Chapter 102 Gu Mingxi's Thoughts
After some consideration, Nan Qiuqiu declined Yu Tianlong and Xingyan's offer to accompany her on her soul hunt.
Her target for this soul-hunting mission is called the Soul-Devouring Demon Tree.
The Soul-Devouring Demon Tree is a rather rare soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, and its ecological status is comparable to that of the Demon Eye Demon Tree.
Nan Qiuqiu chose it as her fourth spirit ring because it has a powerful elemental conversion ability.
The Soul-Devouring Demon Tree can disintegrate the attacks of soul beasts and soul masters, transforming them into the purest soul power needed for its own growth.
This ability has a similar effect to Nan Qiuqiu's annihilation power.
However, the elemental conversion ability of the Soul Devouring Demon Tree has a very obvious upper limit and also has efficiency issues.
It was precisely because of this limitation that the Soul Devouring Demon Tree was not able to become a top-tier plant-type soul beast.
The reason Nan Qiuqiu chose to refuse their company was that the habitat of the Soul-Devouring Demon Tree was infinitely close to the core area in the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest mixed zone.
Even with Xue Di, the ultimate titled Douluo in everyone's eyes, she was unwilling to let Yu Tianlong and Xing Yan take risks easily.
There will be plenty of opportunities to develop team synergy in the future, so this Soul Hunt won't make a difference.
Yu Tianlong and Xingyan are already quite powerful within the Soul Sect, but they are still too weak for the growth area of the Soul Devouring Demon Tree.
Nan Qiuqiu had a clear understanding of her own endurance; at most, she could only absorb soul beasts that were about 8,500 years old in the fourth ring.
Absorbing spirit rings as soon as possible, when you're getting very close to the core area, is best done quickly and without delay.
Therefore, Yu Tianlong and Xingyan accompanying the Soul Hunter will not only fail to promote the process, but may even have the opposite effect.
After hearing Nan Qiuqiu's concerns, Yu Tianlong and Xingyan exchanged a glance and then chose to accept them.
What she said was indeed true.
Even if Dean Su Wu is a top-tier title holder, when facing places where ferocious beasts might appear, being distracted by protecting them will ultimately limit some of her strength.
However, Huo Yuhao and Gu Mingxi were specifically chosen by the Snow Emperor to go on the Soul Hunt together.
The reason given by Xue Di was that Huo Yuhao's mental detection range has now approached five kilometers in all directions, and the straight-line range has doubled.
With him accompanying us on the Soul Hunt, we can maximize the chances of discovering the Soul Devouring Demon Tree and avoid wasting unnecessary time.
As for Gu Mingxi, her innate ability, Golden Pride, allows her to use the bloodline aura of the Golden Dragon to forcibly control a soul beast for a period of time without attacking it.
This would allow Nan Qiuqiu, a quasi-Soul Sect member, to carefully observe how the Soul Devouring Demon Tree utilizes its innate abilities to complete the transformation and absorption of elements.
Xue Di believes that only by carefully observing how the Soul-Devouring Ancient Tree operates can the effect of Nan Qiuqiu's future fourth soul skill be maximized.
Huo Yuhao, Gu Mingxi, and Nan Qiuqiu had no objections to her arrangements.
For Gu Mingxi, the fewer people who go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls, the better.
Although she was the offspring of a soul beast, through her interactions with the Azure Dragon Guard members over this period of time, she had come to accept them as her teammates to some extent.
Putting aside Huo Yuhao and Su Tong, who possess two ultimate martial souls, Yu Tianlong, Nan Qiuqiu, and Xingyan, based on their martial souls and talents, are destined to be trendsetters in the world of soul masters.
Gu Mingxi didn't know how to handle the relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.
However, she believes that by building good relationships with the young masters of these Soul Master factions in advance, she can at least increase the number of voices that consider issues from the perspective of Soul Beasts in future negotiations between humans and Soul Beasts.
After the four arrived at the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Mingxi would occasionally glance at Xue Di, who was at the forefront.
She pondered how to attract Di Tian while ensuring that Huo Yuhao and Nan Qiuqiu were unaware of her identity.
After sensing Gu Mingxi's gaze, Xue Di smiled slightly but did not react.
Because Huo Yuhao had already communicated with Xue Di on a soul level through the talisman of soul magic.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao fully understood that Gu Mingxi was a Star Dou Auspicious Beast.
"So, Gu Mingxi chose a path completely opposite to yours, senior, and completely transformed into human form?"
Huo Yuhao maintained his mental detection while communicating with Xue Di.
Xue Di responded, "I can sense that she has no ill intentions towards you; the power of fate cannot be deceived."
"Her martial soul is a golden dragon, so her soul beast background must be extraordinary and definitely have a great relationship with Di Tian."
"Now you know why Gu Mingxi disliked your nickname 'Little Emperor'?"
Huo Yuhao gave an awkward smile.
"I think she's staying by your side now mostly because of the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd."
During this time, Huo Yuhao told Xue Di that after he woke up from his coma, Gu Mingxi paid special attention to the Tianlin Ancient Halberd.
Distracted, Huo Yuhao replied to Nan Qiuqiu beside him, nodding and saying, "That's right."
He also spoke with the Snow Empress: "The reason why she chose to stay was probably because the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd absorbed the dragon blood from the Golden Dragon Spear."
"She regarded the Heavenly Scale Halberd as a weapon related to the dragon race."
Although the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd is related to dragons, its origins are completely different from those of weapons in the Douluo Continent.
Therefore, Gu Mingxi was destined to have no outcome.
"And her hostility towards me is probably related to the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd."
The Snow Empress dispersed a portion of her aura to ensure that no foolish soul beasts would waste time: "Your statement to the outside world is that the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd is related to the Ice Dragon."
"Therefore, she believes that the far north is paying attention to the ice attribute on the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd."
"After all, this is a weapon that can fight the Golden Dragon Spear to a standstill when it is in a tempered state. It is normal for her to think that the Far North will pay attention to the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd."
The four of them quickly ventured deeper into the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The ancient trees reached for the sky, blocking out the sun and making the surrounding view dim.
Huo Yuhao maintained his mental detection at its maximum range, searching for traces of the Soul-Devouring Demon Tree.
Nan Qiuqiu followed behind Xue Di, her expression a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
Gu Mingxi lagged behind the three, pondering when she should call upon Di Tian.
Finally, she decided that she would wait until Nan Qiuqiu successfully absorbed the soul ring before using the power of destiny to summon Di Tian to descend.
We must knock Huo Yuhao and Nan Qiuqiu unconscious as soon as possible.
The Heavenly Scale Halberd, which may be related to the Dragon-Slaying Blade, is already connected to Huo Yuhao's bloodline, so we can't let anything happen to him.
This is the only clue to the lost Dragon Clan's magic sword; it cannot be lost.
Just as Gu Mingxi was pondering, Huo Yuhao suddenly spoke up: "Found it."
"Eight and a half kilometers to the southwest, there is a Spirit Devouring Demon Tree with a cultivation level of about eight thousand two hundred years."
Gu Mingxi took a deep breath and quickly followed Xue Di there.
