Chapter 187: Chapter 187

Suddenly, a swallowing sound came through the fog, followed by a series of footsteps.

Through the fog, Su Yan saw a tall, indistinct figure. It was marching towards him from beyond the fog with unhurried steps. Soon enough, the figure emerged. It was a burly man—no, to be precise, it was the corpse of a burly man. Though covered in dust and with disheveled hair, the Bronze Short Sword in his hand lent him an air of Tyrant’s Aura, exuding waves of majesty.

Su Yan assessed the anciently dressed male corpse before him, and a Creature Information Panel quickly popped out from the depths of his mind.

[Species]: Soul Tribe

Su Yan first glanced at the Creature Information Panel, and then he was overcome with ecstasy!

What a catch! Its Creature Level is Rare! This is a big one!

While Su Yan was thinking this, the tall male corpse spoke.

"I am Emperor Qin Shi. After my death, I caused a great uproar in the Underworld and took control of a million Underworld Soldiers. Now, I only need a mouthful of Yang Energy to break all the Underworld’s seals on me. Then I can summon the Underworld Soldiers to serve me once more.

"Give me a mouthful of Yang Energy. Once I break the seals, I will grant you the position of Manager of Underworld Soldiers. You’ll be second only to me, commanding respect wherever you go, and your popularity will skyrocket! What do you think, sir?"

Faced with the deception from the tall male corpse before him, Su Yan felt somewhat speechless.

Controlling a million Underworld Soldiers... Popularity skyrocketing wherever you go... This is ridiculous... So all those bot followers on old Weibo are your handiwork, huh? I despise those celebrities with millions, even tens of millions, of bot followers! A million Underworld Soldiers, you say? Go to hell!

With this thought, Su Yan unleashed a swift punch, blasting the tall male corpse before him.

The tall male corpse, who had been plotting to deceive others just a moment ago, had its head blown apart by the punch. It instantly crumbled into a pile of yellow dust scattered on the ground.

After blowing the tall male corpse apart with a punch, Su Yan bent down, brushed aside the yellow earth, and picked up a smooth, grey-black Soul Bead.

[Soul Bead of a Rare Soul Tribe Member]: The core of a Soul Tribe member. It contains a large amount of Yin Essences. Keeping it nearby can nourish the soul and bolster one’s spirits.

Nourish the soul and bolster the spirits? This is the first time I’ve gotten such a great item.

While Su Yan was thinking, several prompts popped up again from the depths of his mind.

[Soul Bead of a Rare Soul Tribe Member Detected]

[Do you choose to Devour?]

[After Devouring, it can greatly enhance spiritual power, increase adaptability to Yin Energy, significantly nourish the Three Souls and Six Spirits, and reinforce consciousness.]

Hey, not bad... The effects of Devouring are quite numerous... I’ve really hit the jackpot this time...

With this thought, Su Yan unhesitatingly Devoured the Rare Soul Bead in his hand.

[Swallowing Successful]

[Spiritual Power +9+9+9...]

[Yin Energy Adaptability +1+1+1...]

[Three Souls and Six Spirits +3+6+3...]

[Consciousness +1+1+1...]

"HISS... That feels good!"

The instant his attributes were enhanced, Su Yan couldn’t help but groan in pleasure. The attribute gains were immense and surged powerfully. Especially regarding his Three Souls and Six Spirits; it felt as if his entire soul had become significantly more stable all at once.

If he had the chance to enter the Mirror World again, Su Yan felt he wouldn’t experience the same discomfort as before upon entering. Moreover, he might now be able to withstand some Creature Skills that targeted the soul.

"Just for the Soul Bead I’ve just Devoured, the trip tonight has been worth it," he said.

With that, Su Yan continued to delve deeper into the Chaotic Graveyard. He wanted to take advantage of the two hours remaining before dawn, so he pressed on to hunt more Yin Entities and increase his attributes as much as possible.

As he walked on, Su Yan soon spotted a large tomb ahead, nestled amidst overgrown weeds. The grass on the tomb mound was several meters high, and a hazy white fog surrounded it, similar to the tomb of the tall male corpse he had seen earlier.

It seems this is the territory of another Rare-level Soul Tribe member.

Thinking this, Su Yan took the initiative, plunging into the white fog. He disappeared, intending to search for any Rare-level Soul Tribe members that might be within the tomb.

When Su Yan reached the tombstone, he faintly heard a damp, muffled sound from behind it, as if something was stirring there.

Probably a Soul Tribe member behind the tombstone...

Thinking this, Su Yan carefully circled to the back of the tombstone. What greeted his eyes was an alluring noblewoman in ancient attire. She appeared to be between thirty and forty, exuding an aura of mature charm.

Su Yan observed the noblewoman. Soon enough, a Creature Information Panel predictably popped up from the depths of his mind.

[Species]: Soul Tribe

[Skill]: Yang Absorption

Sure enough, another Rare-level Soul Tribe member.

Su Yan looked at the noblewoman, who was still engrossed in fiddling with her fingers, and felt a surge of exhilaration.

Sensing the spread of pure Yang energy nearby, the noblewoman, who was slumped against the tombstone, immediately looked in its direction. Her beautiful eyes instantly fell upon the strikingly handsome Su Yan, and a blush crept onto her face.

Inhaling the pure Yang Energy emanating from Su Yan, the noblewoman couldn’t help but let out a moan. Then, her fair hands braced against the tombstone behind her. Her long, snow-white legs uncoiled from the ground as she rose to her feet.
