After the multi-legged winged lizards and giant winged lizards were no longer a threat, mysterious purple te...

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Capturing the Soul Devourer

Unaware of Ye Hao's situation, the others assumed he was contemplating a solution based on his expression, unaware that he was currently in dire straits...

"Ye Hao, what do you think?" Ling turned to Ye Hao and asked.

They had just come up with a plan and were about to ask Ye Hao for his opinion.

Ye Hao seemed to be immersed in his own world, oblivious to the people and sounds around him. Furthermore, a strange pressure emanated from him.

Everyone sensed the unusual pressure surrounding Ye Hao. Chongming, who was closest to Ye Hao, shivered involuntarily and asked, "Captain, what's wrong?"

He rubbed his hands together, and suddenly felt a chill in the air...

Ye Hao's unusual behavior also caught the attention of the earth spirit within Ling's body.

It turns out that after returning to the space, the Earth Spirit had been keeping something in mind. Aside from her curiosity about the human world, it would be good to get to know the things around Zero better.

Sure enough, Ye Hao's strange expression caught his attention.

That is indeed unusual.

Having noticed something amiss, Tu Ling said to Ling in the space, "Come closer and let me investigate."

Ling got up and walked towards Ye Hao.

"Okay, stop."

Tu Ling's voice rang out when Ye Hao was about a meter away.

Zero, then stop.

"Grandpa Tu Ling, look at him, what's wrong with him..."

"The earth spirit in the zero-directional space asked, somewhat anxiously."

"Don't rush, let me take a look first."

The Earth Spirit temporarily calmed Zero down, and its blue, transparent body gradually emerged.

Of course, this can only be seen by zero.

"This is... Soul Devourer?"

Once outside the space, Tu Ling briefly examined the area and muttered to himself, somewhat incredulous.

"What is Soul Devouring?" Zero asked in confusion.

Tu Ling's expression was somewhat serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Spirit Devourers are beings without physical form, unlike spirits like me. They feed on emotions and nourish themselves with souls, making them an extremely evil existence."

However, how did this Soul Devourer end up in the human realm...?

Tu Ling sensed that things were getting more and more complicated, wondering why almost everything was happening in the human realm.

"Wouldn't Ye Hao be in great danger?"

Upon hearing Tu Ling say that the Soul Devourer feeds on souls, Ling became even more worried about Ye Hao's safety.

Tu Ling calmed himself down, looked at Ye Hao, and said, "Judging from the current situation, Ye Hao is not in any immediate danger. He should have only recently been bewitched. Coincidentally, I know about the Soul Devourer before, so I can deal with it."

Hearing Tu Ling say that Ye Hao was alright and that he had a way to deal with that Spirit Devourer, Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

"Give me a drop of blood."

Tu Ling said to Ling.

Although he could have dealt with the Soul Devourer, the process was rather complicated, and Ye Hao might not have been able to hold out for long. Moreover, his method was rather violent, which was to directly enter Ye Hao's body and pull out the Soul Devourer.

Unlike existing in the zero space, after he enters Ye Hao's body, Ye Hao will be subjected to the pressure of two spirits at the same time. He is just an ordinary human, and his soul may not be able to withstand it.

Therefore, this is a very poor strategy.

However, now that Zero, the being of all spirits, exists, it is believed that Soul Devourer would prefer the latter to ordinary souls.

Generally speaking, it is very difficult to get rid of someone who is possessed by a spirit unless the spirit comes out on its own or the more violent method of stripping it away is used.

The reason for needing a single drop of Zero's blood is simply to use it to lure out the Soul Devourer...

Without hesitation, Ling bit his index finger, and a bead of blood immediately appeared on it.

With a single spell cast by Tu Ling, the drop of blood floated in the air, slowly moving until it finally stopped on Ye Hao's forehead.

Chongming and the others were all taken aback. Seeing Ling's actions, they didn't ask anything. Although they didn't know what had happened to Ye Hao, they believed that Ling must have had a reason for doing this.

Therefore, he simply stood silently to the side, neither disturbing nor making a sound...

The Soul Devourer, which was about to devour Ye Hao's soul within Ye Hao's body, suddenly sensed something, released Ye Hao's soul, and greedily inhaled the scent in the air.

What is this? It smells so good...

Following the scent, the Spirit Devourer appeared impatiently on Ye Hao's forehead, but stopped just before it was about to leave.

It is struggling...

Is it to abandon the soul one has already gained, or to go out and pursue that alluring fragrance?

The Earth Spirit stared intently at Ye Hao's forehead, keeping a close watch on his movements, waiting for the Spirit Devourer to show itself so it could capture him.

Finally, the Soul Eater couldn't resist the delicious food outside and, seemingly having made a great decision, poked its head out from Ye Hao's forehead.

Zero was deeply shocked.

It was a black thing that wasn't quite a head. It only had one eye, and below the eye, there was no nose, but there was a huge slit, which I suppose was its mouth...

Is this what Soul Devouring is?

While Zero was still observing, Tu Ling suddenly grabbed the Soul Devourer by the neck the instant it peeked out, pulling it away from Ye Hao's body.

Beneath that black head, there was a body about twenty centimeters long, but without limbs.

After being captured, the Soul Eater was also shocked, making a squeaking sound that hurt the ears, and everyone involuntarily covered their ears.

Chongming and the others could not see the Earth Spirit, so naturally they could not see the Spirit Devourer that he had captured.

Suddenly, a burst of static in their ears made them ache.

Tu Ling applied a little force, and the sharp sound stopped abruptly, replaced by a low whimper, as if it were sobbing.

The Soul Eater can cry?

Zero was somewhat puzzled. He had seen everything clearly, including the appearance of the Soul Eater, its capture by the Earth Spirit, and its struggles and current pleas for mercy.

Tu Ling said to Ling, "Don't be fooled by it. The Soul Devourer's greatest skill is bewitching people's hearts."

Zero snapped out of his daze, startled.

Just now, I actually felt a moment of sympathy for the Soul Eater...

Thinking of this, a hint of anger appeared in his eyes as he looked at the Soul Eater.

This thing not only wanted to devour Ye Hao, but also wanted to bewitch him.

"Grandpa Tuling, what are you planning to do?"

Now that the Soul Eater has been captured, Zero asked with some curiosity, "How will the Earth Spirit deal with him?"

"No rush, let me catch him first. There are some things I need to ask him."

The Earth Spirit did not immediately take any action to eliminate the Soul Devourer, but instead planned to restrain it first.

The sudden appearance of the Soul Eater signifies increasing unrest in the human realm, and who knows what will happen next... He needs to extract something from this Soul Eater...

"Alright, I'll take him back to the space first. You can take care of things here. Your friend will wake up in a bit."

Looking at the unconscious Ye Hao, Tu Ling said to Ling, then grabbed Shi Ling and returned to the space.

Ling nodded, walked back to his seat, looked at Chongming and the others standing beside him, and smiled:

"It's alright, everyone let's wait for Ye Hao to wake up."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat down one by one, patiently waiting for Ye Hao to wake up...
