A few days later, Bibi Dong led Gui Yuan and Hu Liena to a valley in the Mixed Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.
This valley is located between two low hills, with a low-lying terrain and dense vegetation.
A layer of pale blue miasma permeated the valley entrance, carrying a faint herbal scent; inhaling it caused a slight numbing sensation.
Bibi Dong stopped, her gaze sweeping over the miasma ahead, and raised her hand to signal the two to stop.
There's something inside.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her purplish-black Soul Power formed a protective shield, blocking the miasma from entering.
The three stepped into the valley. The soil beneath their feet was damp and soft, leaving shallow footprints.
The surrounding trees Entanglement with bluish-gray vines, and fine water droplets clung to the leaves, reflecting a faint glow in the dim light.
After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a very faint sound suddenly came from the bushes ahead.
The sound was so soft, like the wind rustling through the grass, that the three of them would hardly have noticed it had they not remained vigilant.
A figure slowly emerged from behind the bushes.
It was twice the size of an ordinary fox, and its fur was a pale blue color, giving off a cold, eerie sheen in the dim valley.
A layer of translucent blue flames burned all over his body. The flames had no temperature, but they carried a kind of fluctuation that made people feel dizzy.
Its pupils are a rare silvery-white, like two cool jade stones embedded in its eye sockets.
At the tip of its tail was a cluster of solid blue flames, like an ever-burning lamp.
It moves silently, leaving no trace on the wet mud with its four paws.
This is the Azure Flame Nether Fox they are looking for!
Bibi Dong's gaze lingered on it for two seconds, then she turned to the two of them and said, "This Azure Flame Nether Fox is around 20,000 years old. You two are responsible for capturing it yourselves."
Gui Yuan and Hu Liena exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.
The 20,000-year-old Azure Flame Nether Fox possesses strength equivalent to Six-Ring Soul Emperor and Spiritual Power approaching that of Soul Saint.
But for Hu Liena and Gui Yuan, it meant nothing.
Hu Liena's Martial Soul, the Demon Fox, specializes in Spiritual Power. With her level 50 and the enhancement of the 60,000-year-old Spirit Condensing Charm Skull, her Spiritual Power is comparable to that of Soul Douluo.
Taking down this Azure Flame Nether Fox is no problem at all.
As for Gui Yuan, any Spiritual Power attacks or controls are ineffective against him.
"I'll go first," Hu Liena said softly.
She took a step forward, and her Demon Fox Martial Soul was instantly released, with four Soul Ring slowly rising beneath her.
The Third Soul Ring suddenly lit up. " Third Soul Skill, Demon Fox Transformation!"
A phantom of a fox tail unfolded behind her, and her fire attribute and Spiritual Power increased by 100% simultaneously.
A pink halo appeared in Hu Liena's pupils, and her Spiritual Power enveloped the Azure Flame Nether Fox like invisible tentacles.
The Azure Flame Nether Fox reacted extremely quickly.
The moment it sensed mental pressure, the blue flames around it surged, and a fierce glint flashed in its silvery-white pupils.
It opened its mouth, and a pillar of blue fire shot towards Hu Liena.
The pillar of fire contained an extremely strong mental burning power. If an ordinary Soul Master were hit by it, he would suffer a mental shock at best, and lose consciousness at worst.
But Hu Liena was prepared.
She shifted her feet and turned to the side, narrowly avoiding the direct impact of the pillar of fire.
At the same time, he condensed a high-density crimson flame energy ball in his right hand and flung it toward the Azure Flame Nether Fox.
The Flame Ball traced an arc in mid-air and struck the Azure Flame Nether Fox in the side.
boom!
The Azure Flame Nether Fox was blasted back two steps, letting out a low growl.
A flash of anger crossed its silvery-white pupils, and with a swift movement, it transformed into a streak of blue light and pounced towards Hu Liena.
They moved incredibly fast, arriving in front of Hu Liena almost in the blink of an eye.
But just as it was about to pounce on Hu Liena, the corners of Hu Liena's mouth curled up slightly.
Her eyes had turned completely pink.
" Fourth Soul Skill, Mental Detonation!"
A surge of concentrated spiritual flame shot out from between her brows, instantly striking the Azure Flame Nether Fox in the face.
The first effect is mental shock.
The Azure Flame Nether Fox's movements suddenly froze, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on its face.
The second effect is a burning sensation in the mind.
A blue flame ignited in its Sea of Consciousness, constantly scorching its consciousness.
The Azure Flame Nether Fox let out a sharp wail, its massive body trembling violently, and a flicker of fear flashed in its silvery-white pupils.
At the very instant it was controlled by the Mental Detonation, Gui Yuan moved.
He raised his right hand, Netherworld Power condensed and compressed in his palm, instantly forming a Shadow Ball.
"Go."
The Shadow Ball flew out of his hand and struck the Azure Flame Nether Fox precisely at its hind leg joint.
The Azure Flame Nether Fox let out a muffled groan, its hind legs buckled, and it lost its balance.
Hu Liena seized the opportunity, conjuring an even larger Flame Ball with her right hand and compressing it to its maximum.
"Let's end this."
The Flame Ball flew out of his hand and struck the Azure Flame Nether Fox directly in the head.
boom!
The Azure Flame Nether Fox's body was blasted backward, tumbling twice in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
It struggled to stand up, but the injury to its legs and the burning sensation in its mind made it unable to even stand steadily.
Hu Liena stepped forward, her First Soul Ring lit up, and a Foxfire precisely entered its head.
The Azure Flame Nether Fox's body stiffened abruptly, then went completely limp, and a jet-black Soul Ring slowly rose from its corpse.
Hu Liena looked at the Soul Ring, let out a long sigh, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"Finally... I can get my Fifth Soul Ring."
Her tone was filled with undisguised joy.
It has been almost two months since we set off from the Spirit Hall to hunt Soul Beast.
It's fair to say that hunting Soul Beast to absorb Soul Ring is indeed tedious and time-consuming. But if you can obtain Soul Ring that satisfies you, then it's all worth it.
Hu Liena then sat cross-legged beside the corpse of the Azure Flame Nether Fox, took a deep breath, and began to draw upon the black Soul Ring.
Gui Yuan and Bibi Dong stood guard to the side.
The Soul Ring slowly descended and entered Hu Liena's body. The moment it entered, Hu Liena frowned slightly.
The energy impact of the 20,000-year Soul Ring was far more intense than she had anticipated, but she had experience absorbing Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring before, and with her extremely high Spiritual Power, she quickly calmed herself down.
A day passed, Hu Liena's absorption of the Soul Ring stabilized.
But at that moment, a blue light emanated from Hu Liena's tailbone.
The light grew brighter and brighter, gradually coalescing into a blue fox tail.
Its tail was entirely pale blue, with a cluster of solid blue flames burning at the tip, just like the tail of that Azure Flame Nether Fox!
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted. "It's actually External Soul Bone!"
