Chapter 114 Soul Hunting at Sunset Early the next morning, at the gate of Lanba Academy.
Standing in front of the white marble academy gate, looking at the seven young men and women arriving one after another, Flanders and Liu Erlong couldn't help but feel filled with pride.
At present, except for Ma Hongjun, whose soul power level is slightly lower, everyone else's soul power level has reached level 40, and two of them are above level 40.
As for level 40 soul power, this is a level that is difficult for more than half of the soul masters in the mainland to reach. Even soul masters who can be called geniuses generally have to reach it in their 20s.
But among the boys and girls in front of me, the oldest is only 16 years old, and the youngest is only 13 years old.
The two of them can foresee that each of them will be the trendsetter of the times in the future.
As their two deans, Flanders and Liu Erlong were both honored.
"Huh? Dean Flender, Dean Erlong, and Teacher Zhao, why are there no people here?"
Seeing that there were only Flanders and Liu Erlong, and no Zhao Wuji, Oscar asked with some confusion.
He clearly remembered that after the actual training yesterday afternoon, Liu Erlong announced that she would take them to the Sunset Forest to hunt for souls with Flanders and Zhao Wuji. Why was Zhao Wuji absent?
"Teacher Zhao is not feeling well, so he will not go hunting this time."
Flanders pushed up his glasses, appearing calm on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart, and explained.
Suddenly, Chu Chengzhou, who was standing next to Oscar, raised his eyebrows. Not feeling well? Zhao Wuji, the majestic Seven-Huan Soul Sage, was fine yesterday and didn't fight with the masters. How could he be feeling unwell? However, Chu Chengzhou didn't care. This time he went to the Sunset Forest to hunt for souls. The target was only the fourth soul ring beast. With Flanders and Liu Erlong leading the team, it was more than enough. One less Zhao Wuji would be fine.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Erlong cleared his throat and said, "Let me tell you something! Although Flanders and I are going to hunt for souls in Sunset Forest this time, there is one thing I want to state in advance.
After discussing with Flender, we decided that the entire process of this soul hunting will be completed by you yourself. We will not take action easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
And this soul hunting trip can also be regarded as the first stage of your graduation exam. As for the second stage, it is the senior soul master competition in a few months. Do you understand? "
As he spoke, Liu Erlong looked at everyone seriously.
However, when looking at Chu Chengzhou, he specifically added: "Chu Chengzhou, in view of your special situation, you are not allowed to use other methods except that Azure Tree Summoned Beast."
Chu Chengzhou's strength is a bit beyond the standard. If he is not restricted, then this soul hunting trip will lose the meaning of experience.
Chu Chengzhou: "."
I was named and targeted because I was too strong?
As soon as Liu Erlong finished speaking, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but ask: "Dean Erlong, how can we pass it?"
Immediately, Liu Erlong smiled and nodded: "That's a good question! In fact, it's not difficult to pass the test.
In the first stage, you can rely on your collective strength to hunt soul beasts that suit you, and exclude encountering soul beasts that are far more powerful than you. As long as Flender and I do not come to the rescue during the soul hunting process, boy Chu You haven't used any other means besides the Azure Tree Summoned Beast, so you've passed the test!
As for the second stage, it’s easy!As long as you just come back with a championship, you can graduate! "
It was rare that Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who were usually a bit out of character, did not complain.
With teamwork, it is not difficult to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings.
After all, they are all soul masters with the best matching soul rings and powerful martial souls, and they are also a very well-matched team.
There are supports, food, agility attacks, strong attacks, and there are also people who can act as healers, defenders (Azure Tree Spirit Summoner) and controls (Xiao Wu) at any time. Such a well-matched team can be hunted by teammates in the team. The soul beast is just advanced, so it's really not that difficult.
As for the champion of the Soul Master Competition? There is Chu Chengzhou's Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Summoned Beast: The bear is here, let alone they are not useless snacks, even if they are 'one god with six pits', it is enough for people to go there.
"Okay, let's go now!"
Seeing that no one refuted or put forward different opinions, Liu Erlong gave the order to set off, and a group of nine people set off towards the Sunset Forest.
Liu Erlong and Flanders took the lead, followed by seven people from Chu Chengzhou.
In order to avoid being too showy, after leaving Tiandou City, Chu Chengzhou recruited Xiaobai and Xiaohong.
If you are on your way, you must have a mount!
Compared with Star Dou Forest, Sunset Forest has many differences in addition to its size and area.
The Star Dou Forest is located in the central area of the continent, within the tropical range. Most of the forest is dominated by tropical plants.
The Sunset Forest is located in the middle of the Tiandou Empire. Although it is not considered a frigid zone, the temperature is much lower than that of the Star Dou Forest. This causes the plants here to belong more to the temperate zone unique to the northern part of the continent. plant.
Tropical plants feel denser and moister, while temperate plants feel refreshing but not as dense as tropical plants.
Therefore, it is much easier to move in the Sunset Forest than in the Star Forest. At least in most cases, there is no need for someone to clear the way in front of you and overcome obstacles.
Since the scale of the Sunset Forest is much smaller than that of the Star Dou Forest, and it is located in the imperial city circle of the Tiandou Empire, and has the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, one of the top three sects, as a neighbor, it can be said that there are many high-level soul masters gathered there.
Therefore, although there are a lot of soul beasts in the Sunset Forest, not many can reach the age of ten thousand years or more, and most of them have cultivation levels below ten thousand years.
Compared with the Star Dou Forest, if you want to hunt a soul beast that suits you in the Sunset Forest, you must not only have strength, but also have a lot of patience.
It has been more than half a day since we entered the Sunset Forest. The number of spirit beasts we encountered on the road was quite large, but the age was generally not high.
Although I also encountered several thousand-year-old soul beasts during this period, they were all at the level of just over a thousand years old, which was obviously not in line with everyone's pursuit.
Fortunately, these thousand-year-old soul beasts were self-aware and did not take the initiative to provoke Chu Chengzhou and others, so the group simply ignored them.
"Let's rest today and look for you tomorrow!"
After looking at the darkening sky, Flanders called out to everyone.
Thanks to the storage soul guide, everyone was well prepared. In a short time, two tents, one large and one small, had been set up.
Looking at the tent that had been set up, Liu Erlong thought for a while and said to everyone: "Xiao Wu, let me share a tent with you three girls!"
According to the original plan, there were three teachers in one tent and seven students in one tent.
But now that Zhao Wuji was feeling unwell and couldn't come, she and Flanders were the only ones left.
There were seven students, four boys and three girls, so Liu Erlong thought that he would just sleep in the same tent with the three girls.
After all, she and Flanders were alone, so it would be okay if they didn't have any conditions, but since they had this condition, it would feel weird if they lived in the same tent again.
As soon as Liu Erlong said this, Flanders immediately changed his expression and hurriedly winked at Xiao Wu and the others.
I finally managed to get rid of my old brother Zhao Wuji last night, so this must not go wrong again.
"Eh? Dean Flender, is there sand in your eyes?"
Seeing Flanders winking there, Ning Rongrong asked very uninterestedly.
Flender: "."
How come this dean has a student with such a lack of discernment like you? ! "Ahem~, Erlong, this soul hunting is an experience for the little monsters. If you live with Xiao Wu and the others, their vigilance will inevitably decrease, but the effect of the experience will not be achieved."
After glaring at Ning Rongrong angrily, Flanders said seriously.
"is it?"
Liu Erlong raised his eyebrows.
"That's natural! If you don't believe me, just ask Ma Hongjun and the others."
Flanders turned his head and pointed at Ma Hongjun, and by the way, he used the blind spot of Liu Erlong's sight to wink.
At the critical moment, Ma Hongjun still had some sharp eyesight. Combined with Zhao Wuji's sudden unwellness this morning, he immediately realized that his teacher Flanders was most likely thinking of having a fight with Dean Erlong. The world's gone!
Immediately, Ma Hongjun nodded and said: "Dean Erlong, in order to achieve better training results, I think it is better for the seven of us to live together. Otherwise, as my teacher said, our vigilance will be lowered. .
Another thing is that there will always be times when you and the teacher will no longer protect us, so we cannot develop a dependence mentality. "
My teacher has been single for 50 years, and he finally takes the initiative. As a disciple, he can't help, but he can't hold back and play devil's advocate, right?
Hearing this, Flanders was overjoyed and secretly thought that this disciple was not in vain! Although this little fat guy is a bit out of character on weekdays, he still comes in handy at critical moments.
Liu Erlong thought about it in his mind and felt that what Ma Hongjun said was somewhat reasonable, so he stopped worrying about it.
Night had fallen, a bonfire was lit, and after dinner, Flanders and Liu Erlong entered the small tent.
As for the work of keeping vigil, it naturally fell on Chu Chengzhou and others.
Although the Sunset Forest is not as dangerous as the Star Dou Forest, soul beasts still appear at night, so it is still very necessary to arrange for manpower to keep watch.
But this is a simple matter, and you don’t even need to arrange for someone to keep a vigil.
The True Spirit Flag Martial Soul Tool was in hand, and the first soul ring on Chu Chengzhou's body shone brightly. With the surge of soul power, a huge green tree suddenly formed beside the two tents.
As early as more than a month ago, the year of the Azure Tree Spirit Summoning was upgraded to the ten thousand year year by him. As for the ten thousand year spirit summoning, even though Xiaoqing is a brainless plant-type spirit summoning, he still has good abilities. wisdom.
Although the level of intelligence is not comparable to that of normal people, it is absolutely no problem to be able to do night watch work and drive away some spirit beasts that are not too strong.
There was nothing special about the bunks in Flanders and Liu Erlong's tent, since it was just the two of them anyway.
But the tents and bunks on Chu Chengzhou's side were very particular.
For the sake of the two teachers, the seven of them seemed quite harmonious and lived in the same tent, but among the seven, Dai Mubai was undoubtedly the one being squeezed out by the other six.
So, in the tent, Dai Mubai slept on the far left, and from left to right were Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Chu Chengzhou, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.
As the night grew darker, the tent became quiet.
After a long day's journey during the day, and with Xiao Qing keeping vigil outside, everyone went to bed early, at least on the surface.
At this time, Chu Chengzhou closed his eyes, lying on his side and holding the sleeping Xiao Wu in his arms.
But his consciousness had already pulled Ning Rongrong, who was a body away from him, into an illusion that looked like a luxurious suite in a simulation, role play. "Bad guy, don't tear off my socks~"
The ragged "injection nurse" Ning Rongrong scolded Chu Chengzhou and gave Chu Chengzhou a pink punch.
"Hey, Rongrong, these socks are just for tearing!"
Chu Chengzhou, the young and handsome hospital leader, kept moving his hands, tearing at the white silk sling on the little nurse's thigh.
After a while, the girl's singing voice rang out in the fantasy.
Not to mention the happiness of the boys and girls, Flanders in the tent next door also started to get excited.
In the darkness, Flanders twisted his body quietly and slowly approached the sleeping Liu Erlong bit by bit.
The tent was not too small. Originally, the distance between the two was three feet, but due to Flanders' unremitting efforts, the distance between them was now less than half a foot.
A few minutes later, Flanders felt secretly happy when he saw that he and Sister Erlong would be close to each other.
"Shhhh-"
Just when Flanders was about to work harder, there was a sudden burst of sound outside the tent.
The sudden sound immediately frightened Flanders to the point where he didn't dare to move.
Perhaps the sound of breaking through the air was too loud, and Liu Erlong, who had not slept too deeply, was awakened.
"Uh, Flanders, why are you here next to me?"
Just as he was about to stand up to check the situation outside, Liu Erlong saw Flanders who was almost leaning against him.
"Erlong, it's getting cold, it'll be warmer if we lean together~"
Got caught, Flanders said with a stern expression.
Liu Erlong: "."
In the tent next door, Chu Chengzhou, who was happily in a fantasy world, also noticed the movement outside the tent and quickly focused part of his mind on the outside world.
The monkey version of the same model as Monkey Brother activated his flaming eyes. Across the tent, Chu Chengzhou saw a red python coming in the distance, and the sound that broke through the air was Xiao Qing who was keeping watch at night, waving his hand. The trees and vines drove away this uninvited guest.
"Don't sleep, get up! Oscar, your prey is here!"
Seeing the uninvited red python, Chu Chengzhou quickly canceled the illusion, woke up Oscar, who was sleeping next to him, and then left the tent, so that the red python would not run away when he realized that he was no match for Xiao Qing.
Even though Xiao Qing is a healing spirit summoner, the classification of soul beasts is not as obvious as that of soul masters. With his own age of ten thousand years, his strength is not comparable to that of combat type ten thousand year soul beasts, but six to seven thousand years old. The level is still there.
As for that big red python, it looked like it was only over 4000 years old, so it was no match for Xiao Qing.
As expected, the presence of prey was sensed, but there was a blocking tree guarding the prey that was even more powerful than itself. The red python had already decided to give up.
After all, there are plenty of prey in the forest, so there is no need to risk fighting this tree.
"Xiaoqing, wrap it up!"
Seeing that the big red python was showing signs of running away, Chu Chengzhou immediately gave instructions to Xiao Qing.
Suddenly, a large number of thick tree roots sprang out from the surrounding ground. Together with the dense vines, Xiao Qing cut off the red python's retreat.
After a while, everyone who was sleeping in their clothes walked out of the tent.
"Oscar, that red fire anaconda that is more than 4000 years old, I think it suits you very well."
Pointing to the red python in the distance that was more than five feet long and as thick as a water tank, Chu Chengzhou said to Oscar.
"Red fire anaconda? Does it have any outstanding abilities?"
Glancing at the red python, Oscar was a little puzzled.
"I don't know!"
Ning Rongrong on the side rolled her eyes and explained: "The red fire anaconda is a python-like soul beast. In addition to breathing fire, it also has a unique auxiliary talent ability. The specific effect is to spit out fire." Red mist.
Whether you inhale or come into contact with this red mist, it will stimulate your own potential and temporarily increase your strength.
However, this auxiliary ability has some side effects, it will be accompanied by a strong feeling of heat, just like taking an aphrodisiac. Except for the red fire anaconda itself, other soul beasts or soul masters are not immune.
And if you expose it for too long or inhale too much.”
As a girl, Ning Rongrong did not elaborate on the specific consequences.
"Well, Rongrong is right. The red fire anaconda has this kind of innate ability. Oscar, if you add its soul ring, it will most likely form a sausage with the side effect of increasing your strength."
Nodding, Chu Chengzhou continued.
"I want it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Oscar said quickly.
Soul power food that can increase strength is definitely one of the must-have soul skills for a high-level food-based soul master!
The next second, tigers roared, phoenixes roared, and cats meowed, and Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing were possessed by martial spirits.
"The nine treasures turn out to contain colored glaze. The first one is: strength, the second one is: speed, and the third one is: soul!"
Ning Rongrong's hands bloomed with nine-colored brilliance, and the nine-story pagoda appeared. The three yellow, yellow, and purple soul rings on his body flashed one after another, and the colorful streams of light surged out and sank into the bodies of the three of them.
Xiao Wu didn't take action, otherwise she could have controlled the red fire anaconda with just a second soul skill: Charm.
With a tap of his foot, Zhu Zhuqing, possessed by the ghost spirit cat, transformed into a lurking assassin and disappeared into the night.
"The third soul skill, Phoenix Wings Sky Soar! The second soul skill, Lava Phoenix!"
With a soft drink, Ma Hongjun's second and third soul rings lit up one after another, and a pair of black phoenix wings with orange flames appeared behind him, fluttering and flying into the air.
"The third soul skill, White Tiger King Kong Transformation!"
The muscles in Dai Mubai's body swelled, and a pair of tiger claws flashed with cold light, and he rushed towards the red fire anaconda whose retreat was cut off by Xiao Qing's tree roots and vines in the distance.
"The first soul skill, Lava Fire Wire!"
In mid-air, Ma Hongjun's cheeks swelled, and with the surge of soul power, in an instant, a blazing magma ray shot down, lighting up the surrounding night sky.
Sensing the strong soul power fluctuations above his head, the red fire anaconda who was fighting with Xiao Qing quickly twisted its snake body to avoid Ma Hongjun's blow.
However, Xiao Qing was not an unintelligent spirit summoner. Several thick tree roots slammed out, knocking back the red fire anaconda's dodged snake body back to its original position.
The next moment, a line of hot magma descended, like a pile of yellow mud, stuck to the red fire anaconda's snake head.
Even though the red fire anaconda itself is a fire attribute soul beast with good fire resistance, its red scales, which are not too strong, were still eroded by the hot lava.
Moreover, Ma Hongjun's lava fire line is different from the attacks of ordinary fire-type soul masters. Ordinary flames have no entity, but the hot lava has entity, just like the difference between ordinary incendiary bombs and napalm incendiary bombs.
The scorching heat from the lava not only eroded through the scales on the red fire anaconda's forehead, but also scorched the flesh and blood under the scales black.
The fever in the head refers to the red fire anaconda at this time.
"His-"
Intense pain came, and the red fire anaconda immediately rolled and screamed.
"Second soul skill, White Tiger Lie Wave!"
A ball of milky white light struck, hitting the wound on the red fire anaconda's forehead.
"boom--"
A white light suddenly appeared, followed by a roar, and blackened scales mixed with minced flesh and blood spattered, directly giving the red fire anaconda a concussion, revealing the forest-white snake bones mixed with blood.
The intense pain on the top of the head caused the red fire anaconda to instinctively struggle, its huge snake body dancing wildly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dai Mubai strode forward and waved his tiger claws in an airtight manner, leaving huge claw marks on the red fire anaconda's body that were deep enough to show the bones.
Whether it was because of his youth or lack of strength, it was difficult for Dai Mubai to attack only one point. Although it left dense claw marks on the red fire anaconda's body, it did not cause any real fatal injuries.
"hiss--"
After coming back to his senses, the red fire anaconda suddenly opened its mouth, a red light glowed all over its body, and a red mist spurted out towards its huge snake body.
Being besieged, Red Fire Anaconda was anxious and had to use his trump card to temporarily increase his strength.
Suddenly, in everyone's senses, the strength of the red fire anaconda immediately increased significantly.
Seeing the red mist spreading rapidly, Dai Mubai's pupils shrank and he quickly retreated.
But he was still a step too slow. Because he was possessed by the martial soul and activated the amplifying soul skill, the clothes on his upper body were blown out and a lot of his exposed skin was inevitably contaminated with a little red mist.
The next second, Dai Mubai only felt that his strength had been slightly enhanced, but the side effects that Ning Rongrong had explained to Oscar earlier also appeared, and a strange feeling of heat surged into his heart.
However, the battle was not over yet, and Dai Mubai did not care so much. After the red mist dissipated, he continued to cooperate with Xiaoqing's large number of tree roots and dense vines, as well as Ma Hongjun, who occasionally spewed hot magma rays in mid-air, and The red fire anacondas fought fiercely.
Faced with the intensive attacks of the two people and Kazuki, Chihuo Anaconda used his trump card and his natural ability, which greatly increased his strength. However, he was still unable to beat four hands with two fists, and his defeat was clearly evident.
After fighting again for several rounds, the Red Fire Anaconda made an accident, and his huge body was knocked away by Xiao Qing's large number of powerful tree roots, and fell towards a big tree not far away.
