Chapter 69: Could this guy be the future Mr. Bear?
After looking at the surrounding terrain, Qin Zhuo slowed down his speed even though he was obscured by the aura of the dimensional void domain.
In the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, apart from soul beasts, almost no one comes in, so the forest is kept in its most original state.
There are huge ancient trees towering into the sky, as well as the remains of tree trunks lying on the ground. Perhaps because the trees here are too dense, there are not many weeds on the ground. There are only layers of shrubs struggling to absorb the little sunlight let in by the big trees.
"Although the core area is where high-level soul beasts gather, I've encountered almost no soul beasts along the way. Is it because they're so rare?"
Qin Zhuo found a dry area, took out a piece of bread from the independent space, and planned to take a rest first.
This place was a little different from what he had imagined. Not only were there few traces of humans, but there were also not many traces of soul beasts. It really didn't match its name.
But soon, Qin Zhuo understood why this happened. It was ultimately a problem of resource allocation.
As we all know, the so-called soul beast age does not refer to how long the soul beast has lived, but the level of energy cultivation in its body.
In other words, a hundred thousand year old soul beast does not mean that it has really lived for a hundred thousand years, but that it has accumulated a total energy close to that of living for a hundred thousand years in its cultivation.
That's right, soul beasts also need to practice cultivation. Perhaps a ten-year-old soul beast relies on instinct to survive, but a hundred-year-old soul beast definitely has the subjective desire to practice independently.
Just like human soul masters, the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to practice, which involves the issue of resource allocation.
Just like the Star Dou Great Forest in front of us, the core area is the most suitable place for cultivation. The further you go to the periphery, the worse the cultivation environment becomes, so older soul beasts will gather in the core area.
However, no matter how suitable the core area is for cultivation, the resources are limited, and the higher the level, the more resources are needed. If the soul beasts of advanced age are all cultivating in the core area, where will the resources here be supplied?
In other words, the soul beasts are also pursuing a balance in the core area, which also means that the number of soul beasts in this area will not be too many. As the saying goes, if you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. This law also applies to beasts.
After figuring this out, Qin Zhuo was no longer in a hurry, because in order to reasonably divide the cultivation resources, the soul beasts would compete with each other through the most primitive method, that is, to fight for territory!
In other words, no other soul beasts were encountered along the way, which means that there is a powerful soul beast in this area. Because of its existence, other soul beasts dare not appear in this territory at will.
So Qin Zhuo began to pay attention to some traces that appeared around him. In addition to practicing, soul beasts also have another way to increase their energy, which is to eat.
In every soul beast battle, most of the losers will become food for the winner, and only a few lucky ones can escape to the middle circle and become the king.
Although eating cannot completely take over the opponent's energy, it is still much faster than practicing.
This is also the reason why soul beasts die every moment in the Star Dou Great Forest, but no one comes here to pick up soul bones. On the one hand, it is because of the danger, and on the other hand, the possibility is too small!
Soul bones are treasures for soul masters, and they are also rare energy crystals for soul beasts. Soul beasts have their own scavengers, so how could they be easily given away to human soul masters?
Compared with cultivation, eating as a method of improvement accounts for a larger proportion in soul beasts. Since they eat, the lord of this area will definitely leave some traces of their actions.
By comparing the old and new traces, it became much easier to find them, and Qin Zhuo's spiritual power was very adept at capturing clues, and he soon found what he was looking for.
"Claw marks like this? Could it be another blind bear?"
Looking at the fresh marks left on the dry tree trunks, Qin Zhuo thought to himself that this time when he followed Zhao Wujie into the Star Dou Great Forest, it was like walking into a blind bear's den.
However, bear-type soul beasts are not impossible. They are strong on the one hand, and their attacks are more inclined towards physical blows, which is consistent with Qin Zhuo's expectations.
"I hope it's more than 80,000 years, otherwise I don't know how long I'll be staying in this damn place."
Following the traces, Qin Zhuo went deeper and finally found the blind bear on a huge rock exposed to the sun.
"Oh my god! Why is it this guy..."
The blind bear on the boulder had a dark golden fur, and its body almost covered the entire boulder, especially its front limbs, whose claws, which were nearly two meters long, were very conspicuous.
It is the emperor-like existence among bear soul beasts, the representative beast of strength attribute, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!
Even Qin Zhuo felt a little scared when he saw this guy. After all, the ancestor of this thing could compete with a dragon.
"How do you fight this thing? It's a tanky Berserker!"
Qin Zhuo swallowed his saliva. Even if the thunder was raging, it couldn't completely penetrate the soil when it landed on the ground.
Although the guy in front of him is not the earth, his fur that emits a dark golden light has strong defense, which is definitely tough enough!
Moreover, this thing not only has high defense, but also has terrifyingly high attack power. It can be said to be invincible in close combat, especially its pair of claws, which have the tearing attribute and are said to be able to tear even space.
Qin Zhuo estimated that among his soul skills, only the Instant Prison Thunder Seal Tribulation and the Judgment Thunder Command could barely break the defense. The Red Thunder Sword of the Sky Punishment Thunder Sword should be just enough, and the others, needless to say, would hardly be enough to even tickle him...
Poison? This thing's poison resistance must be pretty strong!
How can I repair it! I can't defeat him in a fight, and I can't kill him even if I'm exhausted...
Glowing Feather Douluo, who was following nearby, was speechless when he saw the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and covered his face with his hands, wondering why the little guy had set his eyes on this thing?
And judging from the size of this individual, it must be at least 80,000 or more years old, if not 90,000 years old. Hunting it is not an easy task!
No...How dare you, a Soul King, think of that!
Qin Zhuo: Give it a try and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!
······
To be honest, Qin Zhuo was also hesitant about whether to change his target, but what could he say? He really wanted the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's spirit ring!
"Speaking of which, this guy might be the future Mr. Bear!"
Due to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's powerful destructive power, there must not be too many of them. Although the one in front of us does not have a cultivation of 100,000 years, it is definitely a strong individual in the population. Judging from the timeline, there is a high possibility that it is the Bear King.
"Never mind. My current spiritual strength should be enough to use the secrets of the dimensional void domain. I just don't know if it will be effective..."
Qin Zhuo was thinking in his mind that it was obviously unrealistic to kill the blind bear in front of him with the strength of his martial spirit.
But Qin Zhuo's trump card is always the law of space. Conventional means cannot break the defense, so he has to try cutting the space!.
