"I understand. Starting from tomorrow, Yuhao, you will provide mental detection for our team. The range will be maintained at 800 meters. The extreme distance will consume a lot of money on you. Under normal circumstances, this range is enough."
After Zhang Lexuan listened to Huo Yuhao's words, she thought about it for a while and formulated a strategy.
"I understand, Senior Sister."
Huo Yuhao nodded and agreed.
After at least temporarily solving the team's unity problem on the surface, Zhang Lexuan ordered the team members to rest and decided on the candidates for the night watch.
Since this is outside the forest, only one night watchman is arranged for each group.
If we go deeper, each group will have two members. This is the best plan that Shrek has figured out after years of practice.
Nothing happened all night.
The sun rose the next day, and everyone who was meditating woke up at the same time, as if they had agreed.
After a short rest, Zhang Lexuan ordered to set off. From today on, they will start to face some troubles.
Fortunately, she has already done a good job of team coordination, otherwise the efficiency of their team will inevitably decrease.
Huo Yuhao's mental detection provided a very powerful auxiliary function for the group. All the attacks that the soul beasts intended to launch against them were detected by him in advance.
It saved them a lot of trouble. The faces of the inner courtyard disciples who originally disliked Huo Yuhao and the two men also softened a bit. Everyone appreciates capable people.
Just like that, three days later, the Shrek Soul Ring Hunting Group entered the mixed area of the Star Forest so smoothly and met their first target.
On this day, the soul ring hunting group traveled to a small pond. The place was very clean and did not fit in with the overall image of the Star Dou Forest.
However, other than that, there was nothing unusual, and Huo Yuhao's mental detection did not reveal any abnormalities.
A group of people walked out of the dense woods cautiously and looked at the small pond with beautiful environment.
"This place doesn't feel like it's in the Star Forest, but more like my garden."
A Shrek student said this after seeing the unique scene here.
Judging from the distribution of soul beasts, this place is at the edge of the mixed zone at best. This Shrek student is obviously a little relaxed, and he is still thinking about joking in the dangerous Star Dou Forest.
"Is your garden that big?"
His companion asked in surprise, although it was a small pond, the area was not small. If the garden could be so big, how big would his house be?
"Of course, it's even bigger than this. My family is quite big. Come and visit me when you have time."
The Shrek student who spoke first responded.
"Don't be careless, take a rest first, and then continue on your way."
Zhang Lexuan reminded him at the right time, but there was no emotion in her words, it was just a routine reminder.
"Yes, senior sister."
The two people who had a brief conversation responded in unison.
As soon as they finished speaking, a defensive soul shield on Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen suddenly activated, draining a large amount of soul power from the two of them.
The sudden change caught everyone by surprise.
Even the two parties involved did not know what happened because they did not feel any attack. ….
However, several people in the field are not newbies. Although there is still no movement here, they have gathered together and are vigilantly scanning every inch of the corner, ready to respond to the enemy at any time.
"Yuhao, what's going on?"
The person who spoke was Zhang Lexuan. She also made a defensive posture and looked around, but found nothing wrong. However, she saw it with her own eyes when the soul shields on Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen were triggered. Zhang Lexuan could not understand. Neng frowned and asked Huo Yuhao.
As the key training targets of Mingde Hall, Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen were equipped with high-level trigger-type soul guides. Although this equipment is no longer a new technology in the Sun and Moon Empire, it is still a scarce item for the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, so no one from Shrek
equipment.
Trigger-type soul guides can be automatically triggered when being attacked, mainly to guard against attacks that the soul guide himself has no time to react to.
At this time, it was because the attack had already arrived, but Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen did not take any precautions, so the soul guide was triggered.
"I don't know either, Senior Sister, there is something weird here. Let's withdraw first and discuss it later."
At this time, Huo Yuhao still didn't understand what happened, but the soul shield was still absorbing his soul power continuously, which showed that the attack was still continuing.
Zhang Lexuan was silent for a while, looking at the soul shield that continued to work on Huo Yuhao, and ordered to retreat.
Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen, who had retreated far away from the pond, put away their soul shields, and everyone temporarily lowered their guard.
Looking around, I found that this was indeed the outskirts of an ordinary mixed zone. The age of the surrounding soul beasts was generally over ten thousand years old. Logically speaking, it was unlikely that they would be exposed to a crisis that they could not detect.
The non-threatening crowd focused their attention on Huo Yuhao, their eyes full of doubts.
"My mental detection has been shared with you. Whatever you see, I see. There is no difference."
Huo Yuhao could only smile bitterly. He really didn't know what happened, and his mental detection didn't detect anything.
Hearing this, everyone pondered. They indeed saw nothing in the mental detection. Even if some people were careless, it was impossible for everyone to be unaware of the danger.
"Maybe it's poison."
While everyone was thinking, a female voice sounded.
Everyone turned their attention to Meng Hongchen, and it was she who spoke.
"The attack we received was probably poison, and apart from me and Yuhao, it's very likely that all of you were hit."
Meng Hongchen spoke again, and this time her words sent shivers down the spines of everyone in Shrek.
"What did you say?"
Zhang Lexuan frowned. She was a strong Contra expert. How could she be poisoned without noticing anything.
"If I guess correctly, judging from the situation just now, we are probably attacked by poison. Part of my ability is poison, so I know more about it than you do."
"This kind of poison is colorless and odorless, making it difficult to detect. If it weren't for Yuhao and I's soul shield, we probably wouldn't have discovered that we were poisoned until we died."
Meng Hongchen continued to elaborate on his speculation. ….
"How did this poison come about? You also shared Yuhao's mental detection just now, but you obviously didn't see anything."
Zhang Lexuan continued to ask.
"It may be a kind of soul beast that is good at hiding, and Yuhao's mental detection can't detect it."
When speaking, Meng Hongchen's tone contained a hint of uncertainty.
Although she thought her guess about the poison was accurate, she couldn't ignore what Zhang Lexuan said. She had always been very aware of Huo Yuhao's abilities. Why didn't she notice anything?
While talking, Meng Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao. She didn't understand what was going on.
"What the dream said makes sense. Mental detection is not omnipotent. There must be things that it cannot detect. We cannot exclude this."
Huo Yuhao looked at the people who were looking at him again. He was not blindly confident and denied Meng Hongchen's guess.
Hearing this, everyone in Shrek, including Zhang Lexuan, fell into deep thought.
If Meng Hongchen's guess is true, then they are now in a highly poisonous state. In this state, they must not act easily, otherwise they will definitely die ugly.
When they thought of this, their faces became ugly.
Meng Hongchen noticed their changing moods and said:
"Don't worry too much. The antidote to the poison is usually found in the poisoner, so if we can find the hidden soul beast, we can find a way to detoxify it. It's just..."
Halfway through, Meng Hongchen stopped talking.
"Just what?"
Zhang Lexuan asked.
"It's just that this kind of invisible and colorless poison is usually very strong. If we can't find it in a short time, some of you may not be able to support it."
As soon as Meng Hongchen said this, the faces of several Shrek students changed drastically, and a bit of panic flashed in their eyes. They graduated from Shrek and had a bright future, and they definitely didn't want to die in such an unclear way.
"Then what are you waiting for? Miss Meng, let's go back and find it quickly."
The student who had previously said that his family was very big couldn't help but said that although he didn't feel anything yet, he was obviously panicked.
"Since this is a possibility, we must go back and investigate. We just need to discuss countermeasures and cannot blindly enter like we did just now."
"Moreover, Dean Cai did not take action, which shows that she believes that it is not a life-or-death crisis yet and we can handle this matter."
Zhang Lexuan was not as impulsive as him and analyzed the problem calmly.
"That's right, we just realized something was wrong and quickly retreated. The poison won't be too deep. As long as we find the troublesome soul beast, we can detoxify it."
Meng Hongchen stepped forward in time to stabilize the morale of the army.
"Okay, let's go back first. Yuhao uses his mind to detect its traces at a safe distance. No one is allowed to enter."
Zhang Lexuan made a decision.
The group of people went to the pond again with extreme caution. They must find this soul beast this time, otherwise their lives will be in danger.
Huo Yuhao's mental detection opened the maximum range. They measured every inch of the small pond area within a safe range.
Under such a carpet, Hanhai Wuya's mental energy was greatly consumed. After a long time, he finally noticed a clue. ….
Without any external force, a small stone beside the pond suddenly moved.
Huo Yuhao quickly locked onto the target. Upon closer inspection, there was no doubt that it was a spirit beast. However, they looked at it for a long time but could not feel any life breath from it. Moreover, it perfectly hid itself in the environment and remained motionless.
No wonder they couldn't detect it. It turned out to be so well hidden. If it hadn't just moved on its own, they might still not be able to find it.
"I remembered."
After observing for a long time, Meng Hongchen suddenly remembered something and cried out in surprise.
"Meng, what did you think of?"
Huo Yuhao asked.
"I remembered what this spirit beast is, the Soul-Spiked Bombe Toad. I've read some information about it. It's a poisonous spirit beast."
"The Soul-thorned Bombe Toad is very picky about its living environment. They can hardly survive in a dirty environment. I think it is precisely because of this that it chose this beautiful pond to live in."
"It is small in size, but very poisonous. It is invisible and colorless and can be spread through the air. The toxin will continue to accumulate in the prey's body and will not attack in a short period of time. It will not explode until the prey is completely unable to resist. It will kill the prey almost instantly."
"The information says that they are very good at hiding, but I didn't expect it to be so good at hiding. It even completely hid the breath of life. It took so long to breathe once."
Meng Hongchen shared the information he learned about the Soul-thorned Bombe Toad with everyone.
"Soul-thorned Bombe Toad, I have also heard of this kind of soul beast. It has all kinds of strange abilities, but its body is very weak. It is very suitable for your soul ring. I just don't know how old this Bombe Toad is."
After Zhang Lexuan heard Meng Hongchen talk about it, she read its information in her mind.
"Yes, it is very suitable to be my sixth soul ring. Judging from the appearance, this bombe toad has a cultivation level of over fifteen thousand years, which meets my needs for a sixth soul ring."
Meng Hongchen said, it was obvious that she was very satisfied with this soul beast.
"Meng, do you have a way to detoxify it?"
Zhang Lexuan asked.
"No problem, its poison glands contain antidote substances. I'll kill it first and then take out the poison glands."
Meng Hongchen replied.
Meng Hongchen took out a level 6 soul guide gun and aimed it at the Soul Thorn Bell.
The Toad Queen sent out a soul-guiding ray.
As Zhang Lexuan said, the soul-thorned bombe toad is very weak, and a level 6 soul ray can kill it.
Meng Hongchen came to its body, cut off its poison glands with a knife and gave them to Zhang Lexuan to detoxify, and then prepared to absorb the black soul ring it produced.
Meng Hongchen's martial soul, the Ice Eyed Toad, has both poison and ice attributes. You can choose a soul ring among these two types of soul beasts. The Soul Stinging Bombe Toad, which has a strong poison attribute, is a good choice.
If you can get its invisible and colorless poison, it will definitely be a huge improvement for Meng Hongchen. No wonder she is so happy.
Zhang Lexuan distributed the detoxification substances one by one. After detoxifying, everyone began to protect Meng Hongchen.
The ten thousand year soul ring is a watershed, which contains some of the will of the soul beast during its lifetime, making it difficult for the soul master to absorb it.
So even though Meng Hongchen had already experienced it once, it still took a whole day to absorb it this time.
The poison in Shrek's people has long since been relieved. After all, the dose was very small and the detoxification was timely, so it did not cause any trouble to them.
After Meng Hongchen woke up at this time, they, who didn't care what soul skills Meng Hongchen had acquired, couldn't wait to go deeper and look for a suitable soul beast.
Just after entering the mixed zone, Meng Hongchen had a satisfactory harvest, which made them feel unbalanced.
"Congratulations, Meng, for achieving something so quickly."
As the captain, Zhang Lexuan naturally couldn't do the same as others, so she came over and congratulated Meng Hongchen.
"Thank you, senior sister, let's continue setting off."
….
Falling into the forest
