Chapter 149 Bone Extraction (Part Two)
Xiao Xiao's scream startled Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong awake. Seeing Xiao Xiao's pained expression, Wang Dong quickly asked, "Elder Xuan, what happened to Xiao Xiao?"
Elder Xuan frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "Backlash from the soul bone. The energy contained in the right paw bone of this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is too domineering. Xiao Xiao's right paw cannot suppress its power."
Huo Yuhao asked anxiously, "What do we do now?"
Elder Xuan said with a bitter expression, "If this continues, I'm afraid her arm will..."
"Ah?" Wang Dong exclaimed in surprise, "Elder Xuan, is there no other way? Even your power can't suppress the power of this soul bone?"
Elder Xuan shook his head and said, "No. Forcibly suppressing it would be like detonating this power, which would only cause Xiao Xiao to lose her arm sooner. If I didn't have a right arm soul bone, I could try to draw out the right palm bone of this Dark Gold Terror Claw, but I already have a right arm bone and cannot absorb it."
Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he realized that among the three people present, only he could absorb this soul bone in place of Xiao Xiao.
"I'll do it; perhaps I can withstand this soul bone!"
"you?"
A look of shock appeared in Elder Xuan's eyes. Huo Yuhao had chosen to exchange his right hand for Xiao Xiao's right hand.
However, Elder Xuan still spoke up to dissuade him:
"Yuhao, your cultivation hasn't even broken through level 30 yet. If Xiaoxiao can't withstand it, I doubt you'll either..."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao fell silent.
Wang Dong, standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "Xiao Xiao has already absorbed two soul bones, yet she still couldn't withstand this dark gold terror claw. You haven't even absorbed a single soul bone yet. Even if you took Xiao Xiao's place, you might not be able to withstand it!"
"But Xiao Xiao, she..."
Seeing Xiao Xiao's once delicate and beautiful face now contorted with intense pain, her body even convulsing from time to time, Huo Yuhao felt extremely tormented.
"Instead of absorbing soul bones... The Star Dou Great Forest is so vast, there might be other soul masters hunting souls, perhaps we can find one..."
Before Huo Yuhao could finish speaking, Elder Xuan rejected his words: "Right now, I must suppress the soul bone with all my might just to barely prevent the backlash from erupting. I simply don't have the time to look for anyone else. As for you? The Star Dou Great Forest is so vast. By the time you return, this soul bone will have already absorbed countless amounts of my soul power. I doubt even a Title Douluo could absorb it all."
Xiao Xiao's right arm was swelling, and it had even torn her clothes.
Logically speaking, even if this soul bone were to self-destruct, the suppression of Elder Xuan's immense soul power should have prevented it from exploding. However, this dark gold dinosaur claw was in the fusion stage, which is the stage where soul bones are most likely to absorb external energy to grow.
But precisely because of this, the energized soul bone is frantically absorbing the soul power that Elder Xuan used to suppress the soul bone, and using it to strengthen itself.
If this drags on any longer, this soul bone might actually advance rapidly to the ten-thousand-year level, comparable to an ordinary one-hundred-thousand-year soul bone (I'm talking about you, Soft Bone Rabbit).
"If the person can't do it, what about the soul tool?"
Huo Yuhao suddenly looked up at Elder Xuan.
"What?!" Elder Xuan seemed not to understand Huo Yuhao's meaning.
"If I carve a soul tool that mimics the right hand, is it possible for it to absorb soul bones in place of a person's right hand?!"
This……
Elder Xuan's first reaction was that it was impossible, but given the current situation...
"Anyway, there's no other way right now, so you can try making one first."
At this moment, Elder Xuan had to be careful to suppress the soul bone. In order to prevent the soul bone from growing too much, except for the first time, Elder Xuan did not use his own soul power to suppress it. Instead, he relied on his level 98 cultivation to forcibly absorb the surrounding soul power and compress it to a level that could barely suppress the soul bone, in order to delay the time as much as possible.
Even so, the growth rate of the soul bone is gradually increasing. When it begins to absorb the Xuan Elder's soul power, that will be the point where the soul bone is completely beyond our control.
Even if Xiao Xiao's right hand is forcibly cut off, the soul power from the exploding soul bone might be comparable to an eighth or even ninth-level fixed soul tool.
Now it's a matter of whether Huo Yuhao or the soul bone is faster.
Watching Huo Yuhao take out a piece of rare metal and begin carving, Wang Dong bit his lip tightly.
If only I hadn't been so eager to absorb that Light-Breaking Demon Right Arm Bone, I could have absorbed the soul bone for Xiao Xiao immediately.
Instead of just watching from the sidelines and hoping that Huo Yuhao will succeed.
"The veins are carved directly onto the main trunk, and powdered bloodstone is inlaid into the patterns..."
"Don't forget to set up the attribute array. If you use your soul power to directly activate the soul bone, it might bypass the soul tool and rush straight into your hand..."
Electrolux's voice rang out from time to time, pointing out Huo Yuhao's movements.
Although it appears that Huo Yuhao is the one sculpting, it is actually Electrolux himself who is personally directing Huo Yuhao's body to sculpt the patterns.
When it comes to who understands the human body best, it's undoubtedly the necromancer, Elex.
Although Electrolux primarily studies the spiritual realm, having raised so many skeletons, he still understands how to simulate human beings to exert their abilities.
At this moment, what Huo Yuhao needed was to create a fake hand that could respond to the laws, so that the soul bone would mistake it for a real right hand.
At Huo Yuhao's level, he was certainly not qualified to come into contact with the laws. Even just resonating with the laws required a fully formed cultivation technique, and he relied entirely on Electrolux to guide him.
The first soul skill—Mental Sharing—is running at full power. Huo Yuhao is currently following Electrolux's will and wielding the carving knife in his hand, completely abandoning his own thoughts. Even the action of carving these patterns is based on Electrolux's empathy.
Wang Dong, standing to the side, saw Huo Yuhao's eyes gleaming with golden light as his right hand, holding a carving knife, rapidly engraved on a rare metal. The speed was so fast that afterimages appeared, each afterimage leaving a trail of metal wire behind...
Gradually, a metal skeleton shimmering with strange patterns took shape in Huo Yuhao's hands.
He took out the paralyzing ray he bought at the auction, crushed it, exposing the core magic array inside, and took out the soul power conversion array and put it into the metal hand bone.
"Elder Xuan, quick! Input your soul power into the core array and control the converted soul power to replace Xiao Xiao in absorbing the soul bone!"
Huo Yuhao explained the use of the metal hand bones in a very fast-paced manner.
Elder Xuan quickly freed one hand to catch the flying metal hand bone, separated a wisp of soul power and injected it into the core magic array, guiding the converted soul power to make contact with Xiao Xiao's right palm.
At the same time, Elder Xuan mobilized his profound power to suppress the frenzied power of the Dark Gold Terror Claw. With the passage provided by the metal hand bone, the frenzied power of the Dark Gold Terror Claw spread to the metal hand bone through this gap.
Perhaps because the metal hand bone itself is metallic, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw felt that this new master was extremely compatible with it and very willingly integrated into the metal palm.
