Chapter 436: Deer Carrying Two Souls, the Sacred Object of the Mermaids

The mermaid girl didn't think so. When she saw that group of hateful humans coming towards her, her eyes turned red and her head became hot, and she was about to rush forward and fight to the death, not caring about the situation on the field at all.

Lin Shan grabbed her, fearing that the girl would die at the hands of the blood power of his great elder.

"Don't you see that your clan elders have the upper hand? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The mermaid girl didn't care and begged Lin Shan to help as soon as possible, even if it was to help share the pressure with the elder.

Lin Shan shook his head and refused, telling her to wait.

If I go out now, it would be just icing on the cake. Even if I win in the end, I won't get much gratitude. That is completely different from helping someone in need.

Only when the mermaids are truly in crisis will they be grateful to me.

But the reality is that the mermaids may be chased and forced to flee everywhere on the sea surface, but the opposite is true in the deep sea.

A great elder who possesses the magical power of blood is comparable to an army of thousands!

These human Jindan Zhenren, who can call the wind and rain outside, are greatly weakened when they come to the deep sea, with both their attack range and power cut in half.

The mermaids' strength has doubled!

The difference between the two was huge, and with the help of two other Jindan-stage elders from the mermaid tribe, the situation turned around faster than anyone could imagine.

Endless ocean currents surged, and no matter what magic or magical weapons there were, they were all submerged in the darkness, swallowing up everything.

Even if all the Jindan Zhenren joined forces, they were still vulnerable!
In the camp below, merman monks from various tribes also came from all directions, forming a counter-encirclement trend.

The mermaids who were still fleeing in all directions also had gleams in their eyes, and suddenly turned around and attacked.

At this point, even the slowest-reacting person would sense that something was wrong.

The chief elder of the mermaid tribe was still acting, roaring with a look of grief and anger.

"You despicable human, even if all of us mermaids die in battle today, we will never kneel down and serve you as dogs!"

At the same time, the movements of his hands slowed down, as if he was running out of energy, giving the opponent a chance to catch his breath.

However, all the Jindan Zhenren present were masters who were proficient in intrigue and deception. It was impossible for them to lose their vigilance just because he let them go a little, nor would they run away for their lives as soon as they saw that something was wrong.

This time, they seized a golden opportunity. All the mermaid tribes in the entire Storm Sea have gathered together. If they can accomplish their goal in one battle and catch all the mermaids in one swoop, they will definitely make a fortune.

As for the various accidents encountered along the way, they had already anticipated them in their plans.

Now they were caught off guard, and the mermaids who had the magical power of blood almost knocked them all down at the first attack. It was really scary, but they were not completely unprepared.

Although it's a bit early to use that thing now, it's better to keep it anyway, so it's better to save the fighting power to grab the spoils later and defeat the mermaids first.

These Jindan stage ancestors glanced at the battlefield below. Humans and mermaids were fighting in close combat, and the battle had already developed into a boarding battle. However, for the time being, their side still had the advantage.

After they discussed it with each other, the leader took out a "deer head", and everyone gathered together and chanted a spell.

The eye sockets of this deer head are dark, with dark brown bloodstains at the corners of the eyes. The whole head is dark yellow, with only a short piece of antler left on the top. It looks very eerie and a bit like a magic weapon.

This is what these people specially found as a protection for themselves before this trip.

The ancestors of each family present are all relied upon by the forces behind them. It is impossible for them to rush forward courageously when they know that it is dangerous to lead a team to the deep sea.

Therefore, after discussion before leaving, they specially borrowed a deer head from a famous independent cultivator in the northern part of the East China Sea, Patriarch Lu Que!
Ancestor Lu Que.

He had reached the late Jindan stage and was famous in the East China Sea. He was once known as the two overlords of the East China Sea together with Master Gui of Diaobie Island in the south.

One in the south and one in the north, both of them are dominant.

After the powerful Yuanying stage master Jinglian, these two are the most famous.

It’s just that Master Gui is rather high-profile. He often holds grand events in the East China Sea to collect treasures. He is greedy and vain, and has his own way of making money.

In addition, Diaobie Island has an important strategic location, so it became the first target when the three sects of the demonic sect came from afar decades ago.

Ancestor Lu Que was very low-key. He lived in seclusion on a remote island in the north with a few disciples, where he planted flowers and grass, dissected wild animals, and amused himself every day.

What he is best at is not only anatomy, but also transplantation!

It is said that he was just playing around at first, but later he transplanted the limbs of different monsters to replace his own hands and feet. Later, he transplanted all his internal organs, and finally even replaced his head!

This sounds like a fairy tale to ordinary people, but it really exists and happened to Old Ancestor Lu Que.

And because he had transplanted different essence parts of monsters, his entire body was comparable to a magic weapon. It was even said that he had the magical powers of the monster clan due to repeated blood transfusions!
The rumors in the East China Sea cultivation world are extremely bizarre, one more outrageous than the other, such as three legs and six arms, deer heads and horse faces, hermaphrodites, and blind eyes.
Compared to Master Gui, everyone is more in awe of the mysterious Patriarch Lu Que.

Because of the encirclement and suppression by the evil sect, Master Gui disappeared for nearly sixty years. There has been no news about him for so many years, and everyone estimated that he should have passed away in the open sea long ago.

But ancestor Lu Que is still alive and well.

His non-confrontational character means that no one, whether evil or righteous, will provoke him, so he lives freely and at ease.

When the ancestors of these sects and families came to the northern part of the East China Sea for rotation, they went to visit the ancestor Lu Que together and borrowed a deer head as a common trump card to deal with any unexpected events during this trip.

Patriarch Lu Que was not afraid that they would run away with the money. After all, these people were well-known and prominent figures.

The sects and families behind them are all there, the monk can run away but the temple cannot.

I think one must have paid a corresponding price or been promised enough benefits to be able to borrow the right to use this rare treasure.

As soon as this thing was taken out, the great elder of the mermaid tribe suddenly felt his hair stand on end and an indescribable feeling of palpitations arose spontaneously.

These Jindan Zhenren temporarily worked together to resist the Blue Sea Tide Art, freeing up their hands to activate the Deer Head together. Dazzling blue light suddenly shot out from the two empty eye sockets!

Two long blue rays stretched out in the deep sea like two passages, and two deer-shaped beast souls could be seen passing by.

The great elder of the mermaid tribe on the opposite side had no time to dodge. He was locked by the blue light the previous moment, and the next moment he saw the deer-shaped beast soul dragging a transparent figure back.

Those are two of the three souls and seven spirits!
The speed of his spell casting was so fast and his movements were so strange that even Lin Shan next to him couldn't see it clearly!

"Ouch!--" The great elder of the mermaid tribe held his head and cried out. Both of his souls were dragged away at once. It seemed as if his spirit was being pulled apart. The pain can be imagined.

In the blue channel, although the two deer-shaped beast souls were having a hard time returning and their speed was not as fast as before, they were also pulling back unwaveringly. It seemed as if there were silk threads behind the two souls, pulling them back and preventing them from leaving.

This is the legendary "soul-breaking connection".

From a deep microscopic perspective, the soul is woven together by countless soul threads, as densely packed as a big net, and its toughness is capable of pulling very far. As the cultivation level is elevated to the development of the soul, it is said that the soul threads of the top powers will not break even if they are pulled to the ends of the earth!

Some soul-cultivating races even develop soul threads specifically as a means of fighting and self-protection. They are mysterious and strange, making them hard to guard against.

Using soul threads to control magic weapons or puppets is also easier to control, not easy to lose, and ignores physical influences. It is much safer than controlling with spiritual consciousness.

However, soul threads are not omnipotent. There are countless things in this world that can cut, tear, take away, and dissolve them.

Therefore, in order to facilitate civil wars when encountering colleagues, the ancient soul cultivators each carry a flying knife that can kill gods, just to be able to deal with soul threads. This is standard equipment!
Now, although the blue channel emitted from the eye sockets of this deer head is only as thick as a thumb, it gives everyone present the illusion that their soul is leaving their body and being pulled away.

The major Jindan ancestors mobilized their magic power, and the two deer-shaped beast souls pulled violently. Every time the mermaid elder screamed in pain, it meant that the soul threads were torn off one by one.

The feeling is as painful as having a tendon pulled, and it makes one's eyelids twitch and scalp numb.

The two Jindan-stage elders of the Mermaid tribe nearby wanted to rescue them, but they found that their magic spells and magic weapons could only pass through the blue channel and could not do anything at all.

This passage seemed like light but not light, real but not real, and they were totally helpless!

The mermaid girl who was watching the battle secretly from a distance couldn't help but beg Lin Shan repeatedly, asking him to take action quickly, because the chief elder of the mermaid tribe was her grandfather.

But Lin Shan, the sixth oldest, remained motionless, just watching from afar. It was the first time he saw this kind of spiritual attack method, and he found it very interesting. He was wondering whether he should develop it as well.

He himself practiced both Golden Core and Soul Core cultivation, so logically he could learn Soul Core cultivation and focus on developing the field of spiritual attack.

However, he has too many things to do at this stage. He went to the forbidden area on the cliff before to look for the reed jade stalactite, and now his natal magic weapon is the top priority. Everything else has to be put on hold for the time being.

Even though the Black Skeleton Demon Lord also has soul pills, the Skeleton Clan itself focuses on the legion flow. Other minor techniques are no longer able to keep up at this level. At least minor magical skills and spells are worth learning.

Now when he saw the deer head, Lin Shan's eyes flashed with an inexplicable gleam.

This thing seems to be destined for me!
Although he wanted to pick it up and study it, now was not the right time. He could endure loneliness and was as steady as an old dog.

This blue channel belongs to the means of soul, and ordinary physical attacks are obviously useless. If it were me, only the God-Slaying Flying Knife could try to cut off this channel, cut off the retreat of the two deer-shaped beast souls, and thus rescue the two souls of the great elder of the mermaid clan.

However, his God-Slaying Flying Knife is his life-long soul treasure and is still being nurtured, and it has only been four or five years.

It is impossible to stop halfway just because of the great elder of the mermaid tribe and cause all the previous efforts to be wasted. This guy is not qualified.

As for other methods, let’s not talk about whether they are useful or not. Even if they are really effective, they might accidentally hurt the two souls of the great elder of the mermaid tribe, and ultimately they won’t be able to be rescued.

This is also a problem that troubles the other two mermaid elders.

The two of them were in a dilemma. They wanted to deal with the deer-shaped beast soul but were afraid to do so. They wanted to cut off the blue channel but did not have the ability to do so.

The chief elder of the mermaid tribe opened his mouth and shouted angrily, his face ferocious.

"What are you two still hesitating about? At worst, I will give up my two souls. Please ask for the holy object. I must bury these humans here today!"

"No~~"

The mermaid girl in the distance wanted to stop him, because that was her grandfather, and anyone would feel distressed if he were her granddaughter.

But the two elders of the mermaid tribe were also ruthless. They were unable to take action just now due to emotional reasons, but now with the consent of the person involved, they immediately joined forces to call for the holy object from afar.

Deep in the tribe behind him, which was where the great elder of the mermaid tribe was in seclusion, a colorful light was rising slowly.

Several miles away, a turbulent wave of water suddenly rushed over, following the blue channel and directly hitting the two deer-shaped beast souls, smashing the two souls of the great elder of the mermaid tribe into pieces!
"Ah!~~"

The great elder of the mermaid tribe screamed in pain at the top of his lungs. The old and shrill sound waves were transmitted layer by layer in the sea water, which was a bit sharp and piercing. Many mermaids below could not help but shed tears.

The colorful shock wave did not end after shattering the demon soul, and continued to fly along the passage. With enough power left, it flew in front of the Jindan stage ancestors of each family under the urging of two mermaid elders.

No matter how horrified they were in setting up layers of defense, they were still shattered without any resistance and exploded in front of them.

“Bang! Gudongdongdongdonggudong~”

A colorful mushroom cloud-like shape can be seen in the sea water, and then rings of sea water spread out in all directions. Under the overlapping influences, the two parties fighting on the seabed were also affected.

The ships capsized in the blink of an eye, and countless human monks fell up and down in the ship with bruises and bruises on their faces. The mermaids attacking from outside the ship did not suffer much damage because of the sea water's force dissipation.

But those Jindan stage ancestors were seriously injured in the explosion. The key point was that many of them were covered with colored spots that could not be shaken off, as if they were deeply rooted in their bodies like spirits.

Then, these people were horrified to find that the colorful spots of light absorbed their own blood and essence, and in the blink of an eye, they grew bigger and bigger, and turned into colorful scales exactly the same as those of the mermaids!

It turns out that the sacred object of the mermaids has the special function of assimilating other species to become closer to the mermaids!

Even a Jindan Zhenren would be hit and transformed if he didn't dodge accidentally.

None of these ancestors wanted to become mermaids. Once they became aliens, where would they find a place among humans? This kind of racial pollution was no joke!
It is really unbelievable that such a small group of mermaids could have such a deadly weapon as racial pollution.

Perhaps, this ethnic group had some glorious history in ancient times that is unknown to the outside world.

But who knows why such a population would drift to a place like the stormy waters of the East China Sea after so many twists and turns, and decline into its current state?
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. It can be seen from the sacred objects and bloodline powers that this time they have hit a wall and have capsized.

Each of these leaders had the idea of ​​retreating and escaping, mainly to go back and heal their wounds and expel the pollution.

If you delay for too long or take a few steps late, and it becomes completely irreversible, it will be too late to regret.

However, the chief elder of the mermaid tribe sneered at this time, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"We have been acting for so long just to lure all of you down here and catch you all in one fell swoop. How could we possibly let you leave alive?"

"From now on, the Stormy Sea will still be ruled by the mermaids!"

“Humans, sink to the bottom of the sea obediently, dance with the fish, keep company with the corals, and sleep forever!”
