Tang San first had Li Ke absorb her Soul Ring.
Afterward, he had a conversation with the Black Tri-Stars.
He discovered that he could now converse with soul beasts possessing a certain degree of intelligence. Was the soul beast bloodline within him at work?
Of course, it might also have been thanks to his memories of playing with his animal friends.
After hearing Tang San out, the Tri-Stars hurriedly began digging through the ore pile.
Sure enough, a dark shadow darted out.
Blue Silver Sky Lock!
Blue Silver Creation Palm!
Tang San subdued the dark shadow in an instant. Looking closely, he found that it was a translucent, crystalline insect.
The Gem Crystal Insect was a soul beast capable of absorbing all kinds of essence from the sun, moon, heaven, and earth to transform itself. Its final form was not fixed; it might become a scorpion, a spider, or even a butterfly.
It often appeared where minerals accumulated and enjoyed absorbing treasure qi. These minerals were also crystallizations of the essence of heaven and earth.
This creature was much like a grain weevil. Its appearance meant that precious metal ores were about to suffer.
It was highly suited to gem-type or defensive martial souls, and depending on the treasure qi it absorbed, it could also develop various attributes.
The treasure qi this Gem Crystal Insect had absorbed was quite a jumble, as the multicolored crystals on its body made clear.
Upon closer inspection, its exposed core radiated a purple so deep it was almost black. It was roughly nine thousand years old, approaching ten thousand.
This little fellow had certainly absorbed plenty. The heaps of metals and gems that had lost their luster within the ore pile showed just how much treasure qi the insect had consumed.
