At night, Ye Ming returned to his room to rest, still thinking about the village chief's request before leaving.
"Xiao Ming, a thousand-year soul beast recently migrated to the village and took up residence. The hunting team suffered heavy casualties. If you have the ability, I beg you..."
Ye Ming sighed and shook his head slightly. He thought of the two hunting team members he saw at the medical center during the day, and at the same time he understood why his mother hid this.
The strength of the thousand-year soul beast is generally comparable to that of ordinary soul sects. Although my mother knew that she had already broken through the soul sect, she had no idea of her own strength. She wanted to hide it and did not want to put herself in danger.
But this is his hometown after all. Once the Millennium Soul Beast goes crazy and comes to this village, no one will be able to stop it. Therefore, whether for the sake of his mother or fellow villagers, he must eradicate this hidden danger in advance.
…
One night passes quickly
In the early morning, when the sky was dark, Ye Ming had quietly arrived at the entrance of the village. He saw several people waiting at the entrance of the village, all carrying spears, bows and arrows. The leader was his acquaintance Mo Li.
Seeing Ye Ming's arrival, Mo Li stepped forward first and said: "Xiao Ming, are you sure about the thousand-year soul beast? If not, I will discuss it with the village chief."
"It's okay, Uncle Moli, just lead the way." Ye Ming said with a smile. Moli was one of the few friends before his father disappeared. Since his father disappeared, he was the strongest in the village, so he was appointed as the hunter.
Team captain.
"Okay." Although he was a little worried, Mo Li finally chose to believe Ye Ming. After all, Ye Ming had not been a big talker since he was a child.
"That soul beast is a red-bearded steel pig. We discovered it for the first time half a month ago. Fortunately, I have some rough knowledge about soul beasts, so I can tell that it is more than a thousand years old..."
While walking, Mo Li introduced: "Originally we thought it was just passing by, but we didn't expect that it never meant to leave. By the way, it was entrenched in the territory of the Yan Wolf. Ever since Ye Xiong killed the Yan Wolf,
Wolf Queen, we haven’t seen a thousand-year soul beast here for a long time.”
Ye Ming and Mo Li walked side by side at the front, listening to his story quietly.
He is not unfamiliar with the red-bearded steel pig. Even if this kind of spirit beast is placed in the Star Dou Forest, it is considered a relatively powerful group. At the same level of cultivation, it can even crush the Flame Wolf King. But how could such a spirit beast appear?
here?
You must know that this is just a small branch of the Luoye Mountains. Even century-old spirit beasts are extremely rare. Even if the thousand-year-old red-bearded steel pig is placed in the main vein, it is still dominant.
Ye Ming couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. When he saw it, the truth would come to light. There were only a thousand-year soul beast on the left and right, and he couldn't threaten himself.
The group of people was very fast, and several of them were veterans of hunting all year round. When they encountered ordinary beasts, Ye Ming would be frightened and flee in all directions with just a slight release of his breath. Of course, this scene also attracted a few people to marvel, and at the same time, they felt sad in their hearts.
It increased a lot of confidence in Ye Ming.
"Here we are."
Soon, everyone came to a slope and Mo Li spoke out.
Ye Ming looked around and saw a depression behind the slope. The vegetation in the depression was extremely lush, but he could vaguely see that it had once been a large pit.
In the center of the pit, a giant beast with long fangs was lying there sleeping soundly. The beast's skin was gray-white, with only a ring of red hair growing behind its ears, like steel needles. This was the red-bearded steel pig.
Ye Ming made a visual calculation and found that the size of this soul beast exceeded four meters, and its cultivation level was at least 1,500 years old.
"That's it. My bow and arrows can't break through its defense." Moli whispered from the side.
Hearing this, Ye Ming was not surprised. He knew that Mo Li had broken through two rings, but his soul power was only in his early twenties, and he only had a hundred-year soul ring. If this configuration could also cause damage to the red-bearded steel pig, which is known for its defense.
Damage would be too much to live up to its reputation.
"Uncle Molly, you wait for me here first, I will go there."
After Ye Ming finished speaking, his figure disappeared in front of everyone before they could react, and the next scene completely subverted their understanding.
I saw that Ye Minming did not summon the martial spirit, and the distance of a hundred meters disappeared in a flash. The red-bearded steel pig suddenly woke up when he approached, but everything was too late to react, and he could not even scream.
The dark golden color passed by, and the huge head flew into the air.
The giant beast collapsed suddenly, and bright red blood gushed out like a fountain. Ye Ming shook off the non-existent blood stain on his right hand, and then looked back.
At this time, the three people behind them stared with wide eyes, and the shock on their faces had not disappeared, but they saw that Ye Ming was already waving towards this side. The three people walked carefully to the front, looking at the incisions on the neck of the giant beast that were like a knife surface.
I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.
"Xiao Ming, this...did you do this?"
Even though things had happened before his eyes, Mo Li still couldn't believe it. The ferocious beast that had been chasing their hunting team all over the mountains a few days ago had died like this?
Hearing this, Ye Ming smiled and said: "The Thousand-Year Soul Beast still poses no threat to me. By the way, you can take this corpse back with you. I won't need it. It just replenishes the health of the children in the village."
"Really?!" Hearing that Ye Ming didn't want prey, the young villagers on the side screamed, but they were immediately greeted by Mo Li's sharp gaze, and they could only lower their heads in shame.
Mo Li said: "We will take this body back first, but whoever catches the prey gets the big head. This is the rule of the hunting team."
Hearing Mo Li's words, Ye Ming smiled slightly and stopped entangled. Now he still has to find the reason why this thousand-year soul beast is entrenched here.
Several people behind him were handling the bodies, while Ye Ming was looking around. After a while, he found the harvest behind a bush. He saw a strange small tree floating in the wind, and at the top of it, a fiery red fruit had been
Approaching maturity.
It is indeed Yang Yan Fruit!
Ye Ming understood clearly in his eyes that he had seen this fruit before. It was for this fruit that his father had killed the Yanlang who was entrenched here. However, he did not expect that just seven years later, this Yangyan Fruit would appear again.
Mature.
"It stands to reason that the Yang Yan Fruit ripens once every ten years and must grow in a place with strong soul power. But what's going on with this one?"
Ye Ming's heart moved, and he immediately summoned the Dark Gold Terror Claw to dig into the ground. As he dug deeper and deeper, he felt a hard object after a while.
The surrounding soil shook away under the influence of soul power, and the thing in front of him finally revealed its true appearance. The moment he saw it, Ye Ming could no longer bear the surprise on his face.
"Red flame gold..."
Looking at the piece of metal densely wrapped in vines, Ye Ming recognized its true identity immediately.
Red flame gold, as its name implies, is named because its appearance looks like a burning flame. Moreover, the output of red flame gold is very small, and it belongs to the category of precious metals. Because of its extremely excellent conductivity and stability, it is an indispensable material for making advanced soul guidance cores.
Two choices.
Looking at the fragment in front of me, it looks like a fragment of some kind of soul guidance device. Although it is only the size of a palm, it is enough to make a soul guidance core for Lieyan Baoxiao.
Ye Ming put it away with satisfaction. Of course, it was also put away together with the Yangyan Tree, which is a natural treasure. And he took away the Red Flame Gold. There is a high probability that this tree will not survive in the future. It is better to put it away.
By transplanting it elsewhere, you can avoid recruiting thousand-year-old soul beasts.
Just like that, after a short rest, everyone embarked on the return journey with satisfaction...
