Chapter 7, Bad Luck
As Chen Xilin got closer and closer to the Morning Forest, the sky had darkened and the moon was in the sky.
However, today's weather was cloudy, and there were many clouds in the sky, which would block the moonlight from time to time.
One of the two people who followed Chen Xilin at the end pulled the middle-aged man beside him and whispered, "Brother, forget it this time. It's dark now. It won't work if the soul beast appears.
We originally planned to pick up the leaks. With the strength of the two of us who are in the first ring, it is difficult to protect ourselves. Forget it.
I don't want to do it this time. I always feel an inexplicable chill. Forget it, brother."
The middle-aged man beside him nodded and whispered, "Alas, it is true that people are greedy. You are right. How can we go to trouble the great soul master with our limited ability?"
The other team that followed Chen Xilin just left like that. They didn't know what a wise choice this was.
Chen Xilin walked to a place where the woods were slightly dense, observed the surroundings, then looked at the sky, smiled, and continued to move forward.
The trio hiding in the bushes in the distance were very confused.
"Brother, what is this guy doing? He looks here, then there, and then at the sky. Why? Has he found us?" one person asked in confusion.
The boss said, "I don't know. He probably hasn't found us. He's probably looking at the scenery. Let's follow him. Since he doesn't plan to rest, let's send him on his way!"
The three of them followed him quickly, and their soul rings appeared.
The two one-ring soul masters only had one white ten-year soul ring, while the big soul master had one white and one yellow.
The martial spirits of the three were all knives, but they were of different styles. There were hatchets, kitchen knives, and rusty knives.
After the three released their martial spirits and followed, the light dimmed after a few breaths.
"Where is he!" The big soul master came to the place where Chen Xilin was just now and asked in confusion.
"I don't know. He was here just now? Where did he go? Is it too dark and he hid?"
"Look carefully!"
At this time, Chen Xilin was standing on the tree, his figure blocked by branches and leaves, and the nine-ring broadsword he was carrying had been put into the storage soul guide.
Chen Xilin looked at the four bright soul rings on the ground. They were simply sitting ducks.
Chen Xilin looked at the sky. The moon was already covered by clouds. There was still a forest here, so visibility was too low.
With a swish,
Chen Xilin pulled out the dagger from his waist and carefully observed the positions of the three guys.
Chen Xilin was waiting. A good hunter needs a perfect opportunity to enter the field.
The three of them really separated to look for his traces.
Chen Xilin came to the vicinity of the great soul master very lightly.
With a swish
, he cut his throat with one knife. Chen Xilin rode on the shoulders of the great soul master and cut him with one knife. He covered his mouth with one hand to prevent him from making any sound.
After a few seconds, Chen Xilin placed the body of the great soul master steadily on the ground, and then hid behind a tree because a soul master came over.
"Really? Where is the person? How... Um~"
With a swish,
he cut another soul master's throat, and the soul master also died with his throat cut.
"Brother, second brother, I can't find him. Have you found him? Brother? Second brother? You don't want to play hide and seek, do you? I'm here to find you." Now only the fat man was left.
Chen Xilin took off his mask and hung it around his waist. The blood of the two guys just now made the mask bloody. Chen Xilin
looked at the fat man who was gradually approaching, licked the blood on the dagger, and showed a creepy smile. Chen Xilin
kept approaching the fat man, and the bloody dagger in his hand kept approaching the fat man's vitals.
"Huh? People..."
Chen Xilin made another move and solved the fat man cleanly. He was not interested in watching this kind of guy beg for mercy or be afraid.
Chen Xilin had no interest in this kind of guy.
"Hmm? Are there only these three people? The other two ran away? Hehe, interesting, you are lucky. Let me see what you have gained. You should have gained a lot if you dare to do such a thing."
Chen Xilin began to touch the corpse. At this time, a breeze blew, and the moon appeared again, illuminating the forest.
At this time, with the moonlight shining, it was discovered that there was a large pool of blood on the ground, and the bodies of three people fell in the pool of blood.
The scene on the ground and the tranquility of the forest are incompatible. It was originally a beautiful scenery, but it was so bloody.
"Well, it's good that the three idiots have gained 200 gold soul coins. It seems that they have done a lot of such things." Chen Xilin weighed the gold soul coin bags of the three people.
After wiping the blood off the dagger, Chen Xilin left. The smell of blood had attracted wild beasts and soul beasts. Chen Xilin didn't need to do anything to deal with the corpse.
Chen Xilin put away the dagger and climbed up a tree. When he was on the tree just now, he found a big tree with wide branches. He planned to rest there for a night before going deep into the Dawn Forest. The golden sunlight
in the early morning quietly penetrated into the forest, shining on the ground in patches, giving the trees and grass a warm luster. The morning light caressed this beautiful forest like a trickle, bathing everything in a soft and dreamy golden glow. Chen Xilin, who was resting on the tree, was disturbed by the dazzling sunlight and opened his hazy eyes. "Haa~ um~ um... The weather is good, it's time to get a soul ring for myself." Chen Xilin stood up and landed on the ground deftly on the jagged branches. Half a day later, "On the map, the location of the Nether Demon Dragon should be here. It seems that I ran away. I wasted so much money." Chen Xilin came to a pile of rocks. In this morning forest, there are not many trees here. It's quite empty. There are still many tree stumps around. Judging from the traces, they are directly broken. It means that it was broken by something. Chen Xilin thinks he can wait here, ah, not wait for the dragon to come. After all, there is indeed a big hole on this pile of rocks, and it exudes an unpleasant smell. This means that this is indeed the residence of a huge soul beast. Just wait a little. This Netherworld Demon Dragon is Chen Xilin's favorite soul beast at present. The Netherworld Demon Dragon and Chen Xilin's nominal martial soul, the Dark Demon Dragon, are close relatives. Both have some Dark Holy Dragon bloodline. After waiting for a long time, roar - finally Chen Xilin heard the roar of a beast. "Huh? Finally here, I've been waiting for a long time." Chen Xilin stood up, then climbed up a tree and took out the nine-ring broadsword.
Soon, a dark-colored dragon with a length of ten meters appeared, walking on four legs and covered with dark scales. These scales flickered with a faint blue light in the dark, revealing a strange aura.
"I finally waited for you. I waited for so long. If I don't hunt you, I'll be sorry for setting so many traps."
Chen Xilin sneered. He had set traps for a long time in order to successfully hunt this Netherworld Demonic Dragon.
The Netherworld Demonic Dragon walked back to the nest slowly, holding a soul beast like a cow in its mouth.
The first trap, a tripwire and a large net. The huge body of the Netherworld Demon Dragon suddenly stepped on a vine and broke it. It looked at the ground with a puzzled look. It seemed that something had just made it itchy.
As soon as the vine broke, a large net suddenly fell above the Netherworld Demon Dragon.
Roar -
the Netherworld Demon Dragon was furious. It turned out to be another trick of humans! Because only humans would do such a thing.
"Step 2." Chen Xilin used a dagger to cut off the vines on the side. As if something was triggered, various sounds continued to appear above the woods.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Countless sharp branches rushed towards the Netherworld Demon Dragon from all directions like spears.
Seeing this, the Netherworld Demon Dragon roared, and a very strong dark aura spread from its body, directly corroding those branches.
However, because Chen Xilin arranged too many branches and spears, some of the spears still concentrated on the Netherworld Demon Dragon.
Ding ding ding -
a crisp sound rang out. It turned out that the spears made of branches could not break through the scales of the Netherworld Demon Dragon at all.
"Damn it, I forgot that this is a soul beast, not an ordinary beast. How can a thousand-year soul beast be so easy to kill? I was careless."
Chen Xilin cursed inwardly, then triggered all the traps, and then took out the nine-ring broadsword.
At this time, the Netherworld Demon Dragon below was poked by branches, hit by stones, and hugged by the net. The damage was not great, but it was extremely insulting!
The Netherworld Demon Dragon roared and rushed out of the trap directly, looking around and using its sense of smell to find the traces of humans and eat him!
At this time, Chen Xilin fell from the sky, holding a knife with both hands, and chopped at the neck of the Netherworld Demon Dragon. The Rising Dragon Knife that fell from the sky, plus his own internal force and gravity.
The power of this knife must be very strong!
Dang-
a section of the blade flew out.
"Damn it!"
The nine-ring broadsword in Chen Xilin's hand broke off!
The Netherworld Demon Dragon felt pain. It felt that the neck was very painful. It was hit by something and it hurt too much.
"Bang, run away!"
Chen Xilin stepped on the head of the Netherworld Demon Dragon, jumped onto a tree, and ran away.
Chen Xilin didn't expect the thousand-year soul beast to have such strong defense. His big knife was broken. His big knife was in good condition and very sharp, but it broke.
If he didn't run now, when would he run?
The Netherworld Demon Dragon also found the human. It found that this human was extremely weak, but he could hurt it. It was tolerable, but the dragon couldn't! Eat it!
A ball of black flame suddenly condensed from the mouth of the Netherworld Demon Dragon, spraying it at the location where Chen Xilin ran away.
Chen Xilin dodged in a panic and dodged nimbly in the woods. Chen Xilin's
operation was indeed good, but the soul beast encyclopedia of the Wuhun Main Hall did not record in detail that the defense of the scales of the Netherworld Demon Dragon increased significantly after the
age of a thousand years. The scales of the Netherworld Demon Dragon, which had only just entered the millennium, were so hard that it could easily defend against the strongest attack of the Soul Master.
The knife in Chen Xilin's hand was not bad, but it was made by an ordinary blacksmith after all, and it could not break the defense of the Nether Demon Dragon.
However, the Nether Demon Dragon also has a disadvantage, that is, there is no scale armor at its throat, and its defense is relatively weak. Generally, disciples of large families hunt the Nether Demon Dragon by attacking its abdomen and throat, where there are few scale armor.
After running for an hour,
Chen Xilin finally got rid of the Nether Demon Dragon by relying on the snake skin.
Chen Xilin took out the nine-ring broadsword again, looked at the broken broadsword, and had countless words to complain in his heart, but finally just sighed.
"Huh? There is movement again?" Chen Xilin's perception is very sharp, maybe this is the sense of a martial artist.
Chen Xilin squatted on a thick branch, using the surrounding leaves to hide his figure and observe the approaching soul beast.
Soon, a beast with a strong and powerful body appeared, with four limbs on the ground, a huge and flexible tail, and black scales all over its body. Some flames appeared on its limbs. The flames were black, which made this soul beast different from others. It also had a unique horn on its head.
"Black Flame Dragon Lizard, a sub-dragon species, is about 900 years old. Hehe, I'm lucky. This Black Flame Dragon Lizard is also a soul beast that fits my needs."
Chen Xilin looked at this lizard-like soul beast. Dragon lizard, a sub-dragon species, belongs to a kind of earth dragon. The Black Flame Dragon Lizard may not be as good as the previous Nether Demon Dragon in terms of dragon blood. After all, the
Nether Demon Dragon has a trace of dark holy dragon blood, while the Black Flame Dragon Lizard is the blood of an ordinary dark earth dragon, so there is a slight difference.
However, the dark attribute of this Black Flame Dragon Lizard is much stronger. It is recorded in the soul beast encyclopedia that the black flame of the Black Flame Dragon Lizard has a very strong corrosive ability. It belongs to a kind of dark flame, which has both the burning of flames and the erosion of darkness.
Anyway, Chen Xilin was very satisfied with this soul beast, and what made him even more satisfied was that there was a hideous wound on the back of the neck of this black flame dragon lizard.
The black flame dragon lizard was covered with wounds, and the wound on the back of the neck was the largest. It was obvious that this black flame dragon lizard was injured.
"God help me!"
Chen Xilin held the nine-ring broadsword, waiting for the black flame dragon lizard to come under the tree where he was, and then he would kill it with a sword technique that fell from the sky.
Step, step, step.
The black flame dragon lizard kept approaching the tree where Chen Xilin was. Because it had just experienced a big battle and was seriously injured, it needed to go back to its nest to rest.
Fortunately, it was a sub-dragon soul beast with dragon blood and strong vitality. If it were other ordinary soul beasts, it would have died long ago with this injury.
"Now!" Chen Xilin jumped down from the tree and inserted the broadsword straight into the wound on the back of the black flame dragon lizard's neck.
Hiss, hiss,
the black flame dragon lizard let out a tragic roar, twisting its body constantly, trying to throw Chen Xilin off.
Chen Xilin firmly grasped the broadsword and thrust it deeper.
The shaking amplitude of the Black Flame Dragon Lizard was getting smaller and smaller, and the light in its eyes was getting darker and darker. After a few breaths, the Black Flame Dragon Lizard fell down.
A soul ring with a hint of purple in the middle of yellow appeared on the body of the Black Flame Dragon Lizard.
Chen Xilin naturally saw the soul ring, and a smile spread across his face.
"Finally, my efforts were not in vain. I can finally break through."
Chen Xilin was about to sit down. When absorbing the soul ring, Chen Xilin suddenly heard something, or to be more precise, many things approaching.
Out of instinctive protection, Chen Xilin climbed up the tree without thinking.
Not long after, a large group of gray wolves rushed out. There were about a hundred of them, most of them were ten-year-old gray wolves, and the leading wolf king was a soul beast of about four hundred years old.
"Damn, it's actually a pack of wolves. They are gnawing on the corpse of the black flame dragon lizard. Hurry up so that I can absorb the spirit ring." Chen Xilin was so anxious. After the soul beast died, the spirit ring condensed on the head of the soul beast's corpse could last for an hour if it was not absorbed, and would dissipate after an hour.
So Chen Xilin was anxious. How could he miss such an excellent spirit ring? He was a little far away from the spirit ring now and could not pull it over. He could only absorb it on the ground.
The group of gray wolves kept wandering on the ground, as if they would not leave.
After an hour, Chen Xilin watched the nine-hundred-year-old spirit ring shatter and dissipate, and tears flowed down his face.
How can a person be so unlucky!
