Chapter 23 Becoming suspicious

Dai Chong suddenly rushed out and led the six people in the direction of Cheng Xiao, breaking through countless bushes along the way.

When the seven people came to where Cheng Xiao was with solemn expressions and looked at the thin figure, they immediately stopped.

"Are you here? I'm done and ready to go."

Cheng Xiao turned around calmly, but there was nothing strange about him. The body of the tiger demon cat lay beside him, and the shadow of the tiger demon cat had long since disappeared.

"Huh? Where's the soul beast?" Lao Liu was confused. They just heard the roar of a soul beast coming from here.

"Where did this soul beast come from?" Cheng Xiao looked confused, with no flaws on his face.

"We just heard the roar of a tiger demon cat. We thought you were in danger, so we rushed over. Didn't you hear?" Dai Chong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Cheng Xiao for a long time. For some reason, he felt Cheng Xiao has undergone some changes compared to before.

He couldn't tell exactly, but he always felt that the thin figure was more profound, making him feel some kind of vague pressure.

That feeling is very strange. It is not the oppressive feeling of soul power exuded by the powerful Soul Saint Soul Douluo, but like a kind of suppression in momentum. It looks weak, but it has a feeling that is like a light on the back. The gloomy feeling, faint, always lingers in my heart.

But when I think about it carefully, it's impossible. This kid is only eleven years old. How could he, a Soul Sect, feel this way?

"I heard it, it seemed to be coming from over there." Cheng Xiao pointed in the opposite direction from when Dai Chong came.

Dai Chong raised his head, followed the direction pointed by Cheng Xiao, glanced at Cheng Xiao's figure, and looked into the distance.

"Let's go, maybe this is the spouse of this tiger demon cat. Leave quickly." Unable to figure out the changes that had happened to Cheng Xiao, Dai Chong shook his head and said.

"Well, let's go." Cheng Xiao nodded and walked into the middle of the seven people.

Under the escort of seven people, Cheng Xiao left this place, leaving only the corpse of a tiger demon cat. A purple soul ring above the corpse seemed to have lost its brightness, beating dimly.

No one noticed that the shadow under Cheng Xiao's feet was thicker than before.

Suddenly, a pair of fierce cat eyes slowly opened in the shadow at Cheng Xiao's feet.

"Be at peace, little one..."

Sensing the change in the shadow under his feet, Cheng Xiao smiled softly at the corner of his mouth and comforted it in his heart. Then the cat eyes slowly closed and the shadow returned to calm.

"Damn it!****..."

Looking at the three-eyed giant ape in front of him, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but curse a few words secretly.

This was the fifth soul beast they had hunted. The first four were all successfully summoned by him and became members of the Shadow Army.

Only this fifth one actually resisted Cheng Xiao's summons three times, and finally fell short.

"It seems that I am still too weak to summon a more powerful shadow." Cheng Xiao secretly regretted it.

The three-eyed giant ape in front of him has reached 3,200 years of age and is extremely outstanding in the spiritual system. If he can become his shadow soldier, it will definitely make up for the legion's shortcomings in the control system.

"Oh, if I had known earlier, it would have been limited to less than three thousand years." Cheng Xiao sighed: "The human heart is so weak that snakes swallow elephants..."

Because of greed, Cheng Xiao kept increasing the price after obtaining the first soul beast shadow. The second one was 2,700 years old, the third one was 2,900 years old, and the fourth one was even 3,000 years old!

Although there were some twists and turns in the process, under three orders, the three soul beast shadows were summoned by him without any danger.

Therefore, this time he once again set his sights on the 3,200-year-old three-eyed giant ape.

However, this time he was completely defeated.

Perhaps the three-eyed giant ape is too old, or maybe the three-eyed giant ape is a spiritual soul beast, and its mental power is stronger and its resistance is naturally higher. Or perhaps both.

Anyway, Cheng Xiao failed to summon his shadow.

For a moment, Cheng Xiao was in a bad mood and wanted to cut the three-eyed giant ape into pieces.

After sighing, Cheng Xiao turned around and left, walking towards the direction of the Soul Sect team.

"Brother, do you think this kid is really collecting information on soul beasts? Why do I feel something is wrong?" Lao Liu approached Dai Chong and whispered.

Dai Chong glanced at Lao Liu, withdrew his gaze, and still looked around calmly: "What should I say?"

"Every time it ends, I find that there aren't any extra scars on the soul beast. It doesn't look like much. And..."

Lao Liu paused for a moment, and a trace of doubt appeared on his stiff face: "I feel that kid...hiss...I don't know how to describe it, the feeling is like...he is getting stronger and stronger. The last time I ended my first encounter with him When they looked at each other, I was almost frightened back two steps."

Dai Chong's expression moved slightly, he also felt this way, but this feeling came out of nowhere, making him confused and thought it was his own illusion.

But now, Lao Liu's words cheered him up. It seemed that he was not the only one to discover the problem, so it must not be an illusion. There must have been some changes in that kid that they didn't know about.

"If you work honestly, you can make a lot of money from this deal." Dai Chong thought for a while, looked at the other five people, shook his head and said, "Don't think too much about the employer, and don't mess up the order."

Dai Chong didn't want to cause trouble. The remuneration he could get from this order was quite a lot, and it could be said to be the most generous employer among all the entrustments he had received.

However, Lao Liu didn't want to skip it so simply. Instead, he lowered his voice and said in Dai Chong's ear: "Boss, do you think this kid has mastered some secret method to quickly increase his strength?"

Dai Chong suddenly turned his head, and his eyes collided with Lao Liu's eyes. Lao Liu's eyes flashed with greed and excitement, which made Dai Chong's heart beat hard.

Dai Chong swallowed his dry throat and looked away: "It's unlikely... That kind of secret method is not something that a small town businessman can possess."

In this continent, anything with the word "secret method" is extremely valuable. Any major sect will regard it as a treasure and will not spread it to others. For example, Haotian Sect's ring explosion, Qibao Glazed Tile Sect's distraction control, etc.

If these secret techniques were thrown out, they would be enough to make civilian soul masters on the mainland lose their minds.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like what an ordinary businessman family can possess.

"Boss, don't even think about it. It's just a collection of spirit beast specimens. Is there anything worth hiding? You won't let us see it. It's obvious that there is a secret!" Lao Liu became more and more excited as he talked: "I'm 100% sure that this kid's hand You must have something good in your hands, even if it can’t increase your soul power, it must be good if it can scare me away!”

Dai Chong's breathing was stagnant, his eyes began to flicker, and he seemed to be a little moved.

"Brother, otherwise we..."

Lao Liu's thumb scratched in front of his throat, and a fierce look appeared on his ferocious cheek covered with scars.
