Chapter 83 Sacrifice of the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old White Jade Flame Crystal Tiger
There was no sound coming from the pile of rocks, but the wasp-shaped soul-guided reconnaissance drone that Long You had specially sent out told him that there was life there. Although the flame of that life was flickering like a candle in the wind, it was not extinguished at this moment.
Just as Long You was slightly distracted by the thought that even soul beasts could have great maternal love, an alarm suddenly sounded in the cockpit of Long You's soul-guided power armor.
Based on the information displayed on the soul-guided screen in front of him, Long You knew that this was because a strange spiritual force was trying to invade the head of his soul-guided power armor.
In this world, there are spirit-type soul masters like Huo Yuhao, and spirit-attribute soul beasts like the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm that are millions of years old. Although Long You has not yet encountered either of them, knowing that they exist, Long You needs to prepare corresponding defensive measures.
After more than a decade of meditation and the cultivation of the Purple Demon Eye, Long You can now project his mental energy outwards autonomously. However, in terms of mental defense, Long You can only rely on his soul tool.
Data from the soul tool specifically designed to defend against mental energy attacks showed that while the mental energy attempting to invade his head armor was of decent quality, its quantity was becoming unsustainable.
With a sudden thought, Long You refocused his gaze on the white jade fire crystal tiger that was lying on the ground but still refused to die.
Based on the situation at the scene, Long You was able to determine that the source of that unfamiliar spiritual energy was the White Jade Flame Crystal Tiger that was struggling to maintain itself. Long You even had some guesses as to why the White Jade Flame Crystal Tiger was releasing its spiritual energy at this time.
However, Long You still needs to be cautious when facing the spiritual power released by a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual beast.
There is no need to fear the so-called possession. With the Pearl of Imagination, no one can erase Long You's consciousness in his sea of consciousness. The only thing Long You needs to guard against is the White Jade Flame Crystal Tiger's spiritual power launching a suicidal explosion in his sea of consciousness.
This is not impossible, because Long You's existence could threaten the cub that the White Jade Flame Crystal Tiger is desperately protecting; but this possibility is also unlikely, because the White Jade Flame Crystal Tiger's actions can only "kill" Long You, and He Caitou is also present!
After sending a message to the temporary base requesting Zhang Lexuan's assistance, Long You also instructed He Caitou beside him, "If I don't move within three seconds, then immediately kill that White Jade Flame Crystal Tiger."
After completing these preparations, Long You released his mental energy and connected with the mental energy that was still lingering outside the head of the soul-guided power armor.
"Human Soul Master, your spiritual power is far stronger than I imagined."
As soon as their mental connections were established, Long You heard a weak yet resolute female voice: "My time is running out. I want to make a deal with you."
I know you've reached your soul power bottleneck. I'm giving you my soul rings and soul bones. Take my child, raise it, and let it grow up happily.
"Give me all your spirit rings and spirit bones? You're going to sacrifice yourself for me?"
"Since you know about sacrifices, I'll save myself a lot of trouble explaining. Is the deal settled?"
"Can you hold on a little longer? I need to give my comrades some instructions and make some more arrangements at the scene."
You know, this place just had a major battle, it's not exactly safe.
"Five minutes, you only have five minutes."
"That's enough. Would you like to have the tiger cub? Perhaps you can even feed it yourself one last time."
"Thank you. It's a boy, born bathed in the sunset. I hope its human name will be White Sun."
"no problem."
Opening his eyes, Long You connected to the team's communication system. He had previously requested assistance from the temporary base, so everyone inside must be awake; there was no question of disturbing them.
Long You gestured for He Caitou to follow him toward the pile of rubble they had already discovered; at the same time, he recounted his conversation with Bai Yuyan Jinghu in the team communication.
A pie falling from the sky. A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast was going to sacrifice itself to Long You, who was scheming to obtain his fourth soul ring—this was truly a windfall. However, being elites from Shrek Academy, everyone managed to remain calm in the face of such a situation.
"Can you be sure?"
Zhang Lexuan, who was sure they were already on their way to provide support, asked first.
"It can be confirmed that our communication is done directly through mental energy. There are anomalies when our mental energy fluctuates, which cannot be hidden from each other."
"Then grant its request. I'll be there right away to protect you."
"I've already agreed, and I'm currently working with Senior Brother Caitou to build a temporary defense system."
The sacrifice doesn't need to last long; it only needs to briefly withstand any potential danger.
"Good alertness, I've arrived. Does the Soul Guidance Department sell level seven flying soul tools? Introduce me to a seller when we get back to the academy."
"No problem, Senior Zhang. By the way, Xiao You has already started; he's already blocked communications."
As Zhang Lexuan finished speaking, the voice that responded came from He Caitou's honest and simple voice.
Long You, who was sitting cross-legged not far from the White Jade Flame Crystal Tiger, was now completely enveloped in a layer of silvery-white flames.
Despite being flames, Long You did not feel any intense burning sensation; the silvery-white flames only gave him a feeling of warmth.
When his consciousness entered his sea of consciousness, Long You saw the mother tiger who had given everything to save her cubs.
The white jade flame tiger consciousness that entered Long You's sea of consciousness was already quite blurry, and only the size of a kitten, and was gradually dissipating.
This place is more vast and more mysterious than I imagined. My luck has never been very good, but it seems that my luck turned around once before I died.
You must be one of the most talented human soul masters. I'm entrusting Muyang to you. I'll keep an eye on everything through the soul rings and soul bones.
This is a deal; you've paid a sufficient price, and I will fulfill the promises made in this deal. With your help, I believe I can do even better.
Compared to killing a soul beast and then absorbing its soul ring, the sacrifice, which is actively controlled by the soul beast, is much faster and easier.
In just a few words exchanged in his mind's eye, Long You already felt the bottleneck that had imprisoned him for more than half a year begin to loosen.
With the bottleneck broken, the speed of soul power circulation within Long You's body suddenly increased. A considerable amount of soul power appeared as if it had suddenly emerged from his meridians and dantian, merging into one and beginning to circulate throughout his body under the guidance of his martial soul, allowing him to refine it freely.
