Chapter 20: Hunting the Soul (2)
Chapter 20: Soul Hunting (2) [This week's nine goals are completed, and 3 chapters are still missing]
The feeling of "scoring points" is so wonderful that the newcomers can't stop.
One or two hundred giants, more than a dozen newcomers, each of whom was assigned some, and most of the tasks given by Dayi had been completed, and even some were even more than some. Dayi was quite "insidious" to "label the price" for each giant. Although the rewards were not too high, it was also a great temptation for Jiang Chaohui and others.
"With the protection of the city wall, the giant is actually not very good!" "It's too weak, it's a one-sided massacre!" Such thoughts quietly took root in everyone's hearts.
Jiang Chaohui thought for a moment and slapped the table hard: "The timid ones starved to death and the courageous ones are exhausted!"
"Brother Jiang, what's wrong?" You Xin and Li Tongzhi, who were in the same room as him, were startled by his sudden sound and asked hurriedly. "What's the matter to be done."
Jiang Chaohui took out the last cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a hard breath, stared at the two of them and said, "I plan to go around the city wall to see if there are any single giants, and have a vote for him!"
"You have also seen the situation just now. Those giants can't do anything to this wall. We are on the wall, and they can't attack us. Since this is the case, why can't we take the initiative to attack?!"
"From the current situation, it is not difficult to complete the task. Do you have no ambitions and earn more capital?"
Jiang Chaohui was very tempted by the words. You Xin and Li Tongzhi were so moved that they patted their chests and expressed their willingness to follow Brother Jiang.
"Brother Jiang, will we be too small? I think it's better to call a few more, such as Liang Pin and the others." Li Tongzhi was still a little lacking in confidence. "In addition, should we talk to Brother Zhang or Sister Lan in advance..."
The air in the room suddenly condensed.
For the "old seniors" of Zhang Shen, newcomers, especially men who are unwilling to be defeated, can be said to be in a complicated mood. On the one hand, they all knew in their hearts that if they were completely free from protection in this dangerous world, it would be difficult to persevere. On the other hand, the inadvertent indifference and disgust that Zhang Shen and others showed made them very unhappy and wanted to do it alone.
Jiang Chaohui was silent for a moment and said, "Let's talk to them... Before that, discuss with Liang Pin Moke and others to see if we can win more people to join."

Li Ji did it as soon as he said hello to Lan Fenghuang, his spiritual power surged around him, his body moved instantly, turning into a floating light, quickly passing through the streets, and soon arrived at the waterway when he entered the Shina District.
The person in charge of guarding the waterway was still Morand Svik. He knew Li Ji and knew that there was such a mysterious woman in black robe among Zhang Shen and his group. The arrival of the latter surprised and happy. He was about to come forward to say hello, but Li Ji didn't care about him at all. He flashed and appeared at the gate of the waterway.
"Open the door." As a spiritual creature, Li Ji naturally has the basic ability of "transforming Xu" through entities, but it is not beneficial to her who is in a stable state.
The sudden sound of nature sounded in my mind made Morander stunned, with a fascinated look in his eyes, and a strong urge to obtain the true appearance of the woman in front of him.
"Open the door!" Li Ji felt his emotional fluctuations, frowned, and a trace of spiritual pressure was added to his voice.
The gate is only two meters above the gate, and the giant cannot enter at all, so it doesn’t matter if it switches.
Li Ji mixed the sound of spiritual pressure, causing Morand to fall into the ice cellar, and he suddenly burst into a cold sweat: "What are you doing while standing there? Open the door!"
A few minutes later, Morand, who watched Le Ji leave, finally woke up from the shock from the soul, and the fanaticism in his eyes increased instead of reducing: "What a fascinating woman... I must get you!!"
After coming out of the several meters long corridor, Li Ji immediately restrained his breath and moved. The giant infected with the T virus was very powerful in all five senses - especially in searching for lively humans. However, Li Ji was not a human, so he didn't have to worry about being exposed when he deliberately hid it.
Before the Wall of Maria and the Wall of Ross were broken, the kingdom was generally vast and sparsely populated. Even at the junction of the Ross and the Hina region, there were not many residential towns below the Wall of Shina. Looking around, except for the rippling waves of the Unknown River under the sun, the plain with a gentle and slightly undulating terrain was covered by a newly yellowed knee-length weed. Among the long grasslands, trees may grow occasionally, most of which are not high, and they are pieced together into a cluster of small groves.
Giants usually move during the day. The survey corps had a member who liked to study giants. After a series of research, it was believed that the giant might have some organ in its body that can absorb sunlight and convert it into an energy source for action. This also explains that this strange creature can keep jumping even if it doesn't have to eat.
This information was not taken seriously and was told to Zhang Shen and others as a joke. The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional, but Li Ji was a little bit conscious and instinctively felt that this information was probably correct.
She is a spiritual creature, and her body is just the "shell" of the soul and is quite sensitive to things in the soul.
When she fought with the giant before, she vaguely felt that in addition to a weak and weird soul fire, there was also a strange thing connected to the soul, like a stove, providing energy for the giant's body and soul.
His cold eyes turned sharply, and soon Li Ji caught a lonely giant.
It was a male (?) giant, still the common expression of patients with severe polio and cerebral palsy. He was walking out of the woods with a very high-end runway step, bathing in the sun very comfortably.
Li Ji twitched his lips, and evil arose from the side of his courage: It’s you!
After looking into the air and confirming that there were no other wandering giants within a radius of hundreds of meters, Li Ji showed his body, like a meteor falling to the ground, stepping heavily on the back of the giant's neck.
The sudden heavy blow, the giant suddenly staggered and fell to the ground in a dog-biting mud. With his hands stretched out, he wanted to stand up. How could Li Ji give it this opportunity? The spiritual power in his body rolled out, turning into an invisible chain to tie its hands and feet, and also pressing its head tightly in the mud, so that it would not have a chance to make a sound.
"Let me see if your strange soul is good for me." As my body moved, Li Ji's right hand stretched out his windbreaker suddenly changed into a beast claw. The cold light was clanging, and each claw seemed to be cast into steel, flashing with a cold light.
With a "swish", accompanied by the steaming high temperature steam, Li Ji's right claw tear his flesh and penetrated deeply into the back of the giant's head!
The threat of life made the giant struggle violently, and even under the influence of the T virus, the power of the body was increasing at an unscientific speed. Unfortunately, the arm could not twist its thighs after all. Li Ji's claws quickly broke through the block of the giant's extremely strong skull and pierced into the deepest layer.
As soon as the thought moved, a light of inspiration appeared on her paws, like a burning flame.
"Come here!" The five claws merged, as if they had grabbed something, and Li Ji pulled back his palm and brought the white steam that was rushing.
The thing that was captured by Li Ji was the soul of the giant!
The moment the soul was captured, the giant's body stopped struggling and stopped moving, and even a strange dissolution occurred. The flesh and blood quickly disappeared and turned into rich steam to dissipate, just like the scene of being killed.
Li Ji put the strange scene in front of him aside, and the sound was turned and flashed a few times, appearing in the canopy of a relatively dense tree, hiding his body.
Slowly spread out his right hand, a ball of soul fire that ordinary people cannot see is burning, it is the soul of the giant.
"A little strange..." Li Ji stared at her, her eyebrows frowned slightly.
This soul looks similar to that of an ordinary person at first glance, and it looks like a chaotic look. However, if you feel it carefully, you will always feel a "wrong" feeling. It is as if you see a tiled floor that is accidentally put on, and your body and mind are suddenly filled with a feeling of discomfort.
"No matter what, let's try the effect first." Putting this strange feeling behind his head, Li Ji held his breath and made a sucking move at the soul.
The giant's soul turned into a line and was swallowed into Li Ji's stomach.
moment--
Li Ji's eyes lit up:
Effective!!
Although the effect is very weak, less than one-fifth of that of a normal human soul, it is still effective in the end!!
The blazing light burst out from under the broken mask of Li Ji, which was greed and desire.
In fact, the Great Void devouring the soul does not absorb the soul itself - a mere evil spirit does not have such a despicable ability, because if that is true, the soul will be completely annihilated and disappear from this world.
Li Ji’s so-called devouring of souls—whether it is to replenish spiritual power or enhance strength—is essentially absorbing the “breath” and negative forces of a soul.
Negative power is easy to understand. The soul is originally a "chaotic" attribute, with yin and yang. What Li Ji absorbs is actually part of the power of "yin". As for "breath", it is a certain substance that all biological souls have. After absorption, it can be beneficial to their own souls, which can enhance the strength of their own souls and promote the evolution of the level of life.
The reason why giant souls are less than one-fifth of that of normal humans is not only because of their weak soul origin, but also because their yin and yang are not balanced, and they are even entangled and mixed together in a messy way. It is difficult to peel off the "yin" forces from it and absorb them.
"Although it's very weak, it's good if it's effective!" Li Ji licked the corner of his mouth, looking unsatisfied.
For Daxu, devouring the soul is indeed a very beautiful enjoyment.
"Hey, No. 1 warning?" Li Ji, who was a little tragic, was awakened by the warning from No. 1, and looked over, but it turned out that several giants were walking towards this side.
