Obtaining the Eighth Soul Ring, a Seven-Headed Sixty Thousand Year Three-Eyed Demon Fox Appears?! (Bonus Chapter)

"All right, it's time to find suitable Eighth Soul Rings for your father and mother. Are you coming with us, or staying here to wait? After all, the soul beasts we'll be hunting this time will be at least fifty thousand years old. If we're lucky, we might even encounter seventy-thousand-year ones. That's far too dangerous for you right now," Yue Guan said gently.

Hu Bai thought for a moment. "I'm coming with you. I might not be able to help much with the soul beast Father needs, but because of my Martial Soul, I should be able to draw the attention of fox-type soul beasts for Mother. It should make them easier to find."

Yue Guan and the others exchanged glances, all finding it reasonable. With three Titled Douluo present, it wasn't as if they couldn't protect Hu Bai.

A day later.

The group had originally planned to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye to search for suitable soul beasts, but Hu Bai suddenly thought of an easier method and stopped them.

He then looked at Dugu Bo. "Senior Dugu Bo, what level of soul beasts can your Poison Array outside stop from entering?"

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment. "Soul beasts below fifty thousand years generally can't enter without special methods. Those above fifty thousand years might have an easier time, but unless they use their Innate Soul Skills, they still won't be able to get in. As you can see, I've set up this Poison Array here, and no soul beast has ever broken through it all these years."

Hu Bai nodded. That was indeed true. Otherwise, with so many precious Immortal Herbs growing here, the benefits to high-level soul beasts would be enormous if they ate them.

Thus, he made his decision. "I have a method that can attract soul beasts over ten thousand years old, especially fox-type soul beasts. But my concern is that if several soul beasts break through the Poison Array, things could become rather troublesome for us."

Hu Bai took out the Aromatic Silk Beauty and explained his plan to the others.

If they planted the Aromatic Silk Beauty outside and dripped ordinary fresh blood containing the power of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox onto it, it would be enough to lure high-age fox-type soul beasts over.

Moreover, the Aromatic Silk Beauty itself was immensely attractive to soul beasts. Once they smelled its fragrance, other soul beasts would likely come as well.

This was the method Tang San had used in the original story, and Hu Bai was merely copying it.

Dugu Bo hurriedly said, "Then give me one day first. I'll rearrange the array just in case."

Knowing that several, or perhaps even dozens, of high-level soul beasts might charge over soon, Dugu Bo shuddered. It would be better to reinforce it.

Naturally, Hu Bai and the others had no objections. They wished for nothing more.

Another day later, the Poison Array had been rearranged.

Hu Bai placed the Aromatic Silk Beauty within the Poison Array, only one meter from the outside. This distance was just right for its fragrance to spread out. He then took a bottle from his clothes and dripped a drop of black liquid onto it.

The liquid contained medicinal herbs that stimulated the Aromatic Silk Beauty's fragrance, along with some of his blood.

"All right, now we only need to wait a little. If anything unexpected happens, don't hold back just because you're worried about killing soul beasts. Other than the two soul beasts Father and Mother need to kill personally, drive the rest away if you can. If you can't, it's fine to kill them!" Hu Bai sternly reiterated what he had said before.

Although he had shown a gentle side after soul beasts died, burying their bodies,

that was because the battle had already ended. They were no longer enemies.

But before the soul beasts attacking them were dead, soul masters and soul beasts were enemies!

After all, if they couldn't be driven away, they could only be killed!

Out in the wild, the cruel law of the jungle was simple: survival of the fittest.

As the saying went, if you don't die, then should I?

Xie Tian, Hu Leyao, Yue Guan, and the others were already accustomed to this side of Hu Bai. It made him seem extremely rational—righteous to the point of seeming evil.

However, Dugu Bo and Ling Yuan, who had not known Hu Bai for long, were somewhat shocked. Was this really something a six-year-old child could say?

Normally, weren't six-year-old children still very innocent?

Even if children raised in major powers matured early through what they saw and heard, wasn't this a little too mature?

Not long after Hu Bai finished speaking, rustling sounds came from outside. Judging from the noise, at least five soul beasts over ten thousand years old were rushing toward them!

Five might not sound like many, but this was Sunset Forest, not Star Dou Great Forest. There weren't many soul beasts over ten thousand years old here!

In the entirety of Sunset Forest, there were probably only a few dozen soul beasts over ten thousand years old, and likely fewer than ten over fifty thousand years old!

At that moment, a massive Ten Thousand Year Cave Spider charged over first, attempting to break through the Poison Array, but it failed.

Following closely behind it were a fifty-thousand-year Mandala Snake and a fifty-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider Emperor!

When Dugu Bo saw those two soul beasts, his eyelids twitched. Both possessed deadly venom and resistance to poison. This was precisely the kind of unexpected situation he had mentioned earlier.

Fortunately, those two soul beasts could only force their heads inside and could not break through completely!

The farther outward his Poison Array extended, the weaker its poison became. The farther in one went, closer to the central area he had arranged, the stronger the poison became.

"Phew..." Dugu Bo let out a heavy sigh of relief. Thankfully, thankfully.

"Old Poison, your Poison Array is pretty good. In just half an hour, it's already drawn so many Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts!"

Then, in their senses, seven Three-Eyed Demon Foxes came charging toward them.

"That's the one!" Hu Bai cried out in delight. "It looks like a Sixty Thousand Year Three-Eyed Demon Fox. This age is perfect for an Eighth Soul Ring!"

Xie Tian stared at the seven Three-Eyed Demon Foxes and froze slightly. "Can Sunset Forest really have several identical Three-Eyed Demon Foxes appear at once? Three-Eyed Demon Foxes aren't social creatures, could it be..."

Hu Leyao nodded. "Yes, this should be one of the Three-Eyed Demon Fox's Innate Soul Skills, Phantom Clone! This is the one. Please pull him inside."

Yue Guan and the other two nodded. Without hesitation, Dugu Bo activated the only Soul Bone on his body—Medusa's Gaze!

In an instant, the seven Three-Eyed Demon Foxes stiffened, frozen in place.

"Leave the other soul beasts to you two," Dugu Bo said calmly.

Yue Guan and Ling Yuan immediately unleashed their Martial Soul Avatars and attacked the other soul beasts, while Xie Tian and Hu Leyao had already completed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Demon Charm!

The Light Unicorn Light Wing External Soul Bone spread open behind Demon Charm, along with the Bloodthirsty Wolf Bandit Left Leg Bone!

Facing this nearly seventy-thousand-year Three-Eyed Demon Fox, neither Xie Tian nor Hu Leyao dared to be the slightest bit careless. They went all out from the start!
