Chapter 70: Collecting the Soul

The bugs had all entered the cave wall under Ruoxue’s arrangement, and were strangely quiet, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep again.

At this moment, my emotions and those of Brother Chengxin had also calmed down. Looking at the bugs, I always had a strange feeling that these bugs were like the calm before a storm.

I glanced at Ru Xue, hoping to get some answers, but she looked calm, her eyes only calmly falling in front of her, not even looking at me, and I couldn’t see anything.

What the hell is going on? The initial closeness, the subsequent recovery, and now the slight coldness, it’s actually just an indescribable feeling. I can’t ask Ru Xue, ‘Why are you cold to me again?’ It’s very uncomfortable to keep it in, and it’s even less worth telling outsiders.

I calmed my thoughts. After all, Ru Xue had already explained it, or maybe I was just too sensitive. In this situation, it was useless to think about it, so I began to collect the demon soul.

Ruoxue had told me before that the demon spirit of this giant snake was hidden in one of its deformed fangs, so when I used my psychic power to search the corpse of the snake for its soul, I easily found the fang.

It was unimaginable that this great demon had a small fang hidden in its upper jaw, about the same length as the tiger claw it wore, which was really small compared to its huge body. I wondered if it was very sleepy and had low self-esteem because of the extra fang.

I admit that I was thinking too much!

The fang was much easier to get into than the transverse bone of the tender fox. After just a few impacts, I entered the unique space, which was also in a silent and dark space. I immediately saw a small snake curled up and sleeping.

It was really just a little snake, and compared to the huge body outside, it was a world of difference. How small was it? I felt that if I were to wear a bracelet, this little snake, with its head biting its tail, would fit perfectly.

The image of a viper is not very good, but this little snake is okay. It doesn’t look ferocious or terrifying. I don’t know if it’s because of my personal taste, but the soul image it expresses is a kind of pink-blue. Could it be that under its ferocious appearance, there is a heart that pursues innocence?

I don’t bother to guess what kind of childlike heart this snake has. I use the old method, mentally stroking the snake’s body and calling out, “Wake up, wake up!”

To my surprise, the snake’s remnant soul still retained the snake’s unique “essence.” The spiritual energy that passed through it felt cold, but not gloomy!

Compared to the little fox, this snake’s reaction was even more ‘alert’. After I called it once, it suddenly woke up, stood up all of a sudden, and looked at me with extreme vigilance.

The head is still that of a viper, and the face is still that of a viper. This should have scared me, but I couldn’t help but laugh when I entered its spirit. Is there something wrong with this viper? Snake eyes should be cold and narrow, but it has defined its soul image as “watery” round eyes. What is this?

It’s just a pity, a pity! No matter how you do it, can you be as cute as a young fox? Even when the little tiger was young, it was ten times cuter than this snake.

I guess my laughter touched the snake’s sensitive nerves, and it suddenly showed a human-like expression of regret and embarrassment. In just a moment, its appearance changed, and it became a truly ferocious viper.

It was probably for the sake of so-called “power,” and its body began to swell and grow larger. After all, this is the “spiritual space” of the “world of existence,” which is not limited by the physical space. As long as its soul power is strong enough to support it, it can grow into a train without fear of bursting the space.

I squinted my eyes and sensitively noticed that this remnant soul was more complete than the tender fox and silly tiger. At the same time, I sighed in my heart, looking at how cute the snake and tender fox were, and how silly the tiger was when it followed me.

But at the same time, I also shouted, “Enough, don’t change. If you want to follow me, then go. If you don’t want to follow me, then keep sleeping here. Even if you become an aircraft carrier, you won’t scare me!”

I was telling the truth. There are so many ways to deal with a stray soul.

The snake heard me roar, and its eyes blinked twice, probably because it didn’t understand what an aircraft carrier meant. Then it froze for a moment, not knowing what to think.

At this time, the silly tiger, who had once again eaten and drunk and was sleeping, suddenly roared twice. The snake immediately “jerked” and then the huge body played the same trick as the young fox, popping the balloon and suddenly turning into a small snake, approaching the pink-blue color, and the round eyes again.

What kind of “evil taste” is this? I helplessly looked at the snake, and I realized that it was better not to interfere with “other people’s” hobbies.

Like a young fox, the snake ‘swish’ crawled to my feet, then circled around my feet twice, then it lazily climbed up my arm, slipped to my wrist, and really like a bracelet, coiled around my wrist.

I was dumbfounded. What was this? A dream come true?

With the cute snake out of the body of the huge viper, Cheng Xin immediately asked me excitedly, “Did it go well?”

I helplessly raised my wrist, and the snake cooperated by letting Chengxin see its image. Chengxin looked at me with a look of insanity and said seriously, “Chengyi, even if you and Ruxue can’t have a result, you can’t go further and further in the other direction, right? What is this? Black crystal powder blue bracelet?”

I looked at him helplessly and yelled, “Can you stop talking nonsense? Can’t you see that this is a spirit body?”

“Spirit body, you say it is…” Brother Chengxin looked at the corpse of the snake, which was already shriveled but still scary, and then looked at the “black crystal pink bracelet” on my wrist, his expression saying that I was crazy.

After hiding the fangs, the matter in this demon cave was already settled. We didn’t want to delay any longer, so we quickly left the demon cave.

Cheng Xin Ge and I were discussing heatedly who should get the soul of this great demon. I didn’t bother to think about it and said directly, “This thing is like choosing jade. It has to be to your liking. Let them choose for themselves. I have Silu, and there are four great demon souls. It’s just right that you get one each.”

“Anyway, the young fox is mine.” Cheng Xin brother adjusted his glasses and his eyes flashed again.

I got goose bumps again, and then said, “I know, whoever grabs you will poison you to death!”

Over there, the topic of discussion between the old Wu and Zhang was even more ridiculous.

“This is absolutely impossible. I, Zhang, have been active in the forest for so many years, and I have never seen a snake eat and spit out bones. I guess it must be some other thing that came to the snake’s house for a visit. The snake invited the person to dinner and left the leftovers.

“Are you kidding? Invite someone to dinner, dare you not go to dinner? You say that people have developed for so many years, from wearing leaves in the past to becoming like this now, the snake has become a demon, and it is not allowed for others to have a nice meal? Eat meat and spit out the bones? They are demons, they have intelligence, don’t you know?

Chengxin and I looked at each other, and the scene of a young fox visiting a big snake’s house came to mind. The big snake gobbled up the meat, one bite after another! The young fox ate a bite of meat gracefully and wiped her mouth!

Or… is the big snake surrounded by a napkin, with an elegant smile, sipping a sip of water and eating a bite of meat?

No matter how I think about it, it’s all weird. We walked out of the mountain pass like this, and then, according to my idea, we should have gone straight to the next demon’s tomb to grab the demon soul, but I didn’t expect that someone was already waiting for us here. Looking at the person who came, I could hardly believe my eyes.

Yes, waiting for me were He Long and an unfamiliar old man, who looked at me with a gloomy expression. But I never imagined that in this snowy forest, they would be accompanied by Ruoyue and Qin Huai!

When Ru Yue looked at Ru Xue, he started to cry, looking very sad.

As for Qin Huai, I looked at him, and he shrugged his shoulders at me and said, “There’s no way, I got caught, buddy!”
