Waiting by the Stump for Rabbits, the Haote Squad Appeared
There are patterns to the types of Soul Bone that Soul Beast drop. Agility-type Soul Beast have the highest chance of dropping Soul Bone. Power-type Soul Beast have the highest chance of dropping arm bones. Spirit-type Soul Beast have the highest chance of dropping Skull. As for Trunk Bone, the chance of Soul Beast dropping them is extremely low, and there is no pattern to it.
Some Soul Beast, such as fish and snakes, either don't drop Soul Bone, or if they do, they mostly drop Head Soul Bone first. Only by collecting the other five parts of the Soul Bone (excluding the Trunk Bone) and then hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast will you be guaranteed to get Trunk Bone. Otherwise, it's all down to luck. Therefore, the Trunk Bone is the most precious of the six parts of the Soul Bone.
Offensive, agile, and defensive Soul Beast all meet the requirements for Huo Lei to find Soul Bone. These Soul Beast are also the most numerous, so Huo Lei doesn't need to deliberately search for them.
Huo Lei hadn't gone far when he discovered two Ice-Horn Mad Rhino with ten thousand years of cultivation fighting.
As its name suggests, the Ice-Horn Mad Rhino has horns like ice blocks, a violent temper, and is very prone to going berserk.
The Ice-Horn Mad Rhino excels in attack, strength, and defense. Its most terrifying feature is its single horn. Once it goes berserk, its speed increases dramatically. Combined with its sharp and hard horn, it charges forward with immense destructive power, making it capable of challenging opponents of higher levels, whether they are Soul Beast or Soul Master.
The Ice-Horn Mad Rhino, with ten thousand years of cultivation, is over four meters long and nearly two meters tall at the shoulder. Its entire body is snow-white, covered in long white fur, with only its horns and eyes being ice-blue. A single, slightly curved horn, over a meter long, points skyward, its tip gleaming coldly in the sunlight, giving off a chilling feeling.
At this moment, the two Ice-Horn Mad Rhino were locked in fierce combat, completely unaware of Huo Lei's approach. Huo Lei stopped when they were about thirty meters away.
"As expected of the Ice-Horn Mad Rhino, so arrogant! I'm already this close, and they haven't reacted yet. Could it be that they see me as alone and weak, or perhaps I look young and pose no threat to them? Whatever you think, it's a good opportunity to practice on the two of you. The horns of the Ice-Horn Mad Rhino are very beneficial to ice and snow attribute Soul Master. It is said that they contain pure icy energy. Even without Soul Bone, using two horns as bait is not bad." Huo Lei, who was ignored by Soul Beast for the first time, was both amused and exasperated, while simultaneously making a calculation in his mind.
"You two are having so much fun fighting, you wouldn't mind having one more, would you?" Huo Lei said as he quickly charged towards the two Ice-Horn Mad Rhino.
With the Flame Martial Soul activated, seven Soul Ring instantly appeared, and the aura released by Huo Lei finally attracted the attention of the two Ice-Horn Mad Rhino. Even the most foolish Soul Beast, upon reaching ten thousand years of cultivation, would possess a certain level of intelligence. The two Soul Beast finally stopped fighting and simultaneously roared at Huo Lei, charging towards him.
"Perfect timing! I was just looking to make a scene and attract attention. I'll play with you two for a bit." Huo Lei was secretly delighted, a slight smile playing on his lips, and at the same time, he started moving his right hand.
With his First Soul Ring lit up, a string of fireballs the size of washbasins was released from Huo Lei's right hand, attacking the two Soul Beast.
Immediately afterwards, the Second Soul Ring lit up, and a huge ring of fire flew out from Huo Lei's right hand, encircling the two Ice-Horn Mad Rhino.
The fireball landed on the Ice-Horn Mad Rhino's large horn and instantly dissipated. Although it did not cause any damage, it did slow down their forward momentum.
Ignoring the threat of the fire ring, the Ice-Horn Mad Rhino continued its charge, reducing the distance between itself and the Huo Lei from thirty meters to ten meters.
"Come on! Two adorable little ones." Huo Lei said calmly, smiling as he continued waving his right hand.
The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth Soul Ring pulsed forth, swirling wildly around Huo Lei's body.
A scorching column of magma erupted from the ground, directly blasting one of the Ice-Horn Mad Rhino away.
The Lava Armor instantly covered Huo Lei's entire body, completely enveloping him.
Huo Lei's golden eyes had turned golden-red. He activated his fifth Soul Skill, Mental Control, which directly affected the other Ice-Horn Mad Rhino. The Ice-Horn Mad Rhino's body froze, and its massive forward-moving body lost its balance due to inertia, crashing and tumbling towards Huo Lei.
At this moment, Huo Lei's right hand was already clenched into a fist, Flame swirling around it and turning crimson, the intense heat emanating from it distorting the cold air. When they were still three meters apart, Huo Lei threw out his right fist, the huge fist shadow formed by the convergence of Flame energy directly slamming into the Ice-Horn Mad Rhino. The Ice-Horn Mad Rhino in pain, its massive body being sent flying more than ten meters.
The Ice-Horn Mad Rhino's massive body slammed onto the icy ground with a thud, sending up a flurry of snowflakes and causing the earth to tremble. The Ice-Horn Mad Rhino then fell silent.
The Ice-Horn Mad Rhino, struck by the pillar of magma, was not seriously injured; only its belly skin was charred black. As it regained its footing, another Ice-Horn Mad Rhino crashed down beside it.
Seeing this, the Ice-Horn Mad Rhino stopped attacking Huo Lei and instead turned to flee.
"It's too late to escape now." Huo Lei scoffed, his Thunder Wings unfurling instantly as he soared into the air and chased after the Ice-Horn Mad Rhino.
In the blink of an eye, Huo Lei flew above the Ice-Horn Mad Rhino Rhinoceros. The Sixth Soul Ring his Flame Martial Soul lit up again, and with a punch, he smashed the Ice-Horn Mad Rhino's massive body to the ground. At the same time, the sound of bones breaking rang out, and the Ice-Horn Mad Rhino twitched once before dying.
Huo Lei descended from the sky, retracted their Thunder Wings, and drew their daggers to begin reaping the spoils.
After a thorough search, Huo Lei found nothing; neither of the two Soul Beast produced Soul Bone. Helpless, Huo Lei had no choice but to start collecting the Ice-Horn Mad Rhino's large horn.
As Huo Lei was taking the horn, his keen sense of vigilance alerted him to a slight noise.
Huo Lei consumed two Immortal Herb that enhanced his spiritual power, then absorbed Wisdom Skull that was over 50,000 years old, and also fused with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. Now his Soul Power Level has reached the Soul Sage level, and his spiritual power is comparable to that of Titled Douluo. Even without activating his perception and detection abilities, he can clearly sense the slightest movement within a hundred meters of him.
He stopped what he was doing, activated his Fiery Golden Eyes, and his eyes shone with golden light as he discovered fifteen people approaching his location from a distance of over a hundred meters.
"Fifteen people? What a coincidence! I hope they're the 'rabbit' I've been waiting for." Huo Lei was overjoyed. He didn't put away the two Ice-Horn Mad Rhino bodies, but left them lying on the ground.
"Captain, I'm sure I heard it right, the sound just now came from this side." Among the fifteen people, a middle-aged man in the front row reported the situation to the burly man in the lead.
"Look everyone, there's a person and a Soul Beast over there," a middle-aged man among the fifteen suddenly said.
Huo Lei released a faint, almost imperceptible sense, but even this faint trace was enough for him to clearly grasp the every move of the fifteen people not far away.
Sensing the fifteen people rapidly approaching him, a slight smile flashed across Huo Lei's face. But he remained unmoved, continuing to cut at the soon-to-fallen ice horn of the Soul Beast.
"Ice-Horn Mad Rhino with ten thousand years of cultivation! Captain, we've struck gold! The opponent only has one person, and he doesn't look very old." A middle-aged man made no attempt to hide his excitement as he spoke to the burly man at the head of the group.
