Layout Star Dou 2

The Core Region truly differed from everywhere else. Soul Power was abundant in every direction here, probably three or four times denser than in the outer regions!

With these cultivated plants, along with an unlimited supply of thousand-year fertilizer—many Soul Beasts still needed to eat. Even if they could cultivate, eating was instinctive, so bones and flesh did not go to waste—many of the plants had already transformed into thousand-year ones after two months. Some were still undergoing transformation. When these plants evolved to the thousand-year level, their growth surged explosively, and they developed faint consciousnesses, already able to communicate simply with other Soul Beasts!

Once the Soul Beasts outside learned that thousand-year Plant Type Soul Beasts had been cultivated, many came running to see them. Even some injured ones came over. Originally, the healing effects of a thousand-year Soul Beast were limited, but there were so many of them now. With dozens of Healing Type Soul Beasts treating injuries at once, the effect had already caught up to that of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast! Seeing Jerry's results, the Soul Beasts were all delighted. They consciously strengthened the defenses here considerably, and some Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts without clans even moved in directly!

Next, Jerry told the apes to continue irrigating them with thousand-year fertilizer! Once these plants grew to 9,999 years, they could use ten-thousand-year fertilizer. After all, fighting among Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts had become much less frequent, and there were not many Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast bones available!

After handling so many bones, Jerry had not found a single soul bone. Tang San truly was the chosen son of fate in the Original Work, able to get soul bones so easily! Then Jerry suddenly remembered that Tang San should be reporting to Shrek Academy around this time and would soon come to hunt his Third Soul Ring! An idea suddenly occurred to him!

Jerry called Er Ming over and told him to go to the Thousand Year Region at the edge of the forest, kill all the Man Faced Demon Spiders, and bring them back!

Man Faced Demon Spiders lived by slaughter. Even after reaching the ten-thousand-year level, they remained dim-witted, continuing to kill and devour, so many Soul Beasts hated this kind of spider.

This should have been an easy task for Er Ming, but lately, seeing how well Jerry had developed the forest and how good his relationships with many Soul Beasts had become, Er Ming had started cultivating diligently and stopped bothering with other matters. Da Ming had always cultivated at the bottom of the lake, while Sister Xiao Wu was even more impressive. She cultivated with Jerry every day, and whenever she had nothing to do, she ate Carrots. Her cultivation progressed rapidly. Er Ming had eaten Carrots too, but they had no effect on him, so he stopped eating them. Thus, Er Ming also began cultivating diligently. For the things Jerry assigned him, Er Ming simply ordered the Soul Beasts beneath him to handle them! When passing along the message, he casually said to kill the Man Faced Demon Spiders in the forest and bring them back! This led to a huge misunderstanding. Within a single day, the corpses of over sixty Man Faced Demon Spiders were transported to the Core Region. Man Faced Demon Spiders had little meat, and no Soul Beasts ate them, so their intact corpses were brought back and piled into a small mountain! Not even ten-year or hundred-year ones were spared. There were more than a dozen ten-thousand-year ones, two or three thirty-thousand-year ones, and the strongest had already reached Sixty Thousand Year! When Jerry saw those corpses, he was truly speechless. One word from Jerry, a mistaken order from Er Ming, and the entire forest's Man Faced Demon Spiders had been wiped out!

In the past, Da Ming and Er Ming had always cultivated and rarely managed these Soul Beasts, allowing them to develop naturally! They had been very unqualified Soul Beast leaders. Now that Jerry had arrived, the Soul Beasts had become much more united. That was why, once an order was passed down, it was immediately carried out with terrifying efficiency. This was also an important reason why the Man Faced Demon Spiders could be dealt with in a single day!

Jerry was now effectively the backbone of the Soul Beasts, so they were all willing to cooperate! The matter was already settled. This had ruined Tang San twice at once! In the Original Work, Xiao Wu's sacrifice had also happened because of a sneak attack by a Man Faced Demon Spider! Tang San killed the Man Faced Demon Spider, and only after the Eight Spider Lances devoured it could they evolve! Now, the future trouble had been eliminated outright!

Jerry began having the apes help dissect the Man Faced Demon Spiders. Sure enough, he found the Eight Spider Lances, an External Soul Bone, inside the body of a thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider. Even the Sixty Thousand Year ones had no soul bones, showing just how precious soul bones were! Jerry tried absorbing the soul bone, but there was no reaction at all. This External Soul Bone had to be absorbed together with a soul ring; otherwise, it was merely a hard piece of bone. It was useless, impossible to absorb! Yet throwing it away would be a pity!
