Chapter 84 Cat, and Cat
After several days of trekking, we stopped and walked in the forest.
…
In the early morning, the team prepared to rest. Zhou Xuefeng also set up a tent and was calling Zhu Zhuyun over. The Blue Silver Domain suddenly sensed the activity of soul beasts around it.
Stop your movements and feel carefully.
The evolution of the ghost civet's martial soul involves one attribute and two bloodline. Considering both sides, Zhou Xuefeng has required the team to be active from dusk to midnight in the past few days. Nether-type soul beasts are mostly active during this time period. Although it is not impossible at other times, the chance of encountering it is greatest during this time period.
Entering the tent and letting Zhu Zhuyun in, Zhou Xuefeng spread his mental power and "saw" the appearance of the spirit beast.
"Shadow cat? Year, almost."
This soul beast was within Zhou Xuefeng's expectation. A cursory observation shows that it has not exceeded a thousand years, so it is very suitable. Judging from its movement trajectory, it would pass by the temporary camp where I and others were.
In other words, he came here.
Shadow cats like to follow human activities into the forest. When hunting souls, no matter whether humans or soul beasts are dead, they can take advantage. And he likes to look for things left by humans.
Giving Zhu Zhuyun a look, the two walked out of the tent and waited by the campfire.
Team leader, Zhang San came over to say hello. He has level 46, a beast martial spirit power ape, and there are four people in the team. The lowest level is a food system member who is level 26.
"It's getting late. Let's keep vigil. You two should go and rest quickly."
Very attentive attitude.
During the hiring process, Zhou Xuefeng was very forthcoming and paid the full remuneration directly. Generally speaking, you won't give so much before starting, and you will settle everything after the soul hunting is over. Zhou Xuefeng was too lazy to explain. In his previous life, he always liked to pay the bill first and didn't bother to bother later.
Besides, there was no shortage of money. He took away so many treasures from the Duke's Palace, as well as the activity funds provided by Ning Yulin. Some small soul master clans are not as rich as Zhou Xuefeng.
"Captain Zhang, don't worry about us, a soul beast is coming."
Feeling that the kitten was getting closer, Zhou Xuefeng reminded him. Captain Zhang San was stunned for a moment, then turned his head suspiciously, but found nothing. Looking at his three team members, there was no reaction.
It seems inappropriate to doubt your boss, but...
With a smile on his face and a stiff expression on his face, Zhang San turned around and wanted to ask, where is the soul beast? Zhou Xuefeng had already controlled the Blue Silver Grass and driven out the shadow cat. Zhang San reacted very quickly, turned around, released his martial spirit, and attacked, while simultaneously sending a signal to his three teammates.
Four people besieged them, but none of them captured the shadow cats that were less than a thousand years old.
The soul beast reacted faster. Although he didn't know why the blue silver grass around him suddenly drove him away, he felt the murderous intention of humans and hid forward. He got into the shadow beside the bonfire and activated his shadow ability, directly in the eyes of the four people. "disappear".
"Interesting, the name of Shadow..."
Zhou Xuefeng muttered.
However, this kind of battle is nothing to watch, so we still need to control the Bluesilver Grass. Directly destroying its state of being indistinguishable from the firelight and shadow. It hides in the shadows, and appears to have completely disappeared under the contrast of the firelight, but in fact it only uses its own energy to echo the dark elements, eliminate its own aura, and achieve the effect of disappearing from the field of vision.
Those who are more than a thousand years old will have the special ability of short-term shadow escape, and those who are more than 50,000 years old will evolve the special ability of truly blending into shadows, but these are rare.
After Zhou Xuefeng's help several times, the four of them finally took it down and sent it over. From the beginning to the end, they did not notice Zhou Xuefeng's intervention at all. They only regarded it as the shadow cat's own lack of ability, which was why it was frequently exposed.
He nodded casually and was too lazy to pay attention to them. He looked at Zhu Zhuyun and Zhou Xuefeng said calmly.
"This is the second soul ring that I imagine is suitable for you. You can also continue to choose the original route. I will give you ten minutes to think about it."
After saying that, he withdrew his gaze and stared at the dying soul beast. Zhou Xuefeng pondered, wondering if it would burst out its soul bones. In less than a minute, Zhu Zhuyun made a move.
She took a deep breath and walked directly towards the soul beast. Her thinking was very clear. Before there was no decisive resistance, it was best to do everything Zhou Xuefeng said.
It's good for her and both sisters.
There is nothing to say about taking action, understanding soul beasts, and absorbing soul rings.
While she was absorbing it, Zhou Xuefeng pulled the shadow cat's body. Looking at his movements, the four members of the soul hunting team were nervous and looking forward to it. The soul bone will explode in anticipation, and the soul bone will explode in tension, but it is impossible for both parties to be harmonious.
【Eh? 】【Why does this shadow cat have three eyes? 】
The soul bone was not detected, but Zhou Xuefeng discovered that this cat had a third eye on its forehead
[Does the shadow cat have this kind of mutation? Or is this not a shadow cat? A hybrid of a three-eyed fox? 】.
Seeing that nothing appeared, the four members of the team breathed a sigh of relief, which was good.
[Is it possible to explode soul bones only if there are more than two of us together and teaming up with others? 】
An idea came to my mind, and I shook my head and tried again later.
After half an hour, Zhu Zhuyun finished absorbing. Without waiting for Zhou Xuefeng to ask, he took the initiative to explain his second soul skill in a low voice. After using the soul skill, she will enter an ability similar to the shadow cat's shadow escape, which eliminates the breath and reduces the soul power consumption by 30% for ten minutes. During the duration, she will not be controlled or locked by single-target attack abilities.
With the goal achieved, everyone took a short rest and evacuated out of the forest at dawn.
After walking out of the camping tree, Zhou Xuefeng suddenly noticed something was wrong with Zhu Zhuyun. Her eyes seemed to be a little afraid of light, and she was always squinting unconsciously. There are too many people and it is difficult to check, so we can only wait until we leave the forest.
…
Rush to the soul hunting town.
I found a hotel room and waited for her to take a shower. Zhou Xuefeng called the person over, held up his face, and came closer to observe carefully. Zhu Zhuyun held his breath unconsciously, his heart beating like a drum.
【Could it be that today we are going to...】
After studying it for a long time, Zhou Xuefeng didn't see any clues, but he still felt that something was wrong. Get her on the bed and get ready for a deep examination of her body.
Clenching his fists, Zhu Zhuyun looked at the "shabby" bed with dim eyes.
[I didn’t expect it to be in a place like this. hehe. 】
Take a deep breath, make up your mind, lie down neatly, spread your hands and feet slightly, like a wooden man. Zhou Xuefeng raised his hand and landed on her chest, spreading blue and silver filaments, starting from the heart, and inspecting her carefully.
His palm fell, and he suddenly became distracted.
[It’s just a soul ring, how can it be improved so much? ! 】
It cannot be grasped in one hand.
Close your eyes and lower your eyes, gather your mind, and concentrate on the investigation. Seeing his actions, Zhu Zhuyun felt complicated beyond words and his mind was at a loss.
"This again?"
[Is this guy not... okay? 】
After several inspections, alien soul power was found in the upper Dantian, Yintang point, and near the eye sockets. Somewhat like...
"Soul bone? Damn it (question)?"
Head soul bone?
This part may be the head soul bone. But the shadow cat is only over 800 years old, and this year is too low. Zhou Xuefeng can still replace the limbs, but the head and torso are not easy to deal with.
"That's not right. If it's a soul bone, how could it enter her body directly... Wait, could it be an external soul bone?"
Retrieve the blue silver filament.
But before the conscious reaction, his hand rubbed it subconsciously.
Zhu Zhuyun: "Yeah~"
Zhou Xuefeng: "..."
