Chapter 24 Intercepting the Fiery Bull

Chapter 24 Intercepting the Fiery Bull

Lazy tree.

As the name suggests...it's lazy.

Well, it’s actually because the lazy tree grows very slowly that it’s called the lazy tree.

……

After the twin brothers finished absorbing the soul rings, it was getting late.

In the soul hunting forest at night, according to past experience, many powerful soul beasts will wake up and look for food.

Considering the safety of Su Yun and the other two students, Teacher Xiong decided to camp on the spot and rest.

With the protection of the fire and Mr. Xiong, the three of Su Yun rested very peacefully that night.

The next day.

In the early morning, Su Yun and his group of four walked through the Soul Hunting Forest and walked towards the depths.

Most of the soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest are bred in captivity, so they are basically ten-year or century-level soul beasts. Thousand-year-level soul beasts are extremely rare.

Last night was night after all. Considering safety, Teacher Xiong did not continue walking deeper.

But it's daytime now and visibility is good.

With his strength as a two-level soul master, unless he is attacked by multiple century-old soul beasts, he is not afraid of other single soul beasts.

"Su Yun, do you really want Lazy Tree to be your first soul ring?"

Teacher Xiong's voice came from the front of the team: "I've heard that plant spirit beasts like lazy trees are not only rare in number, but also have strong side effects on spirit masters as spirit rings."

"I advise you to find another soul beast to hunt, such as a soul beast like Lone Bamboo. I think that kind of soul beast is quite suitable for your Blue Silver Grass martial spirit."

Teacher Xiong was shocked when he learned that the soul beast Su Yun was looking for turned out to be the lazy tree.

As someone who has formed a group in the Soul Hunting Forest, Teacher Xiong naturally understands what kind of soul beast the lazy tree is.

A lazy tree that grows very slowly.

A century-old lazy tree is only about one meter high.

That's right, only one meter high.

And after a hundred years, the height of the lazy tree will only increase by ten centimeters for every hundred years it grows.

Very strange.

This is why it is named the lazy tree.

As a soul beast, the lazy tree has only one attack ability.

That's its leaves.

Although the sloth tree grows very slowly in vertical height, its leaves are replaced very quickly.

A lazy tree sheds an average of leaves every day, enough to cover a two-meter radius.

Over time, due to the terrain and the wind.

The leaves of the lazy tree can be said to completely form an encirclement, protecting the lazy tree.

Because they emit fragrance, the leaves of the lazy tree often become food for some spirit beasts.

However, once these soul beasts follow the scent and step onto the leaves of the lazy tree, the soul power remaining in the leaves of the lazy tree will immediately play its role.

slow down!

That's right, as long as it comes into contact with the leaves of the lazy tree, everything will immediately slow down by 3% for seconds.

The scent of lazy tree leaves will remain on the decelerated object for 3 minutes.

If you eat the leaves of the lazy tree into your stomach, the duration of the deceleration will not change, but the duration of the aroma will be extended to 10 minutes.

The body is full of fragrance, which for some soul beasts who are not good at hiding is equivalent to opening up the whole map for other soul beasts in the forest.

Once contaminated, you can only wait to be discovered by natural enemies.

Also relying on this method, many weak soul beasts dare not approach the lazy tree.

Of course, not all spirit beasts dare not approach the lazy tree.

Because lazy trees are rare, it is quite difficult to find a mature lazy tree in a small forest like the Soul Hunting Forest.

Therefore, after some powerful soul beasts find lazy trees, they usually keep them in captivity and use them as their granary.

The reason Mr. Xiong advised Su Yun not to use the lazy tree as his first soul ring was also because he had seen some soul masters get their first soul rings from the lazy tree.

However, the results obtained were unsatisfactory.

Not only did they not inherit the advantages of the lazy tree, but they also inherited the shortcomings of the lazy tree.

For example, the first soul skill is to scent the body, or to directly slow down oneself.

There are also some tree martial spirits. Their trees can indeed bear leaves, but those leaves must be picked manually by the spirit master.

It's just that people didn't expect that those leaves would actually work on the soul master's body.

This can only be said that the soul skills given by the lazy tree soul ring are very strange, and can even be said to be rubbish.

Su Yun naturally knows this knowledge.

Ah Yin had already told him about this and told him not to worry.

As the Blue Silver Emperor, Su Yun believed that using Ah Yin's methods to control the characteristics absorbed by the soul ring should be a piece of cake.

Maybe with the characteristics of the Blue Silver Emperor, he might be able to evolve Lazy Tree's skills.

Su Yun and his party searched the forest for a long time, but they never saw the lazy tree.

This is normal.

The sloth tree is not tall, so it is hard to find in the woods with a lot of vegetation.

Coupled with its rarity, unless you can smell its fragrance, it can be said to be quite difficult to find the lazy tree.

"Hey, it seems to have a fragrance?" The twin brother suddenly sniffed his nose and shouted a little excitedly.

"Huh? It seems to be the smell of lazy trees." Mr. Xiong also affirmed the smell after smelling it.

Su Yun, who was walking behind the team, also smelled it at this time.

Hmm...the aroma of malt.

Su Yun couldn't help but think of an ancient advertisement.

"Forget it, since Su Yun you have your own ideas, teacher, I won't stop you. Let's go directly there now."

"But you have to be careful."

"There is probably a powerful soul beast guarding the lazy tree now."

"This kind of spirit beast usually regards the lazy tree as its own private property, so we must be gentler when we wait, and remember not to touch the leaves of the lazy tree."

The leaves of the lazy tree sometimes float in the wind, and soul masters walking in the forest may be infected accidentally and become the target of many soul beasts, and even some soul masters with ill intentions.

While leading the team from the front, Teacher Xiong warned: "If we encounter a thousand-year-level soul beast later, we will leave directly."

Su Yun nodded without objection.

Even Tang San could barely kill the thousand-year soul beast with the help of hidden weapons and the Clear Sky Hammer.

Now, the strongest combat power on their side is only Teacher Xiong.

The three people including him, Su Yun, could be said to have only five combat strengths against the thousand-year soul beast.

It has almost no effect.

And once they get into a melee, the slowing effect of the lazy tree leaves will also become a key factor restricting their actions.

So, leaving is the best option.

Following the unique scent of the lazy tree, Su Yun and the others walked through several jungles under the leadership of Teacher Xiong.

Along the way, they also saw the leaves of the sloth tree.

Under Teacher Xiong's reminder, Su Yun naturally took in the appearance of the leaves of the lazy tree.

The emerald green leaves don't look very big, only about half the size of a baby's hand.

Green leaves as thin as cicada wings fly in the air with the wind, and the sunlight passes through from top to bottom, revealing its jade-like texture.

"No wonder the soul beasts like to eat it. The shape alone deserves a five-star rating." Su Yun silently praised it in his heart.

"We're here!" Teacher Xiong's voice suddenly sounded.

However, he also lowered his volume slightly in order to prevent disturbing the spirit beast guarding the lazy tree.

Su Yun and the others quickly followed and came to Teacher Xiong's side.

Looking in the direction pointed by Teacher Xiong's hand, about fifty meters away from them, there was an emerald-like tree rooted quietly to the ground.

Judging from the height only by visual inspection, it is estimated to be about 1.3 meters.

"About four hundred years?" Su Yun murmured.

The soul ring of this year is just right for him now.

In Su Yun's opinion, with Tang San's practice of Xuantian Kung since he was a child and his physical fitness, it shouldn't be difficult to absorb a five-hundred-year-old soul ring.

If he could practice earlier, maybe the soul beast soul rings he could hunt today would be of a higher age.

After all, the older the soul ring is, the greater the strength of the soul skills it brings.

"I can only hope that when I absorb the second soul ring, my physical fitness will be qualitatively improved."

Su Yun secretly reminded himself while looking around the lazy tree.

Around the lazy tree, as Mr. Xiong said, the green leaves of the lazy tree are everywhere.

These leaves look like glass, shining under the sunlight, which is very attractive to spirit beasts... and women.

Some noble women once wanted to bring back the leaves of the lazy tree for decoration or even jewelry.

But unfortunately, the leaves of the lazy tree are disposable. Unless they come into contact with the soil, they will take effect immediately and slow down those who touch them.

"Teacher, why didn't you see the soul beast?" the twin brother asked in a low voice.

"You kid, do you think that spirit beasts that have lived for hundreds of years are all fools?"

"Even if they are not as intelligent as us humans, they still have their own way of survival."

"Those soul beasts may be hiding in a corner, waiting for an unsuspecting soul beast to break into its territory."

Teacher Xiong stared carefully around the lazy tree, fearing to miss any detail: "Once it is slowed down, the spirit beast will become a lamb to be slaughtered by the owner of this territory."

"Hiss—" the twin brother gasped slightly, then nodded.

He had always thought that soul beasts were animals that could only use brute force. Now after hearing the teacher's words, he realized how terrifying these soul beasts were.

After waiting in place for about a quarter of an hour, Teacher Xiong relaxed his tense nerves after realizing that there were indeed no soul beasts guarding him around.

"Huh - it seems we are lucky, we came across an unknown tree."

"Hey, Su Yun, you are really lucky."

"This lazy tree has no offensive ability at all, so it should be easy for you to take it down."

"I see that the height of the lazy tree is at least over three hundred years old, which is just right for you."

Teacher Xiong patted Su Yun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I won't say more. You have your own opinion. Since you want it, just go and hunt for your first soul ring."

When the twin brothers next to him saw this, they looked at Su Yun with an expression of envy on their faces.

You can obtain a soul ring without any effort or even fighting a soul beast.

It’s so easy to use plant-based martial arts~

Su Yun didn't hesitate, picked up the spear in his hand and prepared to step forward.

However, before he even took a step forward, a strange and familiar feeling surged into his heart from his left hand again.

The nearby bluesilver grass was reminding him!

dangerous!

Su Yun's steps faltered, he took a step back and whispered: "If you're in danger, get down!"

Teacher Xiong was the first to react. For some reason, he suddenly found that he believed what Su Yun said, so he quickly held down the twin brother next to him.

The four people who were standing immediately fell down, leaving only four pairs of eyes looking out from the grass.

Just when Teacher Xiong was about to ask Su Yun what happened, a trembling feeling came from a distance and shook his chest through the ground.

Rumbling--

With the tremors getting worse, a bison that was two meters tall and covered with wild flame patterns suddenly appeared in front of the four people with its feet on fire.

"Fire Bull!" Teacher Xiong's pupils suddenly shrank.

"It should be the same as us, attracted by the fragrance of the leaves of the lazy tree." Su Yun frowned slightly.

The blazing bull in front of him looked like it was more than six hundred years old. In terms of pure strength, even Teacher Xiong beside him was inferior to this blazing bull.

Moreover, the Fiery Bull's defensive power is also outstanding, and it can even spit out high-temperature fire in battle.

Coupled with the stubborn temper of the Fiery Bull, once it locks on a target, it will chase it to death.

Therefore, when ordinary soul master teams enter the hunting forest, they will try their best to avoid encountering them.

As soon as the Fiery Bull came here, his eyes immediately locked onto the emerald green lazy tree.

"Moo~"

The Fiery Bull was extremely excited.

"Su Yun, this Fiery Bull is very difficult to deal with. Are you sure you don't want me to help you?" Teacher Xiong looked at the extremely excited Fiery Bull and asked in a low voice.

Even if he faced the Fiery Bull, it would still take a lot of effort.

What's more, Su Yun has no soul skills?

Of course I want your help... Su Yun cursed in his heart.

"Teacher, I still want to rely on my own strength." Su Yun clenched the spear in his hand and looked at Teacher Xiong beside him with a smile, "If I really can't hold on anymore, teacher, you have to come and save me quickly. "

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yun's body instantly turned into an arrow and shot out!

"Wow! Su Yun's speed is so fast!"

"Is he really a weapon soul master? Can the Blue Silver Grass martial soul still accelerate the soul master?"

When the twin brothers saw Su Yun's speed far exceeding that of others, they repeatedly let out exclamations of surprise.

Teacher Xiong did not answer, but fixed his gaze firmly on Su Yun.

If Su Yun shows signs of defeat later, he must take action immediately.

Thinking of this, the soul power in Teacher Xiong's body began to slowly flow again.

"Buzz!"

A bit of cold light arrived first, and then the gun came in and out of the dragon!

Just as the Fiery Bull was walking towards the lazy tree with great interest, his hoofs touched the leaves on the ground and his speed slowed down.

The sound of a gunshot piercing the air suddenly rang in its ears!
