Arrival at Star Dou
After confirming that Ling Yi and Yang Shelly would be carrying out this Soul Hunting Operation alone, and that no other powerful elders would be coming to their aid, Zhang Ji extended an olive branch, inviting the two to join him and his nephew.
After a moment's thought, Ling Yi agreed and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
Yang Shelly had no objections; she basically supported Ling Yi's decisions unconditionally.
"Senior Zhang, Brother Woma,"
During the journey, Ling Yi took the initiative to speak to Zhang Ji and Woma:
"Although Ling Yi's strength is lacking, he is still quite confident in his memory. During the three months he spent in ' Spirit City,' he memorized most of the information about the Soul Beast in the ' Star Dou Great Forest.'"
After a pause, Ling Yi, seeing Woma's utterly bewildered expression, said to him:
"If Brother Woma doesn't mind, you can tell me which Soul Beast you want to hunt, and I'll check if it's in the Soul Beast Soul Beast database, including its habitat, range, attack and defense stats..."
Woma remained silent, but her gaze shifted to her third uncle beside her.
Zhang Ji nodded to Woma, indicating that he shouldn't hesitate and should speak directly. He had previously invited Ling Yi to team up with him not only because he genuinely admired the young man, but also because he hoped to use Ling Yi's vast knowledge of Soul Beast to help his nephew and make the Soul Hunting go more smoothly.
It can be said that, among the entire Spirit Hall faction, apart from Musos and Bibi Dong, even Yao Qi, who was closest to Ling Yi, Zhang Ji as much as Musos and Bibi Dong about how many books Ling Yi had read in the collection tower during those three months.
Furthermore, when Ling Yi sometimes talks with Bibi Dong or Musos, he can readily recall the human history, Soul Beast information, Martial Soul information, myths and legends of the first four floors of the Collection Tower. He often quotes classical texts and can even accurately state the location of the relevant books or which page contains the content. Zhang Ji believes that unless the Collection Tower has no record of it, as long as his nephew tells him the Soul Beast he is targeting for his Sixth Soul Ring, Ling Yi definitely be able to provide useful information.
As for why Zhang Ji didn't memorize the information about the Soul Beast his nephew needed to hunt beforehand, it can only be said that Zhang Ji didn't think that much about it at first.
After all, with his Soul Douluo- level strength, helping his nephew hunt the Soul Beast needed for his Sixth Soul Ring was a piece of cake. Unless he couldn't find the target Soul Beast, it would just be a matter of hitting it a few times.
However, upon meeting Ling Yi, Zhang Ji suddenly realized that if his nephew's target Soul Beast was not within the expected range, with the database in Ling Yi's mind, they could easily find a similar and suitable Soul Beast.
While Zhang Ji was still pondering his next move, Woma, trusting his third uncle, nodded to Ling Yi and said, "The Soul Beast I want to hunt this time is a ' Six-Armed Demon Bear,' preferably between 15,000 and 20,000 years old."
"The Six-Armed Demon Bear..." Ling Yi repeated the name of the Soul Beast softly, a thoughtful look on his face.
Seeing this, the three people around him remained silent. For a moment, apart from the faint footsteps of the four people, there was no other sound within dozens of meters.
"There are fifteen books in the Archives Tower containing records about the ' Six-Armed Demon Bear.' Apart from two books that record the ' Six-Armed Demon Bear's ' Martial Soul bloodline, the other thirteen books contain information about Soul Beast, as well as introductions to the Soul Ring and Soul Skill obtained after hunting them..."
Ling Yi turned to look at Woma and asked, "Brother Woma, are you interested in the ' Six-Armed Demon Bear's ' talent, ' Six-Armed Critical Strike '?"
"Hmm~" Woma nodded and said, "That's right. The ' Six-Armed Demon Bear's ' ' Six-Armed Critical Strike ' talent can unleash six times the power in an instant. If I could obtain the corresponding Soul Skill, it would greatly enhance my strength."
After a pause, Woma continued, "It's quite a coincidence. Some time ago, when I went to the Barak Kingdom, I passed through the border army and caught up with an old friend. From him, I learned about the whereabouts of a ' Six-Armed Demon Bear.'"
"He previously led several rising stars from the border army to the ' Star Dou Great Forest ' to hunt for Soul Ring, where they happened to encounter the ' Six-Armed Demon Bear.' Based on his perception, that ' Six-Armed Demon Bear ' definitely had over ten thousand years of cultivation. However, for safety reasons, he didn't get too close, so he's not entirely sure how many years it had."
"That's why I wrote to my third uncle. I was worried that if that ' Six-Armed Demon Bear ' was too strong, not only would my team not be able to defeat it, but we might also be wiped out."
As he spoke, Woma glanced at his third uncle Zhang Ji beside him, and then told him the location of the "Six-Armed Demon Bear" that his old friend had told him about.
Ling Yi pretended not to notice Woma's little tricks, maintaining a humble and gentle attitude throughout, and began his introduction at a leisurely pace:
According to ancient records, the "Six-Armed Demon Bear" mostly lives in dense forests with abundant flowers and plants, and its dwelling place is either a tree hole or a mountain cave. There must be a "Golden-Patterned Bee" Beehive within ten miles of it...
"Within the ' Star Dou Great Forest,' there are countless places that meet these conditions; they can be found almost everywhere."
As for the place mentioned by Brother Woma's friend, if the description in the book "Landforms of the Star Dou Great Forest" inside the Collection Tower is not too different from reality, the southwest is a swamp and the due north is a small mountain range, so we can rule them out for now and prioritize searching eastward from that location..."
Next, Ling Yi offered many fresh suggestions regarding the "Six-Armed Demon Bear's " living habits and its strengths and weaknesses in combat, which Woma found quite insightful.
Along the way, Woma listened with a gleam in his eyes. It was the first time he had ever realized that there were so many things to pay attention to and tips to learn about Soul Hunting.
In fact, not to mention Woma, even Zhang Ji next to him had a look of having learned something.
How did they do it when they needed to hunt down Soul Beast for Soul Ring?
Based on your own Martial Soul attribute, determine a general direction for the types of Soul Beast to fight, and then head to the Soul Beast Forest or other gathering places for Soul Beast. In that dangerous environment full of Soul Beast, travel and search as you go until you encounter a suitable Soul Beast. If you can defeat it, fight it; if you can't, run away. In any case, it all depends on luck.
Sometimes, if you're unlucky, you might wander around forests, mountains, and other wilderness areas teeming with Soul Beast for ten or fifteen days and still find nothing.
Or, if you encounter a high-level Soul Beast, you might escape if you can, but if you're unlucky, you'll be killed off immediately.
The journey of about a hundred miles passed in the blink of an eye for the four of them. After all, not to mention Zhang Ji, the Soul Douluo, Woma was a level 60 Quasi-Soul Emperor, Yang Shelly was a level 50 Quasi-Soul King, and Ling Yi was also a high-level Soul Ancestor with a Soul Power of level 49. Their speed and endurance were not bad.
From afar, Ling Yi and his companions could vaguely sense a refreshing breeze blowing towards them from the front. The scent of fresh plants was invigorating and indescribably comfortable. Taking a deep breath of the fresh air, letting it flow through their noses and lungs, and circulating within their bodies, they felt a blissful, ethereal sensation.
As they channeled their Soul Power to their eyes and gazed into the distance, what met their eyes was a green ocean, an endless expanse of green that gave them a sense of the source of Life.
We've arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.
Still writing, next chapter before midnight~
