Returnless Spear, which was mutated from Soul Breaking Spear, has one more feature, which is the exclusive element attribute.
No matter what element type Spirit Beast is, only its characteristics will be retained when absorbed, and its element attributes will be ignored.
Zhou Qiubai pondered, "The account book mentioned that Ice Crystal Pangolin often appears near the mine. This Spirit Beast is good at drilling through rock formations. Its front claws are extremely sharp. The penetration characteristics should meet your requirements. As for the year, four thousand to six thousand years is the best."
Yang Guyun nodded. "You can give it a try."
"After saving people, we will go hunting." Zhou Qiubai put away the map, lay down and looked at the sky, "Speaking of which, how is your Abandon Self training going?"
"Difficult." Yang Guyun rarely said a few more words, "It's still the same. Abandon Self It's easy, but it's hard to put the gun back. Just shoot out with one shot, leaving no room for anything. If you can't kill the enemy, you will fall into death."
"That's why it's called No Return!" Zhou Qiubai rested his arms on his head, looking relaxed.
"Hmm."
"But I suggest you, don't rush to practice the second style." Zhou Qiubai turned sideways, his eyes serious, "It's not too late to practice again when Soul King, Soul Power has changed."
Yang Guyun looked at him, waiting for his next words.
"Guess." Zhou Qiubai blinked.
Yang Guyun didn't ask again. He knew that Zhou Qiubai had many secrets.
The abnormal speed of cultivation, the deep understanding of Soul Skill, the combat experience far beyond his age...
However, everyone has their own past, and it is useless to delve into it.
The fire crackled and the night grew darker.
At noon the next day, another Slave Hunting Squad arrived as promised.
This time, Zhou Qiubai and Yang Guyun did not intend to wait for them to enter the inn, but chose to attack them head on halfway.
The five carriages and twenty guards in front of them were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. There was one Soul Ancestor in the team who took the lead, and the rest were Soul Elder and Soul Grandmaster, which looked impressive.
However, the outcome of the battle has already been determined.
Zhou Qiubai relies on Listen to Rain's extraordinary ability to sense the flow of Soul Power in the enemy's body in advance. With the blessing of Flowing Wind, his sword speed is so fast that the opponent has no time to react.
Yang Guyun and Returnless Spear are like killing machines. One shot will result in blood.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the guards were wiped out like autumn leaves sweeping away fallen leaves, and more than 40 civilians who were captured were successfully rescued.
Zhou Qiubai smiled and pointed in the direction of escape, and handed out some dry food and money.
Of course, it's not his own money.
Even if money lovers spend money, they should spend it appropriately.
"Benefactor, where are you going?" a middle-aged man asked in a trembling voice, his eyes full of gratitude and uneasiness.
"North, do something." Zhou Qiubai smiled slightly and encouraged, "Let's go quickly and find a place to stay before it gets dark. Take care of yourself!"
People thanked me profusely and left gratefully.
Zhou Qiubai looked at their backs and suddenly turned around and asked Yang Guyun: "How many people can we save?"
"Every one can be saved," Yang Guyun replied.
"Yes." Zhou Qiubai said softly, with deep thinking in his eyes, "The world is too big and there are too many evil people, but you can't choose not to save them just because you can't save them all."
He turned around, and White Clothes made a hunting sound in the wind.
"Let's go to the mine."
According to the map, the mine is located on the northwest edge of Ice-Sealed Forest, in a valley surrounded by mountains.
The two traveled through the starry night and finally arrived nearby at dusk on the third day.
Before we even entered the valley, we heard the tinkling sound of chisels, the scolding of the overseers and the cracking of whips.
Zhou Qiubai climbed up a rock wall and overlooked the entire valley.
Hundreds of miners move in and out of the mine like ants, carrying heavy loads of ore.
There were dozens of supervisors patrolling around, holding whips or sticks in their hands. A simple camp was built at the entrance of the valley, and about a hundred private soldiers were stationed in the camp. The flag of Ice Bear was flying in the camp.
"The defense is tighter than expected." Zhou Qiubai whispered, "There are a hundred private soldiers at the entrance of the valley, most of them are Soul Master, and the leader is a Soul King. There are more than thirty supervisors in the mine, at least all of them are Soul Elder. There are also four sentry towers in the valley, each with two people and equipped with crossbows."
Soul Master actually accounts for a small proportion of the population base of the Douluo Continent, but the closer to the big city where Soul Beast Forest lives, the more Soul Master there are.
Soul Master is less, that is relative to a small place.
Yang Guyun observed quietly for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "Strong attack?"
"There will be too many casualties in the storm, and those miners may be taken as hostages." Zhou Qiubai shook his head, "We have to outsmart them."
"How to outsmart him?"
Zhou Qiubai's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Hit things in the east and attack in the west."
······
A quarter of an hour later, a loud noise suddenly sounded outside Taniguchi Camp.
The private soldiers heard the sound and rushed out of the tent, only to see a black shadow flashing through the woods.
"Enemy attack! Chase!" Commander Soul King quickly led more than seventy private soldiers into the forest, leaving only thirty people to guard the camp.
At this time, Zhou Qiubai had already quietly sneaked into the valley from the cliff on the other side, moving silently through the shadows.
When he met the lone overseer, his sword flashed, his throat was severed, and his body was dragged into the darkness.
Within ten minutes, seven overseers disappeared silently.
On the Yang Guyun side, he led his pursuers in a circle in the forest. Occasionally, he would turn around and shoot, which would definitely kill one person.
The pursuers became fewer and fewer, and the panic in their hearts continued to intensify.
"Something's wrong!" Commander Soul King suddenly stopped and frowned, "This is to lure the tiger away from the mountain! Go back to the mine defense site!"
But it was too late.
Zhou Qiubai sneaked into the depths of the mine and found the room of the supervisor leader.
There was a fat man inside who was drinking leisurely with a young woman in his arms.
But his eyes were empty and there were still tears on his face.
The sword light pierced through the crack in the door and instantly penetrated the fat man's throat.
The fat man's eyes widened and blood spurted out. The woman screamed in horror and was instantly awakened.
"Don't be afraid." Zhou Qiubai quickly comforted, "Is there a leader among the miners? Take me to see him."
The woman trembled and pointed outside the cave. "Wang, Uncle Wang, he is in Mine No. 3..."
Zhou Qiubai nodded, turned around and went out.
He moved quickly in the mine and found the middle-aged man named Uncle Wang.
The man is in his forties, with a burly build and hands covered with calluses.
"There is chaos outside, is it you who did it?" Uncle Wang asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I want to rescue you, but I need your cooperation." Zhou Qiubai spoke quickly, "I will take care of the supervisor. You have to organize the miners. Once there is a fight at the valley entrance, run to the south. There is a dense forest over there. Once you enter the forest, disperse and flee. Don't look back."
Uncle Wang nodded heavily. "I understand, brothers have been holding back their energy for a long time. As long as someone takes the lead, they dare to fight hard!"
"Okay, wait for my signal."
Zhou Qiubai left the mine and quietly walked towards the sentry tower.
At the first sentry tower, two sentries are looking in the direction of the valley entrance.
The sword light struck from behind, and the two sentries were killed simultaneously without making a sound.
The second one, the third one...
As Zhou Qiubai stalked, they fell down one after another.
