Chapter 45 Expansion, Shadow Soldiers
The battle between the ghost tiger and the human-faced demon spider continued. The shadow soldier Fang lay in the bushes, staring at the two soul beasts in front of him with a pair of empty eyes like black holes. As the most loyal soldier of the king, finding suitable soldiers for the king is the most important thing for him at this stage. Therefore, Fang set his target on the ghost tiger and the human-faced demon spider, and he himself waited with the mentality of a mantis catching a cicada and a yellow bird behind.
After Cheng Xiao discovered the two soul beasts, he quickly came to their vicinity. With the protection of the night, the two fighting soul beasts did not notice that there were two deep eyes staring at them on the tree trunks and bushes not far away from them.
"With the addition of the ghost tiger of nearly ten thousand years and the human-faced demon spider of more than five thousand years of cultivation, the power of my shadow army has also expanded a bit." Looking at the two soul beasts fighting desperately below, Cheng Xiao licked his lips and said.
As they were talking, the battle between the two soul beasts was coming to an end. The ghost tiger let out an angry roar, and then it suddenly moved. Its extremely fast speed turned it into a black stream of light, and in the blink of an eye it had already pounced on the human-faced demon spider.
The ghost tiger is a sensitive attack soul beast, and its speed is very fast. Even if it was injured and poisoned by the human-faced demon spider's neurotoxin, it did not affect its speed much. It pounced out, leaving the same black shadow in the original place.
Before the human-faced demon spider could react, the ghost tiger had already pounced on it, and its sharp claws easily tore open the human-faced demon spider's shell, and large pieces of flesh and blood leaked out.
The ghost tiger didn't care about anything, and opened its bloody mouth and began to bite, swallowing large pieces of flesh and blood into its stomach, as if it was the evil killer at this moment.
However, the human-faced demon spider did not sit still and wait for death. Its remaining six spider legs moved, and its huge body began to twist wildly.
The weak plants were corroded in an instant, and even the thick trees were immediately broken by its body. Within a radius of dozens of square meters, it was a mess, and no plant could remain intact.
Unfortunately, no matter how the human-faced demon spider tumbled, the ghost tiger on it would not go down, and still gnawed the flesh and blood of the human-faced demon spider.
As the human-faced demon spider tumbled smaller and smaller, the hard shell on its body was covered with a layer of blue-purple brilliance, and purple-black liquid continued to flow out from the part where the ghost tiger gnawed, and it was obvious that it would not survive.
Seeing that the two soul beasts were both injured, the shadow soldier Fangs lurking in the bushes suddenly jumped out and rushed straight to the ghost tiger standing on the human-faced demon spider.
Although the cultivation of Fangs and Ghost Tiger is far apart, Ghost Tiger is now at the end of its strength. It has just experienced a great battle and has no extra energy to fight a second battle, even though this soul beast that suddenly appeared is only a soul beast less than a thousand years old.
However, after all, it is a soul beast that is about to enter the ranks of ten thousand years. Although it was poisoned by the neurotoxin of the human-faced demon spider, it still tried its best to avoid the sudden attack of the shadow soldier Fangs. The ghost tiger's eyes flashed red, and its four limbs exerted force at the same time, suddenly moving sideways to a big tree, and then using the trunk as a springboard, trying to jump to the ground.
But it didn't know that just above the big tree, a young man holding a dagger in both hands was staring at it.
Seeing that the ghost tiger personally sent the opportunity over, Cheng Xiao grinned, the shadow power in his body was running, and the black mist flowed out along his arms, wrapping the two daggers held in both hands. In an instant, thick black mist swirled around the blades of the two daggers.
The next second, Cheng Xiao jumped down from the tree trunk, and the short swords held in both hands burst into black light. With the sound of "Puchi", the two short swords pierced into the ghost tiger's head without any hindrance.
Snap--
After being pierced through the head, the ghost tiger's body softened instantly. Cheng Xiao stepped on its back and fell vertically to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
All this happened very suddenly, and the ghost tiger didn't even react before its head was pierced.
A moment later, a nearly black thousand-year soul ring gradually took shape, and a purple thousand-year soul ring also appeared on the body of the human-faced demon spider.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Cheng Xiao smiled with satisfaction, and then pulled out the dagger that was inserted into the ghost tiger's head, shook off the blood on it, and said with a smile: "With their joining, the combat power of the shadow soldiers will also increase a lot."
While speaking, Cheng Xiao came to the corpses of the two soul beasts, without any hesitation, stretched out his palm, and black mist burst out from his body, and a dark purple light lit up in the depths of his eyes, "Stand up!"
"Uh ah ah ah..."
Heavy wails came from the two soul beasts, and black smoke emanated from their eyes. With the long wails, their shadows gradually took shape, which were the dead human-faced demon spiders and ghost tigers.
Unlike when they were alive, after the human-faced demon spiders and ghost tigers were summoned, a layer of black mist appeared on their bodies, just like armor. Compared with their appearance when they were alive, they are now more terrifying and trembling.
"Not bad." Cheng Xiao raised a curve at the corner of his mouth, and was happy about the human-faced demon spiders and ghost tigers who had just joined the shadow army.
In fact, this was the first time that Cheng Xiao used the ability of shadow extraction to transform two soul beasts into shadow soldiers. The appearance of the fangs was not summoned by him personally. Strictly speaking, the shadows of the fangs were collected by the king, so after Cheng Xiao's soul power was cultivated to level 30, the fangs appeared automatically.
Looking at the king standing in front of them, the ghost tiger and the human-faced demon spider looked at each other and immediately made a respectful gesture. As soul beasts, they could not bow like humans, but this did not prevent them from lying down to show respect for the king.
At the same time, on the other side of the forest.
A young man and two old men entered the mixed area of the Xingdou Great Forest. They looked rich or noble. The young man walking in front of the two old men looked about 20 years old, handsome, wearing a robe embroidered with golden swans, and his short golden hair looked clean and tidy, giving people a gentle feeling.
The two old men behind him, one of them was about two meters tall, with a slender body like a telephone pole, and a golden spear in his hand.
The other old man had short, neat red hair, an extremely strong body, very sturdy upper and lower limbs, and red spikes protruding from his body. He had an average appearance, one could even say he was a little ugly.
