Chapter 274, Soul Seed

A piece of dark blue crystal that looked like a gem was dug out by Graystone from the wriggling flesh and blood.

Very beautiful thing.

Fine lines, clear shapes, maintaining a grasping posture, but at the same time so clear, transparent and beautiful.

Such a weird description is a bit strange, but it is particularly appropriate.

This is a piece of hand bone, a piece of hand bone with a faint blue color. This is what Huishi dug out from the flesh and blood.

Just by holding it, one can feel the power from the dark blue hand bones, a very special power that the rat people have never encountered before, the power of the soul.

If we say that blood mushrooms were born into the world by absorbing the essence of life.

Then this dark blue hand bone is going to be more extreme.

Souls truly exist in this world, and the authority of the god of death is the best proof of this. However, there are too few media that can contact souls.

The souls of ordinary mortals are too fragile.

There is no such thing as reincarnation. Soon after death, the soul will leave the body and naturally dissipate in the world.

This is a common situation.

Only gods on the path of death will build the cycle of life and death in each world. All gods who uphold the kingdom of God will also take in the souls of their believers. The others will return to the world again and disappear into the heaven and earth.

But there are always unexpected things.

In that grand sacrifice, because the blood pool was overflowing, all the sacrifices were thrown into the deep abyss like garbage after a short pass through the blood pool. There were millions of corpses.

This was a round of offerings that even Xiaochun couldn't finish.

Xiaochun chose to preserve these corpses, and this field of meat was given the characteristics of being alive, which brought about a problem, a problem that cannot be avoided.

These guys were revived, and their souls were bound back into this weird piece of rotten meat.

As a demigod, a demigod on the life side, Xiaochun is not qualified to play with souls, but that does not prevent him from using such a bizarre method to create an eternal prison.

This is undoubtedly an extremely evil act.

But Xiaochun just forgot to come back and eat the delicious food.

Countless souls are surging in this field of flesh, and there is bad news: souls carry memories because they are still living creatures in some ways.

If you really die and disappear between heaven and earth happily, it won't be too torturous a thing.

But they are still alive.

Countless souls share a piece of meat that doesn't even have a brain. Yes, this is the power of life. For pure life, living is an instinct, and neither wisdom nor soul is a necessity.

Can you accept living in a twisted and crowded piece of flesh and blood, constantly listening to the painful wails, silent mumblings, and endless chaotic emotions?

We all live in the same body and exist in the state of soul. You cannot resist the emotions, thoughts, and endless wailing of other souls.

Most of the souls went crazy in a very short time, and a small number became powerful lunatics. As they devoured each other, there was more than one time when a soul integrated everything in this piece of rotten meat, but then ate it all.

They can't even face themselves.

This piece of flesh and blood will not respond to them. It is just a piece of rotten meat, a piece of rotten meat that survives by the authority of life.

Collapse, and shatter again, endless torture, until finally entering complete numbness, flowing instinctively in the veins of this rotten flesh, breaking down one's body bit by bit in despair.

This is a wonderful process, but at this point, the rats are still unable to truly use the power of their souls. This is just a never-ending prison of despair.

Everything changed until Xiaochun swallowed the power of the Craftsman's Furnace.

A faint blue light lit up among the bones piled in flesh and blood.

The shattered soul light spots began to be absorbed by these bones little by little, and were gradually imprinted on these blue bones.

This process was concealed by the dark abyss and remained unnoticed by the ratmen until today, when it was dug out by the graystone.

There is certainly power in these gemmed bones.

Even the level of that power is quite high, and so is its purity.

Maybe it can be used as a mineral.

A soul mineral, sustainable even.

Recently, countless starving rat pilgrims have been thrown into the abyss. Their fate is no different from those creatures killed and piled up by the rats, and even eternal torment accompanies them.

As their bodies were swallowed up by this wriggling field of flesh.

There are some differences, these guys are particularly crazy and can be considered inferior. Even if their souls collapse and begin to dissipate themselves, they can still maintain the thought that they are most obsessed with.

"I am the most pious, I am the most pious!"

In the complex veins, a point of light was running madly, a ratman pilgrim who had just been swallowed up.

He collided head-on with a dark blue bone, and part of his soul shattered and was gathered by the bone, but he did not stop running. He shouted loudly and frantically, running wildly among these veins.

The soul fragments of this ratman pilgrim were somewhat different from the output of ordinary souls. They were a little green, a dirty green. The dark blue bones infected by them were also stained with a little green, although this little green was quickly suppressed. However, the crazy thoughts contained in them were not so easy to dissipate.

This is a very strange thing, although I don’t know how the rat people will use it.

Another skinny, skeleton-like corpse was thrown into the abyss, and fell heavily on the surging ground of flesh and blood.

This startled Huishi, who was staring blankly at the thing in his hand.

He tightly grasped the dark blue hand bone in his hand, and he felt the strength from this hand bone.

There is no doubt that this is a key.

Today, the treasure in this abyss has finally been discovered.

As a discoverer, Graystone is one step closer to his goal, but what he faces is worse than ever before. The ratmen are a group of extremely utilitarian and abominable guys who embrace pragmatism.

When it comes to things that can bring them benefits, there is always only one simple way to deal with them.

Kill you, and then take what you have in your hands into my own.

Negotiation and compromise are things that are only proposed when you and they are on equal footing.

But this stupid guy obviously isn't the type who would think so much.

He tightly grasped the thing in his hand, treating it as a treasure.

But what he didn't realize was that a guy was also staring at him, staring at the blue hand bone that he was holding tightly in his hand, and at the same time had an expression that showed he was treating it as a treasure.

This dark abyss has an owner.

He was a crazy guy who was getting more and more crazy.

………….

Sheng Qi has been in a bad mood recently, a very bad mood. Even though he has obtained the nautical chart of this area, his progress is not smooth.

In other words, there was simply no time to move forward.

Lived like a real rat.

Shortly after the end of that naval battle, more human sailing warships appeared on the ocean.

It was certain that he could not win the fight, so Sheng Qi had no choice but to begin a strategic shift, or it would be completely appropriate to say that he just ran away in panic.

Faced with the sailing warships that were like a pack of wolves, Sheng Qi abandoned his bathtub warship and started digging tunnels in the mountains and forests of the island, like a group of real rats.

There is no unwise choice to confront head-on, because you simply cannot win.

However, this group of humans were much more interested in the bathtub warships abandoned by Sheng Qi than in chasing Sheng Qi himself, because they were surprised to find that these warships were actually made entirely of metal.

Moreover, the metal used to cast these warships is not of poor quality, but of good strength, and is high-quality steel.

Those Big Claw Priests did not cut corners on the materials, which is why Rope Seven was able to navigate the seas with these simple bathtubs without layered structures.

The material used is indeed good enough and hard enough.

After realizing this, the humans' eyes lit up. They did not particularly understand the rat people's extravagant behavior. This bathtub battleship was so simple that it looked like a toy.

But I was also amazed at the wealth of the rat people. If they were so wealthy, they would not bother to work as part-time pirates.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately began to try to tow the rat warships that were forced aground by Rope Seven.

This was a huge project, and humans had been working on it on the beach. From time to time, some lighting techniques would be projected into the sky, and the flickering light stimulated Sheng Qi's sensitive nerves.

This group of humans is too rude and too bullying.

Secretly appearing at a hole dug out on the cliff, Sheng Qi was helpless and furious.

This was impotent rage, but facing the huge fleet of warships, Sheng Qi still made the most correct choice with all his heart. Hard fighting was an unwise choice.

Now, all hope can only be placed on those guys who were sent back for help.

The leader was the Big Claw Priest. Although he was reluctant, Sheng Qi had to admit that among the ratmen he led, only that guy could understand the nautical chart, and only that guy could possibly drive the ship back.

Of course, he was not confident about the Big Claw Priest, so as an insurance, he sent out his own guards, the rat-men plundering knights, as supervisors.

To make sure someone would come to rescue him.

Does Sheng Qi really trust his own guards? Not necessarily. He knows the character of those guys.

But what can I do if I don't believe it?

Looking around, Sheng Qi suddenly realized that there seemed to be no reliable guy under his command.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, the wet and salty sea breeze blew towards him. At this moment, Sheng Qi suddenly felt a little melancholy.

Melancholic guy.
