Soul Trigger

Chapter 180: Cage (I)

At the moment when the Soul Mach ended, Luo Hu's body instantly escaped and reassembled not far away, with a look of shock on his beastly face:

"Sixth-level master?!"

"It's only been less than a month...?! How did you get so much stronger?!"

The scene of the special investigation department's entrance examination was still vivid in their minds. Even if the opponent had chased the four of them alone, he definitely didn't have such terrifying strength!

His thoughts were fleeting, and then a punch was rapidly magnified in his reassembled physical vision, and Luo Hu's newly assembled head also disappeared in a flash:

"Where's the girl with the shadow powers? Where's the 'witness'?"

"Don't even think about it..."

boom! ! ! !

Before the reassembled head could finish its words, Ji Li pierced it to the ground.

Mud and violent spiritual essence rushed into the sky, and the body that had rotted away and was slowly recovering was picked up by Ji Li again:
"Where is that girl?"

"Hahahaha!!! Are you panicking? That woman has been turned into a puppet by the magic mirror..."

Before he finished speaking, the silver body was instantly torn in half. Luo Hu only heard the voice of Chaos the Desperate in the vibration of the air:

"Little guy, there will be no good consequences if you anger me."

He had just recondensed his body and was about to make a sarcastic remark, but he saw the Desperate Man suddenly open his huge mouth, and violent black spiritual fire gushed out and covered him completely!

In an instant, Luo Hu felt his body hardening at a high speed and becoming icy cold. The terrifying spiritual fire was penetrating his body in every way, freezing him completely.
"Damn..."

Amid the dark flames that filled his vision, he suddenly vomited a silver bottle-shaped object from his mouth.

The moment it suddenly opened, a flash of red light burst out and penetrated into Ji Li's mind, and the terrifying sea of ​​fire suddenly stagnated -

Luo Hu breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Ji Li just shook his head slightly, and when he opened his mouth, a violent spiritual essence gushed out like a laser, enveloping him -

"Useless?!"

How high is his resistance? !
Luo Hu suddenly panicked, gritted his teeth and twisted the bottle in his hand.

It was as if something was being pulled away from his body, and amid his heart-wrenching screams, the violent spiritual bombardment was actually completely absorbed into the bottle.

Just when Ji Li realized the weirdness of the thing and closed his mouth, Luo Hu suddenly closed the jar and opened it again with gritted teeth:

"Give me a good taste of your own spiritual essence..."

The same spiritual impact as before instantly hit Ji Li, pushing his body violently into the withered woods.

In an instant, large tracts of forest fell down, and Ji Li's body and exploding spiritual essence created a deep gully, which spread rapidly towards the distance.

The soil was flying, and cold air was bursting into the sky. Countless fallen trees were frozen in an instant and shattered into black fragments all over the ground.

It was not until a long while later that the terrible impact finally ended. Luo Hu half-knelt on the ground as if he had run out of energy. He looked at the horrifying scene in front of him, and his soul triggered wildly:

Peak of the sixth level...

In such a short period of time, he had actually reached the peak of the sixth level, and was only one step away from becoming a peak master...

How could such a monster exist in the world... Is this the potential of a Splinter?!
He gritted his teeth and threw all the distracting thoughts out of his mind. After standing up again, he opened his mouth and swallowed the silver bottle.

Then the silver throat began to move up and down, as if it was about to spit out something again.

But the next moment, he felt his scalp tingling, and his soul trigger issued a fatal warning, shaking his soul core wildly.

Thousands of hyphae suddenly erupted from all directions, and with the deadly sound of the biological matter simulated by the spiritual essence entangled with each other, they spread from all directions and wrapped around him.

Luo Hu didn't dare to confront them head-on, so he stepped on the ground and fled towards the gaps between the hyphae.

But at some point the ground was already covered with a strange grey fungal carpet, sprouting more grey tentacles.

The gaps between the hyphae were also shrinking rapidly. He had no way to escape in an instant and could only grit his teeth and release all the spiritual energy in his body.

The silvery-white fluid human figure suddenly exploded and spread in all directions. The roots of the fluid turned into sharp blades, as if trying to cut all the hyphae.

But the rising cold air burst out from the entire mycelium killing array, instantly making Luo Hu's whole body become extremely slow.

He felt like he had entered a cold storage, and his fluid body was being frozen and hardened at a high speed, about to turn into an ice sculpture!
It's over!

A hint of determination flashed across Luo Hu's silver eyes, and he roared:
"Fluid qualitative change!"

Then the jar emerged from his extremely expanded fluid body and turned upside down where his head should have been.

Immediately afterwards, spiritual essences of various colors flowed out of the jar and spread to his entire body.

Fire, ice, poison, physical strengthening...

His evil spirit body showed ten different spiritual characteristics as it absorbed various spiritual essences.

Among them actually was Ji Li’s spiritual fire, but it was still in the previous blue spiritual fire state.

The sudden burst of spiritual essence finally allowed him to adapt to the extremely low temperature in the air. A burst of spiritual essence of different colors exploded with him as the center, blasting all the gray mycelium around him apart.

Luo Hu heaved a sigh of relief:

"Thanks to the Soul Devouring Pot, otherwise..." "Otherwise what?"

A voice that terrified him came from behind him. Before he could turn around, he was wrapped up by countless hyphae. Then his eyes blurred and he was caught in the biomass claws of the Desperate One.

Ji Li's body was completely unharmed, and the surface of his body was constantly changing with the highly active spiritual essence, in the biomass shell and in the active hyphae, and the hideous bone spurs were raised high:

"Soul Devouring Pot...it turns out that the black ice that killed the third mayor was made by you...that makes sense."

"Did you secretly suck it away during the employment assessment?"

Luo Hu struggled frantically, and spiritual essences of various colors burst out automatically and bombarded Ji Li's body.

But no matter whether it was fire or ice, or a piercing physical attack, the mycelium on Ji Li's body simply hardened and turned black to meet the attack.

In an instant, it turned into thick, reflective armor that blocked it all, not even a tickle.

Luo Hu became more and more desperate as he fought, his voice filled with horror:

“…You monster!”

Ji Li didn't bother to pay attention to the child's struggle, and continued to talk while holding him:

"You are being controlled by the mind. You are just pretending."

"You are also responsible for the rampage of the others, or they are all your accomplices..."

"Of course none of this matters. The Third Mayor is dead, and you were also responsible for the Parade Day incident..."

Immediately, another sharp claw grabbed the silver bottle on its head:
"You are the one who framed me..."

Feeling the strong murderous intent coming from the other party, Luo Hu finally gave up struggling and shouted loudly:

"Mr. Magic Mirror, save me!!!"

A mirror-like luster flashed across Luo Hu's body, and half a mirror fragment burst out, illuminating the entire scene. A strong sense of detachment was pulled from it -

"Save your mother."

A layer of gray mist also burst out from Ji Li's body, instantly covering Luo Hu's body.

As the light and shadows changed, the gray fog grew and spread throughout the withered forest. In an instant, it spread throughout the forest.

When Ji Li saw the effect of the "thermos cup" in Luo Hu's hand, he had already reacted.

Why was the third mayor killed by black ice?

The black ice did not come from Qin's Silk Screen Club, but from Luo Hu.

Luo Hu's location at that time was at the third mayor's pilgrimage site.

No matter how he behaved when he caused the chaos, it could only point to one outcome—

Acting school.

Whether it is the abnormalities on the eve of the pilgrimage day or the behavior that caused chaos on the pilgrimage day, the problem can be blamed on the motorcycle monster that is suspected of causing mass hysteria.

As for how he collected Ji Li's black ice, the answer was on the Special Investigation Department's induction day, when he and Ji Li had a round of combat test. That was the perfect time.

Then it all makes sense.

A thick dark grey fog filled the air, engulfing Ji Li and Luo Hu.

When Luo Hu came to his senses, he noticed bursts of cheers coming from all around.

He looked around in horror and saw black spirits with red eyes waving their arms and shouting, clapping their hands excitedly.

He had somehow regained his human form and appeared in an octagonal cage made of scrap metal:

"The octagonal cage of the old world?!"

"You should have a lot of interesting information... just tell me everything right here."

A cold voice came from behind him. He turned around suddenly and saw Ji Li's figure appear opposite him, also in human form.

Luo Hu was about to transform into a demon, but he felt a terrible force exerted on him, and the soul trigger kept conveying fatal messages:
"For the sake of fairness, methods such as 'reality interference' are prohibited here."

Reality interference refers to the prohibition of the release of spiritual essence, including but not limited to the evil spiritization that changes one's own life form, and spiritual essence attacks that are released from the body and wrap around the body.

Damn guy...

He gritted his teeth suddenly, and was forced to retract the silver spirit in his hand, but a sharp light radiated from his eyes:
"You want to fight me, huh..."

Then a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"...I admit that you are strong, but your intelligence gathering is too poor."

As the referee bell rang, he stepped forward and rushed out first with some agile steps:
"Do you think you can humiliate me with this forbidden item? I was rescued from an underground black boxing ring by the magic mirror!!!"

Then he only saw Ji Li's figure flash by, and a sense of alarm suddenly rose in his heart. Before he could react, the world was spinning in front of his eyes.

With a heavy blow to the back of the head, the whole person was knocked to the ground, followed by a sharp pain in the abdomen, and a heavy kick sent him flying to the edge of the octagonal cage.
