Chapter 9 Fire Dragon
The outer area of the Star Forest.
some where.
Zhang Long is being chased by several soul beasts.
boom.
A soul beast shaped like a cheetah with several lightning bolts wrapped around its body leaped in front of Zhang Long, then spewed lightning bolts from its mouth towards Zhang Long.
Zhang Long looked at the terrifying lightning that was shooting towards him. A breath of death rushed towards him. He hurriedly dodged to the side, then he rolled over, and then he leaped to avoid the attack of another soul beast.
Then he leaped and climbed a few times and came to the top of the tree. He looked at the soul beasts below and saw that the eyes of these soul beasts were full of hatred and murderous intent when they looked at him.
He knew it would be difficult to resolve the issue.
Soul beasts are different from wild beasts. Not only do they possess powerful abilities, they also have IQs far exceeding those of wild beasts.
A hundred-year-old soul beast has an IQ comparable to that of a four or five-year-old child.
A thousand-year-old soul beast has an IQ comparable to that of an eleven or twelve-year-old child.
The ten thousand year old soul beast has an IQ comparable to that of an adult.
However, the hundred thousand year soul beasts were able to speak.
Of course, having intelligence doesn't mean you can be on par with humans.
Just like the ancient people in the ancient tribal era, their IQ is not inferior to that of today's humans. However, any human today can make the ancients stunned.
The same is true for soul beasts. Although they have extremely high IQs, they lack accumulated knowledge, and they act mainly based on their instincts.
And their instinct is to kill.
Then there is hatred.
Soul beasts with intelligence understand one thing: humans are their enemies. Any humans who enter the Star Dou Great Forest are their enemies who come to hunt them.
Use a trial card?
Zhang Long thought.
The experience card is valid for one hour. If he fails to find a soul beast that meets his requirements within one hour, he will not only lose the opportunity to hunt soul beasts, but he may also stay in this Star Dou Great Forest forever.
At this moment, the thunder-attributed leopard-type soul beast launched an attack, with lightning coming out of its mouth, and the violent lightning attacked Zhang Long.
Zhang Long did not dodge.
He looked determined.
Then the next moment, a powerful force burst out from his body. This powerful force gave him the illusion that he was the king and invincible.
There is no soul ring.
The experience card only improved his realm, raising his realm to Soul King, which means that he now possesses Soul King-level soul power.
He looked at the lightning that was striking him with contempt, then he raised his hand.
boom.
Lightning struck him, and suddenly black smoke came out of his body. Lightning flashed on his body, he opened his mouth and spewed out black smoke, and his paralyzed body fell downwards.
Apparently, not only did he fail to block the attack, he was also killed instantly by it.
Fortunately, as he fell, he broke free from the paralysis, activated his innate skills, and dissolved the lightning on his body. Then he exerted force on his feet and leaped forward. At the same time, a light flashed in his hand, and a pistol appeared. He shot directly at the soul beast below.
boom.
With the blessing of his Soul King-level soul power, the bullet he fired was far faster and more powerful than before. However, because his body was paralyzed by the lightning just now, and his current surge in strength, he was unable to perfectly control himself for a moment, resulting in his shot missing the soul beast. The bullet fell to the ground, creating deep pits the size of millstones in the ground.
When the soul beasts saw the deep pit on the ground, they no longer looked as rebellious and bloodthirsty as before. Instead, they were filled with fear. However, they did not choose to flee in all directions, but instead attacked Zhang Long.
Zhang Long landed on the ground, exerted force on his feet, and bounced up, avoiding the attack of the soul beast, then he aimed at a soul beast.
boom.
The bullet shot out and went straight through the soul beast's head.
Instant kill.
This is normal.
The attack power of his gun spirit is far beyond any weapon of the same level. Now he possesses the soul power of a five-ring soul king, comparable to a five-thousand-year soul beast. It is normal and reasonable for him to kill a hundred-year soul beast with one shot.
After killing the soul beast, Zhang Long did not stop attacking, and the soul beast did not stop either, continuing to attack and releasing gorgeous soul skills.
Zhang Long dodged the attacks of the soul beasts by moving flexibly, and then he shot at a soul beast. Bang.
Soul beast, death.
The successive deaths of two soul beasts greatly reduced the morale of the soul beasts, and at the same time, the fear in their eyes became more and more intense.
However, as soul beasts and in their home turf, they did not choose to escape.
At this moment, the thunder leopard was covered with lightning, and then its body flashed a few times and rushed directly in front of Zhang Long.
This is its innate soul skill, Thunder Illusion.
Zhang Long looked at Lei Bao who was rushing towards him, his pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw the other's bloody mouth, but he didn't look terrified. He first threw the gun in his hand into the air, then he performed Tai Chi Cloud Hand and slapped Lei Bao away with a slap. At this moment, the gun just fell, he reached out to catch the falling gun, and fired a shot at Lei Bao who was slapped away.
boom.
The bullet pierced through Lei Bao's head and blood splattered.
The whole process was done in one go.
Thunderstorm was killed, and the other soul beasts fled.
Zhang Long did not chase after them, but put away his martial soul. He looked at the soul beasts he had just killed, and saw light shining from their bodies. Then the light gathered on them, condensing into gorgeous soul rings.
He glanced at the gorgeous yellow soul ring on Thunderstorm's body, shook his head, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that it only lasts for three hundred years."
If this thunder leopard had cultivated for 600 years, he would consider absorbing its soul ring. After all, adding thunder attribute to the bullets was also his plan.
Unfortunately not.
He took out the map from the storage soul guide and determined his approximate location. Then he checked the special locations marked on the map.
Most of these locations were pools of water and mountains, and his eyes were fixed on the volcano mark on the map.
The volcanic land is rich in fire energy and is the favorite place for fire-attribute soul beasts. Therefore, there must be many fire-attribute soul beasts there, and he found a fire-attribute dragon soul beast that met his requirements there.
The probability is greater.
……
Half an hour later.
Zhang Long came to a crater.
He was lucky, as there was a 680-year-old fire-attribute soul beast here, and it was a dragon-type fire-attribute soul beast.
Fire dragon.
boom.
He first fired a shot at the side of the Fire Dragon, then he looked at the angry Fire Dragon and said with a smile: "I like your spirit ring. If you lose, your spirit ring will be mine, and if I lose, I will be your food."
The soul beast clan respects strength.
Therefore, if the soul beast can be defeated head-on, the difficulty of absorbing the soul ring of the soul beast will be reduced. This is a little trick for soul masters to absorb soul rings recorded in the soul master book.
In addition to this little trick, there is another little trick, which is to kill and torture the soul beast, making the soul beast's life worse than death, and making the soul beast feel that death is a relief. The difficulty of absorbing the soul ring produced by such a soul beast will also be reduced.
(This description is in the original work, from Tang San.)
"Roar."
The fire dragon roared at Zhang Long.
There was a fierce murderous intent in its eyes. It didn't expect that a mere human cub would dare to challenge it in a duel. This was a shame.
Then it opened its mouth and spewed out flames.
brush.
Zhang Long pushed hard on his feet and dodged to the side, then he raised his hands. He held a pistol in each hand and shot directly at the fire dragon.
boom.
boom.
The bullet hit the fire dragon, causing its scales to explode and blood to splatter.
"Ow."
A scream came from the fire dragon's mouth.
At this moment, it no longer had the arrogance it had just had, but only fear. It had never expected that a human cub could launch such a terrible attack.
