Insufficient balance
Zheng Feng and Wei Ba had a frank conversation, after which Wei Ba still insisted that Zheng Feng should only absorb the blood of earth-attribute soul beasts for now. This was because a large part of Zheng Feng's current beast soul power came from Ya, whose beast soul power was earth-attribute. If Zheng Feng absorbed the same attribute, it would be very helpful to Ya. Moreover, Wei Ba told Zheng Feng to give the piece of You Ming Tiger's beast crystal to Ya to absorb, which should also enhance Ya's strength.
Zheng Feng had previously heard that after absorbing the black ball, Ya would mutate, but he didn't know if it was for better or worse, so he hadn't given it to Ya. Now hearing what Wei Wei said, he asked: "Didn't you say that after giving it to Ya to absorb, there's a possibility that Ya might mutate in a bad way?"
If the tail could appear now, it would definitely look at Zheng Feng with disdain. It said: "Whoever becomes stronger is not taking risks, but it's possible and not absolute. Ask Huang Mao yourself, see what he means, if he wants to give it, don't want to pull down. Also, hurry up and prepare, I know that in the central part of Qinghai Forest, there is a tribe of forest giants, which is very suitable for you to level up as a beast master."
"Hmm, the dormitory is not convenient now. I'll find an opportunity to try out the Youming Tiger's tooth, and after tomorrow, there will be a day off, then go take a look at the Forest Giant's tribe." Zheng Feng said.
......
Zheng Feng felt that today was particularly smooth, the common face Wang Hao Wei did not tease students, the long princess who made people's heads ache did not come to pester him, and the violent bear and jackal did not come again to provoke. After class, he said hello to Fu Yan Jie and Duan Ya, saying that he had something to do and would probably not return to the dormitory tonight. Then he immediately set off towards Qinghai Forest, he was already a little impatient to see what kind of surprise "Blood Soul" would bring to him.
In the Qinghai forest, Zheng Feng rode a swift-flying beast. A small tail sat on Zheng Feng's left shoulder, explaining to him about the Forest Giant Demon.
Trolls are divided into four subspecies: Forest Trolls, Jungle Trolls, Ice Trolls and Desert Trolls. The Forest Troll is a branch of the troll family. It's said that thousands of years ago, a strange mutation allowed trolls' bodies to support plant growth to some extent. Shortly after birth, their skin would inevitably be covered with a layer of moss, giving them green skin as a distinctive feature. Most forest trolls discriminate against all other races and often fight with the wind element spirits who love forests. Since ancient times, all trolls have disliked spirits, but forest trolls are especially hostile to wind element spirits.
Every forest giant is a ferocious beast with superior attributes, they like to live in tribes and are smarter than ordinary soul beasts because of their humanoid appearance. Each tribe will place patrolling sentries on the periphery. This time, Zheng Feng's target was those lone patrolling sentries. Tail told Zheng Feng that he must not disturb the entire forest giant tribe, as there must be a king among them. If they accidentally disturbed the tribal chief, they could only escape. With his current strength, Zheng Feng was no match for the Forest Giant Chief, who was an intermediate-level fierce beast.
In the dark of night, with this "encyclopedia" and "navigator" with a tail, plus the "four-wheel drive" of teeth, Zheng Feng had much less trouble, and soon arrived at the central part of the Qinghai forest, at the border of the Forest Giant tribe, found a place to hide and rest, quietly waiting for the arrival of tomorrow's patrol soldiers.
Zheng Feng remained still, hiding in the bushes as he calmly watched the Forest Giant approach from a distance. Although he had heard Tail's introduction yesterday, seeing the creature up close was a different experience altogether. Before him stood a green-skinned monster with a humanoid figure and a hunched back. Its long, pointed nose was flanked by sharp teeth protruding from its mouth, each at least 30 centimeters in length. The thin ears were shaped like triangular wings, constantly twitching as if listening carefully to the surrounding sounds. A fiery red mane ran from the top of its head down to its shoulders. Its back was covered with various mosses and weeds, and surprisingly, it held a small stone knife in each hand.
The appearance of the Forest Giant is vastly different from the Soul Beast that Zheng Feng had seen before. Not only does it have a human-like form, but it also uses weapons?! This has a huge impact on Zheng Feng, and perhaps what Weilai said was correct - Soul Beasts and humans do share many similarities to some extent. However, he won't show any mercy because of Weilai's words; the phrase that resonates with him the most is "As long as you win and stay alive, that is the most correct answer".
Zheng Feng slowly activated his Beast Soul Power, and a yellow Beast Soul Power gradually gathered in his right arm.
100m, 5m, 60m, 30m, 15m, 5m!!!!!
"Hmph", "Hmph", "Hmph", "Hmph", "Hmph"!!!!!
He and Ya had already connected spiritually, without needing to make a sound. As soon as the Forest Giant entered within 5 meters of their best attacking range, Ya used Earth Thorn Thrust, and five sharp thorns suddenly burst forth from under the Forest Giant's feet. Because this distance was within the effective range of Ya's Gravity Technique, although he didn't plan on using the Soul Beast's power to consume a large amount of gravity technique at the start, it was better to be prepared, and Zheng Feng fundamentally didn't have any effective long-range attacks anyway. Close combat was his best choice, and he immediately punched out with explosive force.
At the moment when the earth thorn burst out, the forest giant's long ear suddenly shook violently, and then its body quickly moved sideways, just about to avoid the earth thorn. But Zheng Feng punched out from a nearby bush, forcing the forest giant to move its body again.
"Burp"
“#¥%@”
Although the Forest Troll dodged Zheng Feng's punch, its sharp teeth-like protrusions did not completely avoid it, and one of them pierced through his left wrist. The troll let out a pained cry in a language that Zheng Feng couldn't understand. The ferocious Forest Troll was not immobilized by having its wrist pierced, and it immediately swung its right hand knife to chop at the protrusion, cutting it off.
The forest giant who had shaken off the earth spike did not counterattack, but instead wanted to turn around and escape.
Zheng Feng wouldn't let the Forest Giant return to its tribe to get reinforcements and come after him, so he quickly turned around, aimed at the Forest Giant's already pierced left hand, and swung his fist horizontally. The Forest Giant, with its back to Zheng Feng, seemed to have anticipated that Zheng Feng would counterattack and attack its left hand, so it tilted its body to the right and down, and its remaining right hand fiercely swung back, sending a stone knife flying towards Zheng Feng.
As the giant's small knife chopped over, Zheng Feng immediately stopped his attack and retreated backwards. However, his right hand that was sweeping out to the side did not completely avoid the knife and was slashed with a shallow wound. Fortunately, he withdrew in time; otherwise, it would not have been just a shallow wound, and he might have even chopped into his arm.
When the beast saw its master being stabbed, it suddenly pounced on the Forest Giant, swinging a claw at its body. The repeated dodges had already exhausted the Forest Giant's explosive force, and now it couldn't avoid the beast's tiger claws. The sharp claws immediately left five deep wounds on the Forest Giant's chest. The beast took advantage of the situation and didn't show mercy, pushing forward with its tiger claws, making a "bang" sound. The Forest Giant was pressed to the ground. The beast's other tiger claw also quickly pressed down on the Forest Giant's chest, both claws splitting apart, using force to tear open the Forest Giant's chest.
“#¥%@”
The forest giant let out a miserable cry before dying, and then died again.
Zheng Feng calmly covered the wound with his left hand and watched as the Forest Giant was killed by Ya, only then did he put down his guard and slowly analyze the battle that had just occurred.
The battle didn't last long, but it was a fierce hand-to-hand combat. The Forest Giant's hearing was extremely sharp, and it could even dodge the sound of teeth chattering and stabbing, its movements were also very agile, its defensive power may not be strong, but its intelligence made up for this weakness, after being injured, it pretended to escape, luring the enemy to chase, and then struck with its halberd. This series of actions may have been too fast for humans to react, but they appeared on a Soul Beast.
"Hey, hey! You big pervert, don't just stand there like an idiot. A patrol guard from the Forest Troll tribe will be here soon. Hurry up and collect the corpse and leave this place. Find a safe spot to absorb the beast soul power from the Forest Troll's blood!!"
From the nearby thicket, a creature slowly flew out, and that leisurely shadow was not a tail, who else could it be.
