Chapter 26 Soul Hunting Forest Suddenly, Sunan stopped.
"Be careful, a soul beast is coming!"
After giving instructions to Chu Chengzhou who was following him, Sunan looked at the bushes ahead.
Even though he is a Fourth Ring Soul Sect, the Soul Hunting Forest is not a kind place. If you are really careless, it is not impossible to fall into trouble.
What's more, he didn't come alone now, there was a dragster behind him! Soon, a rustling sound reached Chu Chengzhou's ears, and vaguely, there seemed to be a bit more fishy smell in the air. The smell was not strong, and even had a faint sweetness and tea fragrance.
"Poison soul beast?"
Su Nan raised his eyebrows, his soul power flashed, a crimson spear martial soul tool appeared in his hand, and four soul rings of yellow, yellow, yellow and purple bloomed on his body.
Chu Chengzhou clearly saw that although his grandfather's first soul ring was a century-old soul ring, its color was very light and it was estimated that it was only about 200 years old.
The second soul ring is much darker in color and should be more than 500 years old.
The third soul ring was supposed to be a purple thousand-year soul ring, but unfortunately, my grandfather had no background, so he could only make do with the addition of a hundred-year soul ring.
However, looking at the deep yellow color with purple hints, Chu Chengzhou knew that this was a century-old soul ring that was over 900 years old, but not a thousand years old.
As for the fourth spirit ring, well, it's lavender, and the year is probably only one or two thousand years. It's not as good as those spirit masters with the best combination of spirit rings.
Not long after, the rustling stopped, and Chu Chengzhou looked over and saw a dark green triangular snake head standing up in the bushes, with a pair of small ruby-like eyes looking in their direction.
"Is this a mandala snake?"
Chu Chengzhou immediately recognized who this uninvited guest was.
After spending three years at Notting College, he didn't just go around and read a lot of books about soul beasts while practicing.
He might not be able to recognize genetically mutated or rare soul beasts, but he would naturally recognize soul beasts like the Mandala Snake, which were relatively common in the soul hunting forest.
"Go away~!"
Su Nan pointed the red flame spear martial soul in his hand, and his aura bloomed, and he shouted sharply at the mandala snake in the distance.
Although soul beasts are renewable resources, their growth cycle is very long. This mandala snake did not cause any harm to their grandfather and grandson. Naturally, Sunan had no intention of killing it and just had to drive it away.
Of course, this mandala snake is not very old and has no wisdom, so naturally it cannot understand his words.
However, lack of wisdom does not mean lack of brains. When encountering a "two-legged soul beast" with a strong aura, as long as it is not the kind of extremely bloodthirsty soul beast, it will usually run far away to avoid losing its life.
Sure enough, after Sunan released his 'powerful' momentum, the mandala snake in the bush shuddered, quickly shrank its head, and swam away from the edge.
'Huh?With a snake body of nearly four meters, could this mandala snake be the snake wrapped around its mother? '
Seeing the Datura snake that was frightened away and was nearly four meters long, Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but think to himself.
Tang San: Drink~!Look at my first soul skill, my mother’s entanglement! "Xiao Chengzhou, were you scared by the mandala snake just now?"
After drinking away the mandala snake, he turned around and saw that Chu Chengzhou was a little dazed. Sunan said with a playful smile.
Chu Chengzhou: "."
Are you kidding, am I afraid? Well, I'm really a little scared. The nearly four-meter-long venomous snake has dense scales that rise and fall when it swims. Who wouldn't be afraid? After some interludes, the grandfather and grandson continued to search for their target in the soul hunting forest.
More than two hours later.
"Hey~, grandpa, that one is the azure tree, right?"
Chu Chengzhou pointed to a 'small sapling' not far ahead with thick branches, about seven meters high, a crown of about [-] square meters, and dense dark green leaves on the 's right, they are saplings. There are towering trees dozens of meters high in the Soul Hunting Forest. Trees with a height of seven meters can really only be regarded as saplings.
"Not bad! But judging from its smell, it's probably not yet 600 years old."
Sunan nodded and said.
Judging the year based on the size of the soul beast is actually unscientific and can easily lead to errors.
Just like people are tall, short, fat and thin, due to different growth environments, different nutrients they absorb or the food they eat, soul beasts of the same race and year still have differences in body shape.
If you want to most accurately judge the age of a soul beast, you have to look at the fluctuations in its soul power.
Of course, if the perception ability is insufficient, it is better to look at the body shape. At least the error in body shape will not be too big.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Chengzhou said: "Let's list it as a backup target first! If I can find a suitable one in these two days, then I won't use this azure tree. If I can't find a suitable one, I will use my first soul ring." It works too.”
"Alright!"
Sunan nodded.
Perhaps it was fate that favored him, or perhaps the heaven took pity on Chu Chengzhou, a 'super loser' who could cultivate to level 10 quasi-soul master in three years. Early the next morning, the two of them met a suitable target.
A sky-green tree with a height of more than eight meters and a crown of nearly fifty square meters.
"Little Chengzhou, the age of this azure tree is probably around 650, that's about it."
Sunan said to Chu Chengzhou.
"Well, that's it!"
Chu Chengzhou nodded.
Later, the grandfather and grandson began to pick up dead wood nearby.
What’s the explanation?Naturally, it was to kill this azure tree.
In Douluo Continent, there are many restrictions for soul masters to absorb soul rings. One of them is that the target soul beast must be killed by the soul master himself, or the target soul beast must not be contaminated with the soul power of any living creature during its death. Aura, otherwise the soul ring that explodes cannot be absorbed by the soul master.
If a master leads a team to hunt animal soul beasts, he only needs to let the master subdue them or inflict serious injuries to the point of death, and then let the soul master who needs to absorb the soul ring to advance complete the last-ditch attack.
But there is a big difference between plant-type soul beasts and animal-type soul beasts. The average soul master has no eyesight to tell whether a plant-type soul beast is seriously injured and on the verge of death.
Maybe the target will be dead after the next hit, or maybe the target will still have combat effectiveness after the next hit.
Moreover, unless a plant-type soul beast has condensed a core object such as the 'tree heart', there is no obvious danger.
Just like the eight-meter-high azure tree in front of him, it was really not easy for Chu Chengzhou to complete the last hit.
Fortunately, plant-type soul beasts generally have a fatal flaw, that is, they are inconvenient to move, or simply unable to move.
He gathered some dry firewood, poured some kerosene on it, and with just one spark, he could just sit back and wait for the soul ring to appear.
An ax to chop, a saw to cut?nonexistent!
It is precisely because of this obvious flaw in plant-type soul beasts of lower vintages that the number of plant-type soul masters with white first soul rings on the mainland is far less than that of other types of soul masters.
