Douluo's Mistake

Since they were very close to the inner circle, there were more soul beasts. It was not like yesterday when they couldn't touch any of them.

For example, this tiger suddenly jumped out of the forest and appeared in front of the two of them.

It's true to say it's a roadblock. It has black stripes on a white background, a tuft of yellow-brown hair on its forehead, and a large patch of hair on its back. Its two front legs are pure white, while its two hind legs are extremely black. It's a regular dog. The tiger roared menacingly at Shen Yeyan and Tang San.

Tang San had never heard the master describe this kind of spirit beast, so he couldn't help but look at Shen Yeyan aside.

"This is the Swift Mastiff Tiger. It has always won with speed, but its own strength is not very good, so there is nothing to be afraid of. If we hadn't accidentally walked into its territory, it would not have jumped out at all. The Swift Mastiff Tiger's longevity depends on its body. The area of ​​​​yellow-brown hair, if it were 10 years later, only the abdomen would be black and white. Looking at it like this, it should only be more than 2000 years old." Shen Yeyan looked at the soul beast in front of him.

Tang San suddenly realized that with the current strength of the two of them, they could certainly handle the 2000-year-old spirit beast.

Shen Yeyan didn't pay attention to the Mastiff Tiger at all. He raised his head and met its fierce eyes. Instead of showing a vigilant look, he slowly took two steps forward.

This is undoubtedly a provocation to the soul beast.

"Brother!" Tang San panicked and wanted to step forward to pull Shen Yeyan back, but was stopped by his movements.

Slightly stunned, Tang San hesitated, but still chose to stand where he was, but never took his eyes away from Shen Yeyan.

One person and one tiger just stared at each other. Not long after, the originally ferocious Mastiff Tiger gradually lost its momentum. It looked quite uncomfortable and took a few steps back. Then it jumped into the place where it first came out and disappeared. not see.

Shen Yeyan turned around with no surprise on his face, which was obviously what he expected.

"As I said just now, the Swift Mastiff Tiger is good at speed but lacks in attack. It usually uses intimidation and speed to drag down the enemy to death. However, this kind of spirit beast is rare and not many people know about it. Naturally, it will easily succeed it. . And the best way to deal with this Mastiff Tiger is to show that you are not afraid of it at all. A soul master like this is either ignorant or emboldened, but of course it will not take risks in order to survive, and will leave on its own soon."

Seeing Shen Yeyan exuding confidence, Tang San was slightly stunned, only feeling that the person in front of him was really good at everything.

"...So when you encounter this spirit beast in the future, the easiest way to drive it away is to take a few steps forward, stand in front of it and stare at it. However, if you find that the difference in strength is too big, it is better to run away first." Shen Yeyan said a few more words, but found that Tang San was staring at him blankly, a little helpless, "Xiao San, what are you doing? Why are you so stunned? Did you hear what I said?"

He nodded subconsciously, and when Tang San came back to his senses, he saw Shen Yeyan tilting his head and looking at him with raised eyebrows.

Tang San felt a little guilty: "Ahem, senior brother, what did you just say? Can you say it again?"

Patting his forehead, Shen Yeyan sighed and glared at Tang San, but looking at the man with a somewhat flattering expression, he explained to him again.

Seeing Tang San nodding in understanding, Shen Yeyan took the lead and walked forward: "Next time, if you are distracted when I am talking about the key points, don't expect me to teach you anything else."

Tang San hurriedly caught up, but deliberately fell half a step behind the person next to him: "I know I was wrong, senior brother, I promise I won't do it next time!"

Shen Yeyan glared at him angrily and said nothing more.

The two of them continued walking towards the inner perimeter.

The spirit beasts they met along the way were not too old, and they were not even older than the Mastiff Tiger. The two of them basically avoided confronting them, or knocked them unconscious, and did not harm the lives of these spirit beasts. .

If he encounters a spirit beast that Tang San doesn't know much about or has never seen before, Shen Yeyan will also introduce it to him.

The sun was shining brightly and it was noon.

The rays of light emitted by the sun are divided into many mottled lights and shadows scattered on the ground by the lush branches and leaves of the Star Forest.

Shen Yeyan was sitting with Tang San under a tall tree to enjoy the shade. They had already eaten the lunch they had prepared.

The two of them were not particular about eating and sleeping, so they took advantage of their rest time to talk and laugh happily.

Suddenly, Shen Yeyan looked to the side as if aware. There was a tall bush there, which was swaying and making a "swishing" sound.

Tang San looked at the bushes warily.

After a while, a slender animal's front legs stepped out from the bushes, with blue background and white stripes, like snowflakes covering the ice.

Immediately afterwards, the owner of this leg jumped out, revealing his entire body.

Just like the front leg that first appeared in front of the two of them, it has a blue base and white patterns "embroidered" on it in circles. There is a white pattern similar to a snowflake in the center of the forehead. It's just that it hasn't taken shape yet, with a pair of pure white horns on both sides of its ears, making it look like an elf in the academy.

Tang San didn't feel any threat from this spirit beast, and Shen Yeyan felt relieved when he saw it.

"This is a snow deer. As its name suggests, the beast is covered with snowflake-like patterns all over its body, especially on its forehead. They are famous among spirit beasts for being gentle and friendly. As long as you don't attack it or show hostility, the snow deer is I’d be happy to make friends with you.”

Tang San nodded and saw the snow deer cautiously taking a few steps toward them. Now the distance between the two of them and the spirit beast was only a little more than one meter.

Shen Yeyan didn't get up, just watched Xue Lu walking towards the two of them.

Since he felt no malice from Shen Yeyan and Tang San, Xuelu became bolder and walked up to Shen Yeyan, his big watery eyes filled with confusion and curiosity.

Slowly raising his left hand, Xuelu shrank back subconsciously. Shen Yeyan did not take back his hand, and kept his hand raised in the air.

The snow deer was no longer afraid and moved closer. At this point, Shen Yeyan also put his hand on its neck, stroking it up and down.

"Among the terrestrial soul beasts, deer are the most psychic, and among them, Bai Ze and the snow deer are the most psychic. Bai Ze is rare to see in a hundred years, but snow deer is much easier to see in comparison." Shen Yeyan was worried about the one in front of him. The snow deer follows its fur.

While talking to Tang San, he looked into the depths of the forest: "Soul masters rely on the length of their antlers and the number of snowflake patterns formed on their foreheads to distinguish their age. One antler is 1 years old, and antlers with three inches are 1000 years old. It takes 100 years for the top of the antlers to bifurcate. If it reaches the 10-year stage, then the antlers will stop at the most suitable length and no longer change. The snowflake pattern on the forehead will disappear, and there will be a suspended in the center of the antlers that they have condensed. , energy crystals in the shape of snowflakes, this is the essence of the snow deer, and it is also of great significance to them."

Tang San listened carefully: "So, this snow deer is about 400 years old, right senior brother?"

"That's right." Shen Yeyan nodded and returned his gaze to the snow deer, "Xiaosan, come over and touch it too."

Tang San was stunned: "Me?"

Shen Yeyan paused and looked at Tang San: "Yes, come and give it a try, Snow Deer is very friendly."

Standing up and walking over, Tang San hesitantly stretched out his hand, imitating Shen Yeyan's example and gently caressing the snow deer's back.

The snow deer was still docile, it even leaned towards Tang San spontaneously.

"Don't touch its antlers and the snowflake pattern on its forehead. Just touch the other parts along the fur."

Following Shen Yeyan's method, Tang San helped the snow deer along the fine hair on its back, and received a few comfortable chirps and closeness from the snow deer, which made Tang San couldn't help but curl his lips and laugh.

Shen Yeyan leaned against the big tree behind him and looked at the warm scene in front of him with his lips raised.

But he still had some doubts in his heart.

"Strange...Snow deer have always lived in groups, and they either live in extremely cold places or by cold and humid lakes. Generally, they will not easily leave their territory within 1 years, and this one..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of leaves and branches being rubbed from the place where the snow deer had just appeared.

A larger snow deer with more distinct patterns on its body flew out. When it saw the two people, the deer stopped and lowered its head as if relieved.

It stopped, and Shen Yeyan and Tang San could see clearly that it was a snow deer that was about 6000 years old, with antlers over half a meter long, and five delicate snowflake patterns on its forehead and one that was not fully formed.

The snow deer that appeared later was not afraid of humans. It took the lead and walked up to the little snow deer to make sure it was okay. Tang San also consciously stopped his hand and took a few steps away.

The two snow deer kept chirping in a low voice, as if they were communicating. Finally, the little snow deer lowered its head and rubbed the neck of the thousand-year-old snow deer in a flattering manner, and it reluctantly stopped "preaching".

Tang San felt that this scene seemed a bit familiar. He turned around and saw Shen Yeyan looking at him with a half-smile.

Tang San:"……"

Fortunately, Xiao Xuelu quickly relieved his embarrassment, finished communicating with Wannian Xuelu, and after receiving permission, he ran towards Tang San like a joyful child.

Tang San hugged it helplessly and continued to smooth the little snow deer's fur, but he was undoubtedly secretly relieved.

Wannian Xuelu looked at Shen Yeyan who was sitting on the grass leaning against the big tree, and looked at him curiously as he approached.

Suddenly, it stopped suddenly, then accelerated and walked to Shen Yeyan's side.

Wannian Xuelu stretched her head to his shoulder and gently licked Shen Yeyan's cheek.

This is the Snow Deer clan's way of expressing friendship.

The little snow deer didn't know, it just felt that Shen Yeyan's breath was very comfortable, but it quickly recognized Shen Yeyan's half-beast identity.

For many years, it has been difficult for half-beasts to survive. In recent years, the situation has become more and more serious. Although the soul beasts are not very optimistic about the love between humans and soul beasts, they still treat half-beasts very well. Regarding the current situation of half-beasts and The soul beasts also understand the behavior of those greedy humans.

It alone has rescued several half-beasts and sent them to Lingzong.

The half-beast in front of him was stronger than those he had saved, and his aura was closer to the soul beast, so he must have suffered a lot.

Thinking of this, Wannian Xuelu couldn't help but feel even more sorry for Shen Yeyan. He knelt down in front of Shen Yeyan with his limbs slightly bent. This was a sign that Xuelu, who was older, highly recognized him.

Shen Yeyan was stunned, and he also guessed that Wannian Xuelu had misunderstood something. After all, no one could guess his identity as the young master of the Ling Sect.

Smiling softly, Shen Yeyan did not explain, but hugged Wannian Snow Deer's neck covered with white and blue patterns, and rubbed it like the little Snow Deer did before.

Quite comfortable.

'Hello, half-beast, my name is Shuangxue. '

A sudden voice sounded in Shen Yeyan's mind. It was a very gentle male voice.

'Hello, my name is Shen Yeyan. 'No panic, Shen Yeyan quickly replied.

A soul beast that is over 5 years old has already opened its spiritual intelligence, not to mention it is an extremely psychic Snow Deer.

Shen Yeyan's voice was very low and blocked by the frost and snow. From Tang San's perspective, Shen Yeyan was just leaning against the thousand-year-old snow deer. They seemed to have a good relationship with each other, but no other sounds could be heard.

'That's my nephew Shuangxing. I wanted to take him out to relax, but unexpectedly he got lost. But luckily I met you and...'

'Tang San. Shen Yeyan reminded, "My junior brother." '

'Tang San, um... I felt a very ordinary and familiar aura from that child. '

Shen Yeyan said: "His martial spirit is blue silver grass." '

'No wonder...' Shuangxue suddenly realized.

"Senior brother." Tang San called out, but kept moving his hands, "Tell me more about the snow deer."

Shuangxue lowered her body lower, resting her head on Shen Yeyan's legs, and tilted her head to try to keep her antlers as far away as possible, obviously not objecting to what he was going to say.

"Snow deer are quite friendly to humans, and they are even more friendly to spirit beasts. Even though they are so docile, they are also unambiguous when fighting. Snow deer live in groups, the group is united, and they have many friends. They may even be a little exaggerated in their spirit. There are friends in the teacher, but no soul beast is willing to offend." Shen Yeyan ran his hand down Shuangxue's back, and couldn't help but smile on his lips.

Tang San looked slightly surprised at Shuangxing, who was rubbing comfortably in his arms.

"So, the Snow Deer clan with the most 10-year-old soul beasts on Douluo Continent may be the Snow Deer clan that does not cause trouble and is not afraid of trouble. But in addition to the soul rings and soul bones, this Snow Deer also has one more thing that attracts soul masters. Then It’s the snowflake crystal I just told you about.”

Hearing this, Shuangxue felt something was wrong and wanted to raise her head, but Shen Yeyan pressed her hair down.

"Snowflake crystals contain extremely pure energy, which is what soul masters with the ultimate martial soul or attributes want most. After the death of Snow Deer, this crystal will be preserved and can be absorbed by anyone, but it will usually be absorbed by it. The tribesmen take it back and preserve it.”

When it comes to the ultimate martial spirit, the first thing Tang San thinks of is Ma Hongjun. Although his flame has been mutated, it can be regarded as an alternative ultimate attribute.

Shen Yeyan knew what Tang San was thinking as soon as he looked at him thoughtfully. He shook his head: "Until Ma Hongjun's martial spirit is completely cleared of impurities, this snowflake crystal cannot even be touched."

Tang San hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Senior brother, wouldn't a powerful spirit master want to snatch such a good thing?"

"Of course." Shen Yeyan glanced at him, "But the number of ultimate soul masters is pitiful, not to mention that the snowflake crystals are not that easy to get, and there is an unwritten rule on the Douluo Continent. If you encounter a snow deer, Avoid it if you can, and don't conflict with it unless you have to."

Speaking of this, Shen Yeyan felt a sudden warm and wet feeling on his hand, which was frost and snow.

It bit Shen Yeyan's hand. It didn't hurt and didn't even leave any teeth marks.

Shen Yeyan smiled and touched its head soothingly: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
