"Kaishan, don't be so nervous."
Xiao Mu looked down at the soul beasts that kept rushing towards him, and opened the mountain path to Zhan Kaishan who was ready for battle.
Zhan Kaishan can't afford to be careless.
This kind of scene, equivalent to a beast tide, was something he had never experienced even in his previous life.
As a large number of soul beasts came galloping, Xiao Mu also began to use the power of his soul to quickly identify the soul beasts that were suitable as mounts.
At first, the soul beasts that came were only of young age, but in the distance, nearer to the deeper places, the number of ten thousand year old soul beasts began to increase, and there were also many that were thirty or forty thousand years old.
Soon, Xiao Mu's eyes locked on the three soul beasts in the distance.
These three are all over 50,000 years old, and their age has initially met Xiao Mu's expectations, but their species do not satisfy Xiao Mu.
These three soul beasts that are over 50,000 years old are the Kuishui Yin Snake, the Three-Headed Chicken and the Wind Shadow Demon Wolf.
The first two were directly excluded by Xiao Mu.
Not to mention that these two soul beasts are not suitable for riding, Xiao Mu feels ashamed to use a snake and a chicken as a mount.
Only the Wind Shadow Demon Wolf Xiao Mu could barely accept.
However, the Wind Shadow Demon Wolf is not a rare soul beast, and its abilities are also average. Apart from its speed which meets Xiao Mu's requirements, it is not very good in other aspects.
Fortunately, it is still the beginning and there is still time to wait for other soul beasts to arrive.
At this time, the soul beasts that were closer had already approached the solitary peak, and Zhan Kaishan also tightly grasped his axe, ready to face the bloody battle that was about to come.
However, after reaching this solitary peak, a large number of soul beasts stopped on their own initiative and stood there with an intoxicated look on their faces, as if they were lost in a hazy dream.
"I told you not to be too nervous." Xiao Mu said.
He not only stimulated the medicinal fragrance of the Limit-Breaking Pill, but also used the Void Devouring Flame to greatly enhance the appeal of the Limit-Breaking Pill to soul beasts.
This temptation is so strong that once these soul beasts come into close contact with it, they will be deeply attracted by it and unable to extricate themselves.
The weaker the soul beast, the greater the impact it will suffer.
The soul beast that can climb this solitary peak must be at least ten thousand years old.
"Palace Master's methods are brilliant. I admire you."
Zhan Kaishan's pressure was greatly reduced, and he admired the Palace Master's extraordinary abilities from the bottom of his heart.
"Do you have a mount you like?"
Xiao Mu asked Zhan Kaishan while searching in the distance with the power of his soul.
Zhan Kaishan scratched his head. He was so nervous just now that he hadn't taken a close look at these soul beasts.
His requirements were not that high. He would be satisfied if he could have a 20,000 to 30,000-year-old soul beast as a mount.
After a quick look, Zhan Kaishan found more than a dozen soul beasts that could meet his requirements.
With so many choices, Zhan Kaishan's vision unconsciously became higher.
That Wind Shadow Demon Wolf is pretty good. If the Palace Master doesn't like it, why not choose this one?
The two-headed Wind Flame Tiger is not bad either. Although it is not as old as the Wind Shadow Demon Wolf and is only about 40,000 years old, it is so majestic and domineering that it is worthy of his status as the Soul Palace Heavenly Master.
Just as he was choosing, a soul beast finally started to climb the mountain.
Zhan Kaishan was once again on high alert.
Then, Zhan Kaishan discovered that when these soul beasts that were more than ten thousand years old approached the top of the mountain and touched the ring of elixir fragrance left by Xiao Mu, they stopped in confusion, just like the low-level soul beasts below, and inhaled the rich elixir fragrance.
"唳~"
From the sky, a soul beast that looked like a vulture swooped down.
The fragrance of this elixir is also effective against flying soul beasts, but after all, they are flying in the sky, so the effect is much weaker.
Moreover, this vulture-like soul beast is almost 30,000 years old, and its resistance to the temptation of the fragrance of the elixir has increased a lot.
"A flying soul beast?"
When it comes to mount choices, flying soul beasts definitely rank first for Xiao Mu.
The advantages of flying are too great. There are very few soul masters in Douluo Continent who have the ability to fly, and even fewer who can match the speed and endurance of real flying soul beasts.
"Open the mountain, get started."
Xiao Mu reluctantly treated this flying soul beast as a backup and captured it first.
"good."
Zhan Kaishan held the axe in both hands. The axe in his hand suddenly grew bigger and slapped towards the soul beast.
That's right, Zhan Kaishan hit the soul beast with the axe face instead of chopping it with the axe blade.
After all, it is to be used as a mount, so it cannot be damaged.
"唳~"
This soul beast was affected by the fragrance of the elixir, and its reaction was slow. When it was about to dodge, Zhan Kaishan's axe was already in front of it.
However, this vulture-like soul beast has good control. At the critical moment, it seems to be able to twist its body forcibly and avoid Zhan Kaishan's attack.
But at this moment, its mind went blank and it suddenly lost control of its body, and was hit hard by Zhan Kaishan's axe.
"go."
Xiao Mu took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and hundreds of ghosts flew out, turning into a soul chain that tightly wrapped around the soul beast.
Soul Chain is a method used in the secret manipulation of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, which can lock the target's soul.
This soul beast was seriously injured, and the soul chains could temporarily make it unable to move.
"Thank you for your help, Palace Master." Zhan Kaishan looked at the restrained soul beast and said to Xiao Mu.
The reason why the soul beast failed to dodge successfully just now was entirely because it was affected by Xiao Mu's soul attack. Otherwise, even if Zhan Kaishan could still deal with it, it would take some effort.
Xiao Mu waved his hand and said:
"We need to be more careful. Those soul beasts that are over 40,000 years old may break through the Danxiang Ring."
Xiao Mu had noticed before that those soul beasts had also climbed up this mountain.
The first to break through the Danxiang Ring was the Wind Shadow Demon Wolf.
In order to continuously attract soul beasts, Xiao Mu kept a pill bottle open, so as soon as he reached the top of the mountain, the Wind Shadow Demon Wolf pounced towards Xiao Mu.
"Stop it."
Zhan Kaishan's muscles bulged, and his whole body grew nearly one meter taller, and he swung the mountain-splitting axe horizontally.
"Ouch~"
The Wind Shadow Demon Wolf dodged Zhan Kaishan's attack. At the same time, it transformed into three identical Wind Shadow Demon Wolves.
This is the Wind Shadow Wolf's Wind Shadow Transfiguration ability, which is extremely deceptive.
But in front of Xiao Mu's soul power, this trick is not enough.
The two phantoms created by the Wind Shadow Demon Wolf twisted and turned invisible.
Its body also paused, as if it was stuck.
How could Zhan Kaishan miss such a good opportunity? This time, the axe handle hit the Wind Shadow Demon Wolf's waist, causing it to howl.
"Oh no, I didn't hit you too hard, did I?"
"fine."
Xiao Mu did the same thing and used soul chains to tightly bind the Wind Shadow Demon Wolf.
Zhan Kaishan had no time to rest, as the Kuishui Yin Snake, the three-headed chicken, and two other soul beasts of about 40,000 years old had already rushed over.
"Palace Master, be careful."
Zhan Kaishan's seventh soul ring lit up, and he and his axe grew larger together, becoming a giant ten meters tall holding a giant axe.
"Stop right there."
Zhan Kaishan's second and third soul rings lit up at the same time. He stepped down heavily and the giant axe smashed down at the same time.
Those soul beasts were clearly approaching from different directions, but they all involuntarily moved towards the place where Zhan Kaishan's giant axe fell, as if they couldn't wait to meet the axe.
