The Star Forest, located in the south-central part of the continent, is lush and green even in winter.
Under Beibei's signal, everyone found an open area on the edge of the mixed zone and the outer zone, preparing to rest for a while before entering the mixed zone.
With Xu Zihuang and Beibei's cultivation and physical fitness, of course they would not feel tired, but they had to consider Tang Ya and Ning Tian.
Tang Ya's situation was slightly better. Although the Blue Silver Grass Spirit had little effect on her physical strength, she was a fighting spirit master after all and would often directly participate in battles with spirit beasts and spirit masters.
But Ning Tian's breathing became much faster, and his plump chest rose and fell slightly.
She has been eating meals carefully cooked with top-quality ingredients since she was a child. Compared with Tang Ya, who is nearly seventeen years old, she is just shorter in height.
Xu Zihuang and Beibei stood beside the two girls, alerting them to the surrounding situation. Tang Ya took out a silver-white blanket made of soul beast fur from the soul guide, and pulled Ning Tian to sit down.
He showed absolute trust in Xu Zihuang and Beibei.
"Sister Ning Tian, although you are an auxiliary soul master, you still need to train your physical fitness more. Otherwise, you may suffer a big loss in the future." Tang Ya smiled and whispered to Ning Tian. At this point,
But he subconsciously looked at Xu Zihuang aside.
Yu Tianhuang was following them along the way, and she could feel Yu Tianhuang's extremely peaceful breathing more clearly than Beibei.
It's just her unintentional words, combined with her actions of raising her head to look at Xu Zihuang, will inevitably make people think wildly.
Hearing Tang Ya's words, Ning Tian was stunned for a moment. Her aqua blue eyes were full of shyness and disbelief. She never expected that Tang Ya, who had always been a simple personality, would say such strong words.
Tang Ya, who turned her head to look at Ning Tian, also suddenly realized, her face flushed, and she stretched out her bare hand to pat her cheek.
"Oh my god, Tang Ya, what did you just say?!"
Being simple-minded doesn't mean she doesn't understand anything. What's more, soul masters are exposed to more things than ordinary people, and it is very common for them to mature prematurely.
Beibei's head was covered with black lines and she stroked her forehead.
Only Xu Zihuang acted calmly and took the initiative to alleviate the embarrassment with a gentle smile.
"By the way, Senior Sister Xiaoya, Ning Tian knows all about the several soul beasts he needs to hunt for his fourth soul ring. But I don't know your plan for hunting the soul beasts for his fourth soul ring yet. I used to talk to you
The soul guidance system and my senior brother have been practicing in this mixed zone for a while, and they know the areas where many specific soul beasts are mainly active. Maybe the several soul beasts I know are just right for you."
"Um...cough." Tang Ya coughed lightly, and her expression softened slightly when she saw that Xu Zihuang didn't seem to be aware of the ambiguity in his words just now.
"My first three soul rings came from the Centennial Mandala Snake, the Centennial Ghost Vine and the Millennium Crypt Demonic Spider. I discussed with Beibei and combined my first three soul skills with the increase in the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
, the first target is a thousand-year-old Man-Faced Demon Spider. But I also know that the number of soul beasts like the Man-Faced Demon Spider is very rare, so it still depends on luck."
Beibei said: "In addition to the Human-Faced Demon Spider, the Crypt Demon Spider is also very suitable as Xiaoya's fourth soul ring. Xiaoya's original third soul ring was the thousand-year-old one that Tianhuang you helped him hunt.
Crypt Demon Spider. If you fuse a more powerful Crypt Demon Spider soul ring, it will not only strengthen Xiaoya's third soul skill Blue Silver Cage, but also create another fourth soul skill for self-protection.
Soul skills. In terms of development prospects, they are no worse than the soul ring of the Human-Faced Demon Spider. But as Xiaoya said, if you want to meet these two soul beasts, it depends more on luck."
"If Senior Xiaoya's primary target is these two soul beasts, there is a place we can try." Xu Zihuang nodded sternly.
"When my senior brother and I were practicing in the mixed zone, we once looked at an area covered with spider webs from a distance. That should be a gathering place for spiders."
"The Man-Faced Demon Spider?!" Tang Ya's eyes widened in surprise, and she said softly: "Beibei, then I will choose the Man-Faced Demon Spider as my fourth soul ring."
With such a high-quality soul ring choice, she certainly didn't want to miss it. As the top-level demon spider soul beast, the Human-Faced Demon Spider will definitely be able to bring her the very powerful soul control skill, spider web restraint.
These are the conclusions that every soul master with the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit in the Tang Sect has reached through trial and error over the past ten thousand years.
Ning Tian's eyes moved slightly, and Beibei also understood the meaning of Xu Zihuang's words and frowned.
"Tianhuang, since it is a gathering place for the Man-Faced Demon Spiders, the number of Man-Faced Demon Spiders living there must be quite large. To be able to occupy an area in this mixed zone, the cultivation level of the leading female spider should not be weak."
This is a habit of the Man-Faced Demon Spider. A pregnant female spider will find a safe place to give birth to her offspring alone.
Unlike other top-level soul beasts, the Human-Faced Demon Spider has extremely strong reproductive capabilities. It can often give birth to hundreds of spiderlings at one time. The reason why the Human-Faced Demonic Spider is so rare is entirely because of the relationship between the young spiders.
They will kill each other, and only a few strong ones can survive. After devouring the corpses of those brothers and sisters, the surviving spiderlings will spend a short period of time in their infancy, and from then on they will have certain strength to live alone.
Xu Zihuang smiled calmly.
"I have carefully observed the coverage area of the largest spider web in that area before. That is, the spider web ejected by the female spider will not exceed twenty-five meters in diameter. After conversion, the female spider's cultivation level is about 4,000 meters.
Between one and five thousand years, it is just right for Senior Xiaoya to be the fourth soul ring. After all, I have to give it a try, Senior Brother Bei, with our strength we can handle it."
"Less than five thousand years of cultivation?" Beibei's mind moved slightly.
What he is most worried about is that the female spider's cultivation level is too high, even close to the ten thousand year cultivation level. It is impossible to deal with or even kill a human-faced demon spider of that level in this vast star forest.
, it still takes a lot of effort.
Moreover, Tang Ya couldn't absorb the soul ring of the female spider. This would be a bit of a waste.
But now Yu Tianhuang has basically determined that the female spider's cultivation level does not exceed five thousand years, so it is indeed feasible.
Suddenly, Xu Zihuang and Beibei, who were still talking before, suddenly looked to the left.
A sound similar to scales scratching across flowers, trees, and dry leaves suddenly sounded.
Ning Tian and Tang Ya also reacted. Ning Tian was pulled behind by Xu Zihuang, while Tang Ya came to Xu Zihuang and Beibei to activate the Purple Demon Boy.
Two yellow and one purple, three soul rings rose from Tang Ya's feet, moving up and down. Blue-black vines also grew crazily from Tang Ya's delicate body at this moment.
Since merging with the soul ring of the thousand-year-old underground demon spider, the color of her blue silver grass has changed from the original dark blue to blue-black.
A flash of purple light flashed in Tang Ya's eyes, and she said happily.
"Tianhuang, Beibei, is a big pink snake with a bulge on its forehead. It should be a thousand-year mandala snake. If the cultivation level is suitable, it will also be a good choice as my fourth soul ring."
"It is indeed a mandala snake, but judging from the color and length of this mandala snake, its cultivation level is only about 3,200 years." Xu Zihuang, who released the Golden Boy Martial Spirit, gave an extremely accurate answer
judgment.
How could the Tang Sect's Purple Devil Boy be able to match the martial soul instinct of his Golden Boy's martial soul?
"Quak quack -" amidst the strange cry, the thousand-year-old mandala snake suddenly turned into a pink afterimage and rushed towards everyone. The air was filled with sweet poisonous mist.
Although the Mandala Snake is not as good as the Man-Faced Demon Spider, it can still be regarded as a very powerful poisonous soul beast. It has its own neurotoxic poison, its body is as hard as iron, it is difficult to be hurt by swords, and it is incredibly fast.
.But the most terrifying thing is its aggressiveness. Once it encounters a human, it will basically attack.
Xu Zihuang and Beibei's expressions remained unchanged. A thousand-year soul beast would not pose a threat to them. Ning Tian also knew this very well and did not release the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to assist everyone.
Tang Ya snorted coldly and took action one step ahead of the two of them.
As the purple third soul ring shone, sixteen jet-black blue silver grasses rushed out from the ground under the pink afterimage without any warning, and instantly met above to form a single cage.
This is Tang Ya's third soul skill, Blue Silver Cage. Because it is only a thousand-year soul ring skill, although this Blue Silver Cage is instant, it can only be released on a single target.
The mandala snake with three thousand years of cultivation was not that easy to deal with. The pink light on the snake's body shone brightly, its speed increased again, and it got out of the blue silver cage when it was closed.
And at the next moment, it was wrapped by a piece of dark red crystal with sharp edges. The body of the mandala still maintained its swooping posture, solidified in the dark red crystal that reflected the magnificent halo, like a piece of crystal from ancient times.
The remaining amber.
There is no doubt that it was Xu Zihuang who took action. This is enough to show how powerful his second soul skill is. Compared with Tang Ya's Blue Silver Cage, it is not only instant, but can also be locked with mental power.
of.
With his current level of tangible and intangible spiritual power, he is able to lock on a range within a thousand meters.
In other words, as long as you get within a radius of 500 meters with his body as the center, you can't avoid the destruction of his second soul skill mirror, and you can only intercept it head-on.
Among the control soul skills, this type of soul skill is also known as the most domineering and powerful control skill.
At the same time, Xu Zihuang waved his right hand and used his soul power to disperse the poisonous mist of this three-thousand-year-old mandala snake in the air.
Tang Ya looked at the three-meter-long mandala snake in the dark red crystal, with a pink body and a pair of small ruby-like eyes, and said in surprise.
"Exactly. Judging from the body length and color, this mandala snake has just exceeded 3,200 years of cultivation. Tianhuang, how did you do it?"
After the Millennium Mandala Snake sheds its skin, the color of its body will change from dark green to pink, its length will shrink to one meter, and then it will grow by one meter every hundred years. It will shrink once every thousand years of cultivation. The color of its body
Then gradually deepened,
Tang Ya was unaware of Xu Zihuang's golden boy's martial soul instinct of dynamic vision.
"This is the innate ability of my martial soul. It should be similar to Senior Sister Xiaoya and your Tang Sect's Purple Demon Boy." Xu Zihuang replied with a smile.
Tang Ya looked at Xu Zihuang very seriously and sighed: "Tianhuang, with your martial spirit, you are really suitable for practicing our Tang Sect's martial arts. It's a pity..."
She, who was always thinking outside the box, thought of Huo Yuhao again.
"Although Yuhao's martial soul is also an eye, it is only at level 19. I don't know if it can break through to level 20 before the start of next semester. Beibei, why don't you give me the soul-boosting soul you gave me?
Give the pill to Yuhao."
Beibei pondered for a moment and said with a serious face: "Xiaoya, there are some things we can't help with. This time I gave Yuhao the Soul Ascension Pill, but what about next time? In fact, we don't necessarily want Yuhao to stay in the academy.
Studying. He is under too much pressure in the academy, so leaving the academy may not be a bad thing."
Thinking of Huo Yuhao's increasingly gloomy temperament some time ago, his eyes couldn't help but become deeper.
Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian looked at each other, but neither of them spoke to interfere with Tang Ya and their Tang Clan's internal affairs.
Xu Zihuang didn't care about Huo Yuhao at all. Although Ning Tian didn't like Huo Yuhao, he couldn't show it in front of Tang Ya and Beibei.
Tang Ya thought about it in silence and felt that what Beibei said made sense.
"Beibei, you are right. Didn't Yuhao show some talent in the production of soul guidance tools? If he fails to pass the soul guidance department's entrance examination, he can stay in Shrek City and contribute to our Tang Sect.
Do something about the rebuilding.”
After such an episode, everyone rested for a while and finally entered the mixed zone. Under the leadership of Xu Zihuang, they headed towards the area where the Man-Faced Demon Spider gathered.
However, halfway through, they were lucky enough to encounter a soul beast whose cultivation and attributes were very suitable for Ning Tian.
"Aang——" A sharp and shrill elephant cry resounded through the sky, and even the surrounding flowers, plants and trees trembled in the elephant cry. A huge creature fell powerlessly to the ground.
It was a giant elephant with a length of more than ten meters and a shoulder height of five meters. The muscles of the whole body bulged exaggeratedly, and the crystal-yellow cuticles covering the whole body fell like ice crystals. The two huge white tusks also
One of the trunks was broken and stained with red blood. The trunk, which was also huge and covered with yellow hair, was twitching slightly, and it looked like it was no longer alive.
Beibei and Tang Ya stood around the trunk of this giant elephant, while Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian stood on the huge head of this giant elephant.
A solid crystal spear penetrated deeply into the giant elephant's head from its eyes. Ning Tian held the handle of the spear with a little force and pierced its cerebral cortex.
A circle of luxurious purple soul rings slowly condensed and formed over the corpse.
Xu Zihuang then hugged Ning Tian and landed on an open space that was not stained by blood, and nodded to Ning Tian.
Ning Tian did not hesitate, and immediately sat down cross-legged, summoning the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, and led the diamond mammoth's soul ring to merge with himself.
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and the Qibao Glazed Pagoda looked particularly gorgeous. Against the backdrop of the Qibao Glazed Pagoda, Ning Tian seemed to have a rounded and soft beauty, and his whole body exuded a special nobility.
Xu Zihuang conveniently put the two tusks of the diamond mammoth into the storage soul guide. Beibei and Tang Ya also came here to protect Ning Tian.
Beibei said thoughtfully: "I didn't expect to encounter a spirit beast like the Diamond Mammoth on the outskirts of this mixed zone."
"I remember the academy mentioned that soul beasts like the diamond mammoth seem to have been extinct for a long time. It seems that our luck is really good this time." Tang Yake didn't think as much as Beibei.
The reason why the diamond mammoth is on the verge of extinction is not only because it can only give birth to one offspring at a time and has relatively poor fecundity, but also has something to do with the endless hunting by human soul masters.
One is for the precious soul ring of the Diamond Mammoth.
Although the Diamond Mammoth is not as powerful as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, it is still a powerful soul beast of the second level. Its defense and strength are terrifying, and its pair of ivory tusks are extremely sharp.
He also possesses a range-control natural soul skill. Except for the lack of long-range attack methods, it is perfect in other aspects.
Among the seven major sects ten thousand years ago, the directly inherited martial spirit of the Elephant Armor Sect was the diamond mammoth. This is enough to show how powerful this spirit beast is.
This diamond mammoth soul ring has naturally been sought after by many soul masters.
The other is that the diamond mammoth's ivory material is special and can be used as an auxiliary material for making high-level soul tools. It was only after the collision between the Douluo Continent and the Sun and Moon Continent that the diamond mammoth was nearly extinct in just a thousand years.
The diamond mammoth in front of him, which has a cultivation level of nearly five thousand years, is definitely more powerful than many ten thousand year soul beasts, but unfortunately it encountered Xu Zihuang, a monster with soul emperor level combat power at the beginning of the soul sect.
Xu Zihuang's brows twitched as he put away the diamond mammoth tusks and looked into the depths of the Star Forest. After his mental power reaches a certain level, he will have some special premonitions.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. With the ancient, ninety-eighth-level super Douluo following him secretly, there would be no problem.
An hour passed, and the night completely enveloped the entire Star Forest.
The soul ring of the diamond mammoth was completely integrated into Ningtian's Qibao Glazed Pagoda martial soul. At the same time, she also opened her water-blue eyes. In an instant, the brilliant light of the Qibao Glazed Pagoda illuminated her
The delicate body was enveloped inside, and then slowly dissipated.
Two yellow and two purple, four soul rings rising from his feet. This means that Ning Tian has broken through to the soul master level and entered the soul sect realm.
"Congratulations, senior Ning Tian." Tang Ya stepped forward with a smile and held Ning Tian's hand.
Ning Tian smiled elegantly and met Xu Zihuang's eyes. With the relationship between the two of them, there was no need to say such superficial words as 'thank you'.
But at this moment, the ground suddenly trembled, which was a real earthquake.
Tang Ya and Ning Tian almost fell due to instability.
Xu Zihuang and Beibei quickly stood in front of them. In the night, a small hill seemed to be moving hundreds of meters away.
It was naturally not a mountain bag, but a much larger diamond mammoth. This diamond mammoth was at least over 30 meters long, each of its legs was ten meters tall, and its hairy yellow skin was covered with white.
Crystal-colored horn, truly diamond-like horn. This is a sign that Diamond Mammoth’s cultivation has broken through to ten thousand years.
When they saw the corpse of the thousand-year-old diamond mammoth in front of everyone, its crystal-yellow eyes suddenly turned blood red, and its huge trunk raised its head like it blocked the sky.
An elephant roar sounded loudly with a strong sense of grief and anger.
In an instant, an unparalleled sound wave erupted, creating a huge impact.
The surrounding towering ancient trees tens of meters away were shattered instantly, as if they had been decomposed and turned into dust. The terrifying sound ravaged an area of hundreds of meters. Within this area, all the flowers, plants and trees had been destroyed.
disappear.
Tang Ya and Ning Tian were both on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, Xu Zihuang and Beibei were protecting them in front, blocking most of the impact.
As the saying goes, lions roar and elephants roar, dragons roar and tigers roar.
Lion-type soul beasts have never been the only ones who are good at sonic soul skills.
Amidst the raging sound waves, the ten-thousand-year-old diamond mammoth rushed towards the direction of Xu Zihuang and Beibei.
Everyone knew clearly that the diamond mammoth that turned into Ning Tian's fourth soul ring just now was probably the heir of the ten-thousand-year-old diamond mammoth in front of them.
Beibei, who had always been gentle and elegant, became extremely solemn.
"A diamond mammal with a cultivation level of over 30,000 years."
Xu Zihuang, however, took the initiative to face the diamond mammoth that had been cultivated for 30,000 years with a calm expression.
Before Beibei had time to react, the diamond mammoth had already arrived in front of Xu Zihuang as the earth trembled. Another roar penetrated the sky, and two thick elephant hooves crushed towards Xu Zihuang with unparalleled power.
.
Xu Zihuang's eyes froze, and as five soul rings, three purple and two black, emerged, the extremely deep fifth soul ring suddenly shone.
In the space behind him, an illusory silver eyeball appeared out of thin air. It was exactly what he looked like when he transformed into the pure spiritual evil-eyed tyrant of his fifth soul ring.
The eyeball's hole also shrank, and silver light instantly enveloped an area one kilometer in diameter. The air was twisted violently, and everything seemed unreal. And all the plants within this range were moving in an astonishing way.
They were withering at a rapid speed. They were not directly destroyed, but the life chain was damaged. Their own structures were severely disordered under the influence of that terrifying mental force.
The fifth soul skill, spiritual storm!
The silver light turned into wavy silver light patterns, like a bright silver ocean suspended in the air. Xu Zihuang was the center of this ocean.
Immediately afterwards, the wavy silver light pattern suddenly trembled. The tremor was very slight and did not cause any destructive force wherever it passed. But when this vibration was transmitted to the body of the 30,000-year-old diamond mammoth
, the diamond ice crystal-like cuticle on its huge body began to appear countless fine lines, and large, large folds appeared on the skin. The degree of depression and protrusion of the folds became more and more exaggerated, and finally exploded.
A cloud of blood mist spread all over the sky.
A powerful soul beast named Diamond Mammoth with thirty thousand years of cultivation, no body remains.
This is Xu Zihuang's fifth soul skill, the only purely spiritual attack soul skill he possesses.
The terrifying mental power starts to destroy directly from the inside, causing the life chain of all living things to become disordered and finally collapse.
