No surprises happened. About three hours later, everyone was safe and sound, and they returned to the hotel without incident.

Seeing that everyone had returned safely, Meng was still visibly relieved to lead the soul hunt for the first time, "Let's talk about it, have you found any special or noteworthy information." ”

"Nothing special." Ning Rongrong shook his head first. She and Bai Agarwood sat down for three hours, drank two large pots of tea, and were stunned that they didn't find anyone worth noting, and they heard any special information worth noting.

By observing the clothing of the people who came and went, Ning Rongrong said: "The people who will stay in this hotel are basically noble soul masters, most of them are over thirty years old, and they bring more than two guards. ”

"During their conversations, I heard that they plan to hire two or three soul hunting teams directly here to serve them, and then they will do it after the soul hunting team has controlled the soul beasts."

Speaking of this, Ning Rongrong pursed his lips, obviously with disdain for those people.

"Control the soul beast", it sounds so good, and the translation is completely "You go first, go and beat the soul beast half to death, master, I am only responsible for the final kill and take the head", does this kind of soul master really have combat effectiveness?

It's not an auxiliary soul master with no combat effectiveness, so don't you want to be so delicate.

On the one hand, Ning Rongrong, as the heir of the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect of the Upper Three Sects, who is rich and rivals the country, does not look down on the aristocratic soul master with a large nouveau riche temperament.

On the other hand, looking at the gorgeous costumes of those noble soul masters that shone with golden light, Ning Rongrong always felt that he saw himself when he had hunted the first and second soul rings before. After a second look, Ning Rongrong suspected that he would draw his sword and rush up to cut them all down.

"What about cultivation?" Not knowing that Ning Rongrong's knife was almost stained with blood, Meng still asked.

Going to the soul hunting team to assist in soul hunting is also the first choice for most soul masters, after all, not everyone has a boss at the lowest level of the soul king on their heads.

The vast majority of soul masters still have to sign up for a group in order to hunt a thousand-year-old or even hundred-year-old soul beast by relying on their numerical advantage. If you are unlucky, the soul beast you encounter is a pack soul beast like a wolf.

Then I'm sorry, ask for more blessings.

After experiencing the cultivation of the Battle Soul Master, Ning Rongrong's perception ability has also been greatly strengthened. She replied categorically: "The soul masters who hunt soul rings are mainly level 20 and level 30, and only one very old nobleman is level 40. None of the guards were above level forty. ”

"Really."

Meng still glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, then lowered his head and pondered.

After taking a look outside with Ye Lingling, Meng still confirmed that this was the best hotel in Qingyun Town. There could not have been a nobleman who did not choose to live here for no particular reason. In other words, it is unlikely that there will be a person who is in a similar situation to Zhu Zhuqing at the beginning.

As another party, Zhu Zhuqing, who stayed in the hotel to adjust his state, obviously remembered what happened at the beginning, and glanced at Meng Yi angrily.

"Graphite, stone grinding, what about you?"

"Yes." Graphite took out a black unknown thing about the size of a fist and looked like it was a little fluffy from his arms, as well as a stone that faintly emitted a faint yellow shimmer, and said lightly: "I heard that these two are necessities for entering the Liuyun Plateau, so it is best to bring them with you." ”

"What is this?" Meng still reached out and took it, put the stone aside first, and pinched the black object, "Cotton? ”

"Hmm." Graphite nodded, "This is a cotton variety unique to the Liuyun Plateau, called O-film cotton. This cotton is highly absorbent and able to trap moisture in the air. ”

"This cotton is the most important source of fresh water in the region, if not one of them."

"Huh?" Ning Rongrong looked at this small ball of black cotton, stretched out his finger and nodded, "Just this little ball of cotton?" ”

Graphite didn't speak, just picked up the lump of cotton, picked up his arm to see two large loops, and then put his hand on top of an empty cup and squeezed it hard.

"Is this a joke?!"

Grabbing the water cup, Ning Rongrong stared at the water at the bottom of the cup with wide eyes, looking incredulous.

Graphite can understand Ning Rongrong's current performance very well, after all, he and Shi Mo were in the bazaar, and saw an old man who was only half his height playing like this, and his performance was similar to Ning Rongrong's current performance.

So he explained: "Don't look at this lump of cotton, which is only as small as a fist, it can swell eight to ten times in size when it is full of water. It is an indispensable source of fresh water for those who enter the Liuyun Plateau. ”

"There is often an inexplicable fog here, and as long as you pair this with this, you can ensure that there is enough fresh water."

The Liuyun Plateau is not as dry as the Death Desert, and the relative humidity is quite high. But with the exception of a few places with stable water sources, most other areas do not have readily available freshwater resources.

And a storage soul guide that can store fresh water in advance is a rarity. Even if it was Ning Rongrong, there was only one storage soul guide on his body, and it was impossible to use it all to hold water. Unlike the Na ring next door, there is almost one per person. As long as you have this idea, even if your cultivation is not high, you can bring ten fingers to become the Lord of the Rings.

Moreover, even if there is a storage soul guide and all of it is used to hold fresh water, if it is not replenished in time, the fresh water in it will be used up sooner or later. As long as there is this O-film cotton, at least it can guarantee that it will not be forced to stop the soul hunt because of the water problem.

Ye Lingling also reached out and pinched the slightly swollen O-film cotton in the graphite hand, felt the wetness of his fingertips, and asked, "Can this only be squeezed?" ”

With the blessing of soul power, the soul master's wrist strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people. But most of the people living in this town are ordinary people, and with the strength of ordinary people's wrists, it is unlikely that O-film cotton will be as dry as it was before the graphite display.

"No," Graphite shook his head, "the people here use whips, so it's better to get out of the water." ”

"Huh?" Everyone's eyes stared at graphite with a slight widening of their eyes, and they saw that his face did not change and his heart did not beat and repeated again: "It's better to whip with a whip." ”

"Uh-huh???"

"As long as this cotton is stimulated by a strong enough external force at the moment, it will actively discharge the adsorbed water. As long as you use a whip, you can take out all the water without harming the integrity of O-film. ”

"However, O-film cotton can't be put into the soul guide, otherwise it will lose its effect."

Because Tang San was not here, none of the seven people present found that this ball of cotton was actually alive. Gu You is not here, so no one has explored this situation to the end.

Meng still felt that this thing Gu You might be very interested, and after putting it aside, he reached out to pick up the stone that he had just put aside.

Just when his finger was about to touch this stone, Meng still had a look in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Did anyone touch this stone just now?" ”

The position of the stone has changed. Although it was just a casual hand, and the changes were quite subtle, Meng was still keenly aware of this.

The stone was right next to her, and there was no way anyone could touch it without her knowing.

"Nobody touched it, it moved on its own." Shi Mo said: "This is called the Return Stone, which is a special rock produced in a place called Lingfeng in the north of the Liuyun Plateau. This stone has a property, that is, as long as this stone is placed on the ground, it will involuntarily move in the direction of Lingfeng. ”

Because of this characteristic, the people here call the return stone a return stone or a return stone. Because it leaves marks on the ground when it moves, some people jokingly refer to it as a floor breaker. ”

"Since there is a dense fog like clouds for unknown reasons like today's from time to time, as long as there is such a stone, we can tell which direction is north in the rain and fog by sitting it on the ground for a while, and by observing the direction of movement."

The frequency of dense fog on the Liuyun Plateau is not high, but it is quite fatal for those who encounter it. With this stone, at least you can guarantee that you will not worry about getting lost in the fog.

Gu You once said that fresh water and direction are the two most important problems to pay attention to in the wilderness, and they are also the two problems that must be solved.

Now, Meng Liu, who successfully solved these two hidden dangers for the first time as the core of soul hunting, still feels that she has been sublimated, and her self-confidence has been greatly improved, and she also shares the information she and Ye Lingling got with everyone.

"We have three pieces of information. First, the dense fog on the Liuyun Plateau usually only appears once every six months to a year, and generally lasts for three to seven days. This time the fog is the fifth day today, and the fog is starting to fade, and it is expected that it will be able to enter the Liuyun Plateau smoothly tomorrow. ”

Speaking of this, Meng still turned his head to look at Zhu Zhuqing on the side, Zhu Zhuqing nodded, indicating that he was ready.

Meng still continued: "Second, the soul beasts that Zhuqing needs do exist here, and there are quite a few of them, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, and all kinds of years, which is also consistent with what Gu You said. ”

"In other words, as long as we have enough patience, we will definitely be able to find the most suitable one for Zhuqing."

After walking around Qingyun Town for a while, Meng Yi, who soon found out which hotel was the most popular for soul masters, took Ye Lingling straight to the hotel.

The two young and beautiful female soul masters looked at you curiously, and the five big men and three thick old men couldn't refuse this look at all, and they each showed off their "magnificent" adventure stories.

Of course, the more important information that can be sold for money, such as "the range of activities of a certain soul beast" and "the location where a certain soul beast last appeared in the near future", is of course tight-lipped. But in the past, if there were any such stories about soul beasts and how they escaped or fought back under its attack, they were still happy to tell them and show off.

In the midst of many exaggerated stories with half-truths and half-truths, Meng still learned a lot of important information.

"But there is also bad news, that is, this soul beast is a lone ranger, and it has a huge range of activities, we must be prepared to fight a protracted war."

There is still a big gap between the soul hunting method of Gu You's accurate demarcation of targets and the soul hunting method led by Yu Xiaogang and the mainstream of today's soul master world (translated as "which one to kill").

The advantage is naturally that the soul beasts that are ready to be hunted have been carefully selected, and they are definitely the most suitable one for soul masters, and they have the greatest enhancement to combat effectiveness.

And the biggest problem is that if you are unlucky, you may stay in the Soul Beast Forest for a much longer time than expected.

If you are in the soul beast forest in captivity in the Martial Spirit Palace, this problem is not very obvious. The strongest soul beast is only a thousand years, even if it doesn't have a thigh to hold, as long as it is genius enough, there is no need to worry about the danger of life at all.

However, in the Soul Beast Forest, which cannot be managed in the Martial Soul Palace, in the face of a 10,000-year-old soul beast that may come out of the most central area at any time, even if it is a Soul Saint or even a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, if you don't pay attention, you may fall in an instant.

In this regard, Meng Yi's decision was: "Considering efficiency and safety, even if we don't successfully find the soul beast that Zhuqing needs, we can only stay in Liuyun Plateau for a week at most, and then return to Qingyun Town to rest." ”

Meng Yi's decision is just a notice and does not need to be approved by others. She didn't notice that when she said this, her demeanor looked no different from Gu You's.

No one has any objections. All of you here are geniuses, and you are not old people who are about to break through to level ninety, and those who are eager to get a soul ring to continue their lives can still afford to spend a few days.

Seeing this, Meng was still ready to say the last piece of information he gave.

I saw that her expression became a little strange, and she asked in a slightly strange tone, "Have you ever heard of Shen Yin?" ”

"What is this?"

Except for Ye Lingling, who was still out with Meng Zhen, everyone else shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of this word.

Ye Lingling hesitated a little, her mouth moved, but she still decided to open her mouth and say to Meng Ying: "Still, there is no need to say this." ”

Meng still shook his head, "Ling Ling, this news may be fake. But Gu You once said that every story that circulates may be a piece of history in the past, and it is only through word of mouth that it is covered with a veil of mystery. ”

Meng was still not a scholar, and even though Gu You and Ranta had shown her the power of a scholar, she was not very interested in the work of a scholar.

But she is a control soul master, the heart and brain of the team. In Gu You's words, as the brain of the team, she must be fully prepared no matter when and where.

She couldn't do it like Gu You, who had countless plans in her mind waiting to be used before doing anything. It can't be like Tang San, relying on his unparalleled reflexes to make the best choice between the moments.

She can only be like a toddler, imitating the two vertices of the contemporary era: planning to flow to the ancient and reacting to Tang San, to do everything she can do.

"Shen Yin is a legend that circulates here."

Meng still spoke slowly. She also doesn't spend all the time in the hotel listening to stories, and she also goes to many places to inquire about news. One of them was an old woman who heard a legend that was passed down among the locals.

"Legend has it that every time a thick fog appears, a life disappears into the thick fog. There is no trace of it, and there is no trace of the battle, and it is gone forever. ”

"It's as if they were taken away by the gods of heaven."

It's numb, and it may really have to be changed every two days (crying) in the future. The extra I wrote, the longer it became, the longer it became, and I was ready to wait for it to be released at one time after writing, so please forgive me. Ask for a recommended ticket, ask for a monthly pass~~~
