After leaving the Soul Hunting Town and continuing to move forward for half an hour, Gu You and Tang San saw a city wall, the city wall was about five meters high, there was no end in sight on the left and right sides, and a large number of metal spikes were installed on the city wall.

Ma Xiunuo showed his ring and token to the guards guarding the gate, and after Su Yuntao parked the carriage and Ma Xiunuo put all the items into the ring, the guards opened the gate made of pure metal and let Gu You and his party pass, at this time the two found that the spikes were also installed in the city wall, compared to the outside, the one facing the soul beast forest was slightly blackened, and there was coagulated soul beast blood at the bottom of the spikes.

Seeing the gazes of the two, Ma Xiunuo explained: "These are left after the impact of the soul beast during the beast tide, and the last beast tide is hundreds of years ago. ”

Entering the city wall, there is an open meadow, which Ma Xiuno explained is to facilitate the observation of the soul beast riot in advance and allow time to prepare for it.

After about half an hour of walking, I finally reached the outskirts of the forest. Masino told everyone to stop and get ready before the soul hunt began.

Gu You straightened out the short knife tied to his waist and a few daggers tied to his thighs, while Tang San checked the daggers and sharpened knives everywhere on his body, and at the same time secretly checked the hidden arrows in his hand, keeping them ready to be fired at any time.

"Let's go." Ma Xiunuo and Su Yuntao were also ready, and officially started soul hunting with the two quasi-soul masters. Su Yuntao was in charge of opening the way, the two newcomers were in the middle, and Ma Xiunuo was in charge of the back of the hall.

Entering the forest, it is completely different from what Gu You imagined, the road in the forest is extremely difficult to walk, and fallen leaves, bare tree roots, and vines will affect the position of the feet, not to mention that there are bushes in some places, if you are not prepared in advance, plus Su Yuntao is responsible for opening the road in front, just the spikes on the bushes are enough for Gu You to drink a pot.

Gu You whispered to Tang San, "The forest here is completely different from our Holy Soul Village. Tang San nodded, and Ma Xiunuo behind him said with a smile: "How can it be the same, the woods near the human living area Martial Soul Hall have all arranged for soul masters to clean up, and the shrubs and everything have been cleaned up. Moreover, there are also arrangements for soul masters to inspect in the follow-up to prevent the appearance of ten-year soul beasts. ”

Gu You said: "We are from the soul beast forest near the north gate just now, and the wolf hunt is a random activity, let's go to the eastern district to help Xiao San get his soul ring first, and then slowly find the soul ring I want." Let's go southeast. ”

After Su Yuntao heard this, he silently changed the direction of progress from due south to southeast.

Along the way, Tang San saw a lot of soul beasts, herbivorous soul beasts living in groups, carnivorous soul beasts walking alone, Gu You, Su Yuntao and Ma Xiunuo explained to him the knowledge of soul beasts and how to avoid conflicts with soul beasts when it was not necessary.

Gu You said: "Little San, you have to remember that if you don't need the soul ring of the soul beast or you can't escape from being chased by the soul beast, you need to protect yourself, otherwise you must not kill the soul beast indiscriminately." ”

"Generally speaking, the soul ring of a soul beast is divided according to the number of years, that is to say, those who have lived for more than ten years are ten-year soul beasts, those who have lived for a hundred years are hundred-year soul beasts, and so on, the strongest soul beast has lived for at least 100,000 years."

"Little San, have you ever thought about what to do if the soul beast dies?"

"The soul beast is dead?" Tang San thought for a moment, "It's impossible, how can so many life forbidden areas, as well as soul beasts in the sea, die." ”

Gu You shook his head, "That's not the case, Xiao San, usually there are up to nine soul rings of a soul master, according to the most suitable soul ring ratio of two yellow, two purple and five black that is popular now, even if a Titled Douluo hunts soul beasts according to the minimum number, then he has to kill nine soul beasts." ”

Tang San didn't understand even more, "Nine, that's not a lot." ”

"Just looking at one Title Douluo, it's really not a lot. But if you look at the large number of one-ring and two-ring soul masters in the whole continent, the number is terrifying. ”

"Why?" Tang San asked, even Su Yuntao, who was opening the way in front, and Ma Xiunuo, who was behind the palace, were secretly pricking up their ears to listen.

"Because the soul master grows too fast, and the soul beast grows too slowly." Speaking of this, Gu You sighed, and then said, "A two-ring soul master needs two hundred-year soul rings, but it takes a hundred years for a soul beast to grow into a hundred-year soul beast. ”

"We humans only need to have a child in ten months, and after 20 years, the child will grow up and have a child again. If the parents are soul masters, then the children are also most likely soul masters, as long as they have soul power, at least they are a link, even if they are the most inferior ten years soul beasts, it will take ten years, how many children can the parents of the soul master give birth to in these ten years. ”

Tang San, Su Yuntao, and Ma Xiunuo thought about it seriously, and their hearts were a little hairy.

Ma Xiunuo said in a slightly trembling voice: "From the birth of a soul beast to the growth of a hundred-year soul beast, there may have been several, a dozen, or even dozens of one-ring soul masters. ”

Gu You nodded slightly heavily. "After I learned about the profession of soul master, I knew very well that this profession was bound to die."

"According to the data released by the Martial Spirit Palace, the number of awakened soul masters every year is gradually increasing. Even if the number of soul beasts is enough now, then what about a thousand years later, ten thousand years later, one hundred thousand years later, and now the newly born soul beasts still have a chance to grow into a hundred thousand year soul beasts? ”

"That's not right, Xiaoyou." Tang San interrupted Gu You's words, "Then what does this have to do with our current soul hunting?" ”

Gu You replied in an indifferent tone: "It's okay, I'm just talking about it." ”

Seeing the other three glaring at him, Gu You said unhurriedly: "But the problem is here, even if I don't say it today, the problem is not non-existent, it will only continue to drag on until the soul beast completely dies out, the martial soul does not have a soul ring to continue to cultivate, and the profession of soul master completely disappears." ”

The reason why Gu You said this was because he had seen the condition of the 100,000-year-old soul beast in "The Peerless Tang Gate". And although he hasn't watched the follow-up, the friends he knows who have watched it have also told the plot in "The Legend of the Dragon King", the story of the soul beast. In addition, after coming to this world in person, after investigation and thinking, Gu You was very sure that even if the current Tang San did not regard the Douluo Continent as his own back garden, the soul beast would inevitably become extinct, and the profession of soul master would completely disappear after tens of thousands of years.

"I'm a genius (compared to the local natives), if I don't find a problem, it's fine, but now that I have found a problem and don't solve it, then I will definitely look down on me in the future."

"I will definitely find a way to replace the soul ring to advance the soul power."

Tang San looked at Gu You in front of him, he felt an incomparably strong will in his ordinary words, the sun shone through the canopy on his head and shone on Gu You's body, and at that moment it seemed that Gu You himself was shining light.

This is something Tang San can't do, he has almost no personal will, in the original book, whether it is against the Wuhun Hall or becoming a god, Tang San passively satisfies the wishes of some people and does something, and never shows that doing this is completely out of his own will.

"I'll help you." Tang San said softly.

At this time, no one noticed that behind the bush left behind Masiuno's left, a pair of green eyes were watching them.
