Chapter 130: Soul Hunter
At the same time, the demonic spider, which sensed the touch of the cobwebs around it, also turned its attention to the familiar prey in front of him. Its massive body stood upright again with the support of its hind legs, and unleashed a threatening attack in the direction where Tian Jihong had stopped, as if it was about to attack the latter. However, when he noticed that Tianjihong was only a foot away from the spatial barrier behind him, the demon poison spider still did not fall for it easily and chased after it, and its actions seemed to be a little hesitant, and he still stayed in place.
Seeing that this method still didn't work, Tian Jihong had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue to take the initiative to step forward, moving in a direction that was farther away from the enchantment behind him, and continued to wave the blade in his hand towards the demon poison spider in a provocative manner, and even drove the two hidden weapons in his hand to continuously launch harassing attacks in the direction of the opponent in the distance, trying to continue to provoke the opponent to chase in his own direction.
It's just that the more urgent Tianjihong is, the more vigilant the opponent in front of him becomes. At this time, the demon poison spider not only did not chase after the opponent like a hot head, but unhurriedly re-fixed its body firmly on the original cobweb, and at the same time used the scattered silk threads to dispose of the two hidden weapons that were constantly rotating back and forth beside him, and tied the latter to the branches on both sides. Immediately after that, it continued to accumulate spiritual power from its abdomen, and tentatively released sticky spider silk towards the spatial enchantment, which it used to sense the internal situation.
Such a seemingly deadlocked situation is actually very unfavorable for the two of them, at this time, after the opponent has laid a net next to him, he does not dare to easily approach the opponent to attack, so he has to continue to wander around the periphery looking for possible opportunities.
And inside the trap, Wang Qing can't spare his hands at all, and his attempt to continue to strengthen the magic circle to maintain it for a longer time has indeed worked, but the biggest problem is that the demon poison spider that is the target is not fooled at all, and the spider silk it keeps spitting out will sooner or later trigger the space node in the enchantment as a bait, if it touches the trap in advance and runs without being in the trap, the two of them will really lose their efforts.
Just when Tian Jihong's heart was extremely anxious and at a loss, a faint voice came out of thin air beside him: "Don't panic, you quickly retreat into the enchantment; I'll force this beast into it in a moment, and you and that Wang Qing are ready to do what you originally planned!" ”
This voice floating out of thin air almost didn't make the nervous Tian Jihong jump up in fright, you must know that although you don't dare to say how strong your strength is, but when you were young, under the training of your father day after day, your perception of the danger around you is also beyond ordinary people. Not to mention the people who have the same cultivation as himself, even if the strength of the monk surpasses his own one or two great realms, he basically can't lurk in his ears without being noticed by him the slightest breath or movement.
At this time, although he had already heard that most of the familiar voices were kind, but when he thought that one day such an enemy would quietly appear behind him without being noticed, the other party's desire to take his life was probably as simple as eating and drinking, and he had no room to resist even until he died.
Turning around and looking at the source of the sound behind him, Tian Jihong finally saw the figure that had been hidden in the grass for an unknown amount of time. The emerald green cloak it wears is obviously a good treasure weapon, and its appearance can be completely integrated into the surrounding environment without being noticed by the eyes. The face exposed under the cloak was also shocking to the heavens—he saw the pale face but still the eyes of the still blazing Rokkakuno, staring straight at his face.
Seeing Rokkakuno under this makeup, a long-buried memory suddenly crossed Tianjihong's mind, as if he had heard his father mention the origin of the monk in such a costume, but when the memory was fleeting, he couldn't remember it clearly. So Tian Jihong still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart after all, and subconsciously asked Rokkakuno: "You... How did you manage to sneak up so close to me without being noticed? Why can't I feel your breath at all? ”
"Now is not the time to dwell on this, I can only say that I have completely suppressed the fluctuation of spiritual power with my soul sense. And I've been crouching here for a while to recover, but I didn't rush to show up when I saw you two encounter a poisonous spider after they arrived, and plotted to set a trap here. It wasn't until I saw that the two of you seemed to be at an impasse that I had no choice but to help. Rokkakuno's tone was as calm and deep as ever, but his haggard face could still see at a glance the huge consumption when he urged the treasure to fight with the ghost thousand shadows, and it was obvious that his state was not too good.
"Use your soul sense to suppress spiritual power fluctuations?! Wait..."Tian Jihong's eyes suddenly lit up, and through Rokkakuno's words, he finally found his father's original teachings from the depths of his memory, "You shouldn't be a [Soul Hunter], right?" ”
"Oh? You, a young monk who has just stepped into cultivation, actually know about soul hunters? Haven't asked yet? Rokkakuno's simple and unfazed face finally flashed a look of surprise. Although he had roughly witnessed the battle between Tianjihong and the demon poison spider before, and felt that this young man with cultivation was comparable to himself, but when he heard such a sentence at this time, Rokukano really began to pay attention to the guy in front of him who was a few years younger than himself.
"I see! No wonder you can sense the aura of the enemy before me, or even before those two girls from the Qingluo Sect... It's no wonder that Wang Qing said that you are a leader in the Hexagonal Clan, but your cultivation only stays in the Kaiyuan Realm, it turns out that you joined the Soul Hunter way! Tian Jihong suddenly realized at this time, he finally knew why the hexagonal field in front of him could compete with that ghost thousand shadows for so long with the cultivation of the Kaiyuan Realm.
In his memory, his father had emphasized the existence of the intercontinental soul hunter, and his palpitating appearance still lingered in Tianjihong's mind. According to his father, he had seen the power of soul hunters when he was a young man on the continent; Although he didn't tell Tian Jihong about the whole process of that experience because he didn't want to reveal his true strength, at this time, Tian Jihong was already able to deduce that most of the soul hunters who could give his father such a deep impression were because he had had a head-on fight with his father, and from his father's solemn expression, he must have gone through a hard battle before he was lucky to win.
Dad once focused on popularizing the origin of the soul hunter. The Soul Hunter is not a specific profession in itself, but a wide spread of the identity of this group of specific monks by monks across the continent, and later it was accepted by the other party over time and became a unified name for its own profession.
Soul hunters are different from traditional monks on the mainland, and one of the most typical ways to distinguish them is that the monks who are qualified to join the soul hunter column are all people with extremely high attainments in soul consciousness cultivation. As mentioned before, ordinary monks often practice spiritual power and improve their soul power complement each other, and only a very small number of people can use special means to force the cultivation of soul power under the condition of suppressing spiritual power cultivation, and the soul hunters mentioned here are among those in this ranks.
For example, a soul hunter like Rokkakuye, whose spiritual power is not as good as the cultivation of the Kaiyuan Realm, is likely to be far superior to that of an ordinary monk in the Bone Forging Realm, or even at a higher level. Based on this, the soul hunter is also different from ordinary people, and his sensitivity to the perception of soul power is far greater than that of fellow cultivators.
For this point, the monks who are in the column of soul hunters are all silent, so the mystery has to be repeatedly guessed by other monks on the continent; One of the most common and convincing conclusions is that the soul hunter's superior perception of soul power is closely related to the means by which he cultivates soul power, and his assembly techniques and his own condensed fighting soul have the effect of improving soul consciousness detection.
Tian Jihong also understood that as a member of the Soul Hunters, the Hexagonal Wild in front of him had the ability to surpass the perception of the Bone Forging Realm cultivators, and he must have condensed a powerful fighting soul in his body early on, so he had the qualifications to urge the treasure to fight with that ghost thousand shadows. However, what he didn't know was that the Hexagon Clan, as the inheritance of the bow and arrow family, had a close connection with this Soul Hunter lineage.
Although the Soul Hunter organization was not founded by the Hexagon Clan, what can be clear in the martial arts world is that the ancestor of the founder of the Hexagon Clan hundreds of years ago was a member of the Soul Hunters; After achieving his supreme position in the martial arts world, he also brought the prestige of the Soul Hunter series to a new height. Moreover, as the previous Hexagonal Patriarch of the Hexagonal Clan, it is rumored in the martial arts world that he also secretly joined the queue of soul hunters when he was young, and according to Wang Qing, the Hexagonal Ye who holds the Huangyu Order is the inheritor of the Hexagonal Xin lineage, and it is not surprising that he also joined it.
The Soul Hunters are a mysterious line of nations whose main mission is to serve as a spy and assassination. The Soul Hunter Organization is not subordinate to any faction, nor is it loyal to any sect. Its composition is somewhat similar to that of a trade union, and its members travel between continents on an individual basis, except for the unified actions of the organization in rare cases, but once they are revealed to be soul hunters, they are often guests of other forces, and they are also given priority in hiring commissions such as espionage or assassination.
This is also the reason why the Hexagon clan has such a close relationship with the Soul Hunter lineage, and the cultivation techniques passed down by its founders are originally focused on fixed-point sniping and assassination archery. In a fair battle, the archery skills of the hexagonal clan may not be able to exert their full power, but once they lock their whereabouts in advance and secretly seize the first hand to launch a sneak attack, as an opponent, they will often be killed directly without even having time to react. This is in line with the Soul Hunter's beliefs, so the Hex Clan has had many outstanding people who have been favored by the Soul Hunter Order.
