The soul beast survival area, also known as the soul beast ecological area. Nature, as the literal meaning suggests, is the place where soul beasts live. In this brand-new Douluo World, because of the wider geographical area, there are naturally more and more abundant soul beast ecological areas.

Among all the soul beast ecological regions, the soul beast forest is undoubtedly the largest, the most existing soul beasts, and the most comprehensive type of soul beasts. There are many soul beast forests, such as the most famous Star Dou Great Forest is one of them.

Because of this, it also means that the soul beasts in this forest ecology are very messy, and the vast majority of soul masters do not choose to find all the soul rings here, they often choose to go to some ecological areas with fixed types of soul beasts according to their specific needs.

For example, the world tree where only plant-type soul beasts and wood-attribute soul beasts exist, the Baimu Trench, which is loved by aquatic soul beasts because of its unusually strong soul power, the polar continent where ice-type soul beasts live due to the extremely low temperature, and the infinite Tianshan Mountain, which is shrouded by hurricanes all year round so there are many soul beasts with excellent flying ability, etc.

And Yin Xiaoya, the place where they are now called the Lava Mountain Range is a place that is biased in the category of attributes. Because there is a huge magma flow 100 meters underground, the surface temperature is extremely high, and the people who live here are some soul beasts with excellent fire attribute ability.

In the center of this mountain range, there is an active volcano that has reached a height of nearly 10,000 meters, and even its outline can be faintly seen even if they are now hundreds of kilometers away from it on the periphery, as well as the black smoke gushing from the top of the mountain.

"Ah~~It's so hot~~"

Not long after coming here, Tang Wu began to cry and scream, because of the sweat from the heat, her long whip was soaked and sticking to her neck.

Of course, the most uncomfortable thing is not her, but the junior whose martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. He is naturally restrained by flames, not to mention that his body is Blue Silver Grass. If it was still a 100,000-year soul beast period, he naturally didn't have to worry about this, but now he was just a novice soul master with two soul rings, and these two soul rings would not allow his Blue Silver Grass to evolve the fire immunity ability.

Seeing that these children were almost hot, Su Xuan felt that it was almost over, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, for you who came to the Lava Mountain Range for the first time, its danger level is almost understood, and now it's time to teach you how to resist the heat here." ”

Under her reminder, they noticed that the accompanying teachers, including Su Xuan, not only did they not feel uncomfortable because of the high temperature here, but they didn't even have a little sweat on their faces.

"But if the students come to the Lava Mountain for the first time, they must learn the method of resisting the high temperature on the spot before they can move forward. Under Su Xuan's demonstration and explanation, they understood what was going on, it turned out that they had to use their soul power to form a cyclone around their bodies to separate the heat, of course, this method was useless for flames with hundreds of degrees of heat, but it was no problem to alleviate the heat of dozens of degrees.

Tang Wu, Xiao San, and Fang Xin all have good talents, so it didn't take long for them to learn. As for Ma Hongjun, after all, he didn't even have a soul ring, and his soul power was only level fifteen, so soul power control was too complicated for him. But fortunately, he himself is aiming for the fire attribute, so he should be forced to adapt to the temperature here.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely from the heat but still insisted on not falling behind, Yin Xiaoya nodded, and it could be seen that he was still very obsessed with becoming stronger, and he did not back down because of a little difficulty.

"Former ...... Senior, I understand everyone else, why are you like no one? Don't you have no soul power in your body? ”

Yin Xiaoya proudly pointed to the meteor drive on his waist and said, "As long as you bring this, some of the knight's power will gush out to help me resist the temperature." ”

Everyone including Ma Hongjun raised their eyebrows unhappily, this is really too cheating, even if they can use their soul power to resist, but they will also reduce their physical strength faster because they have been urging their soul power, and Yin Xiaoya can achieve the same effect without using anything, which is really unpleasant.

"Alright, we've walked through the outermost area where there are no soul beasts." After walking for about ten kilometers, Su Xuan stopped, pointed to the various forks in front of him and said, "Before that, we will start to encounter soul beasts." The lava mountain range is not a good place for long-term battles, so in order to avoid unnecessary consumption, we will all determine what kind of soul beast we are looking for before continuing to set off. Little fat man, before leaving, the master should have told you the soul beast that suits you, right? ”

Ma Hongjun nodded, panting and took out a letter from his fat body that was already wet with his sweat and handed it over. Su Xuan's face darkened when he saw the wet letter, and then he said angrily: "You can open it and read it to us yourself." ”

He had no choice but to open the letter in embarrassment and read out what Master Yu Xiaogang had written. According to his situation, the master chose a total of three soul beasts that were suitable for him, namely the Poisonous Fire Needle Scorpion, the Flame-tailed Black Chicken, and the Red Jade Silkworm. When these three soul beasts all spoke, Yin Xiaoya noticed that everyone's faces immediately became bad.

"Master...... It's really embarrassing. ”

"yes, it looks like it's going to be a long battle."

Several accompanying teachers from the higher department said helplessly.

"Is there anything wrong with these three soul beasts?"

Faced with Yin Xiaoya's question, Su Xuan explained the reason, it turned out that the three demonic beasts had their own troubles.

First of all, the poisonous fire needle scorpion, which is a kind of red-armored scorpion with a needle-like tail tip, is a very rare soul beast that fuses poison and flame together, it can be said to be poison in the burning, and the flame temperature is extremely high, once it is invaded by poisonous fire, there is no chance to detoxify at all, it is the most difficult of the three soul beasts to deal with.

Then there is the Yanwei Black Chicken, a bird soul beast whose feathers are all formed from solid black fire. This thing doesn't have a strong combat ability, but it has an extremely perverted ability, and that is the Feathered Clone. Hundreds of clones can be split in an instant, and each clone can maintain the same combat power as the main body for ten minutes. Of course, it won't fight with a clone, because the power of the body is not very strong, as long as the clone is released, it will choose to run away at the first time, so many clones run away in different directions together, so that people have no chance to catch it at all.

The last one is the red jade silkworm, and when the name came out, it was rejected by everyone on the spot. Because it is impossible to encounter at all, not only because it is extremely rare, but also because the location where it lives is very harsh, it has been soaked in magma for many years, and even if it is a thousand-year-level red jade silkworm, it is only the size of a palm, and it is impossible to find it at all.

Although it was very troublesome, everyone still confirmed the target at the first time, that is, the first poisonous fire needle scorpion. This was because everyone present had obtained the anti-poison effect from Twelve when they set out. Although it can't block the toxicity of poisonous fire 100%, it can be regarded as a means of countermeasures.

Now that you've identified your goal, the next step is to find a way to find it. In this regard, Yin Xiaoya took the initiative to take the job. He released all the canned birds, locusts, and octopuses in the system space, and asked them to search for soul beasts instead of everyone.

Looking at everyone's surprised looks, he smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you should avoid consumption, these little guys of mine are all experts in exploration, so I can leave the work to them with peace of mind." It's definitely faster than the rest of us. ”

"Uh...... So what do we do now? ”

The most troublesome exploration work was dispensed with, and everyone didn't know what to do for a while.

"You forgot? This time, it's not just to find a soul beast for Ma Hongjun, but also to make him a Kamen Rider. This also needs a soul beast, but this soul beast doesn't need to be found, I know where it is. While those little guys are looking for the Poison Fire Needle Scorpion, please help me subdue this soul beast. ”

As long as it is a soul beast that can be used to unlock Kamen Rider's power, the system can locate its location within a certain range. As soon as you enter this lava mountain, the system marks the locations of many soul beasts, all of which can unlock the power of a certain Kamen Rider.

And among them, there happens to be a soul beast, which is suitable for unlocking the ghost fork in Ma Hongjun's hand. Yes, the knight prop that was given to him at the beginning was the tunogi fork used to transform into a ghost warrior in the Kamen Rider Hibiki series. It's just that this ghost fork corresponds to which ghost knight in the original work,The system didn't tell you.,Just said that it's definitely not the main riding ghost.。

The problem is that there are a lot of ghost warriors who appear in the Hibiki series, and in the setting of that worldview, there are a lot of ghost warriors who specialize in dealing with ghosts, and the image of each ghost warrior is different according to their own differences.

Although in the Douluo world, they can reproduce their posture according to the corresponding soul beasts, Yin Xiaoya has a hunch that the soul beasts selected by the system are likely not to reproduce a fixed ghost warrior, but will change into a new ghost man because of Ma Hongjun. Of course, this is just his guess, and the most important thing at the moment is to find the soul beast designated by the system first.

The group followed Yin Xiaoya, walking for about a dozen kilometers, and finally stopped at a place with surface magma. As far as the eye can see, these surface lava resemble bifurcated streams, intricately coiled in a stone forest. The stones in the stone forest are dozens of meters high, and the lowest one is two or three meters high, so the vision is very bad when walking inside, and because it is close to the magma, this stone forest has been burned red, and the temperature is so high that even if everyone resists with soul power, it is very uncomfortable.

"Scorched Stone Forest? Where is the soul beast you're looking for? ”

As soon as Su Xuan arrived, he pulled Yin Xiaoya and asked.

"Well, it should be around here."

After getting confirmed, Su Xuan and the other teachers present looked bad again, which made Yin Xiaoya confused.

"We probably know which soul beast you're looking for."

"Huh? You're just going to know it here? ”

Su Xuan helplessly held his forehead: "There is only one kind of soul beast living here, do you think we don't know?" It's not that we're against it, but we don't have a chance of winning against them with our hands right now. ”

"They? I only need one head, what do you mean? ”

"Woo !!!"

As soon as Yin Xiaoya asked, everyone heard the sound of birds screaming from the stone forest, and it was not one, there were hundreds of birds screaming at the same time. Hearing this voice, he finally understood what Su Xuan meant.

"Could it be that the same kind of soul beast lives here?"

Su Xuan nodded: "Isn't it, and there are a lot of them, according to uncertain statistics, there are no less than 100 cultivators who have cultivated for more than a thousand years alone." And they attach great importance to the bloodline of their offspring, as long as someone deals with one of them, even if it is only a few decades, they must be prepared to be attacked by them. Not to mention humans, didn't you see that we started to get closer to here, and the number of soul beasts we saw also decreased? It's because the soul beast also knows that the guys who live here are not easy to mess with. ”

After Su Xuan's words, another teacher said: "Although this is just a rumor, its credibility is relatively true. It is said that the leader of this group is an individual who is up to 50,000 years old, and his strength is very strong. ”

Yin Xiaoya gasped, but think about it carefully, huh? No, he saw the point marked by the system, obviously there was only one, if this is a soul beast of the same race, how could there be only one?

"System, what the hell is going on?"

[They are not wrong in saying that the place is true, this is indeed the place where the soul beasts of the same race live, but the system is not wrong to mark, in this group, there is only one that can unlock the existence of the tuning ghost fork. However, what exactly is going on can only be determined after the host has seen its body with their own eyes.]

Where is this? Yin Xiaoya really wants to complain.

"Su Xuan, what is the name of the soul beast you are talking about?"

The other party looked at him speechlessly: "You brought us here yourself, you don't know it yourself?" ”

"Uh...... It's a bit of a struggle, so let's understand. ”

"Alas, there is a group of soul beasts named Ghost-faced Griffins living here, with an eagle head with strange patterns, a body like a lion, and a pair of wings on their backs, and a fiery red body. Their flames have very strong physical attacks, and it is said that individuals over 5,000 years old can use lava as bath water. ”

Magma should be used as bath water, how strong does it have to be, and it's not one end, it's a group. But it's unclear why only one of them can unlock Knight Power.

"Well, it seems necessary to go in and investigate."
