nWang Che put away the tent and placed the medicine in his bag.

nAfter a while, the green caterpillar suddenly ran back, its body covered in grass.

n

n

n“Ssss!”

nIt jumped up and let out two cries.

n“What?” Wang Che glanced at it and asked.

nThe green caterpillar immediately turned around and left, as if it wanted to bring Wang Che somewhere.

n

n

nHe put away his things and followed.

nA moment later, Wang Che first smelled a faint scent of blood, then he saw a deer that had fallen to the ground.

n“This deer, it’s the one from before…”

nWang Che seemed to have discovered something.

n

n

nIts front limbs, back, and back were all injured.

nWang Che glanced at it. The injuries were mostly scratches. The more serious ones were probably the bite marks on the back leg.

nAccording to Wang Che’s judgment, this was the bite mark of a large snake soul beast.

nAfter pondering for a moment, Wang Che took out the ointment and applied it to the injured part of the deer to bandage it.

nThen, it took the medicinal paste and slowly fed it to the deer.

nAfter about ten minutes, the deer slowly woke up.

n

n

n“Wu… Wu…”

nThe deer opened its eyes and immediately struggled to get up. It first glanced at Wang Che and called out twice.

nIt was probably thanking them.

nThen, it staggered in the other direction.

n“Ssss!” The green caterpillar followed.

n“Wu… Wu… Wu!”

n“Ssss! Ssss!”

n“…”

n

n

nWang Che was speechless.

nHe didn’t know how these soul pets of different species communicated…

nHowever, what it meant was that the green caterpillar said that he was heavily injured and needed to rest more.

nThe deer did not stop, probably rejecting the green caterpillar’s suggestion.

nThe green caterpillar walked back and shouted at Wang Che.

n“Alright, let’s go take a look.”

nWang Che pondered for a few seconds and satisfied the little guy’s curiosity.

nExploring in the wilderness meant facing many soul pets. Since he had already encountered them, there was no harm in going to take a look.

nThe location where the deer walked was quite different from the location where the Floating Forest was on the map.

nWang Che did not mind taking a detour.

nBefore long, the deer entered a valley where the terrain had sunk.

nThere were many dark green trees in the valley.

n“The soul power aura here is much stronger than outside, but quite a few deer died…”

n

n

nWang Che was shocked as he watched. The green caterpillar kept crying out.

nSuddenly, a roar suddenly came from ahead.

nThis sound immediately made Wang Che understand.

nIt was the Nether Forest Snake.

nA large carnivorous soul beast that lived in the forest.

nIt had a certain level of aggression and was quite fierce.

nAs a soul pet, if it was under the control of humans, it was much more tame.

n“Don’t move!” Wang Che suddenly said.

nThe green caterpillar immediately stopped moving.

nThe deer in front was even more agile and hid behind a tree.

nWang Che looked ahead from the corner of his eye and his eyes narrowed.

nIn the dark forest ahead, a ten-meter-long green python was moving quietly.

nThere was also a lot of blood in its mouth.

nNether 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.

nIt was a Nether Forest Snake that was at least 300 years old.

n“The Nether Forest Snake and the deer are natural enemies… The Nether Forest Snake should be hunting these deer.”

nWang Che frowned slightly as he roughly understood something.

nThe Nether Forest Snake only had two stages of evolution. It was a rare soul pet and was relatively powerful from birth.

nThe second stage evolution could reach the level of an extremely rare beast. The Nether Rage Snake King was even stronger!

nThese deer were at most a hundred years old.

nThey were all only ordinary soul beasts, so they were naturally not its match.

nHowever, as a group of creatures, the deer naturally had experts who could resist the Nether Forest Snake.

n“Ssss!”

nThe green caterpillar hissed at Wang Che.

nIt seemed to be saying, ‘Help them.’

nWang Che did not make a move.

nNot to mention whether they could win or not, it was best for humans to not interfere in the ecosystem of wild soul beasts.

nThe Nether Forest Snake was the natural enemy of the deer. Their battle was between soul beasts.

nThe Federation’s laws clearly stipulated that humans were not allowed to casually interfere with the ecosystem between wild soul beasts.

nOnce they messed with the ecology, only humans would suffer the consequences.

nWang Che felt that there was a reason for this rule.

nHowever, it felt a little strange…

n“Wu!”

nThe deer looked at the Nether Forest Snake attacking its companions in the forest. It could not help but want to charge out immediately.

nAt this moment, a deer’s cry suddenly sounded.

n“Wu!”

nThe high-pitched cry of a deer came from the forest.

nWhat followed was a violent light.

nWang Che was a little surprised as he looked at the center of the intense light.

nIt 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.

n“It’s the third stage evolution of the deer, the Rainbow Deer King!”

nWang Che praised. It was truly rare to see a soul beast with three stages of evolution in the wilderness.

nOne had to know that wilderness soul beasts were different from soul pets.

nHumans and soul pets had a life contract. As long as their cultivation reached the age limit, evolution was relatively simple.

nHowever, 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.

nIt was undeniable that under the same cultivation level, the soul pets trained by humans were much stronger than the soul beasts in the wilderness.

nTherefore, it was definitely very rare to see a Rainbow Deer King that had completed its third stage evolution in the wilderness.

n“This is probably the only one among the deer…” Wang Che sighed.

nThe Rainbow Deer King was an extremely rare soul beast that was close to being peerless.

nSoon, after the Rainbow Deer King emerged, many deer in the surroundings immediately began to cry out.

nIts body emitted a blinding light.

n“It’s a soul skill, Life Resonance!”

nWang Che watched with interest.

nLife Resonance was an exclusive soul skill.

nVery few human soul pets could comprehend such an exclusive attribute soul skill.

nMost of these soul skills were inherited among the soul beasts of the wilderness.

nIts use was limited to the race.

nIt could borrow the strength of its companions and also transmit life force to unleash powerful attribute attacks.

nIn next to no time, a ball of energy that was dazzling like the sun appeared on the head of the Rainbow Deer King.

nCountless particles of energy began to gather and transmit from many of the deer.

nThe Nether Forest Snake seemed to sense danger.

nIn the next moment, it let out a fierce cry as its entire body suddenly glowed!

nA yellow energy ring rose from its body.

n“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!”

nSoul beasts in the wilderness would not condense a soul ring.

nThis 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.

nIt was obviously impossible for the Nether Forest Snake to live for more than 300 years.

nA 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.

n“Other Contract Soul Masters used their soul pets to disguise themselves as wild Nether Forest Snakes to attack these deer!”

nWang Che immediately understood.

nJust as he thought about it, as its soul ring rose, the Forest Snake’s aura increased sharply.

nIt spat out a violent poisonous fog.

nFigures filled the air, making it difficult to see anything clearly.

nAt the same time, the ball of light on the top of the Rainbow Deer Horn also fired at the Nether Forest Snake.

nHowever, the attack did not hit… Instead, the Forest Snake in the poisonous fog flew out and coiled around it.

nIts huge body was tightly bound by the Nether Forest Snake like a coiling dragon.

nIt let out a sorrowful cry.

n“Such intelligence, it’s indeed not a soul beast in the wilderness!”

nWang 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!”

n“Ssss!” The green caterpillar, who had already lost its patience, immediately rushed out!

nThis child was quite brave.

n“Green caterpillar, use Raging Flame Strike!”

n
