Chapter 12 The Soul Hunt Begins: Things to Note

In a small city like Notting City, the main responsibility of the Wuhun Palace is to help the people in the city awaken their Wuhun, and to form a team with the patrol team of the City Lord's Mansion to patrol together to prevent soul masters from fighting on the streets.

As the master of the branch hall, Matthew Nuo usually only needs to organize documents, record the soul master level, and distribute gold soul coins, which is relatively leisurely.

Not to mention Su Yuntao, apart from being busy for a month every year helping various villages awaken their martial spirits, the rest of the time is spent patrolling with the patrol team.

Do it for half a month, rest for half a month.

I have to say that Wuhundian’s work is pretty good.

Both of them were free, so they naturally planned to go soul hunting with Tang San to pass the rest time.

In addition, Sisi also followed.

It wasn't that she was on vacation, but her cultivation had reached level 20, and she happened to need a spirit ring, so she asked for leave. She heard that Tang San was also going to hunt spirit beasts, so she planned to join him.

Mathieu Nuo took Tang San onto the carriage, while Su Yuntao and Sisi took turns driving the carriage.

The Soul Hunting Forest is not far from Notting City, but it takes most of a day, and two people need to take turns to take over to ensure physical strength.

"Xiao Tang, I want to tell you that in the future, when choosing teammates for soul hunting, you must choose a reliable soul hunting team. For example, it is best not to choose those teams that are relatively famous and unknown; also, different The environment of the Soul Hunting Forest is different, and the soul beasts are also different. You must talk more with the locals. Some specific medicines and soul hunting equipment are only available in the outer towns of the Soul Hunting Forest with corresponding environments." Matthew Nuo was very fond of Tang San, so he explained various precautions for hunting souls.

Although Tang San had memorized these by heart when he was reading, he still listened carefully to Matthew Nuo's instructions.

On this Douluo Continent, there are many soul-hunting forests, not just the ones that appear in the original work.

The four most famous soul hunting forests are the Star Forest, the Sunset Forest, the Storm Canyon, and the Devil's Grand Canyon. The other soul hunting sites with soul beasts are either smaller in scope, have a few soul beasts in number, or are still there. The specific general scope has not been explored by human soul masters.

For example: the far north.

This place has not been fully explored and we don’t know how big it is.

To be honest, this is a real world. Soul beasts have different attributes, some can breathe fire, and some can control ice. They must live in an environment that makes them feel comfortable.

The natural environment and the types of creatures influence each other. Soul beasts are also a kind of creatures, but they only have extraordinary power.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, fire-attributed soul beasts would not appear in the far north. Similarly, water-attributed soul beasts would not appear in those blazing desert areas.

In addition to these wild soul hunting forests, there are also soul hunting forests jointly controlled by the two empires and Wuhun Palace.

It is rumored that this part of the Soul Hunting Forest was once a wild soul beast forest, no less than the Sunset Forest. However, with the development of humans, the felling of trees and the opening of roads, the area has become smaller and smaller, and the powerful soul beasts in it have also migrated. Arriving at Xingdou, Sunset, or other gathering places where soul beasts are suitable for survival.

Nowadays, in such a soul hunting forest, ten-year and century-old soul beasts can be seen everywhere, but thousand-year soul beasts are extremely rare.

The reason?

In addition to the slow improvement of the soul beast's cultivation level, more importantly, Wuhun Palace will send people in every three to five years to inspect, capture or even kill the thousand-year soul beast to prevent it from escaping the forest and attacking nearby villages. Or destroy farmland.

However, when it comes to thousand-year-level plant soul beasts, Wuhun Palace will be more relaxed. After all, most plant soul beasts have not reached the ten-thousand-year level and cannot move.

As for the thousand-year-old animal soul beasts, if they can capture them, they will capture them as much as possible. After all, Wuhun Palace has also realized that the number of soul beasts is decreasing.

If one day the soul beasts become extinct, soul masters will no longer be able to practice, and this profession will no longer be so noble.

Unfortunately, no one has been able to find such a way yet, and no one even thinks about it at all. They just instinctively realize that soul beasts cherish resources.

Half a day later, the carriage arrived at the Soul Hunting Forest.

This forest is called Notting Forest.

Notting City can have a junior college because there is such a soul hunting forest not far from Notting City. If there is no soul beast forest, there will be no city nearby.

It can be said that all the major forces on the Douluo Continent are established based on forests rich in soul beast resources. After all, most soul masters do not like the cosmopolitan adventure.

Outside Notting Forest, there is a small town that is quite prosperous and lively, comparable to when Notting City holds a rally.

Most of the residents here are soul masters, but the highest is no more than a second-level soul master. There are also a lot of ordinary people, but there are more strong and strong ones. Three or two together are comparable to a first-level soul master. .

If the soul master is from the auxiliary, healing, or food systems, and has no hiding methods, such an ordinary man can even fight one on one.

According to Matthew Nuo, there are also a lot of soul masters and great soul masters who die at the hands of ordinary people. There are hundreds every year. One year, the number was even close to a thousand.

However, when a soul master's soul power reaches level 30 and he becomes a soul master, the number of soul masters who die at the hands of ordinary people plummets. In the past ten years, on average, there are only about three a year.

This is normal. When you are a soul master or a great soul master, your soul power is still low. If you use soul skills once, twice, or eight or nine times, your soul power will be exhausted. When the time comes, ordinary people with strong bodies will besiege them, and they may not be unable to defeat them.

After reaching the soul master level, the quality and quantity of the soul power have increased, and the body has begun to receive the benefits of soul power nourishment. It gradually strengthens and it becomes difficult for ordinary people to kill the soul master, unless they use a pile of human lives.

"Xiao San, what do you think of this place? It's your first time here, are you a little uncomfortable?" Su Yuntao asked.

"I'm really not used to this kind of excitement, but it's really prosperous here. Soul beasts are the biggest resource in the world." Tang San sighed, "Most of the soul masters here live in the Soul Hunting Forest, and the nearby villages , the city was slowly built because of the prosperity here."

"This is the truth. Although places without soul beasts are very safe, places without soul hunting forests must be very backward. There are no big cities and no soul master academies. Although Wuhun Palace will send people to those places to help awaken martial arts. Soul, but those talented children who are unwilling to go to Wuhun Hall basically cannot go to the Junior Soul Master Academy." Matthew Nuo said, seeming to recall the past memories, and also sighing.

Tang San nodded.

In the past life of the earth, in peaceful times, there were still impoverished mountainous areas. Most of the children there could only stay in the mountainous areas for the rest of their lives and could not go to school.

Not to mention Douluo Continent, there will only be more impoverished areas. I don’t know how many children who have cultivation talents but low talents (one or two levels of innate soul power) cannot become souls because they cannot get out of the mountains. A teacher cannot change his own destiny.

It’s not that they are not allowed to go to school, it’s that they don’t have the conditions to leave their impoverished hometowns.

For children with only one or two levels of innate soul power, the soul masters sent by Wuhun Palace to awaken their souls will usually not invite them if they are not related by blood. They will only issue a certificate to let them have Opportunity to attend junior college.

The Spirit Hall welcomes all soul masters, but at the very least it must be a soul master.

No matter what happens, if the innate soul power is higher, there is a third level, and there is a hope of becoming a soul master, but he can be specially recruited, and he can make a living in the local soul hall in the future.

To train children with innate first- and second-level soul power, it is better to find strong ordinary people without soul power. After a little training, equipped with weapons and armor, their role on the battlefield is not as good as that of a soul master. Small.

At least these ordinary people accepted their fate and were definitely more obedient than those who aspired to become soul masters but only had one or two levels of talent.

"Also, if you go to a big city in the future, the probability of meeting a spirit master will be higher." Matthew Nuo changed the subject and continued, describing to Tang San where he would go in the future... ·

Although I want to deny it, it is true that birds of a feather flock together and people flock together.

In a small village like Holy Soul Village, ordinary people can only see the soul masters sent by the Wuhun Palace to help awaken their martial souls every year when the children in the village awaken their martial souls.

And with his innate soul power, he entered the world of soul masters. He could see soul masters every day: Matthew Nuo, Su Yuntao, Si Si, and various teachers, directors, and deans of Noting College... Uh. , Dean is not common.

Afterwards, the four of them purchased some anti-mosquito powder and entered the Soul Hunting Forest.

The guarding knight was from Wuhun Palace, and was also a subordinate of Matthew Nuo. Naturally, he did not dare to ask for a warrant from him and let him go directly.

Privilege is everywhere as long as it is within the system.

"What soul beast are you going to choose for the second soul ring, Sister Sisi?" Tang San walked on the ground of the Soul Hunting Forest and found that there were not many dead branches and leaves on the ground, so he asked about Sisi's choice of soul ring.

As Su Yuntao's girlfriend, designing a soul ring for her can be regarded as repaying Su Yuntao's "favor of knowing someone".

Furthermore, he also received a lot of help from the Wuhun Palace. Sisi was also from the Wuhun Palace, so there was no problem in helping each other.

"Yes, Sisi, tell me your choice and let the mistress see if it suits you? If it doesn't suit, just change it. He is very smart." Su Yuntao agreed, and then used himself as an example, "Just For example, my second soul skill allows me to compete with great soul masters approaching level 30."

Sisi was a little moved, and finally decided to believe Tang San, and said: "Xiao San, my martial spirit is a ribbon, which has no offensive ability. For my first spirit skill, I choose a mandala snake that is close to ninety years old, so that my martial spirit can With the ability to entangle, and even some toxins, it can paralyze the enemy. According to this idea, my second soul ring, I want to make the entanglement range wider, find a soul that can lengthen my ribbon, or make the ribbon split. Beast...what do you think of my idea?"

Tangled?

Tang San couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

I thought that if I didn’t become a disciple of Yu Xiaogang, I would stay away from Datura Snake, but I didn’t expect to “meet” him again in this way. I have to say, it’s really fate.

This is why Tang San didn't ask about Sisi's soul skills when he was reading in Wuhun Hall, otherwise he wouldn't be so surprised.

"Sister Sisi, the spirit ring of that ninety-year-old mandala snake not only gives you a winding spirit skill, but also adds toughness to your martial spirit, right?" Tang San asked.

"Indeed, my ribbon martial spirit was originally very brittle and would break when pulled, but after adding the Mandala Snake's spirit ring, it has gained a lot of toughness." Sisi nodded, "But the most important thing is , it’s better to use the soul skill of entanglement.”

"Sister Sisi, what I say next may sound a bit unpleasant. Isn't it a bit of a waste to exchange a soul ring position for an entangled soul skill?"

In order to make his statement more convincing, Tang San continued, "An ordinary person can lasso others by practicing with a rope for several years."

"The Ribbon Spirit can indeed be used to bind and entangle, but the most important thing about the first spirit ring should be to enhance the advantages of the ribbon, rather than rush to the entanglement spirit skill."

"Although Wuhun is not a real thing, it is similar to real things. Excuse me, Sister Sisi, what are the characteristics of the ribbon?"

Sisi thought for a while and said: "Qing, Rou."

"That's right, it means gentleness. Let me ask you another question. If a ribbon is suspended in the air and you slash it with a sword, what will happen?" Tang San confirmed these two characteristics of the ribbon and continued to ask.

"Cut the ribbon in two?" Sisi was a little unsure, after all, she had never seen that scene.

"Maybe the question I asked didn't provide prerequisites. The person wielding the sword is an ordinary person. The sword is not a martial spirit, let alone a magic weapon. It is just the most ordinary weapon."
