The darkness only lasted a few seconds.
When their sight returned again, they were already standing in a completely unfamiliar world.
The sky is gray, and the sun cannot be seen, but there is plenty of light. Looking around, there are towering ancient trees. The trunks are so thick that they need several people to hug them, and the branches and leaves are so lush that they almost block the sky. The vines are like snakes Entangle. Among them, the ground is covered with thick humus, which is soft when stepped on, with a unique elasticity.
The air is filled with a strong moist smell, mixed with earth, moss, and--
Bloody.
Zhong Shenxiu Take a deep breath.
At that moment, his light golden vertical pupils suddenly shrank.
What a rich spiritual power of heaven and earth!
It was obviously just brainwave access, it was obviously just a false world made of data, but the <Eternal Myriad Dragon Source Art> in his body was running wildly, devouring everything around him hungrily.
No.
Not false.
Zhong Shenxiu closed his eyes, Clear Dragon Heart urged it with all his strength.
The feeling of the breeze blowing against your skin is real.
The pulse of the earth beneath your feet is real.
The energy of heaven and earth floating in the air is also real.
Even more intense and pure than the outside world.
He opened his eyes and raised the corners of his lips in an almost imperceptible arc.
Is this the demiplane controlled by Spirit Pagoda?
Sure enough...
It's a good thing.
"Ho--"
A low beast roar came from the depths of the dense forest.
The sound was not far away, and along with the roar, a faint fishy wind blew towards my face.
Zhong Shenxiu didn't move.
He just stood there quietly, his eyes slightly narrowed and his nose twitching slightly.
The information coming from the wind is very rich - Soul Beast is not small, about two meters tall and weighs about 150 kilograms. It is moving very fast and is approaching here. There is a faint rancid smell in its breath, it should be the carnivore Soul Beast, and it has eaten recently.
And...
He tilted his head slightly.
There are also those behind you.
Not one, but two.
One is approaching from the front, and two are outflanking from the rear.
A very standard hunting formation.
Zhong Shenxiu's lips raised slightly.
It's really the truth among the lies.
He raised his hand.
In the palm of my hand, light began to gather.
The light was blazing and pure, and it condensed from nothing to something in just a short moment.
The light elongated and solidified, turning into a dragon-shaped spear with light gold lines flowing throughout its body.
Sky Light Dragon Spear.
He didn't look back.
He didn't even change his stance.
He just stood there quietly, as if he knew nothing about the coming danger.
There was a subtle rustling sound in the bushes behind him.
The voice was very soft, so soft that ordinary people couldn't hear it. But Zhong Shenxiu's ears moved, and an almost indifferent calm flashed through those light golden vertical pupils.
Close.
Closer.
A black shadow shot out from the bushes behind him at such a fast speed that it left afterimages in the air.
It was a wolf-shaped Soul Beast covered with dark blue fur, with exposed fangs and a bloodthirsty light in its eyes. Its target was very clear - the human standing motionless.
Nether Wolf.
A hunter who is good at sneak attacks.
It chose the moment, the angle, and the prey.
Then--
Zhong Shenxiu moved.
He didn't turn around, didn't aim, didn't even look.
He just turned around and stabbed.
That shot was as if it was made in heaven.
The tip of the gun accurately penetrated Nether Wolf's open mouth, penetrated the upper jaw, penetrated the skull, and emerged from the back of the head.
The whole process takes less than tenths of a second.
It was so fast that it seemed as if the shot was waiting there, just waiting for Nether Wolf to hit him.
Nether Wolf didn't even have time to let out a scream. Its body froze in the air for a moment, and then hung limply on the gun body. Zhong Shenxiu shook it and fell to the ground.
Blood spreads on the humus ground.
At the same time, another black shadow jumped out from the bushes in front.
It saw the death of its companions, but it did not flinch.
The world of Soul Beast is like this - death is the norm and fear is a luxury.
It pounced on Zhong Shenxiu's throat.
Zhong Shenxiu didn't even look at it.
He just flicked his wrist, Sky Light Dragon Spear drew a perfect arc in his hand, and the tip of the gun shot out like a shooting star.
Right between the eyebrows.
The second corpse of Nether Wolf fell heavily to the ground, its limbs twitched twice and stopped moving.
Two shots.
Two lives.
Less than two seconds before and after.
Zhong Shenxiu took back the spear and glanced at the two corpses on the ground.
"Too weak."
he whispered.
Just then, the two corpses began to glow.
That's the rule of Spirit Ascension Platform - kill Soul Beast, and the energy of Soul Beast will be fed back to the killer.
Dots of light floated up from the corpse, as light as fireflies, flying towards Zhong Shenxiu.
The halo penetrated his body.
At that moment, Zhong Shenxiu's eyes lit up.
Such pure energy!
Those light spots that poured into the body were not absorbed by Soul Power and strengthened like ordinary Soul Master. Instead, they all poured in one direction--
His Soul Spirit.
In the world of spiritual introspection, Earth Dragon Lizard, who had been entrenched in his Sea of Consciousness, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.
What kind of eyes are those?
Hungry and thirsty.
Greed.
Crazy.
Earth Dragon Lizard opened its large mouth, swallowing the incoming Soul Beast energy like a whale sucking water. Its body began to tremble violently, and its dark blue scales exploded one by one, and were reborn one by one.
Transformation has begun.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine years.
This is a threshold.
There is a threshold between Soul Spirit and Thousand-Year Soul Spirit.
For Earth Dragon Lizard, this threshold will be broken today.
Zhong Shenxiu watched quietly.
Looking inside, Earth Dragon Lizard's body is expanding and elongating.
The scales that originally had some lizard characteristics are now becoming thicker and harder, with faint golden lines appearing on the edges.
The limbs became thicker, the claws became sharper, and every finger and claw shone with a metallic cold light.
The most significant change is its head--
The dragon lizard's head originally had a somewhat reptilian flatness, but at this moment, those characteristics of a lizard are fading away, replaced by a more majestic and domineering outline. The skull has become wider and thicker, the lower jaw is stronger, and the sides of the forehead--
There are two small bumps.
That's the rudiment of the horn.
The dragon's blood boils.
Within Earth Dragon Lizard, the bloodline belonging to the dragon clan was completely ignited. The dragon power lurking deep in the bloodline awakened crazily at this moment.
Thirty percent... forty percent... fifty percent...
The moment the dragon blood ratio exceeded 50%, Earth Dragon Lizard looked up to the sky and roared.
No more the neighing of a lizard.
It's the dragon's roar.
Transformation, completion.
Looking inside, the figure of Soul Spirit has completely changed its appearance. It is no longer a crawling reptile, but a dragon beast standing upright.
Its body size is nearly twice as large as before, exceeding three meters from head to tail.
The whole body is covered with dark golden scales, and each scale has a metallic luster.
The limbs are as thick as pillars, and the sharp claws are deeply embedded in the ground. Although the horns on the forehead are only a short section, they can already tell the future is prosperous.
Earth Dragon.
