The first level test Shen Hao accepted in the Sword Emperor Tomb was to learn soul power. At that time, he was learning "Soul Power Volume 1". After learning it, his soul power matched his soul strength, which had always reached the ceiling of his realm. The effect is excellent when used together, and it has always been one of his commonly used killing moves.
But later, when Shen Hao wanted to find more space, he couldn't find it. Even in Fenghong Villa, there is only one article that he has read but no follow-up. After asking the master, it is said that soul power is an unpopular method for fragments. Generally, monks have little use for it. It is normal for it to be lost and the inheritance is cut off.
Thinking about it, it is true that the strength of a monk's soul generally follows the realm of cultivation. It is useless to learn the soul power, so naturally not many people will pay attention to it.
This basically ends Shen Hao's thoughts on searching for soul power from the outside world. We can only place our hope in the Sword Emperor Tomb, hoping that we can see new chapters about soul power in the unknown area behind the Sword Emperor Tomb.
But he never expected that the thing he had been asking for would appear in the underground palace of Wushou City.
And judging from the name, what you get this time is not divided into volumes, but a whole volume. Seeing this made Shen Hao's heart itch, and he wished he could immediately reflect the contents in his sea of consciousness. But in the end he endured it, put the jade slip back into his storage bag and continued walking forward. The environment here is definitely not a place where you can be distracted. We can wait until we get out to talk about everything.
Continue to follow the guidance of the Black Beast Tattoo. While recording the path traveled, I carefully communicate with the Black Beast Tattoo in my mind. The main purpose is to understand why it is clearly not soul energy, but the Black Beast Tattoo can swallow it. , even smoother than swallowing soul energy.
Unfortunately, Black Beast Tattoo cannot answer Shen Hao's inquiries without clear details by relying solely on emotional expression.
However, the road ahead was much more stable than before. Shen Hao had a lot more confidence and no longer worried about stepping into an unknown area and being buried.
From the moment the stone wall appeared, more and more paths for exploration began to unfold in front of Shen Hao.
Among dangers, stone walls account for the majority. But not every stone wall bursts out with human-shaped monsters, there are also beast-shaped monsters, and the number is even more different, there are three, five or a dozen. The one thing they have in common is that regardless of human form or animal form, every stone monster is extremely powerful. Judging from the momentum and mana fluctuations alone, they are definitely the strongest in the Xuanhai realm.
But no matter how many stone monsters there are, whether they are humanoid or animal-shaped, the swallowing ability of the black beast tattoo is not affected. Every time, it is swallowed in one gulp without haste, giving Shen Hao a "satisfaction" in an instant. End of response.
Different from the humanoid ones, Shen Hao was actually more concerned about those animal-shaped stone monsters.
The animal-shaped stone monsters are as small as one and a half people tall, and the larger ones are as tall as four or five feet. They are not all the same in appearance. If we have to say that they have one thing in common, they are all multi-eyed monsters, with the least being four. There are only one eye, and as many as eight or nine eyes.
Shen Hao would naturally think that these stone monsters were evil beasts? After all, the black beast tattoo said that this place is related to evil beasts. And whether it is the beast head on the Yin Jade puzzle or the black beast tattoo on his chest, although they are different from these stone monsters, they can be seen at a glance to be of the same type. This is like a tiger and an orange cat. You can say that they look different, but it does not prevent you from being able to tell that they all belong to the same type of creature.
Of course, these are not just Shen Hao's speculations. He came to the conclusion after obtaining the affirmative answer from Black Beast Tattoo.
I’m curious, if these animal-shaped stone monsters are the evil beasts of the past, how did those human-shaped stone monsters come from?
In addition, Shen Hao also discovered an interesting thing about the beast-shaped stone monster: the more eyes the beast-shaped stone monster has, the smaller it will be, and vice versa. The larger the beast-shaped stone monster is, the stronger its momentum and strength will be, and vice versa.
In this way, can we get an intuitive standard for distinguishing animal-shaped stone monsters or evil beasts, that is, the evil beasts with more eyes are weaker, and the evil beasts with fewer eyes are more powerful?
It is a pity that the animal-shaped stone monsters with the fewest eyes that Shen Hao has seen so far have only four eyes, and he has never seen any with fewer eyes.
"So, you only have two eyes, are you very strong?" Shen Hao mentally searched for the black beast tattoo, but did not get a response. I don’t know if it’s by default or for other reasons, so I won’t talk about it.
However, Shen Hao has secretly arranged a sequence of strength in his mind, based on the rules of the eyes of the newly discovered evil beasts.
For example, if the Black Beast tattoo has two eyes, does Qingchi, who is stronger than it, have one eye? And is the eyeless beast head on the Yin Jade puzzle stronger than Qing Chi?
If they were sorted according to the number of eyes, the eyeless beast head should be the strongest, right? Thinking about it on the other hand, could the eyeless beast head be the one whose soul was stolen by Lang San? But after thinking about it twice, Shen Hao rejected it because the time didn't match. Moreover, the black beast tattoo clearly stated that Lang San was not dead, but he did not know where he was, so there should be no trace of Lang San in the underground palace.
In addition to the stone monsters mentioned above, there are other dangers in the maze, such as some kind of existence similar to a space trap. If you step on it, you will be in a kind of tearing turbulence like a meat grinder. Shen Hao himself was in a certain death situation, but with the black beast tattoo, he seemed to be able to do it with ease.
A wisp of black light covered Shen Hao's body that was not covered with scale-like lines, isolating this kind of spatial tearing. The body parts covered with black scale-like lines were not afraid of the tearing of space at all and could stay firmly in the space trap. Wander around and follow the guidance of the black beast tattoo to quickly find the exit and escape.
Of course, stone walls and space traps should not be all dangerous aspects of the underground palace. There must be other dangers that Shen Hao has not encountered. Shen Hao can find clues about this through the recorded route, because the route is not straight in one direction, but obviously has twists and turns. This may be to avoid those black beast tattoos that cannot ensure Shen Hao's safety is in danger.
But even so, as time passed, Shen Hao's brows wrinkled again. Because the poisonous smoke bomb in his hand is about to bottom out.
There are three remaining, which means that after three more insect waves, Shen Hao can only resist, but he doesn't know if he can withstand it.
Shen Hao also thought of many methods along the way, such as digging holes in the ground to build shelters, etc., but they all didn't work. You have just dug a hole here, and it will be restored to its original state out of thin air in the blink of an eye. It is impossible to create a shelter.
The only thing that can be sure to avoid the insect tide is actually the space trap, but there is no way to know that thing in advance. The Black Beast Tattoo does not have the ability to know the space trap in advance. It seems that it can only judge whether there is danger after turning around, and whether there is danger. Avoid it, and go in if it's not dangerous to it. So this one is unreliable.
With a sad look on his face, Shen Hao turned around a new intersection and suddenly a breath of strangers came out. He looked up and saw an old man in black robe standing not far in front of him and looking at him.
