The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 110 Devouring the Undead

Just as Xia Liang was about to kill, the Death Spider that had launched the sneak attack suddenly turned and ran away, covering hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.

The eight-meter-tall ossified Susanoo half-skull form enveloped Xia Liang. With a thought, the ossified Susanoo raised its left hand forward, and a huge black-purple Susanoo bow appeared on its wrist.

At the same time, the ossified Susanoo made a drawing motion with its right hand, and an arrow burning with black flames was already formed on Susanoo's bow.

Xia Liang's clairvoyance locked onto the Death Spider escaping 300 meters ahead. With a thought, he suddenly released the boned Susanoo bow with his right hand.

In a flash of black light, the arrow burning with black flames disappeared into space, ignoring all obstacles in its path, and shot straight at the rear of the Death Spider.

External soul bones have growth potential. After Xia Liang absorbed the fourth soul ring, along with the energy from devouring the Red-Eyed Tree Demon King and the upgrade of the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul, the power of the external soul bone Susanoo Bow was greatly enhanced.

Both its attack speed and lethality are now vastly different from what they used to be.

The Death Spider moves very fast, but compared to the speed at which the Susanoo Bow fires an arrow, it is clearly inferior.

Just as the Death Spider leaped from the ground onto a tree branch, the arrow that had vanished into space suddenly reappeared, piercing the Death Spider's rear end with a loud whooshing sound and exiting from its head.

As purple blood splattered from its body, the Death Spider was pierced through by an arrow and died in mid-air.

puff--

The corpse of the Death Spider fell to the ground, its body, pierced by a large hole, broken into pieces as if all its joints had been severed.

Seeing this, Xia Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the power of the arrow had been weakened; otherwise, the arrow would have surely shattered the Death Spider to pieces, and even if it had a soul bone, it wouldn't have been able to be extracted.

Instantly appearing before the corpse of the Death Spider, Xia Liang did not use his domain to seal the Death Spider's undead spirit. Instead, he manipulated the skull of the Bone-Transforming Susanoo to open its mouth.

As the dark attribute was activated, the undead floating on the corpse of the Death Spider were sucked into the skull of the Bone-Transformed Susanoo. With a swallowing motion, the undead of the Death Spider were devoured.

This is a method I just mastered a month ago: the way the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul devours the undead.

Since outsiders cannot see the existence of the undead, even if someone witnesses the process of the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul devouring the undead, they will not know what the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul is doing.

The moment it devoured the undead spirit of the Death Spider, the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul had already refined it into its own energy.

Xia Liang noticed that the necromantic power of his martial soul had increased, and he also discovered that his soul power had increased slightly.

Although it wasn't the first time he had experienced the growth of his martial soul attributes and personal soul power from devouring the dead, he still couldn't help but feel a wicked thought when he felt this way again.

If one cultivates by devouring the dead, the speed at which one's soul power levels up will be quite remarkable.

After retracting his necromancer skeleton spirit into his body, Xia Liang suddenly realized that since he had devoured the spirits of several soul masters and soul beasts, he was definitely a corrupt and evil soul master. He had to be careful not to be devoured by evil thoughts in his future cultivation.

At this moment, a black, ten-thousand-year soul ring gradually appeared on the Death Spider's shattered corpse.

Xia Liang used his X-ray vision to scan each fragment of the corpse and finally discovered a dark purple, bone-like object with fluctuations in soul power.

It really is a soul bone!

The telekinetic grabbing effect of the external left metacarpal bone was activated. Xia Liang reached forward with his left hand and suddenly grabbed the blackish-purple bone-like object lying on the ground along with the fragments of the Death Spider's corpse.

This wasn't the first time a soul bone had been found, so Xia Liang recognized it at a glance. This dark purple, bone-like object was indeed a soul bone, specifically the left arm bone that had broken off from the Death Spider's left foreleg.

As expected, the Bone Observation Realm of the previous X-ray vision was able to tell whether a soul beast had the potential to drop a soul bone.

That makes sense. If the drop of soul bones is random, then when they killed Tang San's Human-Faced Demon Spider, it wouldn't have been possible for it to drop the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances like in the original story.

Looking at the 20,000-year-old Death Spider's left leg bone in his hand, Xia Liang was overjoyed. The ice-attribute soul bone he had picked up in the far north was not suitable for Dugu Yan, so he could leave this poison-attribute soul bone to her.

Just then, Xia Liang's worst fears came true. As the Death Spider's soul ring appeared on its corpse, five uninvited guests swiftly emerged from the forest.

It wasn't the most threatening soul beast that arrived, but seeing these five people still made Xia Liang's heart sink.

This Death Spider had previously fought with a Soul Master, and it had been struck in the abdomen by a golden energy arrow, most likely indicating that it escaped from a Soul Master who was skilled in archery.

During the battle just now, Xia Liang used the Susanoo Bow in order to finish the fight quickly. If a Soul Bone was dropped, he would grab it and leave the spot immediately so that he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered.

These five unexpected guests are probably the Soul Master team fighting the Death Spider.

Since he had anticipated that the other party would arrive, Xia Liang had naturally prepared a countermeasure. He used half of his soul power to create a spatial starting point and connect it with the bone dragon dagger that was hidden five miles away.

Just as the five uninvited guests appeared, Xia Liang had already used spatial teleportation to instantly teleport five miles away. After storing the left arm bone of the Death Spider in his silver bracelet, he consumed a food-type soul skill that shielded him from aura and mental detection, and then rushed towards the entrance of Death Canyon at top speed.

Having already cultivated to level 49 of Soul Power and located the Shadow Lord's whereabouts, this trip to Death Valley has been worthwhile. Rather than staying here waiting for those five uninvited guests to come knocking, it's better to leave quickly.

As a figure disappeared from the spot, the five uninvited guests who had rushed over were stunned.

"Brother Mo, it's a teleportation-type soul skill. The opponent killed the demon spider and then ran away."

A man in white glanced at the mangled corpse of the Death Spider on the ground, then at the black spirit ring that had appeared on it. He stroked his chin and analyzed, "He killed the spirit beast but didn't absorb the spirit ring. Instead, he ran away when he saw us. Don't you find that suspicious?"

"What's suspicious?" the heavily made-up woman scoffed. "He definitely knew this Death Spider was our prey, and he ran away feeling guilty after killing it. He's more afraid of being questioned by us than of the Soul Ring!"

"Fifth Sister, you're still as brainless as ever." The man in white glanced at the heavily made-up girl. "Judging from that Soul Master's series of preemptive actions, he's definitely a very cautious person. Haven't you considered the possibility that such a cautious person might have obtained something more important than a Soul Ring and, fearing discovery, used a teleportation-type Soul Skill to escape in time?"
