Chapter 9 The Pink Lady
Numerous skeleton swordsmen, each holding a sturdy skeleton shield in one hand and wielding a sharp bone longsword in the other, marched in unison, step by step, approaching the three blue-eyed, green-tailed, red-bodied baboon.
The steady and firm footsteps sounded like the drumbeats of death, striking the baboons' hearts again and again.
At this moment, fear finally showed in the eyes of the three blue-eyed, green-tailed, red-bodied baboons.
They had lost their previous arrogance and turned around in a panic, trying to escape the terrible encirclement.
But at this critical juncture, how could Dugu Zhan possibly let his "prey" escape so easily?
The thirty skeleton swordsmen moved swiftly, forming three orderly encirclements of ten warriors each.
Undeterred, they charged at the blue-eyed, green-tailed, red-bodied baboons with a resolute determination that seemed oblivious to pain and death.
The scene was like an unstoppable torrent of steel.
Faced with such a tight encirclement and a frenzied attack, the three blue-eyed, green-tailed, red-bodied baboons tried their best, but still could not break through these layers of defense.
Gradually, their strength was exhausted in the fierce struggle.
In the end, they all fell to the cold, merciless bone sword of the skeleton swordsman.
To be precise, they died from exhaustion after endless resistance.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Zhan gracefully descended from the tree where he was hiding.
He instructed the remaining dozen or so skeleton swordsmen to be vigilant and guard their surroundings to ensure that no unexpected situations would arise.
He then sat down cross-legged on the spot, preparing to absorb the soul ring of the strongest blue-eyed, green-tailed, red-bodied baboon.
The soul ring of the blue-eyed, green-tailed, red-bodied baboon contains extremely brutal power.
During the absorption process, this force attempted to turn against Dugu Zhan.
However, it never expected that a powerful soul entity had gradually formed within Dugu Zhan's sea of consciousness.
This soul entity was terrifying beyond measure; its vast and powerful aura seemed capable of devouring everything in the world.
What followed was a natural progression.
The vast, ocean-like soul instantly materialized into a gigantic soul hand, like a towering mountain, which firmly pressed down on the remnant soul of the blue-eyed, green-tailed, red-bodied baboon, and then began to slowly devour it.
The entire process lasted for several hours.
With complete concentration, Dugu Zhan finally succeeded in absorbing the soul ring of the blue-eyed, green-tailed, red-bodied baboon.
With this powerful force, he successfully advanced to the level of a level 32 offensive-type Battle Soul Master.
Time flies, another year has passed...
In the blink of an eye, Dugu Zhan has grown into a level 38 powerhouse.
On this day, he encountered a group of special soul beasts in the forest.
Among them are a group of "Pink Ladies" who are over a thousand years old, and even more eye-catching is a mutated "Pink Lady" who is 6,530 years old.
This "Pink Lady" is a variant of the "Pink Lady" and is the most powerful among all the "Pink Ladies".
The conditions for this mutation to occur are extremely demanding.
First of all, this soul beast must have at least three thousand years of cultivation.
Secondly, it must also devour one hundred ordinary "Pink Ladies".
Once the "Pink Lady" appears, she will summon her tribesmen on a large scale. Surprisingly, she will feed on these tribesmen.
Despite the risk of being swallowed up, most "Pink Ladies" still willingly follow it.
In their eyes, the "Pink Lady" is undoubtedly the strongest representative among the ordinary "Pink Ladies," symbolizing the hope and glory of the tribe.
This soul beast resembles a scorpion, but it is not a scorpion in the true sense; it only has some resemblance in appearance.
Moreover, they are a social species, and when they unite, they often exert great strength.
Dugu Zhan stared intently at the 6,530-year-old mutated "Pink Lady" and the hundreds of thousand-year-old "Pink Ladies" following it.
After a moment's thought, he gritted his teeth and resolutely decided to launch a full-scale attack on these soul beasts in order to increase his strength and devour their souls.
"Second Soul Skill, Skeleton Spirit!"
At Dugu Zhan's command, a surge of powerful soul energy instantly erupted.
He successfully summoned forty-five skeleton spirits, a number that has now reached the upper limit of Dugu Zhan's spiritual power.
If he summons any more skeletons, his soul power will not be able to sustain it.
Fortunately, Dugu Zhan's necromancy has gradually awakened.
As time went on, he believed he would become stronger and stronger, and the number of skeletons he could summon would inevitably increase.
"Innate Soul Skill: Skull Armament!"
Dugu Zhan remained calm and composed, and then released his innate talent soul skill.
In an instant, jet-black bones rapidly covered Dugu Zhan's entire body like a tidal wave.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a skeleton elf-like figure, with a quiver on his back filled with thirty-two gleaming skeleton bone arrows, and a finely crafted bone bow in his hand.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
The forty-five skeleton spirits moved in unison, their steps perfectly synchronized, like a well-trained army.
Dugu Zhan worked closely with them, drawing his bow and shooting arrows, launching a strong attack on the "Pink Ladies" from the front.
"Swish swish swish!"
A large number of bone arrows took off like meteors, carrying sharp soul power, and shot towards their target.
Under this attack, more than a dozen "pink ladies" were terrified and fled in all directions.
This sudden attack thoroughly enraged "Pink Lady".
It immediately commanded the "pink ladies" around it to launch a swift counterattack.
Moreover, it releases a type of yellow pollen that can confuse the mind.
In an instant, an eerie atmosphere filled the air.
At the same time, some "pink ladies" opened their bud-like mouths and fearlessly pounced on the skeleton elf, swallowing it whole.
After chewing a few times, they spat out a pile of black bones, a truly horrifying sight.
