“Let the command be given to Diyi Hong.” said Flanders.
“No problem.”
Diyi Hong took it with a smile, he didn’t want to be ordered around.
Next is the team configuration.
“Dai Mubai leads the way, Zhuqing and Xiaowu are on the left and right wings, Rongrong, Oscar, and me are in the middle, and Tang San and Ma Hongjun are at the rear.”
“During the battle, I will only be responsible for commanding and will try not to interfere, otherwise you won’t be able to train anything.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The soul skills of Diyi Hong are too powerful. What can they do if he takes action?
Only Tang San had a question mark on his face. He is a control system, but he was assigned to cover the rear?
Is this reasonable?
“It would be more appropriate for me to be in the middle.” Tang San questioned: “My Blue Silver Grass can connect everyone and assist in movement when necessary.”
Diyi Hong ignored him.
He summoned his martial spirit, the Ancient Tree of Life, and swung its branches out to wrap around everyone’s waists.
Let the facts speak for themselves—what you can do, I can do too.
“…” Tang San is a little flustered. He always feel that the appearance of Diyi Hong is a disaster for him.
Dai Mubai took the lead, enduring the pain and clearing the way.
The rest followed.
Diyi Hong still spread his phoenix wings and floated half a meter off the ground.
It’s not that he want to fly, he just don’t want to walk.
He also used the speed consciousness he had just activated to conceal the aura of the million-year-old soul bones of the Phoenix Wings so that the soul beasts will not be hindered by the pressure and dare not attack.
This move made Flanders and others confirm once again that the background of Diyi Hong was definitely not simple.
Even they couldn’t conceal the aura of the soul bone.
Moreover, soul power is needed to activate the external soul bone. Diyi Hong has been flying since he left Shrek and he has never rested.
Little did they know, the Phoenix Wings are the Phoenix God’s divine armor. They originally stored divine power, which is enough for Diyi Hong to use for a long time.
——After he uses it up, he can just ask the Phoenix God for more rewards.
The main focus is to enjoy life in the moment.
The Star Dou Great Forest is divided into the outer area, mixed area, and core circle according to the division of soul beasts.
The outer area Is mainly populated by ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts, with the occasional thousand-year soul beast.
After a day of rapid march, they entered the mixed area dominated by thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
“There’s something going on!” Zhu Zhuqing warned, “It’s a snake flying close to the ground. It has a fleshy crown on its head that’s bigger than its head. Its body is bright red like blood, and its tail is fan-shaped.”
It’s the elite monster Phoenix-tailed Crest Serpent that’s here to deliver the gift.
This time they didn’t even enter Star Dou Town, but they still ran into this thing.
Tang San at the end of the team had an idea and prepared to show off his knowledge reserves.
Diyi Hong has said——
“This Phoenix-tailed Crest Serpent is less than 2,000 years old. Normally, it would be suitable for Oscar, but now it is too young.”
“Fatty, activate your martial spirit suppression and scare it away.”
Ma Hongjun gladly accepted the order, and his martial spirit Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix appeared and chanted loudly in the air.
The aura of the top-level martial spirit frightened the Phoenix-Tailed Crest Serpent so much that it turned around and fled around the Shrek team.
No one failed to notice that there was a small disc attached to its underside.
A level 5 soul-guided elemental bomb, if set to a speed below a certain level, will blow it to pieces.
This was naturally a move made by Diyi Hong.
As for the reason?
If Meng Yiran absorbs this soul ring, who will drive away the subsequent human-faced demon spiders?
Insurance must come first hand.
Not long after.
The team ran into Meng Yiran and Chao Tianxiang.
There was no dispute this time, and both sides tacitly avoided it.
Half a day later.
Finally, they met a suitable soul beast – the Fiery Flame Owl.
A rare bird with the attribute of flame, which is extremely difficult to capture by ordinary soul masters.
But, except Ma Hongjun, everyone in the team has a flying soul guide.
“The age limit is 2500 years. Can Fatty absorb it?” Tang San said first: “See it hovering in the air, it regards us as prey.”
Ma Hongjun was a little uncertain and looked at Diyi Hong.
Does the Phoenix Essence he absorbed have the effect of increasing his maximum capacity?
Diyi Hong looked towards the live broadcast room.
[“Phoenix God”: The Phoenix Origin is a divine artifact! Are you kidding? Below ten thousand year soul ring, he can absorb it at will! ]
That makes sense.
“You can absorb it.” Diyi Hong said truthfully: “Theoretically, you will have no problem if it is less than ten thousand years.”
Ma Hongjun was shocked!
The others also looked sideways.
“Less than ten thousand years is fine?” Ma Hongjun asked again.
“In theory, yes.” Diyi Hong nodded.
Ma Hongjun was about to ask, but the Fiery Owl in the sky seized the opportunity, swooped down, and stretched out its claws towards Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu dodged nimbly by jumping away.
Unexpectedly, a red shadow flew out of the woods. It was another Fiery Eagle!
It was smaller in size, but faster.
Just as it was about to take Xiao Wu away, Diyi Hong pulled the Ancient Tree of Life and brought her back.
“Roar!”
Dai Mubai uses martial spirit possession and pounced towards the new Fiery Flame Owl.
But he was also pulled back by Diyi Hong.
Dai Mubai coughed and looked back in confusion.
What does it mean?
“Swish——”
Flanders flashed closer, using his flying soul skill. Seeing that Dai Mubai was fine, he turned back.
Dai Mubai’s pupils shrank! How could he not understand that he must have just walked through the gates of hell!
“7400-year-old Fiery Flame Owl!” Tang San said sharply: “At least the strength of a four-ring soul master, everyone…”
“Sizzle——”
A thin golden line hit the small Fiery Owl Eagle. It should have flapped its wings to rise higher, but instead it fell headfirst to the ground, plowing a gully dozens of meters long.
Of course, it was Diyi Hong. There was a metal mosquito perched on his right arm, with a golden sheen still remaining on the tip of its mouthparts.
A Level 5 soul-guided paralysis ray!
It can paralyze a five-ring Soul King for one second, so it will take at least ten seconds for this Fiery Flame Owl Eagle, which is only equal to a four-ring Soul Ancestor, to move.
Everyone was surprised. But their movements were not slow, and soul rings lit up one by one.
“Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!”
Dai Mubai held off the initial Fiery Owl Eagle, while Ning Rongrong assisted in increasing the strength.
The rest of the people surrounded it and focused their fire on the little Fiery Owl, which was still paralyzed.
Pay special attention to its wings and beat it into a free-range chicken.
After it regained movement, it let out a deafening cry. The soul power in its body was surging, and it looked like it was about to launch a powerful attack.
“Sizzle——”
Another paralyzing ray, and it fell headfirst.
“Fatty, hurry up!”
Ma Hongjun took out a dagger, stabbed it into the eyeball of the Fiery Owl Eagle, and chopped its brain into pieces with a fierce twist.
The Fiery Owl Eagle, who was under general anesthesia, passed away peacefully.
A purple soul ring floated up.
This caused the 2,500-year-old Fiery Owl to cry out in grief.
Soul power exploded, and flames appeared on the wings.
A winged blade slashed towards Dai Mubai!
“Bang!”
Dai Mubai activated his Vajra Indestructible Body and used his crossed tiger claws to withstand the explosive attack.
Instead of retreating, he rushed forward and hugged the Fiery Owl Eagle. With his strong defense, he was able to resist the burning flames. The muscles in his arms swelled sharply!
“Ahhhh!!!”
