Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast

What Yue Guan did not know was that Lin Bei had actually secretly eaten two Immortal Beans, and that was the only reason he had been able to keep up with his speed the whole time.

The effect of the Immortal Beans was incredibly powerful.

Once eaten, the body instantly recovered to its original state.

Lin Bei had prepared more than twenty of them early on and stored them in the space inside his wristguard.

With his current Soul Power, he could only materialize one Immortal Bean every two hours. Fortunately, as long as the materialized Immortal Beans were not eaten, they could be stored indefinitely.

Twice today, he had felt that he was about to fall behind Yue Guan's speed, so he had immediately eaten an Immortal Bean, restoring his stamina to its peak.

That was how he had kept up with Yue Guan all this time.

The night passed without incident.

With Yue Guan, a Titled Douluo, present, Lin Bei slept peacefully.

The Star Dou Great Forest was certainly dangerous.

But right now, Lin Bei and the others had not yet gone deep into the forest. Out here on the outskirts, there were no overly powerful soul beasts yet, and Yue Guan, as a Titled Douluo, was more than enough to keep the situation under control.

Of course, if a soul beast on the level of the Titan Giant Ape suddenly ran out to the outer regions, that would be another matter entirely.

Another day of travel followed.

The soul beasts Lin Bei and the others encountered grew stronger and stronger. First came hundred-year-level soul beasts, then thousand-year-level soul beasts, and now even ten-thousand-year-level soul beasts were beginning to appear.

At this point, Yue Guan no longer dared to release his aura without restraint.

If he released his aura now, it would be no different from provoking those ten-thousand-year soul beasts, like an extremely arrogant person saying to a group of people no weaker than himself:

I'm fucking here—come kill me if you can!

Naturally, Yue Guan would not do something so suicidal.

"Be careful. We've already entered the dangerous area of the Star Dou Great Forest."

Yue Guan reminded Lin Bei.

This so-called dangerous area was naturally relative to him.

For Lin Bei, every part of the Star Dou Great Forest was a dangerous area.

Lin Bei nodded and warily watched his surroundings.

Roar!

Suddenly, a beast's roar rang out, sending the branches and leaves on the ground flying.

Before Lin Bei could react, a white figure had already darted out like a ghostly shadow and charged over.

In that instant, Lin Bei's heart was shrouded by the shadow of death.

"A mere White Bone Demon Leopard dares act ferocious in front of me?"

Yue Guan gave a cold snort, and his martial soul appeared.

A streak of golden light shot out at extreme speed, slicing across the white figure.

The golden light drew a beautiful curve through the air, then flew back into Yue Guan's hand, merging with the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum he held.

So that golden light had been a petal of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Smack.

The white shadow fell to the ground.

Lin Bei blinked, only then clearly seeing what it looked like.

It was a leopard-type soul beast with snow-white fur all over its body and all four limbs wrapped in white bone.

Now, this White Bone Demon Leopard's head had been pierced through. It was dead beyond dead, and a black soul ring floated up from its corpse.

Holy shit!

I almost died!

Still shaken, Lin Bei patted his chest.

"Let's keep going. The activity area of that Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast isn't far from here."

Yue Guan put away his martial soul, glanced at Lin Bei, and said with a smile.

Lin Bei nodded.

They continued forward. After that, they encountered several more soul beast attacks, but Yue Guan blocked them all. He did not deliberately kill them, only driving the soul beasts away.

It was not out of pity.

Rather, the bloody smell from killing soul beasts would attract even more soul beasts. Letting these soul beasts flee could lure other soul beasts into chasing them.

When night covered the sky, Lin Bei and the others finally arrived at the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's activity area.

On the ground covered with rotting branches and leaves, some enormous footprints could be seen, and from time to time, they could also see feces giving off a rank stench.

"These footprints and droppings all come from the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast."

Yue Guan pinched his delicate nose and went forward to inspect it with a look of disgust, then explained to Lin Bei.

"Are we going to look for it now?"

Lin Bei looked up at the sky and asked.

"We'll search now. The Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's vision worsens at night. In the daytime, once its eyesight recovers, it'll be even harder to deal with."

"But..."

"Don't worry. This whole area is the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's territory. The soul beasts we might run into won't be strong."

Yue Guan explained.

Lin Bei let out a breath of relief.

What he had been worried about was running into other powerful soul beasts. If a fight broke out, it would probably draw the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's attention, and when that happened, their situation would turn bad.

Fortunately, just as Yue Guan had said, this entire area was the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's territory. There were basically no powerful soul beasts here; even if there had been, they had either been killed by the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast or driven away.

Lin Bei followed behind Yue Guan, searching for traces of the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast.

The strengthening his body had received was comprehensive. His eyesight had been greatly enhanced as well, so even on this dark, windy night, he could easily make out his surroundings.

They searched all along the way. From time to time, they found the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's footprints and feces, but...

"How can such a huge soul beast not show even a shadow of itself?"

It was already midnight, yet they still had not found the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast.

Suddenly, Yue Guan seemed to hear something. He raised a finger to his lips and signaled to Lin Bei.

Lin Bei froze for a moment, then stopped speaking and moving.

He twitched his ears.

Rumble...

Vaguely, he heard some movement.

Yue Guan gave Lin Bei a look.

Lin Bei nodded and followed behind Yue Guan, creeping toward the direction the noise came from.

As they drew closer, the sounds coming from ahead grew louder and louder.

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening explosion rang out. Up ahead, it was as if a fireworks warehouse had exploded; terrifying flames shot into the sky, and waves of scorching heat swept over them.

The ground shook violently. Lin Bei stumbled and nearly fell.

"What happened?"

Lin Bei steadied himself and asked in surprise as he looked ahead.

Yue Guan reached out, grabbed Lin Bei by the arm, and leaped, bringing him up onto a large tree.

Standing on the big tree, their field of view opened up considerably.

They looked toward the direction the noise had come from—

Within their line of sight, two terrifying colossal creatures were locked in a life-and-death struggle.

"It's the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast and the Violent Flame King Bear."

After clearly seeing the two massive soul beasts battling, Yue Guan spoke with a somewhat grim expression.

Boom!

The Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast and the Violent Flame King Bear crashed into each other!

The collision between the two was like two small mountains slamming together, erupting with terrifying roars and shockwaves that snapped and toppled the surrounding trees one after another!

The ground seemed to suffer an earthquake. Cracks split open into ravines, and countless chunks of earth were hurled into the air by the terrifying force before blasting out in every direction like cannonballs!

In the field, the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast looked very much like a triceratops. On its back was a huge shell like a small mountain, appearing incredibly heavy and possessing unparalleled defensive power.

The Violent Flame King Bear stood about six or seven meters tall, its fur a blazing red. Muscles bulged all over its body, making it look exceptionally violent.

The two terrifying soul beasts fought with abandon in the field.

The Violent Flame King Bear slammed a paw toward the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's head. Its massive bear paw carried scorching flames, and even the air distorted beneath that strike.

The Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast let out an enraged roar. Its huge body twisted by force, using the shell on its body to block the Violent Flame King Bear's flaming bear paw!

Bang!

A dull impact echoed outward along with a wave of air.

Lin Bei was shaken so hard up in the tree that his blood and qi surged.

With a grave expression, Yue Guan said, "That Violent Flame King Bear's cultivation should be over forty thousand years, while the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast is over thirty thousand years.

Their strength should be roughly equal.

What we need to do now is wait until they fight each other until both are wounded, then reap the benefits. Be careful. Don't make too much noise."

Lin Bei nodded.

The Violent Flame King Bear was also among the top existences among soul beasts.

Its strength and defense were among the best of all soul beasts. Not to mention, this terrifying soul beast could also wield the power of flames.

Its soul ring—

Not only was it the ultimate soul ring for all strength-type soul masters, it was also the dream soul ring that fire-type soul masters yearned for!
