Chapter 316: Out of place
Standing in front of the forest, looking at the outermost 20-meter-high tall trees extending upward to the left and right, with no end in sight.
Ling Yi looked inside the forest. Unfortunately, there were heavy shadows from the trees. Except for a few abruptly ending paths on the outermost edge, he couldn't see anything inside.
"Would you like to rest for a while?"
Zhang Ji looked at Ling Yi and asked, after all, he was the only auxiliary soul master here, and his soul power was still the lowest.
"No need~" Ling Yi smiled and shook his head, indicating that his physical fitness was not bad.
Next to her, Shirley Yang blinked. To be honest, she had always been curious about Ling Yi's physical strength.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly blushed and didn’t know what I was thinking of.
As for the only female family member in the team, Zhang Ji and Woma consciously did not pay attention to it and did not know about this episode. Instead, they focused on communicating with Ling Yi.
"In that case, let's go in directly~" Zhang Ji said.
After the sound fell, Bendang took the lead and walked towards the forest.
On the forest path, the temperature dropped a few degrees, and it was cool and pleasant. The air with high oxygen content washed everyone's bodies and minds, and every step was filled with the fragrance of vegetation and earth.
Zhang Ji walked at the front. As he walked, he warned in a solemn tone: "Remember, this is the "Star Dou Forest", not those small forests where soul beasts are kept in captivity. Almost every soul beast in it is here. The soul beasts are full of strong aggression. Although they are still in the outer area, they cannot be careless!"
"Especially you, Ling Yi, you are a healing soul master, if one pops up randomly! You may not be able to dodge a sneak attack from a thousand-year soul beast, or even a century-old soul beast, so you must be more vigilant!"
"Next time in the forest, it is best not to go more than thirty meters away from me! .”
"In addition, for those soul beasts that are not hunting targets and have not taken the initiative to attack us, do not attack them. Do you understand?"
This last sentence is obviously for my eldest nephew Woma and his constant insistence. The silent Yang Shirley said it.
Although based on their family origins, generally speaking, they must have been instilled with the corresponding concept of sustainable development of soul beasts before, but such instructions are actually given as the leader every time they enter the soul beast forest. Everyone will say it again, it’s like a brainwashing slogan.
Using the comment made by a book friend in the Douluo fan novels read by Ling Yi in his previous life, the existence of soul masters is to continuously squeeze the soul beast race, not only to prevent them from growing, but also to prevent them from becoming extinct. .
The conspiracy theory is that just like raising worms, human soul masters and soul beast races are entangled with each other, fighting each other, and eroding each other's heritage and potential.
As for whether this point of view exists in this real world, Ling Yi is not sure, and he is not ready to delve into it at the moment.
He just followed Zhang Ji's footsteps while reviewing the [Martial Spirit Hall]'s records about this forest.
"Star Forest" is one of the three most famous soul beast settlements in Douluo Continent. The area is so large that it is almost the same as the land area of the "Kingdom of Barak". This is a huge virgin forest as a whole. The terrain in the forest is complex, including wetlands, swamps, mountains, etc. The soul beasts inside are also extremely terrifying. The closer you get to the center of the forest, the more powerful the soul beasts are. It is said that there are even 100,000-year-old soul beasts inside.
Geographically, the "Star Dou Forest" is located directly south of the "Tian Dou Empire", straddling the borders of the "Tian Dou Empire" and the "Xing Luo Empire". Since there are many soul beasts here, this is also the border between the two countries. The place where national borders are least clear. Judging from the map, two-fifths of the area is in the "Tian Dou Empire", and the other three-fifths are in the "Star Luo Empire".
However, "Tian Dou Empire" has never admitted this.
No one can tell how many years this primitive and ancient forest has existed in Douluo Continent, but after walking into the forest, the denseness that blocks the sky and the sun is enough to tell people how long it has existed.
More than half an hour later, there was a forest clearing outside the "Star Forest".
As Woma smashed three "White-tailed Weasels" with one stick, the malicious sights around them gradually faded away, and Ling Yi and others continued to move forward.
Different from outside the forest before, Ling Yi and Yang Xueli had already changed into a different set of clothes. The packages originally carried on their backs for cover were also worn together with the special clothes with more than ten pockets. , and was put back into the storage soul guide. His eyes swept over Ling Yi and Yang Xueli, looking at the two men's fully armed metal armors, and there was a silence on Woma's face.
It's very strange. I always feel that the painting style of these two people is incompatible with Douluo Continent. Why?
Not only Woma, but also Zhang Ji, who was standing with his hands behind his back, had the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth at this time.
Zhang Ji has seen many soul masters wearing armor. Even Zhang Ji’s storage soul guide currently contains a set of heavy armor that he wore in the past. Crafted by the master craftsman Tie Futu himself, it is enough to withstand multiple attacks from the fifth soul skill of the powerful attack soul king.
But for Ling Yi and Yang Shirley, it was the first time that their uncles and nephews had seen battle armor, including helmets, neck armor, shoulder pads, arm armor, skirt armor, combat boots, etc. .
Especially after seeing Ling Yi put on the armor and take out a spear and hold it in his hand, the weird feeling became even stronger.
No, aren't you a healing soul master?
Looking at you like this, are you still ready to fight?
There are countless things they want to say, but Zhang Ji and Woma don’t know how to say it. After all, in this dangerous "Star Forest", no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious. It seems that it is not incomprehensible for Ling Yi and the two of them to wear more protective armor... right?
In addition, both Ling Yi and Yang Shirley are soul masters with martial souls. They do not need to be like beast martial soul soul masters, who will have body changes after being possessed by martial souls. Wearing this kind of almost full coverage The type of armor will not affect the combat performance too much, as long as you pay attention to the weight of the armor.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ji nodded silently.
"Bang——!"
At this moment, Ling Yi saw the spear in his hand held upside down, using the tail of the spear as a stick, and hit an emerald green snake that jumped from the treetop above his head.
The fleeting shadow of the trembling stick and the emerald green snake that was deflected by Beng Jin once again made Zhang Ji and Woma fall into silence.
Looking at Ling Yi reaching out to pick up the fainted emerald green snake, throwing it into a special sealed bamboo basket, and then putting it into a blue leather bag-style storage soul guide. , Zhang Jifang just woke up from a dream and asked:
"Ling Yi, you... know how to stick?"
Although it was just a glimpse, as a Contra with a stick martial spirit, Zhang Ji asked himself that he was quite accomplished in stick techniques.
You may not be able to defeat the two brothers Qianjun and Jiangmo, but that is because the opponent's soul power is five levels higher than your own, and the soul ring and soul skills are slightly stronger, rather than a pure stick. Beyond oneself legally.
That’s what Zhang Ji thinks anyway.
“I understand a little~ I understand a little~~”
Ling Yi, who put away the "Nine-section Jade", stood up and smiled modestly at Zhang Ji.
Before Zhang Ji could ask any more questions, Ling Yi spoke again and said: "Senior, I have the ability to explore the surroundings. How about I take a look at the situation ahead and then we set off?"
"You can also sense soul skills?!"
Zhang Jihu stared at Ling Yi with his eyes wide open, and his heart became confused again.
"Luckily~" Ling Yi's face remained humble: "There have been some opportunities, and the little skills that the martial soul has after evolving have made the seniors laugh."
After saying that, he handed the spear to his left hand and spread his right hand, palm facing up. In the shining blue soul power, a blue-green grass emerged, as if carved from the purest crystal, full of vitality.
Seeing the martial spirit that looked like a small grass, Zhang Jizheng was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed and a stern look flashed in his eyes.
Continue tomorrow, good night everyone~
