Douluo Dalu: I Have a Soul Beast Clone.

Chapter 277 Encounter and enlightenment!
The price of a soul beast cub.

Especially for the cubs of high-level soul beasts like the Nether Spirit Cat, they would probably be sold at sky-high prices by human nobles. And they are the kind that are in short supply.

It’s not that this kind of cat is so precious, but because it is rare, and rare things are valuable.

Many noble ladies are proud to have a high-level soul beast cub as a pet! Because it represents identity and status. Having such a pet is often very face-saving in front of others. It is also a symbol of wealth and status!
Therefore, those who can do this kind of thing are basically powerful soul masters. Zhu Zhuqing didn't think the female cat could win at all. In order not to be caught by humans, she could only hide first. As for the rest of her brothers and sisters, she could only say sorry.

Hiding in a hole under a rock.

Zhu Zhuqing tried to curl up her body, and at the same time, she pricked up her ears and listened to the movements outside... She could vaguely hear the shouts of the seventh soul skill, the fifth soul skill... and the like. At the same time, there was the fierce roar of the mother cat, accompanied by rumbling and banging sounds... Just by listening to the sound, she could imagine the fierceness of the battle outside.

She tried her best to control her breath, and her whole body couldn't stop shaking! It wasn't because of fear, but because she was struggling inside.

Although she knew rationally that even if she rushed out, it would be useless, as the other party was clearly well prepared. There were so many strong people, and even if she rushed out, she would not be able to change the outcome.

But emotionally, she felt extremely disgusted with herself for hiding here! She felt that what she was doing was no different from Dai Mubai back then? The same cowardice, the same self-centeredness.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The noise from the outside world gradually faded away, but Zhu Zhuqing remained motionless in the hole under the stone, fearing that she would be caught if she went out now.

Some time passed.

When it felt it was about time, it carefully pushed the stone above its head, revealing a pair of heterochromatic cat eyes. It glanced left and right and found that the entire nest was in a mess.

I carefully crawled out from under the stone and sniffed lightly. I could smell a lot of strange smells. From this, I could tell that there were more than a dozen humans not long ago. There was also a strong smell of blood.

When it walked out of the cave, it found the unrecognizable body of the female cat not far away. The good fur on the body had been stripped away, revealing the bloody flesh, and even the bones were torn into pieces, as if it was looking for something?
Zhu Zhuqing understood that they were looking for soul bones. Even if the probability was very low, what if? Therefore, after killing a soul beast, soul masters would basically dismantle the soul beast's body to see if there were any soul bones.

In the past, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She just thought it was a little bloody.

But now, looking at the unrecognizable corpse of the mother cat that had fed her for many years, Zhu Zhuqing deeply realized how cruel human beings were. She had unintentionally become an accomplice without knowing it.

He walked slowly to the dead body of the mother cat and stared blankly at the broken corpse. A feeling of uncontrollable sadness surged into his heart.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't describe how she felt at the moment. She just felt very uncomfortable, especially uncomfortable.

Perhaps, without realizing it, she really regarded the mother cat and her kittens as her family.

'sorry…'

'…I can't do anything.'

She said silently to the mother cat in her heart.

Whether it was helping the mother cat to avenge herself or taking back those cubs, it was not something she could do now.

Even if it is a hundred thousand year old soul beast, if it dares to enter the human world, it will only die.

Given the slow growth rate of soul beasts, Zhu Zhuqing would not be able to become a 100,000-year soul beast without practicing for several hundred years. By that time, the bones of the humans who killed the mother cat and took away the cubs would probably have turned to ashes.

It was because she realized this that she knew she could do nothing. Even if she became a soul beast, she was still so powerless.

Zhu Zhuqing curled up beside the unrecognizable body of the mother cat, like a shy little animal, and fell into a state of complete autism.

Suddenly, a voice came. "Hey, my king, look! There is a kitten here." A mature but lively female voice came.

Zhu Zhuqing was startled, and before she could react, she felt someone grabbing the fur on the back of her neck. Then the whole cat was lifted up and hung precariously in the air.

"Meow!!!"

A sharp cry came from the mouth of the little black cat. Zhu Zhuqing instinctively tried to bite the hand that was holding her, but found that her claws and teeth could not cause any damage to the hand at all.

‘It’s over! ’

Realizing her own weakness, Zhu Zhuqing cried out in her heart. I didn't expect that I escaped the first wave of people, but failed to escape the later ones. Is it God's will to kill me?
But soon, it found itself trapped in a warm... two % bigger than its head, making it almost unable to breathe.

"Be good, little one, don't be naughty~"

A mature woman with black hair and red eyes gently stroked the fur on the kitten's back and smoothed its coat.

"It seems that a battle took place here not long ago."

A deep and magnetic voice was heard.

Li Changan looked at the cat-shaped soul beast on the ground that was almost chopped into pieces, with its tendons and skin peeled off, with an extremely calm expression. Because he had seen too many similar things.

"The Netherworld Spirit Cat has quite a bit of potential."

The nine-headed snake floating in the air glanced at the corpse on the ground, and then looked at the little black cat in Mo Ji's arms, feeling that it had a connection with this little cat. The two had just planned to find some soul beasts with high potential to develop into a demon race, but when they followed the breath and came here, they found that the original target was dead. Only a little cat was left.

If left alone, this kitten, which is less than a hundred years old, would not survive more than three days in this forest without the protection of its mother.

It is fate that we met. In this case, let's enlighten this kitten and develop it into a demon.

A ray of white light flashed from the tip of the nine-headed snake's tail, and then it swung and landed on the little black cat that Mo Ji was holding in her arms.

This is the art of enlightenment!

It was he who developed and enlightened those ignorant soul beasts, allowing those soul beasts that only had animal nature to develop the most basic spirituality and be able to practice cultivation.

After being enlightened, some soul beasts with high qualifications will have their intelligence greatly enhanced, even if they cannot transform into human form immediately. A very small number of them can even speak human language.

Li Changan was going to use the Enlightenment Technique to test the qualifications of these soul beasts. The higher the qualifications, the greater the benefits after enlightenment. The more worthy of cultivation.

And after that point of white light fell on my body.

Zhu Zhuqing only felt as if an electric current ran through her whole body, and the soul power in her body also underwent a subtle change at this moment, as if it had turned into a strange energy.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she instinctively wanted to express what she was thinking at the moment.

"Meow!"

"...let...go...out...of...your...nest!"

A childish voice suddenly came out muffled from Mo Ji's proud place.
