This soul beast was green all over, and was hard to see it in the green jungle if one didn't look closely. Furthermore, it was covered by the trees and branches in the two hundred meters between them. However, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection could clearly lock onto its position.

　　Huo Yuhao didn't lock onto all the soul beasts around him after he activated it. However, his Spiritual Detection could reach a heightened level of precision even at a distance, and he could tell if it was hostile towards them from the soul beast's blood essence, soul power, and spiritual power.

　　They had come across quite a few soul beasts before this, but most of them kept their distance and avoided the group. Some displayed hostility, but they were just trying to intimidate the group, and didn't come near at all. The soul beast before them was different. Once it discovered Huo Yuhao's group, it didn't evade at all, and swiftly came nearer instead. There was a strong aura of hostility and murderous intent around it.

　　There were several typical circ.u.mstances with soul beasts like these. First, they could be meeting a belligerent and aggressive soul beast that would attack no matter who its adversaries were. Second, they could encounter a hungry or starving soul beast that had a particular preference for humans. Humans were considered as delicious as meals could get, and these soul beasts would definitely not let go of an opportunity like this. Soul masters were nutritious and extremely beneficial for soul beasts!. A soul master's tendons, flesh, blood, and veins were perennially nourished by soul power, and the nutrition contained within them was far superior to normal soul beasts. The higher level these soul beasts were, the more interested they would be in high-level soul masters. There were some soul beasts that could directly absorb a soul master's soul power to boost themselves!

　　The last situation was territory. Some relatively stronger soul beasts would mark out their own territories due to their predatory and dietary needs, and these territories were not restricted to soul beasts! Humans would definitely be a.s.saulted if they trespa.s.sed. After all, soul beasts that could mark their own territories were stronger than most of their kind.
