In all his long years, Dugu Bo had faced countless brushes with death, but this was the first time he had encountered one that left him utterly powerless to resist.
"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Old Ye and I will have to break our promise. Until you become Limit Douluos, do not try to avenge us." Dugu Bo's face was ashen. He abandoned all resistance and accepted his fate.
Just as the claws were about to fall, a ripple suddenly passed through the space before the four of them. A resounding dragon's roar rang out, toppling countless trees in the forest.
The force of that claw strike was completely dissipated by the dragon's roar.
Then the spatial fluctuation vanished. Apprehension flashed in the giant bear's eyes, and it slunk away into the forest, disappearing from sight.
"What happened?" Dugu Bo was the first to recover his senses.
One thing was certain: someone had just intervened to save them. But they had only heard a voice without seeing its owner, so they had no idea who their rescuer was, much less why they had been saved.
There were only so many Soul Masters with dragon-type martial souls on the continent. The strength that giant bear had displayed was far beyond that of Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, so their rescuer could not have belonged to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
As for the other dragon-type Soul Masters, none seemed capable of standing against that giant bear.
Ye Lingling let out a long breath and said with a smile, "That senior just sent me a voice transmission. From now on, no spirit beast in this Life Forest will attack us."
"It seems that senior is a master living in seclusion in the forest. I wonder who it could be," Ye Tianxin murmured.
