Soul Trigger

Chapter 70 Demonic Shadow
Jin Misha exclaimed softly, took three or two steps forward, felt around and looked, and also probed the space between the ribs of the bone horse.

The bone horse was huge, with two pairs of horns on its head, the same as Ji Li's, and a layer of similar bone armor on its body. There were fluctuations of spiritual essence in its eye sockets, floating and burning like flames.

"But Old Ji..."

"Ok?"

"I guess you'll have to wait until Halloween to ride your horse into the city."

The bunny girl patted the horse's neck and said, "Besides, I don't think you can use it for daily transportation. Can you lend it to me for a few days?"

"Then I'll peel off my neck skin and stick it on you?"

Ji Li turned his neck away. There was a barcode-shaped tattoo that had appeared at some point in time, but it was not as regular as the barcode and had some bumps in shape.

This is the spiritual circuit used to "manufacture" this horse. It is engraved directly on Ji Li's skin as a reward from the Soul Prison on the Death Track.

Therefore, this thing cannot be lent to others, unless reverse engineering is used to reverse the circuit, but this is not just drawing talismans, and it is not a simple technique.

Otherwise, I'll really peel the skin off.

Jin Misha chuckled twice, walked up to Ji Li and put her arms around his neck:

"Then I'm welcome..."

"Go play with your global limited edition electric scooter." Ji Li slapped away the other party's touching claws.

The so-called spiritual circuit is a functional magic pattern engraved with spiritual essence and special materials. It is a special technology that requires a long period of study to master.

Once imprinted on the human body, it can be driven by the host's spiritual essence to enhance the host's own abilities, or add a limited additional ability.

For example, enhancing physical strength, strengthening agility, and increasing the lethality of spiritual essence.

The additional ability is like the "air blast" used by the middle-aged man in the previous racing game.

Artificial psychic props are also made by this technology, such as the voice-transmitting gloves used by the female agents of the Special Management Bureau.

The spiritual circuit that summons this horse was named "Magic Shadow's Hoof" by the slot machine. It can consume a certain amount of spiritual essence and form a warhorse "Magic Shadow" that can be dispatched at will through the spiritual essence circuit.

"Magic Shadow" has certain combat capabilities and two states, one is [camouflage state], the other is [spiritual state].

In the spiritual state, the appearance of the "Magic Shadow" will change accordingly according to the spiritual essence of the circuit host, so it will be a bone horse. If Ji Li used the cold spiritual essence in the Frost Scar, this thing might be an "Ice Horse" with the appearance of black ice.

As Ji Li's spiritual essence circulated, the spiritual essence circuit on its neck lit up slightly, and the horse gradually entered a [camouflage state]. A layer of skin covered its body, and it was completely black, with long mane hanging down. After snorting, it paced in place.

Jin Misha was obviously very excited and insisted that Ji Li take her for a ride.

"Your car has fallen apart once, but your butt hasn't fallen apart yet?"

"Huh, do you think everyone is as skinny as you?"

Jin Misa lifted her sleeves to reveal her snow-white arms, revealing the slight healthy muscle curves and patted them:
"My butt is definitely firmer than yours!"

"I don't believe it. Let me touch it and try..."

"Shrimp-headed man!"

Misa screamed and jumped out.

After the two of them rode on the "Magic Shadow", they rushed out on the road. Bunny Girl screamed and almost fell off, but was pulled back by Ji Li:
"Hold on tight. Even though this thing is controlled by spiritual essence, it is still a horse. Sitting on it is different from riding on a car."

Jin Misha was shocked: "Old Ji, you can ride a horse? When did you learn it?!"

"I learned it in my dream. Come to the front."

Ji Li turned sideways and carried his still confused good brother to the front of his arms, and handed him the reins:
"Hold on, and keep your balance."

Jin Misha did as she was told. Driven by Ji Li's spiritual essence, the tall horse neighed and galloped wildly. The heavy clatter startled a string of night birds along the way.

In the past, in Murphy Megastructure, the World Tree Group had a casino satellite, where Ji Li had played horse racing.

Besides, he had played with horses in the virtual space, so riding a horse was not a strange thing for him. Moreover, this horse was easy to control, not to mention that it was controlled by spiritual energy. He just needed to get familiar with the sense of balance.

While teaching Bunny Girl how to ride a horse and holding her waist slightly, Ji Li was also estimating the speed of the horse.

In camouflage form, its speed is roughly on par with that of a small car of this era, and it comes with a spiritual cushion to resist wind resistance.

If entering the spiritual state, the speed will increase by about two times, and continuous injection of spiritual essence can further accelerate the speed. In terms of upper limit, it is not inferior to Jin Misha's motorcycle after being modified by Monsa.

Even because of the spiritual state, it was even better. After riding the rabbit for a while, the girl felt itchy. Ji Li said that young people should not eat what they have in the bowl and stare at what they have in the pot. They have no concentration at all.

The two of them didn't run very far. After running a small circle nearby, Jin Misha called a halt because she felt it was enough. The reason was that if they ran any later, the barbecue restaurant would close. Ji Li felt a little unsatisfied at this moment -

It has nothing to do with the horse, it’s mainly because good brothers smell better.

"So, urban legends are just lies..."

While chatting about the previous things related to the Lingbao Prison, the two returned to where the motorcycle was parked. Ji Lisan performed the ritual, and the "Magic Shadow" turned into spiritual essence and was recovered into his body. The two got on the parked motorcycle and returned to the city.

As a result, after driving for a while, Jin Misha heard a faint voice beside her ear and stopped the car suddenly:
"Have we encountered ghosts a little too often today?"

After we stopped the car, the sound of the wind died away, and I could clearly hear the voice coming from the bushes on the side of the road:

"Is there anyone here..."

This voice... seems to have been heard somewhere before? Ji Li glanced at Misha, whose eyes showed that she felt the same way.

"Good people passing by... come and take a look... there is a poor puppy here that is about to die... woo woo woo..."

The voice was obviously the sound of brakes outside. With a rustling sound coming from the grass, a familiar dog's head poked out listlessly from inside.

Seeing the dark motorcycle on the road, the dog-head's eyes suddenly cleared up, and tears burst out:
"Good people passing by!!! Please help the poor puppy! I will definitely repay you!!!"

Jin Misha was shocked: "This dog is still alive?"

"You're an idiot, aren't you?! I'm not a country boy!!! Do I look country? Do I look country?"

Tie Baojin was immediately furious. When he rushed over, he saw the two people sitting in the seats clearly, and his hair stood on end:

"It's you! Stupid woman!!!"

But it suddenly shut its mouth and looked at Ji Li behind Jin Misha. When it found that it was a tall and thin man, it was stunned for a moment, then raised its nose to sniff, and immediately rushed up excitedly -

"My benefactor! Please help me again and take me back to the city! I will definitely repay you!!!"

Ji Li looked at the fat dog and touched his chin with interest:
"How did you recognize me?"

"My benefactor, I can smell the fragrance of your spiritual essence from a long distance away! I was wondering how there could be such a fragrant spiritual essence in the world, it turns out to be you!!!"

"You can smell ectoplasm?"

That dog's head snapped.

"Then how are you going to repay me?"

Gouzi was stunned: "This..."

Ji Li and Rabbit looked at each other, nodded, and the engine roared to life.

"Wait! Don't go! It's so deep in the mountains and old forests. How am I going to get back? Wait for me!"

……

In Limbo at Monsa.

Thousands of souls cheered strangely and were collected by him into a small perfume bottle.

As the soul inhaled, the color inside the perfume bottle became darker and darker, and finally it was covered with a lid and tightened.

"...I never thought I would meet such a great being today..."

It was thinking about something, and waved its hands. The huge racetrack quickly disintegrated, and turned into spiritual power and was collected into a red wine bottle.

Although these spiritual essences were separated from it and used to build this spiritual prison, it is not so easy to take the spiritual essences used for the spiritual prison back into the body.

To use a popular human term, they need to be "refined" again.

"Decades of experience, all wasted today... just for one reincarnation, I don't know if it's worth it. But..."

Monsa sighed:

"With such a being hiding in this tiny place, it's better for me to leave... I feel sorry for my colleagues. Without my true vision, they would be eaten to the bone..."
