Chapter 60 The Problematic Boy
Upon hearing the shout, everyone was drawn in as if by a magnet, turning to look in the direction of the sound, but the person was nowhere to be seen. When they came to their senses, the Mirror Image Poisonous Python, which had been lying on the ground, had vanished like smoke.
"I'm on the block, there's a thief!" Wu Heyi couldn't help but curse.
"You are the thieves!" The voice rang out again, like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.
Immediately afterwards, a huge head slowly emerged from a tree behind them, like a demon crawling out of hell.
The group quickly turned around and saw a Mirror Image Poisonous Python, at least ten times larger than the one they had just seen, appear before them. For a moment, they were all stunned into silence.
This is such a large soul beast. Judging from its length and size, it must be at least 5 years old. Yet it can speak human language, which makes people wonder if it is a 10-year-old soul beast.
However, if there were truly 10-year-old soul beasts in this area, the world would probably have been turned upside down long ago.
At this moment, Dugu Bo suddenly let out a cold laugh, and then his left hand made a finger-flicking motion as if playing a pipa, and then condensed a soul energy bullet at his fingertip, which was launched at a tricky angle.
A scream was heard, and then the huge soul beast disappeared like clouds blown away by the wind. Then a figure slowly emerged from under the big tree.
At the same time, the stolen Mirror Image Poisonous Python was also by his side.
Upon seeing him reveal his true form, Wu Heyi immediately pounced on him like a hungry tiger, grabbing his collar and pulling him up.
"Speak! Why did you steal our soul beast? We hunted it first!" Wu Heyi's eyes widened in anger, and his voice was deafening.
Although Wu Heyi was holding him back, and Dugu Bo's energy blast had just hit him, causing him considerable pain, he still endured the pain and grimaced as he said, "You're the thieves! First you stole A-Cai's fruit, and now you want to steal A-Cai's life!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was completely baffled, as if they were monks scratching their heads, and asked in unison, "Huh?"
"Yes, that's Ah Cai!" The boy pointed to the Mirror Image Poisonous Python, which had already been knocked unconscious.
"I've raised him for ten years, and he's never hurt anyone!"
As the boy spoke, tears began to fall from his eyes.
"It's such a well-behaved animal, why are you killing it!"
Suddenly, everyone fell silent. From his perspective, they looked exactly like the villains!
After the little boy's words, Dugu Yan couldn't bring herself to harm the spirit beast. The main reason was that the spirit beast had an owner, and she couldn't bully someone's pet in front of its owner.
"What a waste of time!" Wu Heyi muttered, covering his face.
After Wu He put the person down, he even straightened the person's collar and patted the wrinkles on the chest of the clothes.
"Hmm, why is it so soft!"
Wu Heyi had some doubts.
Just then, the little boy's face turned bright red.
"If you want to hunt soul beasts, I suggest you go to those two mountains to the north. There's a Mirror Image Poisonous Python there. When Ah Cai and I found it before, we thought we could make friends with it, but that guy was really fierce. It would bite anyone it saw, so Ah Cai and I never went there again!"
The little boy spoke quickly while pointing to the distant mountain peaks.
He did this in order to get Wu Heyi and the others to spare his pet beast. After all, he had been with this Mirror Image Poisonous Python for ten years and had developed feelings for it.
The group looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Since they're all spirit beasts of the same race, killing one doesn't matter; we can just find another.
Just as the group was about to leave, Wu Heyi asked a crucial question.
"You and Ah Cai have lived together for ten years. Is your home in the Soul Beast Forest?"
At this point, everyone realized that this was not the edge of a forest, a place where thousand-year-old soul beasts roamed, and ordinary soul masters could not stay here for long.
The little boy chuckled.
"I am a child who was raised with great difficulty by the spirit beasts in these mountains and forests! I was abandoned here by my parents when I was a child!" The little boy said this with a bitter smile on his lips.
Then Wu Heyi asked, "What is your martial spirit? Is it the Mirror Image Poisonous Python?" Wu Heyi felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of that huge head, as if it were a demon from hell.
“Me!” the boy said, pointing to himself.
At this point, Dean Sen had already understood Wu Heyi's question. However, although the situation of children raised by soul beasts did exist in the Empire, the idea of living with a thousand-year-old soul beast was somewhat untenable. Moreover, the boy in front of them had clearly already awakened his martial soul.
Judging from the fluctuations of his soul power, he was at least a two-ring Great Soul Master. If he grew up with soul beasts from a young age, how did he awaken his martial soul? And how did he manage to ruthlessly kill those low-level soul beasts?
These seemingly simple questions are actually as difficult to answer as a fog.
The boy took out a pair of gloves, gently put them on, and said, "This is my martial spirit."
Two pale yellow spirit rings floated on the spirit, like two faint candlelights, clearly two spirit rings no more than 300 years old.
Wu Heyi didn't even ask what the effects of his martial spirit were; she just watched as the man began to demonstrate it, because she felt that she was destined to suffer a calamity today.
Martial Soul: Fear Gloves
Passive: Can see through the target's current thoughts and transform them into the target's appearance.
First Soul Skill: Fear
Effect: Releases terrifying soul power, like a surging torrent, which can instantly detect the object of the caster's fear at that moment.
Then she gently placed her hand on the large head of the Mirror Image Poisonous Python.
In an instant, the boy's body began to undergo strange changes, as if it had been enchanted.
The boy transformed into a massive soul beast, as large as a mountain. Although slightly smaller than the enormous head he had just possessed, it was still a colossal creature.
But just then, the boy spoke again, his voice booming, "I told you I gave you a chance to leave, but you still had to ask so many questions. Fine, then none of you are leaving! All of you stay here!"
The boy suddenly appeared like a ferocious spirit beast, his thick tail whipping around like a mountain. Only Dugu Yan was caught off guard; this sudden turn of events left her bewildered and completely dazed.
"How did they suddenly start fighting!"
After Wu Heyi and the other two dodged the attack, Wu Heyi hurriedly explained to Dugu Yan!
