Dai Chong suddenly rushed out and led the six people to the direction where Cheng Xiao was, breaking through countless bushes along the way.
When the seven people came to Cheng Xiao with solemn faces, looking at the thin figure, the seven people stopped immediately.
"You are here? I'm done, get ready to go."
Cheng Xiao turned around calmly, but there was nothing unusual. The body of the tiger demon cat was lying beside him, and the shadow of the tiger demon cat had disappeared.
"Huh? Where is the soul beast?" Lao Liu was confused. They just heard the roar of the soul beast coming from this side.
"Where did the soul beast come from?" Cheng Xiao showed a puzzled look, and there was no flaw on his face.
"Just now we heard the roar of the tiger demon cat, and thought you were in danger, so we rushed over. Didn't you hear it?" Dai Chong narrowed his eyes and looked at Cheng Xiao for a long time. For some reason, he felt that Cheng Xiao had changed in some way compared to before.
It was not clear, but he always felt that the thin figure was deeper, which made him feel a kind of vague pressure.
That feeling was very strange. It was not the kind of soul oppression that the Soul Saint Soul Douluo gave off, but it was like a kind of suppression in momentum. He looked weak, but there was a kind of gloomy feeling that made people feel like a thorn in their backs. It was faint and always lingered in his heart.
But thinking about it carefully, it was unlikely. This kid was only eleven years old. How could he, a Soul Sect, have such a feeling?
"I heard it. It seemed to come from over there." Cheng Xiao pointed to the direction that was completely opposite to the direction Dai Chong came from.
Dai Chong looked up and followed the direction Cheng Xiao pointed, passing Cheng Xiao's figure and looking into the distance.
"Let's go. Maybe it's the mate of this tiger demon cat. Let's leave quickly." Dai Chong shook his head and said, unable to understand the changes that had taken place in Cheng Xiao.
"Well, let's go." Cheng Xiao nodded and walked into the middle of the seven people.
Under the escort of the seven people, Cheng Xiao left this place, leaving only the corpse of a tiger demon cat. A purple soul ring above the corpse seemed to have lost its bright color and was pulsating dimly.
No one noticed that the shadow under Cheng Xiao's feet was thicker than before.
Suddenly, a pair of fierce cat pupils slowly opened in the shadow under Cheng Xiao's feet.
"Behave yourself, little guy..."
Cheng Xiao smiled lightly when he noticed the change in the shadow under his feet. He comforted it in his heart, and the cat pupils slowly closed, and the shadow returned to calm.

"Damn it! ****..."
Looking at the three-eyed giant ape in front of him, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but curse secretly.
This is the fifth soul beast they have hunted. The first four were all without exception. The shadows were successfully summoned by him and became a member of the Shadow Legion.
Only this fifth one actually resisted Cheng Xiao's summons three times, so that it failed in the end.
"It seems that my strength is still too weak now, and I can't summon a stronger shadow." Cheng Xiao secretly regretted it.
The three-eyed giant ape in front of him has reached 3,200 years old and is extremely outstanding in the spiritual system. If he can become his shadow soldier, it will definitely make up for the shortcomings of the legion's control system.
"Alas, I should have limited it to less than three thousand years." Cheng Xiao sighed: "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant..."
Cheng Xiao was greedy. After obtaining the first soul beast shadow, he kept increasing the bet. The second one was 2,700 years old, the third one was 2,900 years old, and the fourth one even reached 3,000 years old!
Although there were twists and turns in the process, after three orders, the three soul beast shadows were summoned by him without any danger. Therefore, this time he once again set his sights on the three-eyed giant ape that was three thousand two hundred years old.
However, this time he was completely defeated.
Perhaps the three-eyed giant ape was too old, or perhaps the three-eyed giant ape was a spiritual soul beast, and its spiritual power was stronger, so its resistance to emotions was naturally higher. Or perhaps it was both.
Anyway, Cheng Xiao failed to summon his shadow.
For a moment, Cheng Xiao was in a very bad mood, and he wanted to tear the three-eyed giant ape into pieces.
After sighing for a while, Cheng Xiao turned around and left, walking towards the direction of the Soul Sect team.

"Brother, do you think this kid is really collecting soul beast information? Why do I feel something is wrong?" Lao Liu approached Dai Chong and whispered.
Dai Chong glanced at Lao Liu, then retracted his gaze and looked around calmly, "What do you mean?"
"Every time we finish, I find that the soul beast doesn't have any extra scars on its body, it doesn't look like it. And..."
Lao Liu paused for a moment, a trace of doubt appeared on his stiff face, "I feel that kid...hiss...I don't know how to describe it, it feels like...he's getting stronger and stronger. When I looked at him for the first time after the last time, I was almost scared back two steps."
Dai Chong's expression moved slightly. He also had this feeling, but this feeling came inexplicably, making him confused and thinking it was his own illusion.
But now, Lao Liu's words made him perk up. It seems that he is not the only one who has discovered the problem, so it must not be an illusion. Something must have changed in that kid that they don't know about.
"Honest work, this order will make a lot of money." Dai Chong pondered for a while, looked at the other five people, shook his head and said: "Don't think too much about the employer's affairs, don't mess up the order."
Dai Chong didn't want to make trouble. The reward for this order was not small, which could be said to be the most generous among all the commissions received.
However, Lao Liu didn't want to skip it so easily. Instead, he lowered his voice and whispered in Dai Chong's ear: "Boss, do you think this kid has mastered some secret method to quickly improve his strength?"
Dai Chong turned his head suddenly, and his eyes collided with Lao Liu's eyes. Lao Liu's eyes flashed with greed and excitement, which made Dai Chong's heart beat hard.
Dai Chong swallowed his dry throat and his eyes wandered: "It's unlikely... That kind of secret method is not something a small city businessman can have."
In this continent, anything with the word "secret method" is priceless. Any major sect will regard it as a treasure and will not easily pass it on. For example, the explosive ring of Haotian Sect, the distraction control of Qibao Liuli Sect, and so on.
If these secret methods are thrown out, it will be enough to make the civilian soul masters on the mainland beat their brains out.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like something that an ordinary merchant family can have.
"Boss, don't you think about it? It's just collecting a soul beast specimen. Is there anything worth hiding? You don't let us see it, it's obvious that there is a secret!" Lao Liu became more and more excited as he spoke: "I am 100% sure that this kid must have something good in his hand. Even if it can't increase soul power, it can scare me away, it must be good!"
Dai Chong's breathing stagnated a little, his eyes began to flicker, and he seemed to be a little moved.
"Brother, how about we..."
Lao Liu scratched his throat with his thumb, and a fierce look appeared on his hideous face covered with scars.
