"Unless necessary, the special soul guide cannot be removed."
"Understood." x4
Dim.
Entering the Soul Beast Forest, everyone felt that these two words could perfectly describe this place.
Normally, in the Soul Beast Forest, sunlight could still shine through the gaps in the treetops, but here, even the tree trunks themselves were black, as if swallowing up the light.
"Xiao San." "No problem."
The second soul skill was activated, and the aroma of fragrant marjoram instantly rushed into the nostrils of the five people.
"Be alert now. The abilities of dark attribute spirit beasts are very strange. Be alert, Xiao Wu."
"I get it. Please don't always treat me like a child, okay?" Xiao Wu said unhappily, and according to Gu You's request, she concentrated all the effects of her second soul skill on danger sensing.
Last night, hotel room.
"...Xiao Wu, when you use your second soul skill tomorrow, don't enhance your basic senses. Focus all your attention on your sixth sense."
"To prevent my overly sensitive basic senses from causing me to hallucinate, got it?"
Gu You turned around and entered the spirit possession state, and said to Tang San in a dull voice: "I don't need to recover, use the recovery on yourself and Xiao Wu."
Walking deeper, Gu You introduced: "Soul Beast Forest - Dark Land, it is a relatively large soul beast forest."
"In addition to the forest we are going through now, there are three large mountains in the middle. Our destination is the stream in the southeast of the central area. We are now in the northern area, so we need to head southeast."
"From the map Brother Jie and the others gave us, we will encounter three threats that we need to pay special attention to, in addition to those lone spirit beasts that are difficult to guard against."
"First, the coyote pack."
"According to intelligence, an evolved leader, the Great Wolf Dog, appears among them. It has integrated all the coyote dogs and occupied an area in the northern region."
"The northern area... isn't that where we are?" Meng Yiran thought about it and found that she was in the northern area now. Doesn't that mean she might encounter a pack of coyotes at any time?
"Congratulations, you got it right, it's us."
"That's not what I want to hear!"
Gu You shrugged, "Just to liven up the atmosphere. If you're too nervous, you won't be able to hold on."
"This is just a small problem. I can solve it by using my ultimate transmission of the aura of the Terrorbeast. The key lies in the next two threats."
"Second, the rock monster."
"An extremely rare soul beast believed to be related to the soul. According to legend, each rock monster is formed by the soul of an extremely evil person who wanted to stay in the human world after his death and forcibly attached himself to the stone."
"Of course, this is just a legend. Although people believe it is related to the soul, according to records, the rock monster's attack methods and the soul skills it has provided are all spiritual, and it has never demonstrated any abilities related to the soul."
"Although it is, in fact, the more important thing is the rock. The main body is the stone under the body. When not in battle, it is almost the same as ordinary stone, but there are some mysterious patterns on it."
"So when you pass by that area, be careful of the stones under your feet. If you see any with patterns on them, don't step on them. As long as you don't disturb them, you can pass safely."
After listening to Gu You's introduction, Tang San looked thoughtful. Gu You was leading the way in front, not noticing Tang San's expression at all.
"The last one is the 'ghost' of this soul beast forest, the unknown fire."
Gu You said seriously, "When you encounter any light whose source you cannot determine, be sure to tell others. Don't think about handling it alone."
The journey was very smooth. Except for Gu You who introduced each soul beast he saw, everyone else was obviously affected by the gloomy environment. If it weren't for Gu You's chatterboxing, everyone would probably have gone for psychological counseling after coming out.
Gu You looked at the sky. It was just dark before, but now it was two shades darker. He felt that everyone was in a bad mood, and his mouth was dry from talking.
"That's all for today. Let's set up camp here."
When they heard about setting up camp, everyone's faces visibly relaxed. The atmosphere here made everyone uncomfortable, and their physical strength was lost faster than usual.
"It's terrible here." Xiao Wu released her spirit and couldn't help but complain, looking very tired. Even if she had soul power to replenish, it would be more mentally exhausting for her to keep using her second soul skill.
Lanta took out tools from the soul guide to set up traps. Hearing Xiao Wu's words, he said, "The environment here is too depressing and humid. Everything makes people feel uncomfortable."
Tang San and Meng Yiran didn't say anything, busy setting up the tent. Gu You walked to the edge of the bushes, ready to observe the ecology of the plants here.
唰
"What's that sound!" Tang San, who was setting up the tent, suddenly looked up.
After hearing Tang San's words, Gu You and Xiao Wu completed the spirit possession again in an instant.
"Brother You, be careful!"
Gu You hadn't figured out what was going on yet, and was about to turn around and ask what Tang San had heard.
Xiao Wu's words reached Gu You's ears. At the same time, the bushes in front of Gu You suddenly opened, and a huge feline face faced Gu You.
A fishy wind blew in his face, and in an instant, Gu You felt that time was being stretched infinitely.
Gu You's nose could no longer smell the fragrant marjoram scent emitted by Tang San's blue silver grass. Instead, what filled his entire nasal cavity was the fishy smell from the soul beast's mouth and the bloody smell emanating from its body.
Its red eyes were looking right at Gu You, and the bones covering half of its face were like a mask, making it look like a monster from a horror movie.
Gu You could clearly see its mouth slowly opening, its teeth pointing towards his throat, and saliva dripping on its teeth.
If some people become helpless and lose control of their bodies when watching horror movies, Gu You is just the opposite, he is the kind of person who bounces back after hitting rock bottom.
In his previous life, he went to a haunted house in an amusement park and ended up paying more than a thousand yuan before he could leave safely.
Even in this world, no matter how angry most people are after seeing the tragic state of the village, they will become weak in the knees when they encounter the murderer.
Gu You was different, he was indeed very scared, that was true. But this fear brought out his ferocity, and made him take the initiative to attack after using his "survival instinct".
In a trance, Gu You seemed to see the zombie he had seen in the haunted house before, the dim environment, the cold air, and the overwhelming horror.
Gu You didn't think... or rather, his body thought for his brain. Without using his first soul skill, he leaned back, twisted his body, and a sound of breaking wind was heard. His thick tail lashed fiercely on the soul beast's head.
In the sight of Tang San and others, a big cat jumped out from the bushes. Gu You was calm and turned around and swung its tail to knock the big cat's head crooked, and killed the hundred-year-old soul beast in one encounter.
Yes, it was an instant kill. The yellow spirit ring appeared. It would be rude if he didn’t die.
Gu You turned back and looked at the lifeless cat, his heart beating wildly. It was only because he had his back to everyone that he was not discovered.
snap
There was a sound of branches being broken from the treetops. Gu You suddenly looked up and stared at the figure that appeared above him.
"!"
The figure shuddered, as if startled. She pointed at the soul beast whose head was knocked crooked by Gu You and said, "That one is my prey."
Looking at the girl standing on the treetops, Xiao Wu asked, "Who are you? If you say it's your prey, then it's your prey?"
The girl glanced at Xiao Wu and stopped paying attention to her. She said to Gu You, "My name is Zhu Zhuqing. I left the wound on her neck."
"Zhu Zhuqing?!"
Hearing this name, Gu You's vigilance immediately reached its maximum, "That young lady is Zhu Zhuqing? Why is she here?"
Gu You turned his head and saw that Tang San had already walked up to the soul beast to check it. Using a branch to push aside the hair on its neck, Tang San said, "There is indeed a wound through the neck, and it is very fresh, it should have just appeared."
Hearing Tang San's words, Gu You quickly observed the fallen soul beast. He turned his head to look at Xiao Wu, only to see Xiao Wu slightly shaking her head, and immediately felt relieved.
"Sorry, it suddenly appeared in front of me, so I couldn't stop it."
Gu You released his spirit and said with a smile, "We can compensate you. If you don't mind, we will help you find a spirit beast that is more suitable for you."
Originally Zhu Zhuqing was still worried about what to do. She had finally found the right age, but now she had to look for it all over again.
After hearing what Gu You said, Zhu Zhuqing thought about it and agreed. Although the family required that she complete the soul beast hunting alone, they did not say that she would refuse other people's kindness.
"I was almost successful, but was interrupted by them. It's only right that they help me back." Zhu Zhuqing thought.
After convincing herself briefly, Zhu Zhuqing jumped back to the ground. Seeing her indifferent look, Gu You smiled and stretched out his hand, introducing himself: "Gu You, martial soul ultimate conduction beast, 23rd level melee standing type strong attack system great soul master."
"Zhu Zhuqing, martial soul... Black Cat, level 20 melee output type agility attack system quasi-great soul master."
The others also introduced themselves. Everyone was of the same age and soon became familiar with each other. Considering that everyone was in a bad mood, Gu You agreed to light a fire and cook a meal to boost morale.
"Sister Zhuqing, why did you come in alone to hunt souls?" Lanta asked curiously while drinking hot mushroom soup.
Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "…because of some family reasons."
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was in a bad mood, everyone wisely did not ask any further questions.
After dinner, Gu You said, "Yi Ran, Xiao Wu, Lan Ta, the three of you will guard the first half of the night. Xiao San, I, and Miss Zhu Zhuqing will take care of the second half. Miss Zhu Zhuqing, is that okay?"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and agreed to the arrangement.
.........
In the second half of the night, the three girls fell into a deep sleep.
Gu You, Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing gathered around the warm fire. Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and remained silent, Tang San closed his eyes and rested, while Gu You looked at the swaying flames thoughtfully.
"You are the second young lady of the Xingluo Zhu family, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly raised her head and looked at Gu You in surprise. Tang San also opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Your cover-up is too poor. His last name is Zhu, his martial spirit is a cat, and we heard from the town that he came from the Xing Luo Empire. It's easy to draw this conclusion."
"The soul beast I accidentally killed was called the Hooked Claw Cat. It got its name because of its short, hooked claws. Because of the characteristics of its claws, it often attacks by scratching wildly."
"The soul skill produced is the rumored Netherworld Hundred Claws, right?"
"Of course, the most important one is the name Zhu Zhuqing, which was published in the newspaper."
In the ears of Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing, Gu You's words were well-reasoned and they were easily convinced.
Only Gu You himself knows that what he said is bullshit. If you don't know the plot, who would know that this woman is Zhu Zhuqing? It is always the easiest to reverse the process from the result. (Except for mathematics)
Zhu Zhuqing sighed, shook her head and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to hide this from you."
"My name is Zhu Zhuqing, I was born in the Zhu family of Xingluo Empire, and my martial soul is the Netherworld Spirit Cat."
"No problem." Gu You waved his hand and asked, "What are you going to do next? Shall we help you find another hooked-claw cat of the right age?"
Speaking of soul beasts, Zhu Zhuqing also has a headache.
It is not easy to find a soul beast of the right age. In addition, the family stipulates that except for the first soul ring, soul beast hunting must be done alone, and the family cannot rely on it. If you fail and die in it, it means you are too incompetent.
Because of this, upon entering the Soul Beast Forest, Zhu Zhuqing quickly discovered a hooked-claw cat of the right age and became very excited. She quickly and severely injured it and then followed behind it, waiting for it to slowly bleed to death.
Unexpectedly, the spirit ring that was about to be obtained was blown away by Gu Youyi's tail. Now she didn't know whether to find a random spirit ring or find another hooked cat.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat at a loss, Gu You said to her:
"Do you believe in gravity?"
