Chapter 77 Target Soul Beast
With the camp accommodation problem solved, He Caitou went to work with Beibei and Tang Ya to continue setting up soul-guided cameras and soul-guided traps around the camp, in short, to improve the detection and warning system of the entire temporary camp.
Long You wasn't idle either; he put the prepared boxed lunches on the soul-guided induction cooker to heat them up. After placing the lunches on the cooker, he looked out the window and saw Zhang Lexuan staring blankly at the entire camp.
He immediately went out and said, "Senior Zhang, can you do me a favor? Our camp is all metallic gray, which looks quite imposing, but it clashes with the surrounding environment. We need to disguise it."
I have some food heating up inside, could you help me out, senior? It's not much trouble, just neatly covering this little room with these camouflage sheets."
Seeing Long You smiling as he pulled out a large stack of disguise cloths from his storage soul tool, Zhang Lexuan was clearly taken aback.
As the senior sister of Shrek Academy's inner court and already a high-level Soul Master at the Soul Saint level, Zhang Lexuan had been to the Star Dou Great Forest many times. She had even brought her junior brothers and sisters to the Star Dou Great Forest before.
Zhang Lexuan should have been intimately familiar with the rules that should be followed when traversing this Star Dou Great Forest. However, this time, from the very beginning until now, the actions of Long You, the core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department, have been constantly challenging Zhang Lexuan's worldview.
The soul-guided powered armor was nothing special, but the tactical soul-guided helmet, and the combination of the tactical soul-guided goggles and the detection soul-guided device, surprisingly made Zhang Lexuan realize the limitations of relying solely on her martial soul. Now, looking at the comfortable campsite that had taken shape in just over ten minutes (compared to ordinary camping tents), Zhang Lexuan felt somewhat bewildered.
Reaching for the stack of camouflage cloths, Zhang Lexuan directly voiced her confusion: "Has the Soul Guidance Department developed to this extent already?"
"what?"
Zhang Lexuan's question seemed completely nonsensical, and Long You was genuinely confused as to what this senior sister from the inner court was asking.
"The Martial Soul system has never had this kind of combat and movement method before. Even high-level Soul Masters are cautious in the Star Dou Great Forest. They have to rest and recover their energy every few hours. Their movement speed and safety are far inferior to your group of low-level Soul Masters consisting of four Soul Venerables."
Students from the Martial Soul Department have never been able to stay in such comfortable housing so quickly when they go to the wilderness. Resting in the wilderness is just a chance to catch their breath, and everyone loses two pounds when they return to the academy.
When did soul tools begin to have such a profound impact on field warfare? When did students of the soul guidance system become able to live so calmly in the wild?
"Senior Sister, to be honest, I really don't understand why the Martial Soul Department of the academy is so hostile to Soul Tools from top to bottom. Only bad students need Soul Tools; elite Soul Masters absolutely do not need them in battle."
I don't understand why, since soul tools can make everything from our daily lives to our battles more convenient and efficient.
Judging from the questions you've asked, Senior Sister, it seems that the Martial Soul Department of the academy hasn't had any in-depth exchanges with the Soul Guidance Department for quite some time.
Although the year with the most rapid changes in the Soul Guidance Department was this past academic year, the department has actually been changing and developing ever since I enrolled.
The teachers in the Soul Guidance Department are very willing to let their students put forward their own ideas and try them out, even if those ideas seem impossible at first.
I once told my teacher, Fan Yu, "In my understanding, a soul tool is a tool that turns the impossible into the possible." My teacher strongly agreed with this statement, and the new version of the tactical soul tool helmet we are using today was developed based on this concept.
I don't know if you noticed, Senior Sister, but the real-time image feedback function of the soul guidance device we are using today is actually not a function of the tactical soul guidance helmet, but a function of the tactical soul guidance eyepiece.
This helmet is far more amazing than you can imagine, Senior Sister. If you would like to see the latest achievements of the Soul Guidance Department, I sincerely suggest that you visit the Soul Guidance Department's teaching building after you return to the academy from this mission.
At that time, this tactical soul-guided helmet will be truly activated and bound to you. In two months at most, you should be able to witness an unprecedented grand event through this helmet.
"I can't change the attitude of the Martial Soul Department of the academy, but personally, I look forward to the grand event you mentioned. How much does this helmet cost?"
"I don't know. I made the tactical soul guide goggles inside this helmet, but the main body of the helmet was made by Teacher Fan Yu, an eighth-level soul master. However, I estimate that if you, Senior Sister, appreciate this work, Teacher Fan Yu won't ask for money."
"I am looking forward."
A conversation that started suddenly ended just like that.
The steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce, steamed pork with rice flour, and mashed potatoes on the induction cooker were all heated up. The rice that had been sealed beforehand was also reheated. Finally, a cold cucumber salad was prepared and served, and the whole lunch preparation process was complete.
He Caitou, Beibei, and Tang Ya, who had gone out to set up the soul-guided detectors, soul-guided cameras, and soul-guided traps, returned. Zhang Lexuan, who had been helping to install the camouflage cloth outside, had also just finished her own work.
No need to say anything, let's eat.
Because the entire wall is a soul-guided display screen, any movement within a three-kilometer radius can be displayed on this wall, so no one has been assigned to be on duty for the time being.
After finishing the meal, there was no rush to wash the dishes. Long You began to clarify the first goal of this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Everyone probably knows the general goal. The reason we came straight to this place is because it is rich in fire-type soul beasts, which happens to be the ones that my senior brother Cai Tou and I are looking for this time."
Let me start by talking about myself. Everyone knows the situation with my spirit. This time, I've set my sights on the Fire Resistance Ring and Flame Meteor, two fire-type spirit skills, so I need to choose a fire-type spirit beast to absorb the spirit ring.
I'm not picky. Any kind of soul beast, whether it's over 7,000 years old or under 8,000 years old, is fine. I'll take whatever I can get my hands on.
As for Senior Brother Cai Tou's situation, his first three soul skills—spirit enhancement, strength amplification, and defense amplification—are all quite good. However, when soul masters engage in combat, the rate at which their soul power is consumed is frightening.
As a qualified Soul Master, one must collect as many means as possible to prolong one's combat time. Therefore, Senior Brother Cai Tou's fourth Soul Skill needs to be a Soul Skill that amplifies Soul Power.
Many spirit beasts can unleash their full power, but given our situation, the easiest one to capture is the Boiling Fish spirit beast, which lives in the lava lake.
