Yun Che was very pleased. He was not in a hurry to take action. Firstly, he wanted to see where the limit of Ruan Caocao was? Secondly, he also did not want to gain too much experience, otherwise his Position God Realm and Cultivation would not be able to suppress it.
"Although they are just some Divine Realm little karami, they still have some Stamina value, and they must not be left behind."
With this in mind, Yun Che separated a ray of Divine Sense while paying attention to Ruan Caocao's situation, and began to capture the puppets that were constantly attacking.
"Ding! The capture was successful, congratulations on getting 40,000 points Stamina."
"Ding! The capture was successful, congratulations on getting 23,000 points Stamina."
"Ding! Capture successful..."
Ruan Caocao holds an aqua blue Ice Crystal Staff, and his left hand changes handprints one after another. As complex light patterns flash one after another, the powerful Water Element Spell is also smashed out.
The blue gem at the top of her staff suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and several thick spiral water columns rose from the ground, smashing all the puppets that came towards her. Then she pressed her finger on the side, and those spiral water columns instantly transformed into giant dragons, roaring and swooping down, crushing the puppets into powder.
In just a moment, the dozen puppets rushing at the front were gone, leaving only broken armor fragments and a faint cool breath in the air.
"Tsk tsk tsk, who said Water Element Mage is weak? This is so strong!"
Yun Che felt that there was no need for him to accompany him to attend. It was ridiculous that this little girl had a scared expression on her face before.
At this moment, a group of ghost-like Soul-Devouring Beasts flew out of the cave. They were completely black and their shapes were erratic, as if they were condensed from pure shadows. They flapped their bone wings and made a sharp neighing sound, and rushed towards Ruan Caocaos.
Each of these Soul-Devouring Beast is of the Divine Realm level, and there are Spirit God Realm and Position God Realm hidden at the end, which appear to be extremely cunning and cunning.
"Careful, the real battle begins."
Yun Che warned, but still had no intention of taking action, because at this time Ruan Caocao was still doing it well and didn't seem to be struggling at all.
"Yeah." Ruan Caocao hummed slightly, his eyes became slightly serious, and his feet suddenly spun and opened a complex formation, obviously preparing to use his ultimate move.
In the formation pattern, countless water droplets emerged out of thin air, condensing into a blue water curtain in front of her. The light and shadow flowed on the water curtain, and thousands of Water Element Runes were vaguely visible floating in it.
As she pointed her staff forward, the water curtain suddenly turned into a huge Water Phoenix that covered the sky and the sun. With its wings spread, it swooped towards the group of Soul-Devouring Beasts with a huge amount of water vapor and a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
Wherever Water Phoenix passed, the air seemed to be frozen. As soon as those Divine Realm Soul-Devouring Beast came into contact with Water Phoenix's wings, they let out a shrill scream, and their bodies were instantly frozen into ice sculptures and then shattered.
Even Soul-Devouring Beast from the Spirit God Realm appeared to be reeling under the impact of Water Phoenix, and the shadows on its body were constantly being eroded by water vapor, making a sizzling melting sound.
Position God Realm Soul-Devouring Beast at the rear saw that the situation was not good and let out a sharp scream. The shadows around him surged, as if he wanted to devour Water Phoenix.
"Huh, don't even think about it!"
Ruan Caocao's eyes flashed, and his left hand Hand Seal changed again. Water Phoenix let out a clear cry, and its body size expanded several times again. Sharp Ice Crystals condensed on its beak and claws, violently tearing the shadow package, and pecked hard at the core of the Position God Realm Soul-Devouring Beast.
The Soul-Devouring Beast let out a desperate cry, and its body shriveled up quickly like a deflated rubber ball, and finally turned into a wisp of Black Smoke and dissipated in the air. After dealing with this group of Soul-Devouring Beast, Ruan Caocao took a few breaths, and fine beads of sweat oozed from the forehead, but there was excitement in his eyes.
She turned to look at Yun Che, with a shy smile on her face, "Teacher Yun, I... I can kill Position God!"
Yun Che smiled and gave her a thumbs up, secretly thinking that this little girl's growth rate is really amazing, given time, she will definitely become a strong person in her own right.
The two took a short rest and continued walking towards the entrance of the black mountain lair.
Unexpectedly, not long after entering the mountain, I met a Haggard Old Man leaning against the wall.
The old man was wearing a tattered gray robe, his hair was as dry as grass, and his face was covered with deep wrinkles that could be seen in the bones. However, when he saw them, his pair of cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, flashing with a strange light.
He slowly straightened up, exuding a disgusting smell of decay, as if he had been sitting here for thousands of years.
"You... you must be the brave Divine Cleric! Please... please save my poor grandson, he was kidnapped by Soul Devouring Lord."
Divine Cleric is the collective name for them in these mission worlds. It is said that each mission world is a real place, and they only came here because of Void Post Station's Divine Trial.
Yun Che and Ruan Caocao looked at each other. No matter how they looked at it, it looked like a trap. But the strange thing was that they actually received the task prompt.
[Task trigger: Rescue the old man's grandson imprisoned by Soul Devouring Lord]
[Task Type: Side Task]
[Task reward: unknown]
Ruan Caocao looked hesitant. She could feel the vague and cold aura on the old man's body, but the appearance of the task prompt made her unable to ignore it.
Yun Che quietly released Divine Sense to investigate, and found that there was an extremely weak ray of Soul-Devouring Miasma hidden in the old man's body. It had obviously been contaminated, but for some reason he still retained part of his consciousness.
He glanced at Ruan Caocao, signaling her not to act rashly for the time being, and then asked, "Old man, with all due respect, your grandson is probably in serious danger."
When the old man heard this, two lines of black tears fell from his cloudy eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice, "No... no, Soul Devouring Lord said that my grandson is Heavenly Soul Constitution, and it must be swallowed during the full moon to have a miraculous effect. There are still seven days until the full moon, so my grandson must still be alive."
Heavenly Soul Constitution? Yun Che's heart moved slightly. This Constitution is extremely rare. It is said to contain pure Innate Soul Power, which is indeed a great tonic for Soul Devouring creatures.
He looked at the old man. His emotions didn't seem to be fake, but the underlying miasma made him unable to fully trust him.
"The internal structure of Soul Devouring Lord's lair is complicated. Do you know the specific location where your grandson is imprisoned?" Yun Che asked, trying to get more information from the old man.
When the old man heard the words, his body trembled violently, and his skinny fingers pointed to a passage deep in the lair that exuded rich black air. "It's... right in that 'Myriad Souls Cavern', which is the core area of Soul-Devouring Beast, and is guarded by Soul Devouring Lord himself."
Ruan Caocao gripped the staff tightly, with a worried look on his face. Myriad Souls Cavern sounded extremely dangerous, not to mention that there was also Soul Devouring Lord whose strength was unknown.
Yun Che glanced at the old man again. After failing to see any other problems, he took Ruan Caocao towards the depths of the mountain.
He was certain that there was definitely something wrong with the old man, but the mission didn't seem to be fake, which was very strange.
However, Yun Che is not in a hurry to reveal it. After all, the rewards of side tasks are unknown, and there may be unexpected gains hidden in them.
He decided to go to Myriad Souls Cavern to find out what the old man said first, and at the same time secretly pay attention to the surrounding movements to prevent falling into the opponent's trap.
Although Ruan Caocao still had doubts in his heart, seeing that Yun Che had made a decision, he followed closely behind, holding the staff tightly in his hand, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
The deeper you go into the lair, the thicker the surrounding miasma becomes. The sweet smell in the air almost turns into substance, and the ground under your feet becomes slippery and sticky. From time to time, you can hear low roars coming from the darkness, making your scalp numb.
"Eh! That's disgusting. Are those Snail Slugs?"
