102: Golden bones, fusion materials!
The entire Death Canyon is definitely no smaller than Sunset Forest, and the terrain is unusually flat.
In the central area of the canyon, a pitch-black river flows quietly, like foul blood flowing from the underworld, smelling of blood.
High-year Thunderclap Hell Vines would form a Lei Chi (Thunder Pool) around them, and logically, this mist shouldn't be able to block anything.
Su Ye had miscalculated when he tried to quickly find the Thunderclap Hell Vine by flying in the mist forest.
The suppression of Spirit and soul in this mist was extremely severe; after only flying a few hundred meters above, he had to land back in the forest.
That feeling...
It was as if a thread was pulling on his soul, and only when his feet were on the ground would the power of this thread disappear.
"Cannot fly..."
"And it can suppress strength..."
"This Death Canyon is indeed a good place for training..."
Murmuring to himself, Su Ye's figure was like lightning, transforming into a line of electric light, constantly flashing and moving through the large trees.
In front of him, three emerald wind-attribute Golden Phoenix were using wind power to clear a path.
After the mist was opened, it revealed the forest terrain, and it closed too quickly, but it was still enough time for Su Ye to travel.
This way, the deficiency in spiritual power detection could be resolved.
Spiritual power coverage was less than ten meters; this distance was not short, but for powerful Soul Beasts, an attack was only a matter of an instant.
With the wind-attribute Golden Phoenix stirring the mist, Su Ye's vision and spiritual power were greatly expanded, allowing for safe detection and searching.
After searching for a long time like this, he did not find any trace of the Thunderclap Hell Vine.
Moreover, Su Ye discovered that the majority of Soul Beasts in Death Canyon were ordinary Soul Beasts.
There were not many Soul Beasts that could transform into undead creatures after death.
Along the way, he also encountered a few battles between undead Soul Beasts. Undead Soul Beasts do not need cultivation; they can become stronger by killing each other and fusing the opponent's bones and soul.
Such actions were no different from those of evil Soul Masters.
Roar——
Suddenly, a hoarse tiger roar came from afar, the sound exceptionally low.
The spiritual power contained within it was different from the upright and clear spiritual power of humans; it was dark, deathly silent, and ice-cold, giving the soul a suffocating feeling of being frozen.
"...This feeling?!"
Standing on the large tree, Su Ye's eyes were alert as he looked into the distance; the spiritual power contact just now gave him a long-lost sense of familiarity.
In a trance, it seemed to take him back to the state he was in on the day he attacked Blazing Academy.
Although the states were slightly different, the spiritual fluctuations were similarly indifferent, without any emotion, silent like deep-sea silver.
And the feeling of death was almost identical, like a demon lord standing on a throne, where blood and slaughter were commonplace, and laughing while drinking blood for pleasure was not impossible.
Whoosh!
Without hesitation, Su Ye darted towards the direction of the tiger roar, intending to go and see the situation.
Underneath a pitch-black giant tree, a blood-gold tiger was savagely gnawing on the flesh and bones of its prey, the nearby forest enveloped in the crunching sound of breaking bones, which sounded like his own bones being bitten.
That prey was also unusual; it was an Ironback Bear, its body appearing to be over three meters tall, and its year count definitely exceeded one thousand years.
In comparison, the tiger, which was only a little over a meter long, was pathetically small in front of the black bear, yet it was feasting on the latter.
"Zombie Tiger?"
Su Ye was startled, disgusted by the appearance of this tiger.
The tiger's original body should have been just a Shining Tiger Eyes (Shining Pattern Hanging Eyebrow Tiger), its flesh had already rotted, and the foul-smelling fresh blood had stained its originally beautiful fur crimson, where disgusting maggots could be seen, slowly wriggling at this moment.
Its appearance was exactly like the tigers in the apocalypse chapter, with a shriveled, bony form, emitting an extremely foul smell.
The most eye-catching thing was its empty abdomen; its internal organs were completely hollowed out, leaving only a golden skeleton and residual rotten flesh maintaining the tiger's external appearance and physique.
The flesh, blood, and bones that were eaten completely disappeared inside its body, not flowing out from the empty abdomen.
Roar—
The tiger's throat trembled, letting out a low, dangerous growl, seemingly having sensed the enemy's intrusion.
As it slowly turned its head, Su Ye also saw its tattered head, and under its sunken eye sockets, two red flame-colored eyeballs were revealed.
Fierce and tyrannical, this tiger was enveloped by a layer of pitch-black aura, and black gaseous streams rising like steam emanated from the air, the dense nether energy giving a very unusual feeling, as if the surrounding vitality was being devoured.
Su Ye also felt the Soul Power in his body disappearing, not being attracted out of his body, but more like a strange chemical reaction, dissolving and merging the Soul Power, completely opposite to purification.
No!
Not only Soul Power, but even life seemed to be rapidly draining away!
"What a unique ability!"
His eyes fixed on the blood molecules emanating from his body, Su Ye's pupils contracted; if not for his astonishing eyesight, ordinary people who stumbled in here would simply not notice this strange phenomenon.
If the battle dragged on, he would definitely be worn down by this tiger's fighting style.
Golden light flames "swished" out from Su Ye's body. This golden light was different from the dark golden light of the tiger's bones, which was deep and cold; it was very pure, bright, and grand.
Roar——
The repulsive masculine aura enraged the tiger, and it instantly lunged at Su Ye with a terrifying claw.
"Scram!"
Facing such a disgusting tiger, Su Ye had no intention of getting entangled with it. He punched out, and pure Yang golden light burst forth, instantly sending the undead tiger flying.
Boom——!
The flying tiger crashed through several large trees before finally stopping, which showed how powerful Su Ye's punch was.
But what was astonishing was that the tiger's skeleton did not fall apart; instead, the pure Yang energy that hit its body caused it intense pain, making it let out a miserable roar, constantly rubbing against the large tree, trying to remove the pure Yang power stuck to its bones.
Seeing this scene, Su Ye's heart was startled, and he narrowed his eyes, examining the tiger.
"Its spiritual power and defense are both top-notch, and what it gains from devouring to become stronger is also spiritual power and defense."
"Its bones are the support for its entire body and are the source of the Soul Beast's defense. Bones that have been strengthened are naturally extraordinary."
One must know that Su Ye's physical strength was terrifying enough to fight a Title Douluo.
Even his casual punch just now, which was a Soul Power burst that broke through the air, was not weak in power, enough to make a power-type Soul King fall to the ground.
This tiger was only slightly injured, showing the strength of its defense.
Su Ye couldn't help but think of Bone Douluo Gu Rong; the latter was the top defensive Soul Master, also relying on the defensive power of his bones.
However, with this punch, Su Ye also discovered that the power of his Pure Yang Infinite Technique was exactly the nemesis of undead creatures!
"...Disgusting is disgusting, but these bones are really good!"
Staring at the bones on the tiger's body, Su Ye's gaze gradually became strange.
Last time at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he originally wanted to fuse dragon bones into his Martial Soul, the Golden Phoenix, so that the Martial Soul's defensive strength would be extremely exaggerated.
Who would have thought that there was a residual soul in the dragon bones? Dragon bones were clearly owned items, unlike other things that became his as soon as he got them, allowing the system to synthesize them.
This undead creature's defensive skeleton, even if not fused into his Martial Soul, would be good to fuse into his bow and arrow.
I took a nap in the evening and woke up... it's almost ten o'clock, one update today...
