Lu Shiyuan immediately knew what Ye Youying meant. "Sister Dark Shadow, is it Bloodblade Mantis?"
"Yes, according to my perception, the age is not low, at least more than 10,000 years."
"Great, Fourth Soul Ring of Zhu Zhuqing has been approved!" Ning Rongrong clapped her hands excitedly. This is not the first time she has participated in Soul Hunting, but it is indeed rare for it to go as smoothly as this time.
When Third Soul Ring was hunted for her, Sword Douluo was the one who took Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with her, and she spent more than ten days in Star Dou Forest.
Just when everyone was happy, Lu Shiyuan's body suddenly stiffened.
Then he looked at Ye Youying with innocent eyes.
The latter immediately understood what he meant and lowered his voice. "Is there a mission?"
"Yes, I am asked to defeat the invading Bloodblade Mantis alone. The reward is External Soul Bone."
Ye Youying couldn't help but frown. Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was roughly equivalent in strength to Soul King's peak or Entry-Level Soul Emperor among humans.
But Bloodblade Mantis is not included in this criterion.
Just like that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, even though it only has 60,000 years of cultivation, it is comparable to Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
The real combat power of Bloodblade Mantis, a cruel and bloodthirsty Soul Beast, far exceeds that of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Bloodblade Mantis, a ten-thousand-year-old creature, has real combat power comparable to Soul Saint.
Otherwise, it would not have become the target of Soul Beast, and even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would take the initiative when encountering Bloodblade Mantis that is over ten thousand years old.
This is to eliminate future troubles.
In comparison, human Soul Master is not very interested in Bloodblade Mantis.
Because this kind of Soul Beast is powerful, the additional effect of Soul Ring is not much stronger than other Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It can be said that the cost-effectiveness ratio is completely disproportionate.
Normally Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring can only be absorbed when Soul Master Fifth Soul Ring. Logically speaking, if you find Soul Saint to help, you can definitely complete Soul Hunting.
But if you choose Bloodblade Mantis, a Soul Saint will definitely not be able to handle it without damage.
At this time, either form a team of Soul Saint, or ask the strong ones from Soul Douluo or even Titled Douluo to help.
Owing a favor to Soul Saint and owing a favor to Titled Douluo are not the same concepts. It is for this reason that Bloodblade Mantis has become synonymous with low cost and efficiency.
Although Lu Shiyuan had a good performance when facing Zhao Wuji before, and was even evenly matched with Zhao Wuji at one time, Ye Youying knew that as long as time was extended, the loser would definitely be Lu Shiyuan.
In addition, the combat power of Soul Beast at the same level is slightly higher than that of Soul Master. Although Lu Shiyuan has absorbed Fifth Soul Ring now, it is still unclear who will win.
This mission really didn't come at the right time.
But she also knows that if Lu Shiyuan wants to become stronger, she can only follow this path without looking back.
What's more, the reward this time is External Soul Bone. For Soul Master, the value of External Soul Bone is much greater than the ordinary Soul Bone.
"Xiao Yuan, try it later. If it doesn't work, sister will help you. We would rather not get this reward than put ourselves in danger." Ye Youying's concern cannot be faked, and Lu Shiyuan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"Don't worry, Sister Dark Shadow, I know what I know." He gently shook Ye Youying's hand and whispered, "I am Soul King now, and I still have two pieces of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and Invincibility Skill with me. Even if I can't beat Bloodblade Mantis, I can protect myself."
"Okay, be careful." As soon as Ye Youying finished speaking, a Bloodblade Mantis crossed the woods and appeared in front of everyone.
Soul Beast's two front paws were filled with rich blood, and the dried blood turned into a pool of dark brown stains, adhering to its front paws.
It's hard to imagine how many Soul Beast this Bloodblade Mantis had slaughtered before it would have such a strong smell of blood on its body.
Until now, Lu Shiyuan can still see the remains of minced meat shaking back and forth under its huge mouthparts.
To judge the age of Bloodblade Mantis, start with its front paws. A thousand years ago, the Razor Blade on the front paws would increase by one centimeter every hundred years, and after a thousand years, it would increase by one centimeter every five hundred years.
The Bloodblade Mantis in front of me has Razor Blade on its front paws that are 30 centimeters long. Judging from the date, it should be around 11,000 years old.
The ferocious aura that hit her face made Ning Rongrong couldn't help but hold her breath. This innate wildness and ferocity of Soul Beast made her, a little girl who was inexperienced in the world, almost weak from fear.
Lu Shiyuan patted her shoulder gently, and a Soul Power passed through her.
Feeling this warmth, Ning Rongrong's face looked a little better. She Ningmei defended herself and said, "Shi Yuan, I was just suddenly frightened."
Lu Shiyuan smiled and reassured, "It's okay, Bloodblade Mantis is indeed not an ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Your reaction is normal, don't take it seriously."
Xiao Wu is the transformed form of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and she has seen Soul Beast, which is more powerful than Bloodblade Mantis.
Not to mention anything else, just the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the core area of Star Dou Forest, any one of them can knock down the Bloodblade Mantis in front of you.
Zhu Zhuqing has also seen life and death. Under the guidance of Ye Youying, she has faced the wild and untamable Soul Beast more than once.
Therefore, in comparison, only Ning Rongrong's performance was the worst, which she found unacceptable.
"The Qibao has Liuli..." Ning Rongrong, eager to prove himself, immediately summoned Martial Soul. Just as he was about to release Soul Skill, he was stopped by Lu Shiyuan.
"Rongrong, you go to the back first. Sister Dark Shadow will protect you."
"Shi Yuan, I can fight!" The despised girl looked ugly. She thought Lu Shiyuan thought she was a burden.
Lu Shiyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that this girl had misunderstood. "You are overthinking, Rongrong. I want to test its strength first. You let me go alone first. If I can't hold on anymore, we can all attack together."
As Xiao Wu, who has spent the longest time with him, he immediately understood Lu Shiyuan's intentions.
She took a step back and pulled Ning Rongrong's wrist.
"Rongrong, since my brother became Soul King, he hasn't tried his best yet. Just let him try."
Only then did Ning Rongrong realize that he had misunderstood Lu Shiyuan. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Shi Yuan, I can really do it! As long as you need it, I will never back down!"
"Rongrong, we all believe in you." Lu Shiyuan naturally has no doubts.
Because the current Ning Rongrong is really different from the original one.
How could a qualified heir who was personally trained by Ning Fengzhi and taught by two strong men, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, be a soft-legged shrimp who is afraid of Soul Beast.
It's a pity that due to its own system mission, there is a piece of External Soul Bone that is more precious than the ordinary Soul Bone. Lu Shiyuan can only temporarily deprive Ning Rongrong of its right to fight.
I hope this matter will not become a problem for the little girl.
