Chapter 52 Soul Crystal
The unconscious tiger demon soon woke up. Several big tiger demons surrounded him, and I wonder what they said to him.
After a while, Hu Ji walked up to Xu Zhenfeng, holding a dark red, crystal clear stone in his hand, and said to him: "You saved Hu Min, this soul crystal should be given to you."
Xu Zhenfeng looked at the soul crystal that was the size of his little finger, and then looked at his fifth master beside him.
The fifth elder nodded and said, "Why don't you thank the great demon Hu Ji?"
Xu Zhenfeng took the soul crystal and bowed to express his gratitude.
Hu Ji waved his hand, "No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. If it weren't for you, Hu Min would not be able to come back."
Soul Crystal is the essence of Xiyi left after the Xiyi of the general level or above dissipates. Depending on the strength of the Xiyi before dissipation, the Soul Crystal will appear in different sizes and colors.
Of course, the redder the color and the larger the size of the soul crystal, the best.
This thing is indispensable for refining space items, and can also be used to refine magical tools.
High-quality soul crystals embedded in weapons can also greatly enhance the power of weapons.
Why is this thing called soul crystal?
According to the underworld, Xiyi is a ghost that has lost its three souls and six spirits, with only one spirit left. When Xiyi dissipates, the thing that condenses is naturally called a spirit crystal.
Xu Zhenfeng took the soul crystal from Hu Ji and was looking at it carefully when a voice came from the team ahead.
"A group of Xiyi are chasing us."
"There are hundreds of them."
Xu Zhenfeng looked up and saw a group of Xiyi coming from the direction where he and the tiger demon had lured General Xiyi. They did not look as foolish as the Xiyi on the hillside of Howling Mountain.
"It's the guard of General Xiyi."
Xu Zhenfeng said hurriedly.
The fifth elder nodded and said, "There are only three or four hundred Xiyi in this group. You and Hu Yuan should discuss how to eliminate them."
Xu Zhenfeng suddenly looked a little strange, and hurriedly handed the soul crystal in his hand back to the fifth elder, "Fifth Master, please keep it for me first, I'm going to get busy."
After saying that, he walked to the front of the team and discussed with Hu Yuan.
This group of Xiyi was not large in number. Although they had some intelligence, they just followed the Xiyi general based on instinct.
These Xiyi saw a large group of monsters gathering in front of them. With the suppression of the monsters' nature, they did not hide or flee, but just ran straight towards the group of monsters that had already set up their positions.
At this time, Hu Yuan and Xu Zhenfeng had already discussed how to deal with it.
The tiger monsters were already in the front, and the wolf monsters were following behind, each of them had their magic spells ready.
When Xiyi got closer, the wolf monsters collectively roared loudly.
More than twenty wolf demons roared together, shocking the group of Xiyi in the front so much that they could not move and stood still on the spot.
Then the tiger demon acted as a meat shield and launched a brutal charge, rushing into the Xiyi group.
The wolf monsters also took the opportunity to use concentrated force to ram into the Xiyi group, quickly splitting their formation, and then used Swift Shadow to run back to the back of the tiger monster.
The wolf demon is not as powerful as the tiger demon. If it is entangled by the Xiyi and several Xiyi crawl on its body, its movement and strength will be greatly reduced.
The wolf clan's attack is mainly based on a quick attack and a quick retreat.
After this large group of Xiyi were separated, three or five tiger monsters surrounded the separated Xiyi and prevented them from reuniting again.
Then the wolf demon will quickly pounce from behind and bite it to death. After the attack is successful, you need to immediately return to the back of the tiger demon and then kill it when the opportunity arises.
The tiger demon's ability to resist damage is much stronger than that of the wolf clan.
Xu Zhenfeng estimated that if he had suffered the same injury as Hu Min, he would have died long ago. How could he have survived to come back for treatment?
After this team of Xiyi were divided into several large and small Xiyi circles, the guarding monsters of the wolf and tiger tribes each guarded a circle.
They did not join in the fighting, but just watched from the sidelines. They would only come to the rescue if they saw a demon in danger.
The method of fighting the enemy decided by Xu Zhenfeng and Hu Yuan was very effective. The large group of Xiyi that was separated was unable to use numbers to attack the demon clan.
With their natural strength and aura suppressed by the demon clan, the Xi Yi in each small circle was quickly dissipating.
A few tiger and wolf monsters were also injured, but for the monsters, some minor non-fatal injuries were commonplace.
The battle started quickly and ended quickly.
The tiger demon charged forward, and the wolf demon killed them one by one with its speed.
When a wolf demon was slow in action and was surrounded by Xiyi, the tiger demon rushed into the encirclement, allowing the wolf demon to escape from the circle, and then began to kill them one by one.
If too many Xiyi crawled on the tiger demon's body, several wolf demons would surround him and drag and bite all the Xiyi off his body.
After the battle, the tiger monsters were naturally the most injured, and several wolf monsters were also injured.
The big monsters guarding the two tribes never took action from beginning to end.
While the injured monsters were still receiving treatment, Xu Zhenfeng and Hu Yuan began to discuss how to proceed next.
At present, it is still unknown whether a Xiyi king has been born in the Xiyi territory. The first person they encountered was a Xiyi general of medium size.
According to the rule, as long as you encounter the first Xiyi general, the further you go, the stronger the great Xiyi you encounter will be.
Now both tribes have injured monsters, and there is also a seriously injured tiger monster.
Xu Zhenfeng suggested resting in place for two or three days, and then continuing to move forward after the seriously injured Hu Min was able to walk on his own.
Hu Yuan disagreed.
Monsters only have three months to enter the Xiyi Realm. If every monster has to stop and rest when it is injured, then the monsters don't have to do anything. If they encounter a few teams of Xiyi, they will spend most of their time just resting.
The two leading monsters were arguing, so Xu Zhenfeng suggested that they should just let the monsters in the team vote by raising their hands, whether to stay and rest or continue moving forward.
The result was far beyond Xu Zhenfeng's expectations. Not only did the injured monsters from both tribes demand to continue moving forward, even Hu Min, who had just woken up from a serious injury, raised his hand and refused to stop to rest.
After seeing this scene, Xu Zhenfeng realized that although he was already a demon, his behavior and thinking were still the same as when he was a human in his previous life.
The demon race is a race that is brave and fearless, and only knows how to move forward and never retreat.
Not to mention that some demons were injured, even if some demons were killed by Xiyi just now, they would not stop moving forward.
The team reorganized and continued to move forward, and the injured tiger monsters also stayed on the periphery as they did at the beginning.
It was only after Xu Zhenfeng's repeated requests that Hu Min finally lay on the back of a wolf demon walking in the inner circle.
Xu Zhenfeng was obviously doing this for his own good, but this guy was still mumbling without knowing what was good for him, saying that his injuries were not serious and he could still walk on the periphery.
Xu Zhenfeng walked at the head of the wolf tribe in the inner circle, looking up at the front.
The whole team was moving forward at a trot.
They had to bypass the Howling Mountains, as there were now only the lowest level Xiyi there, so there was no need to clear them out.
The team bypassed the Howling Mountains and after marching for a few more hours, they stopped to replenish food and water, rested for half an hour, and then continued on their way.
At this point, the team was already tired, and they needed to find a place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack to sleep and recover.
In Xiyi Realm, a place where there is no distinction between day and night, the time for eating, sleeping and resting is divided according to the monster's physical fatigue and hunger level.
Acting as scouts in the front were still Langdu and another wolf demon.
Fortunately, not long after they set out this time, Langdu came back to report that there was a half-cut mountain 50 miles ahead, which was a good place for the team to sleep and rest.
