King of beasts

On the outskirts of Ming'an City, after being shocked by Lu Ran's "great ideal", Heiyu chose to come with Lu Ran.

It was dark, and a fat, cat-like mouse was gnawing on something in the weeds. Lu Ran and Hei Yu, dressed in black robes, stood in the distance. Lu Ran obviously regarded this guy as a

Name: rat beast

Attribute: Wei Awakening

Racial Level: Low Extraordinary

Growth level: Level 3

Well, he was so weak that Lu Ran didn't even bother to summon Mr. Ha to deal with this kind of guy. After estimating the distance and calculating the strength, Lu Ran directly picked up a stone and threw it with a bang. Under the stunned gaze of Black Feather next to him, the rock accurately hit the rat beast, knocking it unconscious. Lu Ran could only say that he was merciful if he didn't use the Crow Feather Bow.

"Let's go!"

At Lu Ran's greeting, Heiyu quickly followed. Soon Lu Ran came to the rat beast that was knocked unconscious. He took out the soul-suppressing brick and slapped it on the rat beast, and a ball of gray soul was smashed out. . Because the rat beast's consciousness had fainted, the soul body was also confused and unclear at this time. Seeing this, Kuroyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "How do you want to cook?"

"I have mastered a special beast-controlling skill. Let's try grilling souls first."

Lu Ran stretched out his finger and lit a flame. There are too many beast control skills that allow beast masters to master special abilities. Many cooks can control flames themselves. Kuroyu didn't think much of it when he saw it. After all, Lu Ran had already revealed his identity as a chef just now. However, Lu Ran encountered a difficulty next.

Yanling couldn't play a supporting role, so Lu Ran could only rely on experience. He controlled the heat to the lowest level and started to roast his soul, but the outcome could be imagined. How could the soul be roasted like ordinary food? Even though Lu Ran's flame was extremely weak, the rat beast's soul was even more fragile. It was burned into white smoke by the flames in an instant, and the soul was wiped out/disappeared into smoke. The mouse's body also fell into a coma and became more peaceful, as if it would never wake up.

"..."

"It seems difficult." Lu Ran turned to look at Heiyu.

"……"Black Feather

"I thought this idea was too whimsical just now." Heiyu said: "Maybe the starting point is good, but the problem that so many big figures in the divine sect, even the legendary necromancers, have not been able to solve, is it for us... …”

"This is the beginning, don't panic." Lu Ran said, then fell into deep thought.

"Let's try other cooking methods..." At present, there were only the most rats in other Ming'an cities, so Lu Ran's hunting target decisively chose the giant rat beast. Next, Lu Ran tried boiling souls and steaming souls under the witness of Hei Yu...

But without exception, the fragile souls were instantly shattered.

"It's too weak, its soul is too fragile, and they can't accept slightly more violent cooking methods."

"There are no powerful souls near the key that can be used for experiments."

With Heiyu's silent following, Lu Ran finally found a cooking method that was not so easy for his soul to collapse. He made a half-cooked smoked rat spirit by lighting fresh wood to remove the fishy smell. The wood smoke was indeed inhaled by the rat spirit. Before anything happened to the soul, Lu Ran quickly asked Heiyu to try it.

Black Feather also helplessly summoned his pet beast - a dead fox spirit. The little fox happily ate the rat spirit, but after eating it, Black Feather shook his head and said: "It's no different from swallowing souls in the past."

"My pet beast can also feel the residue of consciousness in the soul during the process of devouring the soul."

"What about the taste?" Lu Ran asked.

"Ugh~" The dead fox shook his head. It doesn't taste good. It doesn't taste good. It tastes better if you don't eat the soul directly.

"That means the taste of smoked undead has indeed changed, but the seasoning of fresh wood cannot remove soul impurities and is not suitable for undead." Lu Ran was very happy to get this point of view. This at least shows that the taste of the soul can change. Now that the taste has changed, as long as you find a special seasoning, you might be able to purify your soul of impurities.

"Okay, Miss Heiyu, thank you very much. That's it for today." Lu Ran said.

"Okay." Heiyu nodded. Although he hoped that Lu Ran could succeed, he also felt that he had little hope of success. (っ◔◡◔)っHowever, Lu Ran is really serious...

He was slightly silent as he watched Lu Ran carrying a bag of unconscious giant rat beasts. Later, if Master Gao Li asks me, how will I answer? She felt that even Missionary Gaoli would think Lu Ran was crazy.

In the other courtyard, Lu Ran continued to indulge in cooking rat spirits after returning. After coming back, Lu Ran did more sexy things. For example, he wanted to dissect a rat spirit and divide it into several pieces to study its structure. But it's a pity that the soul is gone after just a slight movement. It cannot be dissected at all. The soul is mixed with the life consciousness of the living body, which can also be said to be the soul memory. This is what the so-called soul search in fairy novels should search for. The soul is essentially a body of energy, which is the necessary nutrient for the undead beast to maintain its life. The soul is poisonous, and the only thing that is harmful is the consciousness contained in the soul. The gathering of these consciousnesses will cause the consciousness of undead pets and necromancers to be contaminated, lose their minds, and fall into madness.

It is possible to use seasonings to remove the fishy smell and purify the soul consciousness from the soul one by one, but it is too difficult. No less than creating a new recipe. Even if I have all the ingredients from the Star-Moon Continent in front of me now, I don’t know what year it will take me to experiment with the right combination. I can just let it happen and I can’t force it.

But besides that, it stands to reason that there should be a way to remove impurities from the soul. If you think of the soul as a food ingredient, and there are unnecessary parts in it, then just cut it off simply and roughly. But ordinary extraordinary kitchen utensils have no ability to cut souls.

Lu Ran fell into deep thought as he watched the rat spirit, which was shaken out of his wits at the touch of his own kitchen knife. Using ordinary kitchen utensils will directly pass through the spirit body and cause no harm. Using extraordinary kitchen utensils will deform the spirit body upon contact and the soul will collapse, but it cannot be cut. Ordinary extraordinary kitchen utensils should be used, as they do not have the property of cutting souls, but if special kitchen utensils forged from soul-like ores are used, is there any hope of cutting spiritual bodies?

Lu Ran looked at the soul-soothing stone again and wondered, could this thing be forged into a sword? No matter what, I have to find a way to find a few more pieces in the secret realm this time. He needs a Zanpakutō, a sword that can slice through souls smoothly.

However, let’s not talk about whether I can forge a Zanpakutō. Even with the Zanpakutō Qi Shi Lu Ran, he didn’t tell me that I would definitely be able to separate the spirit body and consciousness with the skill of the sword. This thing is too abstract. Even if Yan Sizhen is reincarnated, he will probably have to figure out Lu Ran's problem. This probably requires a strong understanding and knowledge of the soul.

Soul-like sword intent. To achieve this step, I need soul-like sword intent. If you master the soul-like sword intent, you may be able to directly use the weapon to cause cutting-like damage to the spirit body even without a Zanpakutō. Soon, Lu Ran, who was researching, thought of a new idea.

But there's still that problem, soul-like sword intent... this special ability is extremely abstract. For this research direction, Lu Ran chose to kick the ball.

"Mr. Ha, don't you think you're pretty powerful? Let's play with the soul stone and share the mice with you. Go and comprehend a Zanpakujian Intent and remember not to eat the mice."

Next, Mr. Ha was summoned over by Lu Ran with a confused look on his face. In response to the shameless Mr. Lu, it squealed a few times at first, but Mr. Ha was still very interested in the soul stone and the soul body, so he immediately went to play with it. Of course, Lu Ran didn't expect Ha Zong to succeed. If Mr. Ha has integrated the trait of awakening, and if Mr. Ha is a necromantic beast, then Lu Ran might have some hope, but for now, he can only let it get familiar with it first.

Lu Ran also understood that he would definitely not be able to solve the shortcomings of the necromancy system in a short time. This was a long-term task.

"Huh?" However, Lu Ran, who had just blasted Mr. Ha away, unexpectedly thought of another idea that might cut apart his soul and consciousness.

"Am I really a genius?" Lu Ran took the sword grass out of the sword pot from his backpack. He looked at the sword grass and fell into deep thought. By the way, does Jiancao have a soul? If there is a soul, whether consciously or unconsciously, is it possible to directly shoot a soul sword grass by tapping it with a soul stone? Isn't this a natural Zanpakutō?

"Woof woof woof..."

The next moment, Lu Ran snatched Mr. Ha's soul stone again, and under Mr. Ha's shocked eyes, he patted Mr. Ha's beloved weapon with a stone. As a result, it was naturally not as easy as Lu Ran thought. Sword grass that has not become an extraordinary life is no different from ordinary plants. Perhaps after becoming an extraordinary being, the sword grass has a chance to turn into a necrotic plant, but the sword grass in its current state still does not have a soul.

All methods failed. Lu Ran's chest felt tight and he tried cutting the sword grass directly, but it didn't work either. It's so difficult... No wonder so many beastmasters on the other side of the Death Cult can't solve this problem. Lu Ran had a headache. Currently, the closest direction for him is to comprehend the soul-like sword intent.

Lu Ran chose to lead Mr. Ha to study the Zanpaku Sword Intent. As for the breakthrough mission, Lu Ran was not in a hurry. His mission was to defend the city. Even if all the members of the Death Cult were defeated, as long as he defended it alone and killed the enemy, then It is also a victory, and the siege party should be anxious.

He doesn't have any information about the opponent, so he can't smear him and go out to attack the opponent alone! Even if you want to fight, you have to wait for the opponent to show his head a little before going up. In order to complete the task, the opponent cannot keep his head hidden all the time. At this time, Lu Ran understood more about the preciousness of the Evil God's Eyes. If this person has already contracted with the Crow Chief, and it has mastered all the curses of the enemy camp and died suddenly, then it still needs to be so passive.

At this time, Heiyu was summoned back by Missionary Gaoli and asked about Lu Ran's situation.

"What?"

"Barbecue soul? Steamed soul? Boiled soul? Smoked soul?" Missionary Gaoli looked shocked. He was a veteran necromancer who couldn't live without souls for three meals. At this moment, he felt a stomachache when he heard Kuroyu's report. , I just feel perverted! But then he smiled and said, "Forget it, let him go. This time he found a treasure."

Now that he saw that the King of Death was keen on studying the necromancy system and wanted to help necromancers eliminate their shortcomings, Gao Li was excited. It was common for missionaries to find a new person with excellent talent. But finding a newcomer who is not only extremely talented, but also has such great ideals is as difficult as going to heaven.

He felt that Lu Ran's situation was known to the headquarters. Not to mention being trained as a saint child, he would definitely be trained as a key member and become a core member. Of course, if Lu Ran really got lucky and found out, it would be a matter in another dimension. I am afraid that a group of gods and envoys would surround the King of Death as the successor of the leader. Gao Li smiled sarcastically, and felt that he was whimsical. ,How can this be!

"Keep looking after him"

"Yes" Black Feather nodded, and she was satisfied when she saw the shocked expression of the missionary. Sure enough, the veteran necromancers also felt that this sudden death king was too crazy.

On the other side, nine trialists from Blue Star countries gathered again. The Moonlight Knight in the Golden Age said: "I heard that the one who currently occupies Ming'an City is a necromantic cult missionary named Gao Li. It has three level 30 necromantic pet beasts. They are all leaders of the race, and they are just two. Super Necromancer."

"He should be the strongest enemy in Ming'an City. Although he has many people, there are not many powerful people. If we can persuade the imperial army to join the attack with us, it should not be difficult to capture Ming'an City."
