Chapter 46 46: Sunset Forest
A thin mist rises from the forest at sunset in the early morning, and a few low roars warn every outsider in the territory.
After simply roasting some soft-bone rabbit meat left over from last night, the two of them stepped into the forest.
There are several paths in the dense primeval forest that were carved out after countless lives were buried.
They have many targets this time, as long as they meet one of them.
It is still easy for agility attack spirit masters with cat martial spirits to find suitable spirit beasts.
As soon as he entered the forest, Shuitian released his soul power to isolate the fog.
The morning mist in this primitive forest sometimes produces toxins. It's okay for him to be overbearing in his own cultivation. It's not a good thing for Zhu Zhuqing's current cultivation to inhale too much.
Looking back, Zhu Zhuqing's face was calm and full of expectation.
"Don't leave this range."
He was opening the way in front, and Zhu Zhuqing only had to follow him. Feeling full of security, he smiled a little behind him, "Yes, teacher."
Without stopping, the two of them quickly passed through the peripheral areas where ten-year and century-old soul beasts lived.
During the process, Shuitian released his own aura, and no blind soul beast was looking for death.
As he stepped into the living area of the thousand-year soul beast, the fog gradually dissipated as the sun rose. Shuitian also slowed down his steps and at the same time regained his whole body's momentum.
From now on, he will not take the initiative to release the martial spirit aura, which will scare the nearby spirit beasts. Whether he can meet the right one depends on luck.
Before they could go deeper, a fishy wind came from the jungle in front of them.
Something moved rapidly through the dense forest, and the plants swayed along with it.
Zhu Zhuqing said with full vigilance, "Teacher, there is a spirit beast targeting us."
The sense of smell of spirit beasts is very sensitive. As long as you step into their territory, you will most likely be discovered by them. As long as you judge that it is an opponent it can kill, you will definitely attack. There are very few kind-hearted and peace-loving spirit beasts.
This is even more obvious in the Far North.
She couldn't see what was in the jungle, nor could Shuitian, and he couldn't see through.
But his powerful mental power had already been drawn into a plan, and he sighed with some disappointment: "Step back a little."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed out of the jungle ahead.
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but shrink his pupils, "Teacher, be careful!"
The shadow's entire body was black, with only the two exposed saber teeth shining with black light.
It looks like a big cat-like tiger soul beast. There is no king-like pattern on its forehead, and its head does not look majestic. Instead, it is somewhat sinister and evil.
The tiger's claws were sharp and long, its body exuded blood, and its red eyes stared at the two of them.
This was a monster with a head and body nearly six meters long, and it just attacked Shuitian.
This thing is rare and not considered a rare species. It is just more ferocious than ordinary tigers.
Shuitian moved, and he didn't want to wait for this monster to fall in front of him just to look cool. The smell would be terrible.
He stretched out his hand and slapped his hand neatly, and there was still white smoke on the palm.
The giant black tiger in front of him was instantly frozen in mid-air and fell to the ground in an instant.
The ice cube fell to the ground and created a deep pit, showing no signs of breaking. The frozen black tiger's red eyes were filled with fear. It found that the blood in its body seemed to be frozen for just a moment, and its consciousness began to blur.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. He didn't release his martial spirit, but just gave a light palm and froze this thousand-year-level soul beast with one palm.
This kind of strength was beyond her reach. She didn’t know how many years of practice it would take to catch up. She couldn’t control her emotions and said with emotion, “Teacher, you are really strong~”
Shuitian had long been immune to other people's praises, and said without looking back: "This is Biao, a mutant of the tiger. Very few tiger soul beasts can give birth to such offspring. They have a ferocious temperament and like to devour the same kind. If you are alone in the future, Be careful when you encounter it, this thing is extremely fast. It's a pity that this guy only has 1,500 years of cultivation, otherwise he would be qualified to become your third soul ring."
Zhu Zhuqing took a few steps forward and carefully noted its appearance, feeling hesitant in his heart.
This age is already very good. Dai Mubai's third soul ring is only 1,500 years old.
"Teacher, since this soul beast suits me~"
She suddenly stopped talking.
Shuitian turned back, his eyes full of scrutiny and helplessness: "If you want to become a strong man, you have to take a long-term view! Zhuqing, does your destiny allow you to absorb this kind of soul ring? What's more, you have already taken that thing, Such a soul ring is no longer worthy of who you are now.”
These words touched Zhu Zhuqing's heart. In her current situation, should she still choose a soul ring like most soul masters? What’s more, I have such a great teacher to help me!
"I understand, teacher, thank you." Zhu Zhu came to his senses quickly and bowed slightly to apologize, not wanting him to be even a little disappointed in himself.
"Keep going, my minimum requirement for your third soul ring is two thousand years." Shuitian actually valued her higher, but in order to make her feel at ease, he still said it lower.
The strength of soul beasts increases greatly every hundred and thousand years. It is possible for a 2001-year-old soul beast to instantly kill a 1999-year-old soul beast.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and continued to move forward with him. This time he walked for nearly half an hour before encountering a new spirit beast.
I think the spirit beasts around here either didn't come to provoke them, or were killed by the beast just now.
This spirit beast is a rare plant-type spirit beast, a large white flower exuding pink pollen.
The stamens are intertwined with fangs like the mouthparts of a creature, and the petals look like steel.
There are many flowers and plants growing around it, covering the white bones on the ground.
Before Zhu Zhuqing could notice the pollen floating towards the two of them, Shuitian had already pushed out a palm to blow away the pollen and freeze the big white flower.
The plant-based soul beast is the spirit-loving peony. Its pollen has a psychedelic effect and induces life to undergo devouring evolution. It is characterized by its ability to devoure souls.
This thing is very scary, and many soul masters have fallen into its pollen. Shuitian gave Zhu Zhuqing a few words of science before starting to move forward.
But their luck was very bad. Later they encountered several thousand-year soul beasts, but none of them were suitable for Zhu Zhuqing.
Only the lightning that hit him looked good, but Shuitian couldn't help but have disappointment on his face when he caught it.
The Lightning Rabbit can be recognized at a glance by grabbing its rabbit ears.
This kind of soul beast is extremely fast and has the ability to teleport over short distances at the thousand-year level.
The one in my hand has just passed a thousand years, and it's a pity that I can't gamble on the magical teleportation skill.
The sky is getting dark
A low slope became their camping spot tonight, and the unlucky lightning rabbit became their dinner as expected.
The bonfire drove away the cold in the forest, and the smell of meat made people forget the disappointment of not meeting a suitable soul beast today.
The man in front of me who is serious about grilling meat occasionally sprinkles some training. He is knowledgeable and powerful, and he treats himself very well~
Zhu Zhuqing felt that she was very lucky to meet such a teacher and it was not in vain that she came all the way to the Tiandou Empire.
