Chapter 52 Crystal Shadow Beast and Red Golden Bear
"Okay, hahaha~~"
"..."
After a heart-to-heart talk, the relationship between master and apprentice became closer, and the final barrier between the two was broken.
"..."
Ran Yuming made arrangements and said, "Okay, it's getting late in Luoheng. You have to hunt for soul rings tomorrow. Go back to your tent and rest early to recharge your batteries. Today, I'll just keep vigil for you as my teacher."
"Hmm."
Su Luoheng nodded and returned to the tent to rest.
Before absorbing the soul ring, you must be in the best and most suitable condition.
……
……
Early the next morning, Jingyang Mountains.
A layer of mist shrouded the forest, making it appear hazy and blurry.
The tall trees have lush branches and leaves, blocking out the sun and covering the entire mountain range in layers.
Two figures were walking quickly through the dense jungle. They were Master and Disciple Su Luoheng and Ran Yuming. Occasionally they encountered several soul beasts and were easily dealt with.
They are not searching aimlessly.
Before coming here, Ran Yuming made special statistics. The Jingyang Mountains have vast landforms, and there are many types of soul beasts suitable for Su Luoheng.
For example: silver wolf, crystal shadow beast, one-horned crystal snake, mirror jade rhinoceros, red golden bear, thunder cloud leopard, phantom tiger, etc. These soul beasts have more or less spiritual abilities, which are similar to Su Luoheng's martial soul.
The characteristics are relatively consistent and can be used as his second soul ring option.
Among them, the soul beasts that Ran Yuming prefers the most are the crystal shadow beast and the red golden bear.
Crystal Shadow Beast is a spiritual soul beast with a slender and agile body, quick and flexible movements. It is good at using illusions and other spiritual attacks. However, its combat ability is very poor and its number is rare. However, it is very fast, coupled with illusions.
Attack, even if ordinary people are lucky enough to find it, they will not be able to catch it.
Its spiritual ability is very consistent with Su Luoheng.
Red gold bears are a kind of soul beast unique to the Jingyang Mountains. They feed on a kind of red gold. They are large in size, have strong defense, and have rough skin and thick flesh. In addition to their powerful attack power, they also have some spiritual attributes.
Use war cries to disrupt the enemy's mind during battle.
Based on its characteristics, there is a high probability that it will provide Su Luoheng with a strong combat soul skill, which is also important for Su Luoheng who needs the balanced development of soul master and soul mentor abilities.
Therefore, Ran Yuming positioned these two soul beasts as the best choices for the second soul ring.
He plans to explore all the areas in the Jingyang Mountains where these two soul beasts are found, and he will not give up until he finds these two soul beasts to make soul rings for Su Luoheng.
"..."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ran Yuming took Su Luoheng to visit almost one-third of the Jingyang Mountains.
During this period, they have encountered many suitable soul beasts, such as Thunder Cloud Leopard, Unicorn Crystal Snake, Mirror Image Jade Rhinoceros, etc., all of which are within the optimal age range of the second soul ring.
The middle crystal shadow beast and the red golden bear are not unencountered, but either the age is too high or the age is too low.
Based on the principle of not compromising, Su Luoheng did not choose these.
However, Ran Yuming also recorded the locations of these soul beasts just in case. If he couldn't find the suitable crystal shadow beast and red gold bear, he would have to choose from them.
……
……
I don’t know if it’s bad luck or other reasons.
The two masters and apprentices stayed in the Jingyang Mountains for less than half a month. In addition to seeing these two spirit beasts in the first two days, let alone whether they were of the same age, they were stunned to see a crystal shadow beast and a red golden bear.
Neither of them could be found! Both of them couldn't help but begin to wonder if these two soul beasts were hiding from them on purpose?
After not gaining anything for a long time, Su Luoheng began to have the idea of giving up.
Ran Yuming also began to hesitate whether to continue?
Although they have enough time to search for the soul beast, it is not an option to waste it pointlessly here...
The two masters and apprentices discussed it.
I finally decided to look for it for three more days. If I still couldn’t find it, I had to give up.
……
……
Suddenly, Ran Yuming's footsteps stopped.
He stared at the front not far away, with a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"That's it!"
Ran Yuming suddenly shaved off his beard and murmured in a low voice, "I'm so stupid, I forgot such an important thing..."
"Huh?"
Su Luoheng looked curiously in the direction of his sight, only to see an ancient tree that was nearly a hundred meters high. The ancient tree reached into the sky, its branches were twisted and twisted, and it looked like it was nearly a thousand years old.
It is rare to see such a complete ancient tree in the mountains.
But even if we don’t see it often, the teacher won’t be amazed by an ancient tree, right?
Su Luoheng couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what are you talking about?"
"Luo Heng, your second soul ring is here!" Ran Yuming pointed at the ancient tree in front of him with a slightly excited tone.
"Ah?"
Su Luoheng was stunned at first, and then his mind quickly became active: From what the teacher meant, could it be that the ancient tree in front of him was related to his second soul ring?
He began to observe the ancient trees carefully, but did not see anything strange in them.
Su Luoheng looked confused and couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Look up, at the top of the tree crown." Ran Yuming took a long breath to calm down, and at the same time raised his hand to point out the direction for Su Luoheng.
"Above..."
Su Luoheng whispered.
At the same time, follow the direction of your finger and look up at the top.
Narrow your eyes slightly and observe carefully.
I saw the top of the ancient tree with lush branches and thick roots.
However, at a distance of about ten feet between the branches of the ancient tree, a huge dark brown cylindrical honeycomb was built between the branches.
There are many big red bees flying around.
Previously, because this ancient tree had a huge crown and criss-crossed branches, covering most of the hive, it would have been difficult for him to find the location of the hive on his own without the guidance of his teacher.
"That's...a beehive?"
Su Luoheng's mouth opened slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Hmm."
Ran Yuming nodded and said, "That is the nest of the Blood Flame Bee. This kind of bee is extremely special. Their toxicity is two to three times that of normal bees. The toxicity of a hundred years of Blood Flame Bee is equal to that of ordinary bees."
It has been a poisonous bee for three hundred years, and once it is stung, it will be as painful as burning the body with flames."
After a pause, Ran Yuming's expression became serious, "Luo Heng, don't underestimate these Blood Flame Bees. Although they only have one chance to attack in their lifetime, with the poisonousness they have accumulated over four to five hundred years, even if they are
Even if the Soul Sect is not careful, they will be attacked!"
"How toxic is this thing?"
Su Luoheng was suddenly shocked, and his eyes flashed with shock.
He still underestimates these bees.
You must know that a normal soul master at the soul sect level is equivalent to a soul beast that has been around for more than three thousand years, and even such a soul master may be poisoned by these blood flame bees!
Ran Yuming turned back to look at the hive, his eyes flashing.
"However, the more toxic bees tend to be, the honey they brew is rare and exquisite."
