As his palm landed, a crisp sound rang out. Tian Jizi was immediately woken up by a slap.
Tian Jizi’s lost little eyes regained their clarity. He felt the burning pain on his face. He looked at Ren Qi in front of him and was stunned.
This scene looked familiar!
Ren Qi looked at Tian Jizi as he woke up and gave him a look. He looked at Long Yi’s tail and told him that he was really saving him.
Tian Jizi looked at Long Yi’s tail, and his expression was uncertain. In the end, he did not say anything to Ren Qi.
Being slapped by Ren Qi was much better than being slapped by Long Yi’s tail.
At this moment, several figures flew over from not far away and quickly gathered around the giant gate.
It was the dark divine dragons!
Ren Qi was a little puzzled just now. Why didn’t he see any members of the Dark Divine Dragon clan before?
The sealing gate from before had the protection of the Dark Divine Dragon clan, so the sealing gate here should be the same.
There were many dark divine dragons. They seemed to have left this place to do something and only returned now.
The dark divine dragons returned one after another. There were about two hundred dark divine dragons!
Moreover, there were even more half-step Saint-tier dark divine dragons. There were nearly fifty of them!
However, after these dark divine dragons returned, they did not directly come to Long Yi. Instead, they quickly came in front of the faint blue flames.
Soon after, they began to spit out some round crystals from their mouths.
It was unknown what this round crystal was made of, but it was flowing with light.
When Ren Qi’s gaze landed on this round crystal, he felt a familiar pulling force on his soul.
It was the same pulling force that he felt in the faint blue flame just now. However, in comparison, this pulling force was much weaker.
These round crystals were spat out by some of the dark divine dragons, and they directly entered the dark blue flames below.
As these round crystals entered the dark blue flames below, the dark blue flames seemed to have been fueled, and they burned even more vigorously.
“Senior Long Yi, what is this thing? I see that the tarnished seem to be afraid of this blue flame.” Ren Qi looked at Long Yi, he pointed at the scene where the dark divine dragons threw a round crystal into the dark blue flame.
Hearing this, Long Yi immediately said, “That is the dark flame, which is specially used to restrain the tarnished. The soul orbs that may condense in the tarnished bodies can be used as fuel to burn, and it can emit a light that the tarnished fear.”
“Soul orbs? What is that thing?” Ren Qi raised his eyebrows and continued to ask.
Because the Holy Stone needed soul power, Ren Qi was very concerned about things related to souls.
And this soul orb obviously had a lot to do with souls.
Listening to Ren Qi’s question, Long Yi continued, “A soul orb is formed from the soul power of the tarnished’s chaotic soul. It can only be formed after a creature has been a tarnished for a long time.”
“When a large number of soul orbs are burned, the light and aura they emit will make the tarnished feel that there are extremely powerful tarnished here, someone much stronger than them, so they don’t dare to approach this place.”
“If we didn’t have soul orbs, we wouldn’t have been able to guard the sealing gate for such a long time.”
Soul orbs formed from the soul power of the tarnished’s chaos?
Ren Qi was stunned. He didn’t expect the soul orb to be formed like this.
Then, Ren Qi realized something. He looked at Long Yi and asked, “Senior Long Yi, can this soul orb be used by the Holy Stone?”
The soul power of the tarnished couldn’t be used, but he didn’t know if the soul orb formed by the soul power of the tarnished could be used.
When Long Yi heard Ren Qi’s words, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. “Holy Stone? You have a Holy Stone?”
Ren Qi was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Long Yi and nodded. “I have a Holy Stone in my territory. Does Senior Long Yi not have a Holy Stone?”
According to the information that Ren Qi knew now, many monster forces contained Holy Stones, and the powerful Dark Divine Dragon clan should also have Holy Stones.
However, listening to Long Yi’s surprised tone, it didn’t seem to be the case.
Long Yi’s expression changed several times. Then, he looked at Ren Qi and said, “Of course I don’t have any here. Holy Stones can only be found in the land of the Gods!”
Holy Stones were only found in the land of the Gods?!
Ren Qi wasn’t the only one. Zhao Yuheng and the others were all stunned when they heard Long Yi’s words.
After all, they also had a lot of Holy Stones in their hands.
They were indeed very surprised when the Holy Stones appeared at the beginning. After all, the Holy Stone was very powerful and could help soldiers raise their ranks and levels.
Moreover, they had never heard of Holy Stones outside of the black fog.
However, as more and more Holy Stones appeared, and they each had their own Holy Stones, their feelings of how rare Holy Stones were were greatly diluted. “…”
Ren Qi did not expect to hear that Holy Stones were actually something that only the gods possessed.
Ren Qi was stunned for a moment before looking at Long Yi and saying, “That’s not right, senior Long Yi. According to what you said, Holy Stones should be extremely rare, but most of us already have Holy Stones. Moreover, the Elemental Elf Queen and the Dark Elf Queen already had Holy Stones.”
Long Yi’s expression changed when he heard Ren Qi’s words. Then, his gaze fell on the Dark Elf Queen and the Elemental Elf Queen.
“When did you get your Holy Stones?”
The Elemental Elf Queen and the Dark Elf Queen looked at each other when they heard this. Then, the Elemental Elf Queen slowly said, “The Holy Stones of our elven race were given to us by the Elf Goddess after the divine war a hundred years ago. I heard that each of the three elven tribes was given Holy Stones by the Elf Goddess!”
Hearing the Elemental Elf Queen’s words, Ren Qi was stunned.
The Dark Elf Queen’s Holy Stones were obtained from the split Holy Elf Tree. In other words, the Dark Elf Queen’s Holy Stones and the Elemental Elf Queen’s Holy Stones… all of them were given by the Elf Goddess after the divine war a hundred years ago.
Being given by a god was also extremely rare.
However, the Holy Stone didn’t seem to be a rare item anymore. There were even a few lucky new lords who could pick it up while walking!
“The Divine War a hundred years ago! Bestowed by the Elf Goddess? Now, most of you have the Holy Stone!” Long Yi repeated these words, and the expression on his face changed several times.
“F*ck! I’ve been deceived!” Long Yi roared angrily. His expression was very angry!
Then, Long Yi’s gaze landed on Ren Qi, full of anger.
Ren Qi was stunned. Then, he leaned closer to the Dark Elf Queen and the Elemental Elf Queen.
“Senior Long Yi, why are you looking at me like that?” Ren Qi asked with a puzzled expression.
From Long Yi’s appearance, it seemed like he had been tricked by someone, but why was he looking at him like that?
He wasn’t the one who had deceived him!
Long Yi’s chest heaved up and down a few times, and then his huge dragon body directly soared into the sky.
Long Yi quickly flew in the sky, and he kept spitting out pitch-black dragon breath from his mouth, continuously swaying his body in the sky.
Ren Qi and the others raised their heads, their faces filled with shock.
Ah, this…
It seemed like he was quite angry.
However, they didn’t say anything just now. They just said some facts. Did they touch Long Yi’s taboo?
After venting for a long time in the sky, Long Yi slowly descended and returned to the front of the giant gate.
Ren Qi looked at Long Yi who had vented his anger and said carefully, “Senior Long Yi, is there a problem with what I said just now?”
Long Yi glanced at Ren Qi and said coldly, “I made a deal with a god before. I’ll guard the sealing gate and the forbidden land for a hundred years, and then I’ll get a reward from him.”
“And among the reward he mentioned, the most important one is the Holy Stone!”
Hearing Long Yi’s words, Ren Qi was immediately stunned.
Thinking of the memories in his mind, Ren Qi had roughly guessed the reason why Long Yi was so angry.
The person long Yi was talking about should be the person he saw in the mural who betrayed the temple. He was a god!
After making the deal with him, Long Yi would lead his clansmen to guard the sealing gate and the forbidden land for a hundred years!
The most crucial part of the reward was the Holy Stone.
However, there were already a lot of Holy Stones in the black fog.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they were guarding the place, the Dark Divine Dragon clan would have already possessed a Holy Stone.
Moreover, the Dark Divine Dragon clan must have paid a heavy price to guard the sealing gate and forbidden land for such a long time.
Wasn’t this just being deceived?!
It couldn’t be said that they were deceived. After all, Long Yi didn’t know that so many Holy Stones would appear amidst the black fog at that time.
However, after his expression changed, Long Yi seemed to have accepted this fact, and his expression became much calmer.
“That fellow is indeed worthy of being the person who said those words. He actually did it to such an extent. The most precious thing of the celestial race was actually given away by him just like that.”
Long Yi shook his head. Then, he looked at Ren Qi and said, “You want to ask if the soul orb can be used in the Holy Stone, right? It is impossible for ordinary soul orbs to be used.”
“That’s because the soul power contained in the tarnished’s soul orb is very chaotic. It’s impossible for them to be devoured and absorbed by the Holy Stones.”
“However, after the soul orbs are burned, the impurities in them will be burned first and then transformed into pure soul orbs. Although nearly one-third of the soul power will be lost, the remaining soul power can be used.”
Hearing Long Yi’s words, a hint of joy appeared in Ren Qi’s eyes. He looked at long Yi and asked, “Since Senior Long Yi knows that he can obtain Holy Stones, did he reserve a lot of pure soul orbs?”
Long Yi shook his head, after which, he pointed at the enormous dark blue flame in front of him and said, “After our Dark Divine Dragon clan obtains the soul orb, we throw the soul orb into the fire. One-third of the soul orb is burned immediately which releases a strength that terrifies the tarnished. The remaining two-thirds of the pure soul force will be used as fuel and continues to burn.”
“If we don’t burn the soul orbs, we won’t be able to form such a long-lasting dark fire.”
“For the safety of our clansmen, we must keep the dark fire burning continuously. It’s impossible for our clansmen to hunt for soul orbs all the time, so we must burn the soul orbs to the fullest.”
Ren Qi’s eyes revealed a hint of disappointment when he heard this.
However, knowing the existence and function of the soul orbs was already a great harvest for Ren Qi and the others.
After all, Ren Qi and the others’ knowledge of the tarnished was useless before. Only those who ate the corpses of the tarnished to help increase their strength would be useful.
However, it was different now that the tarnished might have soul orbs in their bodies.
Ren Qi could even see that Fang Qian and the others were already rubbing their fists together. It was as though they could not wait to deal with the tarnished and obtain the soul orbs.
They had already tasted the benefits of using Holy Stones to increase the strength of their troops.
As long as they had soul power, they would be able to continuously increase the strength of their troops. Soul orbs were a necessity for them.
At this moment, Elise came to Ren Qi’s side and opened her hand. There were a few soul orbs within it.
“Master, this was discovered from the bodies of some of the tarnished. At that time, I felt that it was a little strange, so I took it. I did not expect that these were soul orbs.”
Ren Qi nodded as he looked at the soul orbs in Elise’s hand. After which, he instructed Elise to keep these soul orbs.
Compared to ordinary soul power, the soul power contained in the soul orbs was obviously much denser.
It could even be said that it was much denser. After all, the soul power in the soul orbs could even sway one’s mind.
Moreover, these soul orbs were natural containers for storing soul power. There was no need to worry about storing soul power anymore.
Ren Qi no longer had those soul storage bags.
If other new lords joined daybreak, Ren Qi would no longer have any bags to give away.
At that time, it would be very troublesome for the other party to come to the succubus territory to use the elemental saint stones.
After thinking for a moment, Ren Qi looked at long Yi and asked, “Senior Long Yi, can we handle these soul orbs on our own?”
After all, this was a place guarded by Long Yi and the Dark Divine Dragon clan. Ren Qi still had to ask.
Long Yi nodded. “You can use the soul orbs you’ve obtained on your own. However, I warn you that you must not forget to burn one-third of them before using them. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences.”
Ren Qi and the others nodded one after another, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces.
This could be considered one of the few pieces of good news for Ren Qi and the others.
After coming here, it was clear that they had passed through that strange lost zone. Although their soul power had increased quite a bit, it wasn’t considered much of a gain.
The first sealing gate that they had just passed through was filled with tarnished, as well as that strange corpse limb. They didn’t receive any benefits at all. Instead, they had lost quite a number of troops.
There were still five sealing gates to pass through. If all of them had so many tarnished, Ren Qi and the others would be annoyed to death.
After all, tarnished weren’t monsters. After killing them, they could obtain monster meat, soul power, and other materials.
However, things were different now. The tarnished’s body might contain soul orbs.
This was a great temptation for new lords like Ren Qi.
Six sealing gates?
It was a small matter. The more tarnished, the better.
Especially for Fang Qian and Guo Feiyang, they couldn’t wait to use a few more sealing gates.
After all, they had used the Elemental Holy Stone relatively late. After experiencing the power of the Elemental Holy Stone, they desperately wanted to keep using it.
However, the prerequisite to using the Elemental Holy Stone was soul power. Even though they had besieged several monster forces, they still didn’t obtain much soul power.
Compared to the many troops, the progress of upgrading was somewhat slow.
Now that they had heard about the soul orb, they were naturally on steroids.
“Go, go, go! Let’s hurry to the forbidden land!”
