Mutant Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear (Please Bookmark)
The next day, early morning, Liu Yanyang rose early. After he and Yang Wudi finished breakfast, they boarded a carriage and headed for the Star Dou Great Forest.
Two days later, the carriage stopped at Soul Hunting Town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. After resting up, the two entered the forest directly.
After traveling for two hours, they reached the area where thousand-year Soul Beasts roamed.
"Tell me, little monster. Which Soul Beast have you chosen for your second Soul Ring?" Yang Wudi asked calmly.
"A top-tier Sub-Dragon Species Soul Beast with the Golden Bloodline—the Golden Tyrant Dragon." Liu Yanyang told Yang Wudi of the target he had decided on long ago.
The golden divine dragon coiled around the shaft of his Martial Soul, the Dragon Roar Spear, was currently only a three-clawed Flood Dragon.
That was why he had always chosen top-tier dragon-type Soul Beasts. One day, it would evolve into a five-clawed True Dragon.
By then, it would not be far from becoming a super Martial Soul. Moreover, according to the Breaking Clan's records, someone had once absorbed a Golden Tyrant Dragon's Soul Ring.
The resulting Soul Skill had been the rare All-Attribute Amplification, which was also why he had chosen the Golden Tyrant Dragon.
"A Golden Tyrant Dragon? I wonder whether the Star Dou Great Forest still has such a Soul Beast. It won't be easy to find," Yang Wudi muttered.
Liu Yanyang nodded in agreement and sighed.
"The Golden Tyrant Dragon recorded there was around two thousand years old and was found near the Mixed Ring of the Star Dou Great Forest several decades ago. All we can do now is try our luck."
With that, the two set off toward their destination.
For half a month straight, they expanded their search through the surrounding area, yet they did not even spot a single hair from a Golden Tyrant Dragon.
Just as Liu Yanyang was about to give up, a terrifying roar rang out from the distant woods. It was deep and powerful, with astonishing penetration.
Liu Yanyang turned to Yang Wudi. "Old Yang, can you tell what kind of Soul Beast that was?"
Yang Wudi shook his head. There was no sign of that Soul Beast within the range of his Spiritual Power.
For the roar to carry this far, it could not have come from an ordinary Soul Beast. He immediately looked at Liu Yanyang and cautioned him.
"Stay close to me in case anything happens. Let's go see what kind of Soul Beast it is."
Liu Yanyang nodded solemnly. This was no time for mistakes.
They raced nearly five kilometers toward the source of the roar.
A dark golden flash streaked past. Everything in its path was instantly torn apart and reduced to dust.
The razor-sharp force even left five pitch-black marks in the air. Looking closely, they were actually tears in space itself.
"This is..." Yang Wudi and Liu Yanyang were both stunned, staring blankly at the scene before them.
At the center of the ruined forest in the distance stood a massive bear, powerful and imposing, more than nine meters tall.
Its fur was reddish gold, and its terrifying giant claws gleamed with an icy chill beneath the sunlight.
"That's a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear!"
Liu Yanyang's voice trembled. He immediately came back to his senses and pulled the stunned Yang Wudi into hiding.
After they hid, Yang Wudi asked with lingering fear, "What kind of Soul Beast is a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear?"
"The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear is a legendary super Soul Beast. A ten-thousand-year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear can contend with a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. It is said that the strongest among them can even rival giant dragons."
"Hiss—"
Yang Wudi sucked in a cold breath, deeply astonished.
Liu Yanyang watched the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear feeding before them, his doubts growing stronger. Shouldn't its fur be dark gold?
Why had it turned reddish gold? And why were those terrifying giant claws covered in scales?
After pondering for a while, he realized that this Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, which was nearly twenty thousand years old, might be a mutant. It had dragon blood in its body.
That did not seem impossible. As for which one had cheated, he had no idea.
Seeing Liu Yanyang's eyes gradually burn with excitement, Yang Wudi smacked him on the head and said sternly.
"You brat, don't tell me you've got your eye on its Soul Ring?"
"Never mind whether you can absorb it. This old man is only a level seventy-eight Soul Sage. The two of us wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth!"
Liu Yanyang rubbed his head and said excitedly, "What are you thinking, Old Yang? It's not like I'm trying to get myself killed. Do you think it has cubs?"
"What? What cubs?"
"This Mutant Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear came out to hunt for food. It'll definitely return to its nest afterward. Let's follow it and see whether it has any cubs."
Yang Wudi considered it for a moment, then nodded. "That works. If there really is a young Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear suitable for you, this trip won't have been in vain."
"Then we'll give this big fellow some strong medicine and carry off the little one."
While the two discussed their plan, the well-fed Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear slung the remaining food over its back and headed deeper into the forest.
An hour and a half later, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear stopped before a large stone cave and roared toward its entrance.
Roars answered from within the cave, as though they were responding to each other. Two Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bears emerged.
The larger one was also around ten thousand years old. Hiding in the grass, Liu Yanyang stared at the smaller one with shining eyes.
It was around two thousand years old. Although its cultivation was a little low, Liu Yanyang's current physical condition was only slightly weaker than that of a Soul Ancestor.
His ideal limit was around three thousand years, but this was a super Soul Beast!
Seeing Liu Yanyang's gleaming eyes, Yang Wudi said nothing more. He immediately took out a box from his Storage Soul Tool.
"What's inside is called 'Dream.' It's an incense made with the Ten-Thousand-Year Illusion Flower as the main ingredient, supplemented by all kinds of hallucinogenic herbs."
"When night falls, light it at the cave entrance. Within an hour at most, I guarantee they won't wake up."
Yang Wudi spoke confidently. Medicine refining was, after all, the Breaking Clan's specialty.
The moon shone bright while the stars were sparse, and the night was deep...
Yang Wudi silently crept forward, stopping at the cave entrance. He lit the "Dream" incense with a firestarter, and smoke rose into the air before drifting into the cave.
An hour later, after taking the antidote, the two entered the cave.
The family of three lay neatly on the ground. Yang Wudi kicked them twice while Liu Yanyang began searching the cave.
"You brat, what are you looking for? This cave is filthy!"
"Old Yang, I'm checking for Soul Bones. I wonder if Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bears have a habit of collecting valuable things."
Hearing Liu Yanyang's explanation, Yang Wudi hoisted the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear cub onto his shoulder and sneered.
"Enough, stop dreaming. A man has to keep his feet on the ground!"
With that, he ignored Liu Yanyang and carried the cub out of the cave. Having found nothing after searching around, Liu Yanyang could only follow Yang Wudi.
The two ran straight toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
As dawn broke, the two arrived at the outskirts. Yang Wudi tossed the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear cub from his shoulder onto the ground.
"Rest up and recover your condition. Then we'll begin absorbing the Soul Ring!"
