Thousand Illusions Clone Sausage

Under Yan Zu's covert guidance, the group searched along the way, encountering several thousand-year-old Soul Beast, but Yan Zu rejected them all. "That Ironclad Rhinoceros is more suited for defense and power attacks, so it's not suitable."

"That Ghost Vine is too aggressive; the Soul Ring might come with poison or corrosive effects, so it's not suitable."

After walking for about two hours, we passed through a dense ancient forest, and suddenly a small clearing appeared before us.

In the center of the open space, a peculiar group of fungi grew—each one shimmering with a pale Glazed Tile halo, its caps shaped like umbrellas, covered with intricate, illusory patterns. A gentle breeze would cause blurry, ethereal images to appear around the fungi.

In the center of this group of fungi, a Thousand Illusions Glazed Fungus, which is much larger than its kind and stands 1.5 meters tall, stands out. Its cap is a deep indigo blue.

"That's it! The Thousand Illusions Glazed Fungus!" Yan Zu's eyes flashed with golden light as he affirmed, "Judging from the concentration of its illusion patterns and the number of its clones, its age is exactly sixteen hundred years. Its Soul Ring will most likely grant it the ability to create clones, and Plant-type Soul Beast have gentle Soul Power, making them highly Martial Soul Compatibility with Food System spirit beasts."

Oscar gazed at the fungus that could freely conjure phantoms and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. His intuition told him that this was absolutely the most suitable Soul Beast for him! "That's it! Yan Zu, I'll listen to you!"

Although the acquisition process had its ups and downs, it wasn't particularly difficult.

Sensing danger, the Thousand Illusions Glazed Fungus instantly disguised itself as a giant rock and released four clones with the same aura as its main body, which scattered and fled in all directions, attempting to confuse the situation.

However, Yan Zu's Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eyes could easily penetrate the disguise and accurately pinpoint the true location. He shouted, "The true body is the boulder on the left! Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, restrain the clones! Tang San, use your Blue Silver Grass to seal off the space around the true body!"

Everyone immediately took action. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing quickly killed three clones, Ma Hongjun unleashed Phoenix Fire Line to force back the last clone.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass surged forth like a tide, firmly Entanglement the Thousand Illusions Glazed Fungus disguised as a giant rock; Zhao Wuji's Soul Saint aura erupted, suppressing the restless Soul Power within the fungus;

Ning Rongrong simultaneously amplified everyone's speed and strength to ensure a decisive victory. With everyone's cooperation, the Thousand Illusions Glazed Fungus's disguise was forcibly broken. After its true form was exposed, its Soul Power rapidly weakened, and its main consciousness was quickly defeated. Oscar stepped forward and killed it.

Oscar sat cross-legged and began absorbing the purple Soul Ring that emitted a faint halo. The Soul Power of the Thousand Illusions Glazed Fungus was gentle in nature and had a very high Martial Soul Compatibility with Oscar's Food System martial soul, making the absorption process exceptionally smooth.

An hour later, Oscar successfully absorbed the new soul skill. His eyes shone brightly as he opened them, and his Soul Power stabilized at level thirty-one. He jumped up excitedly, eager to demonstrate his new Soul Skill.

"Ahem," Oscar cleared his throat, a signature, slightly lewd smile spreading across his face, "I have a... Thousand Illusions Clone Sausage!"

As he chanted the incantation, a sausage shimmering with iridescent patterns and emitting a faint, refreshing Sausage of herbs appeared in his hand. The iridescent patterns on the Sausage's surface were still slowly flowing, with faint, ethereal shadows flickering within them, and its texture was completely different from the Big Sausage and Little Sausage he had encountered before.

"Thousand Illusions Clone Sausage? What's its effect?" Ma Hongjun curiously leaned closer and sniffed. "This aura is quite strange, its strength fluctuates."

Oscar proudly declared, "Third Soul Skill, Thousand Illusions Clone Sausage! Effect: After consumption, it can split into 3 clones that are completely identical to the original body in aura and appearance. The clones possess 30% of the original body's Soul Power, can move autonomously, and evade attacks. The duration is 1 minute! If the clones are fatally attacked, they will dissipate directly without causing damage to the original body. As my Soul Power Level increases, the number of clones and the duration will also increase!"

"Three clones?!" Everyone was taken aback. The tactical value of this Soul Skill was simply off the charts! Not only could it block damage for the main body and distract the enemy, but it could also assist the team in delivering supplies. Whether in one-on-one battles or team battles, it could play a huge role, and its growth potential far exceeded that of the Flying Sausage.

Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes lit up. "Oscar, your Third Soul Skill is amazing! With the clone, you no longer have to hide at the back of the team for fear of being ambushed, and you can provide flexible support for us!"

Zhao Wuji laughed heartily, "Excellent! What a Thousand Illusions Clone Sausage Intestine! Yan Zu, you have a sharp eye! This Soul Skill is more than ten times stronger than that one-minute flight skill! With each person having three more clones in a team battle, our endurance and margin for error are doubled. Oscar, you've really taken off!"

Dai Mubai patted Oscar on the shoulder. "Great job, Uncle Big Sausage! In the future, when you fight, just release more clones. I guarantee the enemy won't be able to tell which one is the real one!" He clearly highly approved of this tactical Soul Skill.

Ma Hongjun put his arm around Oscar's shoulder and winked, saying, "Old Oscar, you can bring a couple more 'stand-ins' when you're picking up girls now, just play it safe!"

Oscar chuckled, shoved Ma Hongjun aside, and walked up to Yan Zu, bowing respectfully. "Yan Zu, thank you! If it weren't for you, I would have missed out on this perfect Soul Ring for me! This Clone Sausage is practically tailor-made for me! If you ever need my Oscar in the future, just let me know!"

Yan Zu helped him up and smiled, "We're all partners, it's only right. This Thousand Illusions Clone Sausage Intestine has enormous potential. Polish it well, and it can become your core asset in the future."

Amidst the general joy, only Tang San, though smiling and congratulating Oscar, harbored a dark glint in his eyes. Oscar had acquired such a flexible tactical Soul Skill, which would undoubtedly elevate his status within the team, and all of this was inseparable from Yan Zu's "guidance."

He subconsciously touched the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges amulet at his waist, where he kept the Hidden Weapon he had crafted. He needed to improve his strength much faster!

Next, it was time to find Soul Beast for Tang San. The group continued searching in the mixed area. Tang San hoped to obtain a powerful control or attack Soul Skill, and his target was spider-like or snake-like Soul Beast.

After searching for most of the day, they found no suitable Soul Beast, but once again they heard the familiar sounds of fighting and angry shouts.

"You beast! Where do you think you're going to run now!"

"Old woman, block its left side!"

The direction from which the sound came was marked by intense fluctuations in Soul Power, and the faint sound of trees snapping could be heard.

Zhao Wuji signaled everyone to hide, and quietly approached. Parting the dense foliage, they saw a scene of devastation in the woods ahead, where Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang were jointly attacking a Soul Beast. And that Soul Beast was none other than— Man Faced Demon Spider!

This Man Faced Demon Spider was ferocious and terrifying. Its eight spear-like legs shimmered with purple light, and white patterns on its carapace formed a distorted human face. It constantly spewed purple-black venomous webs and mist from its mouth, and moved swiftly and fiercely. What was speechless was that there were still some burn marks and marks from being stabbed by Serpent Cane on its body, indicating that it had been injured before.

"It's them again?" Ma Hongjun muttered. "This time it's spiders? What about the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent? Could it be...?"

Yan Zu's lips twitched almost imperceptibly as he inwardly grumbled, "These Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, one Soul Douluo and the other a Soul Emperor, why do they keep failing at capturing thousand-year-old Soul Beast? In the original story, the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent escaped, and now they're having such a hard time capturing the Man Faced Demon Spider? Their professional skills are a bit worrying..."

He noticed that although the Man Faced Demon Spider was suppressed by the two powerful figures, it charged around ferociously, causing the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny to become somewhat flustered. They were mainly concerned about its potent poison and sudden outburst, and their efforts to capture it alive for Meng Yiran to absorb were inevitably hampered.

Meng Yiran stood a little distance away, watching with a look of anxiety and frustration.

Just then, the Man Faced Demon Spider seemed to be driven to desperation. With a hiss, it suddenly spewed a large cloud of poisonous mist at the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, taking the opportunity to break through towards the direction where the Shrek Devils were hiding!
