Chapter 221: True Spirit Infusion

Spirit Infusion requires two conditions to be met.One is that you must have seen the original form, and be able to roughly simulate it using Smoke Breath.

Of course, the more accurate the simulation, the stronger the power boost for the simulated body after Spirit Infusion.

For example, with the Flayed Ghost's Scalp, Chen Ye had never seen the Flayed Ghost's original form, so he simply couldn't simulate it, and thus couldn't perform Spirit Infusion.

The second is that you must have an object related to the original form, anything will do.

For example, the tentacle of the Eight-Limbed Human Face, or the Human-Faced Scorpion's Face Skin and Carapace.

Chen Ye looked at the soft human skin and the hard carapace in his hand, his eyes dark and inscrutable.

Since comprehending Spirit Infusion, Chen Ye had planned to use it as a trump card.

As long as he obtained these two items, if he ever simulated the Human-Faced Scorpion in the future, he would definitely be able to narrow the power gap between the simulation and the original.

To obtain this Human-Faced Scorpion's Face Skin, Chen Ye made a deal with the Pink-haired Girl.

In the future, he would do something of equal value to the Human-Faced Scorpion's Face Skin for the Pink-haired Girl.

And then there was this small piece of Carapace.

He originally thought it was in Ding Dong and Iron Lion's hands, but later, reminded by the Pink-haired Girl, he remembered it was with Chu Che.

The value of this Human-Faced Scorpion Carapace was slightly lower than that of the Face Skin.

When they were dividing the supplies, no one was particularly interested in it.

So it was temporarily stored with Chu Che.

During the previous trade fair, Chu Che hadn't brought out this Carapace.

It wasn't impossible for Chen Ye to trade for the Human-Faced Scorpion Carapace.

For this, Chen Ye paid sixty percent of the supplies he currently owned to get the Carapace.

Actually, there wasn't much left.

Chu Che had already taken half earlier in exchange for grain seeds.

Then he took some more during the trade fair.

Now there really wasn't much left.

And another sixty percent was taken.

What remained was even less.

Fortunately, Chen Ye was alone, one person full meant the whole family was full.

Therefore, Chen Ye wasn't particularly reluctant.

After all, the imminent crisis was the most important thing.

Moreover, Chen Ye wanted to test just how strong he was now.

Hatred had been in his hands until now, but its blade had never been drawn!

And just how powerful Spirit Infusion was, he hadn't tested it in actual combat yet.

Possessing these two Anomaly materials, the simulated Human-Faced Scorpion body after Spirit Infusion should be able to get much closer to the original's strength.

As for exactly what percentage of the original's strength it would have...

Without having seen the full power of a complete Human-Faced Scorpion, Chen Ye had no way to judge.

Back then, the Human-Faced Scorpion appeared during the day, its strength greatly suppressed, which was why the few of them managed to kill it.

Actually, the most suitable candidate for Spirit Infusion would undoubtedly be the Death God as the first choice.

Unfortunately, Chen Ye simply couldn't obtain any items or materials related to the Death God.

The second most suitable was naturally the Eight-Limbed Human Face.

Chen Ye had also encountered the Eight-Limbed Human Face, and his simulation could capture some of its essence.

Moreover, he still had the tentacle of the Eight-Limbed Human Face.

But, the Eight-Limbed Human Face's tentacle was intended for upgrading the Monster Pickup Truck.

He believed that after this upcoming event, he would definitely be able to accumulate a large number of Slaughter Points.

He was one step closer to successfully upgrading the Monster Pickup Truck.

A Wonder ranked within the top thousand, compared to an Eight-Limbed Human Face simulated through Spirit Infusion.

Without having witnessed the power of Spirit Infusion firsthand.

Chen Ye couldn't make a decision for the moment, unsure how to choose between them.

Therefore, currently using the Human-Faced Scorpion materials to Spirit Infuse and simulate the Human-Faced Scorpion was naturally the most suitable choice.

Moreover, the Human-Faced Scorpion's strength was relatively easier to control.

As for the Eight-Limbed Human Face.

He would keep it as that deepest-hidden trump card.

Arriving at the cliff edge of the Divine Elephant Village.

A cool breeze lifted Chen Ye's hair.

It had been almost a year since his last haircut, Chen Ye's hair was somewhat long, wildly scattered by the cool cliffside wind.

The Divine Elephant was moving forward slowly.

The clouds before his eyes were also slowly drifting backward.

Recently, the Divine Elephant Village was under strict security, so the cliff edge appeared very quiet.

Looking around, he didn't spot any human figures.

Chen Ye gently exhaled a mouthful of Smoke Breath.

With Chen Ye's current strength, a single mouthful of Smoke Breath could easily spread over a hundred meters around him.

This Smoke Breath, amidst the biting cool wind, wasn't blown away. Instead, it churned and rolled incessantly before Chen Ye's eyes.

Chen Ye tried hard to recall the appearance of the Human-Faced Scorpion he encountered back in the desert.

The massive pincers, the highly raised tail stinger.

And that pitch-black carapace, emitting a metallic sheen...

Alright, Smoke Breath couldn't simulate the pitch-black, metallic-sheen carapace for now.

And that eerily bizarre human face.

Every time the simulation reached this point, the Human-Faced Scorpion's face always had a clump of bewildered, dense Smoke Breath mist.

The Smoke Breath churned endlessly, ultimately failing to coalesce into a terrifying human face.

As for the Human-Faced Scorpion's carapace, it was also only roughly simulated by the Smoke Breath as best as possible.

Chen Ye took out the Human-Faced Scorpion Carapace.

Muttering incantations under his breath: "Void Abyss Infuses Spirit, Transforms Turbid Breath!"

The moment this incantation was spoken, wisps of gray mist seeped from the black Carapace in Chen Ye's hand, the mist churning incessantly.

Endowed with a certain vitality by some mysterious force.

Chen Ye continued chanting the incantation: "Bestow Form and Frame, Erode Moon's Shadow, Life's Condensed Dew Gazes Upon Divine Remains, Mist Devours Light, Heed My Command!"

"Go!"

With each line chanted, Chen Ye felt the Carapace in his hand gain another portion of Spiritual Energy.

He even saw the faint, shifting silhouette of the Human-Faced Scorpion within the Carapace.

The final word "Go" was uttered.

The Carapace in his hand instantly flew towards the simulated Human-Faced Scorpion.

And during this process, the Human-Faced Scorpion Carapace rapidly expanded, finally embedding itself silently onto the Smoke Breath-simulated back of the Human-Faced Scorpion.

Although only one piece of Carapace was embedded, the other parts were still formed by churning smoke.

And the previously somewhat stiff Human-Faced Scorpion seemed to be infused with a soul in that instant.

Raising its massive Smoke Breath pincers towards the sky in a silent roar.

As if unwilling to be imprisoned in soul.

Chen Ye could very clearly sense that this Human-Faced Scorpion he had simulated now possessed a certain mysterious vitality.

Its combat power had skyrocketed several levels.

Although its face was still blurry and indistinct, Chen Ye was certain.

The current Human-Faced Scorpion was very strong.

Chen Ye tried giving the current Human-Faced Scorpion a few commands.

The Human-Faced Scorpion obediently complied.

This did give Chen Ye a bit more reassurance.

Chen Ye finally took out this piece of Human-Faced Scorpion Face Skin he obtained from the Pink-haired Girl.

The texture of this Human-Faced Scorpion Face Skin was very uncomfortable.

It was like holding a piece of real human tissue.

Chen Ye's fingers could even feel the eerie temperature of this skin.

Chen Ye began chanting the incantation again.

The Human-Faced Scorpion's Face Skin once again emitted vaporous Smoke Breath.

"Mist Devours Light, Heed My Command!"

"Go!"

The Human-Faced Scorpion's Face Skin let out a "hehe" laugh, eerie and sinister.

It gave Chen Ye a bad premonition in his heart.

The Human-Faced Scorpion's Face Skin had already adhered to the face of the Smoke Breath-simulated Human-Faced Scorpion.

At this moment, that face skin was like someone who had slept for a long time, just waking from a dream.

Under Chen Ye's tense gaze, the Human-Faced Scorpion slowly opened its eyes.

Its eyes were filled with endless gray mist.

The Human-Faced Scorpion even let out a big yawn, its open mouth also revealing endless gray mist.

Its two large pincers, like human hands, rubbed its face, and only then did it begin to look around.

Chen Ye's heart gave a slight jolt.

Damn, could this thing have developed self-awareness?

When it saw Chen Ye, the Human-Faced Scorpion was momentarily stunned.

After a long pause, it slightly lowered its body, adopting a posture of respect towards Chen Ye.

Chen Ye tried commanding the Human-Faced Scorpion to perform a few instructions.

He felt that the current Human-Faced Scorpion didn't have the same effortless, direct control as before.

It was as if the current Human-Faced Scorpion truly possessed brief life.

An Anomaly with self-awareness.

Even if it was only brief awareness.

It made Chen Ye extremely vigilant.

Therefore, Chen Ye became much more cautious about Spirit Infusing the Eight-Limbed Human Face.

Only now did Chen Ye deeply comprehend the true meaning of Spirit Infusion.

Using residual consciousness and soul as a medium, pulling those vanished souls back into this space, to be used for one's own purposes.

This was the true meaning of Spirit Infusion.

Chen Ye's understanding of Spirit Infusion deepened a little more.

...

Bald Old Li had been feeling a bit down these past couple of days.

After communicating with Little Fish and Zhou Xiaoxiao, he discovered that Sun Xixi and Ding Dong had brought them some practical things to deal with the upcoming trouble.

He had seen those things.

Zhou Xiaoxiao got a mirror.

Little Fish got a Peach Wood Sword.

These things were made by that Taoist priest. Even if these items couldn't even be called Wonders, they could still provide some psychological comfort, right?

They all had something, only he didn't.

Well, Mr. Wu was a bit careless, might not have paid attention to these details, didn't notice, so forget it.

Bald Old Li could only comfort himself like this.

"Old Li, Old Li!"

Just as Bald Old Li was feeling down alone, Iron Lion's distinctive loud voice rang out.

Bald Old Li quickly ran over.

He saw Iron Lion holding a stack of talisman papers in his hand, and was reaching out to hand them to him.

"This is!"

Bald Old Li took them in confusion.

"Protective talismans! Good stuff!"

"Tomorrow will be very dangerous. Have people put these protective talismans all over the houses right now. No matter what happens, don't come out! Don't open the door!"

"Even if it's you guys, we shouldn't open the door!?"

"Yes, among the Anomalies, there are plenty that can mimic human voices. Once the danger is over, we'll naturally come find you!"

Bald Old Li's hand trembled. Tomorrow, tomorrow!

Who knows how many would survive after tomorrow.
