Chapter 9 The Soul Vessel
Small balls of fluorescent light float in the darkness.
The light it emits does not light up the darkness, as if it is an illusory thing that does not exist.
At this time, I was slightly trembled by the tiger wing pendant that was always on my chest.
This firefly floating in the darkness seemed to have found its home. It was attracted by the pendant and was eventually swallowed!
Zhang Chenran was stunned and seemed to think of something in his mind. He took out the tiger wing pendant hanging on his chest:
"This thing is actually a vessel for dead souls!"
In order to investigate what this tiger pendant was, he looked through many things about the mage's personal belongings.
The most common pendants like this are magic weapons, magic tools and other items.
At first, Zhang Chenran thought that this tiger wing pendant was also a magic weapon or magical tool.
But when he still couldn't use the pendant after awakening his magic, he denied this speculation.
In addition to speculations such as magic weapons and magic tools, there are also similar mage items and soul vessels!
Zhang Chenran once read information about the soul vessels in an ancient book.
The only function of the soul vessel is to store souls.
Not only human souls, but also demon souls can be killed and stored.
The soul of the demon is also called the essence and the remaining soul!
The essence is the complete soul dropped by the demon, while the residual soul is the incomplete soul.
A single slave-level soul can be sold for millions of dollars.
Because essence is the key item for making cultivation utensils, the higher the quality of the essence, the more perfect the cultivation utensils will be!
Normal people and even magicians cannot see the spirit with their naked eyes.
Only necromancers or those who wear soul vessels can see these souls.
If the demon does not store the remaining soul when it dies, the remaining soul will dissipate between heaven and earth.
It was also for this reason that Zhang Chenran concluded that this tiger wing pendant was a vessel for dead souls.
"The light is dim, so it shouldn't be a spirit." Zhang Chenran recalled the soul of the one-eyed demon wolf just now and guessed.
Too much time had been wasted, Zhang Chenran did not dare to stay any longer, grabbed the sack containing the wolf kiss fruit on the ground and shuttled out of the cave.
………
Somewhere outside the forest.
The members of the Free Hunter Team had just reunited, and everyone who had not seen Zhang Chenran was very anxious.
"We've been dragging it for so long. The boy hasn't come back yet. Is there any accident?" The bald man Wang Yi couldn't help but say.
"I've long seen that guy is unreliable and can't even complete such a simple task." Ni Ying snorted coldly.
Team captains Kou Xiuyong and Chu Zhen also remained silent.
They have already led the one-eyed demon wolf into the trap, and it will take at least a few minutes for the one-eyed demon wolf to escape from the trap.
A shadow mage might not even need two minutes if he wants to pick a few fruits.
But several minutes have passed, and Zhang Chenran still hasn't appeared, which makes them worried.
Just when everyone is sad.
A black shadow emerged from the shadows, and Zhang Chenran's figure slowly emerged.
"Cheng Ran!" Chu Zhen looked surprised when she saw the visitor.
"Are you okay?" Kou Xiuyong asked hurriedly.
"There was an accident, and all the wolf-kissed fruits in the cave were picked." Zhang Chenran handed over the sack in his hand.
I wasted time hunting the one-eyed demon wolf in the cave just now, and I almost ran into a large group of one-eyed demon wolves when I left the cave.
Even though he has the ability to hunt one-eyed demon wolves, Zhang Chenran is not crazy enough to dare to hunt more than ten one-eyed demon wolves alone.
They had no choice but to avoid the one-eyed demon wolf, which made the Free Hunter team wait a little longer.
"It's okay." Kou Xiuyong smiled.
"In this case, we have to move to the next target location quickly." Chu Zhen reminded.
Wolf Kiss Fruit grows in the lairs of the One-Eyed Demonic Wolf, but the output of each lair will not be too much.
The habitats of the one-eyed demon wolf in Nanling are too numerous to count.
After the wolf kiss fruits in the Demon Wolf Lair here are picked, they will be replaced by the next Demon Wolf Lair.
Otherwise, the number of wolf-kissed fruits is not up to standard and the number required by the commission cannot be completed...
………
It was almost evening when we arrived at the next preset location.
It was already dark when the tent was set up.
Around the campfire, everyone was chatting and laughing while eating the freshly cooked food.
"Speaking of Cheng Ran, you have just been a mage hunter for a short time, why not join our team of free hunters? With your joining, our team's efficiency in completing commissions will definitely skyrocket in the future!" Kou Xiuyong said suddenly.
When we talked about this topic, the atmosphere instantly became quiet, as everyone seemed to be waiting for Zhang Chenran’s answer.
I still want to go to school... Zhang Chenran remained silent under the gaze of everyone, and then slowly said after a few seconds:
"I'll think about it."
Hearing this, the Free Hunter team sighed inwardly.
Everyone could tell that he was politely rejecting the captain's invitation.
Zhang Chenran thought about this question when he was hunting the one-eyed demon wolf. Should he leave the magic school and become a hunter as soon as possible to integrate into this cruel world?
Outside the Anjie is the territory of demons. No one can predict what will happen. It is a huge gamble risking one's life.
However, the resources available are not comparable to those in magic schools.
If you look at it this way, it’s not unacceptable.
But he quickly rejected this naive idea.
Even in Magic High School, you can only learn elemental magic, which is not comprehensive.
Perhaps, you can truly enter the path of magic after graduating from magic high school.
And the real magic doesn’t stop there!
If you want to understand magic and become stronger, a better way is to enter a magic school in a big city.
"If you want to hunt down a one-eyed demon wolf, how long will it take?" Zhang Chenran asked the question that he has always been curious about.
"A few minutes. This thing has thick skin and flesh. It's basically impossible to kill it without a few bursts of fire." Kou Xiuyong replied.
Zhang Chenran was stunned and continued to ask:
"The one-eyed demon wolf is so fast, even fire magic may not be able to hit it 100% of the time, right?"
"So we all work as a team. Even if I, a primary level three fire mage, face the one-eyed demon wolf, I will only be tortured and killed." Kou Xiuyong explained with a smile.
Then I will no longer be against heaven... Zhang Chenran’s pupils were full of shock and disbelief.
Judging from what Kou Xiuyong said, even an entry-level third-level mage cannot face the one-eyed demon wolf alone.
The third-level entry-level mages are the strongest among the entry-level mages. Even such mages cannot hunt the one-eyed demon wolf alone.
And a shadow mage who had practiced for half a year killed the one-eyed demon wolf alone?
Zhang Chenran was both happy and incredible about what he got today. After thinking about it, he was even a little scared...
"You look surprised?" Kou Xiuyong asked doubtfully.
"It's nothing, I just feel that the demon is a bit too scary..."
"Hahaha, it's normal for someone like you who doesn't often deal with monsters to think so, but you won't think so if you see Commander Zhan Air Force take action against monsters."
