"No, how could that be possible?"
A touch of disbelief flashed in Tang San's eyes, his expression even appearing somewhat shocked.
So-called Spirit Beast attributes, including Spirits, generally refer to its main attribute, its strongest point, unless otherwise specified.
However, in reality, the more powerful a creature is, the more comprehensive its abilities are.
In addition to the main attribute, there are often secondary attributes, pseudo-attributes, weak attributes, and hidden attributes, and so on.
Here's a simple example.
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger possesses six top attributes: Wind, Lightning, Time, Space, Evil, and power.
But this still doesn't mean that it is weak or flawed in other aspects.
Its limbs and wings can unleash speed, its fur has defensive properties, it can freely control so many abilities, its spirit is definitely not weak, and besides, Light has not completely disappeared, it has only been suppressed.
It's just that these things are not prominent enough in strength and not eye-catching enough in performance compared to the main attributes.
But you can't say it doesn't have them at all because of this.
The Spirit Beast population is very large, with all sorts of strange bloodlines and species that outside Spirit Masters have never heard of.
power isn't rare, so how could we not find one?
Yu Xiaogang was also a little dazed.
He had never considered this question before, and now that his disciple asked him, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
But Yu Da Shi was not just anyone; his innate ability was to deceive, and he couldn't let any problem stump him.
He immediately patted Tang San on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"Little San, I know you are dissatisfied because of losing the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, and even starting to regret absorbing that dark attribute tiger.
But Teacher wants to tell you that the dark attribute is not ordinary.
Your Clear Sky Hammer's first spirit ring is also not ordinary at all.
I said before that Evil is too overbearing to appear in human Spirits, and even Spirit Beasts that possess it are pitifully few; each one is an incredibly rare god-level bloodline.
In fact, darkness, as a major branch of Evil, is not far behind; the Spirits that possess it can be counted on one hand.
Isn't it normal for such a powerful ability to be unable to coexist with other ordinary attributes?"
"The darkness attribute is actually so powerful?"
"Of course, your knowledge is not bad now, but have you heard of anyone whose Spirit is of the darkness attribute?
As far as I know, only Ghost Douluo of Spirit Hall possesses incomplete darkness power, and he has smoothly Cultivation to level ninety-five, and is Bibi Dong's most trusted and relied-upon right-hand man."
Tang San stared blankly at Yu Xiaogang.
But he couldn't see even a trace of dodging, hesitation, or lack of confidence on that face.
Even though he knew this guy was a liar who wouldn't pay for killing people, and he had many previous convictions, he still subconsciously chose to believe him.
After all, the performance of the Number Nine clone was indeed exceptionally strong, and there were no obvious loopholes in these words.
But the problem is, without a power and darkness dual-attribute Spirit Beast, what should he do with his remaining two spirit rings?
If he switches to power, then the first spirit ring would be wasted.
But if he continues to add darkness, the main attribute of the Clear Sky Hammer is power; is he going to watch himself walk the old path of the Blue Silver Emperor?
San Zi's heart was incomparably struggling, but no matter how tangled he was, hunting Spirit Beasts had to continue, because Time waits for no one.
Then,
Another ten days passed without any harvest, and only at noon on the third day did they encounter a top-tier Spirit Beast of fifteen thousand years, the Dark Magic Lizard.
Its quality wasn't too outstanding, and its age hadn't reached the Ultimate.
After Bing Qing Yu Jie's careful consideration, she resolutely gave up.
Choosing between darkness and power, he actually leaned towards power; if it were a power-type top-tier Spirit Beast of fifteen thousand years, he might have chosen to absorb it.
However, Nangong Lingyun didn't indulge him, and in the next seven days, the group didn't even find another target of the Dark Magic Lizard level.
Of the few suitable attributes, either the quality was only high-grade, or the age hadn't reached fifteen thousand years.
At the end of the search that day, Tang Hao frowned tightly.
With a gloomy face, he asked:
"Do you guys feel like something is wrong?
Is the proportion of powerful Spirit Beasts in this area too low?
Especially those related to the darkness and power attributes, they are even pitifully few.
Apart from that Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, they haven't encountered a suitable one for fifteen consecutive days.
This is very unusual; the Star Dou Great Forest is known as the cradle of Spirit Beasts, and there must be some other factors behind it causing trouble."
Nangong Lingyun thought his actions would be noticed,
As a result, as soon as Hao Zi said this, Yu Da Shi's face was full of disdain, and he let out a cold snort from his nostrils.
"Does Haotian Mianxia think that someone has slaughtered all the powerful Spirit Beasts nearby before us?"
"That doesn't seem very likely, does it?"
Tang San hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over; Gang Zi had been an aerial acrobat for half a month, so it was normal to have grievances,
But the spirit ring hadn't been added yet, and he didn't want his own strategist and thug to have internal strife first.
Hao Zi also felt that his guess was a bit absurd.
In fifteen days, the range that the three of them had searched was not small, let alone that it was difficult to do,
Even if someone could really be crazy enough to this extent, it would probably immediately attract the powerful existences in the depths of the forest.
He immediately said in a bad mood:
"Then what do you say is the reason?"
Yu Xiaogang proudly raised his chin, with his hands behind his back.
"It's because of that Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger,
As a top predator, it is extremely difficult for such existences to grow by Cultivation alone; after reaching ten thousand years, it is almost impossible.
They must Devour other Spirit Beasts or human Spirit Masters to quickly improve their strength.
I estimate that the top Spirit Beasts nearby have either been Devoured by that hateful black tiger, or have fled to other places.
The power and darkness attributes are even more so, and will definitely receive special attention from the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
It is even more terrifying than what is recorded in Spirit Hall's confidential data, with the five major attributes of Wind, Lightning, power, Evil, and Space,
I'm afraid that even ordinary hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts would find it difficult to be its opponent."
At the entrance of the tent,
Tang San suddenly realized, feeling that his Teacher still had some tricks up his sleeve.
The doubt and anger on Tang Hao's face instantly froze, and he couldn't say another word.
Compared to someone frantically slaughtering Spirit Beasts, being Devoured and driven away by the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger was obviously more reasonable.
Twenty kilometers away, Nangong Lingyun also quietly gave a thumbs up.
As expected of Da Shi, his ability to deceive is still online.
This wave, he really managed to pull it off, 666.
After an awkward atmosphere lasting for several minutes, Hao Zi changed the subject and said:
"The Spirit Beasts of the power and darkness attributes have all been ruined by that beast, so what should we do now?"
"Why don't we go out first, detour to the Star Luo Empire, and then re-enter the forest from there to search?"
Before Yu Xiaogang could finish his suggestion, Tang San hurriedly refused:
"No, let's go back and find that Dark Magic Lizard again; the quality of a top-tier Spirit Beast is already quite good, and the age difference isn't that far anyway."
The Flying Immortal Assessment has been released for a full two months, and going to the Star Luo Empire means that they must bypass most of the outermost part of the Star Dou Great Forest, which would be another month.
After that, there is still the Clear Sky Hammer's third spirit ring, and two fourth spirit rings after breaking through Spirit Ancestor, he doesn't have much Time to waste.
