Chapter 6: Taotie's First Appearance, an Outrageous Mission!
"Ouch—!"
Three black shadows as swift as the wind suddenly rushed out from the thorn bushes in three directions!
The target is directly aimed at Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu in the center of the team!
The dark green wolf eyes flashed with cruel coldness, saliva dripped from its fangs, and it blew towards you with a fishy wind!
Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale instantly!
"Be careful! First soul skill - Blue Silver Bind!"
Tang San reacted the fastest. He shouted angrily and activated the Ghost Shadow Step instantly. His body turned into an afterimage and blocked in front of Xiao Wu. The sleeve arrow in his hand shot out with two "chi chi" sounds, accurately hitting the eyes of the two Inferno Grey Wolves rushing in the front!
At the same time, the Blue Silver Grass Spirit was released instantly, and several vines wrapped around the third wolf like spirit snakes!
Xiao Wu also gave a delicate cry, and the Soft Bone Rabbit spirit possessed her body. Her waist arch was activated instantly, and she dodged the wolf's claws with a nimble side flip. Her long legs kicked a wolf's waist and abdomen fiercely with a strong wind!
Xiao Yin stood there, seemingly motionless, but his eyes were as cold as a knife.
At the moment when the Inferno Grey Wolf pounced, the dormant Taotie spirit in his body seemed to be aroused by this ferocious aura!
An invisible and terrifying pressure spread out extremely covertly with him as the center like water waves!
This pressure is not directed at humans, but is purely aimed at the bloodline suppression of the soul beast's origin!
The moment the three ferocious Inferno Grey Wolves came into contact with this invisible pressure, a trace of fear from the depths of their souls suddenly flashed in their eyes!
Even the movement of attacking seemed to be stagnant!
It's like encountering a natural enemy!
It is this moment of stagnation!
Tang San's sleeve arrow hit the target accurately!
With two puffs, the two Inferno Grey Wolves rolled out howling miserably, their eyes bursting with blood!
The Blue Silver Grass also successfully entangled the legs of the third wolf!
Xiao Wu's waist kick landed firmly on the wolf's waist, and the sound of broken bones could be heard clearly!
The battle broke out in an instant and was resolved in a flash!
Yu Xiaogang looked at the Inferno Grey Wolf rolling and howling on the ground, then suddenly looked at Xiao Yin who seemed to have done nothing, his eyes full of shock!
Just now...was it a coincidence?
Why does the Inferno Grey Wolf pause at the moment of attack?
Could it be that his mutant beast spirit could even interfere with spirit beasts?!
Never heard of it!
Tang San also looked at Xiao Yin deeply, with strange lights flashing in his Purple Demon Eyes.
He saw clearly the moment when the Inferno Grey Wolf froze!
This is no coincidence! This Xiao Yin... is indeed not simple!
Xiao Wu patted her chest (without any emotion) and said with a look of relief: "Wow! Xiao Yin, you are amazing! If you hadn't discovered it in advance, we would have been in danger!"
Xiao Yin retracted the leaked gluttonous aura and his face regained its composure, as if he had just done something insignificant.
"I'm lucky. I just felt a little murderous aura." He said lightly, but his eyes swept across the howling Inferno Grey Wolf on the ground, and a trace of gluttonous instinctive desire flashed across the depths of his eyes.
He wanted to... "eat" them!
However, Tang San and the others were still present, and he didn't want to expose Taotie's abilities.
As night falls, the depths of the Soul Hunting Forest become fraught with danger.
The four of them found an extremely thick and towering ancient tree.
The branches of the ancient tree are twisted and gnarled, and there is a huge naturally formed tree hole several meters above the ground. The space inside is quite spacious and dry, making it an excellent temporary campsite.
"Rest here tonight."
Yu Xiaogang made the decision, his face showing fatigue. "Tang San, you'll be on guard for the first half of the night. Xiao Wu, the second half.
As for you, Xiao Yin... your spirit should have some perceptive abilities, so get some rest tonight. I'll rely on you during the day."
"...Okay." Xiao Yin hesitated for a moment, then agreed. At the same time, he thought to himself:
"Even though Yu Xiaogang is a loser and his theoretical knowledge seems to be plagiarized, his observation skills are still very strong!"
Tang San frowned slightly, but said nothing and nodded silently.
The figure flashed and instantly climbed onto a nearby thick branch, looking down vigilantly.
Xiao Wu spread hay and a simple blanket in the tree hole: "Xiao Yin, you sleep inside! It's the safest and most comfortable here!"
Xiao Yin did not refuse and walked to the deepest part of the tree hole and sat down against the wall.
At the same time, he closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, and the soul power in his body slowly circulated. His keen perception was like invisible tentacles, quietly covering the area around the tree hole.
Yu Xiaogang leaned against the entrance of the tree hole, took out some dry food and water and ate silently. From time to time, he glanced at Xiao Yin who had his eyes closed, and then looked at Tang San who was on guard outside, with a heavy heart.
Xiao Wu sat down not far from Xiao Yin, hugging her knees, her big eyes flickering in the darkness as she looked at Xiao Yin's quiet profile, wondering what she was thinking.
For a moment, the only sounds in the tree hole were the faint roars of animals outside and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
An hour passed.
In this quiet atmosphere—
[Ding! Strong desire fluctuation detected! Mission matching successful!]
[Quest Source: In the alien plane number [5184], camping enthusiast 'Xiaomei' suffers from mosquitoes.]
[Wish Core (Crazy Version): 'Ahhh! Damn mosquitoes! Someone give me a bottle of super mosquito repellent! So I can sleep peacefully! Best... best if someone can help me apply it to the hard-to-reach areas on my back!']
Mission Matching (Douluo Continent Live Version): Help Xiao Wu effectively expel the Bloodthirsty Soul Mosquitoes, and establish physical contact for at least 30 seconds (apply mosquito repellent to the arms or neck). Requirements: The contact must be natural, and the effect must be significant.
[Task time limit: one hour.]
[Quest Reward: Wish Points +20; [Shadow Invisibility Powder] x1 (can eliminate your own traces); Xiao Wu's favorability slightly increased (hidden).]
[Failure penalty: The host will attract all bloodthirsty soul mosquitoes within a radius of 100 meters (lasts one night).]
Xiao Yin: "…"
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of speechlessness and...pain flashed across his eyes in the darkness.
This system is broken! The missions are getting more and more outrageous!
Help Xiao Wu repel mosquitoes? And with physical contact? And in this kind of environment?
Tang San is watching outside!
Xiao Yin had heard of the bloodthirsty soul mosquito, a low-level soul beast with no intelligence that could not produce soul rings. It liked to move around at night and would quietly suck the blood of soul masters.
Because of its small size, many low-level soul masters are unable to defend themselves against it.
He subconsciously looked at Xiao Wu beside him.
Sure enough, the girl was frowning, her small hands scratching her slender bare arms irritably, and she was making slight inhalation sounds from her mouth.
In the faint moonlight coming through the tree hole, you can vaguely see a few small red bites on her fair arms.
"What's wrong, Xiao Wu?" Xiao Yin tried his best to make his voice sound calm and natural.
"Huh? Nothing..."
Xiao Wu was startled and quickly put her hand down, feeling a little embarrassed. "It's just... it feels like a mosquito bit me, it's so itchy."
She grumbled softly, but couldn't help but want to scratch.
The opportunity has come! Although this opportunity is a bit hot.
"Mosquito?" Xiao Yin pretended to be surprised, and then a look of "memory" appeared on his face.
"Oh right! When I was wandering around, I got a special mosquito repellent ointment from an old pharmacist. It's very effective. I'll look for it."
As he spoke, he examined the ring storage soul guide on his left hand (actually he was doing a quick search in the system mall).
Well...that's it!
