This Datura Snake, which had lived for over five hundred years, was the third Soul Beast Wang Feng had encountered since entering the forest.
It was also the strongest one.
"But unfortunately, Datura Snakes aren't very aggressive. Their bodies are extremely tough, and they're poisonous. They don't pose much of a threat to me."
Wang Feng shook his head.
A lifespan of over five hundred years was already pretty good.
But Wang Feng had no intention of absorbing its Spirit Ring.
The Datura Snake hadn't even taken much effort to deal with.
"If only Xiao San were here. This one would be perfect for him."
Wang Feng shook his head. He remembered that Xiao San's First Soul Ring had been a Datura Snake that was over four hundred years old.
He might be able to absorb this five-hundred-year-old one, too.
But Xiao San wasn't here, and in another hour, this Spirit Ring would probably disappear.
Wang Feng didn't dwell on it. Xiao San was the protagonist of the Douluo Continent; no matter what, he would get a Spirit Ring, and Wang Feng didn't need to worry about him.
Without giving it another thought, Wang Feng left the area and continued deeper into the Soul Hunting Forest!
About an hour later,
the night grew slightly darker.
Roar!
Suddenly!
A low growl drifted over from the distance!
The sound made the weak Soul Beasts nearby tremble in fear!
They all cowered on the ground!
"That sound!"
Wang Feng's body shuddered. Even he felt a trace of fear at the growl!
It was a millennium Soul Beast!
Definitely a millennium Soul Beast!
And not an ordinary one, either!
Just then, Wang Feng was about to hurry over.
Suddenly!
Awoo!
Another enormous howl rang out from the distance!
It was no less powerful than the growl!
In an instant, Wang Feng's whole body began to buzz with excitement!
Two millennium Soul Beasts!
Wang Feng's eyes blazed!
He hadn't planned on absorbing two Spirit Rings in a row, but he could still choose between them!
Wang Feng forcibly suppressed his excitement and moved forward with light steps. Before long, the growl grew louder, and a faint pressure drifted over from the distance.
Wang Feng silently climbed a tree and peered into the distance through gaps in its dense leaves.
Up ahead stood a Soul Beast that was pure white and foxlike, enormous at three or four meters tall.
A star-shaped mark adorned its brow. A purple glow radiated from its body as it stared at an even larger Soul Beast opposite it!
"This is the Star-Moon Fox!"
Wang Feng's eyes lit up.
According to the brief information he had read yesterday while spending time in the academy library,
the Star-Moon Fox was a millennium Soul Beast, pure white all over with a purple star-shaped mark on its forehead. It possessed an extremely powerful ability to recover, while its other abilities were unknown...
"The Golden Lotus in its first form already has an exceptionally powerful ability to heal and restore. If it were combined with this Star-Moon Fox's Spirit Ring..."
Wang Feng thought to himself.
The other abilities being unknown meant the information was incomplete and the library's records weren't detailed. There was nothing to be done about that.
But in truth, Wang Feng felt that the Golden Lotus in its first form didn't need any stronger healing or recovery abilities.
After fighting Su Yuntao that day, Wang Feng had discovered that the first form of the Golden Lotus depended on how much Soul Power he channeled into it.
By varying the amount of Soul Power he used, he could restore Soul Power, heal injuries, increase Soul Power, boost hormones, and produce other effects.
Earlier, he had channeled only about a fifth of his Soul Power, or even less, and that had been enough to increase Su Yuntao's Soul Power!
He had only tried channeling all of his Soul Power once, on that little bird, so he wasn't sure what other effects it might have had.
The more Soul Power he used, the stronger the effects of the Golden Lotus's first form became.
So, the Spirit Ring Wang Feng hoped for was one that could give him other abilities.
For example, it would be even more perfect if the Golden Lotus could also increase a Spirit Master's strength, speed, and stamina.
It would truly be an all-round support ability!
"Let's take a look at the other one first..."
Wang Feng looked toward the other Soul Beast.
The moment he saw it, he was stunned.
It was a leopard with golden fur all over!
Even under the moonlight, it still gleamed!
The Soul Power radiating from this golden leopard was a deep purple!
"Golden Light Thunder Leopard!"
Wang Feng felt his scalp tingle.
It was another millennium Soul Beast!
This Golden Light Thunder Leopard was incredibly fast, as swift as lightning. Worst of all, it was extremely aggressive!
In particular, it could also unleash lightning, paralyzing its opponents!
It was an exceptionally powerful offensive Soul Beast!
"But this Golden Light Thunder Leopard has to be at least five thousand years old!"
Wang Feng stared at the deep-purple Soul Power surrounding it.
Over five thousand years.
Could he absorb it?
No, could he even defeat this Golden Light Thunder Leopard?
If he could absorb its Spirit Ring, the Golden Lotus in its first form should provide all kinds of additional boosts!
It was the best match for him!
"That Star-Moon Fox seems to be only around three thousand years old. It can't possibly defeat this Golden Light Thunder Leopard either!"
Wang Feng's thoughts raced.
With his current strength, he absolutely couldn't defeat the Golden Light Thunder Leopard.
Forget defeating it!
He'd be lucky to escape alive!
Although he had a cheat, neither the Meteor Tear nor the Chaos Green Lotus had given him any powerful offensive abilities yet.
Unless the Chaos Green Lotus awakened another form, but that was impossible for now.
Awoo~
The Star-Moon Fox let out a low growl, and the wounds on its body rapidly healed.
"Then I can only rely on the power of this Star-Moon Fox..."
Wang Feng narrowed his eyes. He had already made up his mind!
According to the records, the Star-Moon Fox was an exceptionally intelligent Soul Beast!
Even without reaching ten thousand years, it had a certain degree of intelligence, though not much!
Just then,
the Golden Light Thunder Leopard, which was even larger than the Star-Moon Fox, let out a mighty roar!
The golden horn on its head suddenly fired a thumb-sized bolt of lightning straight at the Star-Moon Fox!
The lightning was incredibly fast!
The Star-Moon Fox seemed to have sensed it in advance and had already leapt high to dodge, but one of its feet was still struck!
Its flesh was instantly mangled, and it let out a pained, shrill cry!
Whoosh!
Strike while it's down-finish it off!!
Almost in an instant, the Golden Light Thunder Leopard vanished!
It leapt high, its claws flashing with cold light in the night!
Whoosh, whoosh!
Two flashes of cold light swept past. The purple Soul Power around the Star-Moon Fox rippled, and three bloody gashes suddenly appeared on its lower belly!
Boom!
The Golden Light Thunder Leopard's claws struck its body and sent it flying!
It traced an arc through the air before crashing down onto the branch where Wang Feng was!
Wang Feng glanced at the Golden Light Thunder Leopard in the distance, his eyes narrowing slightly.
So strong!
The Golden Light Thunder Leopard moved so fast that he couldn't even make out its speed!
He was no match for a Soul Beast over five thousand years old!
"But it seems this Golden Light Thunder Leopard is getting tired, too. The Star-Moon Fox keeps recovering, so it must have managed to injure him!"
Wang Feng looked down at the Star-Moon Fox, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile.
It seemed the opportunity had come.
