Path of the Warrior: My Soul Ring Can Be Fused Indefinitely! - Chapter 30
Late at night.
From time to time, a roar or two could be heard from the depths of the Desolate Millet Mountain Range. The ground shook but soon, peace was restored.
The place where the members of the Pure Wind Clan rested was peaceful and harmonious. No monsters came to invade.
Everyone fell into a deep sleep.
In the darkness, a figure flashed through the team and sneaked into the forest near the dead river.
After passing through the forest, Li Ran let out a sigh of relief. He observed his surroundings and did not sense the presence of monsters. He took out his storage ring and took out the sleeping Nine-Tailed Fox.
.
A dagger appeared in his hand out of nowhere and gently scratched the Nine-Tailed Fox’s body. A muffled sound came from the silent forest. Compared to the heart-shaking roar of the beast, it was like a rock sinking into the sea. It did not cause much of a stir.
‘Then let’s begin the fusion!’
Li Ran held his breath and no longer paid attention to the movements in the outside world. He devoted all his attention to his Soul Ring.
After today’s battle, the stone had absorbed a lot of nutrients from Beast Slayer’s body. Its surface was even clearer. When Li Ran first noticed it, he was very surprised.
Other than fusing with Soul Rings, he had not thought that the stone could also indirectly absorb nutrients from other Soul Rings.
He slowly moved the stone to prevent it from making too much of a ruckus in the beginning and causing unnecessary trouble.
Around him was an extremely thick circle of white Qi, much denser than that of the Ice Devilish Ape and the White Netherworld Tiger. The Soul Ring of 10,000 years was manifested here.
Li Ran suppressed the excitement in his heart and took a deep breath. He slowly sucked the white Qi into his body and fused it with the floating stone.
The Soul Ring of a high-level monster had high spirituality, so its resistance was even more intense. Nonetheless, Li Ran’s stone was no pushover either. After many times of tempering his physical body, his body and spirit had become much more resolute than before, and his control over the stone had reached another level.
When the Nine-Tailed Fox had just entered his body and had not had the time to resist, he anxiously controlled the stone to move forward. The stone that was floating slowly in his body had woken up.
The stone’s movements were as fast as the wind. It suddenly expanded and revealed a mountain that could accommodate all things. Its imposing manner was like a rainbow, stunning the Nine-Tailed Fox.
After two seconds, the Nine-Tailed Fox came back to its senses. It wanted to launch an attack, but it was too late!
This time, the stone did not use the same style as before where it used a forceful suppression method. Instead, it directly fused the Nine-Tailed Fox’s Soul Ring into its body. While it was fighting against the fox, it unexpectedly fused with it.
Nevertheless, how could a little stone that was only 1,000 years old compare to a Nine-Tailed Fox that was 10,000 years old?
A circle of white Qi suddenly split into many branches. It was as if a Nine-Tailed Fox had descended into the world again. It bit the stone that was fusing with it and broke out.
The Nine-Tailed Fox was full of arrogance. It stood at the other end of Li Ran’s body, facing the stone wordlessly.
‘It’s going to be tough.’
Li Ran had a bitter look on his face. The Soul Ring of a high-level monster was very attractive. It could quickly increase one’s strength but at the same time, it was accompanied by danger.
The gap between the Soul Ring of a high-level monster and his was too big. The risk was even higher. If he was not careful, he would suffer a backlash!
Li Ran suddenly thought of the Desolate Desert from the last time, the Tiger Roar that shook the sky, and the Devouring ability he comprehended from the Ice Devilish Ape. If the stone could show such heavenly power, not to mention the Nine-Tailed Fox, even the Desolate Millet Mountain Range could be destroyed!
“Tiger Roar!
“Break it for me!”
Li Ran recalled the shock from that day and could not help but shout out coldly. The stone bloomed with a luster, and a divine charm sounded out. It was very small but the moment it was heard, the arrogant Nine-Tailed Fox in the distance had a frightened look in its eyes. The tails that had just spread out suddenly shrank into a ball, and it lost its previous spirit.
This was only the sound of a divine charm. The real Tiger Roar had yet to be displayed. It was because Li Ran did not have enough comprehension or the stone’s age was so low that he was still unable to display that kind of divine might.
The Nine-Tailed Fox hid even further away. It had a vigilant look and was afraid of the stone that was emitting a divine charm.
There was no hope for the Tiger Roar. Li Ran seized the opportunity and planned to directly suppress it.
Now was the time!
The Nine-Tailed Fox was looking for a corner in Li Ran’s body that was more suitable for hiding. The white Qi was scattered, and Li Ran knew that this was a rare opportunity!
“Go! Suppress it for me!”
A fierce shout!
The stone displayed the mighty power of today, pressing the Nine-Tailed Fox down at the foot of the mountain. In an instant, the ground and the mountain shook!
Cracks appeared at the bottom of the mountain. With the Nine-Tailed Fox’s counterattack, several cracks gradually expanded, showing signs of collapsing!
In an instant!
Another mountain appeared, pressuring the originally broken mountain rock. The Nine-Tailed Fox’s little counterattack power seemed extremely insignificant at this time.
The cycle repeated. One mountain collapsed, and another even larger mountain appeared!
An unknown time had passed. The resistance of the monster at the foot of the mountain became quieter. Toward the end, there was almost no sound.
The white Qi dispersed and floated. The entire mountain appeared to be radiant and holy. The white Qi floated to the peak and did not stay for long before it was quickly absorbed.
No matter how much white Qi there was, it would not be able to keep up with the absorption speed of the peak. It was as if the Qi was wolfed down.
This time, the fusion involved a high-level monster, but it was unexpectedly smooth. The process was unlike the first time when the Soul Ring fusion occurred, and the monster’s Soul Ring inside Li Ran’s body was tattered beyond recognition.
“1,000 years… 10,000 Years…”
The Soul Ring’s age had increased by a whole tenfold!
This time, entering the Desolate Millet Mountain Range, Li Ran did not expect to reap such a huge harvest. In one night, he ignored many of the processes in the middle and successfully got a 10,000-year Soul Ring!
Li Ran smiled joyfully. ‘My Soul Ring’s age has increased so much, so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem to deal with an ordinary high-level monster, right?’
The stone had absorbed the monster of 10,000 years. Its color did not change anymore, but its appearance had changed slightly as if it was transforming in another direction.
“It can still be like this?”
The stone was becoming more mysterious. Li Ran observed it for a long time, but he could not get a general idea.
He exhaled the turbid gas in his body, and his mind struggled out of the Soul Ring. He had been focused on the stone just now, so he did not notice the movements in the outside world.
The moment he released his mind, Li Ran sensed the aura around him, and his expression changed drastically.
‘Does it have to be so intense right after I level up?!’
Li Ran could not stop complaining. ‘What the f*ck? What kind of luck is this? I actually came across a pack of wolves!’
Hundreds of miles away from him, pairs of dark green eyes appeared deep and terrifying in the dark night.
It was a pack of vicious wolves!
Furthermore, they were a group of magical monsters that lived in the Desolate Millet Mountain Range all year round. They had a unique combat system and were well-coordinated.
These monsters had taken the initiative to find him. It was obvious that they had their eyes on him.
‘Hunting humans?’
Interesting.
Li Ran was not idle either. He secretly sized up this group of wild wolves. They were not very old, only about 700 years old, but there were many of them.
There were twelve of them!
It was trickier than Li Ran had expected.
