Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 183: No Soul (5k)

“Sizzle, sizzle, bang!!!”

The electric spark flashed not far above everyone's heads, and then hit the soil near a few people. Lin Ran looked over and saw that the soil that was hit was still emitting some green smoke.

The wind was very strong, like a blade, and it felt painful when it scraped against my face.

Some people think that it is not wise to enter here without permission. For example, Mo Fan did not think that entering here was a wise choice. However, most people chose to enter here, so they had to come together. The wind seemed to pull them into the storm and tear them apart.

But it is gratifying that the Condensed Evil Pearl is getting brighter and brighter, which means that he is getting closer and closer to what he needs for the Condensed Evil Pearl. What's more, it is safer to be close to Lin Ran. No one knows what Lin Ran is doing. He directly uses the power of angels. After all, it is not easy to solve these strange birds. Maybe Lin Ran has some considerations.

“Thum~~~~Thum~~~~~~!!”

The cry of the strange bird was getting closer and closer, even the whistling wind in the ears could not cover it up. Looking through the hazy wind belt, several green figures could be seen. They flapped their wings hard, fighting against the strong wind while flying towards the crowd.

No one knew what deep hatred they had that made them rush into such a lightning storm without hesitation.

"Get ready for battle!" Ai Jiangtu shouted when he spotted the strange bird.

“Are these beasts crazy??”

"Weaker monster birds can't fly in, so we don't have to deal with so many of them," Jiang Yu said.

Jiang Yu's words were still floating in the strong wind when he saw a large group of strange green birds swooping down against the storm. They were extremely swift and even knew how to control the airflow. They were much more powerful than he had imagined.

“Everyone, be careful not to get separated and maintain formation,” Nan Jue said.

In this storm zone, visibility was very low, and the communicator was also interfered by lightning. There were shrill bird calls and whistling winds, so communication could only be done by shouting. Fortunately, Nan Jue was a sound mage, so her voice could be heard by everyone.

“Everyone, keep your formation. We need to go a little deeper. There are still too many of them. We can’t handle them.” Nan Jue said.

So they continued to march towards a stronger storm, hoping that the storm could really form a barrier and create a natural shield for them...

However, these strange birds are obviously experts in using air currents, so they still chase after us relentlessly.

“Lin Ran, behind you, be careful!” Nan Jue released her perception and listened carefully to her surroundings.

The visibility in the storm was so low that they couldn't even see each other's faces. Now they could only rely on Nan Jue to command the formation.

Lin Ran had naturally already noticed the several strange birds with green bodies and blue wings behind him. They were flying towards him close to the ground. When they got close to Lin Ran, they quickly stretched out their sharp claws, as if they wanted to drag Lin Ran into the air.

The many strange birds in the sky had already tied their napkins and held their knives and forks, waiting for Lin Ran to be thrown up so that they could have a good meal.

“Why do you have to pick me…” Green scales appeared on Lin Ran’s arms.

"Bye." The waving green sharp claws tore into pieces these blind strange birds cleanly and neatly.

The remains of the strange bird fell to the ground and were soon torn away by the storm.

Suddenly, a bunch of black thorns appeared in the storm, and then they firmly pinned down the shadows of several strange birds. The powerful darkness imprisoned them above the dark star array! !

“Is this the fourth-level Giant Shadow Nail? Awesome!” Zhao Manyan’s voice was faint.

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were very close to Lin Ran.

Zhao Manyan is a well-known second-generation rich man, but he was shocked by Mo Fan, a commoner. If nothing unexpected happens, Mo Fan might strengthen his intermediate magic!

Mo Fan also smiled. He could also feel that the Shadow System was now more flexible than before.

“Go help me attract more strange birds, and I’ll set up a big one for them!” Mo Fan said to Zhao Manyan.

"Don't play with fire!"

"Just believe me!"

Zhao Manyan listened to Mo Fan's words and began to use his body to attract the attention of these strange birds.

Zhao Manyan had a lot of defensive skills, so even if dozens of strange birds surrounded him and attacked him for dozens of rounds, he would not be hurt.

"The light is falling!"

Zhao Manyan controlled many light arrows and then shot them in all directions in an extremely suicidal manner. There were so many light arrows that even if they were not aimed specifically, they could still hit the surrounding strange birds. Even if they couldn't hit them, they could still attract the attention of these strange birds.

As expected, the light was so dazzling that the strange birds didn’t kill many of them. However, groups of strange birds flew towards Zhao Manyan, so densely that their wings almost filled the area.

“Is it too much?” Zhao Manyan felt a little guilty.

Just now, a burst of light attacked the group and attracted hundreds of strange birds at once. Zhao Manyan suddenly felt as if he had poked a hornet's nest and was surrounded by hornets.

"How can this be enough?" Mo Fan was not very dissatisfied with this.

"These strange birds are so scary." Jiang Shaoxu said at this time and walked to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran's eyes fell on the few strange birds above her head, but these birds did not attack her.

At this time, the fluttering sounds of many strange birds were heard. Jiang Shaoxu decisively approached Lin Ran, which made him safe. At this time, the two heard the conversation between Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan.

"Old Zhao is going to seduce a few of them." Mo Fan said in a nasty tone. If it were in another situation, people might think that these two people were doing something unhealthy.

"Okay." Zhao Manyan's voice was obviously reluctant.

Jiang Shaoxu immediately showed a foxy smile on his face, and said charmingly: "They want to attract hatred, which is very simple."

She closed her eyes slightly, and then violently spread her mental waves out in all directions.

"Ripples of the Soul - Fury!"

In the spiritual system, blue represents soothing, while red represents mania and anger.

A red light flashed, spreading over a very large area. The strange birds that had seemed somewhat orderly before suddenly became chaotic. Their eyes had been dyed red by the ripples of the mind, and then they flew towards Zhao Manyan's location like crazy, in large groups, in large groups!

In less than a minute, the area within a hundred meters around Zhao Manyan was filled with strange birds, so dense and terrifying.

“Oh my God, are you trying to kill me for money, Jiang Shaoxu?!” Zhao Manyan opened his mouth slightly, but the appearance of Lin Ran and Jiang Shaoxu made him feel a little relieved.

"Isn't this what you wanted?" Jiang Shaoxu laughed again.

She was one of the few calm people in the team. Her psychic power allowed her to easily appease the strange birds that tried to attack her. So in the eyes of the strange birds, Jiang Shaoxu was just a harmless little thing. As long as Jiang Shaoxu did not actively attack them, they would not touch a psychic mage like Jiang Shaoxu.

“Mo Fan, help me!” Zhao Manyan had been submerged, with no idea how many layers of strange birds there were inside and outside.

His defensive magic came one after another. The Light Protection, Water Defense, and Light Scale Armor wrapped in the flock of strange birds all showed a gorgeous blue pattern, which made Zhao Manyan's defensive magic more powerful than other mages with the same spirit species.

"It's almost done. Just hold on for a while. This is my first time using it, so I'm not very familiar with it." Mo Fan said unreliably.

Zhao Manyan couldn't help crying.

First time using? ?
It was obvious that Mo Fan was here to trick people. If he wasn't sure, he shouldn't attract the hatred of these strange birds. He shifted his gaze to Lin Ran and Jiang Shaoxu who were watching the show on the side. Just as he was about to ask for help, Mo Fan spoke.

"Here we go, Siye Rule!"

Dark constellations lingered around Mo Fan. Mo Fan's hands seemed to be holding up a small black sky. The sky was absolutely black and quickly swallowed up Zhao Manyan's position.

The arrival of Si Ye was like a black curtain, which quickly covered the area, and even the numerous strange birds could not escape. It was like the darkness covering the night, and you could not chase the sun and run away from the night...

Si Ye descended, and then completely swallowed up the light in this large area. Zhao Man was so covered that he could not see his hand in front of his face. The strange birds that had originally organized the attack suddenly became headless flies, and they collided with each other in chaos.

Si Ye brought not only blindness, but also intense fear. These strange birds cried out in panic and then flew desperately away from Si Ye's rule.

But the Siye area is a huge maze. No matter how fast you are or how accurate your direction is, you will be trapped inside...

"All of Siye's giant shadow nails have been turned into specimens!!!"

Mo Fan's dark power was quickly released, and then countless giant shadow spikes appeared around him and quickly flew into the Si Ye formation.

These shadow spikes did not pierce the strange birds, but were nailed into the darkness. Although they seemed to be in a random pattern, they formed a huge and three-dimensional dark shadow spike star array, which could cover all the strange birds.

Dark and violent energy surged in the formation. Everything here seemed to be ruled by the God of Night. Any movement of any living being had to be approved by Mo Fan.

All the strange birds were imprisoned in an instant.

"Fuck, this is awesome!!"

In the center of the formation, Zhao Manyan was not imprisoned. When he saw that all the strange birds around him had turned into specimens in the black curtain and were motionless, he could not help but scream.

The power of darkness!!
He had never imagined that the power of darkness could be so strong. This group of strange birds were imprisoned, as if Mo Fan had built a dark cage and locked them in it!

“The Night Rule can amplify any dark magic, which is equivalent to a domain in itself... However, my control is still relatively weak, and I can’t trap them for too long, so you hurry out and I will kill them all in one go!” Mo Fan said.

"Hey... Mo Fan is very powerful." Jiang Shaoxu said. He thought they needed help but he didn't expect Mo Fan to be able to handle it alone. He was unexpectedly powerful.

"Yeah." Lin Ran stood outside Si Ye and watched Mo Fan prepare to release magic.

"Sky Flame Funeral!!"

Suddenly, Mo Fan lifted up two balls of scorching flames that were about to expand, and then sent them into Si Ye's rule.

Fire clouds descended from above Si Ye, and instantly raging flames descended like a torrential rain. After the dense flames landed, they rolled up a larger, more turbulent fire blanket, and then connected together to form a scorching sea of ​​fire.

There was a sea of ​​fire below, fire rain in the sky, and fire clouds high up. Three layers of flames engulfed all the imprisoned strange birds.

Now, these imprisoned strange birds were like falling into a huge furnace. Their beautiful feathers were burned, their bodies were charred and then cracked...

The magic of Sky Flame Funeral itself is a high-level magic with a very wide range and strong duration. Even if the levels of these strange birds are not low, they will have no way out after being locked by Si Ye's Rule and the Giant Shadow Nail Dark Array. The flames will ignite their bodies and will burn repeatedly until they are reduced to ashes!

“It feels so good to kill so many strange birds in one go! Little Loach, you should be able to eat your fill now…” Mo Fan couldn’t help but think as he watched these strange birds quickly die in the darkness and skyfire formation. He wondered how many residual souls he could collect at once.

Maybe space-type stars can also be strengthened!
"Hey, little loach, why don't you absorb it?"

Suddenly, Mo Fan discovered a strange place.

In the past, whenever he killed a creature, the Little Loach Pendant would automatically absorb its remaining souls after death. Mo Fan could also see the green and blue soul lights like fireflies constantly floating into the pendant on his chest...

But this time, there was nothing!

“How could this happen?” This was the first time Mo Fan encountered such a situation.

"Don't these things have souls?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Even the dead need souls to move. If these strange birds don't have souls, then how do they maintain their life instincts?"

Mo Fan thought he would have a great harvest this time, but unexpectedly, he got nothing. The reaction of the little loach told him that these were a group of soulless monsters.

Mo Fan walked up to Lin Ran and said, "These things have no souls."

When Lin Ran killed these strange birds before, he did not let them be consumed by flames because these things had no souls and no one knew what they were.

He nodded and said, "Indeed, there is no soul, it is strange! Why did you discover these strange birds have no souls only now? Didn't you encounter these strange birds before?"

Logically speaking, Mo Fan should have known this a long time ago!
“At the beginning, I didn’t even make a move, but they easily killed them. Later, it was the city barrier that took care of them, so I didn’t notice it.” Mo Fan couldn’t help but say. The number was small before, so he didn’t care. But now he killed a large group of strange birds in one go. Logically, there should be some residual souls, but there is not a single one. This is very abnormal.

"Oh, I don't know what the situation is for now. Let's take it one step at a time." Lin Ran said.

“There seems to be something.” Mo Fan discovered that there seemed to be something in the ashes, and then Mo Fan walked towards the ashes.

“What is this?” Mo Fan quickly walked into the Si Ye formation where charred corpses were scattered all over the ground, and picked up a crown feather that looked particularly bright.

The Sky Flame Funeral could burn hundreds of strange birds to ashes, but this tiny crown feather was not affected and still looked very bright after burning for such a long time.

“Have you seen this thing before?” Mo Fan asked Zhao Manyan and Jiang Shaoxu while holding the bright iridescent feather.

"It seems so, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time." Jiang Shaoxu replied.

“Oh my god, these strange birds are here again…” Zhao Manyan didn’t care about the iridescent feathers at all.

Lin Ran looked at the feather and said, "Put it away. It might be a good thing."

Mo Fan nodded.

Afterwards, Mo Fan asked Jiang Shaoxu to do the same thing. This way, they would be able to deal with the strange birds much faster. As for why they had no souls, they would have to wait and investigate later.

Jiang Shaoxu quickly released his own spiritual ripples, and Mo Fan also began to prepare his Siye formation. He planned to roast the bird in the dark furnace group again, but he didn't expect that this method would fail!

Not only was the strange bird not angered by Jiang Shaoxu's mind magic, it even began to quickly retreat when it noticed the dark aura around Mo Fan...

“Fuck! Are these birds spirits?” Zhao Manyan couldn’t help but yelled.

“The birds before were all dealt with by Mo Fan, and none of them escaped. There were no strange birds nearby just now, so why did they suddenly dodge? Could it be that this thing is controlled by something? This thing discovered Mo Fan’s attack method through their perspective, so when they found that Mo Fan was about to do this, they avoided it!” Lin Ran couldn’t help but say.

Mo Fan and the others looked at each other. Lin Ran's statement was indeed very consistent with the situation.

“Retreat, retreat, retreat, let’s go first, these birds are too weird!” Mo Fan said to Lin Ran and the others as he saw more and more strange birds circling in the sky.

The strange birds above our heads are about to form a huge vortex of strange birds. Although they can be solved, the fact that they have no souls is still very strange, so we should retreat as soon as possible.

……

The team continued to move towards the center of the lightning storm. Now the strong wind was able to tear the slave-level creatures into pieces. They also needed to use defensive magic to be able to move slowly forward in the storm.

“It seems these strange birds don’t dare to chase us anymore.” Nanjue listened to the voice behind him and then said.

“It seems like these things also know how to temporarily avoid the attack.” Mo Fan said.

"Do you think they will just wait for us outside? We can't stay in this lightning storm for too long. The wind is rapidly consuming our magic power. If lightning passes by, our defensive magic tools will also be consumed." Jiang Yu said.

Lin Ran walked beside Mu Ningxue, thinking about the strange bird.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance came, and Lin Ran came to his senses. It turned out that it was Mu Ningxue's hair that was blown onto his face by the wind.

Grabbing these hairs, Lin Ran said, "It smells really good."

Sorry, there should be 6,000 words tomorrow.
