"Mm," Bibi Dong said softly. "It isn't easy to come across a Six-Winged Golden Cicada that fits your requirements so perfectly."
Her gaze locked onto the faintly flickering golden light ahead, her tone calm.
"A Six-Winged Golden Cicada molts once every ten thousand years of cultivation. This one seems to have molted three times already. Its strength is equivalent to an ordinary Soul Beast with fifty thousand years of cultivation."
"Wait here. I'll go catch it for you."
Gui Yuan said nothing more. He stepped back a few paces and hid behind a thick ancient tree.
On the way here, Bibi Dong had already explained this kind of Soul Beast's habits to him.
For Food System Soul Masters, whether a Soul Beast was rare did not really matter.
But rare Soul Beasts often had unique traits and might yield unusual Soul Skills.
The Six-Winged Golden Cicada was just such a creature.
At that moment, detailed information about it surfaced in Gui Yuan's mind.
The Six-Winged Golden Cicada had an incredibly hard carapace, impervious to water and fire and untouched by the five elements. Ordinary attacks struggled to breach its defenses.
It possessed the twin innate abilities of Spatial Shuttle and Mental Interference, allowing it to briefly conceal itself and drive away nearby Soul Beasts.
The description in Spirit Hall's records alone showed how formidable it was.
If he obtained its Soul Ring, even if it did not grant an all-attribute boost, it would very likely grant a Soul Skill that was extremely useful to him.
Bibi Dong stepped forward, tapped her toes against a low-hanging branch, and shot out like an arrow.
The Six-Winged Golden Cicada seemed to sense danger. Its six thin wings abruptly quivered, releasing a sharp, piercing cicada cry.
A golden halo erupted around it, enveloping its body.
But Bibi Dong was faster.
Her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul instantly possessed her, and purplish-black light spread from her body.
Two scythe-shaped weapons formed at her hands, purplish-black throughout, their blades shimmering with a deadly poisonous gleam.
Those were the left and right arm bones that had dropped after she killed a hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor.
"Third Soul Skill, Death Spider Web Restraint."
Bibi Dong swept her hand, and an enormous dark-green spider web shot from her palm.
Covered in fine venomous barbs, the web swooped toward the Six-Winged Golden Cicada with suffocating pressure.
Yet the Six-Winged Golden Cicada's figure abruptly blurred.
Without any warning, it appeared five meters away, easily escaping the web's reach.
Its movements flowed like clouds and water, without even a trace of unnecessary fluctuation in its presence.
Spatial Shuttle... Gui Yuan saw it clearly from afar and thought, It really does live up to its reputation.
Bibi Dong merely snorted coldly. "Think you can escape?"
The instant her words fell, her presence surged.
A ring of purplish-black light spread from beneath her feet, sweeping across the entire area like ripples.
Death Domain!
This was the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul's Innate Domain.
The instant the domain unfurled, the air within a hundred-meter radius seemed to freeze.
Web-like patterns appeared on the ground. Purplish-black poisonous mist seeped from the cracks, filling every inch of space.
Within the domain, all of Bibi Dong's attributes increased by ten percent, while all her enemies' attributes decreased by twenty percent.
Her spiritual power increased by twenty percent, while her enemies' spiritual power decreased by twenty percent.
Most importantly, within the domain, enemies could not use spatial skills such as concealment and teleportation.
For the first time, a flicker of panic crossed the Six-Winged Golden Cicada's pale-golden pupils.
It tried to activate Spatial Shuttle again, but its figure merely flickered slightly. Its teleportation distance had been compressed to less than a meter, rendering it virtually useless.
Immediately afterward, copious amounts of purplish-black death spider venom clung to its carapace, hissing as it corroded the surface.
The Six-Winged Golden Cicada let out a piercing screech, its six thin wings vibrating frantically.
It knew it could no longer escape, so it chose to fight back.
Golden light surged within its body, and the six markings on its carapace lit up simultaneously. Like a golden cannonball, it charged straight at Bibi Dong.
It moved so fast that it even left an afterimage in the air.
Bibi Dong's expression did not change. "Fifth Soul Skill, Thousand Blades, Ten Thousand Shields."
Thousands of spikes materialized before her, packed tightly together like a hedgehog-like shield.
The Six-Winged Golden Cicada slammed into the shield with a deafening crash.
Golden light and purplish-black spikes ate away at each other, erupting in a dazzling halo.
Bibi Dong pressed down with one hand. The shield shattered into countless fragments, turning into a mass of spikes that counterattacked.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Blood-Sucking Spider Thorn."
Thousands of spikes imbued with blood-sucking and deadly poison effects poured down on the Six-Winged Golden Cicada like a torrential rain.
Every spike aimed precisely at the gaps in its carapace, but just then, brilliant golden light suddenly burst from the Six-Winged Golden Cicada.
A translucent golden barrier instantly formed around its body, deflecting every last spike.
Golden Body Skill.
This was the Six-Winged Golden Cicada's final life-saving measure.
While protected by the golden light, its defense increased severalfold, and it became immune to all damage for a short time.
Looking at that layer of golden light, Bibi Dong's lips curved with a trace of disdain.
"Golden Body Skill? Is that any use?"
She abruptly withdrew her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul and instantly switched to possession by her Second Martial Soul, the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor.
Dark-green light enveloped her entire body. She became an afterimage as she lunged straight at the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, the Sixth Soul Ring beneath her lighting up.
"Eternal Wound."
The scythe in her hand pierced the Six-Winged Golden Cicada's golden body barrier without hesitation, like a red-hot knife slicing into butter, and deadly toxins spread through its body.
Its carapace cracked, and golden blood gushed from the wound.
The Six-Winged Golden Cicada let out a shrill, mournful cry, the beating of its six thin wings gradually weakening.
It crashed heavily to the ground, its golden light rapidly dimming.
Bibi Dong withdrew her Death Domain, turned toward the distant ancient tree, and called, "It's almost done for."
"Use your Dark Gold Dreadclaw to deliver the final blow."
Gui Yuan darted out from behind the tree and reached the Six-Winged Golden Cicada with a few Shadow Steps.
The large golden insect lay on its side, its three pairs of wings still trembling faintly, but it had completely lost the ability to resist.
He raised his right palm, and dark-golden light covered his entire hand.
At Gui Yuan's suggestion, that mysterious giant bear had simply been named the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, so this External Soul Bone was naturally called the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Right Palm Bone as well.
He aimed at the largest wound in the Six-Winged Golden Cicada's carapace and brought his right palm down sharply.
The Dark Gold Dreadclaw's five claw rays plunged precisely into the wound. The Six-Winged Golden Cicada's body convulsed violently twice, then went completely limp.
A black Soul Ring slowly emerged from its corpse.
Bibi Dong had already released her Martial Soul Possession. She told Gui Yuan, "Absorb it. I'll stand guard for you."
In truth, Bibi Dong's appearance just now had not really counted as true Martial Soul Possession, because she had only grown eight translucent spider legs from her back.
Her Martial Soul Possession form should have been half-human, half-spider.
