Chapter 176 White Cloud Forest, Bloody Cloud Tree
After introducing the situation of the White Cloud Forest, Norax talked about the situation of the Fallen again, saying: "According to the information we have found so far, one of the Fallen has broken through and become the Soul King. His identity is Blood Sword Nuo. Man, first appeared at Notting College in Fasnoxing Province..."
"In the past few years, that bastard has massacred many remote villages. His behavior is extremely bad and his crime cannot be forgiven."
Speaking of this, Norax paused for a while, glanced at the three people in the Wuhun Hall, and saw the local Wuhun Hall's master shaking his head at him, sighed, and continued: "That Blood Sword Norman, There is also a 10,000-year-old right leg bone, which was obtained from a wolf bandit... When he brought his people to the vicinity of Baiyun Plain, he encountered a group of wolf bandits who had fled to the area."
"It was the fight between them that caught our attention."
"Originally, there were nearly a hundred people in Blood Sword Norman's fallen team."
Wolf thieves are a species between humans and spirit beasts. Rumor has it that they are a species born from the rape of female humans by wolf spirit beasts.
Although there are human elements, the wolf nature is bloodthirsty, which leads to the fact that the wolf thief's intelligence is obviously not weaker than that of humans, but he is always dominated by the wolf nature and takes pleasure in killing.
Moreover, wolf thieves are only male and cannot reproduce independently. They can only rely on human females to reproduce... This aspect is somewhat similar to the goblin setting in the Western fantasy works that Tang San saw in his previous life.
"Wolf thief? Thousand-year-old soul bone? Tsk!" Yan glanced at Norax and sneered, "It seems that you were thinking of killing the fallen one yourself and leaving the soul bone behind, but you couldn't solve it. Report it to the police?"
Norax and the local Wuhun Palace Master looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
Obviously, Yan guessed correctly.
However, this also made everyone aware of Yan's wildness, arrogance, coarseness and fineness, and——
No emotional intelligence.
Even though he is a member of the golden generation of Wuhun Palace, with strength, status, and status, and he has the qualifications, after all, Norax is the city lord of Baiyun City and belongs to Tiandou, and Wuhun Palace is not qualified to manage it.
If Yan only said this to the master of the Wuhun Branch Hall in Baiyun City, it could be said to be reprimanding his subordinates.
But facing Norax, it was a bit out of line.
Although Norlax was angry, he didn't say anything. After all, he and the local branch master of Wuhun Temple concealed and reported the incident for their own selfish desires, which resulted in more casualties. It was indeed his fault.
but!
He actually believed that it was only a matter of time before he cleared out Blood Sword Norman and others. The soul bone must be his, but his plan could not keep up with the changes——
The soul master team hunting for souls in the Baiyun Plain met the Blood Sword Norman and saw him using the soul bone skill...
After this incident spread, naturally it couldn't be concealed.
It can be said that in addition to the three major forces sending outstanding team members to practice, there are also many soul master teams coming here, hoping to pick up the slack.
Soul bones are a priceless treasure!
What's more, there is a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone in the blood sword Norman!
After understanding the situation of Baiyun Plain, Baiyun Forest, Blood Sword Norman and others, the teams of the three major forces put on their equipment, took tools and medicines, and headed towards Baiyun Forest.
However, the three major forces act separately.
"I will watch you from a distance and will not participate in any specific actions. After all, this is your experience." Qin Ming sent the students of the Tiandou Royal Team a short distance away, then stopped and said to Tang San and others.
After saying that, he turned his head again and looked at the members of the Tiandou Royal Team 2, and said: "As for you, just stay on the outskirts of the Baiyun Plain and wander around. As long as you don't take off your boots, you won't put them down." If medicines are thrown around, there won't be any big problem, there are only hundred-year-level soul beasts in the periphery."
To be honest, Qin Ming thought that the Second Tiandou Royal Team just came here to collect some money and pay some money, so they could just stay in Baiyun City. Unexpectedly, they also followed them to Baiyun Plain.
This is really a drag.
Fortunately, Xue Beng still had self-awareness. With his status as a prince, he stabilized the members of Tiandou Royal Team 2 and allowed them to accompany him to wander around the outer area.
"Teacher Qin Ming, I can temporarily cooperate with the members of the first team." Wang Chen gritted his teeth and decided to join the first team.
The plot of Douluo has gone viral.
But one thing he was sure of was that Tang San must have great luck.
This hunt for the fallen was probably Tang San's chance to obtain that ten thousand year soul bone. He couldn't just watch Tang San become stronger again, he had to fight for it.
Wang Chen didn't know who Blood Sword Norman was, but he had a hunch that the soul bone obtained from the wolf thief was the soul bone with the "bloodthirsty madness" skill in the original work.
As a time traveler, for soul bones, he initially thought that he would have to live for 100,000 years, but later he discovered that soul bones were really rare.
Even the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family did not absorb soul bones all over his body.
He has no power, so wanting a soul bone is nothing more than wishful thinking.
And now there is such an opportunity.
How could he give up?
"Life is not a child's play." As if he understood Wang Chen's thoughts, Tang San reminded him faintly.
"Wang Chen, you stay here to protect Xue Beng and the others." Qin Ming couldn't understand what Tang San was saying, but he felt that with Wang Chen here, Xue Beng and the others would be safer.
"Yes." Wang Chen lowered his head, his eyes flickering, but he could not disobey Qin Ming's order and could only agree, but he had other thoughts in his heart...
···
Outside the Baiyun Forest.
Tang San and others stopped and looked at the large area of cloud trees, clusters and clusters, like white clouds overlapping in the sky. It was really spectacular.
Huo Wu sighed: "It's really a beautiful tree. The leaves are like white clouds in the sky."
Tang San pulled off a branch, pinched it, and thought to himself: "It looks very similar to a certain fringed tree, but the difference is that these are leaves, not flowers."
In his previous life, Tang San had seen tassels blooming, and the pruned tassel tree could be described as: April in the world is full of fragrance and snow.
The cloud tree in Douluo Continent has fine leaves clustered together to form a cloud-like shape.
When everyone walked into the Baiyun Forest, they could see the "white clouds" when they looked up. Unlike ordinary forests, these leaves could transmit and diffuse light, making the light in the forest very soft.
Moreover, this forest is filled with a peculiar aroma. There is no rotten, fermented and unpleasant smell of dead branches, dead leaves, insect corpses, animal feces, etc. that should be found in ordinary forests.
The ground is also covered with white cloud leaves.
When you pull it open, it will appear black underneath, with a slightly moist earthy smell. If you pull it open again, you can see the earthworms, insects and the like underneath.
It turned out that these fallen cloud leaves blocked the smell of earth and decay on the ground.
"A very interesting plant spirit beast." Tang San collected some branches, leaves and sap of the cloud tree, and after returning home, prepared to conduct in-depth research on whether this plant spirit beast could be used as a candidate for his sixth spirit ring in the future.
After all, the introduction to the Cloud Tree in the "Encyclopedia of Soul Beasts" is very brief: The branches of the Cloud Tree are lush and leafy, just like the clouds in the sky, and the crown of cloud leaves can be used by bird soul beasts to build nests (Note: Even the soul masters of plant martial souls, It is also not recommended to absorb this kind of soul ring.)
With just this sentence, Tang San couldn't judge anything at all.
After all, the leaves of the cloud tree are not really white clouds, they just look like them.
Moreover, there are very few cases of soul masters who have obtained Yunshu soul rings, and because different martial souls have different soul skills——
First, the martial soul is Dandelion, and Yunshu's soul ring brings a soul skill called "water absorption". It does not absorb water from the roots, but uses the fluff on the dandelion seeds to absorb rainwater and store it.
This should be inherited from the cloud tree's ability to collect rainwater with its cloud leaves.
Secondly, the martial soul is a cloud bird. The soul master felt that the leaves of the cloud tree were light and should increase the lightness of his own martial soul, so he absorbed the cloud tree soul ring.
This soul master used animal martial souls to absorb the soul rings of plant martial souls and personally experimented with it, three hundred years earlier than Yu Xiaogang proposed that plant martial souls could absorb animal soul rings.
According to records, after this soul master absorbed the Yun Shu soul ring, it did not enhance the lightness of Yun Niao's martial spirit. However, the repulsion between Yun Shu's soul ring and Yun Niao was also very small, but the soul skill was very useless, called: Luo Yu .
It can make Yunniao's feathers fall down. It has no attack power, no defense power, and no auxiliary ability.
However, those fallen cloud bird feathers are no longer the condensed soul power, but have become real cloud bird feathers that can be weaved and transformed by people.
But Tang San saw "turning the void into reality", that is, turning the martial soul, a part of the extraordinary organ between energy and matter, into real matter.
In the books in the Tiandou Royal Academy and the Tiandou City Spirit Hall, there are only two records about the soul masters who absorbed the Yunshu soul ring.
Other unrecorded soul masters may also exist. It may be because the effects of soul skills are "tasteless", so the "Soul Beast Encyclopedia" directly states the words "not suitable for absorption".
Although there were not too many cases, Tang San felt that if the Yunniao Spirit Master's "Falling Feather" spirit skill was not wrongly recorded, then Yunshu could bring him unexpected benefits to the Blue Silver Emperor.
Of course, at present, Tang San is still unable to determine whether Yunshu's essential ability is to turn the void into reality.
"Captain, what are you knocking on the cloud tree?" Yufeng was a little curious when he saw Tang San knocking on the trunk of the cloud tree while collecting branches, leaves and resin, "What functions does this cloud tree have that we don't know about?" ?"
"The main thing is to collect some samples to see if this plant spirit beast can become my sixth spirit ring." Tang San said, "Secondly, knocking on the trees to make a sound and spread it, maybe we can get what we are looking for. The fallen are attracted.”
No one knew much about Yunshu, but when it came to attracting the fallen, they did have some ideas.
"Most of the fallen are bloodthirsty. Why don't we pretend to be a weak soul hunting group?" Huo Wu suggested, "The best hunting is to pretend to be prey."
"What do I think? There are too many of us, and the fallen will not swarm and be fooled." Yu Tianheng continued, "We should spread out more."
Did you come from a horror film set?
Tang San glanced at Yu Tianheng with a strange look on his face, complained secretly, and then said: "We are not familiar with this place. It is taboo to be separated. It is easy to be defeated one by one."
"Next, follow my arrangements."
Tang San put aside the idea of studying Yunshu for the time being and began to arrange the queue:
Yufeng and Bai Chenxiang can fly and explore in the air; Xiaowu and Zhu Zhuqing are fast and explore on the left and right, and Oslo is responsible for the rear; the brothers Shimo and Shimo are physical defense system soul masters, guarding the amplified auxiliary system Ning Rong Rong, Ye Lingling from the therapeutic auxiliary department, and Yu Tianheng were in front to open the way; Dugu Yan was behind Yu Tianheng, just in case.
Guang Ling and Huo Wu, the two long-range attack-type soul masters, were located behind Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, always ready to unleash firepower on the enemy.
Tang San, on the other hand, stood in front of the two auxiliary systems and behind Dugu Yan, using Endless Grassland to conduct underground exploration and prevent the Fallen from setting traps on the ground.
Lan Yinzi was on standby, always ready to assist Tang San.
This was also the first time Tang San used Endless Grassland after obtaining the fifth spirit ring. He could keenly sense every Blue Silver Emperor leaf, and the Bluesilver Grass growing in this forest seemed to be the same as his Endless Grassland. Connected, telling him everything going on here.
"With the blood of the Blue Silver Emperor, my mental power can already accurately control each Blue Silver Emperor, and I can also sense the fluctuations transmitted by the Blue Silver Grass. Even my mental power can be transmitted to those Blue Silver Grass Go up and achieve energy manifestation similar to that of the Ice and Fire Eyes."
After Tang San sensed what he could do, he was excited and thought to himself: "It just consumes a lot of my mental power, but this ability can be expected in the future!"
Just imagine, if I could use any Bluesilver Grass to appear in the future, wouldn't I be able to go anywhere in the vast Douluo Continent?
At that time, every Blue Silver Emperor and Blue Silver Grass will be a base station for transmitting his own messages!
But for now, Tang San's mental power cannot cover the entire Douluo Continent, and every time he appears, he consumes a lot of mental power.
"Blue Silver Grass can sense each other. My martial spirit is the Blue Silver Emperor who was influenced by the Golden Ancient Tree. In the future, if I control the power of life, I will be able to control all plants."
"However, at present, we still need to rely on Bluesilver Grass as the foundation to be able to manifest the transmission of mental power..."
"Then, can I combine the fluctuations of the Bluesilver Grass that I can sense to form a network-like form? As long as the Bluesilver Grass can connect independently, maybe even if my mental power is not up to standard, I can be anywhere on the continent. A place with blue silver grass carries out spiritual manifestation and condenses an existence similar to the missing body."
"After all, I have Douluo Continent, or in other words, Douluo Star, an external energy source that provides the power of the earth, and the consumption of soul power is negligible."
"You can try in the future -"
At this moment, Tang San sensed the fluctuations transmitted by the Blue Silver Grass, and "saw" a cloud tree that was more than a hundred meters high, with a width of more than twenty meters, and a cloud-like crown on it, nine in total. , showing an irregular pyramid shape. The topmost cloud crown is ten meters in diameter, while the bottom cloud crown is more than eighty meters in diameter.
Quite spectacular.
However, Tang San also "saw" through the fluctuations of the Bluesilver Grass that eleven thousand-year-old spirit beasts were lying in a pool of blood under the cloud tree. In addition, there were more than twenty corpses.
Among them, there was a white-haired middle-aged man standing in front of the cloud tree, with a blood-colored dagger floating in his hand. There seemed to be a dragon pattern on it, but it was very blurry, as if it had interfered with Tang San's mental power.
"Go northeast!" Tang San said, his eyes focused, "I have sensed the location of the Blood Sword Norman through the Endless Grassland. He has killed eleven thousand-year-old soul beasts in the White Cloud Forest, and he has also We have killed all the other fallen ones, and they are currently on the edge of the Ten Thousand Years Cloud Tree."
Everyone did not dare to neglect and speeded up.
As we approached the center of the Baiyun Forest, the number of soul beasts we saw along the way also increased, but because of the powerful fluctuations in their soul power, they did not dare to approach.
However, the expressions of Tang San and others also became heavy.
Because along the way, they saw the corpses of many soul hunters. Their whole bodies were shriveled, their blood had been absorbed cleanly, and not a drop was left. Their faces were all distorted, as if they had seen some horrific scene.
"Degenerate, you deserve to die!" Huo Wu scolded, "This kind of guy who does whatever it takes for power is no longer a human being."
With a heavy heart, Tang San and others spent twenty minutes crossing most of the forest and arrived at the center of the Baiyun Forest.
The cloud tree, which was as tall as nine levels in the sky, stood in front of them.
Under the cloud tree, the corpses of the eleven thousand-year-old soul beasts were shriveling up. Blood and soul power continued to pour into the cloud tree, causing its white cloud crown to become blood-red.
If Tang San relied on the message transmitted by the Bluesilver Grass before, and the cloud tree he saw was pure white and holy, natural and magnificent, then now, this cloud tree is a bit more eerie.
The fluctuations it emits are extremely majestic, and its cultivation has reached more than 90,000 years.
"Is this a cloud tree? It is completely different from the ones outside. It exudes a strong smell of blood." The Yutian Henglan Electric Tyrannosaurus Dragon spirit instantly possessed him and looked at the blood-colored cloud tree warily.
"Be careful, this cloud tree is continuously absorbing the blood and soul power of the eleven thousand-year-old soul beasts, and its cultivation level is close to ninety thousand years old."
Tang San's gaze fell on the fallen man sitting cross-legged on the ninth layer of the blood cloud tree's cloud crown, his eyes solemn, "Norax said, this cloud tree is only twenty thousand years old, what is the use of the bloody sword Norman obviously?" Using this method, this cloud tree forcefully swallows other soul beasts, causing its lifespan to increase rapidly."
"Plant soul beasts that are ninety thousand years old are not easy to deal with." Huo Wu's eyes moved, "A soul beast with a cultivation level of more than fifty thousand years is equivalent to a Soul Douluo. At ninety thousand years old, it already has the strength of a titled Douluo. .”
In terms of cultivation alone, a soul beast's 90,000-year cultivation is equivalent to a Soul Douluo-level soul power. However, the body of a soul beast is much stronger than that of a human being. Therefore, an ordinary soul beast with a 50,000-year cultivation would have the same power. The strength can be equated with Soul Douluo. For ninety thousand years, even a titled Douluo still needs to show great spirit - Note: Soul masters with martial souls or naturally powerful souls or acquired mutations must be excluded from comparison.
If it is the 50,000-year-old level, Huo Wu is certainly worthy of it.
But at the 90,000-year level...
Even if his martial soul, Sun Goddess, possesses light and fire attributes and can restrain trees, it may not be able to completely destroy this bloody cloud tree with full firepower.
And setting fire in this forest is equivalent to trapping oneself in a cocoon!
"Don't worry too much. This cloud tree was not supplied because of our arrival. I'm afraid it's because Blood Sword Norman used some method to control the opponent's intelligence..."
