Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
Xiao Wu sat on the broad shoulders of the Titan Giant Ape, her hands supporting her chin, her big eyes staring blankly at the emerald green lake in front of her.
Suddenly, a deep rumble came from afar.
Xiao Wu suddenly snapped out of her daze, instinctively sat up straight, and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Titan Giant Ape Er Ming also raised his head, a hint of doubt flashing in his large, bell-like eyes.
The next moment, the water in the center of the Lake of Life suddenly surged upwards, and a huge bull's head emerged from the water.
It was none other than the Sky Azure Bull Python of the Da Ming.
The giant maw of the Da Ming opened wide, emitting a thunderous roar, "Such a commotion... Is Titled Douluo fighting Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Its voice carried a clear surprise. As one of the rulers of the core area of Star Dou Great Forest, it had an exceptionally keen perception of the core area of Star Dou Great Forest.
That roar just now was clearly a collision of ten thousand years, and it also contained the power of a human Soul Master.
Upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes. She pursed her lips, and her hands unconsciously clenched. Er Ming, sitting below her, keenly noticed the change in Xiao Wu's emotions.
It looked at Xiao Wu on its shoulder and asked in a muffled voice, " Sister Xiao Wu, do you want to go out and have a look?"
Although the voice was rough, the tone carried a hint of caution, as if the speaker was protecting some fragile treasure.
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment.
She knew that Da Ming and Er Ming had been protecting her all along, and that they had hardly left the Lake of Life since she returned from the human world.
Although the Star Dou Great Forest is where she grew up, the Star Dou Great Forest, especially the core area outside the Lake of Life, is still an extremely dangerous place for her, whose strength has not yet recovered.
Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast in its infancy will not only attract competition from human Soul Master, but will also ignite the greed of Soul Beast.
But...
The roaring sound made her quite uneasy.
Battles between Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and human Soul Master are not common, but every time one occurs, it means that one of their kind may perish.
Xiao Wu finally nodded gently, "Hmm... I want to go take a look."
Upon hearing this, Da Ming said nonchalantly, "In that case, let's go take a look." Its massive bull head turned to Xiao Wu, its eyes gentle. "I also want to see who dares to hunt down Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like us in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"As for Sister Xiao Wu, with Er Ming and me here, unless someone steps over our two corpses first, there's absolutely no way anyone will be allowed to harm Sister Xiao Wu."
Upon hearing this, Er Ming immediately echoed, raising a huge hand and patting its chest with a dull thud. "That's right! With me and Big Brother here, Sister Xiao Wu, don't worry!"
Its voice was full of confidence.
As the best among Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python are far stronger than their peers. When the two brothers join forces, they can practically roam freely in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Compared to most other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and human Titled Douluo, their strength is so overwhelmingly superior that it's no exaggeration to say they are on a completely different level.
Moreover, the two are brothers, and their teamwork is impeccable. If they were to actually fight, their combined power would be far more than just the sum of its parts.
Upon hearing what Da Ming and Er Ming said, a look of joy appeared on Xiao Wu's face.
She had lived in the human world for a time and was used to its hustle and bustle. While the tranquility of the Star Dou Great Forest was reassuring, it could also make one feel lonely after a while.
Da Ming and Er Ming could naturally tell that Xiao Wu wasn't in a good mood. They knew that Xiao Wu liked lively atmospheres and new experiences.
However, out of concern for Xiao Wu, they dared not allow Xiao Wu to leave the Lake of Life area of Star Dou Great Forest.
Even when they occasionally leave the Lake of Life to relax elsewhere, they always have the two of them by their side. "Let's go then," Da Ming said.
Its massive body slowly rose from the lake, revealing its slender serpentine form.
Er Ming stood up, carefully lifted Xiao Wu from his shoulder into his palm, and then gently placed her on his other shoulder.
Its movements were incredibly gentle, a stark contrast to its enormous size.
" Sister Xiao Wu, hold on tight," Er Ming said in a low voice.
Xiao Wu nodded and grabbed a tuft of hair on Er Ming's shoulder with both hands.
The next moment, two enormous figures rushed towards the direction from which the roaring sound came.
Just as the trio from the Lake of Life were heading to the location of the earlier commotion, the battle between Lin Mo and his group and the Golden Hawksbill Turtle had come to an end.
In the center of the swamp, the massive body of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle lay in the mud, its dark golden shell covered with crisscrossing cracks, the deepest of which almost pierced through the shell completely.
There was a gruesome wound on his neck, from which blood was gushing out, staining the surrounding muddy water a dark red.
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle's small eyes had lost their luster, its pupils dilated, and its Life force had completely vanished. A blood-red Soul Ring was slowly forming on its corpse.
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
The most coveted treasure on the Soul Master' Dream Ranking, an existence that countless Soul Master would never see in their entire lives, is now clearly appearing before everyone's eyes.
Upon seeing this Soul Ring, everyone present couldn't help but swallow hard.
This is Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
At the same time, the guaranteed Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone also appeared!
The combination of these two elements will undoubtedly forge an unparalleled powerhouse!
"Finally, it's resolved..." Lin Mo let out a long breath, his tense nerves finally relaxing.
With a slight thought, the Crimson Blood Flame Dragon Transformation slowly dissipated.
The blazing white flames separated from the blood energy, and the figure of the Charizard reappeared to the side, while Lin Mo also returned to his original appearance.
After dissolving the fusion state, a feeling of exhaustion immediately washed over me.
Lin Mo's face was slightly pale, and his breathing was a little rapid. Facing Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, he had to go all out every second, which was extremely taxing on his spirit and Soul Power.
Even though the Soul Core somewhat compensated for the excessive consumption of Soul Power, he still inevitably fell into a state of exhaustion.
The Charizard let out a low growl, moved closer to Lin Mo, and gently nuzzled him with its head.
Lin Mo raised his hand and touched the Charizard's chin to indicate that he was alright.
On the other side, Dugu Bo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, panting heavily, "This Golden Hawksbill Turtle is really hard to kill..."
"Its defensive capabilities and life-saving methods are simply too numerous. Invincible Shield, Earth Release is a technique that allows one to escape through magic), and that incredibly tough tortoise shell..."
"If Lin Mo hadn't been there to hold it off and restrict its movements, even if I were stronger than it, it would have been very difficult to stop it on my own."
Dugu Bo shook his head as he spoke, "I have a feeling this guy isn't an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. How could an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast be this troublesome?"
Ye Linyuan chuckled, and the pink and white Nine Heart Begonia in his hand shimmered with light, its healing glow falling upon Lin Mo and Dugu Bo.
Warm energy flowed into their bodies, quickly relieving their fatigue and restoring them to their normal state.
" Old Poison is mistaken." Ye Linyuan: "This Golden Hawksbill Turtle's defensive and survival abilities are indeed maxed out. It would be almost impossible for an ordinary Titled Douluo to hunt it down alone."
"However, its offensive capabilities are somewhat weak. This greatly relieved the pressure on me, as I only needed to perform the most basic support work."
"If it had been a more aggressive Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy for me."
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle's attack methods are relatively simple and its power is not very strong. It relies more on defense to wear down its opponent.
This fighting style, on the contrary, allowed Ye Linyuan to provide support with ease.
Lin Mo closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. Under the healing effect of the Nine Heart Begonia, his condition quickly recovered.
About fifteen minutes later, he opened his eyes again, his eyes shining brightly, and his previous fatigue had been completely swept away.
He turned to Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan, and bowed solemnly. "We were able to successfully kill the Golden Hawksbill Turtle this time thanks to the help of my teacher and grandfather."
Dugu Bo waved his hand and laughed, "Alright, enough with the formalities. The important thing is to absorb the Soul Ring."
Lin Mo took a deep breath, his gaze falling on the blood-red Soul Ring, his eyes filled with barely suppressed excitement.
This is his Seventh Soul Ring! Hundred-Thousand-Year Seventh Soul Ring!!
Looking at the entire history of the Douluo Continent, Soul Master who can absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at the Seventh Soul Ring position is an extremely rare existence.
"I'm starting," Lin Mo said in a deep voice.
He and the Charizard walked towards the corpse of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle, sat cross-legged in front of the blood-red Soul Ring, held their breath and focused their minds, and adjusted their state once again.
Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan exchanged a glance, then took a step forward at the same time, standing on either side of Lin Mo a short distance away, warily sensing everything around them.
"Absorb with confidence."
Dugu Bo's voice reached Lin Mo's ears, " Old Ye and I will protect you here; no one will be able to disturb you."
Ye Linyuan did not speak, but the light of the Nine Heart Begonia in his hand had already quietly bloomed, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
Lin Mo nodded, no longer hesitating. The blood-red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring Swallow whole by the Charizard under the pull of its Soul Power.
The absorption of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring has officially begun!
