Let's find another place.
Qian Renxue spoke up, showing no sign of urgency.
"Then let's go with the last one!"
Xiao Chenyu nodded slightly upon hearing this.
He didn't want to give up so quickly and wanted to try again.
However, She Long, standing to the side, wore a meaningful smile.
Even though the two little ones will be able to see each other every day in the future, there is a feeling of reluctance to part ways now.
After the three of them had traveled for dozens of kilometers, they arrived at a damp, dense forest.
Because the trees are tall and lush, almost no sunlight can penetrate to the ground, making the ground appear very dark and damp.
Even though the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, it wasn't as dry as other places. Instead, the withered yellow leaves looked as if they had been soaked in water, keeping them moist.
After entering the dense forest, She Longhu raised an eyebrow:
"Young man, you're quite lucky."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chenyu, who hadn't noticed anything amiss, first looked bewildered, then, as if remembering something, his expression brightened:
"Uncle She, could it be that..."
"There's a group of people ahead with strong spiritual power, but I don't know if they're the Moon Dream Baku."
She Long stood with his hands behind his back, squinting as he gazed at the dark, dense forest ahead.
Qian Renxue, standing to the side, showed a hint of regret, but quickly composed herself.
Upon hearing that they might be their target, the group quickly moved through the dense forest.
In just a few minutes, Xiao Chenyu and his two companions followed the direction that She Long had sensed and arrived at a pool of water.
Boom!!
The commotion ahead startled Xiao Chenyu and his companions.
However, She Long already knew the situation, and said calmly:
"In the battle between soul beasts, that group is driving away the outsiders. There is only one outsider soul beast, but its strength is not bad."
"Let's take a look first."
After Xiao Chenyu finished speaking, he hid in the shadows and began to observe the situation ahead.
Beyond the large tree where he stood, the forest gradually thinned out, and a small pool surrounded the bluestone.
Inside and outside the pool, four soul beasts, resembling pigs in size and with sharp snouts, were crawling about.
They huddled together, making noises that sounded like pigs and cows, their voices filled with vigilance and intimidation.
"The Moon Dream Baku... I got it without any effort at all..."
Looking at the four soul beasts in front of him, Xiao Chenyu's eyes lit up.
If it weren't for Qian Renxue's insistence, we might have missed it.
Moreover, the four moon-dreaming tapirs are not very old, the youngest being 400 years old and the oldest being 4,000 years old, while the middle two are 800 years old and 2,000 years old respectively.
The one from 800 years ago happened to be his second spirit ring.
"etc..."
Xiao Chenyu saw Yue Mengmo roaring in one direction and slowly calmed down.
The Moon Dream Eater's condition was not right. Considering what She Long had said before about the fighting between soul beasts, he had his own guess.
What are they doing?
Hearing the roar of the Moon Dream Eater, Qian Renxue's pretty face was filled with curiosity.
The Moon Dream Eater's cry carried a hint of spiritual power. If it weren't for the fact that everyone present was a Soul Master, and that She Long was protecting them, they would have been dizzy long ago.
"If I'm not mistaken, there's a soul beast in that direction that we can't see," Xiao Chenyu said in a deep voice.
He slightly raised his head, looking in the direction that Yue Mengmo was completely focused on.
There was a lush meadow there, and nothing could be seen in his direction, but Yue Mengmo looked on with a wary expression.
Can you figure out what it is?
She Long smiled; he was the only person who could see someone at the Title Douluo level.
Even the Moon Dream Tapir only smelled the creature's scent, rather than actually seeing it.
"Four hooves... approximately 2 meters tall... weighing approximately 300 kilograms..."
Xiao Chenyu frowned slightly and gave his judgment.
"How was this determined?"
Qian Renxue's red lips parted slightly, completely baffled as to how Xiao Chenyu could have figured it out.
How could she see so much information when neither she nor Xiao Chenyu could see it?
"Based on the details, Xiaoxue, look at that patch of grass. There are four unnatural depressions."
Following Xiao Chenyu's directions, Qian Renxue finally saw the four depressions, each about the size of a palm, where the grass had been squeezed down.
"This can only determine the four hooves, but can you really deduce height and weight based on this alone?"
"By observing the area and marks left by its four feet, we can roughly estimate its weight," Xiao Chenyu said.
"And what about height?" Qian Renxue asked, puzzled.
"Fallen leaves".
She Long, who was standing to the side, spoke up calmly.
“Uncle She is right!” Xiao Chenyu smiled and said, “That soul beast can hide its form, but it cannot conceal its size and the fact that it exists. Otherwise, the Moon Dream Eater would not have been able to detect its location with its excellent sense of smell.”
"When the leaf falls, although it is quickly shaken off, there will be a slight pause, which is enough for me to judge its height."
"So that's how it is!" Qian Renxue looked enlightened, her beautiful eyes widening as she stared at Xiao Chenyu.
It's not surprising that She Long has this insight, after all, he's over 80 years old and still has the strength of a Title Douluo.
However, Xiao Chenyu's soul power and age were inferior to hers, yet he possessed this remarkable ability to observe, which made her feel a sense of admiration.
"Can you identify what kind of soul beast it is?" She Long asked with a smile.
His words carried a test-like tone, as he believed that Xiao Chenyu was intelligent enough to guess the origin of this soul beast.
This is a rare enough soul beast, and it is far more suitable for Xiao Chenyu than the Moon Dream Eater.
If I'm not mistaken...
Xiao Chenyu pondered for a moment, suppressing his joy, and took a deep breath:
"It has the appearance of a horse, is entirely black, and has scarlet eyes. If you look into its eyes, you will be dragged into an illusion."
"Not bad, as expected of you."
She Long was generous with his praise, and Xiao Chenyu guessed almost everything correctly.
In his eyes, the creature standing on the grass was a black, horse-shaped soul beast, and its eye features were exactly as Xiao Chenyu had described.
Furthermore, he could see things that Xiao Chenyu hadn't noticed; the soul beast's gaze had never left them since they appeared.
With She Long's confirmation, Xiao Chenyu's surprise and delight intensified.
"What kind of soul beast is this?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask.
A black, horse-shaped soul beast with hallucinogenic eyes and the ability to conceal its form...
Based on her limited knowledge, she truly didn't know what kind of spirit beast it was.
In her memory, only Black Flame Horse and Phantom Night Steed fit a few of the criteria, but the other characteristics didn't match at all.
"Nightmare!"
Xiao Chenyu spoke the name of the soul beast with great agitation, as if describing some rare treasure.
"Nightmare...wait! I feel like I've heard that name before..."
Qian Renxue frowned slightly, trying hard to remember where she had heard that name before.
"I remember now! The sound of horses' hooves passing by at night, a nightmare that takes away the lives of an entire city in their sleep!"
As she spoke, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes widened, her voice trembled slightly, and her face was filled with fear.
