Chapter 148 Night Owl
Chapter 148 Night Owl
After Ning Rongrong's fourth soul ring was found, only Ye Yinzhu's soul ring was left in the team.
The reason why his spirit ring was left to be searched for last was because spiritual spirit beasts were too rare.
As expected, after obtaining Ning Rongrong's soul ring, everyone searched for nearly two days but did not encounter a spiritual soul beast that was suitable for Ye Yinzhu to absorb.
At night, the kids gathered around the fire and felt a little discouraged.
"Why don't we ask my brother to help us? We'll have to find a time to go if we keep going like this!"
Ning Rongrong pouted and complained, occasionally poking the fire with branches to vent her frustration. She now just wanted to go back to the sect and take a good bath.
But as soon as she said this, she was opposed by all her friends except Xiao Wu.
"No, this is a test given to us by the Second Young Master. If we can't even overcome this little difficulty, how can we be worthy of his training?"
"Yes, let's look for it again."
Ning Rongrong curled her lips and did not refute the opinions of the crowd. She was just complaining.
Just as a few people were planning to take turns to keep watch, a long chirping sound was heard in the distance.
The voice seemed to have magical power, which made everyone's heart flutter and lose consciousness for a moment.
"What is this sound?"
Several people turned their eyes to Ye Yinzhu, who had the broadest knowledge.
But he shook his head. Ye Yinzhu had not been out of the sect very often, and he was not able to judge the type of soul beast based on its sound alone.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu was eager to try and suggested:
"Would you like to go take a look?"
Her suggestion was quickly agreed upon by her friends. The voice just now obviously had a spiritual impact on people, and it might be suitable for Ye Yinzhu.
Several people slowly moved towards the direction where the sound came from. Soon, several more chirping sounds reached everyone's ears. This time everyone understood that they were the sounds of bird soul beasts.
The voice contained a warning that was captivating and amplified the fear and vigilance in everyone's hearts. As the distance increased, the effect became more and more obvious.
After a long time, they finally arrived at the direction where the sound came from.
On a towering tree not far away, a bird soul beast was seen making warning calls to a soul beast below from time to time.
Ye Yinzhu recognized the two soul beasts and immediately shouted in surprise.
"It's a sharp-clawed long-tailed bear, and the one on the tree is a night owl, which happens to be a spiritual soul beast."
"Why did it warn the raccoon? If it couldn't defeat it, it could just fly away."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Yinzhu in confusion, asking about the strange confrontation between the two beasts in front of them.
After listening to it, Ye Yinzhu patiently explained.
"That night owl should have just given birth, and the sharp-clawed long-tailed bear specializes in feeding on the eggs of bird soul beasts."
Everyone then understood the reason. It was not that the nightowl was unwilling to fly away, but that it could not fly away in order to protect its eggs.
"Ms. Zhuqing, could you please help me see how many triangular patterns there are on the abdomen of that night owl?"
"Textures?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the other party wanted her to do this.
"The Night Owl is a very rare spiritual soul beast. Its voice can amplify the fear in the prey's heart, thus making the prey lose its ability to move. It is very suitable for my piano music."
"And starting from ten thousand years ago, the night owl will have inverted triangle-shaped patterns growing on its abdomen, and there will be one more inverted triangle pattern every ten thousand years."
"I see!"
After Ye Yinzhu's explanation, Zhu Zhuqing nodded in understanding and stopped talking.
He released the Netherworld Cat spirit and quietly moved to another giant tree to observe.
The civet cat's movements were light, so Zhu Zhuqing did not attract the attention of the two soul beasts opposite.
After a few seconds, the kitten returned to the team.
"It just happens to have an inverted triangle pattern on its abdomen, and there is no sign of a second one emerging." "Great, this is a night owl that has just passed ten thousand years old, it suits me very well."
Ye Yinzhu clenched his fists excitedly. He was fed up with life in the wild. If he could quickly obtain this soul ring, he could end his soul hunting journey.
Ning Rongrong just stared blankly at the nightowl on the opposite tree and asked the question in her mind.
"But it's in the tree. If we attack it, it will definitely run away."
"This"
Ye Yinzhu had only considered the adaptability of the spirit ring and had not yet planned how to implement the soul hunting operation. He was silent for a moment.
"Yinzhu, Nianbing, can you trap it for a while?"
After thinking for a while, Ah Dai looked at his friend beside him.
"Hmm? You want to..."
"That's right. You guys trap it, and I'll go over and release my fourth soul skill to get into its body. After absorbing the soul power in its body, I'll directly attack the wings of the Night Owl."
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. This was indeed a good idea.
"Then you have to move faster. My Morning Dew Knife may not be able to trap it for too long."
"Don't worry, I'll take the Fengxing Pill given to me by the Second Young Master before taking any action."
As he spoke, he took out a jade bottle from his soul guide.
"Okay, I'll speed you up too."
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong also planned to release her Nine Treasures Glazed Tower.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Wu quickly grabbed her little sister and started gesticulating exaggeratedly with her hands.
"Your little tower is so bright, the soul beast on the other side will definitely discover us when you take it out."
"Eh!"
Ning Rongrong stared blankly at the dark night sky above her head, thinking that her martial spirit was indeed more conspicuous.
"No need, Miss. The assistance of the Wind-Running Pill is enough."
"Well, that's all."
Ning Rongrong nodded dejectedly. I never thought that I, the best assistant in the world, would be tied up by the darkness. How abominable.
Now that the battle strategy has been determined, several people began their own actions.
After taking the Wind-Driven Pill, Ah Dai used his third soul skill to drill into the ground and moved towards the big tree where the Night Owl was.
Long Nianbing gathered the Morning Dew Blade in his hand, ready to release it as soon as Ah Dai was in position.
Seeing that Ah Dai had quietly reached the tree, Long Nianbing no longer hesitated.
"Morning Dew Blade: Ice and Snow Sigh."
A sword formation formed by ice was released, and soon the unsuspecting Night Owl was trapped inside.
Seeing this, the nightowl let out a shrill cry and began flapping its wings vigorously.
"Oh no, cover your ears!"
Seeing this, Ye Yinzhu hurriedly summoned the guqin, and the first soul ring flashed, and began to calm the fear rising in everyone's hearts.
Seeing this, Ah Dai under the tree immediately started to move towards the branch where the night owl was.
When the sharp-clawed long-tailed bear saw the scene in front of it, it quickly tucked its tail between its legs and fled away. It was just a few eggs, not worth it!
Just when the Night Owl was about to break free from the blockade of the Morning Dew Sword Formation, Ah Dai's figure also approached.
"Fourth soul skill, Shattering Shadow."
Ah Dai's body disappeared in front of everyone, and a huge sickle rose above the prey's head.
