Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 208 Devouring Souls
Li Zhen searched for the spiritual clam pearls very quickly, finding one every few minutes on average.

The speed at which Fighter Kai swims at the bottom of the lake is the speed at which he searches for the Spirit Clam Pearl. As long as he swims over the Spirit Clam Pearl, he will be able to find the Spirit Clam Pearl under the mud.

The most time-consuming process is to fish the clams out from under the mud.

In about an hour, he completed the task of obtaining ten spirit clam beads.

However, this task does not limit the number of spirit clam pearls. As long as you have the ability to collect them, no matter how many spirit clam pearls you get, they will be collected at 30 credits each.

Just as Li Zhen was thinking about collecting more, he looked at his palm.

The palm of the second-level fighter armor looked a little strange at this time. Not only the palm, but the entire arm was flashing with crystal light, as if it was coated with a layer of glowing paint.

"Turn on the cleaning system!" Li Zhen issued an order to the fighter armor's intelligent system.

There was electric light jumping on the surface of the fighter armor, which was caused by the use of high frequency and high temperature to clean the outer shell of the fighter armor.

As the electric light swept across the entire arm, the crystal light on the arm had no effect, as if the crystal light did not belong to a physical entity.

Li Zhen has discovered that something is wrong. The crystal light from the spiritual clam pearls that he has been contaminated with must not be a good thing, and this crystal light is difficult to clean.

"The time is up, let's go back to the lake first!" a senior student said.

"Don't worry, we will be fine with the help of the clam juice!" said the captain with a faint smile.

"It's really pitiful, his talent ends here!" another senior shook his head.

"A genius who has grown up is a genius. Anyway, the Soul-Eating Shrimp can't take his life, and we will be the benefactors who saved him!" said the captain with a hint of sarcasm.

This is their real mission, a secret mission issued by Vice President Gu himself.

They are subordinates of Vice President Gu. If Vice President Gu can take over as president of the Student Union, they will be the biggest beneficiaries.

Li Zhen's existence blocked Vice President Gu's path.

Vice President Gu took advantage of the opportunity when Vice President Zheng went to a meeting and used his power to prepare this great gift for Li Zhen.

The most disgusting thing is that even if Li Zhen knew everything afterwards, he could do nothing because his own foundation had been destroyed.

The task of collecting spirit clam pearls is the best task in the eyes of informed students, and it is the task they are eager to take on.

On the other side, when Li Zhen realized that something was wrong, the sunlight was blocked by the mountains and there was no sunlight on the surface of the lake.

From the mud, tiny shrimps emerged.

Although the shrimps are small in size, their numbers are extremely large. By the time Li Zhen discovered them, the shrimps were already floating in the lake like dark clouds.

As soon as the shrimp came out of the mud, it was attracted by the rich smell of the clam pearl juice.

The "dark cloud" rushed towards Li Zhen. Due to the huge number of shrimps, the "dark cloud" did not give Li Zhen any room to escape.

"These are soul-eating shrimps!" Li Zhen recognized the species of these soul shrimps.

Although there is no relevant knowledge about this type of spiritual clams in the teaching knowledge due to the scarcity of spiritual clam pearls, the school has introduced the spirit-eating shrimp as a very difficult underwater monster.

The reason why the Soul-Eating Shrimp is difficult to deal with is because it devours the souls of human monks by devouring their spiritual roots. This makes the Soul-Eating Shrimp the most hated monster by human monks.

At this time, Li Zhen had no idea what was happening. He could guess that the crystal light on his arm was the cause of attracting the Soul-Eating Shrimp.

All of this was done deliberately by the three seniors from the Student Union. He had no grudge against the three seniors, which made him think of the threatening words of Vice President Gu.

Li Zhen was thinking about something when the Soul-Eating Shrimp was getting closer and closer to him.

A faint dragon aura rose from him. No matter how attracted the Soul-Devouring Shrimp was to the aura of the Soul-Devouring Clam Pearl, it was unable to resist the intimidation of the dragon aura.

Immediately, the Soul-Eating Shrimp fled in all directions, and no Soul-Eating Shrimp dared to approach Li Zhen.

Li Zhen's eyes flashed with anger, but he couldn't attack the senior directly. With the identity bracelet connected to the Internet, if he did anything, it would be recorded by the senior and reported to Aoki University.

Attacking students from the same school is a very serious crime. Unless he wants to betray Aoki University and even be wanted by the Immortal Country, he would never do it.

Suppressing his anger, he found that the escaped Soul-Eating Shrimp did not run far. After leaving the range of Dragon's might, they seemed to have forgotten the threat.

It seems that the Soul-Eating Shrimp's memory is not long-lasting. It forgets what happened before in just a few seconds.

The soul-eating shrimps have not yet come together, and this is their normal state.

The aura of the Spirit Clam Pearl made them crazy. Originally, they should have been attracted by the aura of the Spirit Clam Pearl on Li Zhen again, but the deterrent power of the dragon's might remained deep in their souls, causing them to ignore the aura of the Spirit Clam Pearl emanating from Li Zhen.

"How did you get here?" The captain asked in surprise as he looked at Li Zhen approaching.

Of course he was surprised. Looking at the fighter armor on Li Zhen's body and his entire arm covered with spirit clam pearl juice, shouldn't he be surrounded and attacked by the spirit-eating shrimps in this situation?

Although the fighter armor has good defense, the Soul-Eating Shrimp has a special attack method. Although the Soul-Eating Shrimp are small, they can turn reality into illusion when attacking the target, ignoring the entity and directly entering the target's body.

"I'm lucky. I found more clam pearls. I'll share the extra ones with you!" Li Zhen said as he threw three clam pearls to the three seniors.

The way he threw them was using the Object Control Technique. At the same time, he cast the second-level 'Wind-Breaking Technique' on each Spirit Clam Pearl.

That is to say, he is now at the ninth level of Qi training, and can barely use the second-level 'Wind-breaking Technique', a second-level spell learned from the 'Wind-breaking Talisman'.

The clam bead was blessed with the "wind-breaking technique". After being thrown out, the lake water in front of it automatically parted, making the speed of the clam bead extremely fast.

The three seniors were still shocked as to why Li Zhen was stained by the juice of the spirit clam pearl and his whole body was filled with the scent of the spirit clam pearl, but he had not been attacked by the spirit-eating shrimp.

The spiritual clam pearl thrown by Li Zhen has fallen into their hands. When Li Zhen threw the spiritual clam pearl, he did not have any intention of attacking, he just sent the item, so his behavior did not make the three seniors feel dangerous.

Therefore, they did not react until the three seniors held the spiritual clam pearl in their hands.

The three seniors hurriedly threw away the Ling Clam Pearl, but it was too late. Their palms were already stained with the scent of the Ling Clam Pearl, and the crystal light was displayed on their palms.

They still had a lucky mentality. Since Li Zhen was contaminated by the juice of the clam pearl and was fine, they should be fine too.

But just after they were contaminated with the scent of the Spirit Clam Pearl, the Spirit-Eating Shrimp that were originally scattered around them seemed to have received a battle order, and "dark clouds" appeared in the lake again.

Li Zhen dodged far away. He maintained the extremely faint dragon power on his body, so the "dark clouds" under the water stayed away from him.

The three seniors were not as lucky as him. Amid their screams of fear, a large "dark cloud" enveloped them.

The Soul-Eating Shrimp are distributed in the lake. They are small in size and will not actively attack unless stimulated by the aura of the Soul Clam Pearl.

The attack was launched at this moment. The nearest Soul-Eating Shrimp was right next to the three seniors, so the three seniors had no time to react before the Soul-Eating Shrimp got close to them.

Li Zhen saw the terrifying power of the Soul-Eating Shrimp, even though the three seniors had summoned their own defensive methods and formed energy shields outside their bodies.

But the Soul-Eating Shrimp ignored all of this. The "dark clouds" seemed to exist in another space and easily passed through the energy shield.

The captain had an extra talisman in his hand, and this talisman carried a strong heat.

Before the captain could activate the talisman, the soul-eating shrimps came into contact with the captain's clothes and skin, and once again penetrated into them.

This attack method made Li Zhen feel a chill. The attack method of the Soul-Eating Shrimp was too strange.

The captain screamed one after another. He tried hard to activate the talisman, but he just couldn't muster the energy. The attack of the Soul-Eating Shrimp made it impossible for him to concentrate, let alone activate the talisman.

The other two seniors, like the captain, were also suffering terrible torture. Devouring spiritual roots was destroying the foundation of a cultivator, which was the most painful thing for a cultivator.

Spiritual roots are the foundation of a cultivator's practice. A cultivator's ability to connect with natural spiritual energy is due to the function of spiritual roots. Once the spiritual roots are diminished or even lost, the cultivator will become a mortal.
