Chapter 612: Left alone, waiting for the right moment to strike, the captured Soul Devouring Staff r

Until late at night, when everything was quiet, Kashin suddenly felt something strange, and an indescribable uneasiness surged in his heart.

He was originally immersed in a state of meditation, trying to explore the power and wisdom deep in his heart, but this sudden feeling forced him to wake up suddenly.

After all, it all goes back to the shadow priest who was tortured by Kashen in the forest.

At that time, Kashin was holding an iron rod with auspicious cloud patterns and soul space. However, in fact, it was not just an iron rod, but a cleverly disguised magic wand!

At this moment, Kashin was lying quietly on the wooden beams of the ceiling, like a cheetah hiding in the dark.

At this moment, the iron rod stored in the space ring began to vibrate violently, as if it had life.

You know, this iron rod is something Kashin has taken possession of with his own blood and soul power! Its abnormal vibration naturally made it impossible for Kashin to remain calm and peaceful.

So Kashin carefully took out the staff from the package. Under the weak light, the staff exuded a mysterious and ancient aura.

He held it gently in his hands and began to study it carefully, as if it were a rare treasure. His eyes were full of concentration and curiosity, and he did not miss any details on the staff...

As a result, when Kashin held the staff in his hand, his eyes changed strangely in an instant.

He saw a large number of souls, which were like erratic ghosts, wandering in front of his eyes. This sudden scene also frightened Kashin, his body shook slightly, and his eyes widened.

One thing he was very sure of was that if he didn't hold the iron rod, he would never be able to see it. This made him very curious about the relationship between the iron rod and these souls.

What’s even more amazing is that with the iron rod, these wronged souls will gather together.

They seem to have an instinctive affinity for iron rods. As long as the iron rod is nearby, they will come closer, but they dare not get close. It is a feeling of both joy and fear.

Kashin had previously witnessed priests collecting corpses, and those priests solemnly threatened to hold a burial at sea ceremony to purify the souls of their colleagues.

But now it seems that they did not dispel these souls at all, and perhaps these believers were just deceiving themselves.

Kashin couldn't help but feel disdain for the behavior of these priests. They were waving the banner of holiness, but were actually deceiving people.

Blainey once said something about the soul, which Kashin certainly chose not to believe. In this world, there are many sayings about the soul, and there is always one kind of saying that is used to scare people.

Once people believe these words, they are bound by invisible shackles and become slaves.

Just like the Lord preached by the church, the Lord of All Difficulties is claimed to be able to judge souls, but in Kashin's view, this is just a means for the church to control people's hearts.

Therefore, many people were frightened by the Lord’s words, and the church took advantage of people’s fear to make money and commit fraud.

They collect money from believers under various names, saying it is for the salvation of souls and for the blessing of God, but in reality all the money goes into the pockets of the church's top brass.

Kashin decided to test this phenomenon. He first hid the iron rod, and at that moment, the souls that were visible before disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.

Then he picked up the iron rod again, and the souls appeared in front of him again. Kashin was not afraid of these souls. Instead, in the process of studying the staff, he found that the staff seemed to have the ability to control these souls.

So, Kashin began to try to inject his mental power into the internal structure of the staff. He closed his eyes, concentrated his mental power, and slowly injected it into the staff.

He could feel his spiritual power wandering in the space inside the staff, exploring this mysterious space that held souls. He found that a strand of his soul was like his own spirit, spreading in this space. When an idea came into his mind, this strand of soul could gather together again, like a substance like smoke and dust.

Just at this moment, something wonderful happened.

A soul was sucked into this soul space, and then this soul became entangled with Kashin's soul.

Kashin observed this phenomenon carefully and finally understood the secret: his soul would devour other souls.

In this special space inside the staff, it was like his home court, so he was certainly not afraid of the entanglement between souls.

In order to further verify his idea, Kashin injected more mental power into his own soul. As the mental power was injected, the two souls entangled and only his own soul remained, while the other was swallowed up.

This discovery made Kashin suddenly realize...

He realized that the shadow priest had been deceiving him. This staff was made by him. If he were allowed to enter the staff space, the soul that he recognized as his master would not be his match at all.

If he devoured my soul, wouldn't I be controlled by this staff? Kashen couldn't help but feel a little scared, and at the same time, he was angry at the dark priest's cunning and treacherous behavior.

Naturally, if that soul was devoured by someone, it could use the iron rod to control its mind. As the dark priest's soul became stronger and stronger, he became a puppet.

"Haha! There are too many cunning people in the world, and there are traps everywhere. If you are not careful, you will be ambushed, but you will escape the disaster." This is what Kashin thought.

Any words that are very favorable to oneself are most likely false.

The staff was placed on the beam. Kashen entered into meditation, infused it with mental power, and observed how his soul devoured them.

At this moment, the soul almost automatically activated the staff to absorb the soul and devour it. Kashin also continued to inject mental power to help the soul...

This virtual soul space became pitch black. The souls fought more and more bravely, easily devouring the souls one after another.

In the blink of an eye, it was dawn and the lower cabin was bustling with activity. The priest, cursing, ordered the supplies delivered yesterday to be thrown away. They were found to be poisonous, so they were not dared to eat them.

Kashin heard it clearly, the priests' curses...

"Damn it, the fresh water in the watertight compartment is poisonous. They must have poisoned it when they occupied the sailor's compartment yesterday.

What should we do? The reason why the watertight compartments are connected is to ensure the balance of the hull. It’s bad, all the fresh water cannot be used."

"Sir, there are only a few bottles of fresh water that have not been opened, perhaps they can still be drunk."

"Let's wait and see. The more fresh water we can find, the better. All colleagues will be supplied with fresh water in limited quantities."

Some fresh water was indeed found and was carefully guarded, and the priests discussed fresh water control and tried to obtain supplies from ports in other countries.

"Demons who poisoned the water, may darkness devour your soul and let you fall into the abyss of pain forever without escape. May God bring disaster upon you, causing you to suffer endless tribulations and be plagued by bad luck~~".

Kashin didn't mind the priests' curses. If there was a problem with the fresh water, he just had to wait patiently. He didn't have to do anything. They would die of thirst on their own.

So the watertight compartments were drained, and the valves were opened to let in seawater for repeated flushing. The priests were very busy and kept cursing...
