Douluo: This Tang San is different.

Chapter 14 The Helplessness of the Civilian Soul Master

"So, which silkworm-like soul beast should I choose?" Sisi is not the kind of unrealistic woman. Although she loves wealth and honor, she can accept the reality. Silkworm soul beasts, except for the ice silkworm you mentioned, generally like to eat mulberry leaves, and it seems that there are not many mulberry trees in Notting Forest."

"Sister Sisi, you don't have to worry about this, because we happened to be on the way." Tang San smiled.

Why did Tang San say that?
This also starts with the plant soul beast he needs, Qiangenrong.

The thousand-root banyan is a plant soul beast with a very lush canopy and green leaves. Almost all insect soul beasts will eat it, and its juice can even help insect soul beasts grow.

Of course, it is only effective against plant-eating insect soul beasts.

If the juice of this thousand-root banyan can improve the cultivation of the soul master, no matter how difficult this plant soul beast is, it will be cut to extinction by the soul masters.

When the thousand-root banyan tree grows to the ten thousand-year level, it will become an entire forest, a beautiful home for insect-like soul beasts.

However, soul beasts like Qiangenrong also need protection before they can grow up.

After all, its leaves are very delicious to insect spirit beasts, and its juice can even improve their cultivation.

Insect spirit beasts do not have the intelligence of humans.

The aforementioned human soul master cut down the thousand-root banyan to extinction, just assuming the extreme situation in [the juice is effective for improving the soul power]. The real situation is that humans will collect it regularly, and there is a high probability that the Spirit Hall will send people To protect the thousand root banyan, a plant soul beast that cannot produce wisdom.

But insect soul beasts are different, they only have growth instincts, their cultivation base was ten thousand years ago, their intelligence is not high, and they will devour things that are beneficial to them immediately, regardless of whether they have grown up or not.

If this were the case, it would not be surprising if the Thousand-rooted Banyan Tree became extinct.

But in fact, the thousand root banyan is not extinct.

After Tang San learned about Qiangenrong, he had no choice but to praise the magic and magnificence of nature.

The thousand-root banyan is not extinct because it was guarded by a carnivorous silkworm-like soul beast named "banyan silkworm" before it grew up to a thousand years.

"Wuhun Encyclopedia" does not record how the banyan silkworm appeared on the thousand-rooted banyan tree, but every thousand-rooted banyan tree discovered below a thousand years has a banyan silkworm.

Tang San has a guess about this, that is, when the thousand-root banyan was still in the seed form, the banyan moth, the adult form spirit beast of the banyan silkworm, searched for the seeds of the thousand-root banyan all over the world, and laid eggs on it , growing together with the banyan tree.

Banyan silkworms are carnivorous silkworm soul beasts and do not eat vegetarian food. However, before the thousand-root banyan tree grows up, it cannot withstand the nibbling of other insect soul beasts.

The two go hand in hand, each taking what it needs.

Listening to Tang San's introduction to the companionship relationship between Qiangen Banyan and Banyan Silkworm, Su Yuntao, Ma Xiunuo and others were also eye-opening, lamenting the strange ecology between soul beasts.

Matthew Nuo asked a question: "Why is it under a thousand years?"

Tang San replied: "The "Wuhun Encyclopedia" did not give a corresponding explanation, it just said that banyan silkworms over a thousand years old, as long as they are not hunted, still exist, but they no longer pay attention to other people who come to eat leaves, The sap-eating insects were wiped out. I have two plausible guesses about it-"

Su Yuntao was curious: "What guess?"

"First, the banyan silkworm has no ability to drive out all other insects and spirit beasts, because the roots of the thousand-year-old banyan tree have stretched for nearly a kilometer underground, and the trunk above has a coverage of nearly a hundred meters."

Tang San talked eloquently and had the air of giving guidance to the country.

"At such a scale, a thousand-year-old banyan silkworm cannot manage it."

"Thousand-root banyans at the thousand-year level will no longer lose their vitality because of such a little juice. Those plant-eating insects and spirit beasts that suck the juice will also attract other carnivorous insects and animal spirit beasts. ecology."

"To put it bluntly, the thousand-year-old Qiangenrong is a small spirit beast forest."

Matthew Nuo nodded: "It should be like this. In the north of the Heaven Dou Empire, there is a soul beast forest full of thousand-rooted banyan trees. No soul master can tell whether those thousand-rooted banyan trees that criss-cross and connect as one are one or the other. Many plants... Actually, let alone ten thousand years, even if it is a thousand years, no soul master will hunt and kill this kind of plant soul beast. Except for the trouble of hunting, it is because it is equivalent to destroying a forest of soul beasts. An empire would allow soul masters to do this, and the Spirit Hall would not allow it."

A hunting forest, a plant soul beast.

Even if the soul masters of Douluo Dalu don't understand the principle of "sustainable development" and think with their asses, they all know how to choose.

"The second guess is that the banyan silkworm has reached maturity and will undergo transformation into a moth. It has no time to pay attention to other insect soul beasts."

"However, the first one is more likely."

During the discussion, the four of them had already passed through a large forest, and according to the map, they found the location of Qiangen Banyan.

The almost towering tree standing in front of Tang San was the thousand-rooted banyan tree.

The terrain here is also different from other places in Notting Forest. With this Thousand Banyan Tree as the center, within a radius of 30 meters, there is no grass growing, and there are thousands of Banyan Tree rhizomes that look like spider webs.

These rhizomes are not just on the surface layer, they are deeper underground.

Rumor has it that even a titled Douluo, who is famous for his strength, cannot uproot a century-old Thousand-rooted Banyan Tree because it is connected to the earth. To uproot a Thousand-rooted Banyan Tree, you need to have the power to lift the entire Douluo Continent. the power of.

Although this legend has elements of exaggeration, it may be true that the Title Douluo cannot pull up the thousand-rooted banyan tree.

Titled Douluo has a thousand ways to destroy a thousand-rooted banyan tree, but to uproot a thousand-rooted banyan tree, it can still be described as "a mayfly shakes the tree".Destructive power and strength can be said to be two different things.

"Is this the thousand-rooted banyan tree? It's really spectacular!"

Su Yuntao couldn't help being amazed.

Even though it is only more than 500 years old, the diameter of the trunk of this banyan tree exceeds ten meters!
However, unlike ordinary trees, the trunk of a thousand-rooted banyan tree is not round or oval. It is hollow inside and intertwined with each other, like an irregular fishing net held up, surrounded by two sides. It became a twisted ring.

Its trunk is very clean, with no extra branches and leaves. There is only a large crown on the top, and its coverage is equivalent to the scope of the roots on the ground.

The branches on the top have densely growing and spreading roots. Some of them have touched the ground and become hard. .

The combination of rigidity and softness is really strange.

This is how the banyan tree expands, with rhizomes growing from the crown branches towards the ground.

Ordinary trees can be roughly divided into crowns, tree trunks, and tree roots. However, plant-type soul beasts like the Thousand Root Banyan Tree actually have no tree trunks at all, only roots and tree crowns.

It can even be thought that this is a strange grass, grass that looks like a tree.

rustle!

The leaves on the crown of the tree trembled, and a green bug almost as big as a man's head emerged. The head was black, and there were two claws underneath, which were trembling, as if to warn Tang San and others.

"The banyan silkworm came out unexpectedly. I thought the tree needed to be cut down before it could appear. From the looks of it, it probably regarded us as intruders." Tang San was surprised, happy, and then He raised his finger and said to Sister Sisi, "We are lucky. We can take it down first, and then we can chop down the tree."

"Its attack method is to spin silk threads, which can be forked. I even think that if it has human intelligence, it can weave it into a spider web or something like that."

"Is it poisonous?" Su Yuntao possessed the body alone, turned into a werewolf, and was more concerned about whether this thing was poisonous, and Sisi's second soul ring could not be poisonous.

"Don't worry, Wuhun has a limit to poison, and I'll point it out to Sister Sisi first, why would I choose a poisonous spirit ring for Sister Sisi?" Tang San pointed out the age limit of this banyan silkworm, " After absorbing the soul power of this banyan silkworm, I guess Sisi's strength can be improved qualitatively, the silk thread of the banyan silkworm and the silk thread of the ribbon can be said to complement each other."

"More than 400 years, isn't this a bit high?" Su Yuntao was a little worried about whether his girlfriend could bear the 400-year soul ring, "How about changing it?"

"No, that's it." Sisi didn't want to give up, "Isn't the limit of the second soul ring around 700 years? This is only over 400 years, do you think I can't afford it? Don't underestimate me, when we are fighting PC , the first person with no physical strength, but you!"

Su Yuntao: "..."

"Ahem! Be careful what you say, there are children here." Matthew Nuo reminded him as he couldn't stand it anymore.

Su Yuntao was a little embarrassed, but he still didn't want to take any risks, so he got back to business and said, "That master's theory can't be trusted, he's just a joke."

In front of Yu Xiaogang, it is natural not to say this, but now, you can speak freely.

Matthew Nuo also nodded frequently.

"Isn't your second ring also 400 years old?" Sisi snorted, "You can do it, why can't I? Besides, the mistress has said that I am extremely compatible with this banyan silkworm."

"OK then."

Su Yuntao stopped trying to dissuade him. The first soul ring lit up and jumped towards the banyan silkworm.

The first soul skill: Hungry wolf pounces on food!
Naturally, he chose this name himself.

Soul ring: white.

Apparently, it was the retired teacher from Notting College who took the once-young him to hunt.

Xiao Chenyu is the son of the city lord, and he is just a white soul ring, let alone Su Yuntao?
The effect of the soul skill is also very useless. It allows Su Yuntao to get down on all fours while possessed by the martial soul, run like a real wolf and pounce on his prey.

If he didn't know that this was the effect of a soul skill, Tang San would have thought that Su Yuntao was playing dog*play.

In Tang San's view, it was a bit "luxury" to waste a soul ring's position to bring about such an attack method that could be done even without using soul ring skills.

There is nothing more helpless than this for civilian soul masters.

Most of their first soul rings were hunted by their teachers when they were studying in the Junior Soul Master Academy.

However, teachers at the junior soul master academy basically help capture and knock out soul beasts directly after encountering soul beasts that they think have similar characteristics to the students' souls, in order to save trouble.

They don’t consider everything for their students.

After all, hunting souls is not easy. If you fail to meet a suitable soul beast for a long time, the patience of the leading teacher will be worn away. In addition, the students are not really apprentices, so naturally they will not pay too much attention.

　Yu Xiaogang's best soul ring age is estimated to be the highest number of years that different soul masters can absorb at different levels recorded in history.

　　However, the physiques of people cannot be generalized.
