Having someone clear the way was certainly convenient. Xiao Tianyang and Teacher Miao advanced for Half an Hour without encountering nearly any obstacles!
In the Soul Hunting Forest, that was nothing short of a miracle!
Of course, factoring in the terrifying aura Teacher Miao was currently giving off, it was actually perfectly normal.
"Teacher Miao, may I ask you a question?"
Xiao Tianyang asked cautiously.
Without a moment's thought, Teacher Miao flatly refused. "No!"
Still somewhat unwilling to give up, Xiao Tianyang continued, "Then can you at least tell me your real name?"
"Why do you want to know that?"
After thinking for a moment, Teacher Miao said, "Miao Zhenshan."
"I still have no impression of it..."
Xiao Tianyang muttered under his breath.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
"We're here."
Hearing that, Xiao Tianyang looked up. A roar suddenly came from ahead, and the sound made the blood and energy throughout his body churn, almost more than he could bear.
"Something's wrong."
Miao Zhenshan released his Mental Power. Not long afterward, he opened his eyes. "Two Soul Beasts are fighting over territory."
He then turned to Xiao Dao. "Since you want to hunt the Soul Beast yourself, I won't be going over."
"But I only said one Soul Beast!"
Xiao Tianyang was at a loss for words, but then his eyes lit up as he remembered something. "You want me to make my move once they've both been badly hurt?"
"What else? With that scrawny body of yours, do you really think you can hunt a Soul Beast over two thousand years old?"
Miao Zhenshan sneered, then added, "Remember, one of them is a Vine Armor Dragon Turtle, and the other is a Flame Nightmare."
"Got it."
Xiao Tianyang nodded and took several steps forward, moving closer to the gradually intensifying sounds of battle.
But he suddenly remembered something and turned back. "Oh, right, if they spot me..."
"Where did he go?"
Before Xiao Tianyang could finish speaking, Miao Zhenshan had already vanished from sight. He could not help but look utterly dejected.
Keeping his body low, Xiao Tianyang approached the battlefield, concealing his aura in the grass as much as possible.
When he saw the two Soul Beasts, his heart could not help but skip a beat.
Although he had not properly studied Soul Beast knowledge yet, Xiao Tianyang could roughly identify the two Soul Beasts before him based on their names.
The one on the left stood around five meters tall and resembled a snapping turtle. It seemed to carry a small mountain on its back, covered in lush green vines brimming with vibrant life force. This should be the Vine Armor Dragon Turtle.
That meant the other one should be the Blazing Nightmare. It stood around two meters tall, with pitch-black eyes and the body of a young horse. Black flames burned along its back, and wherever it passed, it left behind charred hoofprints.
At that moment, the Blazing Nightmare leaped into the air and stomped down with one hoof. Countless black flames poured down like a torrential rain.
The Vine Armor Dragon Turtle merely let out a roar and withdrew into its shell, able only to defend passively.
Of course, once the flames had burned out, the emerald vines began growing madly once more, spreading across the sky like a vast net and wrapping around the Blazing Nightmare.
Even though they were reduced to ash the next instant, the countless vines could not be burned away completely!
In an instant, they wrapped the Blazing Nightmare into a giant rice dumpling.
Bang!
The vine cocoon exploded amid the flames. The Blazing Nightmare burst out looking somewhat exhausted, its black-horned unicorn flashing. Its four hooves stamped wildly against the ground as it Charged Towards the Vine Armor Dragon Turtle.
Faced with such a head-on charge, the Vine Armor Dragon Turtle was utterly fearless. It even took the initiative to meet it head-on.
But at that moment, relying on its speed advantage, the Blazing Nightmare suddenly veered to the right. Before the Vine Armor Dragon Turtle could react, its horn slammed into the side of the turtle's shell, and black flames poured madly into it!
Awooo!
A pained cry came from the Vine Armor Dragon Turtle's mouth, but how could a Soul Beast filled with beastly nature accept such a loss while enduring the pain of being burned alive?
The next moment, disregarding its own injuries, the Vine Armor Dragon Turtle rolled onto its side and pinned down the Blazing Nightmare, rolling over and over on top of it. It nearly gave it the full crushed-to-pieces treatment!
Fortunately, the Blazing Nightmare erupted at the very end and launched a desperate attack, blasting the Vine Armor Dragon Turtle into the air and earning itself a chance to escape.
However, after rolling to one side, the Blazing Nightmare was also barely clinging to life!
The Vine Armor Dragon Turtle was no better off. When it crashed to the ground, its crushed abdomen was already a bloody mess.
Not only had its shell been blown apart, but even its blood was nearly evaporated away. It, too, had only a single breath left.
The two stared at each other, both wanting to kill the other, yet neither capable of doing so.
Just then, Xiao Tianyang leaped out from the nearby brush. "Demacia!"
Both Soul Beasts froze on the spot. Even Miao Zhenshan, watching from atop a distant tree, slapped his forehead. "What the hell is that kid doing?!"
The Vine Armor Dragon Turtle tried to struggle. After all, The Human Before It looked so weak. But when it raised its head, all it saw was a palm strike descending from above!
Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Second Form: Flying Dragon in the Sky!
Already hanging on by a thread and waiting to watch its opponent die, how could the Vine Armor Dragon Turtle withstand Xiao Tianyang's palm strike aimed at the crown of its head?
He had poured nearly half his Soul Power into it!
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host, for killing the thousand-year Soul Beast Vine Armor Dragon Turtle. You have obtained Lottery Points ×260!"
A purple soul ring rose from the Vine Armor Dragon Turtle's corpse, but Xiao Tianyang did not let down his guard. He turned around, first drawing in a sharp breath before exhaling forcefully. He pushed both palms forward, his momentum overwhelming as he struck at the Blazing Nightmare, which was watching him warily!
Xiao Tianyang did not have the guts to absorb a soul ring right in front of another Soul Beast.
Moreover, from beginning to end, Xiao Tianyang's target had never been the Vine Armor Dragon Turtle, but the Blazing Nightmare before him!
Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Eighth Form: Shocking the Hundred Miles!
This was also the most powerful palm strike Xiao Tianyang could unleash!
The Blazing Nightmare still wanted to struggle, but unfortunately, Xiao Tianyang had noticed that all four of its hooves had been ravaged by the Vine Armor Dragon Turtle. It could no longer stand. Otherwise, it would definitely have been the first to suffer.
After all, the Blazing Nightmare held the advantage in speed.
But once it lost its mobility, the truly threatening one was the Vine Armor Dragon Turtle, which possessed long-range attacks.
Xiao Chenyu could tell that the Soul Beast had held something back earlier. That emerald-green vine, which no one else had noticed but which he had caught sight of by chance, was no mere decoration.
Xiao Tianyang's palms landed on the Blazing Nightmare's spine. With a crisp crack, it let out a mournful cry and collapsed on the spot, its eyes gradually losing focus.
"Congratulations, Host, for killing the thousand-year Soul Beast Blazing Nightmare. You have obtained Lottery Points ×320!"
Completely drained, Xiao Tianyang dropped onto the ground. "I had to use every trick I had to take down these two thousand-year Soul Beasts. Still, the rewards are pretty good, so this trip wasn't wasted."
Although Xiao Tianyang thought that, he was already bursting with joy inside.
More than 500 Lottery Points meant five chances to draw a prize. That was far more than the rewards from missions!
Although the results of the previous triple draw and double draw had been somewhat amusing, there had still been some good items among them, such as the Sky-Controlling Bottle and the Nether Sea Ring.
This time, it was a five-pull—not an eight-pull. It definitely would not disappoint Xiao Tianyang!
He believed it!
