Shen Hao considers the souls of monks in the Yuan Dan Realm to be a good "food" that he doesn't need to think about, and he will definitely not let them go if he has the conditions. Even if it's just the residue left after burning the soul, it's definitely much purer than the average person's soul.
"What a pity, that's all that's left." Shen Hao thought subconsciously, really just subconsciously, while feeling the "sense of comfort" conveyed by the black beast tattoo on his chest.
It seems that after staying with Black Beast Tattoo for a long time, Shen Hao has almost no resistance to the matter of devouring souls. He can even empathize with it to a certain extent and feels comfortable with the reaction to devouring soul energy.
"...Li Xinghe's soul is indeed very pure...It's a pity that most of it was burned away, and there's not much left...Huh? This is...unlike It's what's left after burning...it's more like what's left after cutting..."
No wonder Shen Hao is sensitive, he has devoured a lot of soul energy over the years, and no matter how slow he is, he can still discern every detail.
To put it bluntly, if you eat a lot, you will know where there are thorns, where the meat is thick, and where it is thin, as soon as it enters your mouth.
It's just that the burned soul is severely damaged, and the taste is obviously different from the normal soul.
But in the end, Shen Hao frowned and felt something fishy. That is, the soul should have been completely burned, and there was an obvious sense of cutting in the last part.
...It's like it's burning, and suddenly someone is worried that it has burned out, cutting off the continuity of the entire soul, which is similar to the meaning of a strong man cutting off his wrist.
If this were put in other circumstances, it would be fine. After all, who wants to watch his soul burn out? It is natural to cut off one's arm.
But now it's very strange, even surprising.
Li Xinghe's head was held in Shen Hao's hand. This man died, and his words before his death were also heroic, burning his soul with the smell of mortality. When such a person knows that he will die, is it necessary to deliberately cut off a part of his soul before death to preserve it? Isn't it necessary?
Unless...acted?
At this point Shen Hao noticed something was wrong. Then he changed his mind and realized that if Li Xinghe wanted to split his soul without being discovered, there was only one way to hide it from him, which was to use another magic method with obvious mana fluctuations to cover up his movements when splitting his soul.
"That dog?!"
Although he didn't understand all the joints in his mind, he figured out a crucial point: the giant dog that Li Xinghe struggled to tear open Jian San's shrouding power before he died and sent him out.
In the entire last moment, Li Xinghe only had the chance to cover up his soul-searing movements when he was performing the ritual on the giant dog.
As for why we did this at the last minute. There's no need to guess. I acted a play just because I didn't want to die.
Shen Hao's figure rose up, his nose twitching again and again, and soon he found a residual breath of Li Xinghe's soul that should not have existed. This aura was much weaker than during the long-distance pursuit, and even with Shen Hao's special ability, he was almost unable to detect it.
The main reason is that most of the souls are burned, otherwise it would not be enough to tear open the gap in Jian San's covering. Therefore, the part that is cut out is very small, and the remaining soul breath is very weak.
To be honest, if Shen Hao didn't have the "hobby" of devouring souls, Li Xinghe would have done it this time.
Fortunately this time, Shen Hao followed the remaining soul aura and didn't pursue it far before he saw the giant dog that had completely lost its previous tough temperament.
I was stumbling while running. I also suffered a lot of injuries and couldn't run fast anymore. After feeling Shen Hao's pursuit, he tucked his tail and bared his teeth in a pretense, but the fear and timidity of an animal could be seen at a glance. It's exactly like the last appearance of a bereaved dog.
He walked to a foot in front of the giant dog and stood still without getting too close. He raised the knife and was about to cut it down when his hand suddenly stopped. He changed the sword and returned it to its sheath, took out a Soul Calming Talisman and stuck it on it, then found a piece of lock, and after struggling for a while, he managed to lock it on the giant dog, exerting half of its suppressive effect. This dog is already useless now. With the addition of Soul Calming Talisman and Board Lock, it is worse than an ordinary dog.
At least ordinary dogs can still bark, but now this giant dog can't move. Shen Hao found a cane on the spot and tied one of its hind legs and dragged it away. If there weren't some whining noises coming from the nose, it would be the same as dragging a dead dog.
Walking back, Shen Hao felt more relaxed. Li Xinghe's matter is settled now. All that's left is to wait for news about network closures in other places.
Halfway back, I met four commanders who came in a hurry for reinforcements. It was obvious to the naked eye that these four were injured and their breaths were much messier than before. This was due to excessive consumption after the fierce battle. Performance.
The four people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Shen Hao, but when they saw the human head hanging on Shen Hao's waist, they took a deep breath.
Thread a cane through the nose of the head, then out the mouth, and tie it with a knot on your belt. This is a common temporary way to take care of the head in the military. It is not easy to fall off and is much stronger than tying it with human hair.
The four of them recognized at a glance that the head on Shen Hao's waist belonged to Li Xinghe.
That was a serious seventh-level Yuan Dan realm monk, and he was also a weird beast-controlling sect monk. The four commanders were prevented from getting off the stage by two sand snakes in front, and they were dragged until reinforcements arrived before killing them. Not to mention more than a dozen people died, and the four commanders also took them with them. hurt.
I thought it would be a blessing if Shen Hao pursued alone and could keep himself safe. Even if he was injured, it would be lucky that no one was injured. The four of them never thought that Shen Hao could go beyond the realm to fight with others. Being undefeated is the real "genius".
But now I saw that Shen Hao only had a few holes in his sleeves, no blood on his body, and he couldn't even breathe. Just now, you said you just killed a master at the seventh level of Yuan Dan Realm?
The four conductors always felt that this thing looked unreal. After taking two steps closer, they came to their senses and bowed and raised their hands: "Master Shen is mighty! I was delayed by two sand snakes earlier, please don't blame me, Master Shen."
The four of them were half a level higher than Shen Hao in terms of establishment, but the commanding officer had no real power. In addition, the command of this operation was in the hands of Shen Hao, so the four of them did not dare to take advantage of it and directly admitted their mistake. But when it comes to punishment or non-punishment, it was not mentioned in the transfer order, which meant that the power was not delegated. Even if Shen Hao was angry, he still had to report it to the commander's yamen, and the commander Pang Ban would decide.
"Sand Snake? No wonder I feel that Li Xinghe's methods are a bit lacking. It turns out that the four of them helped share most of the burden. Shen would like to thank a few of you here. They have worked hard on this trip. I will report it to Master Pang when I get back. Give credit to the four of you."
