Chapter 1032 Soul Devouring Beast
Seeing Duan Qing's curious look, Duanmu Min couldn't help but feel very interesting, as if she had forgotten that she had just escaped from a desperate situation.
She cleared her throat and said seriously: "Did Daoyou Duan ever hear of the Soul Devouring Beast?"
Soul Devouring Beast?
Duan Qing was stunned, and then realized what was going on.
It turned out to be that kind of ghost thing!
Soul Devouring Beast is a very special existence in the Broken Star Palace. It is distributed in both the inner and outer domains, but it is generally more common in the inner domain and less common in the outer domain.
The reason why the Soul Devouring Beast is special is that although the Soul Devouring Beast is called a beast, it is not a demon beast or a puppet, but something in between, a kind of existence that is like a living creature but not a living creature.
In essence, the Soul Devouring Beast does not have life, but is just a monster that acts on instinct.
The instinct of the Soul Devouring Beast is to devour spiritual energy, and its name Soul Devouring Beast is derived from this.
It will be attracted by any existence with spiritual energy or spiritual power, and will bite it tightly, either devouring the target's spiritual energy or exhausting its own spiritual power.
The soul-devouring beasts that have exhausted their spiritual power will slowly absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to accumulate strength until they can move again.
The strength of the soul-devouring beasts is not low, and they are basically at the level of the spiritual life realm. Some of them that have absorbed more spiritual energy will reach the spiritual phase realm or even the spiritual transformation realm.
The more special thing about the soul-devouring beasts is that they will not leave things like inner elixir after death. Their bodies and even the spiritual energy they have absorbed will dissipate in a very short time.
The only thing left is a thing called soul-devouring crystal.
The soul-devouring crystal does not contain spiritual energy, and cannot be used for refining tools and alchemy, nor can it be taken out of the Broken Star Palace. It has only one use, that is, to summon treasures.
After the soul-devouring crystal is broken, a light column will descend on the original place with the treasure, just like the scene when other treasures in the Broken Star Palace are born.
However, the treasures summoned by the soul-devouring crystal are completely random, ranging from white light column-level treasures to colored light column-level treasures. Among them, white light column-level treasures account for the vast majority.
Legend has it that there was no Soul Devourer in the Broken Star Palace for a period of time when it was first opened.
It was not until many years later that the Soul Devourer suddenly appeared in the Broken Star Palace, and no one knew how it appeared.
At the beginning, people who entered the Broken Star Palace began to hunt Soul Devourers everywhere after discovering that Soul Devourer Crystals could summon treasures.
However, it was disappointing that the light columns summoned by Soul Devourer Crystals were basically very ordinary goods, and many were even worse than treasures from the outside world.
Compared with the price paid for hunting Soul Devourers, the treasures obtained can be described as shabby.
Although in history, some people have used Soul Devourer Crystals to summon peerless treasures, but the number of times is too small, which is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, after the initial enthusiasm, Soul Devourers were quickly ignored by people.
The gains that did not match the efforts, coupled with the fact that Soul Devourers' strength was not low, and they chased people like mad dogs, so many people regarded Soul Devourers as chicken ribs and almost ran away when they met them.
Sometimes, he really couldn't escape. Even if he had to sacrifice some spirit stones or treasures rich in spiritual energy to lure the soul-devouring beast away, he didn't want to go to the trouble of killing the soul-devouring beast.
It can be said that in the Broken Star Palace, the soul-devouring beast is definitely the most useless and the most hated existence!
Before entering the Broken Star Palace, the eldest brother and Xue Wanyun had told him that if he found a soul-devouring beast, it would be best to walk around it and never provoke it.
He didn't take it too seriously, because the soul-devouring beast is basically in the inner domain and rarely appears in the outer domain.
And he and Xue Wanyun agreed not to enter the inner domain this time, so since entering the Broken Star Palace, he subconsciously ignored the existence of the soul-devouring beast.
But he didn't expect that he could still encounter the soul-devouring beast in the outer domain!
Thinking of this, Duan Qing was relieved.
With the mad dog-like temperament and outstanding strength of the soul-devouring beast, it is reasonable to chase and kill the yellow sandworms outside.
Seeing the relieved look on Duan Qing's face, Duanmu Min knew that Duan Qing had figured out the reason.
She didn't explain much, just sighed and said: "Hey, I don't know how I met those unlucky stars in the outer domain!"
Duan Qing nodded in agreement: "Yes, Soul Devouring Beasts are rare in the outer domain."
At this point, Duan Qing was suddenly stunned and lowered his eyebrows in thought.
Soul Devouring Beasts may be a chicken rib existence for others, but for him, maybe... it is really useful.
He is not greedy for the Soul Devouring Crystal in the Soul Devouring Beast, but for Xiao Hong.
After the Soul Devouring Beast dies, the spiritual energy accumulated in the body will dissipate quickly. Ordinary cultivators cannot absorb and retain so much spiritual energy in a short time, so they can only let those spiritual energy go to waste.
But if Xiao Hong absorbs the spiritual energy that should have dissipated, perhaps a considerable part of the spiritual energy can be retained.
Even his mysterious metal can absorb those spiritual energy and make spiritual liquid.
The Soul Devouring Beast is not weak, and it has been absorbing spiritual energy everywhere for a long time. The strength and concentration of spiritual energy in its body must be extraordinary. This is undoubtedly a great temptation for him.
Thinking of this, Duan Qing's eyes lit up, raised his head and looked at Duanmu Min, and asked: "May I ask Daoist Duanmu, do you know how many Soul Devouring Beasts are chasing the yellow sandworm?"
Duanmu Min didn't expect Duan Qing to ask this, but still subconsciously said: "I don't know, I just sensed from a distance that the Soul Devouring Beast was chasing the yellow sandworm, so I ran away desperately and didn't dare to look closely!"
"However, judging from the fluctuations of spiritual power sensed, there must be more than one!"
At this point, Duanmu Min suddenly reacted, and stared at Duan Qing with a pair of exquisite eyes in surprise: "Fellow Daoist Duan, you are not... planning to attack the soul-devouring beast, are you!"
Duan Qing did not deny it, and nodded frankly: "Yes, Duan is somewhat interested in the soul-devouring beast."
Duanmu Min was a little anxious.
"Fellow Daoist Duan, don't be impulsive, those unlucky stars are not something you and I can contend with with our cultivation!"
How could she not be anxious!
So many yellow sandworms in the Spiritual Life Realm were chased by those soul-devouring beasts, indicating that there must be soul-phase level beings among the soul-devouring beasts chasing them.
Duan Qing, a late soul-sea realm, actually dared to attack those soul-devouring beasts.
This is simply...crazy!
