A few days later.
Star Dou Forest, Mixed Zone.
Lin Yaoyang walked at the front, his spiritual power spreading in all directions.
Jiang Nannan followed him, his steps as light as a cat. Wang Dong'er walked on the left.
Xiao Xiao was walking in the middle, protected by three people.
Not long after they entered Mixed Zone, the bushes in front of them suddenly shook violently.
A pig.
A fat Oink Pig with gray fur ran out of the bushes.
Its four short legs flew very fast, the fat on its belly trembled, and it made a horrified grunt from its mouth.
When it saw the Lin Yaoyang group, it was so frightened that it almost stopped. Its legs gave out and it rolled twice on the ground before getting up and running again.
But it's running in the wrong direction.
It's going around in circles.
behind.
The dull sound of footsteps came from deep in the woods.
A bear.
The bear was huge, more than three meters long and nearly two meters high at the shoulder.
Its hair is not ordinary brown or black, but dark golden. Under the sun, every hair glows with a metallic luster.
The most eye-catching thing is its two front claws, which are disproportionately huge, with hook-like tips, and are so sharp that they can tear anything apart.
Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
It rushed out of the woods chasing Oink Pig, leaving a deep footprint with every step.
Oink Pig runs fast, but Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is faster and more patient.
It chased it leisurely, like playing a cat and mouse game.
Lin Yaoyang stopped and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Xiao Xiao, it seems you are in good luck. Not long after you came in, the suitable Soul Beast was delivered to your door."
When Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear heard the human voice, he stopped suddenly and turned to look at Lin Yaoyang's group.
A fierce light flashed in its eyes.
Those few humans don't look big.
It growled low and took two steps towards Lin Yaoyang.
Xiao Xiao looked at the dark golden giant bear and asked curiously, "What is this Soul Beast? It looks so fierce."
She had only seen the picture of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in books and did not recognize it for a while.
Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear usually lives in Star Dou Forest Core Zone and rarely comes to Mixed Zone.
"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."
Lin Yaoyang said, "It looks like it's about two thousand years old, which is just right for you."
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up.
"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is of very high quality. It is very dangerous for ordinary Soul Elder to absorb its Soul Ring."
Lin Yaoyang continued, "But you have eaten a lot of good food with me these days and have a good physical foundation. With your current physical fitness, you can completely bear it."
Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously. "Then I'll trouble Brother Yao Yang!"
Lin Yaoyang touched her head and walked towards Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear watched this human being walking towards him. Instead of retreating, he let out a deep roar from his throat.
Human beings who don't know whether to live or die!
Do you really think you can hunt down any Soul Beast?
Let you know how powerful Dark Gold Terrorclaw is!
It lowered its body, kicked off its hind legs, and suddenly pounced on Lin Yaoyang.
At that moment, it was too fast to be like a huge bear, and its dark golden claws drew several cold lights in the air.
Lin Yaoyang watched it pounce and did not dodge.
He took a step forward with his right foot, pulled back his right arm, gathered momentum, and punched.
One punch.
A simple punch.
The fist hit Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in the face.
"Bang--!"
Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body paused in the air, and then flew out at a faster speed.
It rolled several times in the air, broke a small tree as big as a bowl, and hit a big tree before stopping.
Its head was tilted to one side, and its eyes were full of stars. There was a clear fist mark on its face, the bridge of its nose was broken, and blood flowed from the nostrils.
It struggled to stand up, but its limbs wouldn't obey.
"Xiao Xiao! Give it a fatal blow!"
Xiao Xiao has been ready for a long time.
Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron flew out, and three small cauldrons rotated in the air, merged into one, and turned into a big cauldron, which hit Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear on the head.
"Boom--"
A dull crashing sound.
Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is completely motionless.
A circle of purple Soul Ring slowly rises from it.
Xiao Xiao sat down cross-legged, pulling Soul Ring into his body and began to absorb it.
Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong'er stood beside her, one on the left and one on the right, protecting her.
Lin Yaoyang walked to Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body and squatted down.
He began to dispose of the body.
High-quality Soul Beast flesh and blood, great supplement.
He separated the bones, flesh, and sinews, gathering what should be gathered and throwing away what should be thrown away.
When he reached his right forefoot, his hand paused.
Deep in the dark golden claws, there is a bone emitting a faint light.
Soul Bone.
He carefully took out the bone and held it in his hand to examine it.
That's the right metacarpal bone, the complete version of Dark Gold Terrorclaw.
Good stuff.
He put Soul Bone away and continued to dispose of the body.
After processing, he sat down next to Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body. It would take some time for Xiao Xiao to be absorbed, so he could just take a rest.
In my mind, the voice of Electrolux rang.
"My little friend, the way your world obtains power is really... unique."
There was a hint of emotion in Electrolux's tone.
According to what Lin Yaoyang told him before, there are nine realms in Soul Master's cultivation. Breaking through each realm requires hunting Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring.
Then if you want to become a Titled Douluo, don't you have to kill nine Soul Beast?
Moreover, the growth rate of Soul Master is much faster than that of Soul Beast.
If this continues, there will only be fewer and fewer Soul Beast.
What should humans do in the future Soul Master?
Lin Yaoyang leaned against the tree trunk and said in his heart, "Elder Electrolux, these are the rules of this world. If you want to break through, you have to get Soul Ring. If you want to get Soul Ring, you have to hunt Soul Beast."
"Is there no other way?"
Electrolux asked.
"Yes. But it's difficult for ordinary people to do it."
"In what way?"
"Accepted by Deity, through Godly Trial, I received the God-Given Soul Ring gifted by God."
"..."
Electrolux was silent for a moment and let out a sigh of helplessness or emotion.
"Then ordinary people really can't do this."
Lin Yaoyang thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Elder Electrolux, you said before that you were Holy Necromancer, and you are so good at Necromancy?"
"What do you think, little friend?"
"Tell me, can we come up with a new way to obtain Soul Ring?"
Electrolux became interested and asked, "Tell me and listen."
Lin Yaoyang organized the words in his mind and slowly told him his thoughts.
If Soul Master wants Soul Ring, Soul Beast must be killed.
As soon as Soul Beast died, his soul was forcibly locked by Soul Ring, turning into a violent will full of hostility.
When Soul Master is absorbed, it will suffer backlash. At the level of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, there is another Soul Shock.
That is Soul Beast was unwilling to be absorbed by humans after his death, and used his last consciousness to resist.
"You can refine the remaining souls into undead servants."
Lin Yaoyang said, "Then let's change our thinking, okay?"
"Instead of refining Soul Beast's soul into a puppet that can only obey orders, we should find a symbiotic way for it. Transform its soul into a special life form that has no entity but will not disappear."
"This kind of life form has no entity, but its function is the same as Soul Ring. It can provide Soul Skill, and can even help Soul Master fight and practice, and grow together with Soul Master."
"So so... so so..."
The space of Eye of Life was quiet for a long time.
After a while, the voice of Electrolux sounded again.
"My little friend, your idea is very interesting."
His voice was deeper than usual, as if he was thinking about this matter seriously.
"You can give it a try. I need time to study it."
Lin Yaoyang said in his heart, "Then it will be hard work Elder Electrolux."
Electrolux laughed.
"It doesn't matter. It just so happens that I have nothing to do. Besides, this is much more interesting than the previous Necromancy."
Electrolux's consciousness sank into the space of Eye of Life and began a long period of research.
