Chapter 67 The Soul-Eating Vine in the Last 5 Years
Chapter 67 The Soul-Devouring Vine of Nearly Five Thousand Years
"Is this a weapon-type soul skill of the millennium level? What a terrifying skill! It even comes with attribute amplification! Doesn't that mean that activating this soul skill is equivalent to having a support-type soul master by default?"
After listening to Ye Qifeng's introduction of the first soul skill, Nihuang's charming eyes widened in disbelief.
"To be precise, this is more like a domain-type skill that only amplifies your own attributes," Bibi Dong said. "In that case, Xiao Feng, if you acquire another soul ring, this soul skill of yours will provide you with a 20% amplification of all your attributes."
"Yes," Ye Qifeng nodded and said.
"I just sensed it carefully, and it seems that your soul power has reached level 22. A first soul ring of a thousand-year level has increased your soul power by two levels. I am even more looking forward to seeing how much your soul power will grow after you absorb the second soul ring," Bibi Dong said with a smile.
"Your first spirit ring is already at the 1100-year level! Xiao Feng, you've truly broadened my horizons!"
Nihuang stared intently at Ye Qifeng, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I'm also really looking forward to your second soul ring, Xiaofeng."
"Alright, Xiao Feng, put away your soul skill for now. Let's continue searching for soul beasts. According to your requirements, the second soul ring needs a dark attribute soul beast that is four to five thousand years old. Next, we need to go deeper into the forest," Bibi Dong said.
Now, Ye Qifeng has successfully absorbed his first spirit ring, a thousand-year spirit ring that far exceeds the theoretical limit.
Bibi Dong no longer had any doubts. Instead, she looked forward to Ye Qifeng absorbing the second soul ring that surpassed the limit again, and suddenly she couldn't wait.
Ye Qifeng brought her so many surprises: innate level 20 soul power, god-level twin martial souls, a first soul ring of a thousand years level, weapon-type soul skills, and amplification of all attributes.
Almost every item was beyond her expectations and beyond her imagination.
She couldn't help but begin to look forward to what heights her disciple would reach in the future.
Could it be something beyond my reach?
…………
Three more days passed.
After obtaining the first spirit ring, I had bad luck for the next few days and couldn't find a suitable dark attribute spirit beast to be my second spirit ring.
Ye Qifeng, Bibi Dong, and Nihuang were now dozens of kilometers away from where they had absorbed their first soul rings, deep into the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
A few dozen kilometers further on is the mixed zone.
The three of them had been sleeping during the day and going out at night for the past few days. Although Ye Qifeng's soul power had reached level 22, he had not yet obtained his second soul ring.
Therefore, strictly speaking, he is still only a level 20 Soul Master.
For the past few days, Ye Qifeng has been following Bibi Dong and Nihuang, constantly hiding during the day and venturing out at night, traversing the primeval forest in search of soul beasts.
The child's tender face inevitably showed some fatigue, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.
This is due to physical fatigue.
This was also the first time he had such a high level of physical activity since arriving in Douluo Continent.
However, Ye Qifeng didn't seem to care much about this.
In his heart, the anticipation and excitement for obtaining a spirit ring remained undiminished.
He could completely withstand the physical exertion.
Bibi Dong and Nihuang, who were standing beside them with graceful figures, did not seem tired at all.
As titled Douluo-level powerhouses, even if they went without sleep for seven consecutive days, it wouldn't have much of an impact on them.
The soul power and mental energy consumed when searching for soul beasts at night can be recovered by meditating for a while during the day.
Another day later.
Hard work pays off.
In a dark, shady valley, they found a settlement of Soul-Eating Vine.
"Good luck."
Bibi Dong smiled and swept her immense spiritual power across the valley. "I never expected that such a small valley would hide a group of Soul-Devouring Vine."
Ye Qifeng's eyes lit up after hearing this.
This is a suitable soul beast to be his second soul ring for his Shadow Martial Soul.
At this moment, Bibi Dong turned to look at Ye Qifeng and introduced him:
"The Soul-Devouring Vine is a peculiar dark-attribute soul beast that prefers to live in dark places. It is a social plant-type soul beast, but what is peculiar is that it has a habit that only animals have, namely, it can move around like an animal."
"As its name suggests, it is a terrifying plant-type soul beast. It is treacherous and cunning, and likes to hunt in the shadows. It devours soul power and life force by hunting other soul beasts."
"These soul beasts especially like to attack in groups. Once they encounter prey, they will swarm around it, wrapping around and binding it in layers, and then devouring its soul power and life force until it is completely drained."
"How old are these Soul-Devouring Vine vines? Are any suitable as my second soul ring?" Ye Qifeng asked.
Nihuang also released her spiritual power, and after sensing for a moment, nodded and said:
"There are dozens of Soul-Devouring Vine here, all over a hundred years old, with a few over a thousand years old. The oldest one is close to five thousand years old, and it seems to be the leader of this group of Soul-Devouring Vine."
"Let's go with this one," Ye Qifeng said. "Choosing the Soul-Devouring Vine as my second soul skill should provide me with a control-type skill."
At this moment, Nihuang looked at Bibi Dong with her beautiful eyes, and Bibi Dong nodded to her.
"Alright, Xiao Feng, wait a moment, I'll go catch it for you right away." As soon as she finished speaking, Nihuang's figure flashed and flew into the valley.
Soon after, a fire lit up the valley.
A series of booming sounds came, interspersed with mournful ghostly cries, indicating that they had already started fighting.
However, neither Ye Qifeng nor Bibi Dong were worried about Nihuang at all.
A few dozen soul beasts that are hundreds or thousands of years old are no match for Nihuang, who is a level 91 Title Douluo.
Two minutes is not enough.
A phoenix shone with fiery yellow light as she flew out of the valley, her hands bound by several dark, vine-like creatures with her soul power.
Nihuang landed in front of Ye Qifeng, threw what she was holding on the ground with a thud, then clapped her hands lightly and said to Ye Qifeng with a smile:
"Xiao Feng, I've caught those thousand-year-old Soul-Devouring Vine vines for you."
Ye Qifeng looked down.
On the ground were several Soul-Eating Vine plants, all black with a ghostly face growing from their roots. They looked sinister and terrifying, and the ghostly wailing sound came from them.
The Soul-Devouring Vine's body looks like a black bamboo at first glance, but it is much more flexible than bamboo. Each one was coiled into a hula hoop shape by Nihuang.
On the trunk of the Soul-Eating Vine, there is a knot every meter, which is a symbol of its age. Each knot represents one hundred years.
Numerous finger-thick tendrils sprout from the nodules, covered with dense, needle-like hairs. Once prey is entangled, these hairs immediately pierce into the prey's body, frantically absorbing its soul power and life force until it is completely drained.
Its prey is not only animals, but also plants. It can be said that all living things except its own kind are its prey.
This is the origin of the name "Soul-Eating Vine". Wherever the Soul-Eating Vine exists, almost nothing else grows and no other creatures can survive safely.
