Lucky Light
For a moment, dozens of Soul Ring of yellow, purple, and black floated in the air, creating a spectacular sight.
"Wow! How beautiful!" Yunxiang, like an innocent young girl, frolicked and played among the Soul Ring.
With a smile, Jin Shan greeted the crowd, "So many Soul Beast, let's all work together to check them! I'll stand guard for you."
Jin Shan's words excited the other five, who took out their preferred weapons and began to examine the dozens of Soul Beast on the ground.
Within a quarter of an hour, the five of them had finished inspecting all the Soul Beast on the ground.
The group exchanged glances, all remaining calm. No surprises meant no gains. After taking stock, the group consisted of thirty-six Frost Wolf and Ice-Horned Snow Ox, yielding nothing. Even the 50,000-year-old Frost Wolf leader hadn't dropped Soul Bone.
Jin Shan, observing everyone's expressions, understood the results of the inspection and smiled, "There are too many Soul Beast on the ground; my Storage Ring can't hold them all. Each of you should collect six, then we should leave quickly. The stench of blood here is too strong and will easily attract other Soul Beast. We should try to avoid trouble and focus on finding our target."
In the blink of an eye, all thirty-six Soul Beast were stored into the Storage Ring of the six people. Huo Lei and his group continued their journey north.
"Senior An Jun, are you looking for a Soul Beast that's tens of thousands of years old to make Soul Ring?" Yunxiang's curious voice suddenly rang out.
An Jun, standing in the first row, smiled and said, "Naturally, the higher the age, the better. With a Super Douluo like my elder brother as our helper, we should at least hunt down a 90,000-year-old Soul Beast, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for him."
"That's right! With Senior Jin Shan around, hunting a 90,000-year-old Soul Beast won't be difficult." Yunxiang smiled and agreed.
"Teacher, what's your opinion on the age limit of Senior An Jun's Ninth Soul Ring?" Huo Lei suddenly asked.
Jin Shan, walking at the back of the group, readily replied to Huo Lei, "What's there to see? As long as I can beat them, that's enough."
Jin Shan's words warmed An Jun's heart, who was walking in the first row. At the same time, his face was full of smiles, and his steps became more powerful. However, the five people behind him did not notice any of these changes.
Huo Lei, "Teacher is absolutely right. Senior An Jun, did you hear that? In that case, let's go straight for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
An Jun, who was walking briskly, almost slipped and fell when he heard Huo Lei's words. At the same time, Shui Bing'er, Yunxiang, and Xue Wu all showed expressions of shock and looked at Huo Lei and Jin Shan.
Feeling the astonished gazes of the crowd, Huo Lei said casually, "Don't be surprised, everyone. My teacher is a level 96 peak Super Douluo. Dealing with a 100,000-year-old beast is no problem for him, right, teacher?"
Jin Shan, walking behind Huo Lei, said irritably, "You brat, you're giving your master trouble again. Dealing with ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest is no problem for me, but this is the Far North, which has a natural advantage and bonus against ice and snow-type Soul Beast. Their strength and recovery abilities are greatly enhanced. Even with my strength, hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast will be extremely difficult. Moreover, you are too weak. If a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast even touches you casually, your lives will probably be over."
Huo Lei exclaimed excitedly, "Hahaha! Don't worry, teacher, I'll protect everyone's safety. You can focus on dealing with the Soul Beast."
Jin Shan said angrily, "You little brat, you said it yourself, so everyone's safety is in your hands now. I've been itching for a fight anyway, and I was just thinking of finding Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to practice on!"
Huo Lei said, "Teacher, there's no one else in this Far North, so go ahead and be crazy! Just fight Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast you see. We can also broaden our horizons."
Jin Shan kicked Huo Lei in the butt and said irritably, "You brat, so you just want to stir up trouble, huh? You think it's okay to fight Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Do you think they're made of mud and so easy to beat up?"
Huo Lei covered his buttocks with his hand, pretending to be in pain and yelling, "Ouch! Someone hit me! Is no one going to do anything about this?! Bullying the weak!"
Huo Lei's actions made the three women beside him burst into laughter, their laughter shaking them, adding a touch of laughter and warmth to the originally cold and desolate Far North.
The nights in the Far North are long and cold. The biting wind, mixed with snowflakes, stings the face like a knife. Even boiling water poured into the sky will instantly turn into icy mist.
Huo Lei and his group of six chose a sheltered spot, gathered around the campfire, and happily ate their roasted Ice-Horned Snow Ox.
Yunxiang chewed on some beef and mumbled, "Luckily we had Huo Lei, otherwise it would have been difficult to even start a fire in such harsh conditions."
An Jun said, "The area we're in is already within the range of Soul Beast that are 60,000 to 70,000 years old. We should be able to encounter a suitable Soul Beast tomorrow. Let's all hang in there a little longer."
"Senior An Jun, did you obtain your Eighth Soul Ring in the Far North?" Huo Lei asked curiously.
An Jun swallowed the beef in his mouth, nodded, and said, "Yes, the area is similar to this place, also a place that appears every 60,000 to 70,000 years. My Eighth Soul Ring comes from a Frost Giant Ape with 70,000 years of cultivation, which gave me a powerful single-target attack skill."
"Wow! Everyone, look at the sky!" Yunxiang suddenly stood up, exclaiming in surprise, and pointed to the distant sky while still holding the roasted meat in her right hand.
Everyone looked in the direction Yunxiang pointed. An Jun smiled and said, "This beautiful light rarely appears. We people in Iceforest City call it the ' Lucky Light.' Legend has it that those who see the Lucky Light will have good fortune coming their way in the near future."
Yunxiang exclaimed, "Wow! This ' Lucky Light ' is so beautiful! It's the first time I've ever seen one like it."
An Jun smiled and said, "As far as I know, the ' Lucky Light ' only exists in three places: Iceforest City, Frozen Forest, and the Far North. You definitely wouldn't have seen it while you were in Heaven Dou City."
Huo Lei looked up at the sky and saw a green ribbon interspersed with purple, like a giant silk ribbon floating in the sky, very beautiful and colorful.
"Isn't that the aurora borealis? So that's what they call the ' Lucky Light ' in the Douluo Plane. I hope good fortune will truly come our way and that our journey ahead will be smooth sailing." Huo Lei admired the aurora borealis with a sense of anticipation.
Beautiful things are always fleeting, and the Lucky Light that An Jun spoke of soon disappeared into the sky.
The group returned to the campfire and continued to warm themselves and eat meat.
Huo Lei looked at Yunxiang seriously and said, "Yunxiang, I'm going to tell you a secret about me, and I hope you won't tell anyone. I will use it when everyone is resting at night. I'm telling you in advance so as not to startle you, and I hope you will keep it a secret. Currently, you are the only one among the six of us who doesn't know about its existence."
"Secret? What secret? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Yunxiang chewed on her beef, her face full of curiosity, while earnestly assuring Huo Lei.
Huo Lei said, "I have a Soul Tool that can enlarge and cover everyone inside. It also has the ability to become invisible. After using it, everyone can rest in peace without anyone needing to keep watch at night, and we don't have to worry about attacks from Soul Beast."
"You have such a treasure? Why didn't you take it out and use it sooner?" Yunxiang threw the bone, still with a bit of meat on it, into the fire, her black eyes filled with doubt as she looked at Huo Lei.
