Douluo: The Ruined King, Create an Army of Soul Masters

Chapter 16: Netherworld wolves, eager to run for their lives

Hunting soul beasts is not easy for ordinary soul masters. Some naturally powerful soul beasts still have strong attack capabilities even if they have not been practicing for a long time.

Lin Yi paid special attention to the seal group before they left. The number of people was in double figures.

When they first entered the area near the Soul Hunting Forest, most people called for a group of less than ten people, indicating that their target was a 100-year-old soul beast at most.

The target of Huang Junshi's soul hunting group is at least a century-old soul beast. Following them can save a lot of energy in finding powerful soul beasts.

Group hunting of soul beasts is very common in Douluo Continent, just like the boss battle in video games. The human shield is responsible for attracting the boss's firepower, the output is at the back to provide firepower, and the auxiliary station at the back maintains the status of the entire team.

The meaning of forming a group to hunt soul beasts is also the same, but I don’t know which part of it the sea dogs belong to.

With the Curse of Ruin, Lin Yi doesn't have to deliberately form a group when going to the advanced soul-hunting forest. All he has to do is to find those peers with strong abilities, and then cast the Curse of Ruin on them at the appropriate time. That's enough.

This way you don't have to worry about backstabbing from your teammates.

The height of the trees shows their age. There is a huge steel fence on the outside of the forest, with a large number of spikes exposed towards one side of the forest.

The fence is over ten meters high and looks extremely solid.

This is nothing.Outside the fence, a pair of hundreds of soldiers were roaming there. These soldiers were all wearing fine iron armor and holding long guns. The hundreds of steel warriors standing together gave people a chilling feeling.

Lin Yi stepped forward slowly and was immediately blocked by a soldier, "Little brother, this is not a place where you should come alone."

Without saying anything, Lin Yi simply took out the blue electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family warrant awarded by the system, and waved it in front of the warrior.

It is the third-level warrant of Wuhun Palace. With it, Lin Yi can freely enter and exit most of the soul-hunting forests in the Tiandou Empire.

As long as no ten thousand year soul beast appears in these soul hunting forests.

The soldier captain in charge of the inspection immediately put away his spear, straightened his body, and looked at Lin Yi respectfully, his face full of disbelief.

He gave way to Lin Yi and didn't even ask him about such a young child going into the Soul Hunting Forest alone.

After passing through the steel fence and entering the interior of the forest, all the noise disappeared instantly and the air became a little fresher.

He stood there and took a deep breath through his nose. His extraordinary senses allowed him to immediately track the direction of the seal hunting group.

There must be reconnaissance soul masters in the huge team. In order to avoid being discovered by them, Lin Yi did not follow in a hurry and slowed down to admire the surrounding scenery.

"There are quite a few little guys waiting for guests at night."

He muttered to himself, and the Blade of the Ruined King was already in his hand.

In the darkness, a pair of green eyes loomed.

The enhanced senses have good night vision capabilities. A colorful cat-like soul beast is lying on the tree, looking at Lin Yi warily.

"The feline spirit beast itself is very aggressive, but as long as you don't take the initiative to attack it, he won't pounce on it easily."

"Little guy, I'm not interested in you, so don't ask for trouble."

Seeing that the kitten was about to move, Lin Yi gave a cold warning.

The soul power of this colorful cat soul beast is not strong. It is only a ten-year-old colorful cat at most, so it is naturally not on Lin Yi's hunting list.

I once saw some novel fans discussing the plot settings on Zhihu and Tieba. Sometimes Lin Yi would be attracted by some titles and learn a little about soul beasts.

It's like how to identify the strength of soul beasts or their age.

The strength of a soul beast is determined by the color of its soul power when attacking and its own volume. Similar to the bamboo plant type soul beast, its height represents its age.

"The Order of the Lotus is a weapon spirit, and it is also a plant-based spirit. The effect of the additional spirit ring should be as auxiliary gain as possible to enhance toughness and have a negative impact on the enemy."

Plant-type martial spirits can also achieve good results if they only focus on control.

As the most important spirit, the Blade of the Ruined King cannot add spirit rings casually, so it can only focus on the Order of the Lotus.

"It's a cat that only knows itself."

Shocked by the soul power, the colorful cat lying on the tree had long since disappeared.

Unknowingly, I walked into a bamboo forest. Several fox bamboo trees over ten meters tall moved without wind. They raised their hands and waved their swords, and the ten-year-old fox bamboo trees in front of them were cut off and fell.

A ray of white light floats out from its bamboo trunk.

As long as Lin Yi wants to, he can absorb the ten-year fox bamboo soul ring at any time.

He doesn't like the ten-year soul ring.

"Generally speaking, the upper limit of the soul ring absorbed by a soul warrior to become a soul master is 420 three years. Try to be as close to this year as possible to maximize your power."

Rubbing his chin, this limit is also a theory. It is not impossible to continue to increase the age, but it will bear more pressure when absorbing.

When they were almost done shopping, Lin Yi abandoned the Fox Bamboo Soul Ring and ran quickly along the scented depression.

It wasn't that he was impatient, but while he was wandering around, he noticed that the soul hunting group where the seals belonged had not moved for a long time.

Excluding the possibility of being stationed, they must have encountered a powerful soul beast.

As he got closer to the center of the depression, white powder was scattered on the ground around him.

"The direction is right."

This pungent-smelling white powder is supposed to repel snakes and insects.

Lin Yi slowed down. So his previous guess might be biased. The seal hunting group is still waiting for the opportunity?So stay here to rest.

"Whether it is active or passive, there is a battle ahead."

The rich smell of blood rushed straight to his forehead through his nose, and vaguely, more than ten green light spots were moving in his direction.

"A large group of ghost wolves."

With a wolf howl, Lin Yi determined the type of soul beast.

Wolves always like to move in groups. There are a total of twelve wolf-shaped soul beasts. They are more than 1.5 meters long and their entire bodies are iron-grey.

Green light is emanating from their eyes.

"Wait...something's not right!"

After slashing a Netherworld Wolf in half with his sword, Lin Yi realized the problem.

These Nether Blues were not coming for him at all, they just ran away along this route and happened to bump into Lin Yi.

Boom!

There was a sound of explosions in the woods ahead, dust was flying, and a scarred figure emerged from the dust curtain like a cannonball, hitting the ground and sliding for ten meters before stopping.

Lin Yi took a closer look and saw that this man was the strong man who had previously called Sea Dog Huang Junshi to join the team.

At this moment, the armor on his body was pierced, and his intestines fell out of the body along the wound. The scene was extremely bloody.

"My Nima!"

Lin Yi's pupils shrank and he raised his sword to resist.

The next second, an invisible impact knocked him back several meters, and the hand holding the sword was numb.

"The vast scorched earth!"

The endless black mist filled the air, and he lurked in the vast scorched earth. The soul beast that had never appeared seemed to have lost its patience and left to pursue other members of the soul hunting group.
