Chapter 114 The Jade Bead Beast and the Second Soul Skill (2 in 1, 4000 words)
"It seems that you have made a lot of preparations." Su Yuntao looked at the two people's outfits and marveled.
Wearing long sleeves, long pants, gloves, scarf, mask (made of cloth), and a bamboo hat, he held a straight long stick in his hand, and exuded a faint smell of herbs. Su Yuntao's outfit was also the same, except that there was no
Herbal flavor.
"Here." Tang San took out a sachet and handed it to Su Yuntao.
Su Yuntao knew at a glance that this was Tang San's homemade anti-mosquito sachet, so he took it with him without asking. Since Tang San's "self-made anti-scent lozenge" was a big success last time, no one would
Objected to Tang San's knowledge of herbal medicine.
"Xiaosan, do you have more of this?" Su Yuntao asked.
"Yes." Tang San replied, "The smell of the sachet will weaken over time, and one can last up to 12 hours, so I prepared a lot of them."
Su Yuntao nodded, "I have a friend who works here, and I asked him to help us hunt for souls. He is very familiar with this place, so you should listen to him carefully later."
The two nodded, and just then a refreshing male voice came from the front.
"Yuntao, come here quickly."
Gu You looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man dressed the same way waving in this direction. He had a thick arm guard on his right hand, a brown raincoat on his shoulder, and a short sword on his left waist.
, the mask was pulled down, revealing a bright smile.
Su Yuntao went up to him, hugged the man, and introduced to Guyou Tang San: "This is my good friend, Xie Sen, a level 24 agility and attack great spirit master."
"It's a close combat reconnaissance type sensitive attack type." Xie Sen emphasized. He smiled and said to Gu You and Tang San: "I am a friend of this stupid wolf, Xie Sen. You are the two young geniuses he mentioned, right?
.”
"I'm so envious that two people with innate soul power can appear in one village at the same time."
"I am usually responsible for patrolling here, checking if there are any poaching soul masters, and knocking them down. Or I find soul masters in danger and rescue them."
"My martial spirit is a baboon. Do you know a baboon? It is something very similar to a monkey. Because of my martial spirit, I like to eat fruits. My favorite food is..."
"Okay, stop it." Su Yuntao couldn't bear it anymore. He felt that if he continued to talk to him, he might have to go into the forest the next day. "He usually patrols alone, so he will chatter when he meets people. You guys
Just ignore it.”
With that said, he ignored Xie Sen and walked inside with Gu You and Tang San.
Xie Sen quickly said: "I'll just say the last thing."
"Welcome to the Swamp of Malice."
Entering the Malice Swamp, Xie Sen immediately changed his appearance. He put his left hand on the hilt of his sword and followed the team without saying a word. His eyes scanned around to check the surrounding environment.
Entering this swamp, Gu You felt very uncomfortable and uncomfortable all over.
Different from the Soul Beast Forest that I've been to before, Gu You's first impression here is that it's eerie. The chirping of various insects makes people upset. The humidity is much higher than the outside world and makes clothes stick directly to the skin. In addition, it's heavier than outside.
There was so much stench that even wearing a mask couldn't stop it.
“What a terrible place.”
This was not what Gu You said, it was Tang San who said it. Tang San had never been to such a humid place. Most of the grass he saw on the ground was not even bluesilver grass, which made Tang San even more irritated.
.
"Calm down," Sheson said. "The swamp is what it is. All we can do is accept it and adapt to it."
Tang San nodded, he was just complaining casually, it was not that he couldn't accept this place completely.
Continuing to move forward, the ground becomes more and more humid, as if walking from dry normal ground to mud. You can even hear a "squeaking" sound when your feet step on the ground.
"Stop." Xie Sen said, "Everyone squat down and don't make any noise."
After hearing Xie Sen's words, the three of them squatted down.
"Shh, don't make a sound." Xie Sen emphasized again in a low voice. The world around him suddenly became quiet. In the silence, Gu You found that all the insects that had existed suddenly disappeared, and he could only hear the wings of a group of insects vibrating in the air.
sound.
Xie Sen closed his eyes and opened them after a while, "You can get up now. The sound is a giant bee, a very common beetle spirit beast."
"About 70 meters ahead of us on the right, we kept quiet and moved forward to the left to avoid them."
Su Yuntao at the front nodded, and everyone stood up gently and moved forward to the left.
"What is the giant bee?" Tang San asked Gu You who was walking in front. Xie Sen, who was standing behind, thought he was asking him, and when he was about to answer, he only heard the voice coming from the front.
"Giant Bee, a very common bee-shaped soul beast, is usually a ten-year soul beast and rarely appears at the hundred-year level. It mainly lives in this swamp area. It is about one meter long. The main way of attacking is to use its tail.
Bee stings attack enemies and secrete paralyzing toxins."
"They usually move in groups, ranging from three to eight. The leader of the group is called the queen bee, which is usually a century-old spirit beast. Occasionally, a thousand-year-level queen bee appears."
"However, the queen bee rarely appears and usually stays in the nest, so you don't have to worry too much about encountering it."
After listening to Gu You's explanation, Tang San nodded to show that he understood, and no one noticed Xie Sen, who looked weird at the back.
"Su Yuntao! Is the young soul master you brought here really a young soul master from the Junior Soul Master Academy?!" Xie Sen shouted in his heart. This explanation was more detailed than what he wanted to say.
Next, everyone avoided two swarms of bees, and as they gradually moved towards the center of the forest, the ground gradually became more dangerous.
"Don't look at that place as it looks like a normal ground. In fact, it's a swamp." As he said that, Xie Sen took the wooden stick and pushed it into the ground. He saw that the wooden stick was inserted into the ground without any hindrance.
Stir, and the dark and sticky mud inside is turned up.
"I saw that you all brought wooden sticks, which is very good. It seems that you were well prepared before coming in." Xie Sen nodded in approval.
"That's how this stick is used. From here on, every step you take must first make sure the front is normal, unless you want to be buried here now."
"Huh?" Gu You seemed to suddenly think of something, and whispered to Tang San: "Xiao San, Green Grass Field."
Hearing Gu You's words, Tang San quickly realized what Gu You wanted to express. He nodded and sent his soul power from his feet to the ground.
From Tang San's feet, dense blue silver grass suddenly grew, extending all the way to the depths. On the road that was just determined to be a swamp, the blue silver grass grew even more lush.
Under the surprised eyes of Su Yuntao and Xie Sen, Gu You stood on the blue silver grass and walked forward. When he reached the edge of the swamp, Gu You took a deep breath and stepped out.
In front of everyone, Gu You's body remained motionless and did not sink.
"Success!" Gu You turned to Tang San and extended his thumb, and Tang San also smiled and extended his thumb to Gu You.
"???" Su Yuntao and Xie Sen had questions in their eyes and had no idea what was going on.
The principle is very simple. Although they are all swamps, this place is not water but mud, but there is a lot of water. So the blue silver grass generated by Tang San's soul power absorbs all the water in that small piece of mud, and then uses blue to form it.
The roots of the silver grass anchor the soil and turn it into a walkable path.
Of course, the principle would not be told, and Su Yuntao and Xie Sen did not ask. Following this green path, the two quickly arrived at the swamp lake.
"This is it." Xie Sen said, stepping on the ground that was relatively moist but considered solid: "I heard from Yuntao that the spirit beast you want is a century-old jade bead beast. I have seen this spirit beast several times.
It’s usually right here.”
"Next, let's find a place to camp where we can see it and wait for it to come over."
The four of them found a huge tree, built a platform on it, and made a roof and walls out of leaves and mud, and took turns keeping an eye on it.
Two days later, at noon, it was Gu You's turn to keep tabs.
"It appeared." Gu You's excited voice startled the three people who were resting, and everyone looked at the shore at the same time.
Under the sunlight, the jade bead beast's skin looks like crystal beads, reflecting blue light.
"It's pretty good-looking." Su Yuntao suddenly said something without thinking. Everyone looked at him in surprise, and he could only bite the bullet and say: "Why, this is indeed pretty good-looking."
Gu You spread his hands and said, "It's quite good-looking, but it's a pity that the body length is about 800 years old, so it suits me just right."
With that said, Gu You jumped down and landed like a superhero with a "boom". When he raised his head, he had completed the possession of the martial spirit. Under the gaze of the Jade Pearl Beast, he rushed towards it with a roar.
"Wait!" Xie Sen wanted to jump down to let Gu You calm down, but was stopped by Tang San.
"There are four of us here. Xiaoyou is not the highest in cultivation. But no matter in terms of brains or combat power, the three of us can't compare to him."
Su Yuntao said to Xie Sen, "Although it's strange to say this, I can't beat Xiaoyou who is going all out. If Xiaoyou can't beat that jade bead beast, we can't win either."
With that said, Gu You was already in close combat with the Jade Pearl Beast.
Although he didn't know what kind of monster the thing that rushed towards him was, he was definitely coming from a bad person. The Jade Pearl Beast opened its mouth wide and used all its limbs to launch it towards Gu Yu.
Seeing the Yuzhu Beast's bloody mouth rushing towards him, Guyou struck with his right leg and stepped on the ground. His figure was suddenly raised three meters, just in time to avoid the Yuzhu Beast's mouth.
The Jade Bead Beast didn't bite anything and was trapped on the ground in a daze. Gu You's legs, which were still in the air, were entangled with purple thunder-like soul power and exerted downward force.
"War Stampede!"
As Guyou roared, his legs hit the Jade Pearl Beast's back. The Jade Pearl Beast's mouth opened wide in pain, and blood could be seen flying out of its mouth.
The Jade Bead Beast swung hard and threw Gu You off its back. Gu You hit a tree and quickly stood up. Just in time to see the originally blue Jade Bead Beast emit a faint white light, and a huge momentum rushed towards him.
"Okay, it's the second stage. I knew it wasn't that simple." With that kick, Gu You knew that he had failed to cause any harm to the Jade Bead Beast.
That kick could create a big crater on the ground, but it felt wrong when it hit the Yuzhu Beast. There was no tearing at all. Gu You found that there wasn't even blood on the Yuzhu Beast's back. Maybe it was just the impact. There were some internal injuries.
To be continued...
