Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 13 Five Hundred Years of the Spirit-Devouring Cat

Enter the Soul Hunter Forest.

The quality of the soul beasts in this small Soul Hunting Forest is really not good. The first few soul beasts we encountered were all cubs, and their cultivation levels were probably less than ten years, maybe even single digits. If we absorbed such a soul ring, our strength would not only not increase, but it might even regress.

Therefore, the three of them had to go deeper inside.

You have to go to the central part of the Soul Hunter Forest before you can find soul beasts that are hundreds of years old.

"Huang'er and Lingqi's soul beasts are relatively easy to find. They can be strong attack or agility attack type soul beasts of suitable age. But Gou or you, didn't you say that your martial soul will change the type of talisman based on the soul rings you absorb, thus summoning different types of soldiers? Right now, your only talisman is the Servant Sword Soldier, right? It's a defensive type of soldier who holds a shield in the left hand and a short sword in the right hand. So what kind of talisman do you want for your second type?" Lan Xue asked.

"First of all, Your Majesty, my name is Xun Yu. Secondly, for my second type of military token, I hope it is for a strong offensive type of troop, either a broadsword soldier or a spearman!" Xun Yu said.

In fact, Xun Yu's martial spirit can be considered a top-tier martial spirit that combines strong attack, agile attack, defense, and control.

Summoning servants with swords and rattan armor soldiers is a defensive tactic.

Swordsmen, spearmen, heavy hammer soldiers, heavy cavalry, and others were engaged in direct assaults, and there were even ranged attackers such as archers and crossbowmen.

The throwing knife soldier, with its extremely fast attack speed, can be considered a speed-based attacker.

If you can lock down the opponent's chain hammer and female soldier, then it falls under the category of control.

If you want to know how the female soldiers were controlled, just look at how Hu Liena controlled them; they can just follow her example.

Among all unit types, the original throwing knife soldiers, with their impressive attack range and fast attack speed, and the heavy cavalry, which was added after Nan Feihuang's customization and has the strongest impact, are definitely the strongest unit types.

Therefore, these two types of soldiers should definitely be reserved for the later stages of the game and summoned with higher-age soul rings. This way, the soul power used for summoning can be saved, ensuring a continuous supply of powerful soldiers.

As for the initial transition, Xun Yu and Nan Feihuang had discussed it.

Defense relies on swordsmen, offensive attacks on swordsmen or spearmen, ranged attacks on archers, and control on female soldiers; that should be sufficient.

In terms of control, the chain hammer is definitely better.

As for why these two ended up discussing female soldiers, well, they're both men, it's just their weird sense of humor.

"Swordsmen or spearmen, as you said, if you want this kind of military token, you need to hunt down a soul beast with high attack power and good at close-range physical attacks. I understand." Lan Xue nodded. This kind of soul beast is not too hard to find.

The group searched deeper and deeper into the area.

Gradually, they began to see some hundred-year-old soul beasts from time to time, but at most two to three hundred years old, which was definitely not enough for them who had consumed whale glue.

These children already possessed extraordinary physical qualities, and they are now at least 500-year-old soul rings, with the best outcome being 600-year-old ones.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Suddenly, several whooshing sounds came from the woods, and three or four figures could be vaguely seen darting around at an astonishing speed.

Nan Feihuang's eyes darted around, and he quickly caught their movements.

"Mother, they are three cat-like spirit beasts!"

"Huang'er, your eyesight is truly remarkable. You were able to capture the movements of a hundred-year-old agile attack-type soul beast. Many second-ring soul masters might not be able to do that," Lan Xue praised. "This should be a Soul-Devouring Cat, which is slightly inferior to the Netherworld Spirit Cat among feline soul beasts. It's fast, has sharp claws, and possesses the ability to attack and devour souls. It's quite a good soul beast. I just don't know how old it is. If it's around five hundred years old, it would be suitable for Lingqi!"

After saying that, Lan Xue circulated her soul power. Even without using her martial soul, her ice-attribute soul power was enough to freeze a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, let alone three mere hundred-year-old spirit-devouring cats.

Three "crackling" sounds were heard, the sound of something being frozen solid.

Following the direction of the sound, the three soon came across three jet-black cats.

The three were of different sizes, with the largest one being much larger than many canine spirit beasts.

"All three are indeed a hundred years old, the youngest is two hundred years old and the oldest is eight hundred years old, which is obviously not suitable. The one in the middle is not bad. According to my estimate, its age is about five hundred and fifty years old." As expected of a top student who graduated from Tianshui Academy, Lan Xue is not only powerful, but also has a very rich knowledge of soul beast theory.

"Ahhh," Lü Lingqi nodded, humming in agreement.

She could tell that the cat had good attack power and was fast, which suited her well.

Lan Xue nodded. "Okay, then you can go and break the ice."

The soul power she used to freeze these cats was not high, nor did she use her martial soul, so the freeze was not very strong. With a top-tier weapon martial soul, it should not be difficult to break it.

Lu Lingqi took out the Flying Blade Twin-Winged Halberd and slashed down at the Spirit-Devouring Cat in the middle. The enormous force instantly shattered the ice block into countless pieces, and the cat inside the ice was also torn to pieces.

A yellow spirit ring immediately took shape.

Lu Lingqi drew it in and absorbed it. As the daughter of the god Lu Bu, despite her frail appearance, the power within her was only slightly inferior to that of Dian Wei.

If she were a man, she might even surpass her father.

Seeing Lü Lingqi calmly absorbing a spirit ring that had been around for over 500 years, Lan Xue felt even more relieved. If a girl could surpass a spirit ring that had been around for over 500 years after consuming whale jelly, then her son would obviously be even less of a problem.

She had long since discovered that her son's physical talent was the strongest among this group.

This is normal, after all, when Nan Feihuang created his own character in the game, he set himself up to be the same level of martial arts as Lu Bu, possessing a body of gods and demons. Therefore, his physical strength was even above that of Dian Wei.

Absorbing a soul ring takes time, so everyone sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and engaged in simple cultivation, which could also be considered as resting their minds.

Lan Xue released the other two Soul-Devouring Cats from their ice seal and said coldly, "Get lost!"

The two kittens were already terrified and darted into the jungle without a word, showing no intention of avenging their companion.

These unintelligent soul beasts only possess the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. If Lan Xue hadn't concealed her aura just now, they would not have been so foolish as to offend this human if they had known how strong she was.

As night fell, Lan Xue lit a fire.

She possessed profound soul power and was of the ice attribute, so she was not afraid of the cold, but the children were only six years old after all.

Actually, starting a fire in such a place is very dangerous, as the firelight may attract a large number of soul beasts.

However, for this group of people, this situation was actually more than desirable, as they might be able to quickly find a suitable soul beast for Nan Feihuang and Xun Yu.

After all, they have the great expert Lan Xue here, and this is not the Star Dou Great Forest, but just a small Soul Hunting Forest. Soul Douluo level experts can walk around here with impunity.
