Douluo Continent: Starting from Leading Ferocious Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 77 The Tower of Ten Thousand Souls and a Billion Bones

"&*%#%……%"

I heard we're going to have to fight those two-legged beasts.

"*……￥#3#￥#！~"

Yes, yes, I heard the same thing from the neighbor's family next door of my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather's second uncle's cousin. It seems that after this fight, we can go out and play.

"...￥#...#*&&"

What's fun to do outside? I heard that although the area is big, there's not much to eat.

"|?:>&%#￥@"

Yeah, what's the point of going out if there's no food? It's better to stay here, catch some prey every day, eat, sleep, and then eat again.

Two white tigers lay leisurely in the shade of a tree, basking in the sun, chattering in a language that humans couldn't understand.

Because of Lu Wu's actions last time, even thousand-year-old soul beasts possess considerable intelligence. More importantly, he imprinted demonic runes into their bloodlines, so as long as they have a certain level of intelligence, they can automatically learn demonic runes.

The two white tigers were resting as usual, but unlike before when they would roar back and forth, leaving everyone confused and having to guess what was going on, they had successfully learned to chat.

The same scene was happening everywhere in the Star Dou Great Forest. Although there were many demons that had awakened their intelligence, they had not been developing for very long. The soul beasts below them did not have that much ambition and were still willing to charge into battle for the top demons, risking their lives.

Xiong Jun was also preparing for war. He was currently next to a deep pit, inside which was a constantly writhing, irregular mass of metal, the very creature from the first discovered mineral vein.

Seemingly sensing a familiar presence, the creature in the mine became noticeably more agitated, raising its top to climb out of the deep pit and land in front of Xiong Jun.

"Want to fight alongside me?"

Xiong Jun smiled, emanating a powerful aura. The power of Geng metal continuously gathered in his paws, attracting the creatures of the mineral veins to approach.

"it is good."

The creatures of the mineral vein responded to Xiong Jun with their naive consciousness.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make you the greatest work ever!"

Xiong Jun spread his arms wide and, with a voice as loud as thunder, made his declaration to the creatures of the mine.

Although the previous Fire Dragon King was very powerful and had many functions, it did not belong to Xiong Jun. It still belonged to the Fire Dragon King. He and the Red King just wanted to use it to improve their skills.

Having already gained experience, Xiong Jun found the guy he was most destined to meet; he had his eye on him for a long time.

A pure metal vein, almost without any impurities, may contain some other types of metals that can be used elsewhere to help the creatures in the vein after refining them to make up for their defects. After all, a single type of metal is too easy to target.

"From now on, your name will be Xiong Jin."

Xiong Jun laughed heartily and gave a name to his upcoming new magic weapon.

"Bear Gold?"

A dazed consciousness buzzed, unsure whether it understood or not, but it kept repeating those two words, and its immense mental power transformed into shockwaves that spread in all directions.

Xiong Jun glared, and his condensed spiritual power formed a wall to block the shockwave. Otherwise, all the soul beasts within a radius of more than ten kilometers with a strength of less than 100,000 years would have been killed by the shockwave.

Xiong Jun rubbed his aching head. Now it wasn't just a physical headache, but also a psychological one.

Although the guy in front of us is very strong, there is a painful point: he can't control his power well. In other words, the mental attack he just suffered might come again from time to time.

It's not a big deal normally, but if you get a little flushed while you're focused on crafting magical artifacts, it can be quite serious.

Moreover, it's so dangerous that weak soul beasts will die instantly if touched, so he has to find a remote place to refine it.

Xiong Jun found himself in a state of both joy and pain.

"Never mind, I'll just treat this as a way to hone my mental strength."

Xiong Jun slapped his forehead and decided to go for it. At worst, he could use this one as an experiment and then switch to another one. Anyway, he had discovered quite a few. Apart from the one in front of him, the others were less intelligent and easier to persuade (deceive).

If all else fails, just erase their intelligence; Master Lu taught them this method.

However, Xiong Jun wanted to refine a magical artifact with intelligence, as Lu Shi had described, which is why he chose this mineral vein with its immense spiritual power.

"Let's go, my darling, let Grandpa Bear take good care of you."

Xiong Jun instantly transformed, his body rapidly expanding to hundreds of meters in size. He bent down, grabbed the creature from the mineral vein, his muscles tensing, and swung it up onto his back. He then carried his precious treasure in another direction, each step causing the ground to tremble.

The Crimson King was not idle either. After refining the Fire Dragon King's remains, they realized their own limitations. The Bear King wanted to refine a magical artifact with sentience, while the Crimson King chose to amplify himself.

In a certain open space, a mountain of bones, hundreds of meters high, stood tall. Beside it, a large group of soul beasts continued to deliver bones, following the Crimson King's orders to collect the remaining corpses in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Crimson King sat to one side, with purplish-black flames spewing from the mouth of one of his heads. Another head controlled the bones on the nearby mountain of white bones to be moved into the flames for forging, while yet another head observed and controlled the body to refine magical artifacts.

He continuously formed hand seals, and strange powers merged into the flames. The white bones did not turn to ashes as usual, but melted into a peculiar grayish-white fluid that rolled around in the flames. Occasionally, black substances would float out from it, which were the impurities inside.

Di Tian was also by the Crimson King's side, but he wasn't idle. The Kingdom of Death unfolded, and countless soul beasts' souls helped him inscribe runes within his kingdom.

With the help of Di Tian, ​​the spiritual power can be divided into countless forms, and each soul beast's soul can still create simple talismans.

Judging from the joyful expressions of countless soul beasts in the Land of Death, it's clear that they still believe their Beast God wouldn't betray them, and they feel immensely honored to be able to create value for their Beast God.

Di Tian's attributes are somewhat similar to those of the Crimson King. Since the Crimson King needed Di Tian's help to refine this magical artifact, he invited Di Tian to assist him.

"Add another hundred souls."

The Crimson King spoke to Emperor Tian.

Di Tian didn't care. He randomly picked out a hundred souls, made them put down the talismans they were still engraving, and then controlled them to fly one by one into the purplish-black flames.

The wailing continued, and a vaguely transparent, hideous face appeared in the flames.

"Red King, how many more souls do you need?"

Di Tian frowned slightly. He didn't care about a portion of the soul beasts' souls, since soul beasts were all about the survival of the fittest. There were soul beasts that ate souls before, but it was not good for the Crimson King to keep consuming them without stopping.

"I don't know either. I just tried my best to create the most powerful magical artifact within my capabilities."

"The Tower of Ten Thousand Souls and Billions of Bones!"
