Chapter 271 Soul Card Fusion
During their exploration, Mo Ming didn't forget to check the two people's spatial containers.
Li Hao's spatial backpack didn't contain many items; the only valuable things were some healing medicines, a few pieces of weaponry and equipment, and a strange herb.
【Biluo: Crimson Purple Grade】
Description: It has mild medicinal properties and is the main ingredient for refining Jade Elixir.
Biluo? Biyudan? This is the first time I've heard of it. I'll keep it for now and let Duoduo study it when I get back.
It seems that when people come out to explore, they don't put anything else in their space containers except for essential items like medicine and combat supplies.
Firstly, it takes up space, and secondly, it's risky to have it taken away, which would be a loss.
Anyway, that's what Mo Ming thinks.
Then look at Wanbaode's spatial ring, wow! Good heavens, all the good stuff is here!
The first thing that caught my eye was the crossbow that Mo Ming found extremely appealing.
[Shadow Chaser Purple Gold Crossbow: Radiant Orange Grade]
Description: Soul-trapping and life-locking, with no way to escape underground!
Characteristic (Explosive Golden Arrow): Condenses spiritual power to forge a golden arrow; wherever the arrowhead goes, it triggers an explosion of spiritual power, shaking the four directions.
Characteristic (Shadow-Chasing Silver Arrow): Condenses spiritual power to forge a silver arrow; wherever the arrowhead pursues, there is nowhere to hide.
Characteristic (Rapid Fire): Gathers spiritual power to condense ten thousand arrows into one, and then disperses the ten thousand arrows into the air.
Good stuff. This is the first orange-grade weapon or equipment that Mo Ming has obtained, aside from bronze artifacts.
Moreover, it's a ranged weapon, eliminating the need for the bow's wind-up animation, so it can be used like a pistol or even an RPG here.
The only drawback is that it requires a charging time, but with the firepower cover of the Bronze Demon-Suppressing Sword and the Bronze Six-Sided Seal, this time is not a big deal.
It's a pity that the demonic puppet was melted by the Purgatory until not even a trace remained.
Otherwise, Mo Ming would have been much safer on this trip to the secret realm.
The equipment traits Purgatory, Abyss, and Ten Thousand Poisons are now on cooldown.
Purgatory will take a while longer, but Abyss and Ten Thousand Poison Swamp will be back to normal in another hour or so.
During this period, the Shadow Chasing Purple Gold Crossbow was used as a supplement to firepower, so the combat effectiveness was not weakened.
Most importantly, none of the three characteristics of this Shadow Chasing Purple Gold Crossbow have a cooldown period. As long as there is enough spiritual energy to fully charge it up, it can fire a crossbow bolt.
Besides this equipment, Mo Ming also found three crimson-purple level weapons, two green snails, a bunch of healing medicines, and a... soul card in his spatial ring?
[Riddle Flower Fairy Soul Card ?6?1 Wood: Deep Blue Level]
Description: When a monster dies in the exchange secret realm, there is a chance to condense a Soul Card, which contains part of the monster's attribute energy and soul power.
Another Soul Card of the Riddle Flower Fairy. Mo Ming took out his own card, holding one in each hand and comparing them. Apart from his own card being slightly darker in color, he couldn't see any other differences.
It seems that riddle flowers are quite common on this grassland, but I wonder what the purpose of this soul card is.
Mo Ming casually placed the Soul Card together with the previous one, preparing to throw it into his spatial ring.
Unexpectedly, a strange change occurred.
The moment the two soul cards came into contact, a great light shone, and Wan Baode's card slowly merged into his own.
A moment later, the fusion was complete, and the cyan-green color on the entire Soul Card became even deeper, but no change was reflected in the information.
Mo Ming tried to absorb it again, but it still didn't work.
However, he also noticed something. "Since these soul cards can absorb each other, if I get more soul cards and it absorbs enough, will there be a qualitative change, such as... advancing in rank?"
Furthermore, the triggering condition for absorption seems to be simply mutual contact, with the intensity of the color representing its strength?
Having made up his mind, Mo Ming stopped rushing on his journey and temporarily put aside his murderous intent towards Xu Hai, focusing all his efforts on finding monsters like the Riddle Flower.
Previously, he only wanted to avoid monsters when searching for resources, but now he accepts anything that comes his way, the more the better.
……
"Report! General Yan, Elder Wu, the Soul Forging Seal Control Center has transmitted two video messages." A man dressed in blue camouflage hurriedly pushed open the conference room door.
Upon hearing this, both Elder Wu and General Yan paused slightly. Two people had died so quickly?
"Name?" General Yan asked coldly, his face grim.
"Reporting to General Yan, it is Wan Baode from the Eighth Outer District and Li Hao from the Seventh Outer District."
Old Wu pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice, "Project the image onto the wall, and General Yan, take a look together!"
"Yes!"
Each video clip is only a dozen seconds long, recording only the faces of the victims and the killers, as well as their relative positions at the last moment, without any sound being emitted.
"You can go down now. After the secret realm ends, send the footage to their captain."
"Yes! I am resigning."
After the soldiers left, Old Wu put his hands behind his back and looked at General Yan, "Chengwu, did you figure out what was going on?"
"Li Hao's death was nothing special, but Wan Baode's body really looked like it had been burned by a fire, with not a single part intact."
The killer either possessed equipment or tools capable of controlling fire, or…
At this point, Yan Chengwu's eyes turned cold, and he stopped talking.
"Either they are at the Radiant Orange level, and their control over fire-attribute spiritual power has reached a very high level."
Seeing that Yan Chengwu remained silent, Old Wu slowly added to the story.
"Judging from his sword-wielding movements, he is also quite skilled in swordsmanship. With a light swing of his heavy sword, he can kill someone in one strike."
I'll have someone investigate to see if anyone in the main city knows this person.
"No matter who he is, do you think you can just kill members of my main city's guard at will?"
After saying that, Yan Chengwu pushed open the door and left the conference room.
"Sigh!" Old Wu sighed deeply, shook his head, and a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes.
"Chengwu, Chengwu, you... are not as good as Ye Ming!"
……
In the following days, Mo Ming kept searching for and killing monsters, but not every monster would drop a soul card after it died; the probability of getting a card was really low.
Mo Ming killed ten berserk Riddle Flower Fairy plants and seven Bamboo Vipers before obtaining two Deep Blue-level Riddle Flower Fairy Soul Cards and one...
All Bamboo Leaf Green Soul Cards are of the Wood attribute.
When fusing Soul Cards, Mo Ming discovered another characteristic of Soul Card fusion.
When the Riddle Flower Fairy Soul Card and the Bamboo Leaf Green Soul Card touch, the Riddle Flower Fairy Soul Card is fused with the Bamboo Leaf Green Soul Card, and the color of the Bamboo Leaf Green Soul Card deepens, but the information remains unchanged.
When Mo Ming touched the enhanced Bamboo Leaf Green Soul Card with the previous Riddle Flower Demon Soul Card, the Bamboo Leaf Green Soul Card was absorbed by the Riddle Flower Demon Soul Card instead.
It seems that as long as the soul cards are of the same attribute, even if they are of different types, they can be fused together.
After Mo Ming fused with the last Riddle Flower Demon Soul Card, the Riddle Flower Demon Soul Card finally underwent a delightful change.
[Riddle Flower Fairy Soul Card ?6?1 Wood: Crimson Purple Grade]
We've advanced!
Mo Ming beamed with joy. It seemed his guess was right; he really could advance.
However, he still couldn't absorb it, which annoyed Mo Ming.
I went through all that trouble to promote you, so you should at least give me something in return!
Time slipped away unnoticed, and the sky gradually darkened. Mo Ming found a big tree and climbed up it. He dared not spend the night on the ground; it wouldn't be worth getting bitten by a poisonous snake.
Just as we were about to rest, "Boom!"
Shocked by the explosion, Mo Ming looked up in the direction of the sound and then widened his eyes as if he had seen something terrifying.
Oh my god!
