Ten-Thousand-Year Unicorn Tiger

Ten-Thousand-Year Unicorn Tiger

Dai Zhirou looked astonished and shocked. "You're level twenty already!!! If I remember correctly, you just turned eight, didn't you?!"

Taishi Ming looked smug. "Can't be helped. I'm a genius!"

Dai Zhirou rolled her eyes. She was utterly speechless at Taishi Ming's narcissism and thick skin.

Yet she did not refute him. Level twenty at eight years old... Tsk, tsk. She had never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it.

The word genius was not an exaggeration at all.

"Since that's the case, let's head to the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range first!"

With that, the two changed direction and headed for the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range.

As they walked, Dai Zhirou asked, "What kind of suitable Soul Beasts did you mean the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range had?"

"Rock Green Lizards, Blood Shadow Geckos, and Dragon Blood Earthworms!"

Taishi Ming smiled faintly. He had gone through all the academy's records on the Soul Beasts of the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range before choosing those three kinds.

"All three are large tribes, so they really are easy to find. But they're all extremely weak, and no one would choose them as hunting targets. Most people would rather choose ten-year Soul Beasts than choose them."

"Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

Taishi Ming said, "Don't forget, I'm from the food-type. These three Soul Beasts may truly be useless to Soul Masters of other types, but they couldn't be more suitable for me. Don't worry, my wife and I discussed this together. It can't be wrong!"

The royal city was not far from the Tianxing Mountain Range to begin with, and the two chatted as they walked.

About an hour later, they had arrived at the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range.

It was an enormous mountain range made up of one continuous stretch of peaks.

It was an exceptionally magnificent sight.

"Be careful. Once we enter the mountain range, you must stay close to me. Anything can happen in there."

After saying that, she took a bottle from her clothes and held it out to Taishi Ming. "Sprinkle this over yourself."

Taishi Ming took it and sniffed it first. "It's some kind of medicinal powder! The smell is very unusual!"

"This is?"

Dai Zhirou said, "This is medicinal powder used to conceal the scent unique to us humans. It's an essential item whenever we enter places to hunt Soul Beasts. It prevents Soul Beasts from finding us through their sense of smell, avoiding most unnecessary trouble."

Taishi Ming nodded. "Got it!"

As he spoke, he sprinkled the powder from the bottle over himself bit by bit.

The two then entered the mountain range. Once inside, all kinds of strange flowers and exotic plants filled Taishi Ming's field of vision.

Taishi Ming could not help sighing. In his previous life, these strange flowers and plants would definitely have been worth a fortune.

After they had gone a hundred meters into the mountain range, Taishi Ming immediately sensed pairs of green-glowing eyes staring at them from the grass.

And they were forming an encirclement.

A moment later, a pack of Jungle Wolves emerged from the grass one after another.

Taishi Ming gave them a quick count. There were exactly ten Jungle Wolves in the pack, each over two meters long.

Watching the Jungle Wolves slowly approach in a semicircular formation, Dai Zhirou snorted coldly. "A tiny Jungle Wolf pack with only one hundred-year Soul Beast and eight ten-year ones dares provoke me?"

Martial Soul Possession!

Dai Zhirou instantly transformed into a half-human, half-spider form. In particular, her eight long legs gleamed with a cold light, like eight sharp blades.

The moment she charged out, she directly wiped out the nine Jungle Wolves before her. The Jungle Wolves could not even struggle or resist!

After all, Dai Zhirou was already a five-ring Soul King.

Soul Beasts below a thousand years posed no threat to her whatsoever.

"Done. Let's go!"

Dai Zhirou withdrew her Martial Soul and prepared to pull Taishi Ming away. At the same time, she said, "Remember this: when hunting Soul Beasts, avoid unnecessary killing whenever possible. But once you kill, leave the scene immediately, because the smell of blood will attract other Soul Beasts."

Taishi Ming nodded solemnly upon hearing that.

Because he understood that this was experience Dai Zhirou had gained from obtaining Soul Rings many times.

Roar!

A beast's roar rang out from one side, making Taishi Ming's ears buzz.

"Damn, our luck seems a little bad. There's a powerful one nearby."

Dai Zhirou frowned. "It should be a Unicorn Tiger. They feed on Jungle Wolves. I just don't know what age it is!"

Information about Unicorn Tigers immediately surfaced in Taishi Ming's mind.

Unicorn Tigers were extremely fast.

The horn on their heads was exceptionally sharp and could pierce even the toughest hide.

They also possessed the special ability to break through defensive Soul Master skills.

Taishi Ming's scalp went numb. Facing such a vicious creature in his current state...

One touch from it, and he'd be dead.

He couldn't help suggesting, "This thing isn't easy to deal with. Let's run!"

Dai Zhirou smiled faintly, brimming with confidence. "This is the outermost edge of the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range, so this Unicorn Tiger that hasn't shown itself yet is probably only a hundred years old. At most, a thousand!"

"It's not enough to make me run!"

Taishi Ming gave her a thumbs-up. "Second Mistress, that's badass!"

Thunk!

Dai Zhirou smacked Taishi Ming on the head and snarled, "Call me Second Mistress again and I'll turn on you! From now on, call me Sister Zhirou, or Second Sister!"

Rustle, rustle...

The branches, leaves, and grass on the ground all stirred.

A massive beast, a full ten meters long, appeared before Dai Zhirou and Taishi Ming.

Dai Zhirou's expression changed instantly. Though she was still confident she could kill it, she could not help cursing, "What the hell? How could a ten-thousand-year Unicorn Tiger appear in the outer region?"

Taishi Ming was stunned as well.

At that size, how could it be a hundred- or thousand-year Soul Beast? It had definitely surpassed ten thousand years!

Running into a ten-thousand-year Unicorn Tiger at the outermost edge... what kind of shitty luck was this?!

No—Taishi Ming's sharp eyes spotted a wound on one of the ten-thousand-year Unicorn Tiger's hind legs.

It had been chased here by Soul Masters.

Or perhaps it had fled here to avoid being hunted by other Soul Beasts.

But the former was more likely. After all, aside from Soul Masters, no other Soul Beast would chase prey all the way to the outermost edge of the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range.

"Second Mistress—no, Second Sister, be careful. Its hind leg is injured. It may have been chased here by other Soul Masters."

Dai Zhirou's pupils constricted. When hunting Soul Rings, encountering humans was often even more dangerous than encountering Soul Beasts.

After all, quite a few Soul Masters had died fighting over powerful Soul Beast Soul Rings.

"Finish this quickly!"

Dai Zhirou released her Human-faced Spider martial soul once more, transforming again into a half-human, half-spider form.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black Soul Ring rose from her body.

The ten-thousand-year Unicorn Tiger opposite them had originally followed the bloody scent of its favorite Jungle Wolves. Injured as it was, it urgently needed fresh meat to replenish itself.

Yet it had not expected to find two humans here.
