Chapter 52 - Rainbow Deer King!
Chapter 52: Rainbow Deer King!
Wang Che put away the tent and placed the medicine in his bag.
After a while, the green caterpillar suddenly ran back, its body covered in grass.
“Ssss!”
It jumped up and let out two cries.
“What?” Wang Che glanced at it and asked.
The green caterpillar immediately turned around and left, as if it wanted to bring Wang Che somewhere.
He put away his things and followed.
A moment later, Wang Che first smelled a faint scent of blood, then he saw a deer that had fallen to the ground.
“This deer, it’s the one from before…”
Wang Che seemed to have discovered something.
Its front limbs, back, and back were all injured.
Wang Che glanced at it. The injuries were mostly scratches. The more serious ones were probably the bite marks on the back leg.
According to Wang Che’s judgment, this was the bite mark of a large snake soul beast.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Che took out the ointment and applied it to the injured part of the deer to bandage it.
Then, it took the medicinal paste and slowly fed it to the deer.
After about ten minutes, the deer slowly woke up.
“Wu… Wu…”
The deer opened its eyes and immediately struggled to get up. It first glanced at Wang Che and called out twice.
It was probably thanking them.
Then, it staggered in the other direction.
“Ssss!” The green caterpillar followed.
“Wu… Wu… Wu!”
“Ssss! Ssss!”
“…”
Wang Che was speechless.
He didn’t know how these soul pets of different species communicated…
However, what it meant was that the green caterpillar said that he was heavily injured and needed to rest more.
The deer did not stop, probably rejecting the green caterpillar’s suggestion.
The green caterpillar walked back and shouted at Wang Che.
“Alright, let’s go take a look.”
Wang Che pondered for a few seconds and satisfied the little guy’s curiosity.
Exploring in the wilderness meant facing many soul pets. Since he had already encountered them, there was no harm in going to take a look.
The location where the deer walked was quite different from the location where the Floating Forest was on the map.
Wang Che did not mind taking a detour.
Before long, the deer entered a valley where the terrain had sunk.
There were many dark green trees in the valley.
“The soul power aura here is much stronger than outside, but quite a few deer died…”
Wang Che was shocked as he watched. The green caterpillar kept crying out.
Suddenly, a roar suddenly came from ahead.
This sound immediately made Wang Che understand.
It was the Nether Forest Snake.
A large carnivorous soul beast that lived in the forest.
It had a certain level of aggression and was quite fierce.
As a soul pet, if it was under the control of humans, it was much more tame.
“Don’t move!” Wang Che suddenly said.
The green caterpillar immediately stopped moving.
The deer in front was even more agile and hid behind a tree.
Wang Che looked ahead from the corner of his eye and his eyes narrowed.
In the dark forest ahead, a ten-meter-long green python was moving quietly.
There was also a lot of blood in its mouth.
Nether Forest Snake: Grass-type soul pet. Its entire body is covered in tough black grass. Its body has enormous strength that can crush a small truck. This is why it moves very quickly in the forest.
It was a Nether Forest Snake that was at least 300 years old.
“The Nether Forest Snake and the deer are natural enemies… The Nether Forest Snake should be hunting these deer.”
Wang Che frowned slightly as he roughly understood something.
The Nether Forest Snake only had two stages of evolution. It was a rare soul pet and was relatively powerful from birth.
The second stage evolution could reach the level of an extremely rare beast. The Nether Rage Snake King was even stronger!
These deer were at most a hundred years old.
They were all only ordinary soul beasts, so they were naturally not its match.
However, as a group of creatures, the deer naturally had experts who could resist the Nether Forest Snake.
“Ssss!”
The green caterpillar hissed at Wang Che.
It seemed to be saying, ‘Help them.’
Wang Che did not make a move.
Not to mention whether they could win or not, it was best for humans to not interfere in the ecosystem of wild soul beasts.
The Nether Forest Snake was the natural enemy of the deer. Their battle was between soul beasts.
The Federation’s laws clearly stipulated that humans were not allowed to casually interfere with the ecosystem between wild soul beasts.
Once they messed with the ecology, only humans would suffer the consequences.
Wang Che felt that there was a reason for this rule.
However, it felt a little strange…
“Wu!”
The deer looked at the Nether Forest Snake attacking its companions in the forest. It could not help but want to charge out immediately.
At this moment, a deer’s cry suddenly sounded.
“Wu!”
The high-pitched cry of a deer came from the forest.
What followed was a violent light.
Wang Che was a little surprised as he looked at the center of the intense light.
It was a rainbow-colored deer. Its size was already larger than an adult, but its coral-like antlers were not smaller than its size at all. It was extraordinary and looked very handsome.
“It’s the third stage evolution of the deer, the Rainbow Deer King!”
Wang Che praised. It was truly rare to see a soul beast with three stages of evolution in the wilderness.
One had to know that wilderness soul beasts were different from soul pets.
Humans and soul pets had a life contract. As long as their cultivation reached the age limit, evolution was relatively simple.
However, wild soul beasts did not have the power of a life contract. Even if their cultivation base reached the age limit, it was almost very difficult to evolve.
It was undeniable that under the same cultivation level, the soul pets trained by humans were much stronger than the soul beasts in the wilderness.
Therefore, it was definitely very rare to see a Rainbow Deer King that had completed its third stage evolution in the wilderness.
“This is probably the only one among the deer…” Wang Che sighed.
The Rainbow Deer King was an extremely rare soul beast that was close to being peerless.
Soon, after the Rainbow Deer King emerged, many deer in the surroundings immediately began to cry out.
Its body emitted a blinding light.
“It’s a soul skill, Life Resonance!”
Wang Che watched with interest.
Life Resonance was an exclusive soul skill.
Very few human soul pets could comprehend such an exclusive attribute soul skill.
Most of these soul skills were inherited among the soul beasts of the wilderness.
Its use was limited to the race.
It could borrow the strength of its companions and also transmit life force to unleash powerful attribute attacks.
In next to no time, a ball of energy that was dazzling like the sun appeared on the head of the Rainbow Deer King.
Countless particles of energy began to gather and transmit from many of the deer.
The Nether Forest Snake seemed to sense danger.
In the next moment, it let out a fierce cry as its entire body suddenly glowed!
A yellow energy ring rose from its body.
“Hmm? Wait, is that a soul ring?” Wang Che’s expression froze, “No, this Nether Forest Snake isn’t a wild soul beast! It’s a soul pet! A human soul pet! Only human soul pets can condense a soul ring!”
Soul beasts in the wilderness would not condense a soul ring.
This was because soul beasts in the wilderness had much lower intelligence than soul pets. If they wanted to condense a soul ring, they had to have extremely high cultivation and intelligence.
It was obviously impossible for the Nether Forest Snake to live for more than 300 years.
A Nether Forest Snake that had lived for more than 300 years would only form a soul ring under the nurturing of humans to supply the Contract Soul Masters.
“Other Contract Soul Masters used their soul pets to disguise themselves as wild Nether Forest Snakes to attack these deer!”
Wang Che immediately understood.
Just as he thought about it, as its soul ring rose, the Forest Snake’s aura increased sharply.
It spat out a violent poisonous fog.
Figures filled the air, making it difficult to see anything clearly.
At the same time, the ball of light on the top of the Rainbow Deer Horn also fired at the Nether Forest Snake.
However, the attack did not hit… Instead, the Forest Snake in the poisonous fog flew out and coiled around it.
Its huge body was tightly bound by the Nether Forest Snake like a coiling dragon.
It let out a sorrowful cry.
“Such intelligence, it’s indeed not a soul beast in the wilderness!”
Wang Che patted the green caterpillar, “Let’s fight. This Nether Forest Snake is a Contract Soul Master’s soul pet! It’s definitely not a soul beast in the wilderness!”
“Ssss!” The green caterpillar, who had already lost its patience, immediately rushed out!
This child was quite brave.
“Green caterpillar, use Raging Flame Strike!”
