Seeming to see that Tang San's attitude was too firm,
Qin Feng turned his head with a troubled look, placing his persuasion target on Da Shi, the originator of the matter.
"Yu Teacher, as Little San's teacher, why don't you persuade him?
This is a spirit with innate full soul power. If something goes wrong, it would be such a pity."
And the final result was also obvious. How could you persuade a tiger and wolf to give up the meat that's already in its mouth?
Yu Xiaogang, in terms of strength and ability, might not even be comparable to the feces of a tiger or even a sheep,
but his ambition was even more exaggerated and unrealistic than any tiger or wolf. Otherwise, he wouldn't add the words 'my dignified spirit master's world's spirit theory grandmaster' to every sentence.
Faced with Qin Feng's "kind" persuasion, Da Shi very proudly introduced the spirit mimicry theory, and vaguely expressed his disdain for his worries.
… …
At the entrance of Hunting Soul Forest, there were several groups of people who specialized in or did intelligence business part-time.
Qin Feng asked Zhou Huaian, who was Zhou Yu'an's grandfather, that old man with a goatee, to help choose a relatively reliable one.
Then, the group studied the spirit beast marking chart for a while, and finally determined that three spirit beasts were the most suitable.
The first was a white-scaled snake of about four hundred years.
The advantage was that its cultivation was closest to the limit, and it was also the only one over four hundred years old, under 423 years, which was the first ring limit described in Yu Xiaogang's spirit's ten core competitiveness theory.
The disadvantage was that this was a low-level spirit beast.
In addition to being divided into ten years, hundred years, thousand years, ten thousand years, and one hundred thousand years in terms of cultivation,
spirit beast's qualities, or bloodline levels, were also divided into low, middle, high, top, super, and god-level, which is divine beast, just like the classification method of spirit qualities.
The spirit ring produced by low-level spirit beasts would also be of very low quality. Whether it was the bonus to a person's physical fitness or the bonus of the spirit ring to the spirit, it was relatively weak.
The second spirit beast that the group chose was the datura snake that Tang San was originally supposed to absorb.
Its advantage was very simple: its quality reached high or even approached top-tier.
In the original book, Yu Xiaogang was shocked when he saw it and said, "How could this kind of ferocious fellow appear in the periphery of Hunting Soul Forest?"
And later commented on it, saying,
"The datura snake's toxicity is extremely strong. Not only does it have a special paralyzing effect, but it also has a very powerful destructive ability to the body and nerves.
Moreover, its scales are very tough and difficult to damage with ordinary swords, and its movement speed is extremely fast. It is one of the most terrifying existences among poison attribute spirit beasts."
The disadvantage of this datura snake was that its age was only three hundred and sixty years, which was the lowest among the three choices.
In addition, the danger of hunting it was extremely high. According to the intelligence merchant's description, it had taken the lives of no less than two dozen spirit master's, and many spirit elder's would deliberately avoid it when acting.
The last spirit beast that the group chose was a silver ring snake of three hundred and ninety years.
Its quality was between the white-scaled snake and the datura snake. It was a mid-level spirit beast. Its toxicity was not inferior to that of the datura snake, but its body strength was far inferior.
As for those spirit beasts below three hundred years, bing qing yu jie said that he didn't even want to take a look at them.
Qin Feng didn't interrupt the whole time.
He just watched Yu Xiaogang quietly, and after a series of analyses, he decided to make the silver ring snake the final hunting target.
His reason was very simple: even if Blue Silver Grass was strengthened in toughness, it would still be Blue Silver Grass, and it couldn't be strengthened much at all. Therefore, toxicity was the focus.
And among the two spirit beasts with the strongest toxins, the datura snake and the silver ring snake, the silver ring snake had a higher age and was closer to the limit he had researched.
To this, Qin Feng smiled without saying a word.
Could the qualitative difference between a high-level spirit beast and a mid-level spirit beast be compensated by this mere difference of less than one-tenth of the age?
The super spirit beast Titan Giant Ape, when it only had several hundred years of cultivation, began to be able to rival many ten thousand-year-level low-level and even mid-level spirit beasts.
It was fortunate that this guy didn't choose that four-hundred-year-old white-scaled snake, otherwise people would laugh their heads off. Blue Silver Emperor was a top-quality spirit!
Although his study and research on spirit theory had not yet begun, he had read the original book after all, and he already had several guesses in his mind.
The limit of the spirit ring's age was definitely inseparable from the strength gap between one's own spirit quality and the quality of the absorbed spirit ring.
Would the maximum upper limit that a top-quality spirit could withstand be the same as that of a low-quality spirit absorbing a top-quality spirit ring?
I'm afraid it's not the same, and the gap between the two might be a little big.
… …
Before long, under the guidance of the intelligence merchant, after planning a safe route to the silver ring snake's territory, the group set off with excitement.
And the safe route was indeed a safe route. Although it was winding and twisting, they only encountered some ordinary spirit beasts of ten years along the way.
Spotted Cat, Black Shadow Crow, Netherwolf, and so on,
Every time they encountered one, Yu Grandmaster would very pretentiously introduce their names, characteristics, weaknesses, attack methods, etc. At least on the surface, it looked very "professional."
After about two hours, after passing through the entire ten-year zone and about to reach the silver ring snake's territory, Luo San Pao suddenly cried out "Luo Luo", "Luo Luo".
"It's appeared, Little San."
Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in surprise,
Tang San quickly took out a large bottle of light yellow powder from the spirit tool and sprinkled it around.
Snake repellent powder, as the name suggests, can repel creatures that like dark auras, such as snakes, insects, rats, and ants. It is an essential for spirit master's adventuring in the world.
This was the hunting method they had discussed in advance.
Use snake repellent powder to restrict the target spirit beast's range of movement and allow themselves to always stand in a safe place, which can avoid danger.
Also, under Tang San's rapid sprinkling, a large snake with a body length of about five or six meters was immediately driven out of the forest.
The snake's head was slightly flattened and oval-shaped, with black scales all over its body. Only at the neck position were there three semi-conspicuous silver horizontal stripes, and the fourth one was almost close to forming.
The snake opened its mouth wide, constantly spitting out its tongue at the group, and making a hissing sound, which looked very terrifying.
After observing for a few seconds, Yu Xiaogang once again exclaimed excitedly:
"Little San, do you see the horizontal stripes on the snake's neck? That is the source of its name and also the symbol of this kind of spirit beast.
Before the silver ring snake evolves to a thousand years, it will have one more silver ring on its neck for every hundred years of cultivation, and its toxicity will also increase greatly because of this.
The intelligence was right. It is extremely close to four hundred years. Maybe it is only one or two years away from breaking through. It is the most suitable spirit beast for you that can be found here."
After explaining how to identify the age of the silver ring snake, Grandmaster himself also took out a bottle of snake repellent powder and sprinkled it around, and directed his disciple:
"Snakes are most afraid of snake repellent powder. Silver ring snakes generally do not attack proactively. It is best to draw a circle and continue to compress its range of activity inward, so that it has nowhere to escape."
"Okay."
Tang San hurriedly and obediently went around behind the silver ring snake to block its retreat.
The light yellow lines drawn by the snake repellent powder quickly connected to each other to form a complete circle, and it was still constantly shrinking inward.
And that silver ring snake could only be forced to retreat, shrinking its range of activity, constantly spitting out its snake letter in circles, appearing unusually anxious and uneasy.
"Little San, do you see that? This is the role of wisdom, and it is also the place where humans are different from and superior to spirit beast's. Hunting spirit… may not necessarily rely on brute force alone.
After restricting it to a very small range of activity, we can attack from a distance and easily exhaust its life."
As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Qin Feng triumphantly,
His expression seemed to be saying: Did you see that? What if I'm weak? I can still easily hunt a hundred-year-old spirit beast, or even one that is infinitely close to four hundred years old.
However, in the next instant,
The silver ring snake, which had been forced to the extreme, suddenly made a ruthless decision, forcibly broke through the blockade of the snake repellent powder, and rushed up to take a big bite at Luo San Pao's hind leg.
Qin Feng, who was watching from the side, almost burst out laughing on the spot.
He was a little regretful just now, but this time, with himself here, Da Shi wouldn't encounter his original misfortune. After all, he didn't want that farting spirit ability to pollute the surrounding air.
He never expected that the battle hadn't even started yet, and this guy had already been hit first, and it was because of his smugness. This is simply…
Too wonderful!
