The dead souls' evil lair was the most mysterious land in the Dead Soul Mountain range. This evil lair wasn't static. It could move, disappear, and then reappear in another area.
Usually, only the dead souls could sense the exact location of the dead souls' evil lair. The area where the dead souls' evil lair appeared often had dead souls wandering around.
This kind of area was the forbidden area of the Dead Soul Mountain range. If a warrior wasn't confident in himself, he wouldn't dare to wander alone in this forbidden area.
Shi Yan had heard the Five Devils roar, and then they had finished their transformation. Their powers seemed to have advanced one more step, sending their thoughts to that area.
This surprised Shi Yan a lot. He hesitated for a while, then decided to go there to check.
Although Cherry didn't like it, she couldn't change his mind. She could only follow him to the forbidden area where the dead souls' evil lair appeared frequently.
It was a valley covered in thick gray clouds. There was no light in this valley. Even if it was broad daylight, it still gave people a gloomy feeling, which made people uncomfortable.
In the valley, there were many strange-looking weeds. The weeds were like sickles and were very dense. Clusters of them were like swords stuck in the ground and looked extremely sharp.
"That's the Bone Cutting Grass. It's really dangerous. Once a warrior falls into the grass, the Bone Cutting Grass will swarm over, peel off his flesh, and suck his marrow." Cherry flew to this area, her face solemn. She pointed at the strange grass underneath and advised him. "Don't fall into the Bone Cutting Grass. Otherwise, even you can't get rid of it."
Shi Yan smiled and nodded, looking at the Bone Cutting Grass underneath. "Can this strange grass be made into medicine?"
Cherry's eyebrows twitched as she beamed a faint smile. "You dare to dream. This Bone Cutting Grass is so strange. How can we use it to make medicine? Oh, it's not right. If we want to refine some poison, the juice of the Bone Cutting Grass does have some miraculous effects. It can weather people's marrow and make their limbs stiff. "
"Has anyone ever collected the Bone Cutting Grass?"
"I don't know. I've never refined poisons. That's why I didn't pay attention to it." Cherry's blue eyes sparkled with a strange light. She glared at him, her heart shivering.
Could it be that this guy was more interested in poisons?
Every alchemist who refined poisons was not welcome in the Dead Soul Mountain range. If he wanted to be a poison alchemist, he must be an evil and sinister person. It seemed that he had to be careful of him...
"There's a battle!"
Shi Yan's pupils shrank. He suddenly stared ahead, and his speed suddenly increased.
Cherry followed him immediately.
In front of them, there were clusters of gray clouds in the valley. Five Sky Realm warriors were holding secret treasures in their hands, besieging three clusters of dark green air. Those clusters of air were erratic and indistinct. Sometimes, they turned into the ferocious faces of beasts, and sometimes, they turned into hollow human faces, constantly changing.
An evil and cold aura emanated from the dark green mass of air, as if it could reach straight into one's heart.
The air mass kept changing, its shape uncertain. It released a cold and evil aura, forming a soul attack that was hard to be seen by the naked eye. It spread out like ripples in water, affecting the surroundings.
Among the five Sky Realm warriors, there were men and women, but none of them were alchemists. They looked as if they were facing their archenemy. The secret treasures in their hands all had the scorching Yang property. The light they released was also bright red.
"Dead souls!"
Cherry let out a low shout, signaling Shi Yan not to come closer. She said softly, "They're hunting the dead souls. Don't disturb them."
"Hunting the dead souls?" Shi Yan was surprised, frowning. "Didn't you say that the dead souls are evil creatures that can erode the human warriors' souls? If the dead souls are useless, why do they hunt them? "
"Although the dead souls are dangerous, they're not useless. Quite the contrary, to some blacksmiths, the dead souls are precious materials." Cherry stood in the distance, explaining with a low voice. "To blacksmiths, they have several methods to make their weapons have Soul Consciousness. The method to make the weapons absorb the energy of heaven and earth to gain their intellect is the rarest and most mysterious one."
Pausing for a while, she continued to explain. "However, most of the blacksmiths can't do that. They can find strange souls and seal them in the weapons. It's a common method to make the weapons have Soul Consciousness. The Dead Spirit is this kind of evil soul. It has a very strong sense of attack. If the Dead Spirit is fused with an artifact, the power of the artifact will be greatly increased. A Mysterious Grade artifact can also be upgraded to a Spirit Grade artifact. "
"You mean, those people hunt the dead souls to refine weapons?" Shi Yan was surprised. "They're not blacksmiths."
"I think they want to find blacksmiths to refine weapons. They want to make the weapons have Soul Consciousness. That's why they come here to hunt the dead souls." Cherry knew the situation of the Dead Soul Mountain range well. "Erase the independent consciousness of the dead souls, seal their souls in the secret treasures, and then use a special technique to stimulate the evil instincts and evil thoughts of the dead souls. This will increase the power of the secret treasures. The higher the level of the dead souls is, the more powerful the secret treasures will be. "
"Do people often do that in the Dead Soul Mountain range?"
"Not really. It's not easy to hunt the dead souls. They have to have enough restraining treasures and the Divine Coiling Pellet. First, they have to ensure that they won't be attacked by the dead souls. Then, they will find the right time to capture them. This kind of thing is extremely dangerous. If they meet a low-level dead soul, they have a chance to succeed. However, if they're unlucky and encounter a dangerous dead soul, they will lose their lives. "
While the two of them were talking, the five warriors in front of them seemed to have succeeded. The three dark green dead souls were obviously low-level, as they didn't even have a real shape. Under the barrage of the restraining treasures, the three dead souls were like smoke being smashed. It was hard to gather them again.
The three dead souls separated into clusters in the middle of them. Like torn rags, they floated in the air and began to search for a way to escape.
The five warriors wore a solemn countenance. They didn't dare to let go. The red treasures in their hands continuously radiated flames, creating a fire wall that could bind that space.
The power of the scattered dead souls was reduced sharply. They didn't dare to pierce through the fire wall. Under the cover of the fire wall, they released a stronger soul-eroding force.
The five warriors who were besieging the dead souls paled. Cold sweat beaded on their foreheads. Apparently, the soul-eroding attack had put them in a difficult situation.
"Hold on a little bit more!" The leader of the group gritted his teeth, sweating profusely. "These three dead souls can't gather again. As long as we can resist the last wave of their soul attack, we can subdue them! Don't waste our previous efforts. Hold on! "
Among the five Sky Realm warriors, there was a big difference in their ages. The leader seemed to be around fifty years old, while the other four looked like they were in their forties, thirties, and even seventeen or eighteen years old. All of them looked extremely young.
The five of them joined hands. The secret treasures in their hands swayed continually, creating more flames, which made the three scattered dead souls struggle more fiercely.
"The dead souls are afraid of the power of fire and lightning. Usually, the power of fire can keep the dead souls away, but it can't burn them to death. Only the power of lightning and lightning can be the nemesis of the dead souls. In the Dead Soul Mountain range, when the thunder rumbles and lightning strikes, all the dead souls will hide … "
Cherry was watching from a distance, explaining the features of the dead souls to Shi Yan in a low voice. "It's not hard to find the flaming treasures, but the treasures with the power of thunder and lightning are rare. Even in our Dead Soul Mountain range, the treasures with the thunder and lightning class are rare. The warriors with the treasures with the power of lightning and lightning don't need to worry about the dead souls in the Dead Soul Mountain range. As long as the treasures with the power of lightning and lightning appear, the dead souls will run away. They won't dare to come near us. "
ShiYan nodded as he felt more relieved.
With the Earth Flame, he wasn't afraid of the dead souls. Moreover, the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame was the nemesis of this kind of soul creatures. If the dead souls that weren't afraid of death came, he just needed to release the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame to purify them.
Buzz Buzz Buzz!
A strange whistling sound suddenly came from his Sea of Consciousness. Before he could react, five gray shadows suddenly flew out from the back of his head and dashed into the fire wall. They grabbed the three dead souls and started to chew them up. In just a few seconds, the three dead souls were all eaten up.
As the five Sky Realm warriors were about to collect the dead soul, they suddenly felt their vision blur. Then, they found that there were five gray lights inside the fire wall, quickly covering the dead soul and absorbing it.
Shi Yan discolored, as he knew it wasn't good.
A strange light flashed in Cherry's blue eyes. She instinctively looked at the back of his head, her face puzzled.
The Five Devils were flying too fast. Although she was standing next to Shi Yan, she could only see the five shadows flying out from Shi Yan's back. However, she wasn't sure if those five shadows were from Shi Yan.
"Damn it!"
The old man in his fifties clenched his fists, gritting his teeth. He glared at the five shadows inside the fire wall, which hadn't appeared yet. He scolded, "What the hell is that? You dare to rob our spoils of war! You court death! "
The flaming sword in his hand suddenly spurted out a ten-meter-long line of fire, which shot towards the Five Devils amidst the blazing flames.
The other four reacted. They clenched their jaws and started to urge the power of their secret treasures to deal with the Five Devils.
In order to hunt down these three dead spirits, the five of them had planned for half a year before they managed to borrow enough secret treasures. They had been waiting nearby for more than a month before they finally saw these three dead spirits. After an exhausting battle, they were finally about to capture the dead spirits. How could they not be angry when they suddenly found out that their spoils of war had been taken away by something else?
The five of them joined hands, releasing all kinds of burning treasures, attacking the Five Devils.
After the Five Devils had eaten the dying dead souls, they still looked as if they hadn't had enough. They didn't mind the burning flames, turning into five gray shadows, gathering in front of ShiYan. They even released their thoughts, asking ShiYan to find more dead souls for them to fill their stomachs.
