Material for Studying Soul Attacks
A thin mist floated in the mountain forest at midnight, making it difficult for those within it to discern directions.
"Call out!"
Hua Yixuan sped off like an arrow, heading towards the Spirit Resonance Rainforest at full speed.
He ignored the sound of the wind whipping up from the high-speed movement, his mind lost in thought.
Not long ago, the Spirit Resonance Rainforest Beastfolk sent him an encrypted communication through a special channel.
The information contained in this communication made Hua Yixuan's mood even heavier.
His father, Hua Guangqi, was originally scheduled to depart for the Lantiao Continent at 5 a. m. this morning.
Thanks to the efforts of the high-ranking members of the Spirit Resonance Rainforest Beastfolk, the time was delayed until six o'clock, which is after sunrise.
This point in time is the limit that the Spirit Resonance Rainforest Beastfolk can delay.
Despite the fact that the Spirit Resonance Rainforest Beastfolk were dissatisfied with Hua Guangqi due to the huge losses they had suffered.
However, they also understood that handing over Hua Guangqi would be an absolute blow to the entire Spirit Resonance Rainforest Beastfolk.
They were naturally unwilling to hand over Hua Guangqi.
Such talent is better off making amends at home than being imprisoned in the main network and forced to work for them for free.
However, since they were indeed in the wrong in this matter, the main faction had ample reason to arrest Hua Guangqi.
Ultimately, they had no choice but to publicly agree to the main branch's decision.
Hua Yixuan was fully aware of all of this; he knew the helplessness and hardship of the Spirit Resonance Rainforest Beastfolk.
Therefore, he did not stop or waste time replying to the encrypted communication.
Instead, he mobilized all his Psychic Energy and rushed towards the Spirit Resonance Rainforest.
He sped up faster and faster, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, completely absorbed in his journey.
He had only one thought in his mind: to get to the Spirit Resonance Rainforest as soon as possible.
He then used his military achievements and the pretext of assisting in the mission to create an opportunity for the Spirit Resonance Rainforest Beastfolk to leave Hua Guangqi behind.
The fog grew thicker and thicker.
Half an hour into their journey, Hua Yixuan realized something was wrong.
Logically speaking, he should have already arrived in Yin City by now.
But thirty minutes passed, and he was still going around in circles in the thick fog.
He stopped, only to realize with a start that he could no longer tell where he was.
He couldn't even find his way around.
He stopped immediately.
When he was activating his Psychic Energy at a high intensity, he experienced a long-lost rapid breathing, and mist mixed with the air was inhaled into his body.
Behind Hua Yixuan, several soft, slender, black and red tentacles emerged.
You can see that their tips are extremely sharp, swaying as they wait for their chance to strike.
Time was of the essence, and Hua Yixuan was determined to force his way through the eerie white mist.
However, before he could make any other move, several feathers, each only the length of a little finger, swiftly shot towards his vital points.
Hua Yixuan's body moved instinctively.
He shifted his body slightly to the side, and the oncoming attack grazed the ends of his hair.
With his hair cut off, Hua Yixuan sensed the direction from which the attack came.
The tentacles behind him grew rapidly, like giant worms.
One of the tentacles suddenly lashed forward.
"Bang!"
The tentacles slammed into the ground, the immense impact causing noticeable fluctuations in the mist.
However, this was much less disruptive than the experiments Shisui had conducted previously; the fog area hadn't been cleared at all.
The hunter, hidden in the fog, found no trace of him.
This can't go on.
Hua Yixuan thought.
The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; we're too passive. We need to force the enemy out of the shadows to have any chance of winning.
Just as he was about to skip the probing and gather all the tentacles to attack together, the fog area changed.
More Radiant Feathers converged from all directions, swirling and intertwining to form a storm-like attack on their prey.
Just as Hua Yixuan was preparing to dodge the attack again, a sudden change occurred!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
One explosion after another rang out, sending up clouds of smoke and making the thick fog even denser.
Firmly
Hua Yixuan was completely enveloped by the tentacles, so his body did not suffer any major damage.
However, facing the attack head-on resulted in his tentacles being either severed or crippled, making him look quite pathetic.
The tentacles wriggled, seemingly trying to repair themselves, but remained motionless.
The next moment, Shisui's figure appeared to the side and in front of Hua Yixuan.
He avoided the tentacles that still bore remnants of his body, Rinkaku Scorpion Tail shot out, aiming directly at the prey's eyes.
Hua Yixuan's pupils suddenly contracted, no longer suppressing the repair speed of the tentacles.
At the same time, the Insect Hive Threads on his body multiplied wildly, and a blood-red color instantly began to spread across his body.
The silk threads covered Hua Yixuan's tentacles in half a second.
The crimson tentacles continued to grow upwards at an extremely rapid speed, crashing into the scorpion's stinging tail, attempting to break the Kagune in half.
But Hua Yixuan too naive.
Would Shisui not realize that he was deliberately revealing a flaw to lure him out?
The Kakugan can clearly see the direction of Psychic Energy, and can easily detect changes such as interruption and suppression.
But he still made a move.
When there is a significant disparity in combat strength, deliberately revealing weaknesses is no longer a tactical tactic.
It was a complete misjudgment.
"Clang!"
The crimson tentacles struck the suddenly appearing dark Bikaku, as if striking reinforced metal.
This attack didn't cause much damage to Bikaku, but it changed Shisui's expression.
Hua Yixuan did not notice this.
His tentacles were completely overwhelmed in a single encounter.
Compared to his twisted, still-growing, soft tentacles, his Bikaku was flatter and longer.
The densely packed, neatly arranged scales shimmered with a dark red luster, creating a magnificent and dreamlike appearance.
It looks like a ribbon, yet it possesses terrifying resilience and strength.
Those were tentacles completely different from those of the worm race.
Before the scorpion's sting pierced his brain, Hua Yixuan couldn't help but think.
These were the most magnificent tentacles he had ever seen, yet also the least tentacles-like.
"Pfft!"
The long, sharp stinger pierced the brain of its prey.
Hua Yixuan's body went limp instantly, and the light in his eyes dimmed at a visible speed.
His brain began to die.
But before it completely stopped operating, Hua Yixuan seized the last chance.
He did not resist, but instead poured all his Psychic Energy into the Insect Hive.
Shisui's Kakugan immediately locked onto the location of the Insect Hive.
The fog receded, and the Insect Hive attempting to transmit intelligence was sealed off by Spatial Energy.
However, since the Insect Hive specializes in the soul realm, a trace of Soul Energy still managed to escape.
"Tsk."
Shisui grabbed the Insect Hive, shook it hard, and forced the thing to shut down temporarily.
We can't stay here any longer; the Beastfolk will arrive quickly once they receive the distress signal.
But he wasn't angry about it.
The fact that it could break through his Spatial Lockdown and release a trace of Soul Energy only shows that this thing has extremely high research value.
Moreover, he clearly felt it when the prey's red tentacles collided with its Bikaku.
My own soul has been attacked.
It doesn't hurt him; it can't cause him any harm.
But that was enough to surprise him.
He was really worried about not finding any material to research soul attacks.
