Chapter 240 - The Bloodseeker Beasts Have Disappeared? (2)
Chapter 240 The Bloodseeker Beasts Have Disappeared? (2)
A thousand Bloodseeker Beasts sounded like a lot, but when scattered in the huge valley, they were inconspicuous.
In Su Jingxing’s field of vision, he only saw seven Bloodseeker Beasts, lying under trees and in the pits in twos.
Without the stimulation of blood energy, the Bloodseeker Beasts were actually very lazy.
This was good news for Su Jingxing.
After scanning his surroundings with his perception and confirming that no one was coming, Su Jingxing began to search for the “entrance” of the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array according to the successfully deduced Record of Array-Breaking Diagrams.
This “entrance” was not a real door, but a circulation route.
In a situation where one could not crack the array formation or forcefully break it, only by finding the route could one figure out the path and finally enter the array formation.
Throughout the entire process, relying on the successfully deduced Record of Array-Breaking Diagrams, Su Jingxing only took half an hour to successfully enter the “entrance.”
If there were outsiders present, they would have seen Su Jingxing take three steps left, four steps right, then jump five steps, and finally disappear!
It was as if he had fallen into the void and vanished!
However, in reality, after Su Jingxing entered the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array according to the Record of Array-Breaking Diagrams, he retreated, moved left, and right according to the routes of the Eight Trigrams Array. When he stopped, that was when he had actually entered the array.
To outsiders, it would seem like Su Jingxing had walked out of thin air.
This was the wonder of array formations.
Without a deep understanding, it was impossible to understand the mysteries within.
Of course, Su Jingxing didn’t learn much from experience either.
This was because he did not know how to set up array formations. All he knew was how to break them…
The Record of Array-Breaking Diagrams was only equivalent to a Master Key. It could unlock tens of thousands of locks.
But he did not know how to create locks!
Opening locks and creating locks were essentially two different matters.
Anyone with a key could do the former.
As such, Su Jingxing did not have any pride or arrogance. After entering the array formation, he calmly moved quickly to avoid being discovered by the people outside the screen.
After finding a spot to hide, he began to search for lone Bloodseeker Beasts.
He spread out his perception and scanned the area to find his target.
It was a Bloodseeker Beast lying in the collapsed hole in the ground.
Su Jingxing released his Blood Doppelganger just in case. Then, his main body and doppelganger dived in at the same time.
Buzz!
Mobilizing 500 years of true energy cultivation, he formed a terrifying pressure that enveloped the Bloodseeker Beasts.
Swish!
Soul power transformed into a blade that attacked the lazy Bloodseeker Beasts from a distance.
Both acts were carried out at the same time. The Bloodseeker Beast didn’t even let out a groan before it lost consciousness.
(Card+1]
The moment the notification flashed, Su Jingxing controlled his true energy to envelop the Bloodseeker Beast that had dispersed into a large mass of Bloodseeker Essence Energy, preventing it from being absorbed by the other Bloodseeker Beasts.
Unexpectedly, at this moment– Whoosh!
Under the guidance of an invisible force, the Bloodseeker Essence Energy trapped in the true energy was absorbed into the Blood Doppelganger’s body!
Tsk!
In his shock, Su Jingxing cursed inwardly.
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
This is it.
The immortal doppelganger that I obtained with great difficulty is actually going to be finished in a day.
Once it absorbs the Bloodseeker Essence Energy, this doppelganger will immediately be corroded and go out of control.
Even if Su Jingxing was indignant, he would have to destroy it. Other… wise…?
“Huh???”
Su Jingxing, who was grumbling inwardly, suddenly froze.
No!
Something is wrong! The Blood Doppelganger wasn’t corroded. After absorbing the Bloodseeker Essence Energy, the terrifying heretic power disappeared before it could erupt.
Mm, to put it accurately, it was dissolved by the Blood Doppelganger!
In the face of the Blood Doppelganger, the heretic power and nature within the Bloodseeker Essence Energy melted away. The Blood Doppelganger could actually dissolve the heretic nature and power…
No!
Not all heretic characteristics and power could be dissolved by the Blood Doppelganger.
Instead, the Blood Doppelganger could only dissolve heretic characteristics and power that had been mixed into blood energy.
The power of blood was the key to the doppelganger.
If the Bloodseeker Essence Energy was changed to Fireseeker Essence Energy or Thunderseeker Essence Energy, the Blood Doppelganger would not be able to dissolve its heretic characteristics and power. Instead, it would be corroded and destroyed by the power of flames and lightning!
Having figured this out, Su Jingxing was both glad and overjoyed.
“Hahaha, since it can absorb the Bloodseeker Essence Energy directly, what else am I afraid of? What else do I have to worry about?
“The one thousand Bloodseeker Beasts here are all energy to become stronger! “And I get two absorptions from each one!”
The first time was a direct absorption from the beast and the second absorption was of the Blood Elemental Essence Energy from the cards extracted.
Great!
I’ve struck gold this time!
Deep breaths, suppressing his excitement.
After a while, Su Jingxing regained his composure. After the Blood Doppelganger finished absorbing the Bloodseeker Essence Energy, he quietly left the hole and continued to search for his second Bloodseeker Beasts.
Although the Blood Doppelganger could dissolve the heretic characteristics and power, there was a limit to its ability to do so.
If there was too much of both, the Blood Doppelganger might end up being too full to dissolve them in time. Instead, it would be corroded, and that would be no fun.
Therefore, to be safe, it was better to deal with one Bloodseeker Beast at a time.
Soon.
The second Bloodseeker Beast was found. Su Jingxing approached it and avoided the attention of the other Bloodseeker Beasts.
Over
He first released his suppression to only cover the Bloodseeker Beast and immobilize it.
Then, he transformed his soul power into a saber and attacked from a distance. He quietly destroyed the beast and extracted a card.
Then, he swiftly moved close and gathered the Blood Doppelganger for the Blood Doppelganger to absorb and dissolve.
Moments later, everything was settled. Su Jingxing left and continued to search for the next lone Bloodseeker Beast.
The third, fourth, fifth…
Soon, more than ten Bloodseeker Beasts were ambushed and killed. The Blood Doppelganger was strengthened.
At this point, Su Jingxing did not continue.
Instead, he came out of the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array and left the periphery of the valley. He found a quiet mountain and sat cross-legged to rest and recover his soul power. He could recover essence energy by consuming Essence Energy Pills.
But not soul power.
Every time it was exhausted, he would have to rest for half a day to recover.
Su Jingxing rested for a day here.
In any case, it was difficult to take action during the day. The surveillance personnel at the periphery of the valley would carry out checks.
At night, when his soul power was fully recovered, he could continue.
So.
30 Bloodseeker Beasts, 50 Bloodseeker Beasts, 100 Bloodseeker Beasts!
200, 300, 500…
During the day, he would rest. At night, he would enter the array formation and launch sneak attacks, ambushes, and assassinations. Over and over again, he would subdue the Bloodseeker Beasts, and absorb them.
As his Blood Doppelganger absorbed more and more power, it became stronger and stronger.
As a result, the true energy in Su Jingxing’s dantian was also rapidly tempered to stimulate an increase in his soul power.
With the increase in his soul power, he could condense it into three blades at a time to kill three Bloodseeker Beasts.
As a result, the speed of his operation increased.
Half of the Bloodseeker Beasts were devoured and disappeared.
Finally, it caught the attention of the Prefecture Army outside the array formation.
“What’s going on? Why are there so few Bloodseeker Beasts? Did they run back to the underground palace?”.
Gu Zhanlin flew in the air and looked down at the valley with a grim expression.
“I’m not sure.”
A middle-aged man beside him looked equally solemn. “Half of the Bloodseeker Beasts are gone. Something must have happened!”
“We don’t know what the problem is, and we can’t investigate it.” Gu Zhanlin was a little frustrated. “If these beasts disappear for no reason, I don’t know how big of a trouble they’ll cause. D*mn it, where did they go?”
“Perhaps they didn’t escape, but returned to the underground palace like you said?” Xiao Yuanfang pondered.
Half of the Flying Lion army had also remained outside the valley and cooperated with the Prefecture Army to guard the array formation.
Xiao Yuanfang was also concerned about the sudden loss of half of the Bloodseeker Beasts.
If such a terrifying Mutated Beast were to escape and enter the city, it would be a disaster.
A catastrophe that no one wanted to see!
Once a catastrophe broke out, who knew how many people would die?
Therefore, they had to get to the bottom of this!
“What should we do? If there’s really no other way, let’s go to Head Mingyue and get her to open the array formation!” Gu Zhanlin said through gritted teeth while feeling conflicted.
“No! Are you crazy?”
