Chapter 61: Encyclopedia
🕑 Added 2025-03-08 11:44:20 +0000 UTCThe food bought in the town was basically dry food, just to fill the stomach. As for things like pots, pans, and other things used for picnics, in fact, no one would use them in the Star Dou Great Forest, because the flames and the smell of cooking food would attract the attention of soul beasts.
Soul beasts have a very keen sense of smell. Once food is cooked in the forest, the smell of the food is likely to attract some soul beasts. This is definitely not a good thing for soul masters who come to hunt souls. If you are unlucky enough to attract a powerful soul beast, you are doomed.
However, this statement only applies to ordinary people. For Ye Cheng, except for the Silver Dragon King hiding in the core area, the soul beasts in the entire soul beast forest may make him a little afraid. The rest of the soul beasts are just livestock that can be killed with a flip of the hand. There is no need to be afraid.
So he boldly asked the two women to buy a lot of seasonings, and then he bought a lot of raw food for cooking and stored it in his storage ring. The three of them started a picnic in the dangerous Soul Beast Forest.
First, set up a pot and pour water into it. Then put in seasonings, fresh meat, and vegetables just pulled out of the ground… Ye Cheng’s storage ring is very special. As a product of his personality, the space inside this ring is not only very large, but also time is restricted for anything that enters it. In other words, it will be the same as what you put in. It has a permanent preservation function!
After everything was ready, the three of them started their first picnic in their lives.
Sitting in the woods, feeling the breeze coming from afar.
It is an indescribable feeling to enjoy the food.
“I guess there is no soul master in the world who would treat the dangerous soul hunting as camping like us.” Ning Rongrong couldn’t help thinking while holding the bowl. Zhu Zhuqing beside her had the same idea as her.
I can only say that with the big boss protecting me, I feel extremely safe!
After the three of them enjoyed a sumptuous picnic.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing consciously began to clean up the pots and pans, while Ye Cheng sat there like a big boss, with no intention of lending a hand.
At this moment.
Ye Cheng suddenly sensed that there was a strange breath of soul beast approaching here quickly. It was not attracted by the smell of food in the pot, but was obviously running for its life!
“What’s going on?”
Out of curiosity, Ye Cheng expanded the range of his perception and soon discovered that there were indeed several auras chasing after this soul beast, and he had seen these auras not long ago.
“Interesting, am I catching up with the famous scene in the original novel?” He showed an interested smile, turned his head to look at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing who seemed to have sorted everything out, and said, “Something fun is coming.”
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both puzzled, but soon they heard a rustling sound, which grew louder and louder. Even Ning Rongrong, who was an auxiliary soul master, could clearly feel how quickly the unknown creature was approaching.
Before Ye Cheng opened his mouth to speak, Zhu Zhuqing quietly and consciously rose up, with sharp claws on her hands popping out. She quickly climbed up a big tree next to her as if walking on flat ground and looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
Cats have excellent vision, even at night, let alone at noon when the sun is at its highest point in the sky.
Soon, Zhu Zhuqing’s cold voice came from the tree, “Teacher, it seems to be a flying snake, but it can’t fly high, it can only fly forward about three meters above the ground. It has a fleshy crown on its head, which looks bigger than its head and is bright red like blood. Its tail is quite special, fan-shaped.”
Although Ye Cheng knew what kind of soul beast the visitor was through perception, he did not say that he knew it a long time ago to dampen Zhu Zhuqing’s enthusiasm. Instead, he said, “According to your description, it is a Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent. This kind of soul beast is quite rare. It is non-venomous and is a rare powerful non-venomous snake. It attacks by wrapping its body around the enemy to suffocate it. The attack method is very simple, but the speed is extremely fast. The Crest Serpent on its head stores various nutrients, which can give it the effect of instantly increasing speed in times of crisis.”
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly said, “Teacher, it’s coming towards us at a very fast speed, but it seems that it has a hard time keeping its balance.”
Ye Cheng asked again: “How long is this Phoenix-tailed Crest Serpent, and what color are its wings?”
Zhu Zhuqing said: “The wings are light red, and are about six to eight meters long.”
Hearing this, Ye Cheng said without thinking: “This is a thousand-year-old Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent. The light red wings are a sign of its thousand-year evolution. Judging from its length, it is six to eight meters, and it should have cultivated for 1,300 to 1,800 years. If it absorbs this spirit ring, its spirit skill should be related to speed… Unfortunately, your spirit power level is less than level 30, so you can’t absorb it even if you kill it.”
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were shocked by his erudition when they saw that he had never even seen the soul beast, but he knew everything about it just by a simple description.
You know, soul beasts are as strange as martial spirits, and their age and level are not easy to judge. Ye Cheng was able to accurately judge the type and strength of the soul beast they were going to face just by listening to Zhu Zhuqing’s words, and he also told the specific situation of this soul beast, which shows how well he knows martial spirits.
Facing the two women’s admiring gazes, Ye Cheng accepted it calmly. You have to know that the personality he has integrated now is not just about strength. As the pinnacle of soul masters, he naturally also comes with the setting of being knowledgeable and well-informed. Therefore, there is nothing in this world that soul beasts don’t know and understand. He is the encyclopedia of Douluo!
“Here I come.”
After a moment, Zhu Zhuqing’s voice suddenly sounded. With a low shout, she swooped down from the air, not afraid at all that the opponent was a thousand-year-old soul beast. Her sharp claws and the first soul ring on her body lit up at the same time, and she launched a Netherworld Stab.
It was a huge snake, and its appearance was just as Zhu Zhuqing had described, about six or seven meters long, with a bright red fleshy crown on its head, looking somewhat ferocious, and its body was just hit by Zhu Zhuqing as it was moving forward at high speed. Zhu Zhuqing’s Netherworld Stab directly hit the fleshy crown on its head.
But the Phoenix Tailed Crest Serpent reacted quickly. Although it was rushing forward rapidly, its head tilted in a hurry. Zhu Zhuqing’s claw did not hit the crest of the flesh, but hit its body instead, making a muffled sound, which instantly reduced the speed of the Phoenix Tailed Crest Serpent a bit.
The Phoenix-tailed Crest Serpent seemed to be frightened. It tilted its head, opened its mouth suddenly, and sprayed a colorful mist towards Zhu Zhuqing. At the same time, the bright red flesh crown on its head lit up, and its speed, which had just been delayed for a moment, increased again.
“Zhuqing, be careful.” Ning Rongrong couldn’t help but scream.
Ye Cheng seemed very calm, because he had said before that this snake was non-venomous and could not release poisonous mist at all.
