Chapter 11 The Gold-Eating Leopard
The dusk of the setting sun filtered through the layers of tree crowns, and Tang San, who was splashing the powder, caught a hint of unusual movement from the corner of his eyes.
Being in the Tang Sect's secret knowledge and having two lifetimes of experience, Tang San instantly caught the sound of breaking through the air from the side. Between the lightning and flint, Tang San stepped on the ghost figure and avoided the dark sound at an extremely subtle distance. Claws coming from everywhere.
When he focused his attention, he saw a golden leopard looking at him cautiously.
Shi Yi and others also noticed Tang San's movement, and they quickly gathered together.
This leopard is completely different from what you usually see. Its size is larger than what Shi Yi saw in the zoo in his previous life. Its sharp claws with a strong metallic luster show its extraordinary features, and its extremely developed legs. Strong and strong, sinking deeply into the dirt with every step.
"This is...the gold-eating leopard?" Looking at the golden leopard, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Shi Yi also had a look of surprise on his face. He had not slacked off at all during the two years he had been with Yu Xiaogang, and he could tell at a glance that the age of the Gold-Eating Leopard in front of him was extremely suitable.
"Is there really such a thing as luck in this world?" Shi Yi thought to himself.
If the mandala snake in the original work was lucky, then could the gold-devouring leopard also be a coincidence?
Shi Yi is not sure. In his opinion, the so-called luck is just something destined by God, and in this world, destiny often means God's decision.
Seeing that Shi Yi had a large number of people, the Gold Devouring Leopard showed human seriousness and dignity on its face. The golden hair on its body exploded, and the sharp claws on the soles of its feet stretched out, faintly exuding golden aura, trying to intimidate Shi Yi and the others. .
Shi Yi looked at the Gold-Eating Leopard and was slightly surprised. This soul beast was more intelligent than he imagined.
"I'll leave it to you." Yu Xiaogang smiled at the dean beside him.
The dean nodded, his expression looking extremely relaxed. With the strength of his soul sect, he could definitely kill an ordinary thousand-year-old soul beast, let alone this ordinary century-old soul beast.
Shi Yi was a little curious about this dean who didn't have much description. The next second he saw the dean summon a long sword in an instant, and four soul rings of white, yellow, yellow and purple lingered around him.
Feeling the burst of aura from the dean, the Golden Leopard's feet couldn't help but retreat slightly, as if ready to escape at any time.
Shi Yi watched seriously. This was the first time he saw a serious soul master fighting. As for the children in the academy, it was just a small fight.
As the dean's soul ring lit up, the long knife in his hand also lit up. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, watching every move of the Gold-Eating Leopard. The blade of the long knife glowed faintly blue under the moonlight, and the blade was so sharp that it seemed like it could even split the air into two. The dean's feet were steady and his body leaned forward slightly, ready to fight at any time.
Suddenly, the Gold-devouring Leopard let out a low roar. He understood that he could not escape at this time. To escape at this time was equivalent to handing his back to his opponent. He kicked his hind legs violently, like a golden lightning, towards the courtyard. Long pounce. Its sharp claws became faint with the light of the setting sun, with the power to tear everything apart and a strong sound of breaking through the air. The dean's eyes flashed, and the long knife drew a perfect arc in the air, facing the attack of the golden leopard's sharp claws.
The blade collided with the gold-devouring leopard's claws, causing a crisp metal collision sound. The dean used his strength, turned his body, and dragged the long knife with the force. With fast and strong force, he cut through the golden leopard's fur. The gold-devouring leopard felt the pain and let out a roar, but it did not flinch, but instead pounced on the dean more ferociously.
"Is this the battle of a soul master? Although it is simple, simple moves can become extremely effective with the speed and power of the burst of soul power. No wonder no one in this world studies moves and the like." Shi B thought secretly.
Obviously, in this era when most soul masters are unable to cultivate to the level of Soul Saint, moves are not that important, cultivation is the most important, and those who cannot even reach the peak of cultivation obviously do not have the qualifications to create They can use powerful moves, but Haotian Sect is obviously the exception.
The dean did not retreat but advanced, relying on his own reactions to dodge. Although he looked a little embarrassed, he accurately weaved in and out of the Golden Leopard's attacks. Every time he swung the sword, it went towards the Golden Leopard's vital points accurately. The gap in cultivation and intelligence was revealed at this moment, and most of the dean's attacks were able to hit smoothly.
The battle became more intense. The silhouettes of the dean and the gold-eating leopard intertwined in the forest. The light of the sword and the shadow of the leopard intertwined into a thrilling picture. In the end, in repeated battles of strength and speed, the dean's long knife cut off the two hind legs of the gold-devouring leopard. The gold-devouring leopard whined and watched as everyone fell to the ground with unwillingness in their eyes.
Having lost its hind legs, it could no longer move normally. At this time, Yu Xiaogang took out a dagger from nowhere and handed it to Tang San: "Xiao San, this decision affects your entire soul master career. The year of the beast is right. If you decide, go and kill it yourself.”
Hearing this, Tang San took the dagger, hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards the gold-devouring leopard firmly. He was not very confident in his own plan, but very confident in the Tang Sect's secret technique. In a wild world that has not yet been popularized, Tang Sect’s unique skills will definitely shine with their own light in this world.
Soon, the sharp blade pierced the head, and faint yellow light spots began to condense above the body of the gold-devouring leopard, and a yellow soul ring appeared in front of everyone.
Shi Yi looked quite interested in this scene, and asked Yu Xiaogang: "Teacher, do you know why things like soul rings appear after the death of soul beasts?"
Yu Xiaogang was slightly startled when he heard this. For him, this kind of question was like why people were born, and he couldn't answer it.
"It's not like no one has asked this question, but no one knows the answer. The current mainstream explanation for the soul ring is that after the death of the soul beast, the energy body formed by the cultivation, blood and residual soul of the soul beast." Yu Xiaogang said slowly.
Shi Yi nodded slightly. Yes, soul rings generally have these things as Yu Xiaogang said, but why can a soul master absorb the soul ring to push himself to break through the limit, while a soul beast can transform into a human being if it is deeply cultivated? And where did the world's first soul master come from? These are extremely intriguing questions.
Shi Yi didn't think too much. He understood that all doubts stemmed from his own lack of strength. When he was strong enough, many things would naturally be understood.
At this time, Tang San had already begun to absorb the soul ring, slowly condensing his soul power into his palms. With a light blue halo, Blue Silver Grass grew out of his palms, exuding a faint breath of life. The fluctuations of soul power swayed gently.
"Come on, my first spirit ring, I hope you can bloom your own light in the new world together with the Tang Sect's unique skills." Tang San said secretly in his heart.
Pulled by the light blue light, the century-old gold-devouring leopard soul ring slowly flew towards Tang San.
Yu Xiaogang stared at the floating soul ring, gave a timely reminder, and shouted in a deep voice: "Sit cross-legged and guard the martial soul."
Tang San followed the instructions and sat down cross-legged on the spot, focusing on the martial spirit in his right hand. At this time, as the century-old gold-devouring leopard spirit ring approached, he felt an unprecedentedly powerful pressure, and the bones in his body even They all made a slight noise under this pressure.
Soon, the yellow halo came to the top of Tang San's head, without giving him any chance to react. The yellow halo suddenly shrank, turning into a bracelet-sized but extremely solid golden ring that directly fell on the palm of his right hand. On top of the blue silver grass martial spirit.
Tang San felt as if his right hand was invading magma, a wave of scorching energy rushed in crazily, and the violent heat flow instantly rushed into his body. In an instant, his insides were on fire. His body couldn't help but tremble violently. "No matter how the power of the soul ring impacts your body, remember to stay awake. Only in this way can you make better use of the power of the soul ring in the future."
This was the last word Tang San heard from the master. The next second, he closed his eyes, and his consciousness was completely immersed in the hot ocean.
While Tang San was absorbing the spirit ring, looking at the lifeless body of the Gold-devouring Leopard, Shi Yi summoned the little ant.
Shi Yi casually broke off a branch and wrote on the ground: "Can it be eaten?"
In the past two years, Xiao Yi has learned a lot of words under Shi Yi's training. Although there is still some gap between his expression ability and that of normal children, at least Shi Yi can understand the general intention of Xiao Yi's answers.
Seeing Shi Yi writing on the ground, the dean was quite surprised by this scene. He had been practicing martial arts for so many years, but he had never heard of anyone being able to communicate with his own martial soul.
When the dean saw the crooked character Neng written by Xiao Yi on the ground, the surprise in his eyes was even greater.
Shi Yi was also surprised when he saw Xiao Yi's answer, but he felt relieved after thinking about it. The weaker things are, the more tolerant they are, just like a drop of water can be integrated into anything. Moreover, in the modern knowledge system Among them, ants are omnivores and have many edible things, including meat.
Thinking of this, Shi Yi whispered to Xiao Yi: "Then go and eat the meat."
The little ant nodded humanely and even showed a hint of eagerness and desire, and soon he lay down on the body of the gold-devouring leopard and started to eat.
Yu Xiaogang also sighed when he saw this scene. Since Shi Yi's appearance, he has expanded a lot of new ideas. He has also tried this method, trying to let Luo Sanpao evolve on his own, but no matter what kind of Luo Sanpao he saw, The soul beasts all looked disgusted, as if every bite they took would stain their precious blood.
Even though he asked Flanders to take him to find the Millennium Yalong, Luo Sanpao didn't even look at it.
This process did not take long. Every piece of flesh and blood that the little ant ate was turned into energy until the body of the Golden Leopard completely disappeared in front of everyone.
"Dean, please protect your junior brother." Shi Yi bowed slightly towards the dean.
The dean nodded and sat cross-legged next to Tang San, while Yu Xiaogang and Shi Yi also set up a tent nearby.
It was getting late, and Shi Yi didn't enter the cultivation state for the first time in history. After all, the dean needed to protect Tang San who had absorbed the soul ring. A gold-devouring leopard had just died here. If something came, their master and disciple didn't have much. With fighting ability, Shi Yi simply took advantage of this time to carefully observe the changes that occurred after the little ants devoured the soul beast's corpse.
You didn't know it, but Shi Yi also looked surprised. Against the backdrop of the campfire, the carapace on the little ant's body had an almost imperceptible metallic luster. If Shi Yi hadn't been so close, he wouldn't have been able to notice this tiny... luster.
"Metallicity? This world seems to have no metallicity, or is it sharp?"
"Sure enough, plundering is still the fastest and most effective method, but I don't know if as the number of ants devoured increases, there will be rejection of other competing attributes."
Seeing the changes in Xiao Yi, a smile appeared on Shi Yi's immature face.
"It seems that I will have to stay in the Sunset Forest for a while until I am strong enough."
Now Shi Yi can only ride on the master's car. In the final analysis, it is because he does not have the ability to hunt soul beasts alone. Thinking of this, Shi Yi's eyes can't help but fall on Tang San. When Tang San creates the Zhuge God Crossbow, he can also consider the trip to Sunset Forest.
According to Shi Yi's calculation, six years later, when Tang is thirty-two years old, he will be able to go to Shrek with Yu Xiaogang and get a Zhuge Divine Crossbow. With the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, as long as Shi Yi is careful It's still possible to hang out in the Sunset Forest, and the Ice and Fire Eyes in the Sunset Forest still have what Shi Yi wants most, and they must be obtained first by Tang San.
With this in mind, Shi Yi took out a book from his storage belt and read it by the light of the fire.
After a night of silence, when Tang San slowly opened his eyes, the sky was already bright, and the vigorous vitality brought by the new day seemed to be calling his body.
Tang San lowered his head and looked at himself. He found that his body seemed to have undergone some changes because of receiving the spirit ring. His originally thin figure seemed to have grown a little taller, his shoulders were a little wider, and his skin had an extra layer. Brilliant luster.
The feeling of lightness full of power was so comfortable when he moved his hands and feet. He didn't need to deliberately experiment. He also knew that not only did his internal strength break through the bottleneck, but all aspects of his body's functions were also greatly improved under the influence of the century-old Golden Leopard's soul ring. increase in magnitude.
"Teacher." After waking up, the first thing Tang San thought of was Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang sat not far away and smiled slightly: "Wake up, it seems that your harvest is not small."
Shi Yi and the dean also laid their eyes on Tang San. Tang San nodded excitedly and said, "Look."
As he spoke, Tang San raised his right hand, and a faint white light appeared on the surface of his skin. Then, dark blue blue silver grass swarmed out from his palm, and the dark blue leaves faintly exuded a sharp meaning. A clear yellow halo rose from his feet and circled up and down around his body. This is the distinctive characteristic of a first-ring soul master.
The next moment, Tang San's left hand kept swinging back, and several leaves shot into the tree trunk not far away like lancets.
"What a precise technique." Yu Xiaogang said in surprise, he suddenly understood why Tang San wanted to develop his martial spirit in this way.
And this is just the entry-level technique among Tang Sect's hidden weapons, the hand-swinging arrow.
