirit Contract!
"Lord Soma? Can I take a look at this book? "Xia Fei asked.
The Beast Spirit Soma hesitated for a moment. "It shouldn't be a problem to just let him take a look. The Beast Spirit Codex has over a thousand pages. Could it be that he can memorize it after reading it once?"
"Alright, the Beast Spirit Codex is a secret codex of Atlantis. I promise to let you take a look, but what about my master's Stinger of Massacre?"
"Lord Soma, since this Stinger of Massacre is a relic of your master, it's only right for me to return it to you."
After saying that, Xia Fei solemnly placed the Stinger of Massacre on the stone platform.
Phantom shook his head and felt that it was a pity. "How good would it be if I could use the Golden Stinger to exchange for a spatial ring and this Beast Spirit Codex. It's truly a pity not to keep such a good item for myself. Xia Fei, ah, Xia Fei, even if you're an ability user with your seventh brain region completely opened, it's impossible for you to memorize it after reading it once. Your ability isn't memory."
Unexpectedly, Xia Fei flipped through the pages of the Beast Spirit Codex very quickly. He didn't even need to use his eyes to read it.
Phantom was so angry that he kept stomping his feet. "Fool, it's such a good opportunity. It's fine even if you only memorize a small portion!"
This Beast Spirit Codex was of great importance. If Xia Fei were to really read it word by word, Soma would probably harden his heart and make Xia Fei stay on this deserted island forever. He would rather break the contract than to let this important codex leak out.
However, Xia Fei mechanically flipped through the book while constantly yawning, seemingly very impatient. He would even take the time to chat with Soma. This way, Soma could finally be at ease, and his gaze toward Xia Fei became even friendlier.
In just a few minutes, Xia Fei had flipped through this codex that had over a thousand pages.
After closing the book, Xia Fei placed the spatial ring into his pocket and said to Soma, "Lord Soma, I'm fortunate to be here this time. Although I wasn't able to witness the wonders of Atlantis with my own eyes, meeting you was also an eye-opener for me. It's a pity that I can't stay here for long. I have to return with my companions.
"After returning to the continent, I'll definitely praise the great God of Atlantis and Lord Soma to the others."
Soma was very happy. He had exchanged a spatial ring for a personal treasure of his master. This was a great deal, and he didn't break his promise to Xia Fei. He had protected his and Atlantis' dignity.
"Alright, I can open the entrance to the outside world for you at any time. You're welcome to come again." Soma put on an act.
After walking out of the pyramid, Phantom couldn't help but complain to Xia Fei. "Why didn't you take a few more glances? This Beast Spirit Codex is a rare lost art! "
Xia Fei quietly used his finger to point at the watch-like microcomputer on his left hand.
Phantom was puzzled for a long time before he suddenly laughed. "Xia Fei! You're really something! You used a computer to record this book?! "
