Chapter 21 Man-Eating Vine

Shi Quan stayed in the library for the whole morning and had lunch. It was not until the afternoon that Malder came back.

He also brought news that the head of the Notting City Wuhun Hall wanted to see him in person.

In order not to delay the soul hunting tomorrow, Malder simply explained a few words to Shi Quan and took him to the Wuhun Hall in person.

Unlike the Wuhun Hall in the small village, the Wuhun Hall in Notting City is very magnificent. The width of the front alone is more than 100 meters, and it is 20 meters high. It is divided into three floors.

Under the leadership of Malder, Shi Quan went directly to the door of a room on the third floor, and pushed the door open without knocking.

"Dean Ma is back so soon?" A full-bodied voice sounded from the room, and there was no anger at being suddenly interrupted in the voice.

This is a bright office. The room is very large, with an area of ​​70 to 80 square meters. In the middle is a middle-aged man sitting behind a large desk. He is wearing neat soul master clothes and the badge on his chest is engraved with the five swords logo.

Soul Master, Soul Master, Great Soul Master, Soul Master, Soul Master

It showed that he was a Soul Master of the same Soul Sect level as Malder.

"I don't want to delay this kid's training." Malder pointed at the middle-aged man and introduced: "Xiaoquan, this is Dawson, the Hall Master of the Notting City Wuhun Hall. You can just call him Hall Master Dawson."

"Hello, Hall Master Dawson." Shi Quan greeted politely.

"You must be Shi Quan, right? Well, well, it's true that heroes come out of youth. Come over here and let me see." Dawson's eyes lit up when he saw Shi Quan. He stood up and walked out of the desk, waving at Shi Quan while walking towards him.

He said he was looking, but in fact he was checking.

How could he be an ordinary person who could become the head of a hall in the Wuhun Hall? During the time when Malder was away, Dawson had already learned about Shi Quan's general situation from Su Yuntao, who helped Shi Quan awaken.

If someone else told him that a soul warrior with only one level of innate soul power could break through to level ten within a year and a half, his first reaction would be an evil soul master.

If Malde hadn't given him repeated assurances and explained it to him tirelessly for a whole morning, Dawson would definitely not believe it.

After checking Shi Quan's body and soul power, Dawson checked Shi Quan's martial soul again, and even asked Shi Quan to personally demonstrate his practice process.

Only then did he initially gain Dawson's trust.

After confirming that Shi Quan's strength was not a problem and that he relied on his own practice, the topic returned to hunting souls.

After a brief discussion, Malde and Dawson decided that they would personally take Shi Quan to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt soul beasts tomorrow.

After leaving the Spirit Hall and returning, Malde told Shi Quan to have a good rest.

After returning to the dormitory, Shi Quan did not relax and continued to practice all night.

The next morning, after getting up early and packing up, Shi Quan left the academy with Malde and got on the carriage prepared by Dawson.

It was not an easy task for two soul masters to hunt a hundred-year-old soul beast together, so the three of them did not need to prepare anything else.

Set off directly.

"Take a look. These are the soul beasts that are still alive in the primary Soul Hunting Forest. This record was updated last week, so there won't be much discrepancy."

As he spoke, Dawson took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Shi Quan.

The soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest are all specially raised in captivity. The Spirit Hall naturally has some simple records. In addition to law enforcement, the law enforcement team in the Soul Hunting Forest will also regularly record the situation of soul beasts in the forest. This is also the origin of the booklet in Shi Quan's hand. This booklet is exclusively for the Spirit Hall and is generally not shown to others.

Shi Quan flipped through the booklet in his hand, and there was a little more surprise in his eyes. This booklet not only recorded the types of soul beasts that existed in the primary Soul Hunting Forest, but also recorded the approximate age and location. This booklet is completely an internal map of the Soul Hunting Forest.

The sound of flipping the book kept ringing. Shi Quan didn't want to flip so fast. There was no other way. In such a large soul hunting forest, there were very few plant soul beasts over 400 years old. Most of them were beast soul beasts. He looked at seven or eight plant soul beasts in a row, but there was no suitable one.

"No way... There won't be what I want."

Shi Quan continued to flip the book with a bit of trepidation.

"This is it!"

Shi Quan's flipping action finally stopped.

"Have you found the right one?" Malder turned his head curiously and looked at the book in Shi Quan's hand.

"Man-eating vine?" When he saw the description of the age at the back, Malder frowned immediately, "About 550 years, the age is too high."

"I think we can try it." Shi Quan's eyes fell directly on the man-eating vine.

The name of the man-eating vine sounds scary, but it is actually a very common soul beast. Under normal conditions, this vine will coil up in a ball and look beautiful. If someone approaches or gets close to a certain range, the vines of the man-eating vine will open instantly and grow several times in a short period of time, like a big mouth that drowns people and soul beasts and entangles them tightly.

The vines of the man-eating vine are very special. Its toughness is not strong among vine soul beasts of the same level, nor is it thick, and it has no toxins, but its vines have a very special characteristic, which is growth. As long as you can't break free from its entanglement at once, its broken vines can heal quickly and continue to grow.

Growing fast and being able to heal, these two points on plant-type soul beasts are a manifestation of vigorous vitality.

Shi Quan wanted a soul beast with long vitality, and the characteristics of the man-eating vine could also meet his needs for the first soul skill.

In fact, according to Shi Quan's speculation, with his current situation, he could successfully absorb some more powerful top soul beasts under the same age. For this kind of ordinary low-level soul beast, he could completely challenge the maximum age of the second soul ring, which is more than 700 years, but he couldn't.

Once the age he absorbed was too high and the quality of the soul ring was too strong, his true situation would be suspected, so he had to make some trade-offs on the first soul ring of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul to make himself special, but not too abrupt.

So on the basis of giving up the age and strength of the soul ring, his requirement for his first soul ring was to obtain an auxiliary skill that satisfied him!

The characteristics of the man-eating vine met Shi Quan's requirements. If the man-eating vine soul ring was absorbed, the Blue Silver Grass would most likely obtain the soul skill of rapid growth.

Although the use of internal force can also extend the length of the blue silver grass, the soul power required will increase exponentially as the distance increases. If there is a growth skill, it can not only reduce the consumption of the blue silver grass extension, but also increase the attack control range of the blue silver grass.

"Let's see if there are other suitable ones?"

Shi Quan was not in a hurry to finalize it. He also wanted to see if there were other more suitable soul beasts. However, after reading the whole booklet, from all aspects, the most suitable one was the man-eating vine. With Shi Quan's insistence, he finally decided on the target of this trip, the man-eating vine.

Notting City is also hundreds of miles away from the nearest soul hunting forest. It is not far, nor is it close. The carriage drove all the way until noon the next day when the group finally arrived at the town outside the soul hunting forest.

"Group hunting speed-type soul beasts..."

"Seven people waiting for the order..."

Various shouts continued, and looking around, there were a large number of shops of various types set up for soul masters.

"So many people." Through the window of the carriage, Shi Quan couldn't help but look around curiously.

The carriage did not stop in the commercial town. When Shi Quan walked out of the market and saw the large forest not far away, he could not help but show a shocked look.

Tall trees were staggered in groups. This scene could not be compared even to the primitive forest in the previous life.

There was a huge steel fence outside the forest. Outside the fence, the soldiers of the Spirit Hall were wearing fine iron full body armor, holding long spears, and patrolling in a strict military appearance.

The carriage drove all the way to the camp of the Spirit Hall soldiers before stopping. The carriage they were riding had the exclusive logo of the Spirit Hall, so there was no one to check along the way.

After getting off the carriage, the three did not stop. While walking towards the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest, Malde also began to instruct some precautions in the Soul Hunting Forest.

As he said, the three had already arrived at the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest.

Dawson, who was walking in the front, took out a token from his arms and showed it to the guarding soldier. With a loud shout, the soldiers quickly made way for a passage and personally led Dawson into the forest.

"Sir, the location you mentioned should be in this direction." The soldier pointed to the southeast respectfully.

Dawson nodded and looked at Malder on the side, "Malder, if you delay, something will happen. Let's fight quickly."

"No problem." Malder agreed and hugged Shi Quan, "Let's go!"

As soon as the voice fell, the figures of the two people shot out. Both of them were soul masters, and the soul beasts of the hundred-year level were no threat to them at all.

The two people rushed all the way, and the soul beasts they encountered were all low-level ten-year soul beasts, and there were few hundred-year soul beasts. Dawson, who was leading the way, released the soul power fluctuations unique to his soul master. There were no blind soul beasts to trouble them along the way.

A few hours later.

"It should be nearby." Dawson's speed gradually slowed down.

The surroundings were still dense jungles. Dawson stopped walking for a while, "Found it."

Following Dawson's gaze, there was a dark red flower, shaped like a sun ring, as beautiful as a blazing sun, but if you look closely, the petals that look like flowers are actually made up of thin vines.

"That's the red flower." Dawson raised his chin slightly forward, and as he spoke, he looked at Malder.

Malder strode forward, his turbid eyes instantly became sharp, and a dark golden iron stick appeared in his hand. With the surge of soul power around him, four soul rings of white, yellow, yellow, and purple rose from the circling under him.

Huh, the long stick was swung, bringing a gust of wind.

Before the powerful blow fell, a rustling sound of branches and leaves trembling continuously sounded, and the dark red flower was like an explosion, and a large number of dark red thin vines suddenly scattered and wrapped around the long stick.

"Is this the soul beast?" Looking at the suddenly rising man-eating vine, Shi Quan felt his scalp tingling.

A person suddenly appeared in his mind, curiously looking forward, and was wrapped like a vine pupa by the rising man-eating vine.

It was the first time for Shi Quan to see the soul beast's attack method and the battle between the soul beast and the soul master, and his heart was still a little excited.

He secretly changed his position in his heart, how should he deal with such a situation.

Malde's response method was very simple and rough. Every time the powerful dark gold iron stick was swung, a large number of vines would be directly broken by it.

The most difficult thing about the man-eating vine is that its vines will regenerate continuously, but the disadvantage is also obvious, because its vines are relatively slender and not very tough. As long as the soul power of a strong attack-type weapon soul master like Malde is slightly higher, he can easily crush it.

Under the powerful swing of the long stick, the regeneration speed of the man-eating vine is obviously not as fast as Malde's destruction speed, and the vines of the man-eating vine cannot be infinitely regenerated, which requires soul power.

Under Malde's violent long stick, the man-eating vine soon only had the last section of vines trembling softly on the ground, and it seemed very weak when it moved occasionally.

"It's okay, Xiaoquan, come here." Malde said after checking the long stick up and down.

A hundred-year-old soul beast has no wisdom, only the instincts of beasts, so generally there is no need to worry about the situation of soul beasts pretending to be dead and counterattacking ten thousand years ago.

"Thank you, teacher." Shi Quan came back to his senses. He didn't expect that Malde, who looked gentle and stubborn with a bit of bossiness, would be so fierce in battle.

While thinking, Shi Quan had already strode to Malde's side. Malde then took out a long dagger from his waist and handed it to Shi Quan.

Shi Quan took the long dagger, squatted down, and stabbed the dagger diagonally into the vine in the heart of the man-eating vine.

After the man-eating vine's last dying struggle, a faint yellow light slowly emerged from its body and gradually turned into a yellow soul ring.

"Be careful." Malde patted Shi Quan's shoulder worriedly. At this point, he could only cheer and encourage Shi Quan.

Shi Quan nodded and sat cross-legged, took a long breath, and then summoned his martial soul.

The blue light intersected with the yellow light in the air. The yellow soul ring in the air was attracted by the blue silver grass and immediately fell to the top of Shi Quan's head at a very fast speed. Then it quickly shrank and finally became the size of a golden bracelet and fell straight down, and was put on the blue silver grass in Shi Quan's hand.

The next moment, Shi Quan's body suddenly trembled violently.

Mald and Dawson on the side looked at Shi Quan.

"The energy of the soul ring has begun to impact, Xiaoquan, come on, you must hold on." Mald's fists had been clenched at some point. In addition to worry, he looked at Shi Quan with more expectation, looking forward to Shi Quan's success!
