Led by the two powerful figures, Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan, the group headed straight for the core area of Star Dou Great Forest.
Although the core area of Star Dou Great Forest is vast, the number of Soul Beast living here is far less than that in the outer mixed area.
Hundred-Year Soul Beast are almost extinct here, and even thousand-year- Thousand-Year Soul Beast are quite rare. Ten -Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are the main feature here, and it's not impossible for some incredibly lucky individuals to encounter Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
A Soul Beast that can possess a small territory in this region must have a cultivation level of at least 30,000 years.
Due to the tight schedule, they decided not to waste time on the outskirts and went straight to the core area of Star Dou Great Forest.
Dugu Bo's current Soul Power cultivation level has stabilized at Level 94, while Ye Linyuan's cultivation level is also approaching Level 90.
According to his own estimation, he would be able to complete the breakthrough smoothly through the Soul Core Method within the next year or two.
With the configuration of their Soul Hunting team, as long as they don't venture too deep into the true core area of Star Dou Great Forest, which is the Great Ferocious Land, they can succeed.
While it wouldn't be to say that one can roam freely in this Star Dou Great Forest without any hindrance, it's close enough.
Lin Mo and his two companions walked in the middle of the group. The trees in the core area were much taller than those in the outer area, their canopies blocking out the sun, with only dappled sunlight filtering through the gaps.
Dugu Bo walked at the forefront, his aura as Titled Douluo subtly emanating from him, intimidating the Soul Beast lurking in the shadows.
Ye Linyuan followed at the back of the group, his Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul already quietly released, a gentle healing light enveloping everyone, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling walked side by side beside Lin Mo, both of them appearing quite nervous.
Dugu Yan, in particular, was filled with anticipation as she was about to acquire her Fifth Soul Ring.
"Grandpa, how much longer do we have to walk?" Dugu Yan asked.
Without turning his head, Dugu Bo replied, "Soon. If I remember correctly, there's a poisonous swamp not far away, where there's a high probability that Poison-type Soul Beast suitable for you will inhabit."
Ye Lingleng gently held Dugu Yan's hand and whispered, " Yanyan, don't worry."
97
Soon, it was the second day since they entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
The group stopped at the edge of the core area of Star Dou Great Forest.
Before them lay a swamp shrouded in a pale purple mist, the air thick with a fishy stench.
"This is it." Dugu Bo stopped, his emerald eyes scanning the depths of the swamp.
The group cautiously advanced deeper into the swamp.
The deeper they went, the denser the poisonous fog became, and the lower the visibility became.
Fortunately, Dugu Bo, an expert in poisons, was there. He easily used his Soul Power Soul Power to create a protective shield, isolating the surrounding poisonous mist from the outside.
After advancing for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a rustling sound suddenly came from the swamp ahead.
Immediately afterwards, a massive figure slowly rose from the swamp.
It was a giant centipede-shaped Soul Beast, over ten meters long, with a dark purple body and a metallic sheen on its carapace.
It has a curved, sharp horn on each side of its head, and its mouth opens and closes to reveal gleaming white fangs.
What is most striking are the rows of sharp bone spurs on its back and the deep purple poisonous mist that permeates its body.
" Myriad Poison Centipede Dragon."
Dugu Bo recognized the origin of this Soul Beast at a glance. "Its cultivation level is around 16,000 years. It's Poison-type sub -Subdragon Soul Beast, which is very suitable for you."
Dugu Yan's eyes were filled with excitement. "This is it!"
The Myriad Poison Centipede Dragon clearly Frisk the intrusion of these uninvited guests. It let out a hoarse growl, and its massive body twisted in the swamp, stirring up waves of mud.
Dugu Bo turned to Lin Mo: "Kid, let your Charizard make its move, let's finish this quickly."
Lin Mo nodded, a thought flickering in his mind.
A flash of Red light, Charizard instantly appeared above the swamp.
It let out a low growl, spread its Dual Wingbeat, and five Soul Ring slowly rotated beneath its feet. The Soul Ring Configuration made the Myriad Poison Centipede Dragon instinctively feel threatened.
Without hesitation, the Charizard flapped its Dual Wingbeat, and several wind blades appeared out of thin air, then precisely slashed at the legs on both sides of the Myriad Poison Centipede Dragon's body.
"Hiss--!"
The Myriad Poison Centipede Dragon let out a painful hiss. The Charizard's movements were simply too fast; it didn't even have time to dodge.
The legs that supported his movement on both sides of his body were severed by seventy percent of the Air Slash, causing his massive body to lose its balance and crash heavily into the swamp.
The Charizard continued its movements, opening its mouth to Spit Up a beam of blazing white flame.
Fire Spin!
The Myriad Poison Centipede Dragon struggled to break free, but having lost most of its legs, it was unable to move and could only frantically attack the surrounding flames in an attempt to escape.
However, Charizard gave it no chance to fight back.
It swooped down, its Dragon Claw flashing with lightning, and struck the head of the Myriad Poison Centipede Dragon with a powerful Thunder Punch strike.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, cracks appeared on the head armor of the Myriad Poison Centipede Dragon, and dark purple blood seeped out from the cracks.
It let out a mournful howl, its struggles gradually weakened, and it finally collapsed in the Fire Spin.
The entire process, from the Charizard's attack to the Myriad Poison Centipede Dragon losing its ability to resist, took no more than three minutes.
Dugu Yan was dumbfounded.
The Charizard's attack was incredibly fast, far exceeding Dugu Yan's expectations.
A Subdragon Soul Beast with 16,000 years of cultivation and the Poison-type would be quite troublesome even for most Six-Ring Soul Emperor.
But it couldn't even last three minutes against Charizard, and that was just Charizard in its normal state.
Lin Mo looked at Dugu Yan: " Sister Yanyan, it's your turn."
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Charizard immediately dispelled the Fire Spin.
Dugu Yan snapped out of her daze, drew a dagger from her waist, strode to the Myriad Poison Centipede Dragon, raised the dagger, aimed at the crack on the Myriad Poison Centipede Dragon, and forcefully stabbed it down.
The dagger plunged into its skull, Myriad Poison Centipede Dragon's body convulsed violently before falling completely silent.
A deep Black Soul Ring slowly rose from its corpse and hovered in mid-air.
Dugu Yan sat down cross-legged, circulated her Soul Power, and drew the Black Soul Ring to herself.
The process of absorbing the Fifth Soul Ring went much more smoothly than expected.
Perhaps because the attributes of the Myriad Poison Centipede Dragon and her Jade Phosphor Dragon Martial Soul were extremely compatible, Dugu Yan successfully absorbed her Fifth Soul Ring in just two hours.
When she opened her eyes, the fluctuations of her Soul Power were noticeably stronger.
Five Soul Ring rose from beneath her feet: two yellow, two purple, and one black.
" Level 52." A joyful smile appeared on Dugu Yan's face. "And now my Fifth Soul Skill is called Jade Phosphor Green Poison. Now I finally have all five Jade Phosphor Five Poisons!"
Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction. " With Jade Phosphor Five Poisons in Bilin, Yanyan, your current strength is undoubtedly among the best of Soul Master level."
Dugu Bo looked around, his brows furrowing slightly. " Yanyan's Soul Ring is dealt with; next up is Lin Mo."
"We may need to venture a bit deeper. It's very difficult to find the 60,000-year-old Soul Beast that Lin Mo needs in this outer area."
Ye Linyuan nodded. "Indeed, even in this area, 60,000-year-old Soul Beast are rare; most of them inhabit deeper areas."
Lin Mo was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's continue. Time is of the essence; we don't have many options."
After a short rest, the group set off again, heading deeper into the core area of Star Dou Great Forest.
With the presence of the Titled Douluo Dugu Bo, no other Soul Beast dared to approach and disturb them along the way.
The process of going deeper went more smoothly, and the environment deep inside the core area was actually quieter than the periphery.
There are fewer Soul Beast here, but each one possesses immense strength and a strong sense of territory.
They will not easily leave their own territory, but they will also not easily trespass into the territory of other Soul Beast.
This means that as long as Lin Mo and his group avoid areas where powerful Soul Beast are obviously present, they can travel relatively safely through the core area.
