C3698 A Land of Despair
He noticed that there were many Soul Race people in the cave opposite him. They were looking at him with fear, but not a single one of them dared to come out.
Chen Xiao did not pay attention to them. After refining and absorbing a Soul Stone, he opened his mouth and said, "Come, let's go to the next tribe."
"Don't you care about these people?" Xiaoxiao ran out and asked.
"I don't care." Chen Xiao said.
What he needed the most right now was the soul crystals and anything that could strengthen his divine soul. Obviously, these ordinary members of the Soul Race didn't have anything he wanted.
From this point of view, it was because they were poor and stupid and saved their lives.
Otherwise, even if these ordinary members of the Soul Race didn't die in Chen Xiao's hands, they would die in the hands of other outsiders. Sooner or later, it would happen.
Chen Xiao didn't think that the others would be as benevolent as him and not kill him.
"Oh, good. You are really a good person. Not all outsiders are bad guys," Xiaoxiao replied.
Hearing these innocent words, Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I have killed so many people of the Soul Race, so how can I be considered a good person?"
"Yes, those who kill evil people are good people. That's what Grandpa said. Is it wrong?"
"Yes, and that's not right." Chen Xiao smiled, and did not explain anything.
In his opinion, the world within the painting was a truly terrifying land of despair. There was no hope for these members of the Soul Race to stay in this prison-like world.
A world without hope was terrifying just by thinking about it. Perhaps not saying anything would be a form of pity for them.
If these members of the Soul Race found out the truth, that would be the truly terrifying thing.
"My lord, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing. Do you remember where the next tribe is?"
"Yes, it's a little far from here. It's a few days' journey," Xiaoxiao replied.
"Yes, I know. Lead the way."
"Oh, okay." There was confusion in Xiaoxiao's innocent eyes, but she didn't dare to ask.
Just like that, Xiaoxiao led the way, and Chen Xiao followed behind. Several days later, they arrived at a vast forest. It was a powerful Soul Tribe.
They did not live in a cave, but lived by trees. There were tree houses of various sizes, which looked very strange.
Chen Xiao's divine sense swept across and found that this tribe had at least a thousand members of the Soul Race, and among them, there were more than a hundred people who had the power of the divine soul. This was obviously a tribe of the Soul Race that was much stronger than before.
In his divine sense, these powerful members of the Soul Race were like fireflies in the night sky. They were especially conspicuous and clearly visible.
"What a powerful tribe. They are much stronger than the two Soul Race tribes that I have encountered before." Chen Xiao thought to himself, and couldn't help but become vigilant.
"This tribe is already the strongest Soul Race tribe in the vicinity." Xiaoxiao said as she looked at Chen Xiao with a hint of warning.
Chen Xiao nodded his head to show that he understood, and did not say anything else.
After a while, a large number of strong Soul Race clansmen rushed out of the Soul Tribe after sensing the movement. There were more than a hundred powerful Soul Race clansmen holding weapons.
What surprised Chen Xiao was that this Soul Race tribe was different from the ones he had encountered before. It was extremely restrained.
This meant that there must be an expert in this Soul Race tribe who knew the difference in strength between the members of the Soul Race and the outsiders.
"Interesting. It seems that there are also wise people among the Soul Tribe." Chen Xiao thought.
Soon, a female Soul Race clansman walked out under the escort of a large group of powerful Soul Race clansmen. She was different from the other members of the Soul Race. She had a beautiful appearance, and a pair of bright eyes that flashed with the light of wisdom.
The female Soul Race clansman walked to the front and was more than ten meters away from Chen Xiao.
"My name is Hua Yin. I have yet to ask you." The female Soul Race clansman said extremely politely.
"Hua Yin? My name is Chen Xiao. "Chen Xiao replied calmly, but in fact, his heart was surging.
The two of them looked at each other, and Chen Xiao could see the fearlessness and resolution in her eyes.
"Have you ever seen an outsider?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Yes, and no, my husband has seen one before." Hua Yin replied.
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked: "Where is he?"
"Dead."
"Dead?"
"Yes, he is dead. He most likely died on the mountain, or at the hands of an outsider, but his death has changed the survival of the entire tribe." Hua Yin said with a smile, but there were not many complaints on his face.
When Chen Xiao heard this, he thought for a while and asked: "It's like this, so you came to negotiate with me?"
"Yes, I can tell you the method to increase the power of my soul, but you have to guarantee that you will let my tribe go." Hua Yin said.
"Oh, do you know the method to strengthen the soul?" Chen Xiao was interested, he never thought that the other party would actually be able to give such useful information.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. The other party in the painting was much more familiar with the world than an outsider like him.
"Alright, tell me about it."
"As far as I know, there are three ways to strengthen one's soul. The first is to eat soul crystals, which is the lowest method. The second is to take the Soul Picking Fruit, and the third is to cultivate the soul technique." Hua Yin explained slowly.
Chen Xiao was shocked, and his heart was filled with joy. He did not expect that there would actually be two other ways to increase the power of one's divine soul.
It seemed that he had really come to the right place.
Fortunately, he did not act impulsively and directly made a move. It seemed that he was right after all.
"What is the Soul Fruit, and what is the cultivation method of the Soul Technique?" Chen Xiao asked.
This time, Hua Yin did not speak directly, but said: "You haven't agreed to my conditions yet."
"Sure, as long as you can tell me what the Soul Fruit and the Soul Technique cultivation method is, I will naturally follow the agreement and not harm the other members of the Soul Race of your tribe." Chen Xiao said.
Hua Yin smiled. From her eyes, it could be seen that she did not trust Chen Xiao, so she continued, "Please swear an inner demon oath."
"You don't trust me?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Yes, outsiders cannot be trusted. This is a common saying in the Soul Race." Hua Yin said.
"It's like this, Mental Demon Oath is possible." Chen Xiao paused for a moment and swore: "I, Chen Xiao, swear here that I will abide by the agreement with Hua Yin. If I go against the oath, my body will be devoured by the Mental Demon, and I will not be able to rest in peace."
"Enough. There are three ways to increase the power of the soul. The first is the soul crystal, but refining the soul crystal has a very big side effect. I believe you must have felt it a little." Hua Yin explained slowly.
"What side effect?"
"Soul crystals are the core of the Soul Race. They are formed from the power of the divine soul. After the Soul Race dies, their remnant thoughts and hatred will gather in the soul crystals. This is also why the color of the other Soul Race members' souls will change after eating the soul crystals. As for the outsiders, they will also experience a terrible change after consuming the soul crystals." Hua Yin said.
