Chapter 63 The Butterfly Effect
"Okay, I'll choose Moo Spring Ox!"
Romantina agreed, and even had a sickly blush on her face - that way, she could have another satisfying duel with Moo Spring Ox!
Zhou Qing found that he had gradually gotten used to Romantina's "abnormality" and his eyes gradually calmed down. He discussed with Tang San and Xiao Wu and prepared to help her hunt a Moo Spring Ox.
After all, because of the soul bone issue, Romantina has truly boarded Zhou Qing and Tang San's ship and can barely be considered a companion. Plus with her "abnormal" personality... maybe she can be trusted... right?
just.
When everyone was about to return, a sudden voice sounded:
"Hahaha, I finally met a human with spiritual attributes. If I knew how to cry, I would have cried for three days and three nights!"
In an instant, the ground where Zhou Qing and others were standing began to vibrate inexplicably, and cracks appeared, through which a faint golden light could be vaguely revealed.
"This sound!"
Zhou Qing looked at the cracked ground and hurriedly retreated with Tang San.
but--
An invisible chill erupted, almost freezing the entire space.
Even Tang Hao, who was hiding in the dark, was shocked: "A hundred thousand year level soul beast? How could it appear here?! Moreover, the surrounding space! My body is actually... What kind of soul beast is that?"
As the crack in the ground gradually widened, a round head emerged, like a large silkworm, its body length already exceeding nine meters.
The sound of speaking just now came from it!
[Tianmeng Ice Silkworm? No, did you go to the wrong set? Or did I go to the wrong set? ]
Zhou Qing was unable to move at this time, but his thoughts became active. Looking at the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm that appeared in the Novice Soul Hunting Forest, he felt numb all over.
Physically and mentally, I'm numb.
Judging from the current situation, the person the other party will choose will not be Tang San, nor himself, and certainly not Xiao Wu, the incarnation of a hundred thousand year old soul beast.
Romantina!
This human with a brain martial soul is the choice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm!
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, whose entire body was like a white jade sculpture, had a pair of small golden eyes on its head. It slowly crawled to Romantina's side, and said with a hint of humor in its tone: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I just want to get into your body."
Romantina: “…”
In other words, she couldn't make any expression at this moment, otherwise she would definitely be "high" to the sky.
Being invaded by such a large fleshworm——
hiss--
So obscene!
So wretched!
At this moment, Romantina ignored the fact that the insect could talk, and her mind was filled with "perverted" ways of playing - however, she did not expect that there would be such a lustful type among soul beasts.
"Are you talking to me?"
Suddenly, Romantina found that her mouth could move and asked aloud.
The same goes for Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu.
Especially Xiao Wu, she never thought that there was a hundred thousand year old silkworm hidden in the Notting Forest.
"Brother Qing, can soul beasts speak?" Tang San asked in a low voice.
"This soul beast must have cultivated for more than 100,000 years." Zhou Qing said, "It is a soul beast equivalent to the Titled Douluo level. It is not surprising that it can speak human language."
"One hundred thousand years!"
Tang San was speechless, feeling that his life was over.
"Informed!"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's golden eyes looked at Zhou Qing and nodded up and down to show its satisfaction. "Except for the rabbit, all of you are my test subjects!"
"Respected Lord Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, may I ask why you are here?" Zhou Qing, whose body was frozen and only his mouth could move, asked this question.
“A hundred thousand year soul beast? I never said that I am a hundred thousand year soul beast. My cultivation has reached more than nine hundred thousand years, infinitely close to a million years!” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm’s voice became louder.
Tang Hao, who was hiding in the dark and also unable to move, felt cold all over. He did not think that the ice silkworm was lying. After all, in this strange area, even he could not move, which was enough to explain the problem.
The cultivation level of this ice silkworm is definitely far beyond the one hundred thousand year level.
But in fact, the fighting power of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is totally disproportionate to its own cultivation...
"The reason I came here is, of course..."
When Tianmeng Bingcan said this, he glanced at Xiaowu and his thoughts went back to the past.
Ever since the three-eyed golden lion suddenly broke out of its shell and was born, it attracted the attention of those ferocious beasts. It took advantage of that moment to escape and went to the middle and outer areas of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Over the past two years, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm has conducted many human experiments and finally discovered that the human soul master that is most suitable for him must have strong mental strength, and the lower the level, the better.
The level is too high, and the martial soul has already accepted the addition of the original skills of other soul beasts. Even if it intervenes forcibly, it can hardly provide any effective help... It cannot defy the rules of Douluo Continent.
So, it wants to start with the babies.
So, it followed a soft-bone rabbit that had quietly transformed, followed a safe route, bypassed those big cities, and came to the vicinity of Nottingham.
But it is a soul beast after all and cannot go directly to human cities, so it stays in Notting Forest, waiting for a suitable human to appear.
Unexpectedly, suitable humans actually appeared, and there were three of them!
Although only Romantina's martial spirit was of spiritual attribute, the remaining two male human cubs had good spiritual power, and were even very strong. Therefore, they were considered as backup by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
As for the other Titled Douluo hiding in the dark, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also regards him as a backup - if the three humans in front of it fail, it will choose that Titled Douluo.
[I haven’t encountered a Titled Douluo in the Xingdou Great Forest yet. I don’t know what will happen if I sacrifice myself to a Titled Douluo. Will I be able to directly push the other party’s soul power to level ninety-nine...]
Tianmeng Bingcan thought so in his heart, but said, "...because brother wants to choose someone and sacrifice himself to him."
Xiao Wu was stunned.
She had thought that the existence of a pervert like Romantina among humans was shocking enough, but she had not expected that there was such a creature among soul beasts, and that she did not want to live and was ready to sacrifice herself to humans.
“But I’m not a masochist. After the sacrifice is successful, there are conditions. The winner must help me teach those hateful beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest a lesson in the future. It would even be best if we could kill them all and use them as your spirit rings.” The golden eyes of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm trembled, as if it was very angry.
"Well, excuse me for asking, what is a ferocious beast?" Tang San asked.
Tang Hao in secret also wanted to know.
"I am." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm twisted its body and answered every question. It was very simple. "Any soul beast that has cultivated for more than 100,000 years and reached the level of 200,000 years can be called a fierce beast. It can transform between human form and beast body at will, and can learn how to hide the soul beast's aura. Moreover, when it changes into a human form, its strength will not decrease too much. At most, it will temporarily lose its originally powerful soul beast body in the human form, but it will not be too weak."
"My brother's cultivation has been lost by more than 90% because he was forced to release his vitality by those damn beasts. He can no longer transform into a human form, but fortunately, his spiritual power from nearly a million years of cultivation is still there, which is enough to make any spiritual master stronger."
"If this little girl succeeds, then don't even think about telling anyone. My spiritual power is close to a million years old, which is equivalent to the peerless Douluo among you humans. I can make you die suddenly and unclearly in a single thought."
“But don’t be afraid. There are a lot of those bastard beasts who absorbed my cultivation. Even among their tribes, many have been promoted or are about to be promoted to become hundred thousand year soul beasts… I must avenge this.”
"There is only this little girl. Even if I give her another martial soul in the future and she can withstand the 100,000-year level, there are only nine. It's too few!"
"I'm going to catch all those bastard beasts and hundred thousand year soul beasts that have absorbed my cultivation! If you follow her and me, I guarantee that your seventh soul ring will be a hundred thousand year level in the future!"
"Especially you, little fellow with two martial spirits, follow me and I will make sure your second martial spirit is at the 100,000-year level!"
Tang San:"······"
Tang Hao, who was hiding in the dark, had trembling eyes.
His original plan for Tang San was that his second spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, would have spirit rings above 50,000 years old. But now, because of the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, it seems possible that all spirit rings will reach the 100,000-year level!
[I didn't expect that there are people like this among soul beasts. However, if my cultivation was destroyed by someone, I would probably want to eat their blood and flesh! ]
Tang Hao thought so, and in his heart he hoped that Tang San could obtain the sacrifice of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, but even if he failed, it didn't matter. Romantina would become a member of Tang San and Zhou Qing's adventure team in the future... With Tang San's intelligence, Tang Hao believed that he would be able to become the spiritual leader of the entire team.
Xiao Wu asked: "Do you want to take revenge on other soul beasts?"
"Why not?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm did not reveal Xiao Wu's identity, but asked in return, "I am an ice silkworm. I will not associate with dragons, snakes, trees, swans, lion dogs, tigers and other species. Just like your martial spirit, brother, ice silkworms and soft bone rabbits are at the bottom of the soul beast food chain! Not to mention, they also absorb brother's cultivation to grow! This hatred, brother must avenge!"
Xiao Wu was silent...
"Can you give a second martial soul?" Zhou Qing asked knowingly.
"of course."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said proudly, "When my cultivation reaches the million-year level, I can prevent my origin from turning into soul bones. I have the dual attributes of spirit and ice. The spirit attribute can be integrated with the martial soul of this little girl to ensure my existence, and the other origin, ice, will become the second martial soul of this little girl, but it is ice without a soul. If this second martial soul wants to cultivate, it must obtain a form, which is the appearance of the second soul beast she hunted. No matter what the attribute of the soul beast was when it was alive, it will eventually become her second martial soul, an ice-attributed beast martial soul!"
Zhou Qing asked: "Didn't you reach a million years?"
"No, but when I was looking for someone to sacrifice in the Xingdou Great Forest, I gradually discovered that my cultivation was improving rapidly... Although my soul power did not increase much, my realm was improving very quickly."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled and glanced at Xiao Wu again, "Brother seems to understand why those hundred thousand year soul beasts that chose to transform into humans in the past had to go to the human world in order to quickly improve their cultivation..."
"As long as this sacrifice is successful, I can transform into a million-year-old spirit ring, which is equivalent to becoming a 100-level god among humans!"
“But I vaguely sensed that the rules of the continent do not allow soul beasts to become gods, and there will be a divine punishment that I cannot avoid, so at the moment of the final breakthrough of one million years, hiding in the body of a human was also my last resort.”
Having said so much, golden halos appeared all over the body of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. There were nine of them in total, each of which was shining with bright white light, and the body of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm quickly shriveled up.
At this moment, Zhou Qing, Tang San, Romantina, Xiao Wu and Tang Hao hiding in the dark all felt a shudder from the bottom of their souls.
That is a crushing of the life level!
But Zhou Qing's martial soul: the blood circulation system, took the initiative to possess his body, his heart was pounding, and the Innate Internal Classic Diagram also started to operate actively, and there was actually a tendency to resist this overbearing pressure.
"what?"
The soul of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm noticed Zhou Qing's situation, "Is the martial soul a heart? Even if its attributes are not compatible with mine, it has strong mental power and is barely suitable for me. Let's consider it as the second choice."
As nine golden halos emerged, a faint white aura emerged from Romantina's body, and as this aura penetrated into the nine golden halos, the tenth golden halo emerged.
The shadow of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm drilled into the ten halos, constantly circling like a dolphin jumping in a circle, and finally formed a white soul ring.
But unlike the other white ten-year soul rings of soul beasts, this soul ring seemed to be carved and polished from the finest mutton-fat white jade, and had a luster similar to that of colored glaze.
The white soul ring was tightly wrapped around Romantina's head.
"Ah! A fleshworm has gotten into my brain!"
Romantina's body trembled slightly, she shouted, closed her eyes, and fainted.
The strange vision around them dissipated instantly, and Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were all able to move.
[Why does Tianmeng Ice Silkworm appear here? 】
Zhou Qing still couldn't figure this out. He glanced at Xiao Wu unconsciously, but then shook his head secretly:
It probably has nothing to do with her.
However, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said that his cultivation was absorbed by fierce beasts and soul beasts... Did Emperor Tian's group of fierce beasts go out during this period? Not afraid of the God Realm...
[Wait, I almost forgot that during the Second World War, the God Realm still existed. Except for the Great God King Tang who was always watching his "hometown", the other gods basically didn't bother to care about what happened in the lower world before the god-level power appeared in the lower world.]
