Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 204: Dark Abyss Sky-Splitting Mantis
At the bottom of the valley, beneath the cracks.

A deep abyss several hundred meters below.

Holding the Dark Demon Scythe and with the assistance of Jixiang, Xu Keming ended the life of a mantis.

It was a giant mantis with a dark green body and covered with black and gold magic patterns.

Especially the two sharp-looking blades of the mantis, emitting a dark luster, are extremely eye-catching in this dark abyss.

"Thank you, brother." Xu Keming turned around and looked at Jixiang. Although he still had an expressionless face, he couldn't suppress the extreme excitement in his tone.

This place was where Jixiang guided him to.

Here, they discovered an extremely rare soul beast that was once extinct - the Abyss Sky-Splitting Mantis.

Due to the habit of female mantises devouring male mantises during mating, as well as various natural enemies and environmental factors, the number of mantis soul beasts among the entire soul beast population is pitifully small.

Among all the mantis soul beasts, the rarer the species, the fewer there are.

As an extremely rare soul beast that is considered to be almost extinct by the soul master community, the Dark Abyss Sky-Splitting Mantis has not appeared before the eyes of soul masters for thousands of years.

The Dark Abyss Sky-Splitting Mantis, as the name suggests, possesses the two top attributes of darkness and space. Its soul beast bloodline is at the same level as the Titan Giant Ape, the king of the forest. It is the soul ring choice that any soul master whose martial soul possesses the attributes of darkness and space dreams of.

Whether it was Xu Keming or Luo Minghua, the inheritor of the God of Space whom he had mentioned, they had all fantasized about owning a Dark Abyss Sky-Splitting Mantis's soul ring.

Luo Minghua longed to obtain the soul ring of the Dark Abyss Sky-Splitting Mantis because space soul beasts were too rare, and the space attribute of the Dark Abyss Sky-Splitting Mantis was also top-notch among the few space soul beasts.

But Xu Keming is different.

The spatial attribute can be matched with any martial soul, and darkness is the attribute that his martial soul needs. In addition, the two sharp double blades of the mantis soul beast are in line with the dark devil's sickle.

It can be said that the Abyss Sky-Splitting Mantis perfectly meets his needs for the Dark Demon Scythe martial spirit ring, and also comes with a versatile space attribute.

"No, this is what I should do." Jixiang lowered his head embarrassedly.

It was all thanks to his teacher Alex that they were able to find this place.

But it was not convenient to tell others about his teacher's existence, so Jixiang had to thicken his face and accept the praise from his good brother whom he had just met.

"Unfortunately, this Dark Abyss Sky-Splitting Mantis is a little young, only a little over two thousand years old." Xu Keming walked forward, looked at the condensed light purple soul ring, his tone somewhat regretful.

But he quickly adjusted himself and thought:

"But it doesn't matter. My first three spirit rings are all hundred-year spirit rings. Even if the backlash of the Dark Devil Scythe is gone because of the inheritance of the gods, my physical fitness is not up to the standard of a normal soul sect to absorb the fourth spirit ring."

"Although it is only more than 2,000 years old, the quality of the Dark Abyss Sky-Splitting Mantis is extremely high, and the difficulty of absorbing its spirit ring is much more difficult than other types of spirit rings of the same age."

"The current situation should be just right."

A few minutes later, Xu Keming brought the corpse of the Dark Abyss Sky-Splitting Mantis and Jixiang back to the bottom of the valley from the abyss hundreds of meters underground.

They have already surveyed this place and found it to be safe and well hidden.

Therefore, Xu Keming absorbed the soul ring here with confidence.

While he was absorbing the soul ring, Jixiang stood by to protect him.

Time passed slowly, and it was unknown how much time had passed. Alex, who had been lurking in Jixiang's sea of ​​consciousness to rest, suddenly appeared beside him.

Electrolux's illusory figure floated in the air, looking up into the distance, with a complex expression of shock and solemnity mixed on his wrinkled old face.

"Teacher, what happened?" Seeing the teacher suddenly appear, Jixiang first glanced at Xu Keming, and found that the other party was still in the process of absorbing the soul ring. Then he looked at the teacher and asked in confusion.

"Oh, nothing." Alex slowly floated in front of Jixiang, stroked his beard and said:

"I just sensed the aura of divine consciousness and was a little surprised."

"The Xingdou Great Forest is indeed the largest gathering place for soul beasts on this continent. There are beings that have reached such a realm. It is truly a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

Spiritual consciousness? Jixiang asked quickly: "Teacher, is there a spirit in the Xingdou Great Forest?"

"I can't say for sure." Alex shook his head and answered slowly:
"The one that Master sensed was only able to sublimate his spiritual power into divine consciousness. He is not yet a true god."

"As for whether there really is a god in the Xingdou Great Forest, I don't know much about this forest. Maybe there is a god, maybe there isn't. It's hard to say for sure."

Jixiang nodded, not quite understanding. Out of awe for the gods, he had a little more respect for the Star Forest.

Seeing this, Alex didn't say anything, but just smiled faintly.

Although Jixiang has inherited the legacy of the God of Light, with the help of his teacher, as long as he does not die, he is destined to become the new God of Light in the future.

But Jixiang is still young at this time, and it will not do any harm to have more awe of nature in his heart, which can also prevent him from developing many bad habits and bad behavior.

……

The center of the Star Forest.

The cold moonlight shines down, vaguely illuminating the night scene here.

In the lake, the Azure Bull Python's head was exposed, and its huge body was immersed in the lake water.

"What's going on with Lao Er? Why hasn't he come back in such a long time? Could it be that he ran off with Xiao Wu to have some fun without telling me?"

No wonder the Azure Bull Python would think so.

Although Er Ming is a stubborn person and would not expect this to happen, Xiao Wu may not be so sure.

In the past, before Xiao Wu transformed into a human, she loved playing the most, and she was the type that would never get tired.

This time I left the Star Dou Great Forest and went to the human world for five full years. Now that I have finally returned to my hometown, I must have some fun.

The Azure Bull Python looked back at the Tree of Life and the Scepter of Destruction in the center of the lake, looking a little lonely.

It originally thought that since it and Er Ming, as soul beasts, could not obtain the recognition of the divine creature, then since Sister Xiao Wu had already transformed into a human, perhaps they could succeed.

Although Sister Xiao Wu's true form is a very common soul beast, the Soft Bone Rabbit, its attributes do not match the two attributes of life and destruction.

But precisely because it is ordinary, it is more compatible with a variety of different attributes.

As for talent, any hundred thousand year old soul beast that chooses to transform into a human, no matter what kind of soul beast it is, has the top cultivation talent among human soul masters.

At this moment, the Azure Bull Python hesitated whether to leave here to find Xiao Wu and Er Ming, but after thinking about it carefully, it decided not to.

If, while it's away, this place is raided by other soul beasts and the ancient tree and the scepter in the center of the lake are stolen, it would be a huge loss.

For example, the three Thousand-Jun Ant brothers who have been cultivating for more than 90,000 years not only have this strength, but also have this evil heart and courage.
