On the other side, Tang Feng had a thought, and with a "whoosh" sound, a pair of wide and magnificent dragon wings burning with blood-red flames suddenly unfolded behind him. These were Tang Feng's External Soul Bone, the ' Flame Dragon Wings '.
Tang Feng looked at Zhu Zhuqing and extended his hand. " Zhu Zhuqing, let's go."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Tang Feng's outstretched hand, a strange light flashing in her eyes. Without hesitation, she gently placed her hand on his.
Tang Feng gently pulled her closer to his side. To facilitate flight and maintain stability, Zhu Zhuqing naturally leaned closer, one hand still held by Tang Feng, while the other hand rested lightly on Tang Feng's waist.
The warm, masculine aura wafted over her, and although it wasn't the first time Tang Feng had carried her on a flight, it still caused a faint blush to rise uncontrollably on her cool cheeks, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.
The distance between the two instantly closed, so close that they could feel each other's body temperature. Tang Feng felt the other's explosive physique and rising body temperature, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.
But the next moment, Tang Feng cleared his mind and shouted, "Hold on tight!"
The Flame Dragon Wings suddenly flapped with all their might!
"Boom!!!"
A powerful lift, accompanied by a scorching heatwave, suddenly erupted! Tang Feng, carrying Zhu Zhuqing, shot into the sky like an arrow released from a bow, leaving a dazzling trail of blood-red flame in the air.
Two streaks of light, one red and one gold, pierced the sky and sped toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
With the extreme speed of the Flame Dragon Wings and Tang Lie 'Titled Douluo- level flying ability, the four of them traversed a long distance in just half a day and arrived at the familiar, perpetually noisy, and adventurous town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Continuous high-speed flight, coupled with the need to protect Zhu Zhuqing, took a considerable toll on Tang Feng, whose Soul Power Level was still at the Soul Emperor level.
After landing, Tang Feng retracted his Flame Dragon Wings, a hint of fatigue barely perceptible on his face. Tang Lie noticed this and calmly said, "It's getting late, and the Star Dou Great Forest is even more dangerous at night. Let's rest here tonight, eat and sleep well, and enter the forest again tomorrow morning."
No one objected. They checked into the best inn in town and then went to a familiar restaurant for a hearty meal of Soul Beast to replenish their strength.
Nothing was said that night; we rested and recharged.
The next morning, as dawn broke, the four quietly left the town and entered the vast and ancient Star Dou Great Forest.
The search for the " Heaven and Earth Creation Beast " was not easy. Tang Feng could only narrow down the search area based on his vague memories from many years ago and his speculations about its habits.
Tang Lie's powerful mental energy spread out like a net, filtering through the complex atmosphere of the forest. Zhu Zhuqing, relying on the Hell Spirit Cat's keen senses and now superior speed, scouted ahead.
After searching for five whole days and traversing several dangerous areas, just as everyone was starting to feel a little anxious, Tang Lie made a discovery.
"Near the berry bushes by the Moonlight Lake ahead, there's an unusual energy fluctuation, very subtle, yet carrying a lively aura," Tang Lie suddenly stopped and transmitted his voice.
The group perked up and silently moved in to surround them. Sure enough, they spotted their target among a berry bush by the lake, covered in tiny silver flowers.
A Soul Beast the size of a small deer, with fur displaying ever-changing chaotic colors, and a strange crystal on its forehead resembling a swirling nebula.
It was gracefully munching on berries, its aura not strong, but the strange feeling of being detached from its surroundings, as if it might blend into the background at any moment, was exactly the characteristic Tang Feng described.
"That's it! The Heaven and Earth Creation Beast, which is about 6,500 years old!" Tang Feng said in a low voice, a look of joy flashing in his eyes.
"Grandpa, you don't need to intervene this time." Tang Feng looked at Tang Lie, then said to Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar, " Zhu Zhuqing, Little Ao, this Heaven and Earth Creation Beast isn't very aggressive, but it's extremely cunning and adept at escaping through illusion. This hunt will mainly rely on the two of you working together. Zhu Zhuqing, you need practical experience to hone your new Soul Skill and External Soul Bone; Little Ao, you also need to find an opportunity to deliver the final blow under pressure. We will blockade the perimeter to prevent it from escaping."
Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar exchanged a glance and nodded emphatically. This was an excellent opportunity for experience.
Tang Lie nodded slightly, and he and Tang Feng spread out in tacit understanding. Their powerful auras subtly formed an encirclement, blocking the possible escape routes of the Heaven and Earth Creation Beast.
The battle, or rather the pursuit, began. Just as Tang Feng had predicted, the Heaven and Earth Creation Beast's combat power was mediocre, but its "creation" ability was truly troublesome.
As Zhu Zhuqing approached like Gui Mei, it swayed and instantly transformed into an ordinary berry bush, its aura indistinguishable from its surroundings.
When Oscar attempted to attack with his Golden Cudgel, it transformed into a streak of light, Simulation the aura of a Moonlight Deer not far away, and darted toward the lake.
On one occasion, it even transformed into Tang Feng's appearance, attempting to deceive Zhu Zhuqing. Although it was quickly exposed, given that Tang Feng was watching from nearby, it was enough to demonstrate the exquisite skill of its transformation.
Zhu Zhuqing was worried that the Dark Gold Dreadclaw's attack power was too strong and that she might accidentally kill it. So most of the time, she relied on her speed, stealth ability, and perception to keep a close watch on its ever-changing tracks.
Oscar, completely focused, kept wielding his Golden Cudgel, attacking according to Zhu Zhuqing's instructions, and trying his best to cooperate with Zhu Zhuqing to compress the space in which the Heaven and Earth Creation Beast could move.
This was a contest of patience, skill, and perception. After nearly an hour of maneuvering, just as the Heaven and Earth Creation Beast transformed back into a lakeside rock and its aura almost completely subsided, a flash of dark golden light appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. Her right palm, the " Dark Gold Dreadclaw," suddenly shot out, swiftly and accurately slicing across the edge of the "rock" with a hint of ghostly aura!
"Squeak!!!" With a painful scream, the illusion shattered, and the true form of the Heaven and Earth Creation Beast appeared. A shallow wound appeared on its hind leg, enough to affect its movement. Its chaotic fur was stained with a strand of dark gold. Its proud ability to transform seemed to be affected as a result, and its figure flickered.
An opportunity! Oscar was already poised to strike. At Tang Feng's signal, he no longer hesitated. Before the effects of his Third Soul Skill, " Rapid Flying Mushroom Sausage," had completely worn off, Oscar's speed increased dramatically. He instantly rushed to the injured Heaven and Earth Creation Beast and delivered a powerful blow, imbued with his own Soul Power, to its vital point!
The Heaven and Earth Creation Beast let out a mournful cry, collapsed to the ground, and quickly lost its life. A strange purple Soul Ring, its color constantly shifting among the seven hues and radiating a rich aura of creation and change, slowly rose up.
Oscar, unable to hide his excitement, looked at Tang Feng. Tang Feng nodded. "Go ahead, Little Ao."
Oscar sat down cross-legged and began to absorb. The energy of the Soul Ring had a peculiar "change" attribute. It was not violent, but it was as pervasive as flowing water, testing the absorber's precise control over Soul Power and understanding of the concept of "creation".
Fortunately, Oscar was quick-witted and had a deep understanding of the essence of Food-type Martial Soul. In addition, the previous enhancement of his physique by Whale Rubber made the absorption process novel but not risky.
Two hours later, Oscar opened his eyes, a flash of seven-colored light seemingly passing through them, and his entire demeanor seemed to have gained a touch of wondrous dynamism. Oscar had successfully broken through and become a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor!
" Little Ao, how much has your Soul Power increased? What is your Soul Skill?" Tang Feng asked impatiently, and everyone gathered around.
Oscar's face showed a mixture of excitement and disbelief. He stretched out his right hand, his Soul Power surging, and a peculiar Sausage, winding like a rainbow and emitting a hazy halo, slowly took shape in his palm.
" Soul Power level 42, Fourth Soul Skill, called ' Heaven and Earth Creation Sausage '." Oscar's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement. "Creating it requires approximately 10% of my Soul Power. The person who eats this Sausage can choose to trigger one of the following two effects:
First, the creation of physical objects: the consumer can temporarily 'create' a non-living object through their will, an object whose internal structure they fully understand. For example, a sturdy suit of armor, a sharp sword, and even the Ruyi Jingu Bang you gave me!
Oscar said that this example was clearly influenced by the staff techniques that Tang Feng taught him.
"The created object possesses corresponding physical properties and can be used normally, but it can only exist for a maximum of half an hour."
