The ultimate transmission fear beast stands on the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 366 Seeing Old Friends Again
[Temporary File No. 3]

Soul Beast: Storm Shooter.

Year: Between 7300 and 7500.

Main features: A falcon with very conspicuous bright yellow feathers. Unlike the normal wing structure of birds, the Storm Shooter is extremely rare to have an extra set of metacarpal and phalanges in the wrist to provide gripping ability.

According to historical records and on-site observations, the most common attack method of the Storm Archer is to shoot feathers that are like blades wrapped in wind, causing 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 "killer move" to escape. By manipulating the wind to control the feathers, a second covert attack was launched from an unexpected angle. If a response plan was not prepared in advance, it would easily cause casualties.

Cause of death: fractured wings, multiple impact injuries and contusions all over the body, and a penetrating wound to the brain.

Soul Skill: Wing Scattering.

[Temporary File No. 4]

Soul Beast: Swift Flying Squirrel.

Age: more than 1,700 years old and less than 2,000 years old.

Main features: The body is brown, the abdomen is grayish white, and it looks similar to ordinary squirrels, with almost no difference in body shape. The eyes emit purple light, and when the flying membrane is opened, lines ranging from light orange to orange-red can be seen at the junction of the flying membrane and the body. The number of lines and the depth of color can be used to determine the approximate age.

It has no means of attack, almost no defense, and its absolute speed is not outstanding. However, its superb reaction ability gives it a strong survivability and makes it very difficult to capture.

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

Soul Skill: Enhanced reaction speed.

[Temporary File No. 5]

Soul beast: Skeleton Owl.

Year: 8100 to 8300.

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

The only means of attack that can be determined by the naked eye is the curved and sharp bird claws. The spiritual aspect is still unknown, and it is only known that it is an illusion.

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

Soul skills: ■■■■.

"Heroic Vanguard, Wing Scattering, and Reaction Speed ​​Enhancement are all right. They are all within Big Brother's plan."

Except for Meng Yiran's soul skills which were special and Gu You asked to keep them secret, Lanta recorded all other soul skills in detail.

After flipping through the Soul Hunting Records and reading the handwritten text again, the doubts that had been in Lanta's mind were finally resolved.

"Ata, what are you looking at?"

Meng Yiran sat down next to Lanta, holding her slender wrist. He glanced at the notebook in her hand, and said with a little resentment towards Gu You in his heart: "Yufeng, Rongrong, and my soul beast. As expected of Ata, you are serious."

"But, can we review it after we get back?"

".Sister Yiran, it's hot."

Lanta wanted to pull his hand out, but when he tried, he found that this action made Meng Yiran hold him tighter. He could only give up the thought, shook his head, and replied: "I'm not reviewing, I'm just thinking about my brother's plan."

Ten days had passed since Gu You and Qin Ming's conversation, and the soul hunting operation had finally come to an end. Once they successfully left the Sunset Forest, they could officially declare this soul hunting 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 the sound of whistles danced lightly in the air. A large bird that had been completely shredded was placed on the fire, and Ning Rongrong turned the handle and waited anxiously. The remaining turtle meat was cut into small portions and strung together with vegetables, and then inserted one by one by the graphite and stone mill next to the fire.

Is this the Holy Soul Village?
Meng Yiran was somewhat speechless, shook his head, and said in a slightly disdainful tone: "You think too much, it's just a normal soul hunting."

Meng Yiran believed that there was a detailed plan for the selection of soul beasts and soul skills. Gu You, a scholar famous in the mainland for his research on martial souls and soul skills, should do this.

If there was a detailed plan for soul hunting, that would be a bit exaggerated. Soul hunting was just a small matter after all, and she didn't think Gu You would go to great lengths over the details.

Meng Yiran had no idea that her way of thinking had a lot in common with Ranta's.

For example, she didn't think Gu You couldn't do it, but she felt that Gu You would not spend time focusing on goals that were destined to be achieved.

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

"Teacher Qin Ming, you didn't make a move even once."

Seeing that Meng Yiran still didn't believe it, Lanta turned the page of his notebook forward: "The order of hunting soul beasts is the answer that big brother carefully arranged."

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

On the other side, Lanta shared her top-secret discovery with Meng Yiran. Behind him, under a big tree, Qin Ming folded his arms across his chest, silently watching everything in front of him.

Specifically, it is about watching ancient tours.

Compared to Ranta 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 Ranta, and his brain was so high.

The first soul beast is the thorn-horned fierce snapping 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 snapping turtle, which can pull the target within the range towards itself.

At first glance, it was a variation of Zhao Wuji's [Gravity Squeeze]. It lost the attack method that made the opponent bear huge pressure from all directions at the same time, but gained a larger impact range and faster pulling speed.

Then there was the Storm Shooter, which was the second soul beast that Gu You led the team to hunt.

Soul beasts with flying abilities have always been a difficult target for soul masters to hunt. Storm Shooters have long-range attack capabilities and good defense. They are difficult to hit, but you also have to control the strength to avoid killing them.

In general, it is a trouble within a trouble. Qin Ming plans to take action himself to avoid killing it and having to spend time looking for a second one.

However, 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 the [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 the Yufeng Sword in the end, otherwise his soul bone would have exploded.

Next comes the third soul beast, the Swift Flying Squirrel.

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

This should have been the case, but the key point 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 that it is an attack soul skill, but in fact this soul skill is a thorough status soul skill. It makes the strong wind caused by the third soul skill become delicate and soft, turning it into a wind that can control feathers.

Everything that follows becomes easy.

The tornado trapped the Swift Squirrel in the middle, and the sharp feathers mixed in it quickly cut several holes on the Swift Squirrel's body. Then the injured Swift Squirrel was released, and it fell down due to excessive blood loss.

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

Finally, if we remove the moonlight flower that Lanta accidentally encountered, three of the five soul beasts will counteract each other. Even if Qin Ming didn't come, these children alone could complete this soul hunting without any difficulty.

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

Seeing Yufeng said something that made Gu You pat his shoulder and laugh. Qin Ming pinched his eyebrows and silently wiped away his guess.

I must be too tired recently. I will go back to the academy and have a drink with Dean Flanders and Vice Dean Zhao Wuji.

"Xiaoyou."

"what happened?"

"come over."

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

"Teacher, what can I do for you?"

'Be careful not to kill Yufeng.'

Qin Ming really wanted to say this, but when he saw Gu You’s bright 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 Armored Mantis?" Qin Ming widened his eyes, looking a little surprised.

Qin Ming was not surprised at the rarity of the Noble-Armored Mantis. On the contrary, he was surprised that the soul beast that Gu You chose for Lanta was so simple.

The noble-armored mantis, also known as the golden-armored mantis, is a relatively common insect-type soul beast. Its huge range of activity is similar to that of the thousand-jun ant, and its traces can be found in most soul beast forests.

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

Generally speaking, the first choice for Noble Armor Mantis is the soul master with sword-type martial spirits, followed by some soul masters with beast-type martial spirits who value the explosive power of the legs.

Ranta’s martial spirit is the bow and arrow, so he shouldn’t choose the Noble Armor Mantis no matter how you look at it.

Sensing Qin Ming's confusion, Gu You explained: "Teacher, although the 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, the Noble Mantis is not rare, so I had the opportunity to take time to go to the Soul Beast Forest to observe them while studying at the Junior Soul Master Academy. According to observations, the 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 it takes to draw the bow. If it goes well, it will greatly increase the power of her rapid shooting."

"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, he felt very relieved.

The problem seems to have been solved. Only the geniuses who have not been overshadowed by the strong are qualified to touch the higher sky. If it were Gu You now, perhaps he should listen to another version of the story.

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

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

On the way back to Longshe Manor, Gu You quietly pulled Lan Ta behind Meng Yiran. After making sure they were at a safe distance, Gu You whispered to Lan Ta in a puzzled look, "Ata, I have to go on a long trip the day after tomorrow. It will take about two months."

"?!" Lanta turned her head suddenly, and Gu You's words made her a little at a loss.

Lanta opened her mouth slightly, not interested in where Gu You was going. In contrast, she wanted to know whether her elder brother could take her with him.

But in the next second, Ranta's eyes were shocked. She knew that this question did not need to be asked because the answer was obvious.

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

Gu You calmly instructed: "During my absence, the training of the Royal Fighting Team will be handed over to you."

"If you don't understand something, just ask more. You can ask your sister Yi Ran and teacher Qin Ming. They are both very experienced and will definitely be able to give you a lot of inspiration."

"If you really can't think of a solution, go find your sister Xiaowu. But don't let her be in charge of that matter for a long time. When she has almost mastered it, you can take over. Otherwise, she will definitely lead everyone to slack off."

"At Shrek, Xiao San still has some medicine left that she made for Ma Hongjun. You can deliver it once a month and check if his martial arts spirit has deteriorated. Before checking, go to the palace to find the crown prince. Don't go alone. Bring Meng Yiran and Teacher Qin Ming with you. 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 victory or defeat will be in the All-Continent Soul Master Competition. This competition is mainly about collecting intelligence and training."

"Especially the Four Elements Academy. We must keep as many trump cards as possible and force out their soul skills intelligence."

"When you encounter a problem, go find them. Don't carry it alone. Yu Tianheng and Ning Rongrong are your backers. If there is someone that even they can't solve, just write it down and deal with it when I come back."

Gu You talked a lot, so much that Lanta had the illusion that he was making arrangements for his funeral.

Just as Gu You finished talking about who he could get in Tiandou City and was about to talk about the loan-getting tricks, Lanta interrupted him hastily: "Brother, stop talking, I want to go too."

Regardless of how scary it was to be told what to do next, what the elder brother was going to do must be very important. As a younger sister, Lanta couldn't let Guyou face it alone.

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

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

Friends who only drink and eat together are friends, and friends who can exchange interests with you are naturally also friends.

The Killing Arena was limited to one match per day, and it was less than a month. As long as we ignored the cost, we could completely destroy the Killing City.

As for how much the price would be, Gu You didn't care. It was useless to care. He might as well go all in and bring Tang San back first.

"Yeah."

Gu You no longer hesitated and his tone became relaxed, which made Lanta feel relieved, but he also had a little doubt in his heart.

Brother, do you have old friends that you don’t know?
"Hey, who are you?"

"Excuse me, is this Dragon Snake Manor?"

Meng Yiran's voice came from the front, and the one 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.

I saw a sturdy man wearing the standard attire of a Spirit Hall staff member standing at the gate of Dragon Snake Manor, holding a white envelope in his hand with a slightly embarrassed expression.

The face looked familiar, and Gu You asked hesitantly, "Wang Sheng?"

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

Ranta tilted his head: "Old friend?"

Gu You covered his face and said, "It's an old friend, but not the old friend I mentioned."
-
ps: I don’t know if anyone has noticed the foreshadowing of the “golden light”. That was not the attack of the deep-sea magic whale. An ordinary deep-sea magic whale could not wipe out so many soul masters.
