Chapter 116: Demonic Vine, External Soul Bone
After taking the Nine-Rank Green Spirit Pill and the Black Jade Divine Grass, and now absorbing the essence of the Blue Silver Emperor, coupled with the suppression of the Black Jade Divine Grass on plant-type soul beasts, Davis was confident that Anna would be able to absorb this ten-thousand-year soul ring.
As expected, after the initial pain, Anna successfully passed the dangerous period. The soul shock after the death of the soul beast was completely suppressed. The next step was to enjoy the fruits of victory.
While Anna absorbed the soul ring, Davis and Li Hu stood aside, silently protecting her.
Six hours later, Anna slowly opened her beautiful eyes, and her originally brown pupils emitted a green light.
However, unlike Dugu Yan's dark green pupils, Anna's eyes flashed with a bright green light, representing the infinite vitality of spring.
Davis didn't notice the change in Anna's pupils at first, too concerned about her condition. He quickly asked, "Nana, how do you feel? Did you feel tired absorbing the ten-thousand-year spirit ring?"
"Brother Weiss, I'm fine!" Anna smiled and said, "Let me tell you—my spirit power has reached level 42! Not only that, after absorbing the spirit ring of the Demon Eye Demon Tree, I gained a powerful spirit skill!"
Davis was intrigued and asked quickly, "Oh? Show us your powerful spirit skill!"
"Okay!"
Anna stood up from the grass and walked toward the nearby trees, releasing the Black Jade Divine Grass. Yellow, purple, purple, and black—four spirit rings floated around her in turn.
As the Black Jade Divine Grass appeared, the surrounding plants trembled slightly after sensing the aura of the King of Plants—calling to their queen...
At this moment, the fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up, and Anna's voice rang out at the same time.
"Fourth spirit skill: Demon Domain Vine!"
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!
The Black Jade Grass in Anna's hand suddenly stretched out hundreds of meters, shooting toward the surrounding trees like dark green poisonous snakes. The air was filled with the sound of the grass tearing through the wind. At this moment, it resembled thousands of branches of the Demon Eye Demon Tree, striking toward a tree thick enough for two people to embrace.
Swish—
A sharp cutting sound rang out. The Black Jade Grass was like a sharp blade, slicing the tree clean in half. It was a replica of the Demon Eye Demon Tree's Thousands of Branches skill, except that the branches had been replaced by Black Jade Grass.
"What a powerful skill!" Davis couldn't help but exclaim, looking at the severed tree trunk. "This Demon Domain Vine clearly inherited the Thousands of Branches ability of the Demon Eye Demon Tree—your Black Jade Divine Grass is now as sharp as a knife!
If I'm right, combined with your third soul skill, the power of this new one should be even greater than before!"
"Exactly! And Brother Weiss, my Demon Domain Vine isn't just that simple. Look!" Anna stretched out her slender jade hand, raised a green finger, and pointed at the severed tree trunk.
Davis looked closely and saw that the originally lush tree was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within seconds, a tree thick enough for two people to hug had completely withered. Such a bizarre sight shocked Davis.
"This is the corrosive venom of the Demon Eye Demon Tree!" Davis's eyes lit up as he caught the clue. "The Demon Vine not only inherited the cutting strength of Thousands of Branches, but also its corrosive venom!"
"Yes! Once I activate the fourth soul skill, my Black Jade Divine Grass can release a venom that corrodes even steel—capable of destroying an enemy's body completely."
After a pause, Anna continued, "And the venom only appears when I use the fourth soul skill. Normally, my Black Jade Divine Grass is non-toxic. In the future, if I obtain the right soul ring, I might even gain a healing skill!"
"Healing soul skills... That's not impossible," Davis murmured. Anna already had strong self-boosting soul skills and didn't need much else at the moment.
Moreover, if Anna could gain a healing skill, it would be highly beneficial for Davis. If they fought side by side in the future and he got injured, Anna could treat him.
"Since you want a healing soul skill, we'll have to look for soul beasts good at healing for your fifth soul ring."
Davis smiled gently and continued, "But first, you need to raise your spirit power to level 50. It's getting late—let's head back. We've been out for quite a while."
Davis took Anna's soft little hand, preparing to leave. But Anna suddenly stopped, rubbed her eyes, and murmured, "Wait a minute, Brother Weiss, can you check my eyes? They feel strange."
"What's wrong? Nana, are you having trouble seeing?"
Davis's heart skipped a beat. The Demon Eye Demon Tree was poisonous. Could it be that in the battle earlier, some vaporized venom got into her eyes?
"That's not it. Actually, I can see more clearly than before. It just feels… weird."
"Come, let me see." Davis leaned in directly in front of Anna. The little girl flushed with embarrassment at his closeness.
She wanted to close her eyes, but Davis was persistent. So, she reluctantly opened them.
Davis saw a pair of green pupils, as beautiful as emeralds.
"So beautiful…" Davis couldn't help but sigh. Hearing his praise, Anna's face turned redder and her heart pounded wildly.
But Davis wasn't paying attention to her expression. He stared at her eyes, contemplating a bold possibility:
Could this be an external soul bone?
External soul bones in the eyes were rare—but not impossible. Ten thousand years later, Huo Gua's Evil Eye Tyrant spirit bone was also an eye-type external soul bone.
Could Nana's green eyes be one too?
With this idea in mind, Davis said, "Nana, try focusing your soul power into your eyes—let's see what happens."
"Okay, I'll try!"
With a thought, Anna channeled her soul power into her eyes. As she did, the green glow in her pupils slowly faded, and eventually her brown eyes returned.
Anna blinked. The strange feeling vanished. With confusion on her face, she asked, "Eh? My eyes are back to normal. That strange feeling is gone. Brother Weiss, what happened?"
"Haha! Nana, congratulations!" Davis embraced her joyfully. This little girl was unbelievably lucky!
From their experiment, Davis could now say with near certainty—those dark green eyes were a manifestation of an external soul bone.
"Nana, congratulations—you've obtained an external soul bone!"
"External soul bone?!"
Not only Anna, but even Li Hu beside her was stunned in shock!
