Chapter 44: The Second Contract Beast II

The depths of the Soul Hunter Forest are overgrown with trees, and the rays of sunlight pass through the gaps in the layers of leaves, and when they reach the ground, they are only mottled and dotted in it, and this trace of sunlight that finally leaks out will eventually be frantically occupied and absorbed by the weeds and shrubs on the ground, forming a secret dense bush that covers the forest ground tightly.

In this dense jungle, there are often some dangerous and vicious soul beast traps, and if adventurers accidentally step into them, they will probably add a new line of names to the list of missing people outside.

Since Shen Yuan and the others walked into the depths of the forest, their journey had been slowed down a lot by these soul beasts on the side of the road.

This is thanks to the coercion of the Phantom Moon Fox's thousand-year-old soul beasts, some low-level soul beasts automatically avoided it after feeling it, so that their speed did not slow down too much.

"Xiao Yuan, this is the last possible location on the map," Tang San asked.

"Hmm. We have checked the previous ones, but we have not found any traces of the ring fire tortoise. Shen Yuan nodded and said, "If there isn't one here, then maybe there is no Ring Fire Tortoise in the Soul Hunting Forest." At that time, let's go find the earth lizard! ”

It has been more than two weeks since Shen Yuan and his party entered the Soul Hunting Forest, and the two weeks of sleeping in the open have consumed a lot of energy for several people.

If there is no trace of the Ring Fire Tortoise, they can only retreat to find other spare soul beasts.

However, for this place, Shen Yuan still has a lot of expectations.

It's a deserted place, and if someone hadn't strayed into that mountain stream, no one would have thought that there was a hot spot there.

Shen Yuan led a few people through the bushes with difficulty, and successfully came to the location marked on the ground.

But after arriving, the scene in front of them made the hearts of several people suddenly cool.

I saw that the place where there should have been steaming hot gas and hot magma flowing, only black rocks remained, and there were still a few traces of the flow of magma on the stones.

"How...... How so? Seeing the situation in front of her, Xiao Wu couldn't help but shout, "The person who didn't give us the news deceived us!?" ”

At this time, Shen Yuan, who had lost his mind, had already calmed down again, came to the trace of the magma rolling, touched it and said, "It shouldn't be!" There's still a hint of warmth left here, and it shouldn't have been cooling down for long. ”

"And the person who gave us the news is only a Great Soul Master cultivator, and he has a good reputation in this vicinity, so it is unlikely that he will deliberately offend us through this kind of dangerous joke news."

At this time, Tang San also walked over, touched the rock and said, "Well, I can feel it, the magma here should have just been extinguished and cooled down." ”

Shen Yuan nodded, then stood up and looked around and said, "Since it has just cooled down here, there may be traces of the Ring Fire Tortoise nearby, we can't let go of a glimmer of hope, let's check it carefully." ”

In fact, even Shen Yuan himself didn't have expectations, but he felt that it was difficult to get here, and he always felt unwilling not to look for it.

Sure enough, several people looked around, including the ringfire tortoise, and found no trace of the soul beast.

"Brother......

Xiao Wu looked at Shen Yuan, who was slightly silent, and opened his mouth, and when he wanted to say something, he was stopped by Shen Yuan's sudden head touching.

"Don't worry, I'm already mentally prepared to find the Ring Fire Tortoise this time. After all, how many years has the Soul Hunting Forest been, there is only one recent case. Shen Yuan touched her head and said to Xiao Wu with a chuckle.

Tang San stood aside and suddenly said, "Xiao Yuan, let's stop looking, maybe there are some places in the Soul Hunting Forest that are also connected to underground magma, and we haven't found it." ”

Shen Yuan shook his head and said, "I've been looking for two weeks and still haven't had any clues, it seems that I have no fate with the Ring Fire Tortoise." The possibility of finding it again is too small, so it's better to give up. ”

"Let's go find the Earth Lizard, although this guy is not as rare as the Ring Fire Tortoise, but it is also rare in the Soul Hunting Forest, if we are unlucky, we may not be able to meet them if we spend another two weeks here."

As he spoke, Shen Yuan directly opened his mouth and shouted around: "Yueyue, come back!" Don't look for it! ”

However, after shouting for a while, Shen Yuan and the others did not wait for the Phantom Moon Fox's response.

[Something happened?!] Shen Yuan and the others subconsciously reacted

"Find!" Several people immediately ran out in all directions, looking for traces of the Phantom Moon Fox.

Fortunately, soon a few people found the footprints of the Phantom Moon Fox. Looking at the footprints on the ground, the Phantom Moon Fox seemed to be just swaying around at first, and then suddenly seemed to sense something, and immediately rushed straight in one direction.

Shen Yuan and the others anxiously followed the footprints of the Phantom Moon Fox, and soon came to a very hidden cave entrance.

The entrance of the cave was surrounded by dense shrubs, and when he opened these shrubs, Shen Yuan immediately saw a small cave that was only more than a meter high and about a meter wide.

"The footprints disappeared here, it seems that Yueyue should have entered this cave." Tang San squatted on the ground and looked at the traces, and said solemnly.

Shen Yuan stared at the dark cave with both eyes, was silent for a while, and said firmly: "Enter!" ”

After saying that, they lit torches and walked carefully along the wall of the small cave, half-bent over.

Not long after Shen Yuan and the others entered, Flender took the master to the entrance of the cave.

"Shall we go in too?" Flender pointed to the cave that was just over his waist, and looked at the master speechlessly.

"What do you say?!" With that, the master bent down and slowly walked into the cave.

Flender looked at the master's undeniable look, shook his head helplessly, and also bent down and walked in, no matter what, those little guys are also his favorite students, it is impossible to watch them fall into possible danger and ignore it.

Inside the cave, Shen Yuan and the others walked along the rock wall of the cave, and found that the more they walked inside, the larger the space in the cave, and when they walked to the back, they could even walk three or four adults side by side.

Shen Yuan walked in front with a torch, and at the same time, he kept urging the martial spirit, feeling the position of the Phantom Moon Fox, and kept calling in his mind.

"Brother, junior, do you think it's getting hotter and hotter here?" In the dark, Xiao Wu couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead and said.

Tang San nodded and said, "Indeed, the further you go inside, the higher the temperature seems to be. Xiao Yuan, did you say that Yueyue could feel the temperature abnormality or a special soul beast here, so she ran over to find it. ”

Shen Yuan thought about it and felt that the possibility of this was very high, but because of this, Shen Yuan's mood became more anxious.

Although the Phantom Moon Fox is already a thousand-year-old soul beast, it has not awakened new soul skills, and it still only has auxiliary spiritual links and rough spiritual impacts.

Although because of the combat training of Shen Yuan and others, they also have a lot of experience in close combat, but compared to an ordinary thousand-year-old soul beast, the attack power is actually slightly inferior.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan exhaled heavily, and the pace under his feet increased slightly, while the name of the Phantom Moon Fox was frequently called in his mind.

Suddenly, Shen Yuan and the others turned a corner, and the scene in front of them instantly shocked several people.

The surging magma on the ground, which is no more than twenty or thirty square meters in total, spreads on the ground like a bright red slurry, and from time to time a few bubbles emerge on it, fluttering, bringing the poisonous gas that has been dusty in the earth for many years to the ground, turning into a foul-smelling gas, lingering in the whole cave.

The blood-red magma glowed brightly, and the light was not as warm as the sun, nor as cold as the moonlight, as if it naturally carried a riot and frenzy, reflecting on the walls of the cave around it, illuminating the whole cave like a purgatory.

"Source?! How did you guys get here? A familiar voice sounded in the minds of several people.

"Yueyue!" Shen Yuan and the others heard the sound and looked for it in the cave in surprise. Soon, several people found that in the corner of the cave, the Phantom Moon Fox was in a stalemate with a soul beast full of vigilance.

Shen Yuan and the others immediately rushed over, and only then did they see the appearance of the soul beast confronting the Phantom Moon Fox.

Seeing it, Shen Yuan immediately shouted out in surprise: "Ring Fire Tortoise?!! ”
