Chapter 30: Thorn Thunder Lizard
Qin Zhuo, who was searching for a soul beast, sensed something and turned his head to look in the direction he had left.
"Is it an illusion? Or have those people come back again..."
The distance was a bit far, and his spiritual strength was totally insufficient, but choosing to stay away was the wisest move at this time.
Qin Zhuo thought about the choice of the fourth soul skill for a long time and felt that the options this time were very broad.
After all, the first and second soul skills are both powerful attack-type soul skills, and the first soul skill also has a control effect.
Of course, the power of thunder and lightning itself combines attack and control. It can paralyze you or kill you with electricity.
The third soul skill is provided by the ten thousand year soul ring, which combines the discharge ability of the thunder magnetic electric eel to give a large-scale control soul skill.
The Magnetic Storm Electric Domain also has two forms. One is thrown out in the form of a magnetic storm ball. After it explodes, a large area will be covered in the magnetic storm. The electric Domain formed by the magnetic storm can not only slow down the mobility of targets in the area, but also continuously emit an electric shock effect.
Another form is to use oneself as a carrier to directly release magnetic storm energy, forming an electric Domain with the body as the center.
The magnetic ball can be controlled remotely, which makes it flexible and has a wide attack range, but the pre-swing is too long, the target is obvious, and it is easy to be discovered.
Self-release is instantaneous, and the key is to catch the opponent by surprise, leaving those close to you with no way to avoid it. However, it has too many limitations and can only strike targets around it.
Although both forms have limitations, Qin Zhuo himself is still very satisfied. Not to mention the far end of the magnetic storm ball, the deterrent effect is directly maximized. As long as it can make people feel scared, it is also a successful control.
The instant close combat is even more in line with his fighting style. Close combat is what Qin Zhuo is good at. Even if the opponent does not want to get close to him, he will take the initiative to approach the opponent. At this time, the instantaneous Magnetic Storm Electric Domain is the most effective control with a 100% success rate.
Soul skills don't necessarily need to be perfect. The best ones are those that suit you.
So for the fourth soul skill, what Qin Zhuo wanted most was an amplification soul skill. Defensive skills were also good. He thought strong attack and control were also acceptable.
Of course, it would be best if one soul skill could cover all directions...
"We've covered this area! If we go any deeper, we might attract the little monkey's attention."
Qin Zhuo had no intention of entering the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. With his ability, saving his life was not a problem, but there was no need to cause unnecessary trouble.
The middle area can fully satisfy the needs of soul beasts over 40,000 years old. If you really can't find any, that's another matter.
After hiding his aura, the identities of Qin Zhuo and the soul beast changed greatly. Before, the soul beast was a hunter and wanted to attack him.
Now, Qin Zhuo would appear next to a soul beast from time to time, and quietly leave when he was dissatisfied. Sometimes, the soul beasts with high vigilance would be scared by him...
The helpless roars of soul beasts could be heard from time to time in the forest, and Qin Zhuo also found a soul beast that satisfied him during the chase.
A Thorny Thunder Lizard that is more than 40,000 years old, belongs to the sub-dragon species and is a very cruel soul beast. According to the records of the Spirit Hall, this soul beast will not kill its prey directly when hunting, but will leave thunder energy in the prey's body, and then use the horns on its head to continuously discharge electricity, torturing the prey to death.
Of course, from a human perspective, the hunting behavior of the Thorny Thunder Lizard is indeed cruel, but from the perspective of biological survival, it is the most reasonable.
Although the Thorny Thunder Lizard is a sub-dragon species, its body is not very strong. It can even be said to be a player with very weak physical talent.
It is precisely because of this that strength and speed are not abilities it can rely on, and it can only choose to hunt by saving energy through electric shock, which is a helpless choice based entirely on survival instinct.
Discharging electricity is the ability that the Thorny Thunder Lizard relies on for survival. It is naturally gifted in this regard. After all, whether it can survive depends entirely on electric shocks.
The electric shock it releases from its horn is not only extremely powerful but also has a wide range, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close to it.
But Qin Zhuo has a 70% lightning resistance attribute, so electric shock is no big deal to him. He only needs to pay attention to the impact of soul power.
But his physical strength is not to be underestimated, and without the conductive function of lightning, the simple energy impact will not be as fast as lightning.
Moreover, for lightning attacks, soul power plays more of a conductor role, only serving as an extension and guide to allow the lightning to spread.
So after Qin Zhuo punched the Thorny Thunder Lizard's horn, he directly chose to possess the spirit to resist the thunder lizard's discharge, and continuously hit the horn with the Red Thunder Sword and fists in his hands.
The explosion of thunder and the pure force of the blow made the Thorn Dragon Lizard feel dizzy. It had to twist its head vigorously, trying to throw Qin Zhuo off.
Perhaps because he relies too much on electric discharge, this guy has grown a huge body in vain and doesn't even know how to use his size to force his opponent.
It's not that Qin Zhuo is arrogant. Facing opponents who rely too much on ice, fire, and thunder attributes, whether they are soul beasts or soul masters, he can easily deal with them.
In fact, if the Thorny Thunder Lizard was smart enough, it could cause Qin Zhuo a lot of trouble whether it used its body to fight back or used pure soul power to oppress.
But it just didn't have such an idea. The energy of the ten thousand year soul beast was very strong, but its IQ had a huge deviation.
Some soul beasts are very smart when they are a thousand years old, while some soul beasts do not have much intelligence even after they are ten thousand years old.
"Third Soul Skill: Thunder Magnetic Domain! Be quiet!"
Qin Zhuo didn't give in to it either. He used an electric Domain to restrain the Thorny Thunder Lizard's head movements. The first and second soul rings lit up at the same time. The Red Thunder struck the base of the horn. At the same time, the White Thunder Sword flew and continuously hit the horn.
The Thorny Thunder Lizard has a good resistance to lightning, and Qin Zhuo has never thought of electrocuting this guy to death. What he needs now is the intensity and frequency of the attacks.
No matter how tough and resilient a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is, it cannot withstand such a frequency of blows. The moment its horn breaks, its entire body collapses, as if it has been hollowed out.
"It's still lacking in terms of attack! Maybe I can find a weapon to hold in my hand..."
Although Swords and knives are not as fancy as soul skills, simple methods are the most effective way.
Even a strong soul saint couldn't withstand the pure physical attack of Tang San's hidden weapons. After using soul skills for a long time, he still had to use a knife to send the soul beast to the road...
The process of absorbing the soul ring went smoothly. After all, the problem of the residual impact was solved by the Void Mirror, so it could not cause any trouble.
"Wow! Just after attaching the fourth soul ring, the soul power has reached level 49. This soul power compression is still not extreme enough!"
Feeling the fluctuation of soul power in his body, Qin Zhuo felt that he would have to stay here for a while longer. After absorbing the soul ring, his soul power directly reached level 49, and he was only one level away from adding another soul ring.
What's the point of going back in this situation? I've reached level 50 after just a few days of training. I was fine when I came here, but I can't go back...
During the years in Spirit City, he had not neglected his soul power training, but in order to make it easier to compress his soul power, he had never attached a fourth soul ring.
However, the growth of soul power is not limited by soul rings. The level cannot be broken through without soul rings, but the growing soul power will always exist.
Before absorbing the fourth soul ring, his actual soul power level should be level 47, and it was compressed soul power.
