Of course, this was all a lie to deceive the Soul Eater.
However, the Soul Eater was now deeply attracted by the temptation, and all the little intelligence it had left had vanished.
It greedily inhaled the fragrance in the air, and asked somewhat nervously, "Really? If I tell you, you'll give it to me and let me go?"
Is this person really that good?
It has to be said that the Soul Eater is really naive, which may be why it has never tasted the flavor of a human soul.
Tu Ling nodded and said seriously, "As long as you are willing to tell me the purpose of your coming to the human realm, I can let you go."
At this point, Devouring Spirit couldn't care less about anything else and decided to take a risk.
It seemed to clear its throat and coughed lightly a few times, its big eyes looking at the hand that the earth spirit was holding its body, and whispered, "Um... I'm about to tell you everything, can you put me down now?"
Although being held like this doesn't prevent it from speaking, it's still quite uncomfortable.
The earth spirit was not afraid that the spirit devourer would escape, so it did as it said and let go of its grip.
The Soul Eater stretched its body and floated around in the air.
It hadn't felt anything when it was being held, but now that it was free, it found the space so comfortable...
It actually became somewhat engrossed in it...
"Can I speak now?"
Seeing that the Soul Eater had not continued, the Earth Spirit interrupted it impatiently.
The Soul Eater regained its senses and stopped moving. It hovered in front of the Earth Spirit and said in a deep voice:
"We came to the human world with no real purpose."
Tu Ling's eyes flashed with anger, and he reached out to grab Shi Ling's neck again.
So, he still doesn't understand what he just said about the Soul Devourer?
Seeing this, the Soul Eater quickly floated away, and in the instant it was grabbed by the Earth Spirit, it anxiously spoke:
"I'm not lying to you, I really didn't know. It was purely by chance that we got here! My companion and I were all transported here by a strange formation! Really! I mean it!"
It had finally regained its temporary freedom, and it didn't want to be caught again...
Besides, what it said was all true.
Earth Spirit stared at Devourer for a long time, and after confirming that it was not lying, it withdrew its hand, signaling Devourer to continue.
"At that time, my companion and I were enjoying a particularly delicious soul when we were suddenly swept away by a black wind. The black wind was swift and came suddenly, and we were caught completely off guard and were all taken away."
At this point, Soul Eater said somewhat aggrievedly:
"The black wind not only separated me and my companions, but also devoured several of my companions... I am weak, and they found a place that looked like a teleportation array and planned to teleport away directly."
"But because we didn't know where the teleportation array led, we hesitated for a moment."
"The Black Wind seems to have locked onto us and is relentlessly pursuing us. We have no choice but to jump into the teleportation array in front of us."
"That black wind naturally disappeared after we all entered the teleportation array. At the time, I didn't think much about it and only wanted to escape. Now, looking back... it seems that the black wind was meant to force us into the teleportation array..."
"So your destination is the human realm?" Tu Ling asked.
The Soul Eater's words didn't seem to be false, but why was he teleported to the human realm?
"No, we didn't know this was the human realm at first either. As you know, we Soul Eaters have always lived in darkness. Although we feed on souls, it's only because they've lost to us that we can devour them. If they were of strong will, they wouldn't be seduced by us..."
At this point, Soul Eater still felt a bit proud.
That's right. The choice was entirely with the other party. They only provoked them with words, and they fell into the trap. So how can you blame them for devouring souls...
Even the Earth Spirit was speechless as the Soul Devourer's words went further and further astray.
Is this Soul Eater a little slow...?
I have no idea how it has survived until now...
Fortunately, the Soul Eater didn't talk for long before remembering what the Earth Spirit wanted to ask.
It was also an honest one, not hiding anything, and recounted everything in detail:
"When the teleportation array brought us here, my companions and I were separated. We had never been here before and didn't know where we were going, so we went our separate ways."
"I drifted aimlessly, and this place is truly desolate..."
At this point, Soul Eater sighed, feeling a pang of sympathy for the humans here.
It saw the outside world—desolate and lonely, just like it had once lived in darkness…
It wandered endlessly among those broken walls and ruins.
It actually detected a place brimming with immense spiritual energy.
It ran there happily and entered the base.
As a spirit devourer, it is invisible to ordinary humans, and thus it successfully went into hiding.
It was actually present during that intrusion incident.
The intruding gray-clad figure exerted a tremendous sense of oppression on it, causing it to cautiously hide even deeper.
Later, it discovered Ye Hao in the midst of the battle.
It also caught the scent of his delicious soul, a taste unlike any soul it had ever eaten.
So, it entered Ye Hao's body.
He planned to observe Ye Hao first, understand his psychology, and then break down his psychological defenses and devour his soul.
Later, Zero appeared, it was discovered, and then it was captured and brought here...
Speaking of which, the Soul Eater's fate is pretty tragic; it was captured as soon as it arrived in the human realm...
