Chapter 745: Chapter 557: Yin Soul
In contrast to the bustling daytime, the base was eerily silent at night.
The silence was bone-chilling.
Because of the presence of Yin Souls, no one dared to start a battle at night. Any significant disturbance would attract the attention of the Yin Souls.
If surrounded by a large number of Yin Souls, even an Emperor Level expert would be exhausted to death.
In the dim light, Xie Yixiao and the others were having dinner, which was simple—just some easily preserved, dried roasted meat and compressed biscuits.
They gathered closely together.
Surrounding them was a massive black barrier.
And around the barrier, phantom-like Yin Souls were roaming. Some were striking the barrier, trying various attacks, but they couldn’t break through its defense.
"These Yin Souls are quite resourceful."
Xie Yixiao remarked with some amazement.
He had just seen a Yin Soul wielding a spiritual artifact long sword, demonstrating exquisite swordsmanship.
And that spiritual artifact was most likely the weapon of the Yin Soul in its previous life, now serving as its dwelling.
During the day, these Yin Souls hide in the spiritual artifacts, and only appear at night.
"These Yin Souls are transformed from deceased Alien Race Kings. Although they lack intelligence, they retain some of their combat instincts from when they were alive."
Chen Junhao’s voice echoed.
"If you have the courage, you can try to devour Yin Souls. If successful, the benefits are immense." Sha Yuda said with a smile.
"I’d rather not. I want to live a few more years." Xie Yixiao shook his head.
He wasn’t that foolish.
At night, battling a few Yin Souls is manageable, but attracting a large number would be a one-way ticket to death.
As for devouring Yin Souls, only those with exceptionally rare talents would dare attempt it.
Yin Souls’ energy is very similar to that of Demon Spirits, and they can indeed be devoured. After devouring, one can not only enhance their strength but also gain some combat experience of the Yin Souls.
The benefits are plentiful, but few dare to devour them.
Yin Souls not only possess chilling energy but also retain consciousness from their previous lives, making them a hundred times more resistant than Demon Spirits.
Some have attempted to devour Yin Souls, and there have been successful cases, but those individuals were exceptionally talented Demon Fiends. More adventurers ended up being killed by Yin Souls.
Even the successful ones dare not devour Yin Souls en masse, due to the risk of failure and the fact that Yin Soul power isn’t suitable for the human body.
"Xu Rongguang and the others are heading out!"
A voice of exclamation came, and Xie Yixiao looked up to see a figure walking towards the outside of the barrier.
It was Xu Rongguang.
Not only Xu Rongguang, but a few others also got up and walked out of the barrier.
"Yesterday, 17 people went out, and 14 returned. Xu Rongguang went out the day before and yesterday as well, and it’s said he already successfully devoured three Yin Souls."
Sha Yuda said.
Xu Rongguang dared to leave the barrier because he was exceptionally talented, having refined the Earth Chart Golden Crow, a Divine Level Demon Spirit with an Extreme Yang Attribute.
Yin Souls are immune to physical attacks and most Soul Skills, but they fear Qi and Blood and Extreme Yang Attribute substances.
Within the base, the world’s most talented individuals, second only to the Kings, are gathered. There are many with exceptional talents, but only a few dare to leave the barrier.
This is why he marveled at Xu Rongguang’s audacity.
At night, not only might one be attacked by Yin Souls, but also face sneak attacks and assassinations from Alien Races.
"He’s a bold individual."
Chen Junhao also noted.
He was robust, having refined an Earth Chart Demon Spirit, and had richer Qi and Blood. In some sense, he was also exceptionally endowed, with the potential to devour Yin Souls, but he dared not step out of the barrier.
Reflecting on that, Chen Junhao did not feel any inferiority.
Everyone has different talents, different strengths, and chooses different paths. Reaching the end is what matters.
Being conservative and cautious isn’t always a bad thing.
Apart from Xu Rongguang, seven or eight others also got up and left the barrier. No one stopped them.
At this time, a group of twenty-seven people silently watched those who had stepped out of the barrier.
These twenty-seven were of different skin tones, belonging to different countries.
They were representatives sent by various nations.
Devouring Yin Souls is indeed perilous, but the benefits are plentiful. Putting aside the enhancement in strength, the combat experience from the Yin Souls’ previous lives is worth the risk on its own.
That’s not something money can buy.
If not for the selfless sacrifices of numerous Kings sacrificing themselves in recent days, and the deterrence of several hundred Kings driving Alien Races out of the Land of Fallen Gods, survival here would have been impossible.
Putting aside devouring Yin Souls, even briefly staying in the Land of Fallen Gods would be a gamble for one’s life.
In the pitch-black night.
As a Yin Soul flew by, faint hoof beats were heard, and sixteen pitch-black Flying Dragon Steeds silently appeared, with shadowy figures dressed in black on their backs.
"Is this the Land of Fallen Gods?"
A voice of surprise and doubt was heard, the speaker being Dong Yunan.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp."
The Ginseng Baby seemed somewhat fearful; this environment made it very uneasy.
Moments ago, a blurry Ghost Shadow drifted by, terrifying the baby.
The Little Elf patted the Ginseng Baby’s big bald head, calming its emotions.
Compared to the Ginseng Baby, she was much braver.
"Is that a Yin Soul?"
Watching the drifting Ghost Shadow, Lin Feng said.
This was also his first time seeing such an entity as a Yin Soul.
It was somewhat similar to the ghosts in movies, but much more blurry.
The dangers of Yin Souls were something Lin Feng naturally understood, yet he felt little fear and was even eager to try.
After all, from a certain perspective, a Nightmare is also a Yin Soul.
