Chapter 143 Moonlight and the Netherworld

"What is a Shadow Lizard?"

Zhu Zhuqing had never heard of this kind of soul beast, and just by hearing the name, he felt it was not strong.

"Shadow lizard, a soul beast that fully demonstrates the concealment of darkness."

"It has almost no fighting ability and feeds on some small insects or small animals."

"The speed is relatively fast, and the perception is extremely sharp. Especially after using special abilities, the speed can be further improved."

"Its special ability is..."

"That's it..." Zhu Zhuqing's curiosity was completely aroused by Gu You, and he couldn't wait to know the follow-up.

"Sneaking into the shadows."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing frowned, "Sneaking into the shadows? This doesn't sound useful."

Gu You said calmly: "This move is much stronger than the Netherworld Hundred Claws. If you get this soul beast, you can either lurk to collect intelligence, or lurk first to find an opportunity to use the Netherworld Thrust to kill it with one strike."

"The key is that the Nether Civet's Netherworld is reflected in its stealth. This ability best fits the concept of stealth and is most likely to activate your own attributes."

After Zhu Zhuqing heard this, he felt that Gu Yuan's words made sense.

Ever since that new article reorganized the category of soul masters, there has been a debate in the Zhu family about the positioning of the Nether Civet.

The Zhu family is nominally a noble of the Star Luo Empire, but in fact everything is dependent on the royal Dai family, so whether it is the configuration of soul skills or fighting style, attention must be paid to making up for the shortcomings of the White Tiger Spirit.

Especially the daughter of the Zhu family, who is capable of martial soul fusion skills, must put her husband's needs first.

As the influence of the article grows, the positioning and functionality of the soul master will only become more and more obvious. So, how can the Zhu family cooperate with the Dai family?

According to the current classification of soul master types, the Dai family's White Tiger Martial Spirits are all close-combat, standing-type, and attack-type soul masters. In order to make up for the lack of output breakthrough ability of the White Tiger Spirit, the Zhu family's Nether Civet can only choose the development path of a melee output type agility attack type spirit master.

However, from the perspective of the Star Luo Empire, in order to unify the continent, there is a greater need for reconnaissance-type agility attack system soul masters, which are more useful in large-scale battles.

This caused a split. Even the current emperor de Gaulle didn't know how to arrange the Zhu family.

The suggestions given by Gu You are more like the development route of investigation type. Now that my sister has decided to follow the original path of the family, there is nothing wrong with taking another path.

Freedom, freedom like never before.

There is no need to move forward according to the family's requirements, no need to choose attack skills for survival, as long as one's martial soul "wakes up".

Zhu Zhuqing even felt that his soul power had improved, but now it was exactly level 20. Zhu Zhuqing felt that this was just an illusion because he was in a good mood.

"The name Gu You..." Zhu Zhuqing silently stared at Gu You's face. Young, energetic, and the brilliance contained in his eyes shines like hidden gems.

Shaking his head inwardly, he denied this possibility.

"Stealth... Okay, then how do I find the Shadow Lizard?"

"Don't worry, I snatched your original soul ring, so I will definitely compensate you for a better one." Gu You didn't know if he didn't care, he looked around not knowing what he was looking for.

"The shadow lizard is pretty easy to catch, you can just leave it to us." After saying that, Gu You walked over to Tang San and said something to Tang San without waiting for Zhu Zhuqing's reply.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Tang San and shook his head at Gu You. Gu You's expression suddenly changed. After he said something to Tang San, Tang San's expression also changed, and the two of them sat there and started discussing.

"Woo-"

Lan Ta opened his eyes, and what he saw were the worried faces of everyone.

"Lanta, how do you feel?" Meng Yiran asked worriedly.

Even if Lanta didn't have any violent reaction during the process of absorbing the soul ring, Meng was still worried that something would happen to her.

After all, the first soul ring is five hundred years old, which is really shocking in this era.

Lanta smiled and said, "It's okay, Sister Yiran, I made you worry."

She stood up, briefly moved her limbs that were a little stiff after sitting for a long time, and said to Gu, "Brother, I succeeded."

Gu You nodded. There were no surprises at the beginning. Gu You knew that there would be no problem in absorbing this soul ring. He asked Ranta directly: "How is the effect?"

Lanta didn't answer, and stretched out his hand to summon the Sky Bow.

The Bow of the Sky was originally just an ordinary bow, but the difference was that the whole bow was sky blue with some black lines on it.

But now, the sky blue bow body turned into dark blue, and the bow handle was covered with black and purple animal skin.

The black patterns on the bow limbs have completely changed. The patterns on the upper limbs are a crescent moon and cypress, while the patterns on the lower limbs have become bears, deer and wild boars.

The tip of the bow turned golden, and a noble aura rushed towards his face.

"This...is this?" Xiao Wu was stunned. The changes in Lanta's martial spirit were so great that she couldn't accept it for a while.

"The level 13 soul skill, and this new Sky Bow, should now be called Sky Bow (Light). The moonlight flower's soul ring gives my soul power the light attribute energy."

Ranta opened the new Sky Bow. The soul arrow that was supposed to appear on it did not appear, and was replaced by an arrow composed of photons. As soon as his hand was released, a streak of light passed by and disappeared into the jungle on the opposite side.

"The arrow of light speeds up the arrow and strengthens its penetrating ability, which can cause better damage."

Tang San and others had smiles on their faces. Although it was not a powerful skill like Crescent Moon Shield, at least it was not a meaningless soul skill like smell enhancement. Being able to awaken a rare attribute like light attribute was an unexpected surprise.

Gu You clearly sensed that something was wrong, and Lan Ta did not tell the price, which meant that this was not a soul skill, but an additional attribute of the soul skill.

"Lanta, what are the soul skills and the price?"

Lanta quickly glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing behind Gu You and looking at her curiously. Since her elder brother asked her to tell her, this person could be trusted.

"As expected of a big brother, you can tell at a glance that what I'm talking about is not a soul skill."

In one sentence, Ranta offended others. Lanta didn't pay attention, looked down at the brand new Sky Bow, and said: "My soul skill has only one effect, and that is the soul ring that seals the enemy."

"Sealed Soul Ring?!" x4

Zhu Zhuqing was surprised by this powerful effect. You must know that the rumored "erasure" can only erase the effect of the ability, and the price is that you will not be able to use soul skills for a period of time.

Now this soul skill can actually seal the opponent's soul ring, directly preventing the soul skill from being activated. This is much better than erasing.

"It is indeed the "symbol of the moon god". It is really a terrifying soul skill effect." Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but have this thought.

On the other side, Tang San, Xiao Wu and Meng Yiran knew very well that the stronger the effect of the soul skill given by Moonlight Flower, the greater the price.

The cost of "erasing" is the cooling of the soul ring, and the cost of blocking the attack with the crescent moon shield is the loss of the soul ring ability. This soul skill directly makes the opponent's soul ring lose the ability to use soul skills. So, what's the cost?

"The cost is my teammates. Every time my opponent loses a soul ring, I will make a teammate lose all his soul ring abilities."

As soon as he heard this price, Gu You became happy.

Isn't this the mutated "forbidden drop" that liberates a teammate and neutralizes the enemy's spirit ring?

I just don’t know whether I can choose which spirit ring to seal by myself, whether it has a sure-hit effect, whether it will be blocked, the criteria for teammates’ judgment is also a mystery, and I don’t know whether it will be useful against spirit beasts.

But it's not a big problem. Powerful soul skills always come with risks.

Right, Caesar.

"What a terrible price, worthy of the "Moon God's Prank"." Zhu Zhuqing thought to himself.

"Lanta, we'll talk about your soul skills later. We also need to help Zhu Zhuqing obtain the soul ring."

"Mistress."

"It's done."

Gu You nodded and said to Zhu Zhuqing: "The shadow lizard's combat effectiveness is too poor. In order to survive, it has evolved powerful sensory abilities and can quickly find food that it can hunt or easily obtain."

"So..." Gu You pointed to the jungle. Everyone looked in the direction and saw a piece of dried meat exuding an alluring smell in the shadow next to the tree roots.

How could it not be tempting, it’s even sprinkled with cumin and allspice!

Gu You pointed around again, and only then did everyone realize that there were dried meats placed under the surrounding big trees.

"...Is that dried meat moving?" Xiao Wu pointed at one of the dried meats and asked hesitantly.

Gu You gave an accurate answer: "Yes, it's moving."

“Every piece of jerky is moving.”

Hearing Gu You's answer, Xiao Wu got goosebumps. The dried meat in the shadow was moving, but I couldn't see anything. Isn't this the ghost in the ancient story?

Tang San reminded: "Xiao Wu, pay attention to those shadows."

After hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Wu looked intently and noticed that the shadow behind the meat jerky was chewing on the meat jerky. Because of the dim light, it seemed that the meat jerky was moving on its own.

"You see, those are shadow lizards. Among the soul beasts in this forest, only shadow lizards and coyote dogs have such a strong sense of smell. The coyote dog's area of ​​activity is not around here, so all the ones it seduces are shadow lizards. "

"Now, just find a suitable one."

Hearing this, Tang San took out the bone-penetrating nail. Different from the bone-penetrating nails that Xiao Wu had seen before, the cap part of the bone-penetrating nails that Tang San took out this time became transparent, and there were some strange lines on it.

I saw Tang San using the technique of the goddess scattering flowers to accurately insert the brand new bone-penetrating nails around each piece of dried meat, forming a circle with a radius of one meter.

Gu You snapped his fingers, Tang San waved his hand, and bluesilver grass rose from the ground under Tang San's feet, each one wrapped around the bone-penetrating nails accurately.

In an instant, each bone-penetrating nail emitted a dazzling light, exposing the shape of the shadow lizard in the middle.

A soul-guiding hidden weapon, a bone-penetrating nail that shines brightly.

After Gu You and Tang San sacrificed countless soul guide lamps, they finally successfully separated the magic circle that converts soul power into light from a group of magic circles, and successfully copied it onto the hidden weapon Penetrating Bone Nails.

Although it has various problems such as no energy supply, so it cannot be used alone, and the characteristics of light and concealed weapons do not match, etc., it gives the Penetrating Bone Nail a completely new job, which is to open a path.

All of Tang San's hidden weapon techniques will imbue the hidden weapons with soul power, which means that when thrown, the bone-penetrating nails will shine slightly due to the residual soul power.

Coupled with the blue silver grass that Tang San can generate at will in a large area and the first soul skill Rooting to convert vitality into soul power, in a dark environment, he uses bone-penetrating nails to open a path, and then uses the first soul skill to input soul power. .

The result is to turn on the street lights.

Of course, this sudden light can also reveal things hidden in the darkness. Unfortunately, the Shadow Lizard was the first living creature to experience this usage.

Gu You quickly glanced at all the shadow lizards. Because they were suddenly exposed to strong light and there was no shadow to sneak into, all the shadow lizards were stunned and did not move.

"The one in front of the left. Lanta, limbs!"

"Yes, big brother." Lanta quickly pulled the bow four times, and four arrows of light accurately hit the limbs of the shadow lizard.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing did not wait for Gu You to speak, and directly possessed the spirit, and sent the shadow lizard away with a nether stab.

There was not even a trace of blood on the sharp claws. Zhu Zhuqing brushed the hair behind her and turned to ask: "Is this the one?"

Gu You answered stupidly: "...Yes, it is it."

After getting a definite answer, Zhu Zhuqing did not ask any more questions, and sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the spirit ring. Gu You was left dumbly saying: "Hey, wait a minute, I haven't introduced it yet."

An hour later, Zhu Zhuqing opened his eyes.

Before everyone gathered around, Zhu Zhuqing shouted, "The Netherworld Spirit Cat, possessed."

Under normal circumstances, after the Netherworld Spirit Cat spirit possesses a body, the eyes will turn into different-colored pupils, the left eye is dark green, and the right eye is clear blue. But now, Zhu Zhuqing's left eye has not changed from dark green to black, but the right eye has changed from the original clear blue to black.

Unlike the black pupils without spirit possession, the black pupils after spirit possession have completely lost their luster. Even if someone looks at the pupils, there is no reflection of that eye. It's like a black hole, swallowing all the light.

The spike-like cat claws turned completely black, and an ominous black mist was wrapped around the body. Even if Zhu Zhuqing just stood there quietly, there was a hazy sense of illusion.

Tang San couldn't help but use the Purple Extreme Demon Eye, so that he could confirm that what he saw was real.

"Level 22 spirit power, is this the true power of the Netherworld?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at her hands in disbelief. Darkness wrapped around her body, and the deep power made her addicted. Zhu Zhuqing had an illusion of being integrated with the darkness.

"How do you feel?"

Looking in the direction of the voice, Gu You appeared in front of Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing's hair stood on end, and she jumped into the shadow of the forest.

"???"

Gu You looked at his body, and there was no blood or other strange things. Why did Zhu Zhuqing behave like this?

Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed as she came to her senses. She walked out of the forest quickly and said a little embarrassedly, "Ahem, I just absorbed the soul ring and I can't adapt to it for a while."

"... It's okay, I don't mind." Gu You was skeptical, but now was not the time to care about this, "The effect of your second soul skill..."

Zhu Zhuqing smiled and said, "As you said, the netherworld power of my martial soul has awakened."

Looking at the black mist wrapped around her hands, Zhu Zhuqing said confidently, "The effect of my second soul skill allows me to lurk in the shadows, and I can shuttle through the shadows by consuming a certain amount of soul power. It also greatly enhances my movement speed and perception ability."

"The second soul skill is called the netherworld..."

"It's called the stealth attack." Gu You didn't give Zhu Zhuqing a chance to finish, and directly snatched the soul skill naming rights.

———————————————————

ps1: The soul guide has an anti-theft function. After it is disassembled and used once, the entire magic circle will be scrapped. If you have ideas about how to change the soul guide into a hidden weapon, please submit them here.

ps2: Some friends scolded me for not describing Zhu Zhuqing like a normal person. Let me clarify, this is the truth.

She is the second daughter of the Zhu family of the Xingluo Empire and the fiancée of the prince. How could she be a normal person? It's good that she didn't become some of the people you can see everywhere on the Internet.

Those are fake, but she is real. According to her class status and education, these behaviors are normal.

Everyone's good impression of Zhu Zhuqing mainly comes from her hard work and her attitude of searching for her husband thousands of miles away, and the other part comes from the contrast of Dai Mubai. (At least this is the case with me)

In the original book, she is a member of the "mediocrities who dare not cause trouble". As for how normal she is after receiving education in the Xingluo Empire... you can judge for yourself.

Considering the effects and characteristics of the shadow lizard, the final design becomes a Pokémon. Zhu Zhuqing is certainly not a pure reconnaissance soul master. If the first soul ring is based on the protagonist's idea, it will become a soul skill such as "weakness perception", and the third soul ring will provide output. Lurking, perception, and burst, take it away in one set. I have to work overtime again tomorrow, how can I write a book! ! ! Please recommend and monthly votes~~~
