37: Soul Bone Appears, Fight BeginsWen Dong and his four companions had once hid in the Soul Beast Forest for a long time to avoid being hunted by the Tiandou Empire. It was during that period that Wen Dong's cooking skills improved. Especially the roasted dog meat, which he cooked was very delicious.
Normally, the corpse of a 3,500-year-old soul beast could be sold for more than 800 gold soul coins. However, Leo was the only one who contributed, so when the money was finally divided, he would get 90%.
Since he said so, Wendong and the other three would not quarrel with Leo for just a few dozen gold soul coins. Besides, eating soul beast meat would also help their cultivation.
Wen Dong pulled out a machete from behind his back, and with a swipe of his hand, he chopped off the head of the Wind Fierce Demon Dog. The head of a rare soul beast like the Wind Fierce Demon Dog is loved by many collectors, and can be sold for a lot of money if you meet the right seller.
When Wen Dong was about to cut open the Wind Demon Dog's skin, the machete suddenly hit something hard, and a gap appeared on the blade!
"Soul bone!"
Leo and others quickly gathered around. Wen Dong pushed aside the flesh and a soul bone emitting white light slowly floated down in front of them.
"There actually is a soul bone. What luck I have." Qi Tian's mouth twitched slightly.
Even if he didn't choose to absorb the 3,500-year-old soul bone, he could easily sell it for hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins at the auction. But the soul bone happened to appear at this time.
You know, the most likely thing to cause conflict between the soul hunting team and the employer is the soul bone!
Qi Tian quickly stated, "I will not participate in the competition for the soul bone. According to the previous agreement, the soul bone is yours."
Even though he wanted it very much, what was the point if he had the life to get it but not the life to spend it?
Leo and the others did not regard Qi Tian as a competitor at the beginning. Even if his soul ring configuration was against the sky, he only had the strength of a Soul Master and was not to be feared.
At the same time, they were also worried about whether there was really a strong person following Qi Tian. Otherwise, they would have no choice but to hand over the soul bones.
"Damn it!" Leo's face looked extremely ugly.
Wen Dong and the other three were originally bound by interests. They were able to come together because of the same interests. Now they are in competition for soul bones. But he was not at an advantage when he was alone against four defense-type soul masters.
Qi Tian didn't dare to stay any longer and ran away quickly.
Once the news of the soul bone leaked out, a hunting game would definitely be staged in this forest. Knowing the pros and cons, Qi Tian didn't even take a second look at the soul bone.
"Leo, let's give this soul bone to our brothers. When the time comes, we will sell the soul bone, and your share will be indispensable." Wen Dong saw Qi Tian leave, and he no longer had any worries. He held his head high, not taking Leo seriously at all.
Agility attack soul masters are only fast, but their attack power is much weaker than that of strength attack soul masters.
Wen Dong and his four men had the advantage in numbers and did not give Leo any face. Wen Zhong even reached out to grab the soul bone and quickly ran behind him under the cover of Wen Dong and his three men.
Of course, they didn't trust each other absolutely. They came from the same village and got together because of their interests. If Wen Zhong ran away with the soul bone, they would lose a lot.
"Fourth soul skill, hunting time!" Leo attacked instantly.
He had always been reluctant to reveal his soul bone, because it would cause their team to disband quickly. At the same time, it also meant that his trial was over and it was time to return to his family.
In this situation, he could only seize the soul bone first. After returning to the family, he would use the soul bone to buy himself a few more years of carefree life.
Leo's hands turned into bloody claws, and his attack power and speed soared a lot.
Wen Dong and the other two were exhausted from dealing with the situation, and they also intended to shorten the distance with Wen Zhong. In this way, the three of them activated their defensive soul skills, chasing Wen Zhong while also cross-fighting against Leo's attacks.
…
Qi Tian came to the Xingdou Great Forest for the first time. Previously, he followed the system's prompts and Leo's guidance to avoid getting lost. Now, he was alone and had no topographic map of the forest, so he couldn't find the exit at all.
The easiest way is to walk in one direction, but who knows whether there is a territory of a powerful soul beast ahead.
Behind him, the fighting sounds of Leo and others disappeared. Qi Tian was secretly glad in his heart, but he could only rest where he was.
Without knowing the route, running around would only make him lose his way sooner. What he had to do now was to wait until daybreak, find a high point, overlook the entire forest, and then make plans.
Time soon came to late night. At the place where Qi Tian and others had originally set up camp, a group of people quickly rushed here after sensing the fluctuation of soul power.
"Director Feng, we are a step too late. The Wind Fierce Demon Dog has been taken away by someone else." A young man in a green school uniform said.
In the team, the middle-aged man called Director Feng stroked his chin and said, "This should be a team of four to five people, and they are walking in a hurry."
Wen Dong had already prepared the bamboo skewers and the barbecue grill at the beginning. The middle-aged man only found burnt charcoal and no trace of meat on the bamboo skewers.
"Xiaotian, what do you think?" Director Feng looked at the young man wearing a mask beside him.
"I sense a familiar aura. It seems that someone from my family is nearby. Director Feng, look, they have prepared the skewers, but the meat is not on them."
The young man continued, "The body of the Wind Demon Dog was only cut into a small part. I think that a soul bone must have appeared, and the teams of these people either had an internal conflict or were targeted by other teams."
The traces of battle around were obvious, so it was not difficult to guess these.
Director Feng nodded and said, "Xiaotian, should we go after the soul bones, or continue to hunt souls?"
The young man said without hesitation: "Soul Hunter! To be able to kill the 3,500-year-old Wind Demon Dog, these people must be stronger than Soul Sect, and they also have the aura of family disciples. If the soul bone is really obtained, we will know when we return to the family. If not, I think there will be more powerful people who will fight for it."
"Soul bones are not our goal. A 3,500-year-old soul bone is not worth losing our lives."
Director Feng said with satisfaction: "Xiaotian is right. A genius will always be just a genius until he grows up. Only geniuses who survive are qualified to become strong."
"You are all the pride of the Divine Wind Academy. The academy will be proud of you in the Soul Master Competition three years later. Well, you still have a long way to go in life, and you will have the opportunity to encounter soul bones in the future. The purpose of our coming out this time is to obtain a soul ring for Xiaotian, and we will not ask about other matters."
The young man was Feng Xiaotian, the captain of the Kamikaze Academy team.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "The Wind Demon Dog is the most suitable fourth spirit ring for me. Since someone has already got there first, we will rest tonight. The other spirit beast that my father prepared for me is a little far from here. Tomorrow morning, we will move forward at full speed."
