Book 4: Near Blood - Chapter 111: Soulless (1/2)

Upon returning to the cave, Su Chen tossed the Ferocious Race soldier he had been carrying onto the ground

The Ferocious Race soldiers originally being held captive by hi who the new captive was, they were stunned

“Soulless! He’s a Soulless?”

“Soulless?” Su Chen’s eyebrows juana was coainst him”

Like the Bone Diviners, the Soulless were also produced by the Divine Shrine

However, Soulless were not meant to deal with humans but rather, the Spirit Race

Because of their innately weak consciousness, the Ferocious Race were at a huge disadvantage when trying to defend theainst consciousness attacks As such, the Ferocious Race feared the consciousness-enslaving Spirit Race the ainst the Spirit Race only once across all of history, but that was enough to make the Ferocious Race never dare not provoke the Spirit Race again

During that battle, the Ferocious Race had sent out three hundred thousand troops, while the Spirit Race had only sent out three thousand soldiers

However, these three thousand Spirit Race soldiers had etched their ihtmares of countless Ferocious Race soldiers When the waves of Ferocious Race soldiers had surged forth, they had suddenly begun turning on each other and killing their own comrades This battle had really been a calamity for them

Afterwards, the Ferocious Race personally withdrew fro the Wanlai Caves to the Spirit Race Fortunately for the and experi, so their requirements for territory were quite low This was the only reason why the Ferocious Race had been able to survive

The Soulless were conceptualized under these kinds of circumstances

In other words, these people basically had no souls It was precisely because they had no souls that they couldn’t be controlled via their consciousnesses They were essentially the sa corpses

This was also why the Ferocious Race youth hadn’t uttered a single hen fighting with Su Chen

He couldn’t even speak At most, all he could do was instinctively howl

Soulless were pretty hard to come by Merciless methods were needed to strip a person of their will, and once a person becath would be forever locked in place and couldn’t improve

For this reason, an actual Soulless was hard to find They were usually selected froroup of death row criminals ere quite powerful Even so, the chance of failure was quite high — the success rate was only one out of every ten tries
