Have you ever thought about this? Nether Wolves are pack animals and extremely vengeful. To obtain a Nether Wolf's spirit ring, you basically have to wipe out an entire pack.
Let's assume the least difficult scenario: the nearly two-thousand-year-old Nether Wolf that Zhu Qing needs is the alpha wolf of a pack. Let's analyze the strength of the opponents we'll face in this situation.
First, the alpha wolf itself. Considering that the alpha wolves of a pack are usually a male and female pair with roughly equal strength, this means the pack has at least two thousand-year-old Nether Wolves. Second,
the other members of the pack. According to my knowledge, a pack led by a thousand-year-old Nether Wolf..." A wolf pack typically consists of around twenty individuals. There are strict hierarchical differences among the pack's members, so aside from the alpha pair, there shouldn't be any other thousand-year-old Netherwolves among the pack's members. However, since packs led by thousand-year-old Netherwolves usually live deep within the Soul Beast Forest, the possibility of Netherwolves below a hundred years old existing is also unlikely.
In summary, the average Netherwolves in this pack range in strength from one hundred to nine hundred years. However, because Netherwolves are exceptionally skilled in speed and teamwork, even those hundred-year-old Netherwolves, when combined, might unleash a fighting force that would cause Soul Masters considerable trouble, injury, or even death.
Of course, we... This team's strength is significantly greater than that of an ordinary Soul Master-level team. If we go all out, wiping out the Netherworld Wolf pack I just described shouldn't be a problem.
But can we really afford the cost of eliminating such a pack of Netherworld wolves? Leaving aside the possibility that the noise from a large-scale, prolonged battle with the Netherworld wolves might attract other soul beasts in the forest, are you really confident you can wipe out these incredibly fast, cunning, patient, and elusive soul beasts in one fell swoop?
If we can't wipe them out, I'm certain the remaining members of the pack will fight us to the death. As long as they don't... Even if we temporarily leave the Soul Beast Forest, this matter won't end. When we step into the Soul Beast Forest again, those guys will follow us like ghosts, constantly thinking of ambushing us until one of us is completely dead. Of course
, if we're lucky enough to encounter a lone Thousand-Year Nether Wolf, then turning it into Zhu Qing's third soul ring isn't actually impossible."
Scratching his chubby face, realizing how troublesome his previous idea was to implement, Ma Hongjun said somewhat helplessly, "Why do I feel like Zhu Qing's soul ring selection is no simpler than mine? Aren't there quite a few feline soul beasts?"
"It's mainly a matter of attributes. The Netherworld attribute isn't a common one among the Five Elements. Soul beasts with or similar attributes are relatively few in number. In addition, these soul beasts are mostly skilled at hiding their tracks and are masters of ambush, so human soul masters don't know much about them.
Zhu Qing, is there a soul beast you particularly want? Or, what kind of soul beast do you usually choose for your third soul ring?"
After briefly answering the little fat boy's questions, Oschin asked Zhu Zhu Qing again to confirm her wishes.
"When we're at home, since the younger generation usually hunts spirit beasts with the help of stronger elders, we generally choose Shadow Cats. These groups of shadow-attribute feline spirit beasts are easier to find.
But as I said, with our current strength, it's too dangerous to forcibly cause trouble for the Shadow Cat clan. So other suitable spirit beasts are also acceptable. I personally don't have any particular preference."
"Okay, I admit, I haven't come up with a way to hunt a suitable thousand-year-old Shadow Cat without alerting the entire Shadow Cat clan.
We need to change our target. I think the Phantom Lynx is a good choice."
"Why? That thing isn't easy to find." Dai Mubai was somewhat puzzled by the spirit master Oschin's choice.
"Last night, the detection soul tool seemed to have detected the trail of a Phantom Lynx. I suspect there might be a Phantom Lynx territory to our east."
"Are you kidding me? If a Phantom Lynx got close enough to be detected by the soul tool, how could we be here so safely?"
"It's sound. Your understanding of sound wave detection soul tools isn't comprehensive enough. Besides receiving the sound waves they emit, sound wave detection soul tools can also receive various sound waves from nature.
Last night, while on watch, I was so bored that I had Seva analyze the sound wave data received by the sound wave detection soul tool. Seva's analysis told me that one sound wave band from the east was very similar to the sound wave band of the Phantom Lynx that the teachers collected. Anyway,
we don't have a specific target right now, so let's try our luck to the east."
"Do you have approximate distance data?" While the other students were still marveling at the function and application of the soul tool, Oscar had already caught up with his younger brother's train of thought.
"The distance shouldn't be short. The sound waves were already somewhat blurred when they were received. I guess it's at least ten kilometers away."
"Then stop talking nonsense and let's go. If we're lucky enough, we can spend a peaceful night in the territory of the Phantom Lynx." When it came to his wife's soul ring, Dai Mubai was very enthusiastic.
Although Oscar thought that Dai Mubai might also be unable to resist showing off his fourth soul ring in front of everyone.
Everyone was already very skilled at setting up the camp. Fifteen minutes later, the students, with everything in place, lined up and, led by Cowen, headed east
from the camp. As it turned out, both the sound wave soul tool and Seva's analysis were quite reliable. At around 3:30 pm, with the help of the soul tool, the students, who had traveled nearly eleven kilometers through the jungle, stopped. Cowen told everyone that there was an ownered spirit beast territory not far ahead, and judging from the scent, it should belong to a solitary feline spirit beast.
After some simple camouflage and preparation, the students gathered together.
"We need to figure out what kind of spirit beast that territory belongs to. We're already deep in the inner circle of Sunset Forest, and we could easily get into trouble if we're not careful."
