Chapter 155: Strange Creatures
In the forest of life.
A gray rabbit took the elixir from Lin Chuan's hand and jumped away.
"So it's really in the east, and there should be a lot of them."
With Xiao Wu here, the three of them also learned some information about the so-called fallen creatures from Gray Rabbit.
"Then let's go and take a look first!"
Lin Chuan slowly withdrew his gaze and walked towards the east of the forest with the two girls.
As it continued to get closer, a strange aura quietly arrived.
The originally lush trees and vegetation, as if affected by some unknown force, suddenly took a sharp turn somewhere, with large areas drying up and withering.
Standing in front of a borderline that doesn't even exist.
Behind you is the ocean of life, and in front of you is a hell filled with death.
"What is going on? Is this really the same forest?" Xiao Wu looked at the scene of everything in front of her withering away with a little surprise. As a soul beast, such a scene made her very uncomfortable.
"Brother Chuan, that must be a fallen creature, right?"
Ye Lingling suddenly reached out and pointed somewhere in the forest.
Looking over, I saw a strange-looking creature slowly emerging from the forest, with a strange black-purple mist lingering around it, and something like pus dripping from its surface with every step it took.
"Zizzizi——"
Wherever it passes, countless potholes will be left on the ground.
"What a monster, so disgusting."
Xiao Wu frowned slightly, with a look of disgust visible to the naked eye.
Lin Chuan also looked at the creature in front of him curiously, "Is this a fallen creature? It really doesn't insult its name, but it doesn't look particularly powerful."
At least judging from the aura, he is equivalent to a great soul master at most.
"I'll try it first!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand to summon the Luoxia Bow.
No soul skills were used, just the most ordinary soul power arrows, flying directly towards the fallen creatures.
"Bang——"
The soul-power arrows whizzed past, directly exploding the heads of the fallen creatures, and then continued forward, piercing all the objects along the way, and finally disappeared.
"Um?!"
Lin Chuan let out a sigh, surprise flashing in his eyes.
A large amount of black and purple mist suddenly floated out from the ground, submerging the fallen creature that had lost its head. The broken neck suddenly began to squirm violently, and soon a new head sprouted.
Seeing this situation, Lin Chuan suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Immortal? Or does it have a special structure and there is some kind of core in the body?"
The mental power spread away, and as expected, energy fluctuations were found in the bodies of the fallen creatures, condensing in one place.
Without saying a word, Lin Chuan shot out another arrow.
"Bang——" The chest of the fallen creature was pierced, and the core hidden in the body was also shattered. It was completely destroyed before it even had time to scream.
At this moment, the corpse of the fallen creature suddenly began to swell and exploded in an instant.
A large amount of black and purple thick fog sprayed out and spread at an extremely fast speed.
"Death doesn't make people worry..."
Lin Chuan's whole body was ignited with blazing flames, protecting Ye Lingling and Xiao Wu behind him, while also blocking out all the thick black and purple fog.
The three of them were fine, but the surrounding plants were suffering.
Wherever the thick fog passes, the flowers, plants and trees seem to have been taken away from their vitality, withering and withering visibly to the naked eye.
Now I finally know why there are two completely different extreme environments in one forest. Is it all the fault of these fallen creatures?
"What is this? It's simply scarier than the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!"
Xiao Wu huddled behind Lin Chuan, her face full of fear.
Fortunately, this kind of weird creature did not appear in the Star Dou Forest, otherwise the living space of the soul beast would be even more difficult than it is now.
"It is indeed a very strange creature, almost like a plague."
Lin Chuan also nodded in agreement.
However, from this point of view, direct killing is not advisable. After all, according to the content of Ye Lingling's third test, he is still more inclined to purify these fallen creatures.
"Lingling, try to condense the life energy to purify these mist."
Hearing Lin Chuan's words, Ye Lingling nodded obediently and slowly raised his palm.
A green light group slowly emerged. The number was not very large, but the moment the light group appeared, even breathing seemed to become very comfortable.
Xiao Wu blinked and moved closer to Ye Lingling involuntarily.
This kind of pure life energy naturally makes her like it very much.
Ye Lingling looked solemn, urging the life energy to fall outside the field, and when it came into contact with the black and purple mist from the outside world, the rich power of life bloomed instantly.
The black-purple mist in the sky disappeared instantly as if it had encountered a nemesis. Even the destroyed ground surface and vegetation were growing again at a very slow rate.
All the fog dissipated, and Ye Lingling immediately stopped moving.
"call……"
The girl panted slightly and even staggered a little.
"Lingling, are you okay?" Lin Chuan quickly stretched out his hand to support him, showing concern, and at the same time, he injected the mysterious power of life into Ye Lingling's body.
From the moment he grasped the secret of life, he could barely be considered a daddy.
"I'm fine, I'm just exhausted."
Ye Lingling shook his head, and as waves of warmth flowed into his body, his condition quickly improved.
Lin Chuan was very aware of Ye Lingling's current situation. Although he had successfully condensed life energy, the amount was not large, and it was very expensive to use.
"Lingling, you can try to use Life Lingtang as a medium to activate life energy."
Hearing Lin Chuan's instructions, Ye Lingling's heart suddenly moved.
"I'll try..."
The girl stood up straight, holding her hands in the air, and a golden green crabapple flower appeared out of thin air.
Life energy poured into it, and the life spirit suddenly bloomed with dazzling brilliance, and then a magical green field suddenly formed.
"This is..."
Looking at the magical scene in front of her, Ye Lingling was stunned.
"Life field."
Lin Chuan spoke for her, with a strong curiosity in his eyes.
The martial soul is indeed unique, just like life energy. Although Ye Lingling relied on his help to force it to condense, it consumed a lot of energy to use. But if she used the power of the martial soul, she could maximize the effect.
Of course, Ye Lingling's life field is more like the innate field of the life spirit, which is completely incomparable with the life secrets mastered by Lin Chuan.
But for soul masters, this power is already strong enough.
"It really works, Brother Chuan, I feel that the consumption has decreased, but the effect has also weakened a lot."
"This is indeed a disadvantage, but at least you can better control the life energy. When you become stronger in the future, try to get out of the Life Spirit Tang!"
After all, Ye Lingling is taking shortcuts, unlike him who has comprehended the mystery of life. If you want to perfectly exert the effect of life energy, you can only temporarily rely on external objects.
"What about these trees?"
Xiao Wu pointed at the withered trees and couldn't help asking.
Lin Chuan glanced at them, and his mouth twitched slightly, "Let's put it aside for now. The withered area is too large. I can't take care of it for the time being. Let's talk about it later!"
Although the mystery of life can also make all things revive, and the efficiency is higher than Ye Lingling's before, if he really wants to revive such a large forest inch by inch, he is afraid that he will be exhausted to death.
Anyway, the content of Ye Lingling's third test is to purify the fallen creatures, and it does not say to restore the damaged environment, so it can be left aside for the time being.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, one of the tests later might be to purify the Forest of Life.
"Let's go, there are many fallen creatures around here, and the workload is huge!"
Lin Chuan was the first to enter the withered area, Ye Lingling followed closely behind him, Xiao Wu was responsible for the rear guard, and the two girls were vigilantly watching the surroundings.
"Here they come!"
Before they walked far, several chaotic auras emerged one after another.
In just a blink of an eye, they surrounded the three people.
"Roar——" Countless strange shapes opened their mouths and roared, and gusts of fishy wind blew in the face. Just smelling it made people feel dizzy.
"Lingling, try it!"
Ye Lingling nodded and held the Life Spirit Tang with both hands.
The breath of life gradually spread, and the life field formed by it enveloped all the fallen creatures.
"Zizizizi——"
A tooth-grinding sound rang out, and under the effect of the power of life, all the fallen creatures seemed to be in a furnace and began to melt at a very fast speed.
"Ah!"
The horrible howlings sounded one after another.
Even the horror movies I watched in my previous life were definitely not as shocking as this scene.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
As if they felt threatened, the fallen creatures rushed over like crazy.
"Xiao Wu, it's time to work!"
Lin Chuan stood in front of Ye Lingling, his eyes calmly paying attention to everything around him.
"Leave it to me!"
A flash of pink light passed by, and two long rabbit ears stood up. Xiao Wu kept rubbing her hands, and the whole person looked eager to try.
"Just don't let them get close, you don't have to kill them."
Lin Chuan reminded softly.
Based on what happened before, the fallen creatures will also explode after destroying the core. The black and purple fog produced by the explosion is quite difficult to deal with, so it's better not to cause trouble for yourself.
"Got it!"
Xiao Wu muttered casually, and it's unknown whether she heard it.
Lin Chuan didn't say anything more, holding the Luoxia bow, he shot the legs of all the fallen creatures in front of him.
Losing their support points, the fallen creatures fell to the ground one after another, but even so, they still had no intention of stopping, and continued to crawl forward with their limbs.
However, at such a slow speed, there was almost no threat.
Before their legs and feet recovered, under the effect of life force, the fallen creatures' skin had completely fallen off, leaving only a black core falling to the ground.
"It's easier than I thought."
Lin Chuan shot out soul arrows while paying attention to other places.
Compared with his ease, Xiao Wu looked much more embarrassed. At the beginning, she rushed forward with full confidence, but as soon as she came into contact, the black and purple mist wrapped around the fallen creatures spread along the contact parts and spread to Xiao Wu.
Some parts of the girl began to be affected, and they changed to the posture of the fallen creatures.
"So disgusting!"
Xiao Wu's face changed, and she quickly teleported away.
Looking down at the changed part, she was immediately frightened and her face turned pale.
Taking advantage of the moment of distraction, the remaining fallen creatures took the opportunity to surround her.
"You are really good at letting me down!"
A calm voice came to my ears, followed by several whistling sounds of breaking wind. All the fallen creatures were shot through the legs and feet, and fell to the ground one after another.
Under the effect of the life force, they were quickly purified.
Dense cores were left on the ground.
"Thank you for your hard work," Lin Chuan comforted with a smile, stretched out his hand to rub Ye Lingling's hair, and at the same time took out a rejuvenation pill and stuffed it into the girl's lips.
"Xiaochuan, please help me!"
At this moment, Xiao Wu suddenly came over in a very embarrassing way, stretching out her obviously deformed right hand, with a look of horror on her pretty face.
"So why do you dare to contact me directly, knowing that it looks strange?"
Lin Chuan complained with some confusion.
This fallen creature almost looks like Cthulhu, and it dares to touch it directly. I really don’t know whether to say that the rogue rabbit is brave enough, or that he is just a brainless person.
"But, you did set an example for us."
Looking at the strangely colored right hand in front of him, Lin Chuan scratched his chin curiously.
He now knew where these fallen creatures came from. I'm afraid they were all transformed by the strange black-purple mist.
If the true source cannot be found, even purifying all fallen creatures will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
"Is now the time to say this? Please help me, I don't want to become a monster!"
Xiao Wu was going crazy.
"Okay, it's just a little thing, nothing to make a fuss about."
Lin Chuan waved his hand nonchalantly and put his hand on Xiao Wu's shoulder. The mysterious power of life poured in and easily purified the black and purple mist from her body.
The right hand that had undergone changes instantly returned to its original state.
"Phew, great, no need to turn into a monster!"
Seeing that her body had recovered, Xiao Wu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Be careful from now on. I'm not asking you for help, I just hope you don't do any harm!"
Xiao Wu's words, which were obviously filled with disgust, made Xiao Wu feel ashamed and angry. The girl suddenly blushed, "I know, you can't blame me. Who knew that fallen creatures are so shameless, and I don't have the ability to restrain them like you and Lingling." strength."
"But Xiaochuan, you can obviously purify it, why don't you do it?"
"My mission is to assist Lingling in completing the assessment. Purifying these fallen creatures will help her control life energy, so naturally there is no need to be in such a hurry."
Lin Chuan slowly squatted down, picked up a core and started playing with it.
Silks of mist flowed out, but were easily purified by him. In the end, even the entire core was completely purified, completely fading to white.
"What's the use of this core?" Xiao Wu was a little curious.
After Lin Chuan checked it, he shook his head slightly, "I'm not sure, keep it for now, maybe it will be useful later, rest where you are for a while, and then move on!"
Although there was no evidence, Lin Chuan had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
These seemingly ordinary white cores can definitely be used later. It doesn’t take much effort anyway, so keep them for now, so as not to be dumbfounded when you need them later.
