Chapter 222 Scarlet flame thorns, giant palm black tiger and the end of the extreme test
The defense of the One-Horned Demon Rhinoceros is indeed strong, but it is not without its weaknesses. Their eyes are their most vulnerable point.
Although the long-range soul skills of the soul master and some of the long-range soul guidance devices used by the soul mentor can lock the target, they can only lock the entire target, but cannot lock a certain small area.
Moreover, the perception of soul beasts is extremely keen. Once they are found to be locked by soul skills or soul guidance devices, they will immediately dodge.
Only like Xu Zihuang, who relies on the dynamic vision of the Golden Boy Martial Spirit to capture the movement trajectory of the five one-horned demon rhinoceros, and then uses his purest physical strength to throw the crystal spear, will no energy leak out.
.
The five one-horned demon rhinoceros never expected that they would be accurately stabbed in the eye by this seemingly inconspicuous crystal spear, let alone that it would penetrate directly from the eye to the brain, causing them to die.
Qian Duoduo, who was hiding behind Xu Zihuang and He Caitou, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this scene.
He knew that Yu Tianhuang was very strong, but the last time he saw Yu Tianhuang take action was during the freshman assessment more than a year ago. I don't know how Yu Tianhuang's performance now compares to a year ago.
How much stronger.
Those were five one-horned demon rhinoceros with a cultivation level of more than three thousand years, and the leading one had a cultivation level of more than five thousand years.
Inner courtyard disciples with Soul King cultivation in Shrek Academy may be able to suppress the five-headed one-horned demon rhinoceros head-on, but they will never be able to kill them with one blow as easily as Yu Tianhuang did.
"Lin'er, I'm wondering if just surviving in this mixed zone for half a month is too easy for them. I don't think we can squeeze them to their limit here."
"Follow me first." Xian Lin'er seemed much calmer, but the look in her eyes at Xu Zihuang was also strange.
The ability of Yu Tianhuang's Golden Child Martial Spirit was simply designed to install the soul guide. She was extremely determined at this moment, and Yu Tianhuang was the most suitable candidate for the extreme individual soldier plan.
On the other side, Xu Zihuang and He Caitou, who had just killed the five one-horned demon rhinos, did not stop here. Instead, they wandered horizontally in the mixed area. This area is mostly the territory of the five one-horned demon rhinoceros. Normally
Under such circumstances, few other spirit beasts would step in rashly.
But sensing the smell of blood and not being afraid of the aura of the One-Horned Demon Rhino, any soul beast that dares to step into this place will definitely be more powerful than the One-Horned Demon Rhino.
As for the soul beasts living in the mixed zone, most of them have cultivation levels below five thousand years, and their average level is not as good as those of the five one-horned demon rhinoceros.
After weighing the pros and cons, it was not difficult for Xu Zihuang and He Caitou to make the choice to leave here first.
Before leaving, Xu Zihuang also deliberately used his mental energy to check the corpses of the five one-horned demon rhinoceros. The more powerful the soul beast is, the easier it is to drop soul bones after killing it. However, only ten of them can be killed.
A ten thousand year soul beast will definitely drop a soul bone. If you kill a ten thousand year soul beast, there is about a 1 in 10 chance of dropping a soul bone.
Of course, this is just a rough probability. It does not mean that killing ten thousand-year-old soul beasts will definitely drop a soul bone. Most of the time, it depends on luck.
As for the thousand-year soul beast, the probability of dropping soul bones is even lower. But it is not completely impossible to drop soul bones.
Although Xu Zihuang looked down upon thousand-year-level soul bones, if soul bones really exploded from these five one-horned demon rhinoceros, he wouldn't mind accepting them.
It should be said that most soul masters do this after killing soul beasts. It's just that they don't have Xu Zihuang's vision, so it's difficult to maintain a normal mind. Those who go into the soul beast forest to hunt soul beasts just for the sake of
It is not uncommon for teams to make huge fortunes by exploding soul bones.
Entering the mixed area of the Star Forest, Xu Zihuang and He Caitou had to slow down their progress. Because many of the spirit beasts encountered here were extremely aggressive, battles began to become more frequent.
Fortunately, they were operating on the edge of this mixed zone, and the battle only took place with the thousand-year-old soul beasts. Their previous judgment was correct. The soul beasts they encountered and fought with later were not as powerful as the first five.
The One-Horned Demon Rhinoceros is powerful.
But even so, traveling through the mixed zone with full vigilance cannot be called easy. Mental fatigue is often more tiring than physical fatigue.
As time went by, the sky gradually approached noon. Xu Zihuang and He Caitou stepped into an area on the edge of the mixed zone and stopped. The trees in this area seemed to be particularly special compared to other areas they had passed before.
It's lush and thick. It's obviously only at the border between the mixed zone and the outer zone, but the environment here is somewhat similar to the core area of the Star Forest that Xu Zihuang once visited.
Xu Zihuang took out a skin bag filled with spring water from the soul guide, and when he was about to hand it to He Caitou, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a crimson light out of the corner of his eye.
He paused suddenly and instantly spread his mental power to the surroundings.
The external release of mental power consumes too much of the soul master's mind, so during the day, he usually uses the powerful vision brought by the Golden Child's martial spirit to observe the surrounding situation. He immediately sensed this external release of mental power.
Condition.
Xu Zihuang's paused movements also made He Caitou nervous. However, he did not release a variety of powerful but cumbersome soul guides immediately, but the six-link weapon he used yesterday appeared on his arms.
Equipped with a small soul guide cannon.
In the Star Dou Forest, where he may be attacked by various soul beasts at any time, the limitations of soul mentors are reflected. Those soul guides of He Caitou are indeed powerful, but once they are released, his whole person will
It will become very cumbersome. If you encounter that kind of spirit beast that is good at speed and lethality, with the help of the complex terrain of the Star Dou Forest, it will be difficult to react once it gets close.
So he was prepared to adapt accordingly and decide which type of soul guide to use based on the type of soul beast he encountered.
With Xu Zihuang, a soul master who is the golden boy of martial souls with spiritual attributes, he can detect it in advance, giving him enough time to deal with it. The abilities of the two can complement each other in many aspects, which is also the case in the soul guidance system.
One of the reasons why I decided to bring them together.
At the next moment, a hot breath was heard with a rapid "chichi" friction sound, and a large area of two-meter-high red thorns suddenly rose from the ground, sweeping in from all directions, blocking the sight of the two.
Each of these thorns is as thick as a wrist, and is completely fiery red, densely covered with strange purple-red lines. There are also spikes about three inches in length on them, and the spikes are also dark purple.
The Red Flame Thorn is a rare fire-attributed plant soul beast. It not only has strong fire-attribute resistance, but also possesses a violent fire poison. If you are stung by the dark purple spikes, the fire poison will
Inject directly into the enemy's body.
And judging from the fluctuations of soul power emitted by the red flame thorns, I'm afraid it's not that far away without ten thousand years of cultivation.
No wonder the surrounding trees are extremely lush. Most of the spirit beasts that broke in here were entangled in the red flame thorns and turned them into their own nourishment.
In the flash of lightning in Xu Zihuang's mind, the red flame thorns rising from the ground quickly rotated around them and condensed into a huge thorn cage. After the cage condensed, it was still shrinking rapidly. It seemed that it was preparing to kill them
Trapped to death here.
Out of trust in Xu Zihuang, although He Caitou's expression changed for a while, he did not look panicked.
His trust proved to be correct.
Dark red ripples rippled, and the thorn cage that trapped them and every red flame thorn around them were wrapped in dark red crystals, which was extremely dazzling. It was like ice flowers condensed due to the low temperature in the north of the mainland. Xu Zihuang was next to him
His purple second soul ring exuded a luxurious purple halo, and he shouted in a deep voice to He Caitou at the same time.
"Senior brother and me, six hundred meters from the five o'clock direction. Use the super focused soul cannon."
"good."
He Caitou responded solemnly, then took a big step forward and made a half-crouching movement. A two-meter-long, dark giant gun barrel appeared on his right shoulder.
.It looks very similar to a large fixed soul cannon.
The super-charged soul guide cannon is also known as the soul master's most powerful offensive weapon.
This super-charged soul guidance cannon is the only long-range soul guidance device among all He Caitou's soul guidance devices that can still have terrifying power at a distance of five hundred meters.
Xu Zihuang obviously understands this very well.
A strong white light shone at the muzzle, and after a few seconds of charging, the front section of the super focused cannon was completely rendered with blazing white light.
The cooperation between the two has already been quite tacit.
Of course, the dark red crystal that wrapped the red flame thorns shattered and turned into debris all over the sky. At the moment, a white light ball erupted from the barrel of the super focused cannon.
The white ball of light passed by, making the surrounding space seem to be strangely distorted.
At the target of this white light ball, which is six hundred meters away from the five o'clock direction, a thick red thorn that is as thick as an adult's body is wrapped around a huge ancient tree and is flashing crimson crazily.
Colorful light. There is no doubt that this is the body of the Red Flame Thorn that has been cultivated for nearly ten thousand years.
Dense red thorns rose from the ground again, forming wall after wall of thorns, blocking each other. The intelligence of plant-type soul beasts is not as good as that of animal-type soul beasts, but they can also instinctively feel the crisis.
It's a pity that these thorny walls are destined to be vulnerable to super focused soul cannons.
Amidst the violent roar, the dense red thorns were annihilated in the intense white light. The terrifying air waves made the surrounding thick trees shake, and countless soul beasts seemed to be frightened, whining or roaring.
.The earth seemed to be shaking.
Xu Zihuang watched calmly as the white ball of light erupted around the body of the Red Flame Thorn.
It lasted for five seconds before the light gradually converged. In front of Xu Zihuang and He Caitou, a crack with a length of more than 600 meters appeared. The width and depth of the crack also reached four meters.
And at the forefront of the explosion, a fan-shaped destruction surface was formed.
The towering ancient tree entangled with red flame thorns was broken at the waist and fell sideways to the ground. A purple-black soul ring slowly rhythmized here.
He Caitou's chest rose and fell as he calmed down his breathing. This blow consumed most of the soul power in his body. But the effect was also very obvious. And this is also the best way to face plant-based soul beasts such as Red Flame Thorns.
coping methods.
Because if the fight continues, they will only fall into a passive situation.
In fact, if Xu Zihuang uses the destruction attribute, he can easily suppress this Crimson Flame Thorn, which has a cultivation level of nearly ten thousand years. Unfortunately, Zihuang's ability to destroy the Sky Dragon cannot be exposed. He knows very well that there must be someone in the academy secretly following them.
And using the Thunder Hell Vine right leg bone, a field-based soul skill, is so powerful that it causes strange phenomena in the world. If it attracts that kind of particularly powerful soul beast, the gain will outweigh the loss.
That's why he decided to let He Caitou use this super focused soul cannon.
Xu Zihuang asked He Caitou, who had put away the super-charged soul guide cannon: "Brother He, how is the soul power consumption?"
"About 80% of the soul power has been consumed." He Caitou replied with a smile.
Xu Zihuang muttered: "In that case, you should restore your soul power here first. There should be no soul beasts approaching here for the time being."
This is just the edge of the mixed zone, with the Millennium Soul Beast as the main body. Feeling the terrifying aura of the super focused soul cannon, it was too late to avoid it, so it was naturally impossible to get close.
After encountering the Red Flame Thorn, which had been cultivated for nearly ten thousand years, Xu Zihuang and He Caitou finally had some time to relax.
Just like what Xu Zihuang said, until nightfall, no soul beast dared to approach this place.
Xu Zihuang and He Caitou sat back-to-back on a thick tree root that emerged from the soil. Due to the bombardment of He Caitou's super-focused soul cannon, an area with wide visibility was formed here.
Xu Zihuang was alert to the situation here, his eyes showing some sincerity and apology from the bottom of his heart.
"Brother He, if it weren't for me, you should be the candidate for this extreme individual soldier plan."
He Caitou couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Xu Zihuang's words.
This was obviously something the two of them had decided upon when they first met.
But after thinking for a moment, he quickly understood the meaning of Xu Zihuang's words. He smiled calmly.
"Jade Brother Yu, this is my own choice. The teacher has told me before, and I can understand the teacher's decision. Your talent is much better than mine. If it were you, I would be willing to be your support. And we
It’s originally a whole.”
On the surface, the two of them look like a senior and a junior who treat each other candidly.
On another level, their conversation had other meanings.
What Xu Zihuang wanted to express secretly with the previous sentence was that when they were in the palace of the Sun and Moon Empire, He Caitou gave way to him in everything, and the same is true now.
He Caitou's response was that this was his own wish, and he was willing to assist Xu Zihuang.
This is a secret between the two cousins. It is completely true.
This made Xian Liner and Qian Duoduo, who were hiding in the dark, look moved.
"Fan Yu has gained a good apprentice." Qian Duoduo sighed with emotion.
"Caitou, this guy is really good. Lin'er, even if the academy doesn't allocate resources, our Soul Guidance Department will still try our best to help him improve his cultivation to the realm of Titled Douluo."
Xian Lin'er nodded, and then took a deep look at Xu Zihuang. Except for the only time when she looked at the wrong person when she was young, her vision is still as good as ever. Although Yu Tianhuang is arrogant, his sincerity towards He Caitou
But it doesn't seem like a fake.
In her mind, she couldn't help but recall what Mr. Mu said before: The child's nature is not bad.
"It's just that your luck is a bit unlucky tonight."
Xian Lin'er's eyes suddenly condensed when she came back to her senses.
Xu Zihuang, who was still immersed in He Caitou's words, stood up suddenly as if he had suddenly woken up.
He Caitou, who was beside him, followed closely behind and followed Xu Zihuang's gaze with vigilance.
A soul beast blending into the night was slowly approaching them. It was already less than three hundred meters away from them.
It was a black tiger, its entire body as black as ink, with only a white king character on its forehead. It was more than four meters long, and its bones were very thick, especially the four tiger paws, which were particularly generous.
When the black tiger moved its four tiger paws towards the two of them, it strangely didn't make a sound. Its eyes, which were also jet black, showed a cruel and bloodthirsty color.
The black tiger with giant palms is a powerful soul beast that is good at hand-to-hand combat.
The status of tiger soul beasts in the soul beast forest has always been high. However, there are very few tiger soul beasts that have a cultivation level of more than 100,000 years. Because tiger soul beasts are too domineering, once they break through to a hundred thousand years of cultivation, they will
It may threaten the ruler's position.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is a typical example. A Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with fifty thousand years of cultivation is already equivalent to a super Douluo level expert among human soul masters. Once it breaks through to a hundred thousand years, perhaps in this Star Dou Forest,
Only the Beast God Emperor Tian, who has cultivated for 800,000 years, and the Silver Dragon King who has accumulated strength can suppress it.
This black tiger with giant palms is worthy of being ranked among the tiger soul beasts. Moreover, the cultivation level of the black tiger with giant palms in front of him definitely exceeds ten thousand years.
No wonder Xian Lin'er would say that they were out of luck. Faced with such a giant black tiger with a cultivation level of more than ten thousand years, many soul masters at the soul emperor level would not be able to please him. This is definitely the case between Xu Zihuang and He Caitou Er
This is the strongest soul beast that people will encounter when entering the Star Dou Forest.
However, Xu Zihuang's expression was calm. Although this black tiger with giant palms was powerful, it could not compare to the ten-thousand-year-old Man-Faced Demon Spider he faced back then.
The battle is about to break out.
Battles like this were carried out continuously in the next half month. They encountered various soul beasts, fell into relatively difficult and hard battles, and also avoided some powerful soul beast groups. At any time, something would happen here
In the face of life and death crises, and in the battles day after day, they quickly integrated their previous experience of participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, actual combat experience, and Xu Zihuang's seclusion and understanding.
The cooperation between the two is becoming more and more tacit.
Half a month of extreme testing, regardless of mentality, combat literacy or the development of their own abilities, is of great significance to them. Especially He Caitou, as a soul mentor, he rarely engages in actual combat like this
Opportunity. This extreme test allowed him to understand a lot and fully discover the shortcomings of his soul master's fighting method.
During this period, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo never made a move. Xu Zihuang and He Caitou relied entirely on their strength to survive the past half month.
