Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul Ah Yin exposes Tang San's true colors.

Considering the safety of Su Yun and the other two students, Teacher Xiong decided to set up camp and rest on the spot.

With the campfire and Teacher Xiong's protection, Su Yun and the other two rested very peacefully that night.

The next day.

At dawn, Su Yun and his group of four walked through the Soul Hunter Forest and headed deeper into it.

Most of the soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest are domesticated, so they are mostly ten-year or hundred-year-old soul beasts, while thousand-year-old soul beasts are extremely rare.

Last night was nighttime, and for safety reasons, Teacher Xiong did not venture any further into the area.

But it's daytime now, and visibility is good.

With his strength as a two-ring Great Soul Master, he is not afraid of any single Soul Beast unless he is attacked by multiple hundred-year-old Soul Beasts.

"Su Yun, are you really going to choose the Lazy Tree as your first spirit ring?"

Teacher Xiong's voice came from the front of the line: "I've heard that the Lazy Tree, a plant-type spirit beast, is not only rare, but also has strong side effects on spirit masters when used as a spirit ring."

"I advise you to hunt a different soul beast, such as the Guzhu. I think that kind of soul beast is quite suitable for your Blue Silver Grass martial soul."

Teacher Xiong was surprised when he learned that the soul beast Su Yun was looking for was actually the Lazy Tree.

As someone who had once formed a group in the Soul Hunter Forest, Teacher Xiong naturally knew what kind of soul beast the Lazy Tree was.

The lazy tree grows extremely slowly.

A century-old lazy tree is only about one meter tall.

That's right, it's only one meter tall.

Furthermore, after a century, for every additional century the Lazy Tree ages, its height will increase by only ten centimeters.

That's really bizarre.

That's why it's called the Lazy Tree.

As a soul beast, the Lazy Tree only has one type of attack ability.

Those are its leaves.

Although the lazy tree grows extremely slowly in height, its leaves regenerate very quickly.

A lazy tree, on average, sheds enough leaves each day to cover an area of ​​two meters in radius.

Over time, due to the terrain and the wind, the area became increasingly dense.

The leaves of the lazy tree can be said to form a complete encirclement, protecting the lazy tree.

Because of its fragrant aroma, the leaves of the Lazy Tree often become food for some spirit beasts.

However, once these soul beasts follow the scent and step onto the leaves of the Lazy Tree, the soul power remaining in the leaves will immediately take effect.

slow down!

That's right, anything that comes into contact with the leaves of the Lazy Tree will immediately slow down by 30% for 3 seconds.

Those whose bodies are slowed down will retain the scent of Lazy Tree leaves for 3 minutes.

If you eat the leaves of the Lazy Tree, the duration of the slowdown will remain the same, but the duration of the aroma will be extended to 10 minutes.

Its body is filled with fragrance, which is like giving other soul beasts a complete map of the forest for them, as some soul beasts are not good at hiding.

一

Once infected, one can only wait to be discovered by their natural enemies.

Because of this method, many weaker spirit beasts dare not approach the Lazy Tree.

Of course, not all spirit beasts dare not approach the Lazy Tree.

Because of the scarcity of Lazy Trees, finding a mature one in a small forest like the Soul Hunter Forest is quite difficult.

Therefore, some powerful spirit beasts, after finding the Lazy Tree, will usually keep it in captivity and use it as their food store.

The reason why Teacher Xiong advised Su Yun not to use the Lazy Tree as his first spirit ring was because he had seen some spirit masters obtain their first spirit ring from the Lazy Tree.

However, the result was not satisfactory.

They not only failed to inherit the advantages of the lazy tree, but also inherited its disadvantages.

For example, the first soul skill could be to make the body smell fragrant, or it could directly slow down the user.

Then there are tree spirits, whose trees do indeed bear leaves, but those leaves must be picked by the spirit master manually.

What was unexpected was that those leaves would actually have an effect on the Soul Master's body.

This only shows that the soul skill granted by the Lazy Tree's soul ring is extremely bizarre, and could even be described as garbage.

Su Yun naturally knew this knowledge.

Ah Yin had already told him about this, and told him not to worry.

As the Blue Silver Emperor, Su Yun believed that with Ah Yin's abilities, manipulating the characteristics of soul ring absorption should be a piece of cake.

Perhaps, thanks to the Blue Silver Emperor's special qualities, it can even help Lazy Tree evolve its skills.

Su Yun and his group searched the forest for a long time, but they still couldn't find Lazy Tree.

This is normal.

The lazy tree is not very tall, and it is already difficult to find in a forest with abundant vegetation.

In addition to its rarity, finding a Lazy Tree is quite difficult unless you can smell its fragrance.

"Hey, it smells nice!" The twin brother suddenly sniffed and exclaimed excitedly.

"Hmm? It does smell like the Lazy Tree." Teacher Xiong also smelled the scent and confirmed it.

Su Yun, who was walking at the back of the group, also smelled the aroma.

Hmm... the smell of malt.

Su Yun couldn't help but think of an ancient advertisement.

"Alright, since you have your own ideas, Su Yun, I won't stop you. Let's go there now."

"However, you should be careful."

"There's probably a powerful soul beast guarding the Lazy Tree right now."

"These kinds of spirit beasts usually treat the Lazy Tree as their own property, so we must walk very quietly and remember not to touch the Lazy Tree's leaves."

The leaves of the lazy tree sometimes drift in the wind, and soul masters walking in the forest may accidentally get them on them, becoming the target of many soul beasts, or even some ill-intentioned soul masters.

While leading the team ahead, Teacher Xiong instructed, "If we encounter a thousand-year-old soul beast later, we should leave immediately."

Su Yun nodded, offering no objection.

Even Tang San only managed to kill the thousand-year-old soul beast by relying on hidden weapons and the Clear Sky Hammer.

Right now, their strongest fighter is only Teacher Xiong.

The three of them, including Su Yun, faced a thousand-year-old soul beast, and their combat power was...

It can be said that there are only five.

It has almost no effect.

Moreover, once they get into a chaotic battle, the slowing effect of the lazy leaves will become a key factor restricting their movement.

Therefore, leaving is the best option.

Following the unique fragrance of the lazy tree, Su Yun and his group, led by Teacher Xiong, traversed several thickets of forest.

Along the way, they also saw the leaves of the lazy tree.

With Teacher Xiong's reminder, Su Yun naturally took in the appearance of the Lazy Tree's leaves.

The bright green leaves don't look very big, about half the size of a baby's palm.

Thin, emerald leaves fluttered in the wind, sunlight streaming down and revealing their jade-like texture.

"No wonder the soul beasts love to eat it; its appearance alone deserves a five-star rating." Su Yun silently gave it a thumbs up in his heart.

"We've arrived!" Teacher Xiong's voice suddenly rang out.

However, he lowered his voice slightly to avoid disturbing the spirit beasts guarding the lazy tree.

Su Yun and the other two quickly followed and arrived at Teacher Xiong's side.

Looking in the direction Teacher Xiong was pointing, about fifty meters away from them, there was a tree with a body as green as jade, quietly rooted in the ground.

Judging from visual observation alone, the height is estimated to be around 1.3 meters.

"Around four hundred years?" Su Yun murmured.

The spirit rings from this year are just right for him now.

In Su Yun's opinion, given Tang San's childhood practice of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and his physical attributes, absorbing a hundred-year soul ring of more than five hundred years should not be difficult.

If he had started cultivating earlier, perhaps the soul beast soul rings he could have hunted today would have been of a higher age.

After all, the higher the age of the spirit ring, the greater the strength of the spirit skill it brings.

"I can only hope that my physical attributes will improve significantly when I absorb my second spirit ring."

Su Yun silently reminded himself while looking around at the lazy tree.
