Volume 2 The Battle for the Soul Chapter 18 The Ghost Wolf
The leader nodded. After all, this involves a lot of soul grass, which is a lot of wealth, and he can't help but be careless.
Han Xiao was on the tree, and when he heard the word "soul grass", he was also happy. Soul Grass is a second-grade elixir, but unlike most elixirs, its effect is on the soul. It has the miraculous effect of nourishing the soul.
After knowing the situation of Xuan Lao and Luo Xi, Han Xiao had been paying attention to the news of elixirs that could help souls. He had searched for it on the light brain, but it was all three or four elixirs. Its expensive price is simply not something he can afford. He had also searched for the soul grass of the second grade, but at present, there was no relevant information in Moon City and several nearby cities.
I didn't expect to get the news of the soul grass here. Han Xiao immediately suppressed his excitement, if he missed now, not to mention that the soul grass was impossible to get, it would be a problem to even get out. The pair rested here for nearly two hours before setting out again.
During this time, Han Xiao also got some news through their conversations. This is a small one-star mercenary group. The head of the regiment is the leader just now. His name is Reilly, a five-star cultivator. His two deputies, one is a three-star gas and the other is a two-star gas car. As for the thirty-four members of the seven-star or higher body refining team.
Although it is only a small mercenary group, its strength should not be underestimated. Their target was those soul grasses, but in order to deal with the demon beasts that the mustache said, they set off as a group. An unknown demon beast above the second level, no matter how careful it is, it can't be overstated.
Han Xiao hung far behind. Fortunately, he has the secret of breathing taught by Xuan Lao, otherwise he would not guarantee that he will not be discovered.
Most of the day passed, and since the demon beasts along the way were all wiped out by this mercenary group, Han Xiao was also happy to follow behind to save some effort. After passing through a small canyon, the mercenary group stopped and repaired in place. Han Xiao's heart moved, maybe their destination was almost there.
Sure enough, I saw the mustache pointing to a small forest in front of him, dancing and saying something. Although Han Xiao couldn't hear it clearly because of the distance, he could guess from the vigilant expressions of all the members of the mercenary group that the location of the soul grass was ahead, that is, the lair of the demon beast.
Led by Reilly, the members of the mercenary group are divided into two groups. One way Reilly took the lead, and the other two deputies took the lead, outflanking from both sides of the grove.
Han Xiao restrained his aura with all his strength and cautiously followed behind the team led by Reilly. In a few moments, they had passed through the grove and were in front of a cave several feet high. Han Xiao tiptoed to a nearby tree, found a place with a good view, and hidden.
As far as the eye can see, this is a mountain wall, and there are many caves densely scattered on the mountain wall. But it's obviously not as big as it was at first. Suddenly, Han Xiao saw that less than a zhang into the entrance of the big cave, there were three small gray grasses, rooted on the rocks, which looked very inconspicuous.
Han Xiao was a little embarrassed, he didn't know if this gray grass was a soul grass or not. Therefore, he could only enter the crystal space and ask Xuan Lao. Immediately after receiving a positive return, in this place where danger may occur at any time, there is no difference between not being conscious and sending him to death.
However, Han Xiao also secretly made up his mind that when he had time, he would consult Xuan Lao about various elixirs in the world, otherwise even if he was lucky enough to encounter the Heaven and Earth Spirit Grass, he would miss it because he didn't know him, and it would be sad. He wants to become an alchemist, and his identification of elixir and spiritual herbs is also one of the foundations.
Reilly gestured, and the two men next to him nodded. Slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave, but his expression was also a little nervous. Until they carefully obtained a soul grass, there were no accidents. The unknown monster that the mustache said also did not appear.
"Could it be that the demon beast is not at home now?" Han Xiao frowned and said secretly. Originally, he also wanted to be a fisherman, and when the mercenary group and the demon beasts were both defeated, he would snatch the soul grass. But the monster's absence disrupted his plans. He alone didn't dare to be tough on this entire mercenary group.
At this time, a similar thought to Han Xiao flashed in Rayleigh's heart, it was really good luck, the demon beast was not there, so there was a lot less risk. Reilly walked straight and put away the rest of the Soul Grass and placed it in a backpack. Not everyone can afford a crystal ring.
After picking the soul grass, Rayleigh thought for a moment, and then walked towards the cave with his two deputies. It seems that he wants to clean up the monster's family. Han Xiao was a little unwilling to leave, so she simply stayed where she was and waited quietly.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Reilly rushed out of the cave, his face excited. He walked quickly to the two squads, waved his right hand, and said, "Everyone evacuate quickly!" At this time, he held a large bag in his left hand, which seemed to contain something.
Han Xiao looked at it fixedly, and vaguely saw that the big bag would occasionally move a few times. "What is this? Is it a living thing?" Han Xiao was a little curious, so he followed the mercenary group far behind him again.
Nearly an hour later, just when Han Xiao had lost hope in the soul grass and was about to leave, a beast roar came from a distance, startling a large number of birds, and hurriedly flapping their wings and fleeing.
After hearing this beast roar, Reilly secretly said "not good", and urged the entire team to speed up again and flee in the opposite direction of the beast roar. Han Xiao's eyes lit up, he felt that his opportunity had finally come!
After pulling away for a distance again, Han Xiao was relieved to follow behind him. Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, more than ten miles away from Han Xiao, the beast's roar got closer and closer, and it rushed towards the mercenary group. Even from a distance of more than ten miles, Han Xiao could see that large cloud of gray smoke.
Hurriedly stopped, Han Xiao didn't want to meet that obviously strong demon beast. If you are mistaken for a fellow party and swallow it in one bite, it is not fun. He chose the tallest tree nearby, and sat down at the top of the tree, his eyes searching for the figure of the beast's roar.
Suddenly, Han Xiao's eyes shrank. I saw that ten miles away, a behemoth was roaring, approaching the mercenary group at an alarming speed. With less than a cup of tea, it stopped in front of the team. And Han Xiao really saw the face of the demon beast clearly at this time.
I saw a giant wolf three or four feet long appear in the smoke and dust in the sky. The giant wolf was gray all over, his eyes flashing with a faint green light, and he was staring at the big bag in Han Li's hand. Huge claws swept across the ground at will, leaving claw marks several feet deep.
Just when Han Xiao was shocked, he only heard a voice that was extremely frightened, and said tremblingly: "This... This is the Yin Soul Wolf, a second-level high-grade demon beast, almost third-level, I... We're done..."
Next, Han Xiao witnessed a one-sided massacre. I saw the ghost wolf roar loudly, and spit out a cloud of gray smoke from the wolf's mouth. The gray smoke spread quickly, and in an instant, it overwhelmed the entire mercenary group, and only Reilly barely escaped from the enveloping range of the smoke.
When the smoke cleared, Han Xiao found that everyone was standing still, and there was no sign of injury on their bodies. But when a gust of wind blew, everyone fell straight to the ground, without a trace of life.
"Hey, the Yin Soul Wolf is good at directly destroying the souls of living things, it's true!" Han Xiao knew the gray mist just now, it was the Yin Soul Wolf's innate Soul Devouring Mist. As long as the opponent's soul is not strong enough, it is almost impossible to escape the fate of the soul.
Reilly, who was the first to escape, saw this scene and his face changed greatly, and he ran away without looking back. Not to mention that he only has five stars of Qi Transformation, and there is a huge gap between him and the Yin Soul Wolf. Even if he is at the peak of Qi transformation, he is not necessarily the opponent of the Yin Soul Wolf.
The Ghost Wolf didn't give Rayleigh much time to escape. With a slight leap of its body, it stepped dozens of feet away. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Reilly in front of him.
"Don't kill me, I'll give you back your son!" Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, Reilly was terrified. I didn't care about the contents of the bag, so I threw it back, and ran away again.
It grabbed the bag in its mouth, but it was clear that it had no intention of letting Reilly go. Suddenly, he accelerated, and instantly came behind Reilly. The huge front paws stretched out, and only a "tear" accompanied by a heart-rending scream could be heard, and Reilly was torn in half. Since then, the one-star mercenary group has been wiped out!
When Han Xiao was secretly frightened, a small gray head stretched out from the bag. After seeing the giant wolf, he let out a cheerful "whine" and crawled out of the bag, which turned out to be a small ghost wolf. The ghost wolf bit the wolf and threw it back, and the wolf landed firmly behind it and walked away.
"It turned out to be someone else's cub, no wonder the ghost wolf was able to track it all the way here. Han Xiao suddenly came to his senses. Originally, he thought that it was just some spirit grass, and the ghost wolf should not be able to make such a big move, so it turned out that he was here to save his own child.
Seeing that the Yin Soul Wolf had already gone away, Han Xiao came down from the top of the big tree and quickly arrived at the original battle venue. Looking at the devastation all over the ground, Han Xiao was once again secretly surprised by the terrifying strength of the giant wolf. But when he saw the objects all over the floor, he was overjoyed.
The ghost wolf killed dozens of people in the entire mercenary group, but ordinary demon beasts would not use human items, so they were discarded on the ground at will. But this happened to be cheaper than Han Xiao! After a while, Han Xiao put away all the objects on the ground and sorted them into categories. After taking inventory, there were a total of six soul grasses, several antidotes and hemostatic drugs, a stack of fantasy coins, a few small boxes, and some other messy things.
Although because of the existence of the optical brain now, paper money is generally not needed. But after all, there are some places where you can't use the light brain because of restrictions. Therefore, many people also have the habit of carrying paper money with them.
After receiving the banknotes and soul grass into the Gu Yu Crystal Ring, Han Xiao set his eyes on the small boxes.
