"No matter what it is, kill him first..." Illian gritted his teeth and said.
As soon as they said it, they did it. Driven by Irian, all the elves took out their weapons one after another. All of a sudden, all kinds of lights blasted at the mysterious monster.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
The light flashed continuously, the magic of the elves was not covered, and the overwhelming magic poured out on the monsters crazily for a while.
The monster screamed crazily in pain, its tentacles twitched rapidly, twisted together, and turned into a human arm. With five fingers, a black ball of light blasted towards everyone.
The monster also started to fight back.
"what?"
Ron was secretly taken aback. What this monster used was soul power.
However, his counterattack was in vain. Under the attack of the seven elves and Ron, he was beaten back and forth.
"They are so strong..."
At this moment, the monster's eyes were full of fear.
The monster didn't expect this elf team to be so difficult. He was covered in scars at the moment. Of course, a well-coordinated elf team is much stronger than an ordinary human mercenary group.
He screamed wildly, his hands folded into claws, and a huge black ball of light instantly formed.
"No, he's going to run away..." Ron yelled after seeing the monster's behavior.
"We must not let this monster go..." Opavilla said righteously when she heard it, and she remembered that so many people died tonight because of this monster, and the anger in her heart rose sharply.
"Kill—" Irian didn't say a word, and with a sense of justice, he would never let this murderous monster go.
"boom-"
The huge black ball of light hit the ground, and the powerful soul power continued to spread around. Everyone avoided in time, giving the monster a moment of respite.
With a sudden kick of his legs, the huge fleshy wings spread out, and in just a moment, he had already jumped tens of meters.
"Where to escape..."
Aurora yelled coquettishly, her gaze became serious, and she took out an arrow from the quiver at her waist, the bow string was drawn into a full moon, and with a "swoosh," the arrow flew out like a meteor chasing the moon.
The speed of the monster was very fast, but the speed of the Explosive Flame Arrow was even faster. With a bang, the bow and arrow pierced into the monster's body, and then exploded, shattered flesh and blood scattered in all directions.
The monster was caught off guard and was severely injured.
"Good job! Aurora..." Opavilla said.
"Great..." Illian smiled.
"coral-"
The monster turned around suddenly, staring at Aurora with a pair of blood-red eyes, as if he wanted to keep her in his heart, with strong hatred in his eyes.
"I'll come back and kill you... definitely will..."
The monster screamed frantically, and its entire body disappeared into the night sky.
"what?"
Everyone was stunned, it was the monster who spoke first, which meant...
"He's not a strange beast, he's a monster..." Irian said after taking a deep breath.
"Yes, he is an intelligent creature..." Silia also said, "It's different from those crazy beasts..."
"Let him run away, there will be no end of trouble, and we will chase..." Dietrich said.
The eight people quickly chased in the direction where the monster was escaping, but they couldn't see the shadow of the monster anywhere.
"Damn it, let him run away..." Silia stomped her feet angrily. She will never forget the feeling that her soul was almost pulled out when the tentacle stabbed her body.
"He can't run so far, I think he must be hiding..." Ron said, he used the crows in the sky to keep an eye on the monster, but the monster was flying and suddenly disappeared as if invisible.
This made Ron helpless.
"This guy is still invisible like a thief?" Opavila said fiercely, "If only we had a huntress here, she has a skill called 'Owl' that can see through invisibility..."
Everyone found nothing and had to return to the camp. It was already daylight.
"Let's continue on our way..." said Illian, who was too sleepy after a night of fuss.
Everyone packed their things silently and set off on the road. No one said a word along the way.
"Aurora, what are you thinking?" On the way, Phil asked Aurora next to him.
"Aurora?" Ron was stunned, and when he turned around, he couldn't help laughing.
Ron thought to himself, "I'm a little dazed, this Aurora is not that Aurora..."
At this time, Aurora replied, "I was thinking, what kind of monster was that attacking us just now?"
"Uh, I don't know..." Phil said awkwardly.
Opavilla smiled and said, "Irian is the most knowledgeable among us, why don't you ask him?"
All eyes turned to Irian.
Irian was contemplating, when he heard this, he raised his head, smiled and said, "Indeed, I was also thinking about this question, about the monster last night, I searched all the knowledge I learned in my mind, only one can match the number …”
"What is it?" Everyone became interested when they heard it.
There was a thoughtful expression on Irian's face, "It's a legendary monster, not to mention hundreds of years, even thousands of years ago, there was no trace of him..."
"I once saw in the ancient documents of the elves that there was a record of the appearance of this kind of monster on the continent of Omros 100,000 years ago..."
"Is that the legendary continent?" Phil was surprised. "It is said that our ancestors came from this continent. Is this true?"
"I don't know either. Legends are legends after all. There is no evidence to prove this at present..." Irian spread his hands and said, "After all, 100,000 years is too far away..."
Aurora said, "Let's get back to the topic, what is that monster?"
Irian nodded, "A tall black body with ten thick and long tentacles, with wings on his back, has the ability to devour souls, and can increase his strength by devouring souls. His name is Soul Devourer..."
"Soul-devouring beast?" Everyone was stunned for a while, they finally knew the name and origin of this monster.
"That's right, according to some scrolls from ancient times, this monster is called the Soul-devouring Beast..." Irian continued, "The most frightening thing is that while this monster is devouring the soul, it can also devour the person's soul." Memory, wisdom are also growing rapidly... "
"Devouring souls, both strength and wisdom are growing rapidly... Such a monster... is too scary..." Ron murmured, "If I guessed right last night, the strength of that soul-devouring beast is already at the master level. If it grows any further..."
"That's right..." Irian said, "The ancient humans also knew that this monster was terrible, so they treated it with caution, and once they found it, they would dispatch troops to encircle and suppress it..."
"But... why did such a terrifying monster appear on this alien plane?" Silia asked.
Irian shrugged, indicating that he couldn't answer that.
…
It was almost noon, and the sun in the sky was scorching the earth, making people feel cold. The weather on this alien plane is like this, and it changes as soon as it changes. It was still raining heavily just now, but it turned into scorching sun at noon, and it was cold at night. Like winter, people who venture here have several seasons of clothes in their space bags.
The crow was flying in the sky. At this moment, Ron's body shook violently, and he saw an extremely terrifying scene.
"Ron, what's wrong with you?" Irian, who was closest to Ron, noticed something wrong with Ron, and hurriedly asked.
"There... something happened..." Ron said, pointing in one direction.
"Go, go and see..."
Yi Lian felt bad, and he gave an order, and everyone ran in the direction Ron pointed.
The ground was littered with corpses, more than a hundred people, and the ground was in a mess, as if after a fierce battle.
"It's a soul-devouring beast..." Ron quickly ran to the nearest corpse. There was a blood hole the size of a coin in the guy's neck.
Opavila frowned, "They fought against the Soul-devouring Beast, and they were all killed?"
"No, there is a corpse of a strange beast here..." Irian pointed to a giant steel-armored rhino. stronger.
"Some of them were killed by the armored giant rhino, and some were killed by the soul-devouring beast..." Phil inspected for a long time and said, "They wanted to escape, but they were quickly caught up..."
Ron took a deep breath, "Judging from the signs at the scene, the Soul-devouring Beast attacked after the mercenary group defeated the steel-armored giant rhinoceros. Some people haven't had time to react..."
Hearing this, all the elves shuddered in unison. This kind of monster is really terrifying, and the wisdom he possesses has reached a terrifying level.
"This monster is really shameless..." Silia couldn't help cursing fiercely.
"Are we chasing?" Opavilla asked, looking at Illian.
"Can't chase..." Ron shook his head, "These people appeared to have just died... He deliberately hid, and we are not familiar with this alien plane, so it is impossible to find him..."
"If I find him, I'll have to kill him..." Opavilla said angrily. Judging from the signs last night, the monster is not strong, and the strength of the entire elf team should be able to kill him.
…
After the elf team left, a figure slowly emerged from the cliff at the foot of the mountain.
Soul Eater!
I saw that his scar from being shot by Aurora last night was completely healed, and his black skin was as smooth as a forging. At this moment, his hands were human-like arms, but when he devoured the soul, it would become terrifying tentacles.
"Heh heh heh... these nasty elves..."
There was a sneer on the corner of the soul-devouring beast's mouth, and his eyes swept to the crows flying in the sky, "Don't you think I don't know? Those crows are your eyes, they are not real crows, but composed of soul power... "
Looking at the crows in the sky, he couldn't help swallowing, soul power was his food.
"It's a pity, they are too strong, and I am not their opponent now?" Soul Devourer shook his head, his eyes full of regret, "There must be a practitioner of soul power among them, but I don't know who it is? Is it the elf woman who shot me last night? Well... it must be!"
"Hehe, I really didn't expect that holy artifact to attract so many humans. I've been hungry for so long, and it's time to be full..."
"As for that elf woman... hehe..."
The soul-devouring beast's eyes were full of strong murderous intent. Since its birth, no one could hurt him so badly. At this time, he hated Aurora to the extreme.
"You wait for me, I will definitely come back, I will never let you go..."
The Soul-devouring Beast sneered, and his figure slowly disappeared...
