Chapter 93 Hunting the Ten Thousand Year Earth Fire Dragon
Chapter 93 Hunting the Ten Thousand Year Earth Fire Dragon (1)
In a blink of an eye, half a day had passed since the hunting team composed of Soul Fighting Beasts entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
According to the information gathered by the intelligence personnel, the earth fire dragon that met the age requirement of Ignis was active near the canyon about ten kilometers ahead of them.
Theoretically, they have entered the activity range of the Earth Fire Dragon.
According to the eyewitness testimony of the intelligence provider, this thousand-year-old fire dragon is suspected to be a lone wolf, basically resting in a natural cave deep in the canyon, and occasionally going out to the woodlands or grassland areas outside the canyon to find food.
Whether in terms of fit or safety, it can be said that it is extremely suitable for Ignis.
You Chen used the Breath-Concealing Technique to silently patrol the perimeter of the team, watching the hunting team's rigorous and efficient performance along the way, and was extremely satisfied in his heart.
Along the way, he did not replace the scouts' job. According to the pre-determined arrangements, he would only give warnings when there was a possibility of a collision with a soul beast with a cultivation level of more than 50,000 years.
However, they traveled hundreds of kilometers into the Star Dou Great Forest in half a day, and the hunting area they were involved in was still on the outskirts of the forest. The probability of encountering a 50,000-year-old soul beast was comparable to winning the second prize in the lottery.
Why not the first prize? Because most people can’t win the first prize.
The area division of the Star Dou Great Forest can be simply divided into the "outermost edge area", "outer circle", "internal mixed area", "core area", and the "Lake of Life restricted area" which human soul masters have basically never even heard of at this stage.
In a sense, the "Lake of Life Forbidden Zone" is the real core zone, and the current "core zone" is just the boundary between the core zone and the internal mixed zone. But let's still follow the above division of "core zone" and "forbidden zone".
Starting from the internal mixed area, soul beasts of ten thousand year level can be seen basically everywhere.
The area where they are now is at the junction of the outer circle and the inner mixed zone. The soul beasts here are basically hundreds and thousands of years old. The soul beasts of ten thousand years old are relatively rare and can only be seen occasionally.
It can be predicted that the Soul Fighting Beasts will be active in this area for a long time in the future.
As more and more soul fighting beasts reach the quasi-soul lord level 40, they will start hunting soul beasts that are over ten thousand years old in large numbers, and this area is the best hunting ground.
Therefore, You Chen did not actually encounter a situation that required him to come out and remind others.
They showed strong discipline and tacit understanding.
Path exploration, route planning to avoid spirit beasts as much as possible to avoid unnecessary battles, and tacit cooperation in the inevitable battles...
The control-type soul masters restricted and interrupted at the first moment, the auxiliary-type soul masters provided timely support, the defense-type soul masters provided assistance, the agile attack-type soul masters and the strong attack-type soul masters displayed explosive power and effective output... They indeed cooperated perfectly.
All this made Youchen very happy.
In particular, they will not be like those single-player game players who are obsessed with limited resources and hold on to their artifacts until they complete the level without using them. Even if the arrows and booster fuel of the black firearms are limited, they will use them without hesitation when necessary.
However, even if You Chen was satisfied with their performance, he would only escort them and review the troops carefully this time.
The development of black firearms is one aspect.
This thing can nominally kill a Soul Emperor, but it only has this much attack power. To really threaten a Soul Emperor, it must be done by a group that maximizes the advantages of standard mechanical weapons.
If the operator's strength is too low, the hit rate will naturally be pitifully low against a target that is far beyond their strength. Therefore, the elites who joined the hunting team this time are at least at the Soul Master level.
To fully exert the effect of black firearms, the soul master's own cultivation is equally important. This is another aspect...
After this hunt, Ignis will be able to obtain a ten thousand year soul ring. Needless to say, the bonus of the ten thousand year soul ring will greatly enhance her strength, and she will normally be able to possess the combat power of a soul king.
Even without relying on black firearms, it can fight against ten thousand year soul beasts and has the ability to help other soul fighting beasts hunt for the fourth soul ring.
What’s more, there is the help of black firearms?
There is no longer much need for You Chen's help. If You Chen's strength remains stagnant at this stage, they will be able to threaten You Chen if they organize themselves.
Even if more ten thousand year soul beasts are hunted and powerful soul beasts are attracted from the internal mixed area, there will be no need to worry by then.
Because all the soul fighting beasts have reached the Soul Sect level and are equipped with ten thousand year soul rings, relying on black firearms, they can retreat in an orderly manner even when facing a situation where a fifty thousand year soul beast is leading multiple ten thousand year soul beasts to hunt them down.
After all, their position has not yet penetrated deep into the internal mixed zone, and they can withdraw from the Star Forest in just half a day.
If there are still a large number of casualties... then we can only say that they are indeed a group of hopeless people. The loss is a loss.
As for this time...there is no need to be so harsh.
Although the Earth Fire Dragon is not as strong as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Titan Giant Ape, it can be comparable to a 100,000-year soul beast with weak blood in ten thousand years, but it can also match an ordinary 50,000-year soul beast, which means it has the combat power of a Soul Saint level!
If the Black Fire Crossbow hits the target completely, it can instantly severely injure or even kill a Soul Emperor. In other words, it also has the ability to threaten a Soul Saint!
It just requires more tacit cooperation and a certain amount of courage and luck.
Even You Chen could not give an absolute judgment on whether they could successfully complete the hunt.
Therefore, this hunt is a test and challenge given to everyone by You Chen.
As soon as something goes wrong and there is a possibility of casualties, You Chen will take action directly!
While the original body was responsible for guarding the surroundings and preventing other soul beasts from breaking into their hunting site, You Chen would also distract himself and send out a starlight incarnation to assist in the battle.
Even if it is just an incarnation of condensed soul power, it has the combat power of an ordinary Soul King. If it explodes by consuming all the soul power reserves at once, it can burst out with the power of a Soul Emperor!
This kind of assistance is indeed significant.
The test and the military review were basically enough, so You Chen stopped wasting time. His soul power fluctuated, and a starlight incarnation that looked exactly like his original body flashed out. He said to everyone, "I have found the target, and now I will lure it out. Everyone, be ready for action!"
The original body and the incarnation flapped their wings and took off together. After the starlight incarnation rushed forward for thousands of meters in one breath, a giant beast over five meters tall and as big as a hill appeared in the field of vision.
The dragon scales were dark red as if lava was flowing underneath, the eyes were filled with cold gold and were as big as a washbasin, and there were three pitch-black dragon horns protruding in spirals.
The Earth Fire Dragon has no wings and cannot fly, but instead has an extremely strong physique and strength!
At this moment, this ten-thousand-year-old fire dragon left the cave deep in the canyon and was drinking water by a stream.
"Well?"
The feeling of being on edge caused the Earth Fire Dragon's brows, which were as thick as human arms, to move slightly. Then he raised his head and looked towards the source of the dangerous premonition.
Woo——.
The air wailed.
The air column formed by the compression and condensation of countless tiny air blades is launched instantly!
