Chapter 383 Phantom Fire Dog
The fishy smell filled every corner of the mouth.
The red viscous liquid, like a ball of fire, went down the esophagus and into the stomach.
His body shook, and in an instant he felt hot all over his body. A huge blood-red Pixiu phantom appeared in front of him, roaring angrily at the sky.
His vision was black and red, covered with countless gray spots, and his ears seemed to be filled with the continuous roar of monsters.
If someone was here, they would definitely find that Han Ning's face was extremely pale at this time, and sweat beads were faintly oozing from his forehead, as if he was enduring great pain.
Time passed, as if a long time had passed, and as if it was just a moment.
He suddenly felt that his mental power was infinitely elevated, and a strange, foggy and twisted space appeared in his mind.
The mental power from the purple crystal world and this strange foggy space formed two special areas, which were clearly separated and did not interfere with each other, but did not merge with each other.
On the left, there was a starry sky scene like the Four Symbols Meditation Method.
On the right, the sea of blood was surging, like a region, giving people a sense of despair.
Just after the ceremony was completed, a fierce breath suddenly emerged from the blood sea space and rushed into the depths of his consciousness.
But the next second, it was torn into pieces by the spiritual power from the Four Symbols Space.
As the fierce and bloodthirsty breath disappeared.
He suddenly opened his eyes with a distorted face, replaced by a comfortable expression.
The ceremony is not over!
He recalled the content of the ceremony, put his finger on the brow of the puppy in his arms, and outlined a strange pattern in his mind.
"Woof~"
Accompanied by a faint cry from the puppy, Han Ning suddenly discovered that a pale mark like a ghost suddenly appeared in his spiritual world of the blood sea.
When the mark was generated, he felt an inexplicable connection with the puppy. In the vagueness, he could feel its breath of life and emotional fluctuations.
It seemed that there was a mysterious energy, through a magical bond, projected from the puppy to his body, feeding back to his brain and body.
Then, the energy was transferred from his body to the puppy's body.
It was not much different from the previous contract with other soul beasts.
"The total amount of spirit has increased slightly, about the level of 2.5. Although these two kinds of spirit power are incompatible in space, they can be integrated together when used to increase the strength of spirit. Magic!"
He stretched out his hand and tried to use the ability of level 2 to gather spiritual energy.
Snap!
As the white starlight gathered, dark red fragments of lightning flashed on the periphery.
The little dog at his feet also changed a lot.
The original yellowish hair turned into a bone-like forest white.
The whole body was forest white, and the eyes were slightly red, giving people a weird and mysterious feeling.
Its size grew larger, from two small puppies the size of two palms, to the size of an adult dog.
For some reason, when Han Ning saw the puppy in front of him, he inexplicably had a strange idea that it looked like Furui's form of A Yu.
"Woof~"
After signing the contract, the puppy's intimacy with Han Ning increased further. It kept pulling at his trouser legs, sticking out its tongue, and wanted to get into the owner's arms.
Han Ning picked it up by the waist, rubbed its furry belly with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Since you have become a part of our family, let's give you a name."
"Well... you are still a little sister with white hair, how about calling you Shuangyu?"
The puppy didn't understand what Shuangyu meant. After Han Ning called it repeatedly several times, it vaguely understood that the owner was calling it.
"Shuangyu!"
"Woof woof!"
Little Shuangyu responded happily.
"Hiss..."
Danbing blinked his snake eyes and looked at Shuangyu with some curiosity.
Even though the owner had just signed a contract with it, Danbing didn't feel any special connection with Shuangyu.
In the past, it could feel the presence of Sister Yinyi, Brother Xiaofeican, Sister Feilin, and Brother Huaimiao!
As the contracted soul beasts of the beastmaster, the soul beasts also have spiritual links and communicate with each other.
"Hiss?" Egg pancake expressed confusion.
"Well... I don't quite understand either. It may be that the places where you contracted are different. Anyway, if we want to become stronger in the future, we have to rely on this little sister Shuangyu."
Han Ning put the egg pancake on Shuangyu's dog head and patted the two little guys gently.
"By the way, Shuangyu's spiritual energy fluctuations are probably around the entry level now, but I don't know what qualifications it is. It's really starting from scratch."
The panel fell into hibernation and lacked identification functions. He didn't know Shuangyu's specific information for a while, so he could only test it himself.
He went to the bedroom and found a game peripheral doll that the company had distributed for free before, and put it on the floor of the small living room.
Just like when he trained Yinyi, he pointed at the little doll and said, "Shuangyu, release the soul skills you know and attack the little doll."
"Woof!"
Shuangyu swung his tail and ran to a position about two meters in front of the doll.
A faint spiritual energy fluctuation came.
Three swaying white flames suddenly appeared around the puppy's bone-white body.
One of the white flames, guided by Frost Jade, floated up, drew a graceful arc, and landed on the doll.
Wow~
The cat-sized doll was instantly swallowed by the white flame.
Under Han Ning's gaze, it quickly turned into a pile of black ash.
"This kind of flame... seems to be not only burning, but also not very hot."
He walked over to the fragment of the doll that still contained the embers, stretched out his hand, and touched the embers.
In an instant, the flame that was about to disappear jumped to his fingertips like a shark that discovered the fishy smell.
"Hiss... it also has the effect of burning the spirit. Judging from this soul skill alone, Shuang Yu's qualifications should not be low."
Feeling that the mental power in his mind was slightly reduced by 0.000001%, Han Ning suddenly extinguished the flame.
"Is there anything else?"
He turned to look at the puppy beside him who had three flames restored again, and smiled.
"Wow~"
Shuangyu held her head high, put her paw to her mouth, and blew gently.
Several streaks of white flame burned on its sharp claws.
Then, it stood upright, waved twice in the air, sending out a faint afterimage of flames, then clicked again, got down on all fours and lay on the ground, its movements were very naive.
"Any more?"
"Woof~"
Shuangyu thought for a while and squatted on the spot with some frustration.
Seeing how powerful Shuang Yu was, Egg Pancake took the initiative to stick out his tongue and touched Han Ning's neck: "Hiss!!"
Egg Pancake said that he had never been so weak in the Amethyst World, even when he was just born!
It really wants to become stronger quickly and go find Sister Yinyi and Brother Little Fat Silkworm!
"emm... Don't worry, Egg Pancake. I don't know how to help you become stronger at the moment. Let's wait until we have initially integrated into this place and then find a way, okay?" Han Ning touched Egg Pancake's little head. He said with relief.
Here and Amethyst are following two completely incompatible beast control schools. In order to make Egg Pancake stronger, Han Ning estimated that he might need to wake up the panel or explore more information.
"Hiss~" The egg pancake drooped weakly. It was very sensible and did not bother Han Ning anymore, but it felt frustrated by its weakness!
Han Ning was helpless for the time being and turned his attention to Shuangyu again.
"Strictly speaking, I have mastered a kind of white flame. Let's temporarily name it the ghost flame."
The nature of the flame is very similar to the flame released by the Star Dream Unicorn. It is an undead flame. Although its destructive power is not as high as that of normal elemental flames, it is more weird than it is. It is a thing that most living creatures are afraid of.
"Shuangyu's racial name is also temporarily called Netherfire Dog."
Han Ning estimated that Shuangyu's qualifications should be D or C.
Just buy a puppy from the market and perform the transformation ritual according to the instructions on the Pixiu Jade Pendant, and you can turn an ordinary little farm dog into such a powerful spirit beast.
Han Ning had to take a high look at the inheritance of this jade pendant.
The characteristics of the culinary expert were removed, and the color of the jade pendant in his arms became dim. With a slight touch, a series of information about Sequence 8 emerged in his brain.
[Sequence 8: Ghoul]
[Characteristics·Quick Healing]: Ghouls and contracted soul beasts will gain the ability to heal quickly, and their physical strength will be improved to a certain extent.
[Characteristic: Flesh Cutting]: Under the spiritual amplification of the ghoul, every time one's own soul beast attacks the enemy, once damage is caused, a certain amount of life essence will be taken away from the opponent's body.
[Characteristics·Contract]: ...the maximum limit of contracted soul beasts is changed to 2.
[Promotion conditions]: 200ml of own blood, ghoul secret medicine.
[Promotion Ceremony]: Completely dismember a soul beast of the same level and drink the secret ghoul medicine.
[Ghoul Secret Medicine Recipe]: Ghoul Characteristics
"The most important thing is this so-called 'characteristic' thing. Jade Pendant doesn't seem to provide related things. I don't know where to find this thing."
There is no doubt that if you want to find Yinyi and the others, dig out the secrets of this world, and quickly improve your own strength, it is the simplest and crudest way.
"All of this starts with this murder case."
Han Ning's eyes flickered and she took out her mobile phone.
…
night.
On the south side of Ludao, outside a three-story villa near the suburbs.
Before Han Ning could get close, he could only hear bursts of shrill cries coming from behind the slightly covered iron door at the entrance of the villa.
"Woooooooo..."
Hearing this sad cry, Han Ning's expression was calm.
He knocked lightly on the iron door and pushed it open.
Many people gathered in the brightly lit front yard.
A middle-aged man in charge saw a stranger suddenly enter the yard. He subconsciously stood up and stood in front of Han Ning, with a wary look on his face: "Who are you?"
Han Ning showed a trace of sadness on his face: "I am Li Lu's colleague. Come here to see if there is anything I can do to help. Here is my relevant ID."
He handed his ID to the middle-aged man and told some stories about his predecessor and Li Lu's daily interactions to gain the other person's trust.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression softened. He returned the ID to Han Ning, took out two more cigarettes and handed them over. He pointed to a table not far away with his other hand:
"Thank you, young man. I am Li Lu's second uncle. Please sit at that table. There are friends over there who are here to help."
"Thanks."
Han Ning followed the middle-aged man's instructions and walked to a square table to sit down.
There were six men and women sitting at this table. He briefly introduced himself and exchanged identities with these people.
The other people included Li Lu's classmates, childhood friends, and some friends in society. As for colleagues in the company, he was the only one at present.
After all, such a strange thing happened. People in the company would rather hide at home and not come out. How dare they come to Li Lu's funeral to help?
Hearing that he was Li Lu's colleague, the other people showed great interest.
Didn't Li Lu suddenly encounter an accident after a party with colleagues in the company!
"Handsome guy, can you tell me the specific details of the time? Li Lu's death is very strange." A young man with clear eyebrows and fair skin poured a cup of tea for Han Ning and whispered.
This person is Li Lu's high school classmate named Xu Ping.
"I don't know too much. When the incident happened, she was not actually with us."
Han Ning roughly talked about his experience on the night of the incident.
Even so, the few people who listened looked at each other in bewilderment.
People like to imagine things. Han Ning's words seemed to put them in the middle of it, and the air around them seemed to have a bit of a weird atmosphere, becoming icy and piercing.
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Han Ning glanced at the group of people who were talking in a low voice in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "Are these all Li Lu's relatives? Is there anything we can do to help them?"
Xu Ping nodded: "Yes, that is Li Lu's uncle, and that is her aunt... aunt, second aunt, second uncle's daughter..."
He knew Li Lu's family very well, so Han Ning learned the identities of most of the people present.
"They are now discussing whether to go to your company tomorrow to make trouble and fight for more compensation."
"As for helping, Li Lu's body is still in the morgue, and we are not needed for other things for the time being."
Xu Ping said carefully.
Han Ning was not a partner of the company, so he did not have too many emotions about this. He nodded in understanding and continued to ask: "Does Li Lu have a boyfriend? Who is she usually close to?"
He did not expect that after this question came out, the faces of several people at the scene became a little embarrassed.
Two people subconsciously turned their eyes to Xu Ping, and then quickly moved away.
Xu Ping was very calm: "As far as I know, Li Lu currently has no boyfriend. Of course, it is not ruled out that he has a relationship with someone who has not yet told us. As for the people who are usually close to him..."
As he said, his eyes inadvertently glanced at a petite girl opposite.
Han Ning followed his gaze and suddenly felt that this person was a little familiar.
It should be that he had seen her in the police station earlier and was called to ask about the relevant situation by the uniform.
"My name is Zheng Yingping, and I am Lulu's best friend..." After this happened, she was not in a good mood. She lowered her head and her tone was a little sobbing.
