Earth’s Best Gamer

Ji Ye and Li Qing returned to the clearing after they chased and killed all the Sludge race creatures.

As the stronghold of the Soul race, the Bloodsoul Vine couldn’t hold on much longer.

This was because compared to the Sludge race, who only had a few means to attack, humans undoubtedly had many different tactics.

Moreover, they had observed it for a while on the side and had learned the attack range and methods of this plant that seemed to have gained sentience, the battle naturally became relatively simple.

It didn’t need mentioning that the Bloodsoul Vine Tree had already been severely injured by the Sludge race’s attacks, to the point that it couldn’t even activate the “red defensive barrier”.

“Pew!”

In the blink of an eye, the last blood-red vine was immobilized by a talisman arrow shot by Qin Yueyu.

Following that, a Dao fire erupted and burned the vine from a spot close to the tree. If not for the Bloodsoul Vine Tree having a large amount of “blood”, it might have been burned up as well.

However, it was still an Extraordinary creature after all. In the end, it still injured the humans.

This was because it had secretly hidden a vine underground. At the final moment, it suddenly coiled around an elite soldier.

Then, the green light around the Bloodsoul Vine Tree that had lost its vitality began to gather towards the center, finally forming a “gem” that emitted a beautiful green light that floated in the air.

[Soul Settlement Core]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-1]

[Rarity: Special]

[Description: It can be used to strengthen and level up a settlement. During the strengthening process, it can choose to retain part of the core characteristics of the Soul settlement. The light from providence shining on humanity can also be used to convert into the core of a human settlement!]

When he reached out and grabbed the core that looked like jadeite, Ji Ye felt a bone-chilling coldness the first time he made contact. He felt as if thousands of Souls were roaring in indignation.

However, with his physique, he was naturally fine.

What will happen if I ‘fuse’ the core of the settlement?

A bold thought suddenly popped up in Ji Ye’s mind.

However, he soon realized that it was impossible.

This was because the ownership of the settlement core belonged to the entire Twin Dragon Mount settlement. It was even related to the light shining on the Soul race. It was not a personal item.

According to the theory of immortal cultivation, such things clearly implied great karma and was not suitable for fusion.

At least not for now!

[Destroyed Soul Settlement. Honor gained: 70. Rare Honor gained: 7!]

After picking up the Soul settlement’s core, the reward information appeared in his mind.

This… That’s a generous number of Rare Honor points…

He wasn’t the only one. The others had clearly received their rewards as well. Qin Yueyu and Li Qing were extremely shocked.

It was obvious that they had obtained at least some Rare Honor. From there, they learned the confidential information that Rare Honor could actually exchange for abilities and items in the Land of Inheritance and bring them to Earth!

However, compared to ordinary Honor, there were just too few Rare Honor points.

Furthermore, Ji Ye did not feel that his abilities had enough value to exchange it for Earth.

Therefore, he temporarily put this matter to the back of his mind and began to count the other spoils of war apart from what he received from the Souls’ settlement.

[Centenarian Bloodsoul Vine Crystal]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-3]

[Rarity: Superior]

[Description: A crystal condensed at the heart of a Bloodsoul Vine that has a symbiotic relationship with Souls. Extreme Yin gives birth to Yang. It possesses surging life force. Perhaps it can help some spiritual plants advance.]

Such a clear tip didn’t need further explanation.

The most valuable spiritual plant of Twin Dragon Mount was definitely the Red Pip fruit in the Mandrill cave.

This crystal could probably make up for the loss of extracting its Blood Soil. After all, the Bloodsoul Vine’s level was even higher than the Red Pip fruits.

Apart from that, the Bloodsoul Vine Tree also dropped a very special “skill.”

[Soulblood Spirit Aggregation Art (Incomplete)]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Perfect (Rare)]

[Description: A method mastered by the Souls to cultivate special intelligence. Through powerful soul power and blood, it can allow some creatures to nurture their spiritual senses, thus turning them into special living creatures. It is said that the complete Soulblood Spirit Aggregation Art can even allow objects with zero intelligence to develop intelligence.]

Hmm, what’s this about?

A skill book for farming? Or dark necro magic? Or a disabled version of a cultivation-type magical power that gives sentience?

The first thing that came to Ji Ye’s mind was definitely this blood vine with consciousness.

Apart from that, he could not help but recall the previous zombie, the Twin-Winged Tiger, whose actions seemed to have some autonomy.

Although the species and civilizations were different, some ideas were very similar. This was not only to build a “mecha”, but also to have “artificial intelligence”.

Ji Ye’s intuition told him that this item was worth a lot.

In fact, there was no need to talk about intuition. It was obvious from its level.

Apart from the Primordial Chaos Force he had fused, this was the first time he had seen a Perfect-level “skill.”

Even if it was an incomplete version!

However, why… does a Soul race’s spoil of war also need blood? It’s like everything needed blood!

The reason why it was “everything” was because other than that, there were five Extraordinary Rank-0 Bloodsoul Vine seeds. They could produce the Bloodsoul Vine that could generate the “blood-colored barrier”. However, it not only required time, but also a large amount of blood…

In fact, Ji Ye could guess the reason. Blood was trash or even venomous to the Souls.

Therefore, they figured out a way to recycle trash.

However, the current Twin Dragon Mount clearly did not have enough blood. Therefore, these two items could only be kept as a collection for the time being.

As a settlement of the Soul race, apart from the items that dropped from destroying the Bloodsoul, there were two other items that should be considered the Soul race’s resources.

[Soul Jade]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-0]

[Rarity: Refined]

[Description: A special mineral found in the Soul race’s living zone. It can store soul power and convert it into other types of energy.]

A Soul portable charger?

Old Master Jiao will probably like it very much…

As an Earthling, his thoughts were naturally focused on “energy conversion”.

However, with an academician around, he naturally didn’t need to worry about the research.

And the final resource.

Perhaps this was the greatest harvest of his trip.

[Soul Fluid]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-1]

[Rarity: Superior]

[Description: Soul Fluid that’s meticulously concocted by the Soul race to nurture younglings. After consumption, it can enhance the soul power of most species.]

Although the improvement of the soul at the Ordinary level was limited in terms of mental strength compared to the physical body of humans, it was of great significance after the Extraordinary stage.

Putting everything else aside, the Yin Soul and Yang Soul in a Daoist cultivation system occupied important positions.

More importantly, his soul level had already reached the peak of Extraordinary Rank-2, only a step away from Extraordinary Rank-3. This Soul Fluid was enough for him to break through again.

The only problem was that the Soul Fluid was only finished products and not a formula that dropped. The Soul race had already been destroyed and it couldn’t be obtained again once expended.

No, wait. I can’t fuse the settlement core, but it doesn’t mean I can’t fuse Soul Fluid.

Ji Ye’s eyes lit up.

Theoretically, the materials needed for the Souls’ Soul Fluid could definitely be found in this area. After “fusion”, he could completely grasp the nature and composition of Soul Fluid.

It could definitely be replicated, and it might even be of higher quality and level!

Fusion was not only useful in battle, but also in life.
