Chapter 355 Millennium Soul Ring
"It looks like we'll have to wait quite some time before we find a dancing winter rabbit that's right for me."
Zhou Qing came back to his senses and picked up the Wudong rabbit, ready to skin it and remove its tendons, so as to taste the meat.
Mu Bing suggested: "Then let's go inside the tent. There is a ready-made stove."
Zhou Qing had no objection.
After this thousand-year-old dancing winter rabbit was skinned, its tendons removed, washed with snow, and coated with a layer of grease, it was roasted on the stove.
This furnace is a soul guide device, and the flame temperature can be dispersed more evenly over the meat of the Dancing Winter Rabbit.
With the sizzling sound of fat, the meat of the Dancing Winter Rabbit is ready to be eaten.
Zhou Qing sprinkled a handful of salt on it, turned it over and roasted it for a while before taking it out and sharing it with everyone.
Blowing the hot air, Zhou Qing took a bite. The tender meat bounced in his mouth. Even after chewing and swallowing it into his stomach, he seemed to be able to feel the minced meat adhered to saliva colliding and bouncing on the stomach wall, until the stomach wall began to secrete gastric acid, which made it stop.
After a while, the six people had eaten up the thousand-year-old dancing winter rabbit.
Afterwards, they found the corpses of several dancing winter rabbits, some a hundred years old, some ten years old, and cleaned them one by one to roast them.
However, the meat of the ten-year and hundred-year-old Dancing Winter Rabbits was more tender than the first thousand-year-old Dancing Winter Rabbit, so Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Romantina were not satisfied with it.
When everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and left the tent, they saw thousands of pairs of dancing winter rabbits swimming and sliding on the icy lake, all in pairs.
This is a grand dance!
The green and blue auroras, like the goddess's veil, are the neon lights that embellish this dance party!
However, this dance was also cruel. In order to select the lead dancer, countless hundred-year-old or even thousand-year-old winter rabbits died at the hands of their own kind...
It is unknown how many dancing winter rabbits died at the hands of predators and humans attracted by the dance...
Even when the dance officially started, the pairs of dancing winter rabbits bumped into the seriously injured, dead, and immobile dancing winter rabbits, pushing them out of the dance...
Moreover, even so, there will still be other Dancing Winter Rabbits joining throughout the winter, and there will be other Dancing Winter Rabbits hiding in the snow, ready to challenge one of the Dancing Winter Rabbit couples in order to take the position of dancers!
great!
Magnificent!
But cruel!
Looking at the thousands of pairs of dancing winter rabbits running along specific tracks on the ice lake, their limbs emitting the power of ice and water elements, which was either strong or weak, Zhou Qing seemed to have sensed something. He touched Romantina's shoulder and signaled her to use her mental detection and mental sharing skills.
Romantina did as she was told.
But the mental strength is not enough to cover the entire ice lake.
As a last resort, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm appeared.
[At the critical moment, you still have to look to me! ]
Suddenly, the scene of the entire icy lake appeared in front of Zhou Qing and Tang San——
On the nearly circular ice surface, thousands of pairs of dancing winter rabbits ran, leaving behind light blue ice and water elemental energies. Although they would dissipate over time, or even melt into the ice surface, when the traces that had not completely dissipated were connected, a pattern similar to the soul guide core array was obtained.
Especially in the perception of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the ice and water-attributed energy of heaven and earth around the ice lake began to surge slightly.
[I didn't expect that a soul beast like the Dancing Winter Rabbit actually has such an ability! ]
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm doesn’t know much about the Dancing Winter Rabbit. In the past, in this area of the Far North, they just ate and slept, and didn’t learn in detail why the Dancing Winter Rabbit would "dance" in winter.
"Brother Qing, this should be the core spirit guide formation, right?" Tang San said.
"Maybe."
Zhou Qing looked at Romantina, hoping that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm could describe to him what specific effects the Dancing Winter Rabbit's behavior could cause.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm understood and transmitted the message:
[According to my judgment, this thing is used to mobilize the power of ice and water elements between heaven and earth, forming a strange pressure that seems to be able to slightly distort space... In theory, when this pressure reaches a certain level, it can cause the energy of ice and water attributes to fuse.]
[Perhaps, Wu Dongtu did this in order to evolve his bloodline.]
[However, the legend that Mu Bing told about killing a pair of Dancing Winter Rabbits at the same time, and the two soul rings fused to form one soul ring, under the effect of slightly distorting space, will affect the rules of the world to a certain extent. The two soul beasts are of the same race and died together, so it is possible that they will gather together and be judged by the rules of the world as coming from the same soul beast.]
[You humans should be able to understand this better. After all, rules sound very high-sounding, but they are actually very rigid.]
Zhou Qing agreed with this.
Based on this, perhaps the secret soul bones in Douluo Dalu 2 were created by hunting more than a hundred soul beasts of the same species and pulling their soul rings. It is likely that some soul masters or sect disciples noticed a phenomenon similar to the fusion of the dancing rabbit soul rings under special circumstances, and thus began experiments.
Maybe at the beginning, the soul master who discovered this phenomenon wanted to use it to create a secret method that could produce a long-life soul ring, but perhaps due to some mistake, or perhaps some key point was not figured out, the long-life soul ring was not produced, but instead something like a soul bone was produced.
Afterwards, Zhou Qing signaled the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to record the traces left by the Dancing Winter Rabbits as they ran, which were similar to the soul guide core formation. He decided not to wait any longer and found the pair of Dancing Winter Rabbits in the center, ready to start with the male one.
But just as Zhou Qing approached the ice surface, a pair of dancing winter rabbits, about 900 years old, broke into the ice surface from the snow. Moreover, the targets of these two dancing winter rabbits were very clear, and they collided with a pair of dancing winter rabbits, which were 600 years old, almost at the same time.
This six-hundred-year-old Dancing Winter Rabbit couple were suddenly attacked, their chests and spines shattered, and they happened to fall in front of Zhou Qing.
"They can't survive." Zhou Qing squatted down and looked at the two dancing winter rabbits, ready to end their suffering and give everyone a meal.
As soon as Zhou Qing's hands touched the two dancing winter rabbits, they died.
Afterwards, a few yellow spots of light emerged from the bodies of the two Dancing Winter Rabbits. They did not form soul rings directly, but instead approached each other and finally merged together to form a light purple soul ring.
"Legend! It's actually true!"
Mu Bing pouted and looked at the scene in disbelief, "The spirit rings of these two Dancing Winter Rabbits have merged into one, forming a thousand-year-level spirit ring!"
