After Tang Ya absorbed the soul ring, Bei Bei took out a roughly made map and walked slowly with everyone.
"Animal-type soul beasts can move. Most of the soul beasts recorded on my map are plant-type. I hope we are lucky enough to encounter a suitable spiritual-type soul beast."
On the sheepskin map, various kinds of plant soul beasts are marked, and occasionally records of animal soul beasts can also be seen.
Xiao Hongchen stared at it for a while and said in amazement: "Your Shrek Academy is indeed a good neighbor of the Star Dou Great Forest for ten thousand years. You even have something like this."
Bei Bei smiled modestly: "It's just the outermost area. The strongest soul beast recorded is only a thousand years old. If most plant-type souls were not unable to move after practicing for ten thousand years, we would not be able to record it, and it is not very accurate."
Xu Tianxi looked at it for a while, then waved to Huo Yuhao and said, "Brother Huo, this time I'm giving you soul hunting. You can choose what you like."
Bei Bei also gave Huo Yuhao an encouraging smile: "Yes, just watch it."
Huo Yuhao was deeply moved by the two men's generosity, but soon he looked embarrassed and said:
"Brother Kong, Brother Bei, I haven't learned much about soul beasts at home, and I don't know which soul beast is suitable for me."
Hearing this, Xu Tianxi and Beibei's mouth twitched at the same time, and their emotions were in vain.
"In that case... let me take a look."
Xu Tianxi frowned, lowered his eyes and looked at the map. He scanned a large area before finding a suitable one. He pointed to a corner of the map and asked, "Brother Bei, there are a group of demon-eye trees in this area. Are you sure?"
Beibei looked at it carefully and nodded seriously:
"It is certain that half a year ago, a senior from the inner courtyard of Shrek went out to hunt souls. When he passed by there, he discovered that there were dozens of demon-eye trees at this location, ranging in age from a hundred to a thousand years. The poisonous gas ejected from their body fluids formed a large-scale poison barrier.
Their survival rate is relatively high among plant-type soul beasts, and ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beasts cannot deal with such a group of trees."
"That's good."
Xu Tianxi turned to look at Huo Yuhao and introduced him: "Brother Huo, the Demon Eye Demon Tree is a rare high-level plant-type soul beast with spiritual attributes. Its own lethality is not very strong, but it is good at using its tree eyes to emit paralysis and control rays. It is quite compatible with your spiritual eyes. What do you think?"
Beibei said, "Brother Kong is well-informed, and what you said is absolutely correct. The Demon Eye Demon Tree family is a very extraordinary existence among spiritual soul beasts. As far as I know, there is a terrifying plant soul beast king in the Xingdou Great Forest whose body is this Demon Eye Demon Tree."
"Thank you very much, brothers. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Huo Yuhao didn't have many opinions of his own, but since both of them recommended him, he didn't hesitate and hurriedly thanked these two big brothers whom he had met by chance.
The two of them smiled indifferently. Tang Ya became greedy and asked Huo Yuhao to grill more fish with a smile.
The group hurried to the area where the Demon Eye Demon Tree was.
Before they even got close, a pungent and unpleasant smell rushed into everyone's nose. The poisonous fog obscured their vision and they couldn't see their hands in front of them. Everyone knew that it was the stench of the Demon Eye Demon Tree's body fluids and they all took measures to protect themselves.
In the poison barrier, a giant tree with strange eyes growing all over its body twitched its branches, releasing demonic light that shot at everyone. The stench became deeper and deeper, and it was going to bury all the invaders and turn them into nutrients.
"These things are so disgusting, watch me fire my cannon and blow them all up into the sky!"
Xiao Hongchen couldn't stand the stench of the poison, so he used one third of his strength, armed his body with thirty level-four soul guide cannons, and launched a ground-cleaning bombing, spinning back and forth 360 degrees, blasting a bright space in the poisonous fog.
"Brother Bei, let's go together!"
Xu Tianxi had a paralysis ray in his left hand and an ice ray in his right hand, and his footsteps were as swift as thunder. He shuttled between the bushes, transformed into a double-gun eagle, shooting left and right, staring at the demon eye of the demon tree that had revealed its true form, and attacked, pouring out soul guide rays as if he had no soul power.
"Good! Thunderous!"
Beibei was not willing to be left behind, so he lit up his second soul ring. His two long dragon-scale arms rushed left and right, and lightning nets raged everywhere. His claws left claw marks on the trunk of the Demon Eye Tree and tore off large pieces of bark.
Xuan Ziwen took out two level six defensive shields to block the corrosive venom and branches from all directions for Xiao Hongchen and Xu Tianxi.
Although the outburst of the three people was not earth-shattering, the momentum was quite loud, leaving the spectators, Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao, dumbfounded.
Huo Yuhao turned his head and whispered to Tang Ya, with whom he had just become more familiar:
"Sister Tang Ya, what powerful weapons are Brother Kong and the other brother using? They are so powerful even without releasing their martial spirits. They are no weaker than Brother Bei."
When Tang Ya heard this, her expression suddenly turned ugly, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"That's a soul weapon, something that came from the Sun and Moon Empire. It has different powers and can replace the soul skills of soul masters to a large extent."
Huo Yuhao noticed that Tang Ya was not interested in this soul guide weapon. Although he wanted to ask more, he had to shut up.
I don't know why Sister Tang Ya seems so dissatisfied with such a powerful weapon. Can she not afford it?
The poisonous fog from the group of demon-eyed magic trees was very powerful, and even ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beasts could not break it. However, the cooperation between Xiao Hongchen, Beibei, and Xu Tianxi was even more terrifying, especially Xiao Hongchen, who launched the fire coverage. His explosive power was more terrifying than that of many soul kings, and he quickly cleared away the poisonous fog.
Without the poisonous fog barrier, the Demon Eye Tree was unable to resist the attacks of Xu Tianxi and Beibei, and soon lost its combat effectiveness in the face of the paralysis rays, ice rays and thunder dragon claws.
"It's done. Xiao Huo, come and take a look and see if there is anything you like."
Hong Chen retracted the gun barrel after the explosion, wiping his sweat while giving Huo Yuhao a smug smile.
From the look of deep fear on Pili Beibei's face, it was clear that Xiao Hongchen's strength was absolutely invincible among his peers, but he was unable to inflict damage when he met Xu Tianxi, the sixth old man who could turn invisible. If Xu Tianxi and Xiao Hongchen were to fight face to face, as long as Xu Tianxi did not use the fixed soul guide shells, Xiao Hongchen would not be afraid of anything.
Huo Yuhao walked forward in a daze, saying that he was still a rookie who had just entered the world of soul masters: "But big brother, I don't know how old these demon-eye magic trees are."
"Bang!"
Xiao Hongchen held his forehead with his hand and said helplessly: "That's right, I'm not familiar with this thing, you can ask Old Kong, he knows about it."
Huo Yuhao: "But Brother Kong seems to have discovered something and hasn't come out of the magic bush yet."
"What?"
Xiao Hongchen turned his head to look, only to see that Xu Tianxi, who had jumped into the bushes and fired a shot earlier, had put on gloves at some point and seemed to be picking something.
"Strange, did he find something good there?" Xiao Hongchen speculated.
Beibei came over and said with a strange look on his face: "Brother Huo, I don't know what's wrong with this Demon Eye Demon Tree. There is no 400-year-old soul beast that is most suitable for you. The closest one is a 300-year-old one. Why don't you choose one and absorb it."
This battle consumed a lot of his physical strength. If he fought again, the situation would be unpredictable. A soul beast that was more than three hundred years old was considered to be close to its limit.
Huo Yuhao was about to agree when he heard a clear voice coming from the side.
"Brother Bei, did you miss it? Isn't there a tree that is more than 400 years old?"
After packing up his things, Xu Tianxi walked out from the depths of the bushes, patted a demon tree next to him that he had pierced with a paralyzing ray, with a happy smile on his face.
Beibei looked up and immediately revealed a bitter smile on his face: "Brother Kong may not have seen it carefully. Although this Demon Eye Magic Tree is only 400 years old, the fifth magic eye is almost formed. I am afraid it is close to 500 years old. How can Brother Huo absorb it?"
"You know, the limit of the first soul ring is only 423 years."
Xu Tianxi shook his head and said, "That's generally true, but not always. Brother Huo's martial spirit is his body martial spirit. Brother Bei, as a top student at Shrek, you should know the special features of the body martial spirit better than I do."
Beibei hesitated: "This..."
He naturally knew the various peculiarities of the original spirit masters, including the fact that the age of their spirit rings was different from that of ordinary people, but he didn't know whether Huo Yuhao was in the same situation.
"Wait a minute, you mean this tree is decades older."
Xiao Hongchen, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly grasped the key point, his eyes lit up: "Such a simple question, why are you so worried? It's easy to solve."
Tang Ya was full of disbelief, curled her lips, and said in a somewhat cold tone:
"The optimal spirit ring age is one of the ten core competitiveness of spirits proposed by our Shrek Academy master. For tens of thousands of years there is no problem. How come it is so easy for you?"
Maybe it was because Xiao Hongchen was the one who used the soul guide device most happily just now, which vaguely overshadowed Beibei, and Tang Ya was unhappy with Xiao Hongchen.
"(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~, what era is this? You're still holding on to antiques from 10,000 years ago. Times have long changed."
Xiao Hongchen sneered at Tang Ya's words, moved his wrist, took out a green pill from the storage ring, and said in a boastful manner:
"Here, this pill can allow a soul master to enhance his physical fitness in a short period of time. Not to mention decades, even one or two hundred years is not a problem."
"How is this possible?" Tang Ya widened her eyes, her face full of doubt.
The smile on Xiao Hongchen's face became more and more proud: "How is it impossible? I guarantee there will be no problem, and there won't be many sequelae. Just rest for ten days or half a month."
The elixir that Jing Hongchen prepared for him even had a elixir that could temporarily increase the lifespan of his soul ring by tens of thousands of years. This was the least effective elixir Xiao Hongchen had, but he took it out to brag about it without any regrets.
Beibei had seen more and knew the existence of this kind of elixir. He cast a suspicious look at Xu Tianxi: "Brother Kong, this..."
He had long seen that among the three, Xuan Ziwen was taciturn, Xiao Hongchen was lively, and the backbone was still Xu Tianxi.
Xu Tianxi smiled and nodded: "My friend has been spoiled by his family since he was a child, but his elixir is fine. Coincidentally, I just found a good herb that can help Brother Huo recover faster."
Even he had not expected that this trip would bring such an unexpected surprise. He found the fairy grass recorded in ancient books, and there was more than one. It would be fine to give one to Huo Yuhao to improve his talent so that King Tang would not shake his head at the sight of it.
It must be said that Huo Yuhao has really good luck. He can come across good things wherever he goes.
"That's great, Yuhao, just eat with peace of mind." Bei Bei turned to Huo Yuhao and smiled.
Huo Yuhao said "hmm" and took the pill thrown by Xiao Hongchen. His whole body was instantly filled with strength and he thanked Xiao Hongchen. Then he couldn't wait to go forward and cut down the nearly five hundred year old Demon Eye Tree.
With the bright yellow soul ring added, Huo Yuhao's body suddenly tensed up, as if he had turned into a human-shaped furnace, emitting scorching energy.
Two hours later, Huo Yuhao, who had successfully absorbed the energy, stood up safely, proving what Xiao Hongchen said: times have really changed.
"Level 14 peak soul power? It seems that Brother Huo practiced for quite a while before absorbing the soul ring." Bei Bei scanned Huo Yuhao with the soul power tester, with surprise in his eyes.
This soul power is just a little bit away from the admission requirement of Shrek. If he works harder, he can enter Shrek without using their Tang Sect's quota, even if he is at the bottom after entering.
"After practicing for more than a year, I'm still a little behind. My physical foundation is really bad."
