"Young Master, the Mingdou Great Forest, like the Mingdou Mountains, spans the two great empires of Sun and Moon and Xingluo. It is a soul beast forest that is about half the size of the Xingdou Great Forest and occupies one-third of the border of the Xingluo Empire.
It is home to an abundance of mutant soul beasts. Although the overall strength of the soul beasts is not as good as in the Star Dou Great Forest, they are also extremely dangerous.
The fact that those evil soul masters can commit rape, robbery, murder and arson in the outskirts of the Mingdou Forest is enough to show that they are extraordinary. "
On the soul guide boat, Old Yue was still driving the boat, while Soul Saint Zhisen fulfilled his duties as a protector, explaining the situation to Xu Tianxi and emphasizing the great danger of this operation.
"Evil soul masters are rats in the dark land, but they are known for their evil methods and are difficult to deal with. They are often able to fight across borders, and they may have some methods that we are not prepared for."
"And when we fight outside the Mingdou Great Forest, we also have to consider the threat of the mutant soul beasts in the Mingdou Great Forest. There are few good guys among them, and their aggressiveness is stronger than ordinary soul beasts. We must not be entangled by them..."
Hearing this, Xu Tianxi's eyes flickered, and he thought: "According to what the senior said, this Mingdou Great Forest is a Feng Shui treasure land. In the original Three Kingdoms, except for the Xingdou Great Forest, there should be no other soul beast gathering place that can surpass it, right?"
Mutated soul beasts are good. He likes mutated soul beasts the most. What's the point of having all the original ones? Mutated soul beasts with new abilities are interesting, such as top-level silver soul beasts.
Zhisen did not expect that the young master's focus was so strange, as if he did not take the notorious evil soul master seriously at all.
But since Xu Tianxi asked, he naturally had to answer, and he introduced the situation of Mingdou Forest slowly and steadily:
"Yes, the Mingdou Great Forest is adjacent to the Mingdou Mountains. It has a vast area and the quality of the soul beasts is generally very high. It is one of the best places for soul masters from the Sun Moon and Xing Luo empires to hunt for soul rings."
"It is rumored that there is a terrifying mutant hundred thousand year old soul beast lurking in the depths of Mingdou Great Forest. For ordinary Titled Douluo to fight it is tantamount to committing suicide. Only Super Douluo can contend with it."
"As for whether there are any legendary fierce beasts, I don't know. Such beings are extremely powerful. I'm afraid only the powerful Super Douluo like His Majesty the Ice Phoenix can rival them."
"I wonder if there are any silver soul beasts with amazing strength or powerful spiritual soul beasts? Soul beasts that are related to stars like the moon will also be fine." Xu Tianxi asked excitedly.
The corner of Soul Saint Zhisen's eye twitched, and he felt that Xu Tianxi was making things difficult for him: "...In theory, there is definitely a possibility, but I'm not sure about the actual situation. However, I have heard a few rumors, and it may have some effect."
"For example, the Xingguan martial spirit inherited by the Xingluo royal family has several important spirit skills whose corresponding spirit beasts can only be found in the Mingdou Great Forest, so there must be star-type spirit beasts there; and for example, the Sun-Moon Empire hunted a silver dragon more than 3,000 years ago, and that silver dragon came from the Mingdou Great Forest..."
Xu Tianxi's eyes became brighter, and he discussed with Soul Saint Zhisen the situation of the soul beasts in the Mingdou Forest with great interest, his heart beating fast from time to time.
After all, the area is at least half of the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if it can't breed top-level ferocious beasts, it should at least be able to breed ferocious beasts of the same level as the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King Xiaobai. There is also a legend about the silver dragon in that place, so there might be soul beasts that are very suitable for him.
There are still six soul ring slots left for the Phantom Moon Mysterious Pupil martial soul, but none of them can be wasted. He will most likely have to find the remaining soul rings himself, so he has to plan carefully.
Zhisen, who was gradually becoming overwhelmed, racked his brains to answer Xu Tianxi's endless questions, and question marks popped up on his head.
Is this young master here to capture evil soul masters or soul beasts?
Didn't he break through the third ring not long ago? And is he too confident? They are going to kill evil soul masters.
However, His Majesty the Ice Phoenix said that the young master once killed five evil soul masters of the Soul Sect level by himself, and he killed them as easily as killing chickens. Could it be that he is absolutely confident in his own strength?
Time passed quickly. After Xu Tianxi had fully explored Zhisen's knowledge, he was overjoyed and turned to the topic of cultivation without a trace of nervousness.
His tone was relaxed and at ease, his expression was bright and smiling, without a trace of the nervousness of a rookie soul master just starting out.
In fact, Xu Tianxi did not take those evil soul masters seriously.
They are just a few evil soul masters. Capture those who should be captured and kill those who should be killed. If you still can't do it after depleting most of your soul power and physical strength, just switch to fixed-type soul guide shells.
Of course, the first goal of this trip is to test the strength of the soul master, but this does not mean that he will be so conservative as not to use soul guides.
Thanks to Old Yue's generous teaching over the past few years, his soul guide skills have already reached the level of a fourth-level soul guide.
The fourth-level fixed-type soul-guided artillery shells that could only be imported in the past can now be made by hand as long as he is given enough raw materials and time. Xiao Changfeng put the fourth-level fixed-type soul-guided artillery shells he made on the black market and made a lot of gold soul coins.
The reason why he couldn't create a fifth-level soul guide before breaking through to the Soul Master level was not because he couldn't carve out a fifth-level core magic array, but because his soul power simply didn't allow him to complete the creation of a fifth-level soul guide on his own.
During the month of seclusion, he worked hard to improve himself and practiced several common lightning-attributed soul master attack methods, such as Thunder Shadow Step, Thunder Hand, and Thunder Fist, and made some progress.
On the other hand, he worked hard and finally succeeded in creating his first fifth-level soul guide.
A level 5 fixed-type soul-guided cannonball with an ice effect.
Although it is a fake imitated from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, it was made by himself after all. Theoretically, as long as it can be made to explode around a Soul Emperor, there is a great chance of taking the Soul Emperor away, and a Soul Sage will also be frozen stiff.
Since it was something he made with his own hands, it is part of his strength and there is no reason not to use it.
If the evil soul master dares to provoke him, he will just fire his cannon and blast his mother to let him experience the horror of soul guide technology! Coincidentally, during the New Year's Day, Xu Tianxi specially modified a Gatling-style fourth-level fixed-type soul guide cannon to launch a cannon, which can give the people of Douluo Continent a little fireworks shock at any time.
…
Three days later, in the evening.
Xu Tianxi and his two companions traveled by water and land and finally arrived at a large town fifty miles away from the Mingdou Forest, where they rested for a while.
The town is close to the Soul Beast Forest. The architectural style is simple yet wild. Various service facilities are provided for soul masters. Various shouts can be heard along the way. Some soul masters are temporarily looking for soul hunting companions, and some soul masters are selling precious soul beast materials hunted from the Mingdou Forest.
What surprised Xu Tianxi was that there was a small force of 500 people stationed in this town, and there were fully armed knight squads patrolling the streets. The cold light shone on their iron armor, and their sophisticated equipment revealed a murderous aura.
"Young Master, the Western Army of the Xingluo Empire has deployed 500,000 troops in the Mingdou Mountains. This place is not only a soul master supply point, but also a beacon tower, which is specially set up to guard against soul beast raids."
Old Yue has military experience and can see through the intention of the layout of this place at a glance. Soul beast attacks are what human society worries about most. The four major empires have deployed warning forces in the major soul beast gathering places.
Zhisen looked around and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that. Since there are Xingluo Empire's military forces here, Xingluo must be in complete control. I'm afraid that everyone who comes in will have their information collected silently by Xingluo Empire."
Xu Tianxi shrugged and said with a nonchalant smile: "It doesn't matter. We are all wearing soul guide masks made by Old Yue, and our soul power is completely restrained. These ordinary people can't collect useful information from us."
He had secretly observed just now that these fully armed knights of the Star Luo Empire were all strong and sturdy, and obviously elite soldiers who had experienced many battles.
But ordinary people without martial spirits, even if they are armed to the teeth, can only fight against ordinary Soul Masters at most, the kind with white, yellow and yellow configurations.
A large number of soldiers formed into an army formation are invincible, and can even make Titled Douluo retreat, but there are only 500 people here, and the threat is almost non-existent. If any one of the three of them steps out, they can be killed without leaving a single piece of armor.
Old Yue is a soul mentor who excels at fire coverage, and Zhisen is a top-level plant-type soul master. Both are good at group battles.
After sightseeing along the way, the three of them walked into the largest inn here, "Laifu Inn", found a secluded corner to stay and order food.
This place is adjacent to the Mingdou Forest. Some of the dishes are made with the flesh and skin of hundred-year-old soul beasts. The price is quite expensive, but money is not a problem for the three of them.
While waiting for the food, Xu Tianxi looked at the soul masters in the inn who were drinking and boasting, showing off their abilities, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Suddenly, an eye-catching group walked into the inn door, and the noisy noise suddenly became quieter.
Two middle-aged spirit masters who were obviously the team leaders led the group, followed by seven people, each of whom was a handsome man or a beautiful woman with outstanding temperament, dressed luxuriously, and very young, attracting many eyes and whispers.
"Such a magnificent team, it must be the elders from some powerful soul master academy or a powerful sect who brought their juniors here to hunt souls, right?"
"You ignorant idiot, you can't even recognize the noble Star Crown Medal on their chest. Let me tell you, this is the symbol of our Star Luo Empire's number one academy, the Star Luo Royal Academy!"
"Xingluo Royal Academy? That's the second-best soul master academy in the continent, second only to the legendary Shrek Academy. So, aren't they the most outstanding young talents in our country?"
"Of course not! Each of these geniuses is outstanding. I think three of them have reached the level of Soul King or Quasi-Soul King, and the remaining four are Soul Sect masters. They may be the team that our Xingluo Royal Academy will compete in the Continental Soul Master Elite Competition in two years!"
"Eh? Did you see that, brother? This group of people seems to be led by the most beautiful girl. I have lived for decades and have never seen such a beautiful girl."
"Shut up, you coward! All the students at Xingluo Royal Academy are either rich or noble. She might be the daughter of a duke. How dare you lie to her? Wake up!"
"Bang!"
The sweaty and angry elder brother slapped the stupid younger brother hard, fearing that his words would be heard and endanger his life.
Not to mention the Duke's revenge, the cultivation of the two leading soul masters alone was too much for a soul emperor to understand. They must be strong soul masters above the level of soul saints. How much horse urine did they drink to dare to provoke them! ...
In the Xingluo Royal Academy team, Xu Jiujiu walked slowly like a moon surrounded by stars, her long golden hair combed into a smooth pigtail, a soft and moving smile hung on her snow-white cheeks, her eyes were indifferent and calm, and a golden gauze dress set off her somewhat proud posture, and her temperament was rounded and elegant.
Despite being stared at by many eyes that might not have good intentions, Xu Jiujiu remained calm and composed. She had been attending various high-level occasions since she was a child and was already familiar with such scenes.
Xu Tianxi followed the crowd's gaze and glanced at her, then looked away after recognizing her identity. According to the information Xiao Changfeng gave him, this Princess Xingluo had a very high priority.
"Brother Crank has good eyesight, but his imagination is still lacking. No duke in the Xingluo Empire has such a daughter."
However, no matter how noble his status was, it had nothing to do with him. After he dealt with the evil soul master and escaped from the White Tiger Mansion, he would travel far away to the sun and the moon. There was no need for him to have any contact with him.
When Xu Tianxi's eyes fell on the soul beast dishes that the waiter brought belatedly, they suddenly became hot.
The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.
At the same time, Xu Jiujiu's casual and hesitant gaze happened to sweep over Xu Tianxi, and he keenly captured the changes in Xu Tianxi's expression and movements.
In this person's eyes, the attraction of food seems to be greater than his own?
"Huh? These three people seem a little unusual?" Xu Jiujiu looked at them for a while and found that Xu Tianxi and the two people beside him were not ordinary. They were covered with masks and their soul power was not obvious.
This control ability is not weak, at least only the strong ones in the Soul Sect can do it, such as myself.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
A strong leader of the team noticed that Xu Jiujiu looked strange, and hurriedly spoke with concern.
"Nothing, I just found someone who is a little interesting."
