"Come on, come on."
Two days later, at the entrance of Spirit Hall.
The group took their belongings and boarded the carriage one after another. Su Yuntao flicked the reins and set off.
"Why do we need to bring so many things?" Xiao Wu was not used to the silence during the journey, so she took the initiative to start a conversation and shook the huge package behind her.
After hearing this, Tang San replied, "Because every soul hunting is very dangerous. Lurking soul beasts, possibly poisonous plants, unpredictable weather, and sudden illnesses may all make us lose our combat effectiveness, so we can only make the most comprehensive preparations."
"Then you don't need to bring so many..." Xiao Wu complained, and asked as if she suddenly remembered something: "Aren't there those decorations that can make things disappear? Why don't you use those?"
Sisi smiled and replied, "Xiao Wu, that is called a storage soul guide. It is different from the soul power lamps you usually see. It is a very rare soul guide. As far as I know, only Master Ma Xiunuo has one in the entire Notting City."
Seeing Xiao Wu wanted to say something, Gu You continued, "Don't even think about asking Grandpa Mashunuo to borrow it. That is the certificate of the Spirit Hall Master, not Grandpa Mashunuo's personal property. He will give it to the next Master when he retires. What if we lose it?"
After hearing Gu You's words, Xiao Wu, who wanted to ask why he didn't go to Mashunuo to borrow it, just stopped talking.
(Is this thing so precious? When Erhuan returns, ask Daming and Erming to get a few.)
The journey took two days, and except for a one-night rest in a small village, we arrived at the Soul Beast Forest smoothly.
From the novice soul master last time, Gu You, who can be considered an experienced soul master this time, took on the task of educating Wang Sheng.
Gu You told Wang Sheng all the knowledge that Mashunuo and Su Yuntao had told him, including but not limited to a survival guide for encountering soul beasts, emergency treatment for poisoning, how to keep the body clean and odor-free, etc. Wang Sheng felt dizzy after hearing this.
"Xiao You, which soul beast are you going to find first?"
After hearing Sisi's words, Gu You thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the east first. The soul beast you need is found in the east of the forest according to the records."
"Okay." The diligent Su Yuntao led the way again. This time, without Mashuno, Gu You led the way instead. Xiao Wu focused her attention on her ears, trying to distinguish the sounds around her.
As we moved forward, the forest vegetation became increasingly sparse, and sunlight shone through the treetops onto everyone.
"We should be almost there, let's take a break and recover our strength."
Following Su Yuntao's voice, everyone sat down and relaxed without caring that the ground was dirty.
"Xiao Wu, don't relax too much." Seeing Xiao Wu collapsed on the ground, Gu You said in a stern tone.
"What is the mission of agile attack spirit masters in the wild?"
"It is to analyze and evaluate the surrounding environment to confirm whether there is any potential danger." Xiao Wu struggled to stand up from the ground.
"I'm sorry, You. I let myself down. I promise I won't make this mistake again."
After saying that, Xiao Wu jumped onto the tree and looked around to see if there were any traces of soul beasts.
----------------
P.S.: I am quite satisfied with the description of the characters in these chapters. I wonder if you have any opinions or suggestions on the description of these chapters. Everyone is welcome to comment.
I wanted to take advantage of the break to read Dou San Dou Si, but I found that I couldn't finish it (sad). Is my writing style and rhythm not suitable for online writing? First, the rhythm is slow, and second, there is no explosive point. It doesn't feel good. Please recommend, collect, monthly vote, and read~
Chapter 70 Soul Hunting Success
After Xiao Wu confirmed the situation around her, she jumped down from the tree. Two hands appeared in front of her, one holding water and the other holding a dry towel.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaowu."
"Here, you look so sweaty."
Looking at the two people in front of her, Xiao Wu smiled.
"it is good!"
When Xiao Wu went to the side to rest, Tang San walked over to Gu You.
"Xiao You, I have prepared what you want. When do you want to use it?"
Gu You looked to the east, then raised his head to observe the density of the tree canopy.
"It will take a while. It may take another half an hour to get there. It won't be too late to use it then."
"Yeah." After listening to Gu You's explanation, Tang San sat down against the tree and took the time to recover his strength.
After resting for half an hour, everyone continued to move forward. As they moved forward, the trees slowly disappeared, the sunlight shone on the group, and the only vegetation on the ground was bushes.
"and many more!"
"Stop!"
"Something's wrong!"
Suddenly, Gu You, Tang San and Xiao Wu stopped at the same time and shouted to others.
Gu You's eyes instantly turned golden and he scanned everywhere. Xiao Wu leaned down, gathering strength with her legs, and focused all her attention on her ears.
Gu You and Xiao Wu both instinctively felt that something was wrong. Gu You's survival instinct was automatically activated, and Xiao Wu's strange ability to sense danger was sounding the alarm. A strange feeling loomed over everyone.
Seeing the actions of the two, the others also entered combat status. In an instant, the light of various soul powers bloomed at the same time, and everyone was alert to their surroundings.
Tang San closed his eyes and sniffed the air. After sensing a faint sweet smell in the air, he suddenly opened his eyes, "Oh no, we have entered its range of influence!"
After hearing Tang San's words, Gu You finally understood where this faint malice came from.
"Everyone open your mouth, Xiaosan!" Gu You shouted at Tang San.
Tang San had already taken out a few pills from his waist bag. Gu You asked everyone to open their mouths and then used exquisite hidden weapon techniques to accurately throw the pills into everyone's mouths. He also quickly put one in his mouth.
"Everyone, this medicine does not need to be swallowed, it will be effective as long as you hold it in your mouth." Because he had something in his mouth, Tang San's speech was a little unclear, but he still finished his words accurately.
"What is this?" Su Yuntao, who was originally planning to swallow the medicine, didn't dare to move.
"It's a preventive medicine." Tang San searched in his bag, "Xiao You asked me to make some preventive medicines that might be useful, so I found some herbs that can work on similar effects and made several different types. Let's move around and see if there are any signs of weakness."
Everyone twisted their necks and moved their hands and feet, and felt that they were not affected by the incense.
"I estimate that this medicine will be effective for half an hour. Everyone come here and take two pills each. Together with the one you take in your mouth, it will last about an hour and a half."
Su Yuntao nodded, "Thank you, Xiaosan. Now we have an hour and a half to find the Tentacle Rose and kill it. Wang Sheng, you follow me, and the others will act separately. Those who find it will send a signal, and don't fight alone."
"Okay." x5
Only ten minutes later, a scream was heard.
"Ah! Found it."
Everyone hurriedly followed the sound and saw Xiao Wu squatting behind a bush. When she heard their footsteps, she quickly waved her hand and asked everyone to squat down quietly.
"Shh~" Xiao Wu stretched out a finger and put it in front of her mouth, allowing everyone to see the front through the bushes.
Gu You hurried over and took a closer look, "Isn't this a soul tiger?"
I saw a tiger covered in light blue light confronting a 5-meter-tall rose. The petals of the rose were as bright as blood, and its roots broke out of the soil, with branches covered with thorns stretching towards the soul tiger.
The soul tiger was not afraid at all, and bared its teeth as it pounced on the stems and leaves of the wrist rose. Although the waving branches did not cause any damage to it, the impact of the dense whip net repeatedly pushed the soul tiger back.
"I see. That's why I could smell the incense from such a distance. It turns out that they have entered a combat state, so they are releasing a large amount of incense in an attempt to paralyze the soul tiger."
"What a pity," Gu You shook his head. "Soul beasts like the Soul Tiger are known for their defense and resistance, so this paralysis effect won't have much effect on them."
"Xiao San, Brother Tao, you two will be in my team. Wang Sheng, we will help you subdue the soul tiger later, and you just need to kill it."
"Xiao Wu, you and Sister Sisi are in a team. The weakness of the Tentacle Rose is in its core. As long as the core is subjected to a strong impact when it blooms, it will become powerless. You just need to rush to its side as quickly as possible and kick it. Sister Sisi, you..."
Gu You looked at Sisi and saw Sisi pulling out a dagger from her backpack.
"What?" Hearing her name, Sisi looked up at Gu You.
"...It's nothing, Sister Sisi, you just need to kill the Tentacle Rose when it is weak."
Sisi waved the sword a few times, "No problem."
"That's the general division of labor. Everyone wait for my instructions. We will work together in two groups later."
The others nodded and each looked for the most suitable attacking position.
After 10 minutes, the Soul Tiger's movements were no longer agile, and the scent of the Tentacle Rose was no longer strong.
Tang San nodded to Gu You, and Gu You held out three fingers.
Three, two, one, zero.
Everyone rushed out at the same time, possessed by their martial spirits.
After three minutes,
Two yellow soul rings rose up, Sisi and Wang Sheng quickly sat down and began to absorb the soul rings respectively.
Tang San looked at the sky and discussed with Su Yuntao that they should leave the forest overnight after the two absorbed the spirit rings. Xiao Wu stood beside the two spirit beasts, her eyes revealing a sadness.
Alas, why is this child here again? Didn’t I just remind her not to show her worries too obviously?
Gu You walked behind Xiao Wu and looked down at the corpses of the two soul beasts.
"The Tentacle Rose, which is about 500 years old, and the Soul Tiger, which is about 150 years old, are evenly matched. The Soul Tiger even has a slight advantage. It seems that soul beasts also have differences like martial spirits."
Xiao Wu was feeling sad when she was suddenly startled by a voice coming from behind her.
"You don't have to be sad. This is an inevitable behavior. As long as there are soul masters and humans need to practice, then hunting soul beasts is unavoidable."
Xiao Wu did not answer, but remained silent. In response, Gu You decided to directly use a depth charge.
"Xiao Wu, do you know that according to the current trend, sooner or later, soul beasts will completely disappear from this continent."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu no longer cared about being sad, and suddenly raised her head to look at Gu You.
"W-what? Why did the soul beasts disappear from the continent?"
A small question, what is the core of life? How did Ah Yin and the female protagonist of Dou Si become the core of life? Please recommend, collect, monthly vote, and follow up~
Chapter 71 The Significance of Soul Beasts
Xiao Wu understood what Gu You really meant, but she couldn't say that word, so she used "disappear" instead.
"That's right. The final fate of soul beasts has long been determined. As long as there are humans and soul masters, they will reach that end no matter what."
This was not a problem that could be solved by Huo Yuhao's appearance or creation of soul spirits. The essence of soul spirits was still soul beasts, but the soul rings that a soul beast could provide were changed from a fixed one to providing multiple soul rings at the same time based on the strength of the soul beast's cultivation.
The emergence of soul spirits even makes the living environment of soul beasts worse. A soul spirit made from a powerful soul beast can provide several powerful soul skills. These soul skills improve the strength of soul masters, making it easier for them to hunt powerful soul beasts.
The emergence of soul spirits has put the average effect of soul masters' soul skills on the fast track. In just 10,000 years, the strength of soul masters' soul skills is much stronger than the long period of improvement after the emergence of the soul master profession.
In the original novel, during the first battle, Tang San's spirit skills were only entanglement, parasitism, and spider web binding. By the second battle, they were only simulation and group weakness.
