Chapter 257 New Evolution
After killing these two adult green dragons, two huge souls floated out. Among the souls that Roy had seen before, ordinary souls were s.h.i.+ning with white light, which was the color of the souls of humans and humanoid creatures under normal conditions. In addition, among the mythical creatures, the souls of angels were golden, and the souls of demons were pitch-black. Although Roy had not obtained the soul of the t.i.tan that he killed in Ulambus, he had seen the dark blue light when the soul appeared.
As for the two dragon souls appearing in front of Roy now, they were colorful or multi-colored!
t.i.tans seemed to have the protection of Mother Earth, so their souls would be recalled by the earth. It was indeed not easy to obtain them if you reacted slowly, but dragon souls were not like this. Roy easily held them in his hands.
This different soul color made Roy curious. Moreover, he had to say that the dragon souls looked extremely beautiful when he held them. The flowing charm and changing colors gave him a dreamlike feeling.
Roy could observe that there seemed to be more green light in these souls. He did not know if this unique soul color was related to the five-colored dragon’s body color, but this was indeed the first time he obtained real dragon souls. As Roy held these two dragon souls, his saliva could not stop secreting. His Soul Devouring Addiction talent was urging his body, wanting Roy to taste the dragon souls.
The souls of angels were truly unpalatable to demons and were of no benefit, but the souls of other races were not necessarily the same. So with this thought, Roy could not help but throw one of the dragon souls into his mouth!
At moment, Roy felt extremely comfortable all over. The taste of a dragon soul was even more delicious than he had imagined!
After the soul entered his mouth, it immediately turned into a marshmallow-like texture that collided with Roy’s mouth. A moment later, it flowed down from his throat into his stomach, then turned into a warm current that quickly spread to his limbs and bones. Roy felt that all the cells in his body were jumping excitedly and restlessly.
Roy did not know if it was an illusion or not, but at this moment, he felt as though his body had entered the state of taking drugs.
Roy understood. He did not expect that the soul of this dragon could increase the activity of demons!
He opened the system interface to see. Sure enough, just the soul of a green dragon and his activity had increased by as much as five. And this was only the improvement from directly swallowing it. If he could use the dragon’s soul to refine a potion like ‘Activity Potion’ to consume, he might be able to obtain more growth.
Roy did not understand why the dragon soul did not increase magic power but activity. But compared to the angel souls that were difficult to swallow, dragon souls were much better.
The activity attribute represented life force and recovery ability. At the same time, this powerful force could give the body stronger resistance. In other words, activity was equivalent to the combined attributes of life and defense!
In fact, after thinking about it carefully, he understood that although dragons had many labels, the ones that should not be ignored the most were their powerful bodies and life force. As they grew older, their dragon scales would become increasingly harder and indestructible. This in itself was a manifestation of powerful activity. Perhaps these characteristics of dragons were brought about by their soul characteristics?
While thinking about it, Roy wondered what benefits t.i.tan souls could bring.
Recalling the scene when the t.i.tan overturned Fat Tiger on the ground in Ulambus, Roy felt that the characteristics of t.i.tan souls might be ‘strength’! Moreover, the mythical creatures like t.i.tans were the descendants of the legendary Mother Earth, G.o.ddess Gaia. Hadn’t people always described their astonis.h.i.+ng strength as indomitable?
I have to kill a few t.i.tans if I have the chance…
Roy put away the remaining green dragon soul in the system s.p.a.ce. Then he saw that the system had actually shown the dragon soul as ‘Soul of Order/Chaos’!
Roy was a little stunned by these words. He had harvested so many souls, and it was the first time he had seen a situation of using two terms to describe the same soul. He could not help but ask the system what was going on.
However, the answer given by the system was quite interesting. The reason why it used two terms at the same time was that creatures like dragons could be the guardians of order, or they could be the destroyers who brought chaos. They could be gentle and kind or tyrannical and evil. Everything depended on the thoughts of the dragons, so their souls had two possibilities at the same time, unlike angels and demons who were at extremes.
No wonder demons can swallow dragon souls without them tasting as disgusting as the holy souls of angels. It turns out that the essence of the souls of dragons contain negative emotions that demons can absorb…
“Are the characteristics of all species determined by their souls?” Roy could not help but ask the system.
“That’s not the case!” the system replied. “The soul directly affects the spirit and will of a being and indirectly affects the shape and genes of the being. In addition, environmental and cultural factors affect the characteristics.”
Roy nodded, feeling that he understood a little. Different species may have different souls, but as different species have the same environment and culture, their souls will have a certain degree of commonality, right?
Roy did not intend to delve too much into this kind of philosophical and mysticism issue. Instead, he thought of another question. I wonder what the system will use to describe the souls of t.i.tans…
After seeing Roy swallow the green dragon soul and being in a daze for a while, Julia was a little worried about him, so she went forward and shook Roy gently to wake him up.
“Are you okay?” Julia asked.
“I’m fine!” Roy grinned. “I didn’t expect the dragon soul to be so delicious. I was a little intoxicated!”
Julia nodded. “Although I can’t eat souls, I know that there are many powerful demons who really like to hunt the souls of dragons…”
“Haha, that means there are gourmets among demons!” Roy laughed self-deprecatingly. He turned around and found Fat Tiger already biting a green dragon’s corpse.
Although he had killed the two green dragons, adult dragons and infant dragons were two completely different concepts. With such ma.s.sive bodies, it would take a long time to roast them with fire. So Julia had already told Fat Tiger that it was impossible to stop and wait for the meat to roast. Fat Tiger was depressed that he could not eat roasted meat, and he had no choice but to eat the meat raw. With Fat Tiger’s current tremendous appet.i.te, the two green dragons were just enough for him to eat. Before long, he eliminated the two green dragons. After eating, Fat Tiger seemed to be a little dispirited. Roy and Julia wanted to sit on him, but seeing that there was something wrong with his condition, they dispelled this thought and paid close attention to Fat Tiger’s situation.
Roy felt a little regretful. He should not have let Fat Tiger eat so much. He was worried that Fat Tiger would grow again, and what he was most afraid of was that he would fall asleep now.
Looking around behind him, Roy felt that if Fat Tiger really fell asleep, he might have to get the death knights to contribute their skeleton warhorses. Then he would make a big cart and let the skeleton warhorses drag Fat Tiger forward…
When Roy thought about this, for some reason, the silent and cold death knights suddenly had an ominous feeling…
Fortunately, the death knights escaped a disaster and did not turn from cavalry to infantry. Although Fat Tiger looked sleepy, he continued walking according to his usual routine and did not fall asleep.
However, because Roy and Julia had been paying attention to him, they discovered that Fat Tiger was gradually changing.
Fat Tiger’s thin hairs, which were originally like steel needles, gradually became wider and larger. From the original slightly fluffy state, these hairs gradually stuck to Fat Tiger’s skin and turned into scales that looked like dragon scales!
Roy felt that this change was inconceivable. Is it because Fat Tiger ate so much dragon meat?
Out of curiosity, Roy walked to Fat Tiger’s leg and poked this scaly fur gently with his nails. He found that they were a little soft and not as hard as he had imagined.
Without a doubt, Fat Tiger entered another state of evolution after eating so much. The green dragon flesh and blood he swallowed seemed to have affected his evolutionary direction…
It could be said that except for the three heads that looked like those of h.e.l.lhounds, the rest of Fat Tiger was beginning to fork off.
“Fat Tiger is fine, right?” Julia asked worriedly.
“No problem. It should be a good thing!” Roy replied after thinking for a moment. “It seems that eating dragons is very beneficial to him. This scaly fur is still relatively fragile, but if he devours enough, it might eventually become as hard as true dragon scales!”
Hearing this, Giovanni wanted to bang his head against a wall. What kind of combination is this? It’s fine if the demon and fallen angel are powerful, but why is even this big pet dog becoming stronger?! In this group, Giovanni initially thought that after Roy and Julia, he could rank third in strength. Now, he found that he was about to be overtaken by a dog… Isn’t this too much of a blow to a vampire?
Just as Giovanni was feeling depressed, Ca.s.sandra’s voice suddenly came from the sky.
“Master, we’re out of the forest and can already see the fortress!”
