Chapter 40 Soul Hunting
Chapter 40 Soul Hunting (Part Two)
Liu Erlong was absorbing a spirit ring, while Dugu Bo was examining the corpse of the Flaming Unicorn Dragon, but unfortunately no spirit bone was produced.
High-level ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have a high probability of dropping soul bones. The higher the bloodline level of the soul beast, the higher the probability of dropping soul bones. Another method is to increase the drop rate of soul bones by cruelly killing soul beasts.
Even so, the probability is still very low. Dugu Bo only got three soul bones after hunting more than 20 ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in Sunset Forest, which is already extremely lucky.
The group then waited for Liu Erlong to absorb the soul ring, then helped Flander hunt the 70,000-year-old Sky Eagle, and finally helped Li Luochen hunt the mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex.
With Liu Erlong, who possesses the strength of a Soul Saint, protecting Li Luochen and Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo, who is at the Title Douluo level, and Flander, who is at the Soul Douluo level, should be able to take down this Tyrannosaurus Rex by joining forces.
The title of King of Sub-Dragons is no exaggeration. Like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, a ten-thousand-year-old beast can rival a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. It should not be underestimated.
To be on the safe side, Li Luochen asked Dugu Bo to help him refine medicine, since herbs with spiritual attributes, such as the Nourishing Spirit Flower, could be refined into pills that enhance spiritual power.
The recipe for the Broken Clan contains it, and Dugu Bo had already prepared it for Li Luochen. As for why he didn't use the "Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew," Dugu Bo already knew the effects of the "Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew" and planned to leave it for his granddaughter.
He wanted his granddaughter to also have a ten-thousand-year soul ring for her fourth soul ring, without needing to be as abnormal as Li Luochen; a little over ten thousand years would suffice.
Dugu Bo knew that ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts possessed the ability to vibrate their souls. To refine a high-quality spirit-attribute pill, he used all the mature spirit-attribute medicinal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. These included: Nourishing Spirit Flower, Concentrating Spirit Grass, Seven Illusion Azure Spirit, and Ghost Face Ginseng, among others.
Two kinds of pills were refined. One kind had an effect similar to the "Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Lu" (a type of elixir), which directly enhanced mental strength. The other kind was swallowed when absorbing a soul ring, which could stabilize the mind.
Li Luochen went to great lengths for this mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex. If it succeeded, he would take off; if not? There was no such thing as failure. What difficulty did a cultivator fear? Just go for it!
About a day later, Liu Erlong completed the absorption of the spirit ring, and her spirit power reached the peak of level seventy-one. The Martial Spirit True Body is very crucial.
Because the attributes of the Flaming Unicorn Dragon were a good match for Liu Erlong, the Unicorn Dragon's bloodline directly advanced Liu Erlong's dragon transformation. Her dragon head, limbs, and body had all been transformed into dragons, and now only her dragon horns and wings remained.
When Liu Erlong uses her Martial Soul True Form in her Dragon Transformation state, she is virtually invincible among her peers. She dares to fight even Soul Douluo, although she may not be able to defeat them. However, Dragon Transformation is a unique feature of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's signature technique, similar to the Great Sumeru Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect.
"Alright, let's go find the Sky Eagle. This time, Flander will protect the two children, and Dragon Girl and I will go to fight them."
Dugu Bo then gave instructions, as he was experienced and knew how to fight a 70,000-year-old soul beast. The original plan was for Flander and Dugu Bo to team up.
The Sky Eagle can fly very fast, and even a flying quasi-Soul Douluo like Flander could stop it. But now, Dugu Bo's left arm bone, combined with his eighth soul skill Time Freeze, is enough to keep the Sky Eagle in place. Liu Erlong can just violently injure it.
The five of them headed towards the territory of the Sky Eagle in Sunset Forest.
After walking for about half a day, we finally arrived. The trees here were much taller and thicker than those in other parts of Sunset Forest.
Many bird-like spirit beasts live here. These spirit beasts must be subjects of the Sky Eagle. How could the Sky Eagle, one of the overlords of Sunset Forest, not have any underlings?
However, most of them were thousand-year-old soul beasts, and they were directly frightened away by Dugu Bo's aura as a titled Douluo.
唳————
A loud eagle cry rang out, and the aura released by Dugu Bo startled the Sky Eagle. In the Sky Eagle's eyes, a human had violated its territory.
The Celestial Eagle is bluish-white in color, with a body length of 30 meters and a wingspan of 70 meters. Its feathers are sharp, like knives, and it is extremely majestic, as if it were the overlord of the sky, a being that roams the heavens.
"Hehe, here they come! Dragon Girl, let's go! Seventh Soul Skill, Golden Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor True Form!" "Seventh Soul Skill, Crimson Dragon True Form!"
Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong directly unleashed their Martial Soul True Forms to fight the enemy.
A forty-meter-long, golden-dragon-headed, snake-bodied golden serpent king charged toward the celestial eagle, while a twenty-meter-long fire dragon also charged toward the eagle.
The Sky Eagle directly engaged Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong in battle. The impact of their collision repelled the surrounding bird-like spirit beasts, while Li Luochen and Dugu Yan were relatively safe standing behind Flander.
At this moment, in the sky, the body of the bluish-white Sky Eagle was covered with two-thirds green and a small part charred black by flames.
The Sky Eagle sensed something was wrong; it had met its match. It tried to escape but was entangled and couldn't break free. It had been poisoned, though not severely, but enough to quickly render it incapable of fighting.
Meanwhile, the fire dragon beside it would frequently deliver a powerful blow, making it difficult to cope.
"Alright, little dragon, go and switch with Flander. This is almost over."
Dugu Bo transmitted his voice to Liu Erlong, who then flew directly towards Flander's location. After speaking with Flander, she deactivated her Martial Soul True Form, while Flander activated his Martial Soul True Form and quickly joined the battlefield.
During this brief interval between substitutions, the Sky Eagle seemed to have seized an opportunity. It suddenly glowed with light and took Dugu Bo's attack head-on, attempting to escape into the distance.
"Heh, trying to run? Eighth Soul Skill, Time Freeze!"
Dugu Bo unleashed his eighth soul skill, freezing the Sky Eagle that was trying to escape.
"Flander, quickly gather your strength and aim for the wound on its belly. Try to kill it with one blow. After I unfreeze time, I will use the Serpent King's Binding to trap it, but it can only be trapped for a few seconds. You must try to kill it with one strike."
Dugu Bo instructed Flander and immediately gathered his soul power into his left arm.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Flander directly channeled his soul power into his right arm. This was because Flander had obtained a 50,000-year-old right arm bone, which was produced by his seventh soul ring and the same soul beast.
Possessing powerful single-target attack capabilities, the Golden Eagle Sky-Splitting Claw is Flander's strongest attack to date.
"Ready! I'm about to begin."
Dugu Bo gestured to Flander, and the soul power in his left arm was also gathered.
Whoosh—time froze and then dissipated. Before the Sky Eagle could react, it was entangled by several green snake shadows.
"Golden Eagle Sky-Splitting Claw!" When Flander uses the soul skill of his right arm bone in his Martial Soul True Form state, the effect will be doubled! The soul rings and soul bones of the same soul beast have complementary effects.
Flander's Martial Soul True Form provides the greatest boost to his right arm's Soul Bone skill.
A golden slash struck the Sky Eagle's abdominal wound. Since its abdomen was corroded by snake venom and it had no feathers to protect itself, Flander's attack would surely shatter the Sky Eagle's internal organs.
With a final screech, the Sky Eagle lowered its proud head, and a black soul ring appeared.
