Chapter 25: The Howling Beast
Several men took turns guarding the desert and spent a peaceful night on the border of the sand and fire desert. Early in the morning, Captain Dib ordered him to continue on his way. The location of the howling beast is uncertain, so it can only look around in the vast sand and fire desert, and when it encounters a soul beast that takes the initiative to attack, it has to fight.
Everyone aimlessly searched around in the sand and fire desert. Xu Haole followed everyone around, took down the valuable place of the soul beast, and put it into the Void Moon Ring.
Captain Dibu complained to Lu Qi: "This bounty will only be accepted by fools, it is possible to not find it in a few days, and it is also possible to be killed by other teams passing by, we shouldn't come, just break the contract and throw two hundred soul marrow." ”
Lu Qi was complained silently, and Captain Dibu vented his temper. Dejectedly, he said: "Forget it, that's it for today, I'm going to find a place with stones to rest." ”
It was getting late, and everyone was looking for a day with nothing, the endless Gobi, and there were hidden crises everywhere, Xu Hao and others found a big stone and were just about to rest.
A strange voice made everyone feel creepy, the voice was sad and desperate, and it made people feel depressed when they heard it, and Lu Qi was already a little sobbing: "I haven't been home for more than a year, I miss my mother." I want to go home. ”
Xu Hao was unmoved, feeling everyone's abnormality, Xu Hao pinched Captain Dibu hard: "Are you hallucinating?"
Captain Dibu was pinched like this, as if he had woken up from a dream, and stood up and kicked the three men to the ground. "Howling beast. It's the howling beast coming. ”
"Howling beast?" several people stood up one after another, eager to try.
"Xu Hao, didn't you fall for its illusion?"
"I don't know, I see you're suddenly depressed. I think there's a problem. Xu Hao shrugged and said.
"Listen to me, the ability of the howling beast is to wail, and those who listen to it will lose control of their emotions, which is an illusion. Now everyone is looking for something to plug their ears. This will reduce our chances of being able to spell it. ”
"Don't stuff it yet, I'll finish the tactics, and you will stuff it again. Captain Dib commanded.
"Xu Hao, I don't know your soul method, but I feel that your spiritual power is strong, you can pull us back when we are in the illusion, and the way is to hurt us just now. If it hurts, it is pulled to reality. Got it?"
Xu Hao nodded.
"Ye Hu, Miao Neng, you are still at the forefront. After Lu Qi and I copied it, they attacked. ”
Ye Hu and Miao Neng both nodded, "Lu Qi, there are countless sharp thorns on the back of the howling beast, unlike soul beasts such as the spiked rat, they will not attack, they are just sharp thorns for defense, and our target is in the back of the head." Got it?"
"Okay, all ears and ready to fight. Captain Dibu said earnestly.
These people ran really fast, Xu Hao was left dozens of feet away after a while, and there was really a qualitative difference between a body soul warrior and a sorcerer soul warrior.
Xu Hao came to the howling beast, the four of them had already started fighting, Miao Neng held a sword in his left hand and a shield in his right, fighting and retreating, and the howling beast waved at Miao Neng with its sharp claws.
Miao Neng keenly used his shield to resist every attack of the howling beast, Xu Hao wanted to trap the howling beast in the water prison, and measured the shape of the howling beast, and his soul power was afraid that he could not help.
I had to wait and see. Captain Dibu and Luqi had circled behind the howling beast. Luqi jumped up and stabbed the back of the howling beast with a greatsword, and the howling beast turned around, and the greatsword and Luqi were knocked to the ground by the claws of the howling beast.
Captain Dibu jumped up, a slender sword was shrouded in a layer of red light, and jumped to the highest point Captain Dibu spun around. As the body spun, the sword statue split into multiple pieces, severing the head of the howling beast, and blood spurted like a spring of blood on the armor of several people.
The howling beast let out a last wail, and its body fell to the ground heavily, Xu Hao couldn't help but admire Dibu in his heart, no wonder it was the captain, with a keen reaction, a careful plan, and an extraordinary outstretched hand.
Captain Dibu's face was covered in blood, and he took out his handkerchief to wipe the blood on his face: "Xu Hao, you go and cut off the sharp thorns on the back of the howling beast." We call it a day. ”
Xu Hao took out his knife and walked towards the howling beast. Suddenly, five big men rushed out from the side of the stone, and Xu Hao was pushed to the ground by several people.
"It's you again. Captain Dibu wiped the sword in his hand and said.
"The road is narrow, you are too focused to fight, you didn't notice our approach. "In the moonlight, I saw only five sturdy men, and I couldn't see the faces and dressed up.
Xu Hao couldn't figure out the situation and retreated to Captain Dibu.
Miao Neng said angrily: "Do you want to snatch other people's loot again?"
Ye Hu and Lu Qi couldn't help but rush forward, and were scolded by Captain Dibu: "Come back, no one is allowed to do anything without my order." ”
Xu Hao looked at this posture and had already guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten.
"Fifty soul marrow. Take the howling beast, or not, striking. ”
"Slut, despicable, shameless. We killed the howling beast, why should we give you fifty soul marrows? Lu Qi said.
"We don't have it on us, you go back to Wuling City with us, and I'll go to the hotel to get it for you." ”
"Hahaha, are you a fool when we are Wu Ling Hongguang? Don't talk nonsense, take out the fifty soul marrow, and you can dispose of the howling beast at will. ”
"Okay, it's okay, fifty soul marrow. Captain Dibu said through gritted teeth.
"Captain, you ......" Lu Qi just spoke, and was punched back by Captain Dibu. said: "Let's get together. Get the soul marrow out. ”
Xu Hao didn't understand, how could he endure this breath, could it be that they were soul masters?
Ye Hu couldn't help but shout: "You guys don't do this kind of thing, aren't you?
"Do you have any evidence? will we fight normally and Wu Lingjun will take care of it?"
Ye Hu clenched his fists and gasped.
"Captain, they deceive people too much. Why should we admit it? Lu Qi said.
"Don't talk, you're the captain, I'm the captain. ”
Lu Qi slammed his giant sword into the ground. "If you keep pressuring me with this, I have nothing to say, and tomorrow I will forcibly leave the team, and the soul essence I have saved in the past year is enough to pay the fine. ”
"Fine?" Xu Hao didn't know what Lu Qi was talking about.
"Wu Ling Hongguang, give. Fifty Soul Essence. Captain Dibu smiled and handed the soul marrow to the nearest strong man. The strong man took the soul marrow and whispered a few words to the one next to him, the distance was too far, Xu Hao could only see the movements, and couldn't hear what was said.
Wu Ling Hongguang continued: "My brother said, you are too slow, the price has risen, a hundred soul marrow. ”
"One hundred soul marrows? The reward for our bounty order is only one hundred soul marrows. Captain Dibu couldn't contain the anger in his heart.
"Xu Hao, you come. Do you still have a soul essence there? Captain Dibu squeezed his eyes and said to Xu Hao.
It was already completely dark. Xu Hao couldn't see Captain Dibu's expression: "No, I don't even have a soul stone anymore." ”
Captain Dibu walked over and grabbed Xu Hao: "I'll flip it over." ”
Xu Hao was about to get angry. Captain Dibu whispered, "What are your chances of winning against the five of them?"
"Ahh Xu Hao couldn't help but be startled. Quickly thought: "I really don't have a soul essence. ”
He bowed his head and whispered to Captain Dibu, "Temporary control should be fine." If it's been a long time, I'm afraid it's ......"
Captain Dibu interrupted Xu Hao's words: "Okay, I know, listen to my command, let's fight." ”
Xu Hao whispered to Lu Qi. A few people made a gesture knowingly.
"Wu Ling Hongguang, we really don't have a soul essence, or next time?" Captain Dibu turned around and said.
"No, then you can have a few fun with our brother?" said in a rough voice.
"Okay. Captain Dibu said as he moved forward, his hands behind his back. Three. Two. One.
Miao Neng quickly flung the shield forward. Xu Hao's water bladder that had been opened quickly used the water mist technique on the five people, the five people moved slowly in the water mist, and the water mist disappeared in an instant, Xu Hao frowned, knowing that the water mist technique would not last long in the dry desert, but it was much faster than he estimated. It was impossible for the five targets to release the water dungeon, and now it was up to them.
Several people were in a mess, the sound of weapons clashing with each other, between the lightning and flint, Captain Dibu already had many wounds, Xu Hao thought about what he had learned, no soul method could solve the current scene, and several people were forced to retreat frequently.
Ye Hu had been beaten all over his body, and soon became a big five, and Captain Dibu was about to collapse, Xu Hao couldn't help shouting: "Retreat, retreat." ”
Xu Hao poured all his soul power into erecting a wall of fire in front of Wu Ling's red light, and Xu Hao shouted, "Run." ”
Captain Dibu ran over and picked up Ye Hu, who was covered in bruises, and fled.
Running and running, Xu Hao's Void Moon Ring shook violently, broke inexplicably, and all the items were scattered all over the ground, Xu Hao didn't have time to pick them all up, only picked up a few water bladders, and then continued to escape, for an hour, Ye Hu was injured and panted, "No, stop, no, I can't run." ”
Captain Dibu looked at the empty back and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it, let's rest here." ”
Lu Qi looked at Xu Hao and said, "Xu Hao, aren't you a water system?" Several other people also looked at Xu Hao.
Before he was sure whether the wood system could awaken, Xu Hao didn't plan to reveal it, but at that time, the situation was in crisis, and he had to expose his dual attributes.
"Actually, I'm a double line. Xu Hao said lightly.
"Dual, that's amazing, isn't it?" Lu Qi said with wide eyes and surprise.
"Xu Hao, then why didn't you say it earlier. Captain Dibb's tone was slightly accusatory.
"I want to keep a lot of strength, I don't want to expose too much. ”
Ye Hu groaned and said, "Do you care if I live or die?"
Captain Dibu glanced at Ye Hu, "What is this skin injury called?" ”
Xu Hao said with some guilt: "I have just awakened the fire system, and I am not very skilled in using it, so my current soul power should not be able to support the release of a hydrotherapy technique." ”
Captain Dibu was about to kick Ye Hu, but after seeing Ye Hu's injury, he withdrew his outstretched foot.
Miao Neng didn't say much, but he also asked curiously: "You are all awakened dual-line sorcerers, why don't you go and evaluate a level." ”
"I, I really wanted to go to the Soul Refining Tower to study myself, but I won't tell you that if I hadn't met you, I guess I would have starved to death in a foreign land now. ”
Captain Dibu rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't we all get you the soul marrow, you can rate it." I don't think you can release very many soul spells, and the other derivative period soul masters I've seen are ...... than you."
Captain Dib was halfway through his speech, and felt that something should not be said.
Xu Hao didn't listen to the second half of the sentence at all, only heard that they were going to make up the soul essence for themselves to go to the Soul Refining Tower to study. said: "Then how embarrassing, I still owe Xiangzi fifty soul essence from the martial arts wine shop." ”
Lu Qi hadn't listened to them all the time, and suddenly thought: "Wow, it's so powerful, Sister Dibu, there is actually a dual-line soul warrior in our team!"
Being said like this, Ye Hu and Miao Neng also felt like a treasure, and looked at Xu Hao with flickering eyes.
Xu Hao was embarrassed. "Nothing," he said. It's just a matter of luck. ”
"Lucky for us! celebrate the aftermath of our lives, celebrate our dual-line souls. Lu Qi laughed. Several people were also glad to be out of danger and laughed.
