Chapter 498
498 Time, Strange Fifth Soul Pet
Crack crack crack…
A crisp sound constantly sounded from the ice pit.
Wang Che first saw a hand.
When he saw this hand, Wang Che’s heart jumped. He roughly knew what it was.
This was because the small palm was segmented. There was no flesh, like white bones made of ice crystals.
Skeleton.
“…”
A moment later, a small ice skeleton crawled out of the ice pit.
It was ice-crystal-colored and had no flesh on its body. It was a humanoid and was about 50 centimeters tall.
“Skeleton?”
Wang Che was really stunned for a long time, “A skeleton hatched from this soul pet egg? Isn’t this birth method a little strange… wait, that egg seems to be a special energy structure.”
This little skeleton looked very ordinary. Other than the ice crystal color of its body, its greatest characteristic was a black shadow in the depths of its eyes. In the depths of the dark shadows, there was a laser-like scarlet color that emitted a cold ancient aura.
“This is a Transcendent soul pet?”
Wang Che pondered and pinched his chin.
It seemed that the Glazed Heavenly King was indeed hiding something.
The little skeleton crawled out of the ice pit, but it didn’t look for its Contract Soul Master like a young soul pet.
Instead, it placed its hands behind its back and looked up at the distant iceberg. There was only confusion and confusion in its eyes.
Its entire body was ice-crystal-colored, and the structure of its body seemed extraordinary.
However, in other aspects…
“Oh right, the life contract…”
Wang Che felt himself and frowned slightly.
It was different from when he had formed a life contract with the Firefly Dream Spirit and could feel the majestic life force.
Now… it felt like nothing.
It was even stranger than the little caterpillar.
“Could it be that it’s not bound by the life contract?”
Wang Che thought for a moment and looked at the little skeleton, “From its form, could this guy have been a human when it was alive? With ice crystals as bones, I can’t tell if it was a man or a woman. The birth of an egg is strange…”
“As for the abilities it has…”
Wang Che used the life contract to sense it and discovered that he did not sense any information about this little skeleton.
It was completely different from when the Firefly Dream Spirit was born. After Wang Che sensed it for a while, he basically knew the general information of the Firefly Dream Spirit.
Even its soul skill sequence was very clear.
But…
“Moreover, my divine sense can’t sense its strength…”
Wang Che was puzzled.
In fact, after birth, there was not even a trace of life.
It was like an inanimate object.
Before it was born, he could still sense life force from the egg.
Good fellow, after being born, he actually could not sense any life force from it.
This was definitely the strangest soul pet Wang Che had encountered.
In reality, skeleton soul pets also existed in the martial soul world.
They were related to ghost-type soul pets, but different from the unique physique of ghost-type soul pets.
A skeleton soul pet was considered a weak soul pet in the martial soul world.
They only appeared in various tombs and had extremely low intelligence. Their source was the mutated corpses of soul beasts after they died. However, because it was too old, these corpses would develop a certain amount of intelligence. Moreover, their growth potential was extremely low and would not be related to the soul beasts when they were alive.
In addition, it had been a long time since the bones of these soul beasts had gradually decayed and were very weak.
In the Fallen Ancient Era, the death toll of soul beasts and humans was the highest in history.
“According to history, about two thousand years ago, various skeleton soul pets appeared. They were all the corpses of those dead soul beasts and humans, mutated creatures. In a sense, it was the end of that era.”
“Two thousand years. That’s because these soul pets are still very popular… unfortunately, as time passed, these skeleton soul pets’ growth and upper limit decreased, causing many Contract Soul Masters to give up nurturing them.”
Wang Che’s mind flashed with the history of such soul pets.
In reality, the reason was very simple. If one wanted to nurture fleshless and emotionless skeletons, why not directly nurture flesh and blood soul pets?
Therefore, there were very few such soul pets in the modern world.
As Wang Che was deep in thought, the little skeleton twisted its body and walked to Wang Che in a daze. Then, it looked up at Wang Che, the confusion in its eyes not decreasing much.
Crack!
Its body seemed to be unstable as it sat on the ice.
Wang Che squatted down and extended a finger.
The little skeleton extended its hand and grabbed Wang Che’s fingers. It struggled to get up. It turned around and looked at the ice pit. It opened its mouth and made cracking sounds.
It could not even speak.
“Is there something inside?” Wang Che asked.
The little skeleton turned its head as if it could not hear Wang Che. Moreover, when it turned, its head immediately let out a cracking sound and fell from its body. It rolled a few times like a ball and landed at Wang Che’s feet.
“…”
Wang Che picked up its head and quickly placed it on its neck. He twisted it a few times and heard a crisp sound before letting go.
No matter what, it was a soul pet he had waited for more than a year.
Wang Che walked over and dug the ice pit. After digging, the ice egg had already shattered.
“Eh, this is…”
Wang Che was slightly stunned.
The ice egg had indeed shattered, but after shattering, there was a soft cloth inside, like a membrane. However, on closer look, he discovered some strange patterns on it.
It should have been born with it.
Or rather, it was in the ice egg.
Moreover, the ice egg fragments seemed to be like prism crystals that could combine into something?
Wang Che’s eyes lit up slightly. The ice egg fragments immediately floated up and quickly combined in the air.
In a moment, a special crown was formed.
A round bone structure resembling a ring.
It was like a crown indeed.
“Ahhh!”
The little skeleton ran over and pointed at the two things, making a muffled sound.
“You want this?” Wang Che asked.
The little skeleton cried out a few times, its confused eyes filled with desire.
It did not seem to have much consciousness and only had an instinctive desire, like a child who was hungry and instinctively wanted to drink milk.
“It was born with its own equipment?”
Wang Che sensed these two things and did not discover anything strange.
Then, Wang Che’s heart jumped. These two things seemed to be hiding something, but they were sealed by a special power.
“Transcendent should be referring to the eggshell of the ice egg and the cloth in this ice egg, right? Could it be that the Transcendent life forms the Glazed Heavenly King and the others sensed are referring to these two?”
Wang Che narrowed his eyes and handed the two things to the little skeleton.
The little skeleton took it in a hurry, but it was a little confused, as if it did not know how to use it.
Wang Che thought for a moment and first put the bone ring on the little skeleton’s head before putting the cloth on it.
Suddenly, its body began to glow.
A unique life force rose from its body.
Almost instantly, Wang Che felt the little skeleton’s message.
From the information he sensed in the life contract, it was as if it had truly gained life at this moment.
However, the information was very short, even shorter than the little caterpillar’s.
Other than the name and race, there was nothing else.
Perhaps there were, but it was probably all question marks.
There was nothing like a soul skill sequence.
“Ahhh!”
The little skeleton suddenly raised its head and puffed out its chest, letting out a high-pitched cry. Although its eyes were blank, it felt that it had an aura that could blot out the sky.
However, there was nothing in the Northern Frost Region.
Other than the howling cold wind…
Especially when the cold wind howled, the ice rocks were blown up by the cold wind and smashed over like rocks.
It hit the little skeleton’s head.
Duang~!
The little skeleton’s head fell with a thud.
The sound stopped.
The crown on the skeleton’s head fell and disappeared.
The black cloth on the little skeleton also disappeared.
“…”
It did not seem to have changed much.
“No…”
Wang Che suddenly looked around and his pupils constricted.
He picked up the little skeleton’s head and installed it again.
He walked to the ice pit again. The ice pit that had been dug returned to its original state.
Wang Che dug calmly. Soon, he found the shattered crystal and the black cloth.
Seeing this, Wang Che whispered, “Time.”
Interesting.
Time changed, and even space was altered.
How did this little skeleton use it?
“Could it be that crown?”
Wang Che frowned slightly and reassembled the crystal in the ice egg. He put it on the little skeleton and draped the black cloth over it.
The little skeleton did not seem to have changed much. This time, it did not cry out. It only came to Wang Che’s feet and cried out.
“You want to cultivate?” Wang Che seemed to understand.
The little skeleton understood this time. Previously, it did not understand Wang Che’s words or sense his meaning.
It nodded in confusion.
“Alright, I’ll teach you how to cultivate,” Wang Che said slowly.
The little skeleton waved the black cloth like a flag. It was very imposing.
Wang Che looked at it and roughly understood.
The skeleton might not be very powerful.
However, the black cloth and the crown contained immense power.
When they were not on its body, those two things were useless.
Only when it wore them could they be effective, as if its soul was bound to them.
However, it could not unleash the strength of these two treasures now.
This little skeleton was very interesting.
“This little thing’s background is not simple… After returning to the war zone, I have to go to the Ice Palace in the Northern Ice Plain to take a look.”
After thinking about this, Wang Che began to think about how to let the little skeleton cultivate.
It was a skeleton, not a conventional life form.
In a sense, soul pets were very similar to demonic beasts.
Their body structure and all aspects had something in common. Therefore, after modifying the demon beast cultivation technique, soul pets could also cultivate it.
For example, the little caterpillar’s Five Elements Profound Clarity Era Record, although not a demonic beast cultivation technique, such cultivation techniques were not limited to humans.
As a cultivation technique that pointed to the Great Dao, there were not many restrictions on race.
However, no matter what cultivation technique it was, there was a precondition: one had to have a physical body.
Without a body, there were only ghost cultivators in the Netherworld.
However, even ghost cultivators needed a soul.
The little skeleton did not have the flesh of a normal life form. No cultivation technique was suitable for it.
Ghost cultivators were even more unsuitable.
In reality, ghost cultivator cultivation techniques were quite suitable for ghost-type soul pets.
Wang Che had many powerful ghost cultivation techniques.
Ghost-type soul pets were spirit bodies and could be said to be very compatible with ghost cultivation techniques.
However, Wang Che didn’t have a ghost-type soul pet.
Devil-type soul pets had unique bodies that were innately stronger and more compatible with devil cultivation techniques.
Similarly, the one most compatible with demon cultivation techniques was actually a demon spirit-type soul pet.
“Skeletal frame, a soul of light…”
Wang Che pondered and said, “The Heavenly Bone Emperor of the Nether Capital World once had a magical cultivation technique. That guy was only a skeleton in the past, so it’s a little compatible with you.”
“However, if you want to cultivate that cultivation technique, you first have to cultivate an indestructible spirit skeleton body.”
“Your crown has the power to control time. This black cloth should most likely contain the power of ice. Moreover, it’s not just the power of ice, but also the power of decay.”
“It looks a little like the unique power of reincarnation…”
Wang Che narrowed his eyes and looked at the black cloth.
In fact, the power of reincarnation was not a very mysterious and awesome power.
Instead, it was a power that could allow one to be reborn.
In the universe, many lives actually had this unique power to constantly be reborn in different worlds.
If it worked well, it would be very powerful.
If it did not work well, they would be lost in the world forever. In essence, it still depended on how one used it.
“To be able to become like this, you probably have a lot to do with this world.”
“Ah?” The little skeleton tilted its head and glanced at Wang Che.
Its head almost fell off again.
Its body was very weak and it was born with loose bones.
“However, you have a life force and a unique soul light in your skull. It doesn’t matter even if your body is shattered. With this life force soul light, you can constantly reconstruct your body. It’s your characteristic.”
Wang Che pondered and said, “Moreover, the advantage is that you can’t feel pain.”
He looked around, “If you want to cultivate, you have to have a good body. You should be able to find an extremely good Profound Ice Mine here. If you can nurture the ten-thousand-year Profound Ice, your ice bones should be able to be changed.”
“Hmm… Speaking of which, compared to the Magnetic Sword, you have more potential to become a Mechanical Overlord.”
“After all, there aren’t many soul pets that aren’t afraid of pain and can change their bodies at will.”
The little skeleton looked at Wang Che in confusion.
“Let’s go. I won’t cultivate for the time being. I’ll change your body first.”
“Your ice bones are too ordinary.”
Wang Che brought the little skeleton deeper into the Northern Frost Region.
There should be an ice mine underground.
The little skeleton wore the black cloth like a cloak and followed Wang Che. However, after taking two steps, its body began to slip.
Seeing this, Wang Che picked it up and walked towards the Northern Frost Region.
The Firefly Dream Spirit had discovered more than 30 mines in the Northern Frost Region.
However, most of the mines had soul crystals. They were rare, but not what Wang Che needed.
There were only two special ice crystal mines.
Wang Che knew the location. After a while, he found the ice mine.
“There are currently two ways to change your bones.”
Wang Che asked, “One is that I help you refine a body and alter it directly. This way, you will feel very strong for a short period of time.”
As he spoke, Wang Che punched the ice, and it immediately shattered into a huge spiderweb.
“But it will take you a long time to adapt.”
“The other is to directly absorb the energy in these ice crystals to temper your body.”
“You won’t feel very strong in the short term, but because the process is slow, you can adapt very well.”
Wang Che drew two cultivation routes on the ice and indicated them with a pattern.
In the end, its entire body glowed, indicating that its body had become very powerful.
“Which one do you choose?” Wang Che asked.
The little skeleton pointed at the second one.
