Douluo: I have a lucky magic dice

Chapter 30 The cruel rules of survival!
There were rustling sounds all around my ears, and the sounds of various insects were endless. Under my feet was a soft and slippery layer of rotten leaves. The air had a faint earthy smell and some strange complex smells. It was not unpleasant, but it was not pleasant either. At least Ji Xinghe thought so. However, the power of various elements in the air here was obviously much higher than that in the outside world.

Whoosh, a strange sound suddenly rang in Ji Xinghe's ears. Before he could react, a black shadow appeared in front of him.

Snapped!
Ji Xinghe subconsciously waved his hand and slapped it out. He felt a sharp pain in his palm. He subconsciously released his Sky Eye martial spirit to capture the information of the black shadow in front of him.

【Ironclad Beetle】

【Ten Years of Cultivation】

With the help of the Sky Eye perspective, Ji Xinghe successfully discovered an egg-sized beetle on the tree on his left. It was iron-gray in color, and it was the beetle that attacked Ji Xinghe just now.

Buzz... The iron beetle that just flew up was instantly caught by a bright red tongue. Ji Xinghe looked closely and saw that it was a soul beast similar to a chameleon lying on the tree trunk hunting.

【Wood Lizard】

【Ten Years of Cultivation】

Cui Jing looked at this scene and said calmly:
"The number of insect soul beasts is always the largest on the continent. Many insect soul beasts cannot break through the ten-year limit in their entire lives, which makes them the bottom of the food chain in the major soul beast forests."

Ji Xinghe nodded in agreement, and then the two of them continued to go deeper. Led by Cui Jing, they soon entered the outer circle of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"It seems that there are only insect soul beasts and some herbivorous soul beasts along the way. For example, the leader of the deer herd just now seems to be a hundred-year-old soul beast." Ji Xinghe couldn't help but feel a little confused. After all, in his opinion, the Xingdou Great Forest is a paradise for soul beasts. There should be powerful soul beasts everywhere. How come he hasn't seen a decent predator after walking for several kilometers?

"Carnivorous soul beasts all have territories, and they use their own special smells to divide their territories." Cui Jing explained to Ji Xinghe while observing the surroundings:

"Starting from the age of 100, soul beasts are eligible to compete for territory. Take tiger soul beasts as an example. A tiger soul beast that has cultivated for 100 years needs a territory of at least thousands of square kilometers to meet its hunting needs. It is difficult for top predators like this tiger soul beast to appear within these thousands of square kilometers."

"And carnivorous soul beasts that have cultivated for ten years are not eligible to fight for territory. As desperate people in the Star Dou Great Forest, they eat wherever they go. If they are not careful, they will be hunted by predators in the territory."

Ji Xinghe was puzzled at this moment. "Something is wrong. The territory of a hundred-year-old soul beast is thousands of square kilometers. The territory required by other powerful soul beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest must be even larger, unless..."

Ji Xinghe frowned slightly and said, "Unless the territory is covered."

"You are very smart." Cui Jing smiled and said, "The Xingdou Great Forest is divided into four areas according to the distribution pattern of soul beasts: the outer area, the mixed area, the core area, and the forbidden area."

"The territories of soul beasts with a cultivation base below a thousand years can only be in the outer area, while the mixed area is the territory of soul beasts with a cultivation base below ten thousand years. Soul beasts in the mixed area can appear in the outer area at will for hunting, so do you understand? Soul beasts in the outer area, whether they are herbivorous soul beasts or carnivorous soul beasts, are all prey for soul beasts in the mixed area. This is a huge hunting ground, and we humans are also within their hunting range!" Ji Xinghe's eyes shrank slightly. So that's how it is. In this way, the waste of resources in the Xingdou Great Forest is greatly reduced. "Then the core area is mainly composed of ten thousand year soul beasts. The ten thousand year soul beasts in the core area can also hunt soul beasts in the mixed area and the outer area at will, so the territories of these hundred-year soul beasts are only applicable to soul beasts of the same level."

Cui Jing nodded and said, "That's right. Those who can oppose you are all of the same level. Those who are stronger than you will never give you a chance to oppose them. They will just crush you to death at any time."

While the two were talking, they had already entered the bottom of a stream. Cui Jing suddenly dodged sideways like a female leopard and hid behind a tree trunk, while Ji Xinghe also hid behind a tree beside him. At this time, Ji Xinghe had not yet discovered any danger. He leaned his back against the tree trunk, slowly stuck his head out and glanced around. A hundred meters upstream of them, there was a soul beast with a body length of more than three meters drinking water. Because the two were downwind just now, the soul beast did not have time to notice them.

【Ironback Monitor Lizard】

【Ten Years of Cultivation】

Cui Jing gave Ji Xinghe a look, waved her hand, and said softly: "Ten-year soul beast, go up and try it yourself."

If they were ordinary disciples, Cui Jing would definitely not let them fight soul beasts right now, but Ji Xinghe was different. Ji Xinghe was a genius and a monster. Cui Jing had high expectations for him, so the way of training him was naturally different.

"Yeah." Ji Xinghe nodded gently, but his heart was beating wildly. Although he had been a human for two lifetimes, he had never killed even a chicken in his previous life. Now that he was facing such a huge soul beast, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

An iron-back lizard with a body length of more than three meters, which is larger than the Commando giant lizard he had heard of in his previous life. However, since he is about to become a soul master, fighting with soul beasts is inevitable. Ji Xinghe took a deep breath and began to adjust his thunder breathing. At the same time, he also released his martial soul, and his whole body instantly rose taller.

Relying on the advantage of the downwind direction and the shade of dense trees, Ji Xinghe successfully lurked twenty meters away from the iron-back monitor lizard. Just when he was about to launch a sneak attack, the iron-back monitor lizard, which had originally lowered its head and spit out its tongue to drink water, suddenly turned its head and looked in the direction where he was hiding.

hiss……

The Iron-backed Monitor Lizard let out a hissing sound instantly, and with a splash, it stepped on the water and rushed out of the stream the moment it discovered humans. Its speed was so fast that even Ji Xinghe was stunned. Is this a soul beast?
In just a few breaths, the iron-backed monitor lizard had rushed in front of Ji Xinghe. The cheetah-like agility of its body surprised Ji Xinghe. In an instant, he forgot all the moves he had just thought of, and subconsciously clenched his fist and smashed towards the iron-backed monitor lizard.

boom!
Just like hitting a steel plate, Ji Xinghe's right hand, with flesh and blood torn, hit the iron-back monitor lizard's jaw. The three-meter-long body was actually knocked flying by Ji Xinghe's punch.

Ji Xinghe was slightly stunned and felt a little dazed. Am I so strong?
The stunned Ironback monitor lizard rolled on the ground twice with fear in its eyes, and quickly turned around and fled into the creek. Ji Xinghe was not willing to let him go, so he started to chase him. However, at this moment, the movement of his sea of ​​​​spiritual sea made him slow down, and the bronze magic dice in his body actually vibrated irregularly at this moment.

What happened? It was not even midnight yet, what was going on? Ji Xinghe was a little panicked.
