Chapter 10 The Emergence of Goals

Bypassing Hanjia Village and stepping into the Ming Dou Mountain Range, which straddles the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, the destination of the northern soul beast gathering place is already within reach.

Within a few days, Su Xiu finally set foot on this land that had been haunted by dreams and pursued all the way.

Silently staring at an iron-spine porcupine in front of him, a hundred-year-old soul beast, it can shoot steel spikes on its body to attack enemies when it is furious.

But Su Xiu wouldn't give him a chance to send out a steel thorn counterattack, urging a sword qi in the sea of qi to open his mouth and spit out, the sword qi was like a meteor and as fast as lightning, and the sound of breaking through the air had just entered his ears, and the black and white sword qi had already penetrated the eyes of the iron-spine porcupine to assassinate it, and the iron-spine porcupine didn't even have time to send out the conditioned reflex of the nerves before dying.

After carefully cleaning up the scene, Su Xiu cautiously left and embarked on the road to find the hidden mouse, which was one of the most important details when hunting soul beasts in dangerous areas such as the depths of the forest and mountain range.

At all times, you must pay attention to covering up the smell and blood smell on your body, if you can't guarantee that your smell will not leak out, or if you won't cover up the smell of blood after the war, then congratulations, some powerful and keen soul beasts can even smell the smell of the wind wafting from more than ten miles away, and then track it all the way.

And Su Xiu's method of masking the smell was very simple, using the herbs purchased from the medicine house mixed with the urine and body fluids of the soul beast to make a plant juice called stinky grass.

The smell of this stinky grass is extremely strong, and many soul beasts don't like this smell, and they will avoid it when they encounter it.

This juice dripping on his body can guarantee to cover up the smell on his body for four hours, but this smell is also very uncomfortable for Su Xiu, which makes him slightly more comfortable with two layers of thick face towels on his face.

The deeper he went into the mountains, the higher the age of the soul beasts Su Xiu encountered, but most of them were simply less than three hundred years, and occasionally the soul beasts with a higher age were also relatively weak existences in the soul beast group, which saved a lot of trouble.

According to the information that Su Xiu obtained, the hidden rat-like soul beasts were very difficult to detect, and they were often hidden in various terrains, such as under the earth, in the lava mountains, in the depths of giant trees, and around lakes and rivers, and rarely went out.

If you want to catch a hidden mouse, it is extremely difficult, not to mention whether you can find it, and how many years after you find it, it takes a long time to ponder.

Of course, it is not without opportunities, the hermit rats almost always travel in the dark of night, preying on those small soul beasts that have fallen asleep.

Since they would hunt those small and weak soul beasts at night, Su Xiu planned to find out the soul beasts living in this soul beast gathering place first, and then wait for the opportunity to move.

But everything is hypothetical, what is the reality, we have to wait until Su Xiu really stepped into the soul beast forest to know, what if luck breaks out, what if you find out as soon as you enter?

Perhaps this gathering place of soul beasts is indeed too ordinary, and there are almost no soul beasts with strong bloodline strength, which leads to the fact that there are very few soul masters hunting soul rings here, and there are only some low-level soul masters with shallow talent and weak strength.

The trees inside the forest are also tall, and ordinary plants may grow quickly in such a fantasy world, a full twenty meters tall, but they are much more dispersed than the mountain range they have experienced before.

Su Xiu carefully brushed the vines and thorns on both sides with an iron sword, beware of all kinds of poisonous insects, mosquitoes and ants, even if he was not afraid, he had to maintain a cautious attitude.

The periphery is almost full of ten-year-old soul beasts, if Su Xiu is careful, he can run rampant, and this is not a big gathering place for soul beasts, and the highest is only three or two thousand-year-old soul beasts hidden.

I searched all kinds of special terrain, and searched all kinds of cave nests of weak soul beasts, but I didn't find any trace of hidden rats at all.

Alas!

No wonder they all say that hunting for soul rings is not an overnight effort, how can it be possible to find the target all at once without four or five days, and even bad luck, it is not strange to find a ten day and a half for a month!

Su Xiu was a little frustrated and impatient for a while, and even began to be a little suspicious, after all, he finally got the news of the soul beast that suited him, and he stayed at the level of the soul master for two years, I am afraid that anyone will be impatient!

Fortunately, Su Xiu was in a good mood, just a little gaffe, just a little adjustment, anyway, he waited for half a year, and he was not in a hurry at this time, there will always be a day when he succeeds.

If you choose the first soul ring so much, you will be more or less sorry for the penance of the past two years, even if you are born now, you must choose the best, and you can't lose at the starting line!

Su Xiu comforted himself, but his feet sped up again.

The martial soul was released, the soul power flowed, Su Xiu's breath was isolated, and the figure flickered back and forth in this mountain forest, ambushing and probing around various soul beast caves from time to time.

For five days in a row, Su Xiu was almost always so busy except for the necessary rest and food, and he almost finished detecting half of the area of this soul beast gathering place back and forth.

By now, Su Xiu's whole person was already haggard and tired, not only physically exhausted, but also mental.

After all, a person wandering around in this deep mountain and old forest, he has to be vigilant at any time, and concentrate on finding the hidden mouse with all his strength, even if Su Xiu's physical fitness comparable to Soul Venerable is a little unbearable.

In the end, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and this situation lasted until two days later.

At noon that day, Su Xiu began to search as usual, but still found nothing, and when he was suspicious, he accidentally came to a small river flowing in front of the bumpy cliff and stone wall, and finally made a discovery!

But he said that Su Xiu had been tossing and turning all morning, and he was a little thirsty, and he was about to take some water from this river to drink, and he was just about to turn around and leave, when an abrupt splash of water in the distance attracted his attention.

Originally, Su Xiu didn't have any strange feelings, and was ready to leave as usual and started looking for it again.

It was just that suddenly a whim sensed something, and the ghost sent the god to look at the center of the splash again.

This glance is ten thousand years, and there is a kind of hazy surprise that suddenly looks back at the person who is in the dim light!

Su Xiu never thought that the hidden mouse trace, who had been looking for almost seven days and had not seen it, would inadvertently break into my world like this!

Overjoyed, Su Xiu almost laughed out loud and alarmed the soul beast in front of him, and hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth, standing quietly and not daring to move, his eyes were dead against the mouse-like creature that loomed in the center of the splash and almost merged with the river!

The rat seemed to be playing in the water, about two palms long, with a narrow head, a long and narrow body, and a slender tail that drifted with the waves in the water, like a water elf, leisurely, completely unaffected by the rushing river.

Obviously, this is a hundred-year-old hidden rat soul beast that travels in the water!

"Finally found a hidden rat soul beast!" Su Xiu threw away all the doubts and depression that had accumulated in his heart, and the first soul ring appeared.

Although it's just a waterborne hermit rat here, almost all of the rat soul beasts are social creatures, and with one as a guide, aren't the other types of hermit rats just handy?

Su Xiu's eyes were shining, and he quietly tracked behind the frolicking water hermit rat more than ten meters away.

Hanging from afar, the water hidden rat frolicked all the way, and seemed to get tired of it quickly, turning over in the water, and it didn't go to the bottom of the water with a swish, and it was already ten meters away when it reappeared.

In the blink of an eye, it was a distance of tens of meters, and it was almost completely integrated into the water flow, and even Su Xiu was surprised by the speed of this concealed escape.

If it weren't for Su Xiu's martial soul being his entire body, allowing him to track and sneak at such a close distance, as well as his powerful spiritual power that surpassed ordinary soul masters, I am afraid that he would not have been able to catch the figure of the hidden mouse at all!

Sure enough, Su Xiu had a slight guess, this should not be the speed that this water hermit rat has, in the information he investigated, there was no record of how strong the speed and power of the hermit rat itself was, it was completely an ordinary rat-like soul beast.

Then this should be the unique innate ability of the Hidden Mouse - the Element of Escape.

In this way, it should be an incomparably powerful ability, so why don't many people choose it as a soul ring, which has to say that this innate ability is flawed!

First, the Hidden Mouse itself does not control the elements, and it is an instinct to escape;

Second, it's not that there are no soul masters who want to get their ability to escape, but countless lessons of blood and tears tell people that almost all of the Hidden Mouse's soul rings only have the ability to grant elements, and they are also wisps of incomparably ordinary and ordinary flames, and their escape energy has never been obtained!

Since that's the case, why not hunt down a powerful elemental class and escape a soul beast?

Therefore, the ability of the hidden mouse to the human soul master has always been in the position of blue silver grass in the soul master world.

However, Su Xiu didn't think so!

After all, he came from the fantasy adventures of his previous life, all kinds of flying away from the sky, slashing the stars, reclaiming the sand, and ruling the ups and downs of the heavens, although they all only exist in people's fantasies, but the shocking ones are not comparable to the rigid abilities of the Douluo Continent soul ring skills.

Therefore, Su Xiu didn't care at all what kind of soul ring skills he could obtain, unless it was a realm-type soul skill, it would be more about the elemental abilities given by various soul rings.

Therefore, Su Xiu made up his mind to hunt a Five Elements Hidden Mouse as a soul ring.

Moreover, the combat power of the hidden rat soul beast is not strong, and it is the kind of mediocre soul beast in all aspects, and it is much easier to absorb than those top soul beasts, so that Su Xiu can also challenge the soul ring with a better age, and even the first ring of the millennium is not a conjecture!

And using the Five Elements Hidden Mouse as the first ring of the millennium was also a choice made by Su Xiu after careful consideration.

Of course, these thoughts are only fleeting in my mind, and the most important thing at the moment is to follow the hermit rat closely in order to find the hermit rat colony faster.

I have to say that the hidden mouse is indeed blessed with escape, should it be said that it is worthy of being a mouse!
