Chapter 603: Don’t Believe Rumors
Yang Shan explained the situation of the Stardust Field to Tang Zhen in detail.
"Dead Soul Wolf? I didn't expect that there is such a strange species among the wolf tribe!"
Tang Zhen analyzed:
"Since it was Young Friend Yang Shan who told us the location of the Stardust Flower, and Young Friend also promised to help Huo'er get it, then this matter cannot be considered a favor."
Tang Zhen said in a heroic tone:
"Huo'er had promised to reward young friend Yang Shan, so why don't I make the decision? I'll take the Stardust Flower. As for the Dead Soul Wolf, I'll do my best to help you kill it! This can be considered a cooperation. As for your help in suppressing Huo'er's hidden disease and my mistaken action, those two favors should be counted separately!"
Otherwise, it is said that Xiao Yan has always remembered Fenyan Valley after he became successful!
If we look at Tang Zhen's behavior from the perspective of human relations, it is extraordinary.
The master of Fenyan Valley, a five-star Dou Zun, possesses both status and strength.
But when Tang Zhen made friends with the upstarts, he basically never showed off his status. Most of the time, he behaved like an elder who was easy to talk to.
At the same time, Tang Zhen was generous and willing to suffer losses, which means "actively making concessions"!
For Yang Shan, the Dead Soul Wolf that had already broken into the eighth level was an extremely troublesome existence. If Yang Shan wanted to defeat it, he would have to give it his all if he did not seek help from external forces.
But for Tang Zhen, as long as the Dead Soul Wolf has not broken into the middle eighth level, it is almost certain that Tang Zhen can suppress the opponent.
Tang Zhen fought a battle in which the strong defeated the weak, but this reduced Yang Shan's chance of fighting for his life.
Tang Zhen paid little, but Yang Shan got a lot!
But “favor” does not mean that you give me a steamed bun and I give you two steamed buns.
When Yang Shan achieves greater success in the future, the value of this favor will increase countless times!
The premise is.
The other party has a conscience and is willing to return the favor.
Precisely because Tang Zhen values making friends more than making enemies, in recent years, the only Glacier Valley has had a very bad relationship with the Fenyan Valley.
Yang Shan could foresee that once Fen Yan Valley started to open its membership to players, the gates of Fen Yan Valley would be trampled to pieces by the players.
Among the three valleys and four pavilions, the number of players joining Burning Flame Valley must be the largest.
Moreover, with Tang Zhen's ability and vision in making friends, I'm afraid many top players would be willing to join him!
Yang Shan bowed and saluted:
"Then everything depends on Senior Tang Zhen!"
Tang Zhen: "Okay, okay. Young friend Yang Shan, you should heal your wound first. I will take Huo'er to a safe place."
Tang Huo'er was quite reluctant, but she did not raise any objection.
Yang Shan's "The Secret of Prisoning the Soul" really sealed Tang Huoer's fighting spirit.
Although Tang Huoer still maintains the cultivation level of a one-star Dou Zong, he is unable to use Dou Qi, and at least 70% of his strength has been lost.
Therefore, Tang Huoer is naturally not suitable to go to the dangerous place without stars again.
After all, he is facing an eighth-level ferocious beast that can rival a Dou Zun. Even the aftermath of the battle may hurt Tang Huoer.
Tang Huoer knew that if she went, she would just be a burden.
"Yang Shan, you have to be careful. If anything happens, you must hide behind my father!"
Tang Zhen pretended to be angry:
"Huo'er, you are using me, your father, as a shield, right?"
Tang Huoer laughed happily:
"No way, Huo'er knows that Daddy is very powerful, there will be no danger for him, hiding behind you, he feels so safe!"
Tang Zhen nodded with satisfaction:
"That's quite pleasing to the ear."
Tang Zhen did not waste any time. He raised his left hand slightly, and a pair of silver wings appeared behind Tang Huoer.
After the two flew away together, Tang Huoer took the initiative to ask:
"Dad, is there any progress in refining the Fire Bodhisattva Pill?"
Tang Zhen: "We are still short of two medicinal herbs, and in order to ensure smooth refining, we must prepare at least two sets. As for the eighth-grade alchemist Huo'er, don't blame Dad."
Tang Huoer: "My daughter knows that as the master of Fenyan Valley, Daddy cannot just care about his family. Finding Danta will do more harm than good. My daughter is no longer in pain now, so we can wait."
"Wait slowly? I see you are more anxious now than before."
Tang Zhen glanced at Tang Huoer:
"What are you thinking? How can you hide it from a father like me? What if Yang Shan kicks open the door to Dou Zun in a few years? If you want to catch up with him, you will have to endure a long time! After all, Yang Shan, like you, was rated as a genius by Kongxuan Sect!"
Tang Huo'er: "What do you mean by catching up? As the eldest daughter of Fenyan Valley, my daughter should practice diligently."
"diligence?"
Tang Zhen said unhappily:
"You weren't very diligent when you were learning the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire. You opened your eyes in just half an hour! How much of the experience and improvements of our ancestors in the inheritance crystal ball have you read?"
Tang Huoer stuck out his tongue mischievously:
"More haste, less speed. You have to eat one bite at a time. I'll finish that part first, and then continue my research. Isn't it the same?"
Tang Huoer's talent is indeed excellent, but he is also really lazy.
Tang Zhen did not blame Tang Huoer too much for this incident. After all, Tang Huoer was very sensible and she knew how to motivate herself.
If Tang Huoer had to practice hard day and night, Tang Zhen might not feel relieved, but distressed instead.
After Tang Zhen brought Tang Huoer to a safe place, he left many hidden tricks.
As long as Tang Huoer is in danger, Tang Zhen will know it at the first time.
Even without space jade, if he was close enough, Tang Zhen could still travel through space at any time.
The player's recovery speed in non-combat state is much faster than that of NPC. In the NPC's thinking, there is no such time difference logic.
So when Tang Zhen returned, Yang Shan had almost recovered, and Tang Zhen didn't feel anything was wrong.
Yang Shan: "Senior Tang Zhen, let's go."
Tang Zhen: "Young friend Yang Shan, your injuries have not fully recovered yet, so there is no need to rush."
Yang Shan: "Thank you, Senior Tang Zhen, for your understanding, but we'd better find the Dead Soul Wolf during the day. At night, the Dead Soul Wolf's combat power will be improved to a certain extent."
Tang Zhen nodded:
"Okay, in that case, let's set off immediately!"
Entering the starless dangerous land again, Yang Shan arrived at the stardust field with ease.
But the dead soul wolf disappeared without a trace.
Yang Shan and Tang Zhen both investigated using their own methods, but still found nothing.
"Young friend Yang Shan, how about we expand the search area?"
In fact, Tang Zhen could just wait until night and take the Stardust Flower away directly. There was a high chance that the Dead Soul Wolf would not be able to keep Tang Zhen.
But since he had promised Yang Shan to deal with the Dead Soul Wolf, Tang Zhen would naturally not go back on his word.
First deal with the Dead Soul Wolf, then get the Stardust Flower.
"Please wait for a moment, Senior. I will try other methods."
Yang Shan set up a teleportation light array, and Hei Dasha appeared immediately.
"Ahhh! Master, your loyal dog is waiting for your orders!"
Seeing Heidasha, Tang Zhen was a little surprised:
"Is this Howling Moon Dog?"
Yang Shan nodded:
"Senior Tang Zhen is indeed knowledgeable and experienced!"
Tang Zhen looked at Howling Moon Dog:
"Among the blood-bonded beasts, the dog-kind beasts may not be the strongest, but they are definitely the most loyal. Many of them will not betray their masters even if they don't have enough food to eat. I envy you for such a rare dog-kind beast as the Howling Moon Dog!"
As he said this, Tang Zhen was ready to reach out and touch Heidasha.
Heidasha immediately started to grimace.
"Young friend Yang Shan, what's its name?" "Senior, just call it Dasha."
"Big fool?"
Tang Zhen shook his head and took out a large piece of braised beef from the ring.
When you are out, you don't always have to stay in the city. Keep some food in your ring to satisfy your appetite occasionally.
Tang Zhen's braised beef is made with the meat of the seventh-level beast king. It is not only delicious but also nourishing to the body.
"Don't show your teeth to me, Dasha. I am your master's friend."
When Heidasha saw the braised beef with soy sauce, his saliva started to drip.
But Hei Dasha waited for Yang Shan to nod slightly before he wagged his tail at Tang Zhen:
"Woof! Dasha thanks you very much, Senior!"
Tang Zhen passed the braised beef to Hei Dasha's mouth, and then rubbed Hei Dasha's head:
"Young friend Yang Shan, you are willing to train this Howling Moon Dog. It is quite good. There will be a chance for it to reach the eighth level in the future!"
Heidasha swallowed the braised beef and looked up to answer:
"The master said that Dasha has the potential to be an ancient wild beast! He will definitely become a ninth-level sacred beast in the future!"
Tang Zhen's mouth twitched, and he was secretly surprised:
"Yang Shan, this kid, may not be very old, but he is very good at making empty promises. He is a ninth-rank holy beast."
Yang Shan urged:
"Dasha, when you're full, get to work and look for the dead soul wolf you mentioned a few days ago."
"Woof! Yes, sir!"
Hei Dasha is already a wild beast, but its behavior seems to be totally inconsistent with the standards of a wild beast.
Looking for the Dead Soul Wolf, this guy didn't mind the dirt on the ground at all, he just lay down, his nostrils moving constantly.
Not long after, Heidasha raised his head:
"Woof! Master, I smell death. It's most likely the Dead Soul Wolf!"
The reason why Yang Shan trained Hei Dasha, apart from fate, was most importantly because even due to insufficient resources, there was no way for Hei Dasha to have the fighting power to keep up with his pace.
Heidasha can still be a "search dog".
Just like now, Hei Dasha relied on his own talent to achieve what even Yang Shan, a late spiritual realm soul master, and Tang Zhen, a five-star Dou Zun, could not do!
Every profession has its own expertise, so leave professional matters to professional dogs!
Under the guidance of Heidasha, Yang Shan and Tang Zhen flew towards the northwest together.
Soon, Yang Shan felt an inexplicable pressure.
This pressure does not come from cultivation.
It comes from the soul!
The soul power of that Dead Soul Wolf is even stronger than his!
"It can't be the Heaven Realm, right? That's too outrageous."
You know, in the original novel, after Xiao Yan broke into the Douluo Realm, he led the Tianfu Alliance to massacre the "Human Hall", one of the Soul Hall's Tiangang Halls, and absorbed all the souls that the "Human Hall" had collected for who knows how many years, and only then did he break through his soul to the Heavenly Realm!
If a mere dead soul wolf could have a heavenly soul, then all the hard work of the Soul Palace in the original novel over the years would be a joke.
Tang Zhen also reminded:
"Young friend Yang Shan, be careful. We should be getting closer to the Dead Soul Wolf."
Yang Shan: "Senior, let me take the lead. We should try to make the fight quick and decisive. Don't give the Dead Soul Wolves too many opportunities to counterattack!"
"You're going to lead the charge?"
Tang Zhen was still a little hesitant at first.
But in Tang Zhen's opinion, Yang Shan should not be trying to show off on purpose.
Twenty miles away, a dead soul wolf, only half a meter long, was lying on the ground, seemingly taking a nap.
There were only a few sparse patches of hair left on its body, and its wrinkled skin looked dead.
The strangest thing is its pupils.
It was all gray and white, with no pupils at all!
The Dead Soul Wolf does not need to close its eyes when sleeping.
In other words, the Dead Soul Wolf doesn't need to sleep, it is just digesting the soul it just ate.
Not far from it was the corpse of a seventh-level peak tiger beast king.
The corpse is well preserved. After all, the Dead Soul Wolf does not eat meat.
Suddenly, the pale eyeballs of the Dead Soul Wolf looked like ink dripping on white paper.
The ink gradually completely dyed the white paper, and in the end, only darkness remained in the Dead Soul Wolf's eye sockets!
As soon as the Dead Soul Wolf stood up, the scarlet thunder and azure flames had already arrived in front of it.
Yang Shan, who started with an overload explosion, appeared in the distance. [Yan Luo] was unsheathed, and mysterious fluctuations appeared on the blade. The strange thunder from the sky turned into a blood-red chain and spread to the explosion area.
Yang Shan had already prepared the "True Art of Imprisoning Souls", but the Dead Soul Wolf was only level eight after all, so Yang Shan didn't dare to get too close.
Using the energy of the overload explosion as "resonance" can greatly increase the hit rate of "The True Art of Prisoning the Soul".
When the Dead Soul Wolf emerged from the explosion, it was already tightly bound with thunder chains.
[Dead Soul Wolf] (Wild Beast; Special Template)
Level: Early Eighth Level (Two-star Dou Zun)
attribute: none
Soul Power: Great Perfection of Spiritual Realm
Qi and blood: 12000000
Attack: 17800
Defense: 10900
Speed: 4500
Although the cultivation level of this Dead Soul Wolf is equivalent to that of a two-star Dou Zun of the human race, its three major panels of "attack, defense and speed" are not even as good as those of a peak seventh-level Huang Chao.
Only the qi and blood are much more than that of the Phoenix Dynasty.
With this panel, it is not even worthy of being an eighth-level one.
But this was the first time that Yang Shan saw the system's detection function, which marked the opponent's soul power strength.
The spiritual realm is perfect!
These five words are the level that Yang Shan has not yet reached after struggling to reach version 3.1 through the special channels of the Soul Palace and playing the game for more than ten years!
The roar of the Dead Soul Wolf was extremely hoarse, which was probably related to its body which should have been completely lifeless.
"be honest!"
The tip of [Yan Luo]'s knife was connected to the chain. Yang Shan pulled it hard, and forty-nine thunder chains bound the Dead Soul Wolf tighter.
The body of the Dead Soul Wolf is not strong to begin with. Despite the realm suppression, Yang Shan's "True Art of Prisoning Souls" can still achieve quite good results.
Tang Zhen naturally seized the opportunity that Yang Shan had fought for.
In order to win the battle quickly, Tang Zhen started with Fenyan Valley's unique earth-level fighting skill -
"Taiyi Fire Luozhang!"
Tang Zhen, like Yang Shan, activated his fighting skills in advance, so once he started, he didn't need any preparation time.
Facing the aggressive Tang Zhen, the dark pupils of the Dead Soul Wolf seemed to have a hint of white.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Zhen sensed a soul fluctuation that made him terrified.
Although he had expected this, Tang Zhen still couldn't help being shocked when it really happened.
Ordinary Dou Zun simply does not have such powerful soul power.
At this moment, Tang Zhen saw hundreds of phantoms of magical beasts appearing in the sky above the Dead Soul Wolf.
"This Yang Shan's sonic fighting skills are actually based on soul attacks? The rumors about the soul power of the late spiritual realm are really unbelievable. This Yang Shan is much more powerful than the rumors!"
