Ye Lingling's gaze fell on the Tree of Life not far away, and she unconsciously stopped in her tracks.
But what frightened her was not the Tree of Life itself, but the dozen or so Soul Beast gathered around it.
These Soul Beast varied in form and age, but without exception, they all quietly guarded the Tree of Life.
This is true for most healing-type Soul Beast.
They themselves are not strong in combat, but they can always attract other Soul Beast to gather around them, forming a small ecosystem centered on them. This also means that they are never short of "guardians" around them.
At this moment, the most formidable aura among the group of Soul Beast came from a Ghost Leopard crouching under a tree.
Although Ye Lingling's perception was not precise, she could roughly judge that this Ghost Leopard's cultivation level was probably five or six thousand years.
Under normal circumstances, only Soul King- level expert could reliably defeat Soul Beast of this caliber.
On their side, there were two Soul Elder and one Quasi-Soul Elder had just broken through to level 30 and hadn't yet acquired Soul Ring. In Ye Lingling's view, they had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.
She glanced at Lin Mo instinctively, only to find that he showed no signs of tension, but his bright eyes were now slightly gleaming.
"What, scared?" Lin Mo noticed her gaze, turned his head and asked, his tone slightly teasing.
Ye Lingleng pursed her lips, not denying it.
"That Ghost Leopard —its cultivation level is too high. We can't handle it."
Dugu Yan, standing to the side, also frowned. Although she was confident in her evolved Martial Soul, she wasn't arrogant enough to challenge a thousand-year-old Ghost Leopard with such a high cultivation level.
"How about I go call Grandpa? He can lure Ghost Leopard away, and we'll deal with the rest."
Lin Mo shook his head. "No need to trouble yourself, senior."
His gaze shifted to the Ghost Leopard, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Perfect, I also want to see just how strong the Charmeleon really is now."
He paused, then said, "Leave the Ghost Leopard to the Charmeleon. Sister Yanyan, Sister Lengleng, the three of us will be responsible for holding off the other Soul Beast that try to get close."
He looked specifically at Ye Lingling, " Sister Lengleng, please pay close attention to the Charmeleon's condition later. If its condition drops to a certain level, you need to treat it immediately."
Ye Lingling was stunned for a moment. Let the Charmeleon deal with the five or six thousand-year-old Ghost Leopard alone?
She thought it was too risky.
Looking at Lin Mo's calm yet determined eyes, she hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."
Seeing that she agreed, Lin Mo said no more.
With a thought, a red light flashed, and the Charmeleon appeared beside him.
It also sensed the powerful aura coming from not far away. Instead of being afraid, it let out a low growl and its tail wagged excitedly.
"Go!" Lin Mo shouted in a low voice.
The Third Soul Ring under the Charmeleon's foot lit up instantly, and a scorching aura suddenly spread out from it.
The sky seemed to darken for a moment, then was replaced by even brighter light. Charmeleon's Third Soul Skill, Sunny Day, activated!
The surrounding temperature suddenly rose, and the fire element became unusually active.
The Charmeleon's aura surged, its already formidable presence now imbued with an even more intense sense of Pressure.
However, as the Sunny Day continued, Ye Lingling keenly Frisk that the Charmeleon's own stamina was also slowly decreasing.
She immediately understood the purpose of Lin Mo's instructions, and the pink and white Nine Heart Begonia appeared in her palm, its gentle healing light ready to be released.
Just as Charmeleon's stamina was dropping to its limit, it let out a powerful roar, its momentum surging once more—a Blaze was triggered!
Ye Lingling, who was already prepared, acted in time, and the gentle Life energy of the Nine Heart Begonia landed on the Charmeleon.
Start replenishing its depleted energy, maintaining its condition at an extremely high level.
The commotion here naturally alerted the group of guardian Soul Beast.
The lead Ghost Leopard's eerie green pupils contracted instantly, and its limbs strained violently, transforming its body into a black lightning bolt as it pounced on Charmeleon. Facing the incredibly fast Ghost Leopard, Charmeleon showed no weakness.
Its body instantly erupted in blazing flames, like a meteor enveloped in fire, and it launched a fierce Flare Blitz, crashing head-on into the attack without dodging or avoiding it!
boom!
Two figures, one in red and one in black, Tackle violently, producing a dull, loud bang.
A flicker of human-like horror flashed in the Ghost Leopard's eerie green eyes.
It clearly hadn't expected that this strange dragon beast, whose aura was significantly weaker than its own, would possess such formidable power!
Charmeleon pressed its advantage, its Second Soul Ring lighting up immediately – Dragon Dance!
Its body became more agile, its speed and strength increased, and with a low growl, it charged towards the Ghost Leopard.
It actually started to overpower the Ghost Leopard!
What made Dugu Bo, who was secretly observing, even more nervous was that three other wolf-shaped Soul Beast, each about two or three thousand years old, joined the battle when Ghost Leopard being suppressed, attempting to Beat Up the Charmeleon.
But the Charmeleon was not afraid at all. Within the territory of the Sunny Day, the power of its Fire-type attacks increased dramatically, and the accompanying Solar Power Burn effect made those Soul Beast suffer terribly.
In its Dragon Dance form, it is incredibly agile, and even when facing four opponents, it still maintains the upper hand!
At the same time, Lin Mo and Dugu Yan also made their move.
The other Soul Beast, whose attention had not been drawn to the Charmeleon, charged towards them fiercely upon smelling the presence of living beings.
Leading the pack was a thousand-year-old Tiger Leopard Cat with incredible speed.
Lin Mo took a deep breath, a red light flashed in his eyes, and he began to mobilize the Bloodline Power. A faint red light appeared on the surface of his skin. First-Stage Blood Burst - Boiling Blood, activated!
His power surged instantly.
Lin Mo clenched his right fist and unleashed a punch at the charging Tiger Leopard Cat!
"Bang!"
The thousand-year-old Tiger Leopard Cat's forward lunge came to an abrupt halt, letting out a piercing howl.
It was sent flying backward by the punch, its body crashing heavily into a large tree. When it slid down, blood was flowing from its mouth and nose, and it looked like it was barely breathing.
Lin Mo continued moving, and his rich Bloodline Power rapidly condensed in his palm, instantly transforming into several slender blood spears.
He swung his arms repeatedly, Fling the blood spear, which accurately struck several other Thousand-Year Soul Beast that were trying to approach.
These blood spears share the same origin as the blood needles used to heal and save lives, but now they are filled with a fierce and murderous aura.
Even more bizarrely, the Blood Spear simultaneously unleashed two completely different auras—extreme cold and extreme heat—the moment it struck its target!
"Aww--!"
Without exception, every Soul Beast pierced by the blood spear let out an extremely painful howl in an instant.
Their wounds were half covered in frost and half charred and smoking.
The two extreme energies of ice and fire clashed violently within them, instantly rendering them mostly powerless. They rolled and convulsed on the ground, no longer posing a threat.
This is precisely the ability Lin Mo gained after consuming the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, completing the Ice and Fire Golden Body— his blood energy attacks can be infused with Ice and Fire Poison at will!
On the other side, Dugu Yan also demonstrated the power of the Jade Phosphor Dragon Martial Soul.
Faced with a roaring, charging thousand-year-old wild boar Soul Beast, she did not choose to confront it head-on.
Her Third Soul Ring lit up, and deep purple mist spewed from her mouth, quickly spreading out and enveloping the wild boar Soul Beast.
Jade Phosphor Purple Poison!
The wild boar Soul Beast charged into the poisonous fog, initially with great momentum, but soon its speed slowed down, emitting painful groans, and ulcerated purple spots began to appear on its skin.
Within a dozen or so breaths, it collapsed to the ground with a thud. Its massive body, Corrosion by the purple poison, turned into a pool of foul-smelling pus at a visible speed.
Secretly, Dugu Bo, who had been sensing the battle situation here, couldn't help but open his mouth, his face full of astonishment.
He was still shocked that Charmeleon could suppress Ghost Leopard, even though he had expected it.
Lin Mo's performance, however, completely exceeded his expectations.
He recognized that blood energy; it was used to save lives. How could it, in Lin Mo's hands, be used as wings to fly, condense into a spear for ranged attacks, and even possess such a domineering combination of Ice and Fire Poison?
Just how many tricks is this kid hiding?
He was also impressed by Dugu Yan's side.
The Jade Phosphor Dragon Martial Soul not only retains the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's powerful poison control abilities, but its melee combat capabilities have also been greatly enhanced.
Just now, when faced with the charge of the thousand-year-old wild boar, she was actually able to block it with her Dragon Transformation arms, creating an opportunity to unleash the Jade Phosphor Purple Poison.
Killing a Thousand-Year Soul Beast in a one-on-one battle is quite an impressive feat for a Soul Elder who has only recently advanced to the next level.
Nowadays, Dugu Yan is not only a Control System Soul Master who controls the field with poison, but also a Power Attack System Soul Master, holding two roles.
