Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear

After separately dodging one attack from the giant bear, Su Hao and Tang Wulin spoke in unison:

"Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear."

This Soul Beast was simply too famous in the world of Soul Masters. It was known as one of the strongest beings in the Soul Beast World—the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

It was said that among the Ten Fierce Beasts ten thousand years ago, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear had ranked sixth. Xiong Jun was a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear that had cultivated for a full 460,000 years.

Moreover, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear possessed some Behemoth bloodline. A hundred-year-old Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear could rival ordinary Ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts, and adult Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bears fed on Giant Dragons.

Furthermore, Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bears were solitary Soul Beasts. Whether in offense or defense, their formidable strength placed them at the absolute pinnacle of the entire Soul Beast World.

If Flame Magic Lions were considered a top-tier race within this Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, then before a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, they could only wag their tails and beg for mercy.

Because throughout Soul Beast History, Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bears had always stood at the very highest level.

The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear before Su Hao and Tang Wulin was only about three meters tall, but it was likely over a hundred years old. Among Hundred-year Soul Beasts, a Soul Beast Killer like the Man Faced Demon Spider could contend against Thousand-year Soul Beasts.

But a hundred-year-old Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear could make even a Ten-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider turn around and flee! That was what made it so terrifying.

At the sight of this Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, Tang Wulin's scalp went numb. He had never expected to encounter a hundred-year-old Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear within the Spirit Ascension Platform during the Riot Period.

By all reason, shouldn't a Soul Beast like this be in the high-level Spirit Ascension Platform areas? How had it ended up in the Low-level Spirit Ascension Platform area?

Su Hao had not expected it either. They had encountered this Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear so early—shouldn't they have met it only before heading to Shrek Academy?

Could it be that his presence had caused Tang Wulin to face the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear ahead of time?

As for fighting this Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, Su Hao and Tang Wulin both thought, Don't be ridiculous. When encountering a Soul Beast like this, the best option was not to hesitate at all—just run.

Tang Wulin swung his right hand, hurling the Thousand Refined Silver Hammer at the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, then immediately turned and ran.

Su Hao also gathered all of the Law of Strength into his right hand before firing an Air Cannon at the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

"Clang!"

Tang Wulin's Silver Hammer struck the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear first. Then Su Hao and Kang Wulin saw the sturdy Thousand Refined Silver Hammer instantly torn to pieces beneath the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's claws.

The two of them simultaneously thought, What terrifying claws!

Before Su Hao and Tang Wulin could think further, Su Hao's full-power Air Cannon had already reached the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. Seeing the attack, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear did not hesitate and raised its right claw again, intending to smash it apart in midair.

However, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear had underestimated the power of Su Hao's Law of Strength. The moment its claw struck the Air Cannon, its right hand was pulverized by the attack. Then, with only slightly reduced force, the Air Cannon crashed directly into its chest.

Su Hao and Tang Wulin watched as the Air Cannon blasted the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's chest inward by a considerable distance before vanishing.

The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear was also driven back a long distance by the tremendous force of the Air Cannon before finally stopping.

With its right hand shattered and its internal chest organs injured, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear became even more frenzied and enraged. After letting out a roar where it stood, it rapidly charged toward Su Hao and Tang Wulin.

Seeing that the injured Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear had become even more furious, Su Hao and Tang Wulin immediately got up and ran backward. Then they heard a familiar sound behind them.

"Roar!"

Su Hao and Tang Wulin then saw that the Flame Magic Lion pack had already dealt with the trouble that had fallen from the sky and was charging toward them amid blazing flames.

With Great Fortune on his side, Su Hao charged forward without hesitation.

Tang Wulin knew there was no way he could escape unscathed, so he gritted his teeth and charged straight toward the Flame Magic Lion pack. No matter which side killed him, neither side would get off easy.

Running at the very front was the Male Lion. It was over four meters long, with a ring of fiery red mane around its head like a mass of dancing flames. Its entire body burned with dazzling orange-red light, and its imposing aura was overwhelming.

Its powerful presence and furious roar seemed to proclaim its sovereignty, telling every creature nearby that it was the ruler of this great forest.

It spotted Su Hao and Tang Wulin at once, especially Su Hao, whose body was surrounded by dense ripples of Spirit Power.

The Flame Magic Lion roared angrily. The Female Lions beside it scattered and surrounded Tang Wulin, while it itself pounced straight at Su Hao.

Naturally, it had to enjoy such a tasty morsel itself. It could practically feel that absorbing the dense Spirit Power from Su Hao's body would greatly increase its strength.

At that moment, Su Hao suddenly used Mind Power to swiftly lift himself into the air. At the same time, he conjured a Vine and bound it around Tang Wulin, pulling him into the sky as well.

Then, another Dark Gold streak flashed through the air, and the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear appeared out of nowhere in front of the Male Lion.

The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's speed was completely disproportionate to its massive body. It barely made any sound as it ran, and despite its severe injuries, it was no slower than Su Hao and Tang Wulin.

The Thousand-year Flame Magic Lion, which had been charging wildly with light blazing across its body and an imposing aura, saw the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear and seemed to have triggered some kind of switch. All four of its limbs exerted force at once as its body made an abrupt braking motion.

Immediately afterward, all the light flames on its body went out. Even its bristling mane instantly became smooth and fell flat.

With its tail tucked between its hind legs, it did not flee at once. Instead, it directly lay prostrate on the ground, making whimpering sounds.

Tang Wulin, bound and suspended in the air, said in stunned disbelief:

"Is that really the Flame Magic Lion King? A Thousand-year Flame Magic Lion?"

Before the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, the Thousand-year Flame Magic Lion and its harem were like little cats. All their flames had gone out, and every one of them lay prostrate on the ground, making the same tail-wagging, pleading sounds.

Yet the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear did not even glance at them. Its Ice Cold gaze fell directly on Su Hao.

The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear then raised its right claw. Dark Gold light flared brightly, and Su Hao's heart abruptly tightened. An inexplicable sense of danger drove him to pull Tang Wulin and swiftly dodge to the side.
