Fighting with fire shadow

Faced with the life threat posed by the pole-eating beast, people either left the earth in spaceships in advance and immigrated to other planets.

Or they became food for the pole-devouring beasts, and their souls and life energy were extracted by them, turning them into sculptures like stone statues, also known as 'flesh and soil'.

"(?w?)"

After Ximen Cheng carefully recalled the plot of "Spirit Cage", his eyes suddenly lit up and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.

Because Ximen Cheng discovered that a post-apocalyptic wasteland world like "Spirit Cage", although the world level is not too high, is very suitable for use as a base camp or logistics base.

The technology of this world itself is still very high. We only need to build a robot factory first and produce a batch of robots to solve the problem of labor shortage.

With Ximen Cheng's strength, he can easily open up a safe base. As long as the surviving humans are gathered together, human civilization can be re-established.

Although the human race was almost wiped out due to the proliferation of pole-devouring beasts, the various mineral resources in this world have not disappeared. Humans, who were once at the top of the food chain, have only been replaced by pole-devouring beasts.

In other words, as long as Ximen Cheng leads the surviving humans and re-establishes human civilization, the entire world will become his back garden.

"Bang bang bang..."

While Ximen Cheng was meditating secretly, a dull sound of footsteps suddenly came from a distance.

"That is……"

Ximen Cheng looked through the broken window and saw dozens of behemoths sweeping through the smoke and dust on the street not far away, rushing towards him.

These huge objects are more than a foot long, with six human-like arms and a long tail. They look a bit like a combination of humans and lizards.

"Roar!!!"

The monster that was the first to rush towards Ximen Cheng suddenly stretched its neck, opened its maw of intertwined canine teeth, and bit his arm.

"Wind Rope!"

Smelling the smelly wind blowing towards his face, Ximen Cheng frowned slightly and raised his right hand to wave lightly.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Hundreds of light blue wind ropes as thick as arms appeared out of thin air, instantly tying up the monsters rushing from all directions and suspending them all in mid-air.

These pole-devouring beasts bound by Ximen Cheng's five-flowered body are the most common pole-devouring beasts and the most common pole-devouring beasts. The scientific name is called "Pan-general pole-devouring beast type 1", and it is also called "Pan-general pole-devouring beast type [-]" by the survivors. Snake dog'.

Compared with other pole-devouring beasts, the snake dog does not have any special abilities. Its size, speed, strength, and agility can only be regarded as ordinary (compared to the pole-devouring beast). The method of combat is close combat, with the tentacles on its head. Can be used to absorb the essence of life (soul and life force).

"Woooooooo..."

The snake dog suspended in mid-air by the wind rope kept struggling while staring at Ximen Cheng with bloodthirsty eyes, full of cruelty and greed.

The sensory organs of the pole-devouring beasts are different from those of humans. They locate humans by sensing their emotional fluctuations, and the more powerful the souls of humans, the more delicious they are in front of them.

Ximen Cheng's soul power has reached the peak of the sixth level, far exceeding that of ordinary humans.

If the souls of ordinary humans are just a big meal for these pole-devouring beasts, then Ximen Cheng's soul is a granary, which is why these pole-devouring beasts rush towards him like crazy.

"Puff puff……"

Ximen Cheng flicked his fingers, and several sharp gusts of wind shot out, directly penetrating the thick hide and skull of the Devouring Beast, leaving several bloody holes in its head.

The pupils of the extremely attacked beast suddenly became blurred and it stopped struggling, as if it was dead.

"Zizzizi..."

Under Ximen Cheng's somewhat amused gaze, the pole-devouring beast that was supposed to be dead suddenly felt a strong fluctuation of soul and vitality in its body. The wound on its head shone faintly, and then recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Woooooooo..."

The resurrected pole-devouring beast started to struggle vigorously again, but unfortunately it could not break free from the restraints of the wind rope.

[Wind Rope] Although it is only the simplest wind spell, with Ximen Cheng's current cultivation level, it is difficult for even fifth-level monsters to break free from the wind rope, let alone these snakes and dogs that are only equivalent to second-order monsters. .

"Pfft!"

I saw Ximen Cheng flick his finger, and several transparent spider threads burst out, instantly tearing open the snake dog's belly, and pulled out a fist-sized ball from its body that exuded a strong soul aura.

"Woooooooo..."

The moment the soul ball was pulled out of the body, the snake and dog in front of him struggled more and more fiercely, and there was a rare look of fear in the huge beast eyes.

"This thing should be the core of the Extreme Devouring Beast, right? Unfortunately, the soul aura is too mottled, and I'm afraid not much soul energy can be extracted."

Ximen Cheng stared at the ball in his hand for a while, then squeezed it hard and exploded it.

"Chichichi..."

The moment the ball was crushed by Ximen Cheng, the body of the snake dog in front of Ximen Cheng suddenly stiffened, and then seemed to melt, turning into a pool of black liquid, leaving only a beast-shaped skeleton.

The ball crushed by Ximen Cheng was indeed the core of the Devouring Beast, also known as the Spiritual Breath Seed.

The pole-devouring beast is not a normal creature, but a brand-new creature re-created by Mana Ecology using human souls.

Therefore, the critical point of the Devouring Beast is also different from that of normal creatures. Whether it is shot on the head or divided into corpses, as long as the spiritual breath seeds in its body are not destroyed, it can quickly recover as before, just like it has been resurrected from the dead.

"Since there are souls in your body, it means that you can also be tamed, right?" Ximen Cheng turned to look at the remaining snakes and dogs, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a malicious smile.

In terms of pure physical strength, these snake dogs are comparable to second-order monsters, and are even considered to be relatively outstanding existences among second-order monsters. However, the soul energy stored in the spiritual breath seeds is too weak, which is equivalent to one The level of the monster.

For humans in this world, it is indeed very difficult to deal with the Devouring Beast.

However, for a master like Ximen Cheng who plays with souls, an existence like a beast with a powerful body but a very fragile soul is the best enslavement target.

Ximen Cheng walked up to the snakes and dogs unhurriedly, and stretched out his sinful hands towards the struggling snakes and dogs. A ball of blue soul energy surged out from his palm, covering the snakes and dogs. on the body.

These snake dogs with weak souls could not resist the invasion of Ximen Cheng's soul. He soon had their memories tampered with and turned into loyal licking dogs willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
