Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 37 Flesh Puppet

"call--"

“The blood and flesh essence condensed from a Beast General-level monster is much more powerful than that of a Beast Soldier-level monster.

After completely absorbing the flesh and blood of the beast general to evolve, my strength should be able to increase by about 400-500kg a day.

If you engage in high-intensity fighting to get your blood boiling and speed up absorption, the speed will be even faster!"

After killing thousands of monsters on the entire street, Qin Ming also felt his body slowly improving as he absorbed the essence of blood and flesh.

After a long time, Qin Ming looked into the distance.

"According to military intelligence, a high-level lord-level monster, the King Kong Ape, is entrenched in the core area of ​​the area ahead. Stay away for the time being!"

Before setting out hunting, Qin Ming had of course collected enough information.

This high-level lord-level monster force has three ape-type lord-level monsters under its command, as well as a large number of beast generals and beast soldier-level monsters.

Although he can fly and is protected by the Black God suit, it is still quite dangerous.

"Go hunt somewhere else first, and then get rid of it after your strength increases."

Qin Ming glanced at the map on the communicator on his wrist.

There are many monsters in City 003, so there is no need to hang yourself on a tree.

brush!
After several consecutive jumps, Qin Ming soared into the air and shot towards another direction.

As for the dead silent neighborhood behind him, given the density of Monster No. 003 and the large number of monsters roaming around, their presence would increase in a few days at most, and no one would notice anything unusual.

A moment later, Qin Ming landed on a building.

"The monsters here are already very powerful. Many high-level beasts have appeared, and there seem to be signs of other warriors active."

Qin Ming's consciousness seemed to be floating in the sky, and he saw a very distant place. It was also as if he had passed through the obstruction of the building and saw the monster lurking in it.

This is a function Qin Ming developed when he was exploring the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

He discovered that he could use the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to attach a trace of his consciousness to the monster's soul and observe everything around him with the other's vision.

Even at the same time, consciousness is dispersed into the soul bodies of multiple monsters to form a network of vision.

Rather than limiting it to allowing the monster soul to conduct autonomous reconnaissance.

This is an excellent skill for reconnaissance and even combat.

"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is still too mysterious to me. Currently, I only use it to absorb monster souls and corpses to strengthen myself, or use monster souls to attack directly or possess them.

There are still many features that have not been developed at all.”

Thinking in his mind, Qin Ming jumped into the balcony of the high-rise building below him and began to search and hunt the monsters from top to bottom.

In this building, there is a tiger cat of high-level beast general level.

Tiger cats are not big in size. After all, they are just cat monsters. Even high-level beast generals are only the size of calves.

Although it looks small in size, the tiger cat is very ferocious, has extremely fast reaction speed, and is very flexible. It is an assassination-type monster.

It is very simple to identify the strength of an ocelot, which can be seen from its tail.

One-tailed advanced beast soldier, two-tailed primary beast general, three-tailed intermediate beast general, and so on. When it reaches eight tails, it is already a king-level monster!

And this one has four tails.

"Let's use this tiger cat to try out how to refine a flesh puppet!"

Qin Ming thought, and flying knives surrounded him from all directions at an extremely fast speed, and then instantly killed the tiger cat hiding in the corner of the stairs. Apparently, the tiger cat had discovered Qin Ming on the roof and tried to attack him by surprise.

It’s a pity that this kind of sneak attack can be detected in advance through mental power by any psychic, not to mention Qin Ming.

brush!
He landed in front of the tiger cat's corpse, and with a thought, he collected the tiger cat's corpse and soul into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

But unlike usual, this corpse not only did not decompose quickly, but fell into a blood-red lake composed of the essence of flesh and blood inside the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

This blood-colored lake is not big, only five meters in diameter.

After hunting down thousands of monsters, half of them were absorbed by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner itself, and the rest were kept by Qin Ming and turned into this lake of flesh and blood.

Noisy!Noisy!Noisy!
Along with a harsh sound, a large amount of blood essence poured into the tiger cat's body. The fur that was originally full of spots soon turned red, and the body pierced by the flying knife was also repairing quickly.

In just a moment, the fatal wound disappeared.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Qin Ming showed a hint of joy. As he refined it, he seemed to be able to vaguely sense a body, and this sensation was rapidly increasing.

This feeling is completely different from controlling a monster's soul.

"It's so clear? You can even see the muscle tissue and even the cell structure inside the tiger cat?"

The more he refined it, the stronger Qin Ming felt his control over the tiger cat became. He could even clearly see everything inside its body and control it easily.

brush!
A blood-red tiger cat appeared in front of Qin Ming, and the blood color on its body quickly faded, but there was still a hint of blood in its eyes, full of death and murderous intent.

"Controlling a flesh puppet? Interesting!"

As Qin Ming's mind moved, the tiger cat's body also moved. When it ran and jumped, there was no difference between it and an ordinary tiger cat.

This is a tiger cat at the high-level warrior level!

In just a moment, Qin Ming gained the combat power of a high-level general.

In some novels I read in my previous life, magical treasures such as the Ten Thousand Souls Banner often have the ability to refine corpses and control zombies, puppets, etc.

In the world of Devouring the Stars, there is also the profession of puppeteer.

Puppeteers are a type of mentalist, but they are very unpopular and very rare compared to controllers, illusionists, etc.

It's barely mentioned in the original book.

As for the flesh and blood puppets, Qin Ming only knew that there was a special kind of life in the universe called the [Green Line Devourer], which could split into thousands of clones, take root on the planet, and control the life puppets.

"With the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it seems that we can refine flesh puppets on a large scale and use them as combat weapons."

Qin Ming touched his chin and did not control the flesh and blood puppet himself. Instead, he refined the tiger cat's original soul and stuffed it into it.

Sure enough, when the tiger cat's soul entered the body in front of him, he was able to control it very easily, as if he had never died.

"Go! Hunt down a monster for me."

At a command, the tiger cat pounced out from the balcony, and after several consecutive jumps on the street, landed in front of a tiger-ao dog at the junior beast general level.

The sharp claws popped out and swept across the tiger-dog's neck at an extremely fast speed, pulling out its blood vessels.

Then the small body bit the Tiger Dog and dragged it into the building and in front of Qin Ming.

"This flesh puppet's range of activity doesn't seem to be as small as a soul body. It can absorb soul crystals just like a monster soul, and use the flesh crystals to continue strengthening!"

"Continue the experiment. With a batch of flesh puppets, my strength and safety will be greatly improved."
