Chapter 18: Soul Hunting Forest
Early the next morning, the two of them left Notting College after asking for leave.
The nearest Soul Hunting Forest to Notting City is just four hundred miles away.
The Soul Hunting Forest is different from wild soul beast forests such as the Sunset Forest and the Star Dou Forest. The soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest are all kept in captivity by humans for the convenience of low-level soul masters to come and attach soul rings.
Moreover, in ordinary soul hunting forests, there are basically no soul beasts that are too old. Millennium soul beasts are relatively rare. The most common ones are soul beasts that are a hundred years old or less, suitable for level 10 soul masters or level 20 soul masters. Come and get the soul ring.
However, to go to the Soul Hunting Forest, you still need a Soul Hunting Warrant. As long as the soul power level reaches the bottleneck of ten, you can get one by spending some gold soul coins when you go to the Soul Hunting Hall.
And three noble guarantees are needed to obtain the soul hunting warrant? This is quite simple. There are simply not many nobles in the Tiandou Empire.
As long as you are a three-ring soul master and join the official Tiandou Empire, you can obtain the title of baron.
However, most of the noble titles do not come with fiefs, and this type of noble titles without fiefs is one of the best ways for the Tiandou Empire to win over soul masters.
Ye Chen and Xiao Wu left Notting Academy and walked directly towards the Spirit Hall.
After spending some gold soul coins to get a soul hunting warrant in Wuhun Palace, he hired a carriage and headed towards the soul hunting forest.
......
The carriage was not very fast, and there were no highways in Douluo Continent. Starting in the morning, Ye Chen and Xiao Wu arrived at the Soul Hunting Town at the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest at ten o'clock the next day.
The soul-hunting town was a bit noisy, with many people coming and going. Ye Chen felt that it was a bit more lively than Notting City, but the population was a bit smaller.
The two came by carriage, and they didn't feel tired even now. In addition, Ye Chen had made preparations in advance in Notting City, so there was no need to buy supplies in the Soul Hunting Town.
So, Ye Chen and Xiao Wu went directly to the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest.
From a distance, Ye Chen saw a huge steel fence on the outside of the Soul Hunting Forest. A large number of spikes were exposed towards the side of the forest. The height of the fence was more than ten meters and it looked extremely solid.
That's not to mention, outside the fence, a group of hundreds of soldiers was cruising there. These soldiers were all wearing refined iron full-body armor, holding long spears, and their military appearance was strict. The hundred steel warriors stood together, giving people a chilling feeling.
At this time, Ye Chen was also a little confused. Is this Soul Hunting Forest the property of the Spirit Hall or the property of the Tiandou Empire?
But I think it must have been at the beginning that this place was the territory of the Tiandou Empire, and then it was developed and utilized by Wuhun Palace. The two parties formed a partnership to do business?
After showing the soul hunting warrant, the soldiers guarding the entrance to the soul hunting forest allowed the two to pass.
Although they were a little surprised that only two children came to the Soul Hunting Forest, they knew that those who could add soul rings at a young age were not simple people, and they did not need to worry about waiting for others.
......
As soon as he entered the Soul Hunting Forest, looking at the towering trees around him and feeling the peaceful atmosphere in the forest, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel intoxicated.
"Xiaochen, you have to be careful. This is the Soul Hunting Forest, it's very dangerous! But you don't have to be afraid. Sister Xiaowu is here and will protect you!"
Xiao Wu said to Ye Chen.
"Ahem, Xiao Wu, I'm not as weak as you think. I brought you here just to avoid any accidents when absorbing the soul ring."
"Um, don't you think that soul beasts are all weak? You, a little soul warrior, can hunt them down, right?"
Xiao Wu's eyes widened and she said with surprise.
"Look~, let me show you my little baby!"
With that said, Ye Chen took out a Type 95 automatic rifle from his storage necklace.
The reason why Ye Chen chose this weapon is because the Type 95 is not big, with a length of just over 5.8 centimeters, and a caliber of millimeters. In terms of recoil, he can currently bear it, and it is very suitable for him.
Moreover, the Type 95 bullets are quite powerful. They are enough to penetrate an 8mm steel plate at a distance of meters. I believe it will not be difficult to blow out the head of a four-ring soul sect with one shot.
"What is this?"
Seeing Ye Chen take out a black iron lump, Xiao Wu was a little confused.
"This thing is called a gun. Let alone a century-old soul beast, even some thousand-year soul beasts probably can't withstand its power."
To be honest, using firearms to deal with soul beasts is much less effective than dealing with soul masters.
Because the defense of soul beasts is generally much stronger than that of soul masters, and some scaly soul masters are simply born with body armor, Ye Chen doesn't know if the firearm in his hand can break the defense of a thousand-year defense soul beast. Scale armor.
Moreover, many soul beasts are quite big. Even if the bullet breaks through the defense, if it misses the vital point, it is almost like scratching an itch.
"You said this firearm can kill a thousand-year-old soul beast?"
Xiao Wu's face was full of disbelief, and she quickly put her head forward and looked at the dark muzzle in front of her, wondering what the secret was inside.
Seeing Xiao Wu's head reach under the muzzle of his gun, Ye Chen immediately twitched the corner of his mouth and moved the muzzle away.
You know, as self-defense weapons, the firearms in Ye Chen's storage necklace are all loaded. Although they will not misfire easily because of their good quality, who can say for sure?
If something went wrong, would this stupid little rabbit be shot in the head?
"Be careful, don't put yourself at the point of a gun. Bullets don't have eyes."
Xiao Wu: "..."
Then, looking at Xiao Wu's expression of believing that there was something wrong, Ye Chen shot directly at a towering tree nearby.
"bump--"
The muzzle flashed, and the bullets shot out directly at a speed invisible to the naked eye, drilling deeply into the trunk of the tree and throwing up a lot of splinters.
Although the effect of bullets is not gorgeous, ordinary soul masters below the fifth level are absolutely unable to withstand them unless they use defensive soul skills or dodge in advance.
"Hi~, so powerful."
Seeing how Ye Chen could make such a big movement with just a tap of his fingers completely refreshed Xiao Wu's outlook on things.
"Now you believe it~"
"Yeah, what a powerful firearm!"
Xiao Wu had to admit that the gun in Ye Chen's hand was extremely powerful.
"Okay, I'm going to start looking for the soul beast."
With that said, Ye Chen opened the system mall and bought a lucky card worth one million gold soul coins in the mall.
Although the note on the back of the lucky card only says that it slightly increases luck, it still has a bonus, right?
With the lucky bonus, it might be easier to find a soul beast that suits you, and it might be easier to obtain the best soul skills.
And Ye Chen guessed that there might be a greater chance of soul bones exploding.
