Chapter 29: 2000 Ghost Face Scorpion

Walking into the Star Forest, the dense trees blocked the sunlight, and the surroundings seemed very dark and quiet.

Bibi Dong walked in the front, and after walking for a while, she said to Ghost Douluo beside her:
"Ghost Elder, please help Xiao Ling search for dark soul beasts first."

Bibi Dong then looked at Luo Ling and said, "By the way, Xiao Ling, do you have any plans for your second soul ring?"

Luo Ling’s martial soul is so special that even Bibi Dong doesn’t have any good suggestions.

Luo Ling thought for a moment. His first soul skill came from a three-hundred-year-old mandrake snake, but since his martial soul awakened for the second time, he had a feeling.

His soul skills are not affected by the type of soul beast.

Just like the six-winged angel spirit inherited by the Spirit Hall, the spirit skills are fixed.

You just need to hunt soul beasts with the same attributes.

After pondering for a moment, Luo Ling prepared to verify it.

"Well, can you please ask Uncle Ghost to check for dark soul beasts around us first?"

"As long as it's from 2000 or less."

"Two thousand years?" Xie Yue and Yan said in unison.

"Xiao Ling! You obtained the second soul ring. Do you know that the upper limit of the second soul ring is 764 years?" Xie Yue couldn't help but remind him.

“…” Luo Ling glanced at Xie Yue. Although he knew that Xie Yue was kind-hearted, he felt helpless.

Just as he was about to explain, Hu Liena at the side spoke first: "Brother! You don't know this! Xiao Ling's first soul ring of the Soul of Desire martial soul is more than 900 years old!"

"What?" Xie Yue and Yan spoke in shock at the same time.

"The age of soul rings below ten thousand years is absorbed according to the physical fitness. Yu Xiaogang's theory of the age of soul rings can only be applied to most ordinary soul masters." Luo Ling explained.

Bibi Dong also looked over at this time. She knew that Luo Ling had absorbed the 900-year-old ghost bird soul ring, but she didn't know the reason for the breakthrough.

"Well, I also saw this in a book in the library." Luo Ling explained calmly, "Soul rings older than ten thousand years need to reach the level of a soul king and have strong mental power before they can be safely absorbed because of the mental impact of the soul beast's soul remnant."

"As for the thousand-year and hundred-year spirit rings, as long as the physical fitness is sufficient, it will be fine."

Yan and Xie Yue looked at each other, and soon both of them showed expressions of regret.

Luo Ling naturally knew what the two were thinking, and said, "You should just follow the spirit ring age theory. Not just anyone can break through the upper limit."

"Although Yu Xiaogang's theory was copied, it is also the crystallization of knowledge recorded by our Spirit Hall over the years, and it is the safest."

Xie Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head when he heard this. Although Luo Ling said it very tactfully, he still felt a little disappointed.

Luo Ling shrugged, turned to Ghost Douluo and said, "Then I'll trouble Uncle Ghost to help me find a soul beast."

Ghost Douluo nodded, slowly turned into a black shadow and disappeared.

Half an hour later, Ghost Douluo reappeared.

"There's one five kilometers to the west, a dark demon dog, probably around 1700."

"There is a dark demon tree three kilometers to the east, 1500 years old."

"Further east, about ten kilometers away, there is a Hades snake, 2000 years old."

"Fifteen kilometers to the south, there is a ghost-faced scorpion, also in 2000."

Luo Ling listened to Ghost Douluo's message and thought in his heart.

The Dark Demon Dog and the Dark Demon Tree are both relatively common soul beasts, while the Dark Snake and the Ghost-faced Demon Scorpion are relatively rare.

To put it simply, the bloodline is more advanced.

"Xiao Ling, the Hades Snake and the Ghost Face Scorpion are both two thousand years old. How about the Dark Demon Tree?"

Bibi Dong suggested: "Your first soul skill of Raven Shadow Puppet is very controllable, and the Dark Demon Tree also has a strong control skill, which is just right to further enhance your control ability."

Hearing this, Luo Ling slowly shook his head.

The first soul skill of the Crow Shadow Puppet, Dark Weaving, is ever-changing. Even if the Dark Demon Tree has another control skill, it is nothing more than entanglement and is completely useless.

He thought of Tang San in the original novel.

Blue silver herbs are plants. After mastering the martial spirit, you can use entanglement, spider web, and cage. But Tang San wasted three spirit skills to obtain these skills.

The little bit of toxic properties obtained is simply putting the cart before the horse.

Wildfires cannot burn it all, and it will grow again with the spring breeze. This is the powerful essence of Blue Silver Grass.

"I choose the ghost-faced scorpion." Luo Ling said slowly.

He had seen information about this kind of soul beast in the library.

The Ghost-Faced Scorpion is a very rare soul beast. It is not only a dark soul beast, but also possesses a very terrifying toxin.

Unlike ordinary toxins, the toxins of the ghost-faced scorpion have strong hallucinogenic abilities, which are more like mental abilities.

Luo Ling was looking forward to what would happen if his martial soul could also carry hallucinogenic toxins.

Bibi Dong did not stop Luo Ling when she heard this, because she knew that her disciple had his own ideas.

Fortunately, she said directly to Ghost Douluo: "Ghost Elder, take us there."

Everyone soon arrived at the location of the ghost-faced scorpion.

In a pile of rocks, in the dark crevices of the rocks, you can see a huge scorpion.

Ghost Douluo manipulated his soul power to blow away the rocks, revealing the full appearance of the Ghost-faced Scorpion.

It was covered in hard black armor, its huge pincers flashed with cold light, and its sharp tail stinger was a gorgeous dark purple.

The most notable feature of the Deinosaurus is its creepy facial features.

Its head is covered in a thick black shell, shaped like a skull-like face, with a malicious red light flashing in its eye sockets.

This is the origin of the name of the ghost-faced scorpion.

As if sensing the terror of the human in front of it, the ghost-faced scorpion raised its pincers and started digging a hole in the ground, preparing to escape.

Ghost Douluo naturally would not give the scorpion a chance to escape.

The fifth soul skill, the black shadow hand is activated.

Countless pitch-black claws rose from the ground and directly grabbed the ghost-faced scorpion out.

Then the second soul skill, Soul Devouring Claw, was activated. The whole person turned into a black shadow, and the darkness in the air condensed into pitch-black claws that grabbed down.

The power of darkness directly split the ghost-faced scorpion in half.

The ghost-faced scorpion let out a shrill cry, like a ghost.

The scorpion's tail twitched on the ground, and the other side of its body began to twist wildly.

After dozens of seconds, the movement slowly stopped, and the ghost-faced scorpion only had its last breath.

Luo Ling walked straight up, took out a dagger from his soul guide, and stabbed it hard into the eye socket of the ghost-faced scorpion.

After a moment, the ghost-faced scorpion let out its last scream, and the red light in its eye sockets disappeared.

A circle of purple soul ring floated out from his body.

Luo Ling sat down cross-legged and summoned his Crow Shadow Puppet Martial Spirit.

Then, he guided the purple soul ring directly onto himself.

Luo Ling entered a meditative state and began to absorb the soul ring.

Bibi Dong and the others protected Luo Ling in the middle. The Star Dou Forest was different from the Soul Hunting Forest, so they had to be on guard at all times.

Time passed minute by minute, and this two thousand year old soul ring did not put too much pressure on Luo Ling. Gradually, the power in the soul ring was completely absorbed by Luo Ling.

Half an hour later, Luo Ling opened his eyes and a circle of purple soul ring rose from under his feet.

He stood up with satisfaction. The bottleneck of his soul power had not been broken through and was still at level 20, but the soul ring and soul power of the Ghost Face Scorpion had accumulated.

Once you absorb another soul ring, it can be completely transformed into your own soul power.

At the same time, the Ghost-faced Scorpion also verified Luo Ling's guess that his martial soul skills had little to do with the soul skills of the soul beast he absorbed.
