Chapter 25 Counterattack!

With six two- to three-thousand-year-old soul beasts by his side, Cheng Xiao was quite confident and had no fear of breaking into the Star Dou Forest alone.

Although the strength of these six soul beasts has been weakened after turning into shadows, no matter how they are weakened, they are still at the level of two thousand years.

Under Cheng Xiao's order, the six shadow beasts cooperated with each other, and they were immortal. With Cheng Xiao's small amount of soul power, they could be resurrected indefinitely, and could easily consume a nearly three thousand year old soul beast to death. .

Therefore, Cheng Xiao's shadow army killed three three-thousand-year-old soul beasts in just one day.

With nine soul beasts, Cheng Xiao's confidence once again swelled. At this rate, it wouldn't take long for Cheng Xiao to gather fifteen shadow soul beasts to form a shadow soul beast group.

The more soul beasts are killed, the larger Cheng Xiao's shadow army becomes, and the faster and easier it is to surround and kill other soul beasts. The snowball effect is so scary!

Because the speed was much faster than expected, Cheng Xiao was unwilling to hunt down several spirit beasts that were more than three thousand years old again, but without exception, he was unable to summon their shadows.

After many experiments, Cheng Xiao was sure of one thing, there was a limit to the summoning of shadows!

He cannot use all the power of shadow, which means that his "king" authority is not enough. When the strength is insufficient, the soul beast's undead may resist his orders. A powerful undead will not surrender to a weak one. .

And the limit of shadow summoning is very likely related to the number of years his soul ring can be absorbed!

He had carefully calculated that before the liberation of the martial spirit, his absorption period was probably around a thousand years. Because of the three complete pieces of thousand-year-old whale glue, it was increased to about 2,500 years.

The upper limit of soul ring absorption is determined by the quality of the martial soul, physical fitness, and mental strength. After the martial soul was liberated, he finally became a true twin martial soul. To a certain extent, it was a kind of martial soul evolution, which would definitely increase the upper limit of soul ring absorption to a certain extent.

As for how much it will improve, it's hard to say. Cheng Xiao didn't dare to improve rashly without trying again.

But now it is discovered that shadow summoning also has an upper limit. Intuitively, Cheng Xiao believes that it should not exceed the upper limit of shadow summoning.

"Hey, this is easy. Before absorbing the soul ring in the future, summon the shadow first. If you can't summon it, don't absorb it."

Cheng Xiao suddenly discovered that he no longer had to work so hard to calculate the upper limit of his soul ring absorption. You will know if it works or not after trying it.

"Is this a bug?" Under the red light of the bonfire, Cheng Xiao looked a little strange.

Shaking his head and getting rid of distracting thoughts, Cheng Xiao expanded the shadow realm and then released thirteen soul beast shadows.

Thirteen soul beasts of different sizes surrounded Cheng Xiao, slowly lowering their bodies to show respect.

"You guys help me stay on guard!"

The thirteen soul beasts looked at each other and whispered in low voices.

Anyway, Cheng Xiao couldn't understand what they were saying. Maybe soul beasts also have the language between soul beasts...

After turning into shadows, their strength was reduced, but their IQ was raised a lot, but unfortunately they still could not reach the level of speaking.

After a "dispute", the eight spirit beasts were squeezed out and dived into the shadows in eight directions, while the remaining five took a nap around the tent and campfire. This operation made Cheng Xiao's mouth twitch.

Cheng Xiao got into a simple tent and prepared to take a nap. He would hunt the remaining two soul beasts and return to Notting City tomorrow.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Cheng Xiao raised his eyebrows and noticed a slight movement.

In his perception, a shadow quietly sneaked into his domain and wandered around the edge of the domain.

And that shadow was not a strange soul beast, but one of the seven people who helped him hunt the soul beast before!

"Interesting, I'll give you a big gift tomorrow!" Cheng Xiao grinned with a joking smile.

——

The next day, deep in the Star Dou Forest.

Dai Chong and the other six followed the mark left by the third child and finally caught up.

"Third brother, how are you?" Dai Chong asked.

"Follow me, I'm not lost. That boy is indeed weird!" The third child looked a little excited: "I followed you all the way, and that boy was able to kill three thousand soul beasts by himself, and he even killed a lot of them! With this ability, he can also Why do we need to hire figurines?"

"I'm telling you! That kid must have a secret skill!" Lao Liu was overjoyed.

"But, he has such strength, can we take him down?" Someone raised concerns.

"He has been hunting soul beasts for three thousand years. It seems that he can only hunt for three thousand years, which means that his strength is not as strong as imagined!" Lao Liu explained: "And the seven of us are soul sects, and he is just one person. He is still a child! As long as we lay a trap, he is definitely no match for us!"

It is impossible to have an accident if you calculate mentally but not intentionally. Unless that kid is the Soul Emperor!

But then again, the Soul Emperor is enough to rival a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. An eleven-year-old Soul Emperor? He has not been practicing so fast since he was born.

Dai Chong pondered for a while, nodded, and said: "In that case, let's discuss how to set up a trap..."

"Hey! Everyone, are you chatting?"

Suddenly, a childish voice suddenly sounded, as if a cold air invaded several people's bodies from behind. The seven people felt that the hairs all over their bodies stood up in fright. They suddenly turned their heads and saw a young boy standing there. A giant tree looked at them with a joking expression.

The person was so frightening that Lao Liu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and so did several other people. They were suddenly caught by the person involved when they had something to do, and this kind of psychological stimulation almost made them roll their eyes.

Only Dai Chong showed some composure and showed a slightly embarrassed smile: "Ha, ha, ha, it's my little brother. What a coincidence. Why did you come to the Star Dou Forest alone? How dangerous it is."

"Yes, it is quite dangerous. If you don't pay attention, you will be ambushed and killed." Cheng Xiao said quietly: "By the way, tell me the trap you just mentioned."

"What, what kind of trap? Brother, are you listening?" Dai Chong's voice was slightly trembling.

But then I thought about it, that's not right, the person opposite was just a child. Even if the seven soul sects on my side didn't set a trap, couldn't they take him down at the cost of getting hurt?

What are you afraid of here?

With his thoughts clear, Dai Chong calmed down again, and his expression gradually turned towards a ferocious one. He hid his hand behind his back and gestured to the other six people. The six people understood this and began to move with expressionless faces, hoping to form an encirclement and capture Cheng Xiao directly.

"Oh, maybe!"

Cheng Xiao seemed not to notice their actions, and said with a smile: "I haven't been able to thank you before. This meeting is just perfect, and I have prepared a big gift for you."

"Big gift?" Dai Chong's expression froze, a little confused.

"That's right!" Cheng Xiao grinned, showing his sharp white teeth: "A gift package of life and death! Whether you live or die depends on your fate!"

"Roar!"

Suddenly, three terrifying soul beasts roared into the sky, and the earth shook. Three behemoths were seen knocking down trees. Under the provocation of several shadow soul beasts, they angrily broke into the location of several people!

The expressions of the seven people changed drastically, they turned out to be five-thousand-year-old soul beasts!

"Enjoy it, everyone! You're welcome!"
