Chapter 889: Soul Eaters

The sea demons’ charge was destined to be in vain. If humans chose to fight, they might have a chance.

However, the human fishers chose to run in different directions, but the sea demons could only aim in one direction if they made a charge forward. Therefore, the sea demons had to stop and scatter around like the others.

Otherwise, on this huge ancient battlefield, their efficiency would be extremely low.

However…

When the humans and sea demons entered this space, in many places, sand and rocks were trembling, and black shadows were slowly emerging.

Unfortunately, no one noticed this subtle change.

After rushing forward about half an hour, Han Fei and the other eight had been separated from the main group, and there was no one around them.

Chu Linyuan glanced at Wang Dashuai and said, “Door.”

Wang Dashuai suddenly jumped up, and the big door he had been carrying reminded Han Fei of the Three Death Doors.

However, unlike the Three Death Doors, this door turned into hundreds of door shadows, slamming on the ground with a bang.

Chu Linyuan shouted, “Qing’er!”

Mu Qingchuan raised her hands, and blades of grass flew across, covering all the doors within tens of meters. Immediately afterwards, everything became transparent.

Chu Linyuan said, “Han Fei, there are only three of us here. I heard that you’re an array master. Can you set up a Concealment Array?”

Han Fei grinned. “Sure.”

He drew lines in the air with a hand. In a moment, the nine lines dropped to the ground, directly hiding everything within a range of 100 meters.

Chu Linyuan said leisurely in surprise, “Oh! Junior Brother is very good at arrays!”

“I’m flattered.”

Han Fei could tell that among the three of them, Chu Linyuan was the leader. All it took was a few words and a look from him and Wang Dashuai and Mu Qingchuan could understand what he meant.

At this time, Han Fei glanced at Luo Xiaobai but the latter rolled her eyes at him. Have you ever listened to me? he thought.

Jiang Qin directly took out a lot of spiritual spring energy, which turned into gas and frantically rushed into her body.

Crack! Crack!

Jiang Qin, who was originally an intermediate Hidden Fisher, was upgraded by a level almost instantly.

Under the public stare, Jiang Qin’s strength was rapidly increasing. It only took half an hour for Jiang Qin to make a breakthrough.

Advanced Hidden Fisher?

No, this wasn’t over yet, Jiang Qin’s strength was still increasing crazily.

After another half an hour, with a click, her strength surged again and she became a peak-level Hidden Fisher.

Han Fei and the others were stunned. How could she make the breakthrough so fast?

Mu Qingchuan smiled and said, “Senior Sister is different from us. Senior Sister is re-cultivating. She has experienced all the realms.”

Han Fei asked in shock, “Re-cultivating?”

Luo Xiaobai and Zhang Xuanyu were also shocked. This was incredible! To start from scratch, how much courage would it have to take?

Le Renkuang asked with a shudder, “Then how strong… Was Senior Sister before?”

Mu Qingchuan smiled naughtily. “She used to be a Law Enforcer.”

Han Fei was stunned for a moment. “Then why did she re-cultivate?”

Chu Linyuan said, “Because she was not strong enough.”

These words hit the hearts of everyone. She re-cultivated because she wasn’t strong enough. This… This was too domineering. Not everyone had this kind of courage.

At least, Han Fei didn’t think he did.

Han Fei couldn’t help asking, “So what law did Sister Qin enforce?”

Chu Linyuan said leisurely, “Kill.”

“Huh!”

Suddenly, Jiang Qin got up, twisted her head a little, and said casually, “I’ve just reached the peak level, so my body hasn’t adapted yet… But it doesn’t matter. Let’s go.”

Then she glanced at Wang Dashuai. “Withdraw.”

At the moment when Wang Dashuai took back his big door, an armor box suddenly appeared beside Bai Lu.

As soon as the armor box was opened, nine mystic lights shot out, and a huge shadow fell on the ground. When everyone took a closer look, they were surprised to find that it was a humanoid monster!

This thing had the body of a mermaid but had two pincers, and there were six thin claws under each pincer.

As for its face, it was completely deformed. On this face, there was only a big mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, and two shrimp-like eyeballs.

In Han Fei’s eyes, data emerged.

Soul Eater

In the land of restless souls, the death energy gathers, and the dead souls gradually gain consciousness and devour each other. Thus, soul eaters of various shapes are formed. Soul Eaters like to eat souls and possess humans. Once targeted by a Soul Eater, one either has his soul eroded or is possessed. Soul Eaters may have a variety of combat characteristics, each of which is different.

Immortal Energy, Pure Soul Bead

“Wow!”

Seeing this thing, everyone was dumbfounded. What kind of monster was this? It didn’t look like a human, a shrimp, or a worm, but like a combination of many ghosts.

But Jiang Qin said, “It’s a Soul Eater, a deformed cannibal creature. Remember, their fighting states are different. Some will attack, and some will parasitize, and if you meet one, kill it directly.”

As she spoke, two swords suddenly appeared in her hand. She slashed, and a domineering and strong killing intent ran over the Soul Eater and directly chopped it into pieces.

Then Jiang Qin stepped forward and found a milky white bead in a cloud of dirty water.

Le Renkuang said, “What is this?”

Jiang Qin explained, “A Pure Soul Bead. This thing contains some ownerless souls, and it is precisely because of this pearl that Soul Eaters will have combat consciousness. This object can be swallowed directly, which can increase your soul power. But there should be restrictions. It should not be of much use to people whose soul power is comparable to that of a Law Enforcer.”

Le Renkuang and the others shuddered, and Zhang Xuanyu said in disgust, “Eat that?”

Jiang Qin said, “No matter how filthy it looks, this bead is pure. If you want to quickly increase your soul power, this thing can be considered a shortcut. If there is no accident, how much it can improve your soul power depends on how many Soul Eaters you can kill and your own potential.”

Han Fei chuckled and patted Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang on the shoulders. “I think it’s okay. You can’t say it’s useless just because it’s ugly, right? But, Sister Qin, what is immortal energy?”

Jiang Qin glanced at Han Fei in surprise. “How do you know about immortal energy?”

Han Fei thought, I have seen it several times. I knew it from the first time I met the immortal soul. But how can I collect immortal energy? I don’t have any immortal energy in my body.

Han Fei smiled honestly. “I heard it from a sea demon.”

Chu Linyuan and Mu Qingchuan were surprised. Would sea demons tell you about this?

Wang Dashuai explained to the two of them. Chu Linyuan and Mu Qingchuan exchanged a glance. Their Junior Brother has been through a lot!

Jiang Qin didn’t think much and replied directly, “Immortal energy is the power needed only by undead creatures, equivalent to spiritual energy to us, and demonic energy to sea demons. If one day you become an undead creature and still have consciousness, maybe you can cultivate into an immortal spirit with the help of immortal energy.”

The corners of Han Fei’s mouth twitched. Then forget it! Who wants to cultivate themselves into an immortal spirit?

Jiang Qin said, “Let’s go! If I’ve guessed right, this ancient battlefield is huge and may be full of all kinds of ancient remnants. Let’s look for them… As for Sea Tokens, no rush. We’ll maybe find them along the way.”

No one had an objection and they began to swim aimlessly.

Unexpectedly, after half an hour, they encountered neither humans nor sea demons, although they met as many as 20 Soul Eaters.

Han Fei didn’t even need to stop as Jiang Qin and the other big shots had solved them.

“Wait a minute!” Luo Xiaobai said suddenly.

As soon as Luo Xiaobai said so, Han Fei knew what she meant.

Jiang Qin and the others: “???”

Luo Xiaobai said, “Senior Brother, Senior Sister… Let’s go separately! After all, we should rely on ourselves. I think we can handle these Soul Eaters. There should be no problem if we go separate ways.”

Chu Linyuan said, “Little Junior Sister, you underestimate this ancient battlefield. All of these creatures we have encountered now are only small potatoes. The real danger still lies ahead.”

Luo Xiaobai nodded. “Senior Brother, we have our own paths to walk. The nine of us put together are very strong, but too strong. All five of you are peak-level Hidden Fishers. It’s not good for our growth if we just rely on you.”

Han Fei echoed, “Sister Qin, I agree with Xiaobai. It is better for us to be divided into two teams. If we stay together, it’ll be too slow. Then how can we scramble for treasures with others?”

Bai Lu said with concern, “Little Junior Brother, if we are together, we can almost be invincible.”

Han Fei grinned. “Sister-in-law, don’t forget. We are also the strongest among our peers.”

Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang also nodded. They didn’t want to swim behind their asses! That would be a waste of this great chance!

Hearing their words, Wang Dashuai and the others exchanged glances.

Jiang Qin glanced at Han Fei. “Okay! Let’s separate. Gather at the entrance of the underground city later.”

After they separated from Jiang Qin and the others, Zhang Xuanyu said in relaxation, “This feels much better. It’s very uncomfortable staying with them.”

Le Renkuang nodded repeatedly. “With them, we didn’t have to do anything at all!”

Luo Xiaobai said, “Let’s go. The four of us shall not separate. This time, a lot of strong people have come in. If we come across a peak-level Hidden Fisher, we will have to be careful. The top priority now is to find the sealing object and look for opportunities along the way.”

“OK!”
