In this way, this kind of ghost soldiers refined through Yin Soul is really a very malleable species. Not only can it use the deep command of a single ghost soldier through spiritual thoughts, it can temporarily distort their shape to achieve any desired form. It can also fix the shape after their "birth" through the transformation of the formation during the initial sacrifice.
From this point of view, the ghost soldiers refined through Ghost Banner can not only be a kind of combat ghost soldiers, but also develop various auxiliary ghost soldiers. The more Lei Dong thought about it, the more excited he became. Once inspiration emerged, he really discovered the endless changes of ghost soldiers.
First of all, the energy "piggy bank" must be developed. This kind of thing is related to the combat effectiveness of the ghost soldiers. In fact, the design of the ghost soldiers such as the piggy bank is very simple, just learn from the previous design of the pot belly.
In just two or three days, the design plan had been perfected many times. Then Lei Dong asked the tool spirit to help add this design to Ghost Banner. Another hundred were made in one go.
Looking at the hundreds of new arms floating in front of him, Lei Dong was filled with emotion.
This kind of ghost soldier, which Lei Dong calls "Qi Storage Ghost", has no trace of the shape of a ghost at all. Its shape is exactly like a round flesh ball, about the size of a football. But when it shrinks, the wall of the ghost body is very thick, leaving only a space about the size of a billiard ball in the middle.
At this time, Qi Storage Ghost was in an unloaded state. Lei Dong tried to wrap Netherworld Ghost Qi around a Qi Storage Ghost. As if instinctively, it extended a big mouth on its "body" and started to devour Netherworld Ghost Qi.
It devoured extremely fast, and a large amount of Netherworld Ghost Qi was sucked into its body. From the naked eye, you could see that its football-sized body was rapidly expanding. It stopped devouring only after it expanded to the size of a water tank.
At this time, Qi Storage Ghost is fully loaded with Netherworld Ghost Qi. The thick "meat wall" has also become as thin as a cicada's wing, which contains a huge amount of Netherworld Ghost Qi that has been compressed to a very high density. Through its thin body at this time, you can clearly see the Netherworld Ghost Qi inside that is as dense as ink and is almost pressed into a liquid form.
Lei Dong wiped a cold sweat. This kind of "Qi Storage Ghost", which did not consider other abilities at all and only increased its wall thickness and pressure resistance, its storage capacity is really too strong. The Netherworld Ghost Qi I just stored in it cost one-thousandth of my own Profound Yin True Essence to transform.
Lei Dong also tried to put it into Ghost Banner and then release it. It can come in and out freely without reducing the gas storage capacity.
Lei Dong tried again, letting a fully loaded Big Belly Cannon Ghost fire a shot at Xuanyuanzi. Then he came back to supplement Netherworld Ghost Qi. Qi Storage Ghost only spit out a part of Netherworld Ghost Qi, which was enough for Big Belly Cannon Ghost to absorb its full power.
Good thing, really good thing. Just such a Qi Storage Ghost, the Netherworld Ghost Qi that can be stored in it is enough for the Big Belly Cannon Ghost to fire ten rounds of Netherflame Cannonball. This means that as long as there are thousands of them, it is enough to drain all the power out of the body.
In normal times, it doesn't matter if the true energy is exhausted. Anyway, take Top Grade Spirit Stone, take the elixir, and then meditate to regain your breath. You can slowly replenish the original power in the body, Profound Yin True Essence, and it only takes one day.
It can be seen that in Lei Dong's free time, he can continuously produce a large amount of Qi Storage Ghost to store himself a reserve of Netherworld Ghost Qi.
In terms of energy reserve, Lei Dong had a temporary solution, so he started researching the elite soldier strategy. Lei Dong has been playing Myriad Ghost Banner for decades. He has repeatedly tried the cannon fodder Ghost Sea strategy and the elite soldier strategy. It can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages of the Ghost Sea tactic are: first, there are more ghosts than in numbers. Second, it doesn't hurt if a large number of people die. Finally, in some situations, the Ghost Sea tactic is very advantageous.
The strategy of elite soldiers is that Ghost Sea will shrink significantly and it is difficult to form a scale effect. In terms of total combat power, it is much smaller than Ghost Sea, and even if one of them dies, it will be heartbreaking. For example, according to the suppression method of Ghost Banner, if Lei Dong wants to evolve all the ghost soldiers to the combat power of Nascent Soul level, then it is estimated that the magic dragon plus Lei Dong can at most suppress seven to eight. But if these seven or eight Nascent Soul level ghost soldiers fight head-on with the seven or eight hundred thousand elementary ghost soldiers, the final winner will definitely be those seven or eight hundred thousand elementary ghost soldiers. Ghost soldiers, and it is estimated that more than half of them are left. And if one Nascent Soul level ghost soldier dies, it will make people heartbroken. How many resources must be spent to get such one? The cost is too high to be imagined.
This is the result of Lei Dong possessing perverted spiritual thoughts and Ghost Banner. Therefore, ordinary ghost monks who play Myriad Ghost Banner rarely play elite soldier strategy, cannot afford it, and cannot play it.
However, high-level ghost soldiers also have advantages. They have strong individual assault capabilities and can cooperate with their masters to kill monks of the same level with ease. Their overall quality is countless times stronger and their speed is faster. They are very advantageous whether chasing the enemy or escaping, and their tactics are also very flexible. Because they can completely control each high-level ghost soldier through their spiritual thoughts, making very delicate tactical coordination. Unlike Ghost Sea tactics, once high-level enemies want to escape, it is very easy.
For Lei Dong, both have their own advantages. But for ordinary monks, there is no need to think about it, they must choose Ghost Sea.
In fact, even for Lei Dong, Ghost Sea tactics are more advantageous. Because the enemies he personally faces are often very high-level. Take Xuanyuanzi, let him slaughter a Golden Core level's time is not much different from that of crushing an elementary ghost soldier to death. However, a Ghost Banner's ability to suppress a Golden Core level's existence requires thousands of times the spiritual power of an elementary ghost soldier.
However, Ghost Banner seems to be a little different. Under the strong sacrifice of Ghost Banner, an ordinary Yin Soul can actually reach the ability of Qi Refining High Stage. But in fact, in terms of consumption of spiritual energy, it is no different from ordinary garbage ghosts, and it is not even at the beginning of Qi refining.
Among them, it seems to have strong operability. If the ghost soldier is stacked with resources to Nascent Soul Early Stage, how much actual ability can it exert with the blessing of Ghost Banner? Is it the Nascent Soul Mid-tier level? Or a higher level? This is unknown, because Lei Dong has not been tested.
If Nascent Soul Early Stage only needs the ghost soldiers consumed by spiritual thoughts to bring out the actual combat effectiveness of Nascent Soul Peak, then Lei Dong might bite the bullet and spend all his money to get just two or three of them.
As a result, Lei Dong needed to do some experiments. First, he used Soul Devouring Pagoda to secretly get four top-grade Spirit Ghost, and one extreme Spirit Ghost with special qualifications. Then he quietly refined them into several arms, among which the Top Grade Spirit Ghost was refined into Big Belly Cannon Ghost.
This kind of ghost weapon is made by using Spirit Ghost with Spiritual Root qualification. On the surface, it looks no different from ordinary ghost soldiers, even the breath fluctuations are no different. But in fact, it has a completely different essence.
The ghost soldiers refined by junk Yin Soul want to advance by devouring souls and flesh, which is slow and wasteful to the extreme. As for the ghost soldiers with Spiritual Root qualifications, although their spiritual potential is completely destroyed during the process of sacrifice, Spiritual Root still has some effect. They can still achieve evolution by devouring flesh and blood.
Of course, this kind of evolution is much worse than Natal Ghost Servant, and requires a huge amount of resources to maintain their evolution. Naturally, you can also choose to cultivate it into a wild ghost general first, and then sacrifice it. But this method has no advantage over the former. Because after a wild ghost general is sacrificed, it will be at the level of an ordinary Foundation Establishment level ghost soldier.
And in front of Xiao You, Lei Dong didn't want to make things too cruel.
Then Lei Dong started feeding them. There were still a lot of remaining ghosts in Ghost Banner. Now these ghosts have been eliminated. They can be used to feed and catalyze the ghost soldiers.
To say that the God of Hades is extremely powerful, he has given the ghost race a special gift of Devouring Evolution. After devouring a large number of ghosts, the top-grade Big Belly Cannon Ghost first evolved from the level to the level of Foundation Establishment. This is only calculated from the level of the spiritual energy it consumes. In fact, after calculation, its overall ability is infinitely close to the peak of Foundation Establishment.
This makes Lei Dong overjoyed, but this is also in line with common sense. Essentially, the most elementary ghost soldiers are not even at the beginning of Qi refining, but they can exert Qi Refining High Stage's actual abilities.
This can only be said that Netherflame Ghost Banner is really awesome. Lei Dong worked hard for it, and even Nine Nether Ghost Flame and Chaos Essence Iron invested in it, and it was not in vain.
Lei Dong continue to feed them and continue to catalyze.
The previous ghosts were consumed in large quantities, and the best Big Belly Cannon Ghost, because Spiritual Root was so good, took the first few steps to advance to Golden Core Initial Stage. Its body shape has not changed much, it is still like an ugly and bulky black fat insect.
But in fact, it has completely changed. From being promoted to the primary level of Qi Refining, to the primary level of Foundation Establishment, and then to Golden Core Initial Stage, it has evolved to three major levels. The ghost body on its body is still full of ghosts. It has a scale-like shield, and the Netherworld Ghost Qi in the big belly has been completely compressed to a liquid state by its big belly, like a vat of translucent ink, containing majestic energy. At a glance, it looks ferocious and fierce.
Lei Dong tested it and found that the total ability of this Big Belly Cannon Ghost is almost similar to that of Golden Core High-tier. But the flying speed is not fast, only about the same as the ordinary Golden Core Initial Stage.
Next, Lei Dong began to conduct the most important test on it with some anticipation, which was the power test of the Netherworld Cannonball. You must know that the spiritual resources consumed by just this Golden Core level ghost are equivalent to the consumption of thousands of elementary Big Belly Cannon Ghost.
