Kapitel 124: Chapter 123: Hunt in Star Dou Great Forest
Ye Qiu's second Soul Ring would gradually improve along with the enhancement of his physical qualities. After tempering his body with ice and fire spirituel well, its lifespan had already entered the preliminary stage of a thousand years.
The violet and black hues reflected in his emerald eyes.
Dugu Yan looked at Ye Qiu with a peculiar expression.
No wonder, no wonder Grandpa has always wanted to matchmake me and Ye Qiu. It turns out he knew early on that Ye Qiu is a freak!
"Ye, Ye Qiu, how did you manage to do this!?" Dugu Yan's curiosity filled her heart. How could the body of a Soul GrandMaster withstand this?
"Hehehe, Yan Yan, this kid's eyes can control soul beasts for sacrifice!" Dugu Bo eagerly explained, increasingly satisfied with Ye Qiu.
"Control soul beasts for sacrifice!?" Dugu Yan's head buzzed.
Sacrifice! Although she had heard this term before, she had never dared to imagine it. Soul beasts and humans were mortal enemies, and it was impossible for them to willingly sacrifice themselves to humans.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu's eyes possessed such a heaven-defying ability!
Vaguely, the voice of Xiao Lan from that day echoed in her ears. Ironically, she hadn't taken her words seriously at the time.
"Well, indeed, as Senior Dugu said. So, Miss Dugu, you can rest assured; the soul bone will be obtained soon!" Ye Qiu retracted his Martial Soul and smiled, nodding at Dugu Yan.
"Haha! Alright, Yan Yan, hurry and eat. Later, we will set out for soul hunting!" Dugu Bo laughed heartily, placing the prepared ingredients on the table.
"Okay, I got it." Dugu Yan replied softly, suppressing her desire to further understand Ye Qiu's thoughts, and went to get the tableware from her room.
Beside the low table, Dugu Bo, watching his granddaughter occasionally glance at Ye Qiu, continuously stroked his beard and chuckled in secret.
It seems that the things I prepared should come in handy!
Under Dugu Yan's gaze, an uncomfortable breakfast came to an end.
...
In the Sunset Forest, on the open ground, the figures of an old man and two youngsters suddenly appeared.
"Elder, are we going to hunt for soul beasts directly in the Sunset Forest?" Ye Qiu surveyed the surroundings and asked Dugu Bo.
"No, with you around, we don't need to waste time traveling. Let's just go to the !" The vegetation in the Sunset Forest isn't as lush as in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the soul beasts inside were mostly of thousand-year to ten-thousand-year levels, with fewer varieties. Going to the Star Dou Great Forest would indeed offer more choices.
"By the way, you should have marked the Star Dou Great Forest, right?"
"Yes!" Ye Qiu nodded.
"In that case, let's set off now!"
"No problem!" Ye Qiu activated his Martial Soul, placing his hand on Dugu Bo's back. "Elder, don't resist later!"
"Got it!"
Dugu Yan, standing beside them, naturally grabbed Ye Qiu's arm.
A vortex appeared, and the three were engulfed in divine might space. When they reappeared, a shadow cast over them.
The towering trees blocked the sunlight, and the constant roars of soul beasts echoed in the jungle. Occasionally, human screams could be heard.
"Kid! Your soul skill is truly amazing! We traveled such a distance in just a few breaths!" Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with nostalgia, even though it wasn't his first time experiencing this, he was still amazed.
Dugu Yan also nodded in agreement, her gaze seemingly glued to Ye Qiu. Covering such a long distance without taking a break was indeed impressive.
While the grandfather and granddaughter were still marveling, Ye Qiu had already cast his gaze on a small cave not far behind them, the place where he and Zhu Zhuqing had parted ways.
"Speaking of which, it's been almost half a year. Xiao Wu should be in Suotuo City by now. I should..."
Ye Qiu's thoughts were interrupted by Dugu Bo's voice.
"Haha, alright Yan Yan, don't keep staring at this kid. Even though this is just the periphery, we still need to be cautious!"
Although they were at the outer edge, situations where soul beasts from inside broke out were not unheard of.
"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan glared at him with embarrassment and turned her gaze away when she noticed Ye Qiu looking at her.
"Hmph! I know!" Dugu Bo patted Ye Qiu's shoulder. "Kid, we'll split up later. I'll search from the sky, and you, with Yan Yan, will search on the ground. Just don't go too far from me."
"Got it! I understand!" Ye Qiu put away his thoughts and nodded.
Swoosh! After Ye Qiu spoke, Dugu Bo soared into the air, heading into the forest.
"Ye Qiu, let's go quickly!" Dugu Yan pulled Ye Qiu's arm and moved forward.
"Miss Dugu, no need to be so troublesome!" Ye Qiu smiled, activating his Divine Might Space again.
A vortex appeared, and a soul beast with a snow-white body, double wings on its back, and emerald green eyes appeared in front of them.
It was the long-unseen Jade eyes Skywing Tiger.
As soon as it appeared and saw the surroundings, it joyfully let out a low roar, then excitedly pounced toward Ye Qiu.
"Soul beast! Be careful, Ye Qiu!" Dugu Yan exclaimed, preparing to release her Martial Soul.
"Don't worry, this is my pet!" Ye Qiu lightly patted Dugu Yan's hand.
"Pet!?" Dugu Yan looked at Ye Qiu in disbelief.
Since being educated by Xiao Lan, it didn't dare to randomly stick its tongue out anymore. Ye Qiu was happy about it.
Ye Qiu rubbed its big face, and it immediately ran outside.
"Ah!" Dugu Yan, who wasn't sitting stably, almost fell off, but fortunately, she hugged Ye Qiu's waist in time.
Feeling the elasticity and pressure behind him, Ye Qiu turned his head slightly. "Uh, Miss Dugu, can you not hold on so tightly?"
Too tight, he couldn't bear it!
"Sor-sorry!" Dugu Yan blushed, her heart also in turmoil. She adjusted her sitting posture, only placing her palm on Ye Qiu's waist.
Although there was still a slight itch around his waist, Ye Qiu could endure it.
He just controlled the speed at which the Jade eyes Skywing Tiger moved, trying to keep it steady.
Watching Ye Qiu, who had a faint blood color on his ears, Dugu Yan's lips curved up slightly.
Feeling the warm breeze blowing over her face while riding on a soul beast, it was indeed a novel experience for her. She wasn't putting much thought into finding soul beasts at the moment.
In the sky, Dugu Bo did not fly far. He looked down at the two people riding on the soul beasts below and smiled satisfactorily.
"Didn't expect this kid to have such a skill!"
Then he started to overlook the jungle below, searching for suitable soul beasts.
...
The Star Dou Great Forest is vast, and patience is crucial when searching for suitable soul beasts inside.
The speed of the Jade eyes Skywing Tiger is not fast. While searching, Ye Qiu also controls it to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Although it's midday, the vegetation provides shade, and Ye Qiu and the others don't feel hot.
"Ye Qiu, can I really absorb a soul ring beyond the ten-thousand-year limit?" Dugu Yan, on the tiger's back, had doubts and worries in his heart.
"Don't worry. After Senior Dugu's testing, my eye power can control sacrifices of soul beasts up to about thirteen thousand years. Your fourth soul ring will definitely be black!"
"Ten-thousand-year fourth ring," Dugu Yan murmured, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "Hmm, I believe you!"
"Found it!" A bright light flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes. About a kilometer in front, a snake over ten meters long was feasting.
"Where?" Dugu Yan looked around in confusion, unable to spot the shadow of the soul beast.
"Not far, about a kilometer ahead. Quickly send a signal to Senior Dugu!" Ye Qiu patted the head of the Jade eyes Skywing Tiger and directed it to run to the left.
"Alright! I'll notify Grandpa right away!"
Dugu Yan's hand encircled Ye Qiu's waist, and from the soul communicator, she took out a green glass ball, crushing it.
The green liquid inside quickly evaporated and diffused as soon as it was exposed to the air.
"By the way, Ye Qiu, how can you see soul beasts from so far away?" Dugu Yan, back to her senses, looked at the back of his head strangely, suddenly recalling something. Her face turned red, and she exclaimed, "Ye Qiu! Can your eyes see through things!?"
"Uh, indeed they can!" Ye Qiu, unaware of her abnormality, admitted it truthfully. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on both sides.
"You pervert!" Dugu Yan gritted her teeth, scolding him with hatred. However, the 'Nine Yin White Bone Claws' in her hand never fell.
Her face blushed, realizing that he had seen through everything!
With an evil look, she stared at Ye Qiu.
'Rogue! Jerk! I'll let you off this time, but I'll settle the score after the soul hunt is over!'
Stared at by her icy gaze, Ye Qiu felt a chill. Wanting to turn around and look, he hesitated.
"Miss Dugu, are you okay?"
"Jerk! Don't you dare use your lecherous eyes to look at me!" Suppressing the urge to slap him, Dugu Yan pushed his head away when he tried to turn around.
"Uh!" Dugu Yan's heart skipped a beat.She finally remembered the incident after swallowing the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. The moment he laid eyes on herself, her
hand on Ye Qiu's waist felt a bit restless.
While silence enveloped them, Dugu Bo received the notification.
The nine-section emerald snake coiled on his shoulder suddenly raised its head and spat out a crimson snake letter, hissing.
"Have you found it? Phew~ It's scorching!" Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, Dugu Bo, relying on the guidance of the special scent in the air, quickly found Ye Qiu and the others.
As they approached, Ye Qiu recalled the tiger.
At this moment, Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan were standing on a tree about a hundred meters away from a cave.
The land around the cave appeared dark red, with remnants of the scent of blood.
Ye Qiu stared fixedly at the cave entrance, his expression somewhat stiff, and his forehead had a slight sheen of cold sweat.
Dugu Yan, on the other hand, stared at him intently, her face reddening with a mix of embarrassment and anger.
"Kid, what's going on with you two again!"
Dugu Bo, who had just landed, saw the two standing like wooden statues, motionless.
"Elder, it's nothing. I'm just preventing the soul beast from escaping," Ye Qiu explained.
"Hmph! Nothing!" Dugu Yan coldly snorted, still glaring at Ye Qiu.
After a moment of silence, Dugu Bo didn't want to delve into it. Since the expressions of the two didn't seem bad, even if there were conflicts, it didn't matter.
He had already decided to make a move. With their emotions at this level, other things didn't really matter anymore!
He chuckled inwardly. The most important thing now was to help Yan Yan obtain the fourth soul ring.
"Kid, is that the soul beast you found inside?" Dugu Bo stroked his beard, pointing at the two-foot-wide hole in the ground.
"Yeah, it's a Dragon Marked Devil Snake, about thirteen meters long! As thick as the waist of two people! It should be over twelve thousand years old! Just had a meal and probably wants to go back to sleep."
"Dragon Marked Devil Snake! That's suitable."
Dugu Bo searched his memory and finally recalled information about this soul beast.
The Dragon Marked Devil Snake primarily grows in length below ten thousand years, and it starts getting thicker and larger after exceeding ten thousand years.
Inverted triangular snake head, finned snake tail.
The body is primarily covered in dark, autumnal black scales, interspersed with finer white scales. The white scales form intricate patterns, rumored to contain traces of dragon blood and possess a potent venom. Preferring darkness and moisture, with a cruel and violent nature, the Dragon Marked Devil Snake earned its name accordingly.
After glancing at Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo was about to suggest that they give it a try, but then he remembered the snake poison in his granddaughter's body, so he had to abandon the idea.
It had been more than half a year, and their emotional communication was almost there. They didn't care much about this seemingly unrelated soul hunt.
"Kid, keep an eye on Yan Yan. I'll go cripple it!"
Ye Qiu had already explained the sacrifice process to him before. Dealing with a soul beast just over ten thousand years as a Title Douluo was a piece of cake.
"Got it!"
As Dugu Bo flew out, Ye Qiu also pulled Dugu Yan's arm and retreated.
Before reaching the entrance of the cave, Dugu Bo's feet already raised a soul ring, with two yellow, two purple, and five black rings shimmering. The aura of a Title Douluo spread around, and noises echoed from the cave.
"First soul skill, Azure Phosphorous Poison Fire!"
Dugu Bo's voice, though aged, was full of vitality. The first yellow soul ring under his feet flickered, and he extended two fingers, sending a green flame flying into the cave!
Inside the cave, green flames immediately ignited, accompanied by swirling green poison gas.
Bang! Boom!
The ground where the cave was located suddenly bulged, then burst open, scattering mud and debris.
A snake shadow over ten meters long and as thick as two people directly emerged from the earth.
Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan were observing behind a large tree. The intervention of a Title Douluo was a rare sight.
"Hehe. I'm in a hurry! Let me deal with you!"
"Hiss~!"
As soon as he spoke, the tail of the Dragon Marked Devil Snake swept towards him. The two fin-like tails turned into sharp blades, gleaming with a faint light.
Swish! Dugu Bo dodged its tail with a simple acceleration.
Another jet of black venom shot out from the mouth of the Dragon Marked Devil Snake.
However, Dugu Bo effortlessly evaded it, casting a disdainful glance at the creature. He elevated, looking down on the Dragon Marked Devil Snake.
"Sixth soul skill! Azure Phosphorous Snake Emperor Break!"
The sixth black soul ring on Dugu Bo's body burst into a dark light.
Green soul power surged, emanating from his body and forming a solid phantom of the Azure Phosphorous Snake Emperor behind him.
It rushed fiercely toward the Dragon Marked Devil Snake.
