Huo Qiuer began to count down.
"No, no, no, Master Ruishou, I'll be right out."
A pleading voice suddenly rang out, and then a large golden disc with a diameter of less than two meters slowly crawled out from the mud at the bottom of the pool.
A closer look revealed that the large round plate was actually a large turtle. Huo Qiuer naturally recognized the species of the turtle, a soul beast called the Golden Hawksbill Turtle.
It can speak human language, and its age is surprisingly as high as 100,000 years.
"What are you doing hiding here?"
"I...I..." The Golden Hawksbill Turtle didn't dare to look up at Huo Qiu'er, and said nervously, "I saw that the residence of Master Auspicious Beast had an auspicious aura, which was very suitable for our Golden Hawksbill Turtle clan to practice, so I wanted to sneak in when Master Auspicious Beast was in seclusion, but Master Auspicious Beast was away in the past few years, so I...I lived here without permission..."
It had been hiding in the mud at the bottom of the water, trying its best to cover itself with its talent for concealing its luck, for fear of being discovered by Zi Ji. Unexpectedly, it was still discovered by Huo Qiuer.
Huo Qiuer was both angry and amused. How could this golden hawksbill turtle be so brave?
If he dared to sneak into her territory, why didn’t he try his luck in the Lake of Life?
Huo Qiu'er also knew something about the golden hawksbill turtle clan. The golden hawksbill turtle was known as the auspicious turtle and also had some auspicious aura.
At the same time, the golden hawksbill turtle is also a soul beast with extremely strong vitality, but the golden hawksbill turtle in front of him has a special aura of decay, as if its vitality is rapidly disappearing, which should not happen according to the age.
She didn't dwell on this question, but squinted at it and said, "You are also 100,000 years old, why didn't you respond to Di Tian's beast tide? Could it be that cultivation is just a cover, and you just want to reject Uncle Di Tian's call?"
The golden hawksbill turtle was stunned, and it quickly said, "Master Auspicious Beast, you are joking. We, the golden hawksbill turtle clan, are not good at fighting. Even if we participate in the beast tide, we can't play a role. The beast tide a hundred years ago did not summon our clan to participate."
"Oh." Huo Qiu'er snorted, "In that case, I'll go tell Uncle Di Tian that you sneaked in while I'm away..."
The golden hawksbill turtle shuddered, and its entire shell was shaking, as if it was particularly afraid of hearing the words "Di Tian": "Master Auspicious Beast, please don't tell Di Tian. I will do whatever you say!"
"Oh? Are you really going to do everything I ask you to do?" Huo Qiuer asked deliberately.
"Really, as long as you don't tell Di Tian." Golden Hawksbill Turtle's voice sounded like tears.
Emperor Tian would not do anything to a hundred thousand year old soul beast for no reason, but this golden hawksbill turtle was so scared just by hearing Emperor Tian's name that it was hard not to suspect whether it had stolen something from Emperor Tian.
"Okay, then you stay here and release all your auspicious energy." Huo Qiuer said readily.
The golden hawksbill turtle was stunned: "Ah? Master Auspicious Beast, why, why are you doing this?"
Huo Qiuer took out the positioning soul guide that Huo Yuhao had given her and said with a smile, "I'll go get someone."
I read the original novel and found that a fierce beast was omitted. What is this demon spirit for? Why do I feel that Dou San only mentioned it briefly?

Chapter 487 Rebellion from the North
In the north of the Sun-Moon Empire, there is a vast area of hills with uneven terrain.
A team in uniform was marching in an orderly manner. All of them were fully armed with a complete set of soul guides. There were about a hundred of them, and they were obviously a team of soul guides.
Only the man and woman at the head were dressed differently from the others, and their strength was particularly outstanding. They were obviously the leaders of this soul mentor team.
The young man had a delicate but frosty face, and wore a flowing white robe. He was not equipped with any soul-guided weapons, but only had a pitch-black sword in his arms, which was out of place with the style of the others.
The young woman's expressions were much richer, and she was equipped with a full range of soul guides, like an all-rounder.
The two people were Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan. They followed Jing Hongchen's arrangement and joined the army, accumulating military merits and being promoted quickly, thus strengthening Mingdetang's control over the army.
Now, the soul guide group they belong to has come to the north to quell the rebellion started by the Grand Duke of Glory.
This soul guide team is the vanguard. Their original mission was to investigate the situation, but right now, no one looked too cautious. On the contrary, their morale was high and everyone was extremely excited.
They encountered several vanguard armies of the Grand Duke of Brilliance one after another, but without any large-scale firefights or calls for reinforcements, they killed the enemy commanders and captured the rest. These were naturally the work of Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan.
All the soul masters looked at Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan, and a hint of respect involuntarily flashed in their eyes.
At the beginning, the team members had some complaints about the two airborne captains, but after seeing their strong strength, they all admired them from the bottom of their hearts.
A seventh-level soul engineer and a sixth-level soul engineer showed no fear in the face of thousands of troops. They dared to rush into the enemy's encirclement alone, carried out a decapitation operation on the enemy general, and then used thunder-like means to intimidate the remaining enemy troops, causing great chaos in the morale of the rebels, allowing the Sun and Moon Army to successfully capture the enemy.
Although the enemy's strength is generally not strong, the calmness of this battlefield
Therefore, their vanguard troops also achieved great success.
Ji Juechen had no interest in the so-called military merits. He just held his sword and walked silently at the front of the team. It was not him who showed the way to everyone, but Jing Ziyan who was standing beside him. She held a soul guide with a pointer, as if she was measuring the direction.
Jing Ziyan estimated: "Fool, judging from the surrounding environment, we are almost approaching the territory of the Brilliant Duke."
Ji Juechen seemed not to hear it and didn't even respond.
"I'm talking to you." Jing Ziyan yelled dissatisfiedly, "Maybe behind that hill is the main force of the Brilliant Duke."
Ji Juechen then spoke sparingly, "Defeat him."
"You really have no sense of crisis at all." Jing Ziyan curled her lips, and her expression suddenly changed slightly. She changed her previous nonsensical look and passed the message to the back with a serious face.
"Everyone on alert, enemy attack detected."
As soon as he finished speaking, rows of heads suddenly appeared on the empty hillside in the distance. The heads gradually revealed their full appearance, and it turned out to be a densely packed army.
The hillsides were occupied by troops, and the number of enemies was probably tens of thousands.
"It's the main force of the Brilliant Duke!"
Although the soul guide team members were holding weapons, they were extremely nervous. The number of enemies in front of them was greater than the vanguard troops they had encountered before, and it was obviously not something they could deal with.
"Captain, retreat quickly and go back to call for reinforcements." A soul master advised Jing Ziyan.
However, before Jing Ziyan could answer, Ji Juechen took the lead and took a step forward with a sword in hand. There was no trace of fear or timidity on his cold face.
"Where is the enemy general?"
The concentrated soul power covered the entire valley and reached the ears of all the enemy soldiers.
A large bright yellow flag was erected in the sea of people on the hillside, and then a tall horse carrying a man slowly walked out.
The man on horseback also shouted in a concentrated voice: "I am Zhao Yang, the eldest son of Grand Duke Huihuang, the first heir to the title, and the Grand General of the Principality."
"My father had no intention of rebelling, he only wanted to establish his own principality. Why did Your Majesty make such a fuss?"
His voice was very loud and clear, and judging from his aura, his cultivation was at least above that of a Soul Saint.
The more than 100 people in the Soul Master Team are already panicking. The other side not only has Soul Saints, but also tens of thousands of troops. Their mere vanguard will never be their match.
Someone looked to the side, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly. It turned out that there were dense enemy troops in two other directions, and they had entered the encirclement without knowing when.
"Captain, if we don't run away now, we will have nowhere to escape." Several soul masters continued to persuade.
However, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan remained unmoved.
Ji Juechen looked directly at Zhao Yang in front of the enemy and said word by word: "Fight, or surrender."
The long sword pointed directly at the enemy, and the sharp sword intent went straight up the slope.
Zhao Yang didn't expect that Ji Juechen, who was surrounded, would dare to do this. His face changed slightly and he raised his right hand.
"Grand Duke Brilliant's soul guide, get ready."
Behind him, a team with obviously better equipment than ordinary troops was ready. As long as Zhao Yang gave the order, they could launch an attack at any time.
This team of about 100 soul masters are all level 4 soul masters, and are already the elite troops under the Grand Duke of Glory.
A full one hundred level four soul guide ray gun barrels began to accumulate energy, ready to blast towards Ji Juechen and others in the encirclement.
The soul masters behind Ji Juechen were also ready to fight back. Although they had experienced many battles, big and small, the dark army in front of them made everyone face tremendous psychological pressure.
Only Ji Juechen remained calm. He just glanced at the one hundred level four soul masters and then shifted his sharp gaze back to General Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang's face turned cold, and he quickly lowered his raised arm and said in a deep voice, "Let go."
Just before the one hundred level four soul masters launched their attack, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan had already rushed out, flying swiftly at low altitude above the hillside, leaving behind a shadow of a wisdom tail in the air in their white robes.
Ji Juechen didn't like to use other soul guides, and he wasn't good at using them. The high speed he burst out at this moment was relying on Jing Ziyan's flying soul guide and propulsion soul guide.
Zhao Yang on the hillside laughed contemptuously: "You don't know whether to live or die."
Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan were indeed very fast, but no matter how fast they were, as long as they were in the air, they would be sitting ducks for the Soul Guide Corps. Under the dense firepower net composed of one hundred level four soul guide rays, even with an invincible shield, they would not be able to hold out for long.
boom--
One hundred level four soul guide rays roared one after another, and chaotic white light poured down from high above, like a waterfall of fire formed by a group of white meteors. There was no safe place to stand.
However, facing this level of firepower, Ji Juechen's emotions did not fluctuate at all. His eyes were still staring straight at Zhao Yang through the dense white light.
Now, he actually doesn’t need to use his eyes to observe the surrounding scenery, but rather from a higher and broader perspective.
The firepower net composed of one hundred rays seems dense, but there are still countless gaps in the space ahead. As long as you prepare in advance, people flying in it can be as easy as fish playing in the water.
Jing Ziyan cleverly changed direction in the air to avoid the incoming rays, but her speed did not decrease too much. After quickly passing a distance of more than a thousand meters, the general's flag suddenly appeared in front of the two.
The first round of shooting was over, the white light disappeared, and Zhao Yang was about to look proudly at the two people who had turned into ashes, but he was suddenly stunned.
Just above him was Ji Juechen in a white robe, and the pitch-black meteorite sword he held was already filled with sharp sword intent.
A sense of crisis rose from Zhao Yang's heart. Zhao Yang shouted suddenly, and the seven soul rings behind him flashed. His body swelled rapidly, and his strong muscles were like a giant bear.
As a Soul Saint, his perception was naturally sharp. The terrifying sword intent from Ji Juechen made him truly feel the threat of death. The thousands of troops around him could not provide him with the slightest sense of security.
Only then did he realize how ridiculous it was to start a rebellion on the border of the Sun-Moon Empire. Those masters who came from Mingdu didn't care at all about how many troops they had or how many soul guides they had. Among thousands of troops, taking his life was as easy as taking something from a sack.
But once some paths are chosen, there is no turning back. Even if he surrenders, can he, as one of the masterminds, escape responsibility?
Accompanied by a loud roar, the seventh soul ring behind Zhao Yang flickered, and his body expanded again, turning into a five-meter-tall giant bear. He swung out his huge bear claws and was about to fan towards Ji Juechen in the air.
His soul power is solid, and he is an orthodox soul master who does not abuse drugs. At this moment, he is using his martial soul. His martial soul is called Violent Golden Bear, which is a beast martial soul with excellent strength and defense.
But he is not the only seven-ring soul master, Ji Juechen is also one.
Seven soul rings, two yellow, two purple and three black, floated together behind Ji Juechen. All the soul power in his body was integrated into the sword in his hand while flying, just to launch a thundering attack at this moment.
The cold sword intent gathered in one place, completely destroying the beast-like violent aura.
Zhao Yang's huge bear body froze at this moment, his eyes looking up at Ji Juechen were full of disbelief. He turned his eyes slightly and looked down with difficulty. The meteorite sword had pierced his chest at some point, and blood gushed out.
"Ah——" The thick and hard leather armor was like white paper under the piercing of the sharp metal, and Zhao Yang's last breath disappeared in a painful scream.
Ji Juechen was still hanging in the air, his white robe dancing in the wind, his eyes indifferent, as if what he had done was not worth mentioning.
Zhao Yang's bear corpse just stood there, and the blood dyed the originally bright yellow general flag red. No one dared to speak on the huge hillside. Everyone looked here in amazement, unable to believe that the battle ended so quickly.
Their commander, who had been full of vigor and vitality before, now turned into a corpse.
The general was dead, and the army was leaderless. After a brief silence, chaos and noise were about to come. Fear continued to spread among the army, and there was a tendency for them to scatter like birds and beasts.
