Chapter 366 Seeing an Old Friend Again

[Temporary file-number three]

Soul Beast: Storm Shooter.

Year: Between 7300 and 7500.

Main features: A falcon with very conspicuous bright yellow feathers. Different from the normal wing structure of birds, Storm Archer is extremely rare and has a complete set of additional metacarpal bones and phalanges on the wrist to provide gripping capabilities.

According to literature records and field observations, the most common attack method of storm shooters is to shoot feathers like blades wrapped in the wind, in order to cause significant penetrating damage to the target.

After a long period of high-intensity suppression, the Storm shooter was forced to use a second attack method that could be considered a "killing move" in order to escape. By manipulating the wind to control the feathers, he launches a hidden second attack from an unexpected angle. If a response plan is not prepared in advance, it is easy to cause attrition.

Cause of death: Fractured wings, multiple impacts and contusions all over the body, and a penetrating wound to the brain.

Soul skill: Wing scattering.

[Temporary file-number four]

Soul Beast: Swift Flying Squirrel.

Year: more than 1,700 years, less than 2,000 years.

Main characteristics: The body is brown and the belly is gray-white. It looks similar to an ordinary squirrel, and there is almost no difference in size. The eyes will emit purple light. When the flying membrane is opened, lines ranging from light orange to orange-red can be seen at the connection between the flying membrane and the body. The approximate year can be judged by the number and depth of the lines.

It has no means of attack, almost no defense, and its absolute speed is not top-notch. However, its super level of reaction ability gives it extremely strong survivability and makes it more difficult to capture.

Cause of death: Excessive blood loss from multiple scratches all over the body and a penetrating wound to the brain.

Soul Skill: Enhanced reaction speed.

[Temporary file-number five]

Soul Beast: Skeleton Owl.

Year: 8100 to 8300.

Main features: The whole body is almost pure white, and the bottom of the wings and tail feathers are light gray. The left eye is light blue like the ocean, and the right eye is bright blood red, with continuously changing patterns like a kaleidoscope.

The only attack method that can be judged by the naked eye is the curved and sharp bird claws. The mental aspect is not yet known, only that it is an illusion.

Cause of death: Defeated in an illusion confrontation and died of mental breakdown.

Soul skills: ■■■■.

"The heroic vanguard, wing dispersion, and reaction speed enhancement are indeed correct. They are all within Big Brother's plan."

Except for Meng Yiran's soul skill, which was required to be kept secret by Gu You due to special reasons, Lan Ta recorded all the others in detail.

Look through the soul hunting records and read the words written in his own hand again. After a review, the doubts that had always existed in Lanta's heart were finally solved.

"Ata, what are you looking at?"

Meng still sat down close to Lanta's body, holding her slender wrist. Scanning the notebook in her hand, she said with some complaints about Gu You in her heart: "Yu Feng, Rongrong, and my soul beast. As expected of Atta, he is serious."

"But it's okay to review it after you get back, right?"

"Sister Yiran, it's hot."

Lanta wanted to take his hand out, but after trying it, he found that this action made Meng Yiran hug him tighter. He could only put down his thoughts, shook his head, and replied: "It's not a review, I'm just thinking about big brother's plan."

Now ten days have passed since the conversation between Gu You and Qin Ming, and the soul hunting operation has finally come to an end. Once you successfully leave the Sunset Forest, you can officially declare that this soul hunt is a great success.

"Xiaoyou's plan?"

Meng Yiran looked up and saw Gu You whistling by the campfire, holding a brush in his hand and listening to Yufeng bragging about his barbecue experience.

It was evening now, the moon had just risen, and whistles danced lightly in the air. There was a big bird that had been stripped clean on the fire. Ning Rongrong turned the handle and looked at it. The uneaten turtle meat was cut into small portions and skewered with vegetables. It was ground with graphite and stone and stuck one by one next to the fire.

Is this the Holy Soul Village?

Meng Yiran was speechless, shook his head, and said in a slightly disgusted tone: "You are overthinking, it's just normal soul hunting."

Meng still believed in the detailed plans for choosing soul beasts and soul skills. Gu You, a scholar who is famous in mainland China for his research on martial arts and soul skills, should do this as a matter of course.

There is also a detailed plan for hunting souls, which is a bit over the top. In the final analysis, soul hunting was just a trivial matter, and she didn't think Gu You would waste a lot of time on trivial matters.

Meng Yiran didn't notice at all that her way of thinking had many similarities with Lanta.

For example, she doesn't think Gu You can't do it, but she thinks Gu You won't focus on the goal he is destined to achieve.

Seeing that Meng Yiran didn't notice the deeper meaning, Lanta looked a little happy. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said softly: "No, brother, he never does unnecessary things."

"Teacher Qin Ming, but he didn't take action even once."

Seeing that Meng Yiran still didn't believe it, Lanta turned the notebook forward and said, "The order of hunting soul beasts is the answer carefully arranged by the elder brother."

She pointed to the huge [Temporary File-Number 1] and said to Meng Yiran: "Let's start with the first thorn-horned vicious turtle."

On the side, Lanta shares her top-secret discovery with Meng Yiran. Under the big tree on the right rear, Qin Ming crossed his arms and silently watched everything in front of him.

Specifically, I was looking at ancient travel.

Compared to Lan Ta, who reviewed the situation afterwards, Qin Ming's rich combat experience allowed him to see through the context earlier.

Because of this, he was shocked a thousand times more than Lanta, and his brain was so high.

First is the first soul beast, the thorn-horned fierce alligator turtle, which provides the brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo with the gravity-based soul skill [Heroic Vanguard]. The effect of this soul skill is the same as the innate ability of the thorn-horned fierce alligator turtle, which can pull the target within the range towards itself.

At one glance, it is a variant of Zhao Wuji's [Gravity Squeeze]. Losing the attack method that makes the opponent bear huge pressure from all directions at the same time, in exchange for a larger impact range and faster pulling speed.

Then there is the Storm Shooter, which is the second soul beast hunted by Gu You.

Soul beasts with flying ability have always been a difficulty for soul masters to hunt souls. On this basis, the Storm Shooter has long-range attack means and good defense. It is difficult to hit it and you have to control the force so that it can't be killed.

In general, it is a trouble in trouble. Qin Ming plans to take action himself to prevent killing it and spending time looking for the second one.

But he didn't expect that before he could do anything, this poor Storm Shooter was played around by the two brothers of the Shi family.

The feathers he shot out could not penetrate the shield, and he was pulled back by [Heroic Vanguard] every minute when he tried to escape. He hit the shield dozens of times and was attacked from both sides. Fortunately, he died happily under Yufeng's sword in the end, otherwise his soul bone would have exploded.

Then came the third soul beast, the Swift Flying Squirrel.

The Swift Flying Squirrel, which had almost no defense and was very small and agile, was easy to hunt, but because the person needed was Ning Rongrong, who was a support system, it was more difficult to capture than the Storm Shooter.

It should have been like this, but the key was that this problem was easily solved by Yufeng's newly acquired fourth soul skill.

[Wing Scattering], just hearing the name may make people mistakenly think it is an attack soul skill, but in fact this soul skill is a thorough state soul skill. It makes the strong wind raised by the third soul skill become delicate and soft, turning it into a wind that can control feathers.

Everything that follows becomes very simple.

The tornado trapped the Swift Flying Squirrel in the middle, and the sharp feathers mixed in it quickly opened several holes on the Swift Flying Squirrel. Then release the injured Swift Flying Squirrel and watch it fall down due to excessive blood loss.

The fourth soul beast is the Skeleton Owl, which was dealt with by Meng Yiran alone, so there is no need to consider it.

Finally, remove the Moonlight Flower that Lanta accidentally encountered. Three of the five soul beasts are mutually restrained. Even if Qin Ming didn't come, these children alone could complete this soul hunting without difficulty.

For no reason, an incredible guess flashed through Qin Ming's mind.

'It can't be'

Seeing that Yufeng didn't know what he said, Gu You slapped his shoulder and laughed. Qin Ming pinched his eyebrows and silently wiped away the guess.

It must be too tired recently. When I return to the academy, I will find Dean Flanders and Vice Dean Zhao Wuji to have a drink.

"Xiaoyou."

"What's wrong?"

"Come here."

Gu You turned around and saw Qin Ming waving at him, reminding Yufeng to continue brushing the sauce on the roasted bird, and walked to Qin Ming in two steps.

"Teacher, what are your instructions?"

'Be careful not to kill Yufeng. '

Qin Ming wanted to say this, but when he saw Gu You's brilliant smile, he thought it would be better not to say it.

"What was Lanta's original third soul ring?"

Gu You answered without hesitation: "It's the noble mantis, teacher."

"Noble mantis?" Qin Ming widened his eyes and looked a little surprised.

It was not surprised at the rarity of the noble mantis, on the contrary, Qin Ming was surprised that the soul beast Gu You chose for Lanta would be so simple.

The noble mantis, also known as the golden mantis, is a relatively common insect soul beast. Its huge range of activity is similar to that of the Qianjun ant, and its traces have been found in most soul beast forests.

As a soul beast, it is known for its thick catching feet and solid golden exoskeleton. The degeneration of the wings on the back has caused it to lose the ability to fly, and its powerful jumping ability makes up for the lack of athletic ability, and also allows it to thrive in the forest environment, surpassing most insect compatriots and becoming a predator in the middle of the ecological niche.

Generally speaking, the first choice of noble mantis is the soul master of sword-type martial spirit, followed by some beast martial spirit soul masters who value the explosive power of the legs.

Lanta's martial spirit is the bow and arrow, so she should not choose noble mantis in any way.

Sensing Qin Ming's confusion, Gu You explained: "Teacher, although noble mantis is common, it has a characteristic that is very suitable for Ata."

"Oh? What is it?"

Seeing Qin Ming's curiosity, Gu You did not keep him in suspense: "Stability, teacher."

"Fortunately, noble mantis is not rare, so I had the opportunity to take time to observe them in the soul beast forest while studying at the junior soul master academy. It is observed that noble mantis attacks very frequently, but the power of each attack hardly fluctuates, and the power of the last attack is exactly the same as the first attack."

"This feature is very suitable for Ata. The power of ordinary light arrows is affected by the time of drawing the bow. If it goes well, it will greatly increase her rapid shooting power."

"I see."

Qin Ming nodded, not quite understanding, and waved his hand to signal Gu You to continue cooking. Watching his back as he left, I felt very relieved.

The problem seems to have been solved. Only the genius who has not been left in the shadow by the strong is qualified to touch the higher sky. If it is the current Gu You, perhaps he should listen to another version of the story.

The golden giant shadow that lingers at the bottom of the abyss, devours the deep-sea demon whale, and sits on the jade throne.

After spending the last night in the Sunset Forest, everyone quickly returned to Tiandou City. Qin Ming generously gave two days off to those who participated in the soul hunting, and let everyone go home to find their mothers.

On the way back to Longshe Manor, Gu You quietly pulled Lan Ta and fell behind Meng Yiran. After making sure to keep a safe distance, under Lan Ta's puzzled eyes, Gu You whispered: "Ata, I have something to do the day after tomorrow and I have to go on a long journey. It will take about two months."

"?!" Lanta turned her head suddenly, feeling a little overwhelmed by Gu You's words.

Lanta's mouth opened slightly, not interested in where Guyou was going. In comparison, she wanted to know if her eldest brother could take her with him.

But in the next second, Lanta's eyes were shocked. She knew the question didn't need to be asked because the answer was obvious.

Standing in the bustling crowd, surrounded by noisy voices and carriages. But Gu You seemed to be alone in another space, where he was the only one, overwhelmed by a huge feeling of loneliness.

Gu You calmly warned: "During my absence, the training of the Imperial Fighter Team will be left to you."

"If you have anything you don't understand, just ask more questions. You can ask Sister Yiran or Teacher Qin Ming. They are rich in experience and will definitely be able to give you a lot of inspiration."

"If you really can't think of a solution, go to your sister Xiao Wu. But you can't let her be in charge of that matter for a long time. Take over when you've almost mastered it, otherwise she will definitely lead everyone to be lazy."

"Over at Shrek, there is still some medicine left by Ma Hongjun, the mistress gang. You can send it over once a month and check whether his martial spirit has deteriorated. Before checking, go to the palace to find the prince. Don't go there alone. Take Meng Yiran with you. And Teacher Qin Ming, he knows what to do next.”

"I may not be able to make it back in time for the competition, so don't worry too much about winning or losing, just do your best. The real winner is the continent-wide soul master competition. This competition is mainly about gathering intelligence and training troops."

"Especially the Four Elements Academy, we must keep our trump cards as much as possible and force out their soul skill intelligence."

"When you encounter problems, don't go to them alone. Yutian Heng, Ning Rongrong, are all your backers. If there are people who can't be solved by them, just write them down and wait until I come back to deal with them."

Gu You talked endlessly, so much that Lanta got the illusion that he was explaining the aftermath.

Gu You had just finished talking about who he could win over in Tiandou City, and was about to talk about the methods of winning over people with loans, when Lanta hurriedly interrupted: "Brother, stop talking, I'm going too."

Not to mention how scary this look of explaining the aftermath is, what the eldest brother does next must be very important. As a younger sister, Lanta couldn't let Guyou face it alone.

Gu You was stunned for a moment, then smiled and rubbed Lanta's neat hair into a chicken coop: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just going to see some old friends."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, all the Spirit Halls including Qian Daoliu enshrine more than a dozen titles, and they are not all old friends of Gu You.

Friends who are fair-weather friends are friends, and friends who can exchange benefits are naturally friends.

The Killing Arena is limited to one game per day, and it’s not even a month yet. As long as the cost is ignored, the city of killing can be completely demolished.

As for how much it would cost, Gu You didn't care. There was no point in caring. He simply went straight to the game and brought Tang San back first.

"Yeah."

Gu You, who no longer looked forward and backward, became very relaxed, which made Lanta sigh with relief, but also had a little doubt in his heart.

Does the eldest brother have any old friends that he doesn’t know?

"Hey, who are you?"

"Um, I'm sorry, is this Dragon Snake Manor?"

Meng Yiran's voice came from the front, and the person who answered her was a slightly honest male voice.

Gu You felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, so he quickly took a few steps forward.

Then he saw a strong man wearing the standard uniform of a member of the Wuhun Palace standing at the door of Longshe Manor, holding a white envelope in his hand and looking slightly embarrassed.

The face looked familiar. Gu You asked with a little hesitation: "Wang Sheng?"

The strong man raised his head and looked over Meng Yiran's shoulder. His embarrassed expression instantly turned into surprise: "Brother You?!"

Lanta tilted her head: "Old friend?"

Gu You covered his face: "They are old friends, but not the old friends I mentioned."

——

ps: I don’t know if anyone has discovered the foreshadowing of the “golden light”. It was not an attack by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale. Ordinary Deep Sea Demonic Whales would not be able to annihilate so many soul masters.
