Big Brother's Help: "Let my big cat help you hunt spirit beasts."

Shi Hao felt a bit troubled upon hearing Hu Liena and the other two say they still needed to hunt spirit beasts.

This meant wasting a lot of time here, which would greatly affect his plan to rescue his mother. His father had told him his mother was definitely eager to see them, and every day apart was an agony, so Shi Hao didn't want to wait.

"Hunt spirit beasts... Got it. Since we have to hunt spirit beasts, why don't I help them?"

Shi Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to the Demonic Pattern White Tiger, which was still gnawing on meat, "Big tiger, why don't you help them? It'll definitely be faster, right?"

The Demonic Pattern White Tiger was stunned for a moment. It raised its huge tiger paw, pointed at itself, and let out a beastly roar, communicating with Shi Hao in beast language.

"You want me to go... Are you sure? I'm a spirit beast, you know. Having a spirit beast help you hunt spirit beasts, isn't that a bit odd?"

Shi Hao looked at the meat scraps remaining on the Demonic Pattern White Tiger's mouth and the corpse of the Magic Wind Wolf lying on the ground, and couldn't help but say, "But... you seem to be eating spirit beasts quite heartily!"

Demonic Pattern White Tiger: "..."

The Demonic Pattern White Tiger chuckled awkwardly a few times and finally agreed. When Shi Hao told Hu Liena and the others his plan, the three of them were immediately excited.

Having a powerful spirit beast with thirty thousand years of cultivation helping them hunt spirit beasts was absolutely tremendous news for them.

The Demonic Pattern White Tiger was already among the top predators in the spirit beast world. Its assistance in hunting spirit beasts might even be more efficient than that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.

Without much hesitation, led by the Demonic Pattern White Tiger, Hu Liena and the other two began searching for their fifth spirit rings in the Star Dou Great Forest.

As for Shi Hao, he didn't follow them because he wasn't good at hunting spirit beasts. He'd rather use the time to eat more!

Yan always left Shi Hao with plenty of food before setting out, so Shi Hao was happy to wait at the camp.

With the tacit cooperation of the three of them and the Demonic Pattern White Tiger's terrifying tracking ability, Xie Yue obtained his fifth spirit ring very easily, resolving it on the second day.

The spirit beast it hunted was a Demonic Armor Turtle with ten thousand years of cultivation. It was a defensive spirit beast, very suitable for Xie Yue... This spirit beast was found by the Demonic Pattern White Tiger.

However, the Demonic Armor Turtle's defense was too monstrous. Even with the trio's bombardment, they couldn't inflict any substantial damage. In the end, they had to rely on the Demonic Pattern White Tiger to flip the Demonic Armor Turtle over.

Its abdomen was its most vulnerable part... and then it was focused fired upon and killed by everyone.

After absorbing this Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, Xie Yue finally broke through to the fifth ring, reaching level 52 spirit power... his strength had undergone a qualitative leap.

Now, only Hu Liena's fifth spirit ring remained unresolved. However, due to the special nature of Hu Liena's Martial Soul, it made finding a suitable spirit beast for her rather difficult.

The group searched for two days before finding a suitable spirit beast for her!

"This Shadow Centipede is truly too cunning... It took a lot of effort to track its whereabouts. This time, we absolutely cannot let it escape."

"That's for sure. This is Nana's Martial Soul... I'll take it down for Nana even if it costs me my life."

The three of them, Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue, slowly formed a triangular formation and moved towards a certain direction. Yan also didn't forget to boast to Hu Liena.

However, Hu Liena completely ignored Yan's boasting and kept her eyes fixed on a certain spot.

Suddenly, the Demonic Pattern White Tiger, which had been walking at the forefront of the three, stopped. Its breathing also gradually quieted down, clearly indicating it had discovered something.

"Shh... It's coming!"

Seeing this, Hu Liena stopped and frowned, immediately saying in a deep voice. Yan and Xie Yue immediately put away their playful thoughts and looked extremely serious.

The next moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from behind them. The ground began to crack... a massive maw, accompanied by a foul stench, lunged towards them.

"Careful!"

Hu Liena's expression changed drastically. She hadn't expected this Shadow Centipede to be so cunning. The previous traces were just a smokescreen; this fellow was actually preparing to ambush them!

"Activate Martial Soul!"

But as the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, they were not to be trifled with. They activated their Martial Souls almost instantly and retreated with a stomp of their feet.

After adjusting themselves, they immediately launched their attacks. Various Spirit Skills were unleashed towards the Shadow Centipede.

"Roar!!!"

At this moment, the Demonic Pattern White Tiger also launched a fierce attack. It opened its great mouth... and a white light wave immediately surged towards the Shadow Centipede!

Bang, bang! Bang...

The scene instantly descended into chaos. After a round of fighting, they discovered that the Shadow Centipede was too cunning and elusive, disappearing whenever they tried to track it. However, it was still within their encirclement.

Hu Liena thought that this tactic wouldn't work. As an experienced control-type Spirit Master, she immediately came up with a countermeasure.

While directing everyone, she released her Spirit Power and Spirit Skills.

"Yan, Xie Yue, and Tiger, the three of you stay at the Shadow Centipede's head and try to disrupt its escape with powerful attacks; I'll be at the centipede's tail. I will try my best to control its tail, making it lose its balance and reducing its defensive capabilities."

They heard Hu Liena's instructions and immediately followed her command. The two of them instantly appeared on either side of the tiger and simultaneously released their Spirit Rings and Spirit Skills.

Yan stood proudly, his Martial Soul, the Flame Lord, burning fiercely behind him. The scorching flames seemed to ignite the surrounding air.

Yan took a deep breath and began to gather Spirit Power. His body was gradually enveloped by flames, and the color of the flames became deeper. Suddenly, he let out a loud roar and pushed his hands forward, unleashing a massive flame shockwave from his hands.

This flame shockwave was like a roaring fire dragon, lunging at the enemy with bared teeth and claws. Wherever the flames passed, the air distorted, and the ground was scorched.

At this moment, Yan's power was fully displayed. The determined light in his eyes hinted that he was determined to help Hu Liena successfully obtain this fifth spirit ring.

At the same time, Xie Yue also unleashed his third Spirit Skill: Break.

A faint glow began to appear on his body, and the light on the Moon Blade grew increasingly dazzling. Powerful red blade energy shot out from the Moon Blade, sweeping towards the Shadow Centipede.

Watching the terrifying power unleashed by the people on both sides, the tiger also prepared to gather its strength.

These two powerful attacks were enough to slice the Shadow Centipede's body into several pieces and burn them to charcoal.

However, they did not use their even more powerful fourth Spirit Skill; the final blow was to be saved for Hu Liena.

But reality did not unfold as they had imagined.

Suddenly, the Shadow Centipede quickly turned its head and swept Hu Liena away with its tail. Hu Liena only managed to stabilize herself after flying dozens of meters.

Because of this opening Hu Liena created, the encirclement instantly had a large gap, giving the Shadow Centipede an escape route.

Its scarlet eyes instantly lit up!
