The periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Under the towering giant trees, Lin Jing's seven people advanced rapidly in a spindle-shaped formation. Along the way, a lot of low-level soul beasts were disturbed.

In addition to Lin Jing, two of the remaining six people were led by the Soul Saint, and the other four were members of the Martial Spirit Hall who needed to hunt soul rings.

"There's a dreadclaw dark golden bear in front of you, more than a thousand years old." The first soul saint had done the work of hunting souls for so long, and he could also recognize the types and approximate years of most soul beasts.

"It's a pity." A young man in his twenties and thirties behind the Soul Saint was a little regretful, what he needed was the fourth soul ring, although the Dreadclaw Dark Golden Bear was good, but it was a little low for a thousand years.

"Hmm..."A young man of about seventeen years old on the side looked very hesitant.

"Be sober, you're a keen attacker! Although this bear is strong, it is not for you. Lin Jing guessed the young man's thoughts, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Okay." The boy was a little lost, and the dreadclaw dark golden bear was both powerful and handsome, and he liked it.

...

Brush –

A dark shadow swept to the right of the crowd.

"There is a situation, be careful. Lin Jing, you look at Maddie. The Soul Saint at the head said. Maddie is the hesitant boy just now, the only soul venerable in the team.

The seven people changed their formation, the two soul saints were at one end, and the five people in the middle stood back to back, in a circle.

Woooo

Among the trees, the black shadow appeared and disappeared from time to time, and continued to swim around everyone through the shelter of the trees.

Roar –

Sensing the movement, the Dreadclaw Darkgold Bear straightened up and let out a roar before retreating to the side.

This seemingly tense scene is the daily life in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Soul Saint led by him did not release the soul ring, they came to hunt the soul beast, and it was easy to scare away the suitable soul beast by releasing the soul ring at will.

Woooo

The shadows seemed to appear more frequently, and the seven seemed to be surrounded in the forest.

At a certain moment, Lin Jing's gaze caught two black shadows at the same time.

"More than one soul beast." Lin Jing said loudly.

"Three." The Soul Saint who was the leader had obviously noticed it, squinting his eyes and looking around carefully.

Two dark shadows suddenly stopped, clinging to the trunk of the tree. Lin Jing instantly recognized this soul beast - the Bone Nail Mantis.

This soul beast named the Bone Nail Mantis is extremely domineering and full of territory. Although this soul beast itself is not very powerful, the Bone Nail Mantis is a kind of soul beast that lives in groups, and each Bone Nail Mantis will produce a leader in the population to lead the population to defend its territory.

Although the bone nail mantis is a praying mantis, its appearance is quite different from that of ordinary praying mantises. In addition to the two mantis claws of the praying mantis itself, the bone nail mantis also has two special limbs on its abdomen, and the front end of the limb is a slender tapered bone nail. The head also hides a pair of spider-like teeth in its massive annular mouthparts.

The gray bone nail mantis of the body is cultivated under the millennium. When it reaches the millennium level, it undergoes a molt, its entire body turns black, and a spiral pattern appears on the bone nails. And it is not until the cultivation has evolved to the level of 10,000 years that it will molt again, and its whole body will turn into a silver-white metallic color.

On the trees, the mantis claws of the two bone nail mantis lit up with a dim white light, and then the mantis claws waved. As if the mantis claw had been copied, the white light condensed into the shape of a mantis claw and flew out, spinning into two disc-shaped flying blades.

"Humph!" The Soul Saint who was the leader snorted coldly, and seven soul rings appeared, rhythming up and down.

There were puddles of water on the forest floor, and in a few breaths it became muddy.

The Soul Saint's body was surrounded by several circles of mud, and earthy brown patterns appeared on his bare skin. With the Soul Saint as the center, a circular quagmire wall rose from the ground, and the ground inside the wall had become like a swamp. Several pillars of filthy mud popped off the ground and slammed into the disc-shaped flying blades.

Martial spirits, mire monsters. The situation of this soul saint is similar to Lin Jing, and the martial soul is also a rare special soul beast.

After the quagmire wall encircled it, a soul ring on the soul saint's body spread out a deep black.

Sixth Soul Skill, Slow Stand.

The earthy brown light enveloped everything inside the mud wall, and the three black shadows seemed to turn into slow motion in an instant, so that even Maddie, who had the lowest level of soul power, could see clearly.

Seeing this, the yellow and purple light on the soul saint's body lit up continuously, and the mud on the ground seemed to be boiling, bubbling with steam.

This startled the surrounding trees with seven or eight gray bone nail praying mantises.

...

After a while, three bone nail praying mantis wrapped in mud into zongzi were thrown in front of everyone, and several yellow soul rings were faintly visible in the surrounding forests.

"Do you know this soul beast?" The Soul Saint at the head asked Lin Jing.

"Acquaintance." Lin nodded.

There was a hint of relief on the Soul Saint's face, which he didn't recognize. If it weren't for Lin Jing, he would probably be embarrassed today.

"Can you confirm the age of these ones?"

"Well, yes. Teacher, can you expose the bone nail on the mantis's abdomen? Lin Jing said.

"Okay." The Soul Saint nodded, controlling the mud to expose the bellies of the three praying mantises.

The bodies of the three praying mantis are all black, apparently more than a thousand years old. Lin Jing carefully observed the bone nails on the abdomen of the praying mantis, and there were four spiral patterns on the bone nails of the two praying mantises, and one had five circles.

"These two are less than 5,000 years old, and this one is more than 5,000 years old." Lin Jing observed for a moment, then raised his head and said.

"Sister Mengting, it's quite suitable for you." Lin Jing turned his head to look at Huang Mengting again.

"This one is kind of ugly." Huang Mengting hesitated. As a girl, she refuses to be an ugly soul beast in her heart.

"No wonder you can play with Lin Yin...," Lin Jing quietly complained in his heart.

"Who knows, when I turn into a soul ring, I'll tell them when I turn around, it's a crystal mantis with a purple body." The Soul Saint on the side was obviously very experienced with this situation.

When Lin Jing heard this, his eyes lit up, a good reason. So he gave the soul saint a thumbs up covertly.

Huang Mengting nodded, made up her mind, took out a special long sword and aimed at the head of the mantis and stabbed it.

A moment later, a purple soul ring rose, radiating a glow through the dark trees.

After seeing Huang Mengting sit cross-legged and pull the soul ring away, the soul saint asked again.

"Who else needs this kind of soul beast?"

Among the remaining three, one of them raised his hand, his martial soul was a scimitar, and this mantis was also suitable for him.

Among the last two remaining two, the cultivation of the three praying mantis of Maddie is a little high. And that young man in his twenties and thirties was a soul master of the strong attack system of a blunt weapon martial soul, and the praying mantis was not suitable for him.

...

After the scimitar martial soul boy dragged away another purple soul ring, the mud wrapped around the bone nail mantis that had been cultivated for more than five thousand years shrank, and another purple soul ring rose.

Then, the soul saint released soul power fluctuations to sweep the corpses of the three praying mantises, and when he found that there were no soul bones, he threw the corpses aside, took out a bottle and opened it, and sprinkled a special potion on the corpse.

"My lord, what is this?" Lin Jing had never seen such a thing.

"A potion to mask the smell, specially made by our Soul Hunters." The Soul Saint laughed.

"Is this for sale?" Lin Jing was a little interested.

This potion has some use for him, and it is a must-have for murder and arson.

"Well, generally speaking, it is not sold to the outside world, but you can get it from the inside if you find some connections." The Soul Saint said truthfully.

"Thank you, sir." Lin Jing bowed his head to express his gratitude.

...

Lin Jing and his entourage were experiencing a long wait.

At this time, the light in the forest was very dim, and there were faint beast roars in the forest, and only the two soul saints around them could give everyone a sense of safety.

"Alright." Huang Mengting took the lead in completing the absorption of the soul ring, and a touch of joy climbed on her face.

"Where's the soul technique? Attacking soul skills? Lin Jing asked.

"Hmm." Huang Mengting turned her head to look at the Soul Saint, and after the Soul Saint nodded slightly, four soul rings rose on her body.

A pair of purple butterfly wings condensed behind Huang Mengting, and the butterfly wings were dazzling. The purple soul ring lit up, and the butterfly wings slammed into it. Two purple phantoms turned into swirls and flew out, instantly forming purple disc-shaped flying blades. Then, two flying blades collided in the air to form a larger disc that flew towards a tree.

Bang –

A wall of mud appeared in front of the tree to block the blade, but the blade also cut a deep cut in the mud wall.

"The soul skill is called Butterfly Wing Slash, and that's the effect." The corners of Huang Mengting's mouth raised slightly, obviously very satisfied with the attack soul technique.

The Butterfly Wing Slash is not only an attack soul skill, but also a group attack soul skill and a single attack soul skill, making the tactics of the control system soul master more abundant.
