Chapter 26: About the Fate Beast, the Thrilling Soul Refining Cauldron
The two looked at each other, and instead of summoning out the Book of Fate, they each summoned out a fate beast.
The Smoker summoned the Exploding Flame Wolf from yesterday, while the Drunkard summoned a turtle with golden patterns.
As soon as the two beasts of destiny appeared, they brought pressure to everyone.
Seeing this, the team leader hurriedly bowed and said, "I didn't know you two masters were here. Please forgive me."
After calling back their respective beasts, the Smoker said softly, "Make way."
Upon hearing this, the team leader quickly made way to let Lu Ming and the others in.
After walking in, Lu Ming asked curiously: "Why are there so many soldiers here?"
Zhang Yunlong explained: "These soldiers have two functions. One is to prevent ordinary people from mistakenly entering Black Stone Mountain, and the other is to prevent the monsters in Black Stone Mountain from escaping."
"Only fortune tellers and some special permission ordinary people can enter here."
"You have to know that demon beasts are very dangerous. Ordinary people can't deal with them at all. That's why there are military guards."
"So that's it!"
After walking for more than ten minutes, the group of four arrived at the foot of Black Stone Mountain. The scene in front of them stunned Lu Ming.
"Is this really a dangerous area where monsters exist?"
What came into view was a long street with various shops on both sides and constant shouting.
"We buy all kinds of monster meat at high prices."
"Collect black-tailed bear paws, 100 gold coins each."
"For sale is a complete list of Blackrock Mountain monsters. One gold coin for each copy."
........
The constant sounds of hawking made Lu Ming and Zhang Yunlong feel quite fresh.
"Mr. Yan, why are there so many shops here?"
"This kind of street is called a Monster Market. Wherever there are monsters, there will be this kind of market."
"As for the items being traded, they are all related to monsters. Of course, they are only of some benefit to low-level fate masters."
Mr. Yan did not introduce this kind of market in much detail, and it was obvious that he looked down upon it.
But Lu Ming's eyes lit up, he found an opportunity to make a fortune here.
"One bear paw is worth 100 gold. I don't have to worry about food money anymore."
Having had an unhappy life since childhood, he has a relatively large demand for money.
You know, the last time I had a meal in a restaurant, I spent 30 gold coins!
Everyone passed through the Monster Market and officially entered Blackrock Mountain.
The entire Black Stone Mountain is covered with lush vegetation, with thick trees more than ten feet tall everywhere.
After entering here, the smoker said solemnly.
"Now, I will tell you how to obtain the life beast."
"If you want to obtain a life beast, you must kill a monster and obtain its soul."
"However, not every monster will drop a beast soul. There is a 10% chance of dropping one."
"As for what the beast soul looks like, you will know after it falls."
"Ten percent?" Lu Ming was a little surprised.
"So, you have to kill ten monsters to get one beast soul!"
"Yes or no."
The smoker glanced at Lu Ming.
"Ten percent is a probability. It doesn't mean you will get the beast soul 100% if you hunt ten monsters. If you are unlucky, you may not get it even if you hunt twenty."
"Another fortune teller? This fortune teller really lives up to his reputation!"
At this time, the smoker said, "There is one more thing you should know. You can only use the beast souls that are dropped by the monsters you killed yourself!"
Zhang Yunlong couldn't help but say, "That's fair."
The smoker smiled and shook his head: "Master, there is no such thing as fairness. If it weren't for your experience, I would have beaten the monster to death and let you make the final blow!"
Lu Ming's mind moved: "In this case, when killing monsters, we must also be on guard against others, otherwise it is easy to make things difficult for others."
At this time, Zhang Yunlong spoke again: "Old Yan, is there any particularity in choosing a fate beast?"
"There are no requirements for the choice of Fate Beast, as long as you like it."
"The cultivation of the Fate Beast is very peculiar. It has no bloodline rules to speak of, and there is no distinction between high and low."
"Even if you obtain a seemingly insignificant beast, you may be able to cultivate a powerful beast of level 100."
Hearing this, Lu Ming instantly understood what the smoker meant: "Everything is possible!"
After saying this, Mr. Yan pointed to the dense forest in front of him and said, "Master, everything else depends on you."
"We won't take action unless we face a life-or-death crisis."
Zhang Yunlong said confidently: "Don't worry, I can do it."
"Lu Ming, let's go."
Lu Ming also walked towards the dense forest with great interest. He couldn't wait to own a life beast.
After entering the dense forest, the two immediately looked around vigilantly.
The Black Stone Mountain is different from the outside world. All the creatures living here are monsters, which are much more dangerous than the wild beasts in the outside world.
Any one of them can kill an ordinary person in seconds.
The two had just walked forward a few hundred meters when they encountered the first monster, a level 4 red-eyed rabbit that looked harmless.
The red-eyed rabbit was very alert and spotted the two people from a distance of 10 meters.
As expected of a monster, it was extremely aggressive. As a vegetarian monster, the red-eyed rabbit actually took the initiative to attack the two of them.
With a kick of its two powerful hind legs, it can cover a distance of 10 meters with just one jump.
The next moment, the red-eyed rabbit opened its iconic three-petal mouth and shot out an ice cone, heading straight for Zhang Yunlong who was in the front.
Lu Ming in the back already had the iron rod in his hand. If Zhang Yunlong couldn't handle it, he would help.
Seeing that the ice cone was about to hit him, Zhang Yunlong reached for his waist, a cold light flashed, and the ice cone was split in half.
Lu Ming took a closer look and saw that Zhang Yunlong was holding a soft sword in his hand.
Zhang Yunlong's hand trembled, and the soft sword made a crackling sound, stabbing towards the red-eyed rabbit with a whistling sound of breaking wind.
Zhang Yunlong's attack was extremely fast. Before the red-eyed rabbit could react, the soft sword pierced its body.
"The strength is good."
Lu Ming had already anticipated Zhang Yunlong's strength. He must be quite good, otherwise the smoker and drunkard would not let him hunt monsters alone.
However, such agile skills made Lu Minggao look at him more.
"squeak"
The red-eyed rabbit let out a mournful cry, struggled for a few times, and then became motionless.
Zhang Yunlong shook his hand and shook off the red-eyed rabbit's body.
"Unfortunately, no beast soul dropped."
He continued to move forward, but after just a few steps he realized something was wrong.
Lu Ming didn't follow!
Zhang Yunlong turned around and saw Lu Ming standing there blankly, staring at the corpse of the red-eyed rabbit.
"Lu Ming, what's wrong with you?"
Time goes back to the time when Zhang Yunlong killed the red-eyed rabbit with one sword.
To be on the safe side, Lu Ming had opened his double pupils when entering the dense forest. With his double pupils, his observation ability increased several times.
But when the red-eyed rabbit died, his double pupils actually saw the soul of the red-eyed rabbit, which shocked him greatly.
You know, after coming to the Continent of Destiny, he has never seen any souls, not even on dead people.
But now he actually discovered the existence of souls in the monsters!
Before he could recover from his shock, a shock occurred deep in his sea of consciousness, and in an instant his consciousness appeared in his sea of consciousness.
In the center of the sea of consciousness, a giant tripod stands in the middle.
At this time, the giant cauldron emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire sea of consciousness.
Looking at the Taoist motto on the giant tripod and the big word "soul" in the middle, Lu Ming recognized the giant tripod at a glance.
“Soul Refining Cauldron!”
