Having settled Ning Rongrong's Fourth Spirit Ring, the team only had Ye Yinzhu's Spirit Ring left to find.
The reason for putting his Spirit Ring search last was simply because spiritual-type Soul Beasts were too rare.
Sure enough, after Ning Rongrong obtained her Spirit Ring, the group searched together for nearly two days without encountering a spiritual-type Soul Beast suitable for Ye Yinzhu to absorb.
At night, the little ones sat around the campfire, feeling a bit discouraged.
"Why don't we let big brother help us? At this rate, who knows when we'll find one!"
Ning Rongrong pouted and complained, poking the campfire with a branch from time to time, venting her frustration. She just wanted to return to the Sect and take a good bath.
However, her words were immediately met with opposition from all the little friends except for Xiao Wu.
"No, this is Second Young Master's test for us. If we can't overcome even this difficulty, how can we be worthy of his cultivation?"
"That's right, let's keep looking."
Ning Rongrong curled her lips and didn't refute the others' opinions. She was just grumbling.
Just as the group was planning their watch schedule, a long, drawn-out cry rang out in the distance.
The sound seemed to have a magical quality, causing everyone's hearts to flutter and briefly lose focus.
"What's that sound?"
The others all turned their attention to Ye Yinzhu, who had the broadest knowledge.
But he shook his head. Ye Yinzhu hadn't left the Sect many times either, and he couldn't identify the type of Soul Beast based on sound alone.
Xiao Wu, seeing this, suggested eagerly:
"Why don't we go take a look?"
Her suggestion was quickly approved by the others. The sound clearly had a spiritual impact on people, so it might be suitable for Ye Yinzhu.
The group slowly moved towards the direction of the sound. Before long, several more cries entered their ears. This time, everyone understood that it was the sound of a bird-type Soul Beast.
The sound had a warning tone, captivating and magnifying the fear and vigilance in everyone's hearts. As they got closer, this effect became more and more obvious.
After quite a while, the group finally arrived at the direction of the sound.
They saw a bird-type Soul Beast on top of a towering tree in the distance, constantly emitting warning cries towards a Soul Beast below.
Ye Yinzhu recognized the two Soul Beasts and exclaimed in surprise.
"It's a Clawed Long-tailed Bear, and the one on the tree is an Owl Night Hawk. It just so happens to be a spiritual-type Soul Beast."
"Why is it warning that raccoon? If it can't beat it, it can fly away, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Yinzhu in confusion, asking about the strange confrontation between the two beasts.
Ye Yinzhu listened and patiently explained.
"That Owl Night Hawk is probably in a state of just having given birth, and the Clawed Long-tailed Bear specializes in eating the eggs of bird-type Soul Beasts."
Everyone then understood the reason. It wasn't that the Owl Night Hawk didn't want to fly away, but that it couldn't fly away in order to protect its eggs.
"Miss Zhu Zhuqing, could you please help me see how many triangular patterns are on the Owl Night Hawk's abdomen?"
"Markings?"
Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback, not understanding why he wanted her to do this.
"The Owl Night Hawk is a very rare spirit-type Soul Beast. Its voice can amplify the fear in its prey's heart, thereby causing the prey to lose its ability to act, which is very suitable for my zither music."
"And starting from ten thousand years, the Owl Night Hawk will grow an inverted triangular marking on its abdomen, and another inverted triangular marking will appear every ten thousand years thereafter."
"I see!"
With Ye Yinzhu's explanation, Zhu Zhuqing nodded understandingly and stopped talking nonsense.
Releasing her Netherworld Cat Spirit, she quietly sneaked onto another giant tree to observe.
The spirit cat's movements were already light, and Zhu Zhuqing did not attract the attention of the two Soul Beasts opposite.
A few seconds later, the Little Cat returned to the team.
"It has exactly one inverted triangular marking on its abdomen, and there is no sign of a second one emerging."
"Great, this is a newly ten-thousand-year-old Owl Night Hawk, perfect for me."
Ye Yinzhu excitedly clenched his fists. He had had enough of the wild life and wanted to end this Soul Hunting trip as soon as he obtained this Spirit Ring.
However, Ning Rongrong stared blankly at the Owl Night Hawk on the opposite tree and asked the question in her heart.
"But it's on the tree, if we launch an attack, it will definitely run away, right?"
"This..."
Ye Yinzhu had only considered the compatibility of the Spirit Ring and had not yet planned how to implement the Soul Hunting operation, and was silent for a moment.
"Yinzhu, Nian Bing, can you trap it for a while?"
A'Dai thought for a while and looked at his companions.
"Hmm? You want to..."
"That's right, you trap it, and I'll sneak over and directly release my Fourth Spirit Skill to drill into its body, absorb the Soul Power from its body, and then directly attack the Owl Night Hawk's wings."
Everyone's eyes lit up, this was indeed a good idea.
"Then you have to be quick, my Morning Dew Blade may not be able to trap it for too long."
"Don't worry, I'll take the Wind Walker Pill that Second Young Master gave me before acting."
As he spoke, he took out a Jade Bottle from his Soul Tool.
"Okay, I'll add speed to you too."
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong also planned to release her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Xiao Wu quickly grabbed her little sister, gesturing exaggeratedly with her hands.
"Your little pagoda is so bright, the Soul Beast on the opposite side will definitely find us when you take it out."
"Eh!"
Ning Rongrong stared blankly at the dark night sky above her head, thinking that her Spirit was indeed a bit conspicuous.
"No need, Miss, the Wind Walker Pill is enough."
"Alright, that's all we can do."
Ning Rongrong nodded listlessly, never imagining that the number one support in the world would have her hands and feet tied by the darkness. How hateful.
Now that the battle plan was set, the others began their actions.
A'Dai, having taken the Wind Walker Pill, used his Third Spirit Skill to burrow into the ground, moving towards the tree where the Owl Night Hawk was.
Long Nianbing gathered the Morning Dew Blade in his hand, waiting for A'Dai to get into position before releasing it.
Seeing that A'Dai had silently reached the base of the tree, Long Nianbing no longer hesitated.
"Morning Dew Blade: Ice and Snow Sigh."
A blade formation formed from ice was released, and before long, it trapped the unsuspecting Owl Night Hawk inside.
The Owl Night Hawk, seeing this, let out a piercing cry, and its wings began to flap frantically.
"Not good, cover your ears!"
Ye Yinzhu, seeing this, quickly summoned the Ancient Zither, the first Spirit Ring shining, and began to soothe the fear rising in everyone's hearts.
A'Dai, seeing this from under the tree, immediately began to advance towards the branch where the Owl Night Hawk was.
The Clawed Long-tailed Bear, seeing the situation in front of it, quickly tucked its tail and fled into the distance. A few eggs were not worth it!
Just as the Owl Night Hawk was about to break free from the Morning Dew Blade formation, A'Dai's figure reached the front.
"Fourth Spirit Skill, Rift Shadow."
A'Dai's body disappeared before everyone's eyes, and a huge scythe rose above the prey's head.
