Douluozhi started by making Tang San vomit blood

The Soul Hunting Forest is a full four hundred miles away from Notting City, so even if Cao Heng and Mark set off early in the morning and arrived at the Soul Hunting Forest, it was noon the next day.

Outside the forest, large houses were built, and various shouts were heard one after another.

The stall owners kept coming forward to sell their products enthusiastically, but Cao Heng and his wife had already purchased the necessary items in Notting City, so they had no choice but to decline.

The stall owners were not angry after being rejected and immediately moved on to the next unfamiliar outsider.

Cao Heng walked for half an hour before walking out of the market and came to a fence tightly guarded by the army.

"Stop! Where is your warrant?" A soldier who looked like a captain stopped Cao Heng and the other two.

Mark, who was well prepared, handed over a black token. The soldier checked it over and over before letting the two men in.

After Mark took Cao Heng into the Soul-Splitting Forest, he entered the alert state, his vigilant eyes scanning various places where people and soul beasts could be hidden from time to time.

Although Mark's level as a soul master is not high, as a veteran who has been in the world for many years, he knows that every adventure requires a lot of energy. The story of the boat capsizing in the gutter is not just a story, it is the story of one soul master after another using their blood to fight against the enemy. Lessons learned through tears.

"Your martial spirit is Mirage Dragon, which is a more auxiliary beast martial spirit. Have you thought about what kind of spirit beast you want to hunt?" Mark asked.

"My martial spirit can release mist on a large scale, and I think a martial spirit in the realm of illusion would be more suitable for me." Cao Heng told Director Mark what he had already thought about.

"Well, that's a good choice." Mark agreed with Cao Heng's idea.

The two of them carefully explored and moved forward, erasing the traces of their walking to avoid pursuers.

Caution is the first lesson Mark taught Cao Heng.

"System, what is the maximum level of soul rings I can absorb now?" At this time, Cao Heng thought of the system that he had forgotten for a long time.

The reason why he had not used the system before was that Cao Heng was shocked by Tang San's tragic situation, and he did not want to cause such great harm to people who had no grudges. The other reason was that he had not come into contact with anyone worthy of his risk to plunder recently.

[Because the host's soul has become extremely tough after being tempered by traveling through space, and the body has been baptized by soul power and is stronger than other people of the same age, the system has comprehensively determined that the maximum soul ring that the host can absorb is: one thousand, three hundred years]

The system's answer made Cao Heng a little overjoyed. One thousand, three hundred years is already very close to the upper limit of the third soul ring of an ordinary soul master, but this is only his first soul ring.

The two of them walked all the way to the depths of the Soul-Splitting Forest. Although they met several hundred-year-old soul masters along the way, none of them were suitable for Cao Heng.

As night fell, the two people who had not found a suitable soul beast could only temporarily set up camp and wait for dawn to continue searching.

After setting up camp, Mark sprinkled medicinal powder around the camp. A medicinal powder made from the feces of high-level soul beasts and special drugs, which can effectively drive away most of the soul beasts in the soul hunting forest.

"Okay, you go to bed first. I'll keep watch in the first half of the night, and I'll wake you up in the second half of the night." Mark said to Cao Heng.

Cao Heng nodded when he heard this and walked into the tent, but he did not listen to Mark's words and start to sleep. Instead, he sat cross-legged and entered the cultivation state.

Night is the time when the soul beasts go out to hunt. The night in the soul hunting forest is quiet and deadly. The sound of the wind rustling through the treetops will cover up the footsteps of the soul beasts and the murderous intention brought by hunger.

Suddenly, an extremely slight rustling sound reached Cao Heng's ears, and Mark outside the tent immediately sent out an early warning signal.

"Director Mark, are you a human or a spirit beast?" Cao Heng asked softly as he walked out of the tent.

"It's a spirit beast, very small." Mark scanned the surrounding grass vigilantly. The spirit beasts that could ignore the approach of the medicine powder were at least 500 years old, so he couldn't help but be careless.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed toward Mark like a spear at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Mark's reaction was also very fast. In an instant, an earthy yellow light appeared on his body, blocking the attack.

At this time, Cao Heng and the two finally saw the black shadow clearly. It was a black snake with phantom patterns.

"Purple stripes and black body, this beast is thousands of years old. Xiao Heng, take care of yourself and don't get caught in the poisonous mist it sprays." Mark reminded.

The black phantom snake's body is pitch black, except for a color band behind its head. The color band of this black phantom snake has turned into light purple, which is proof that it is a thousand-year soul beast.

The black phantom snake missed one blow and was not in a hurry to attack again. It straightened up half of its body and kept swallowing the snake letter, staring at Cao Heng and Cao Heng with a pair of green snake eyes.

"Bear of the Earth! Possessed by the Martial Spirit!" Mark shouted and stepped forward to launch the attack first.

If he were the only one, Mark would definitely not take such a risk. Attacking first means taking the advantage, but it also means exposing his own vulnerabilities. But there is Cao Heng next to him who doesn't even have a soul ring. If he drags it on, he will attract other souls. The beast is very dangerous.

The black phantom snake rolled its belly to avoid the attack. Mark's martial spirit, the Earth Bear, did not have an advantage in speed, but its high defense and attack power made up for this shortcoming.

I can be hit by you many times, but if you are hit by me once, you have to leave.

"The first soul skill! Ground thorn!" When Mark saw that he missed a hit, he immediately activated his soul skill, and dozens of black spikes with metallic luster appeared on the ground.

Although the Black Phantom Snake tried its best to dodge, a sharp thorn was still pierced into the snake's tail, and black and red snake blood continued to flow from the wound the size of an adult's fist.

Seeing that he was injured, the black phantom snake's eyes showed a trace of cruelty, and its mouth opened slightly, and a ball of black mist spurted out.

The black phantom snake is not outstanding in terms of strength or defense. It can become a thousand-year soul beast in this forest under the dual hunting of humans and soul beasts, all thanks to this mouthful of black mist.

Not only does the black mist contain very deadly toxins, it can also cause hallucinations. Many powerful soul masters cannot even use their soul power to suppress the toxins after falling into hallucinations, and can only die slowly in the illusion.

The black mist flew towards Mark at an extremely fast speed. Seeing that he could no longer dodge, Mark's whole body glowed brightly. He planned to use his soul power to resist the blow, but when the black mist was about to get closer, he turned at a weird angle. He turned a corner and headed straight towards Cao Heng behind him.

The black phantom snake is a thousand-year-old soul beast. He has begun to gain wisdom, and of course he knows that compared to the adult human in front of him, the human cub hiding behind is much weaker. According to human terms, this is called a must-save when attacking the enemy.

That's right, the Black Phantom Snake never thought that it could subdue Mark with this move. Even without the bonus of the related spirit rings, the innate poison resistance brought by the Earth Bear Martial Spirit is not low. The Black Phantom Snake just Just buy time for yourself to escape.

"Whoops!" Just when the Black Phantom Snake was about to escape secretly, a venomous stinger suddenly emerged from the ground, only two or three centimeters away from the snake's head that pierced him.

The Black Ephemera Snake turned around and looked. There was a human cub that had been poisoned and fell to the ground. How could Mark, who took caution as his life creed, not prepare antidote items?From the beginning, Cao Heng had a prepared antidote under his tongue, so the poisonous mist from the Black Phantom Snake only made Cao Heng a little dizzy.

The Black Phantom Snake, whose strongest killing move was ineffective, was covered in bruises by Mark soon after. Just when Mark was about to end his life, Cao Heng's voice rang out.

"Director Mark, can you leave him to me?"
