"Now... sigh, I don't know if they've all run into the depths of the forest, or for some other reason."

While everyone was resting, Zhao Wuji suddenly let out a sigh.

It just feels like finding soul beasts is harder now than before!

"Whatever the reason, it was caused by us!"

"Soul beasts may be ferocious, but we humans are even more ferocious!"

"Our teacher once said that although the number of Soul Masters is small, it only takes a few decades for a Soul Master to grow from the beginning of their cultivation to a powerful one. Within these few decades, a powerful Soul Master needs at least six Soul Rings. That means they need to hunt at least six Soul Beasts. Among these, there are those that are hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years old. The cultivation of Soul Beasts is much more difficult than that of humans; otherwise, they wouldn't classify strength according to age. Although they are numerous, if this kind of killing continues, the number of Soul Beasts will only continue to decrease, especially powerful Soul Beasts, which are one less to be killed. Many years later, it will probably be difficult to see any that are over a thousand years old."

"The bigger impact is the indiscriminate killing. A Soul Master only needs a maximum of nine Soul Beasts in their lifetime, but how many Soul Beasts does a Soul Master have to hunt in their lifetime? Not to mention others, even on our journey, when we encounter some ten-year and hundred-year Soul Beasts that attack us, we can't help but take them down. And those who make a living by hunting Soul Beasts will have their kill count increased exponentially. If this continues, the Soul Master profession will probably reach a point where there are no Soul Beasts left to use."

After hearing Zhao Wuji's remarks, Tang San, who had learned about this subject from Yu Xiaogang, shared everything he knew.

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and the others fell silent, seemingly mourning for the future.

Xiao Wu clenched her hands tightly. Hearing Tang San's words, she was more saddened than the others and felt despair for the future of the soul beasts.

"Impossible! No matter how many years pass, a Soul Master will never be without usable Soul Rings!"

Seeing the somber expressions on everyone's faces, Su Mo smiled faintly and refuted Tang San's words.

"Oh why?"

"Didn't Tang San just make it very clear?"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Zhao Wuji looked at Su Mo in surprise.

Tang San and the others also looked at Su Mo, wondering why Su Mo said that.

"I admit that most of what Tang San said is correct, but I can't agree with the last point. In my opinion, soul beasts can never become extinct, and soul masters will never be reduced to the point of having no soul rings to use!"

"It's just that future Soul Masters might only have low-level Soul Rings available!"

"Take Blue Silver Grass for example. There are countless Blue Silver Grasses on the Douluo Continent!"

"Soul beasts like Blue Silver Grass can never become extinct!"

"If those high-level soul beasts are indiscriminately killed, their soul rings will not be absorbed and will not be wasted. Instead, they will dissipate into the world and return to nature!"

"And the same goes for Soul Masters after they die; their Soul Power will return to nature!"

"After this soul power returns to nature, more soul beasts will naturally be born, and animals that originally had no soul power will be more likely to become soul beasts!"

"If the number of high-level soul beasts decreases significantly in the future, the number of low-level soul beasts will surge. Even if there is a period of time when there are too many human powerhouses and soul beasts are scarce, it will be fine once the human powerhouses die out!"

"That's why I said future Soul Masters won't be without any Soul Rings; at most, they'll just run out of high-quality Soul Rings!"

"But since neither of us has any, it's even!"

"In the future, there may be a large number of white-ringed Soul Masters, whose entire Soul Rings are white!"

"Then they will be very envious of our ancestors!"

Su Mo quickly shared his insights, and when he mentioned that all future Soul Masters would have white Soul Rings, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, they're all white spirit rings!"

That's hilarious!

Ma Hongjun and the others laughed when they heard this.

……

Chapter 43 The Man-Faced Demon Spider

After listening to Su Mo's analysis, everyone laughed and then sighed with emotion.

Even according to Su Mo's analysis, future Soul Masters will not be without Soul Rings, but they will become increasingly lonely.

In the end, they might only be able to absorb white spirit rings, and if a yellow spirit ring appears, they'll have to fight tooth and nail to get it.

The saddest person was Xiao Wu, who thought that Su Mo's words would allow her to see a bright future for soul beasts.

Who knew it would be like this? So, only the weak and low-level soul beasts are left to be slaughtered, right?

"Everyone, be careful!"

Suddenly, sensing something was amiss, Zhao Wuji stood up and alerted everyone.

At this moment, everyone felt the oppressive atmosphere around them, and their expressions became solemn.

"Oscar, get the mushroom sausages ready!"

Zhao Wuji gave instructions to Oscar.

"Yes, Teacher Zhao!"

Oscar quickly agreed and then started making mushroom sausages.

After preparing the first one, he immediately handed it to Su Mo, who was standing next to him.

"Roar--"

Before Oscar could continue making the mushroom sausage, the terrifying figure of the Titan Ape appeared.

……

After a scene of utter devastation.

"Oscar, give me a mushroom sausage, I'll consider it a favor, please!"

When Tang San saw Xiao Wu being captured by the Titan Giant Ape, how could he not go to rescue her?

Tang San was unaware that Su Mo had a mushroom sausage, and Oscar had also forgotten about it.

So after eating a mushroom sausage made by Oscar, Tang San spread his wings and chased after the direction in which the Titan Giant Ape disappeared.

"I'll go help Tang San!"

Seeing this, Su Mo ate the mushroom sausage in her hand and quickly chased after Tang San.

swoosh~

Zhao Wuji and the others saw Tang San and Su Mo's figures disappear in an instant.

"Damn it!"

"If we're going to save them, let's all work together!"

"Oscar, hurry up and make mushroom sausages for everyone!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Wuji immediately cursed loudly and then ordered Oscar to make mushroom sausages.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to catch up with Su Mo and the others.

Although the mushroom sausage can only fly for one minute, that's at the speed of a crested serpent.

"Yes, Teacher Zhao!"

Oscar, upon hearing this, dared not delay and immediately continued production.

Having just experienced some setbacks, Oscar will need some time to produce enough mushroom sausages all at once.

"Su Mo!"

Ning Rongrong watched Su Mo's disappearing figure, her beautiful eyes filled with anxiety and worry.

She didn't expect that Su Mo would actually rush up.

At this moment, Tang San also noticed Su Mo chasing closely behind him.

"Su Mo, what brings you here too?"

Tang San continued forward, glancing at Su Mo in surprise.

"It's nothing, Xiao Wu is my teammate too!"

Su Mo didn't explain much. He couldn't very well tell Tang San that he had come to intercept Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, could he?

"Thank you!"

Tang San was deeply moved and thanked him.

Finally, Tang San continued to chase after them, with Su Mo following behind him.

The mushroom sausage's time was up, and the two could only continue chasing each other on the ground.

Fortunately, after the Titan Giant Ape passed by, no other soul beasts blocked their way.

Zhizhi~

However, there was an exception: a two-meter-long human-faced spider suddenly blocked Su Mo and Tang San's path.

"It's actually a human-faced demon spider! This human-faced demon spider is definitely over a thousand years old. It won't be easy to deal with!"

Upon seeing this, Tang San became furious, angry that the other party had blocked his way and delayed his rescue of Xiao Wu.

"Tang San, I'll take care of this human-faced demon spider. You go after Xiao Wu first, I'll be there shortly!"

At this moment, Su Mo spoke up, telling Tang San to go first while he would cover his retreat.

As he spoke, Su Mo stepped forward with the Soul Hunter Spear in hand, coldly confronting the human-faced demon spider.

Hearing Su Mo's words, Tang San was moved once again.
