When an ordinary stick strikes it, it's like hitting an indestructible alloy; it's very difficult to break through the defense.
The Sky-Flying Centipede launched a ferocious attack, tearing and slashing with its mouthparts and sweeping with its tail. Lu Yu, relying on her small size, constantly dodged under the Sky-Flying Centipede, occasionally mobilizing her Soul Power to launch a counterattack. The Great Sage also picked up stones from the ground and threw them at the Sky-Flying Centipede to harass it and relieve the pressure on Lu Yu.
Lu Yu kept moving around, avoiding the densely packed legs and feet, seizing the gaps in the centipede's attacks, and finding the weakest point in its shell. The Ruyi Staff in his hand became as thick as a finger, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly inserted the Ruyi Staff into the gap in the centipede's shell.
With a sharp crack, Lu Yu pierced through the Sky-Flying Centipede's hard shell, and the Sky-Flying Centipede cried out in pain.
roar--
The enormous body struggled violently, while Lu Yu, standing on the Sky-Flying Centipede, Ruyi Staff inserted the Sky-Flying Centipede into its body, trying to penetrate as deeply as possible.
Seeing that it couldn't shake off the annoying bug on its body, the Sky-Flying Centipede changed its strategy, turned its head to look at a big tree and rushed towards it, trying to knock Lu Yu down.
Seeing this, Lu Yu quickly let go, jumped off the Sky-Flying Centipede, rolled twice on the ground, and regained his balance.
The Sky-Flying Centipede's enormous body smashed through the tree, snapping it in two and even penetrating the Ruyi Staff several inches into it.
Lu Yu looked up and immediately roared, "Big--!"
The Ruyi Staff, inserted into the gap in the Sky-Flying Centipede's carapace, instantly flashed with golden light. The staff rapidly expanded and lengthened, its body growing thicker and harder, forcefully forcing open the centipede's hard carapace.
A series of ear-piercing cracking sounds rang out.
The Sky-Flying Centipede, subjected to immense internal force, was instantly wracked with excruciating pain. Its massive body convulsed and writhed wildly, its countless long legs kicking erratically at the ground, and it emitted sharp, piercing screams.
The golden spots on his body, which served as defense, crumbled layer by layer, his carapace cracked continuously, and his flesh was forcibly stretched and torn apart, causing him extreme pain.
Lu Yu shouted again in a deep voice, "Big--!"
The Ruyi Staff expanded once more, its domineering force instantly tearing the centipede's body apart.
The Sky-Flying Centipede convulsed violently, dark green blood flowed from the cave entrance, and its struggles grew weaker and weaker, its life force rapidly fading away.
Lu Yu stood up, brushed the leaves off his clothes, and looked at the dying Sky-Flying Centipede on the ground with disdain, unable to hide his smugness.
Lu Yu did not rush forward, but controlled the Ruyi Staff to continue to grow until it split the Sky-Flying Centipede's body in two. Only when he saw a black Soul Ring appear did Lu Yu feel relieved enough to step forward and examine it.
Putting away his Ruyi Staff, Lu Yu spat at the Sky-Flying Centipede's corpse, "Damn it, Laozi was trying to run away, but you insisted on courting death. Now you've lost your equipment!"
Lu Yu crouched down and carefully examined the Sky-Flying Centipede's carapace. He had never seen a record of Sky-Flying Centipede with golden spots on its body in the Soul Beast Encyclopedia, and he was very curious about what this thing was.
After watching for a while, Lu Yu had a guess in his mind. This Sky-Flying Centipede must have mutated, but isn't the Sky-Flying Centipede a speed-type Soul Beast? Why would it mutate to have defensive skills?
Lu Yu really couldn't understand this.
It was already quite dark around us; through the gaps in the trees, we could only see a hazy, gray sky.
Lu Yu looked down and smiled at the Great Sage who was still baring his teeth at the Sky-Flying Centipede stone.
" The Great Sage is leaving; let's find a safe place to spend the night."
Hearing Lu Yu speak, Great Sage kicked the Sky-Flying Centipede twice, clearly still angry that he had been swept away by its tail earlier.
Lu Yu walked several dozen meters before suddenly stopping, stroking his chin in thought. After a moment of contemplation, he turned back to the corpse of the Sky-Flying Centipede and stopped.
Just now, the Great Sage covered the rear and escaped, but he was still caught up by the Sky-Flying Centipede. Fortunately, the Sky-Flying Centipede's cultivation level was low, and it did not kill him in one blow. If it were stronger, the Great Sage would not have had a chance to defend himself.
Looking at the black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring in front of him, Lu Yu decided to absorb Soul Ring and give it to the Great Sage, so that the Great Sage would also have a Soul Skill that increases movement speed. This way, he could quickly protect himself in times of crisis and prevent what just happened from happening again.
The Whale Rubber he'd consumed over the past three years hadn't been for nothing. Even Lin Tian's level 42 physical body, tempered by lightning, couldn't compare to Lu Yu's. With the added enhancement of his Third Soul Ring, Lu Yu was quite confident in absorbing this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Without further hesitation, Lu Yu retrieved the Great Sage into his body, and his Soul Power instantly rose from level 30 to the threshold of level 40.
He sat cross-legged and began to draw the Soul Ring from the Sky-Flying Centipede.
An hour later, Lu Yu stood up feeling refreshed, without any discomfort. It was similar to absorbing Ten-Year Soul Ring, only it took a little longer.
Sensing his current Soul Power Level, Lu Yu Lu Yu was excited; he had actually reached level 44, which was enough for Soul Power to cultivate for a year.
"Absorbing Soul Ring beyond the age limit still increases Soul Power faster!"
Just as Lu Yu was preparing to calmly perceive his newly unlocked Fourth Soul Skill, a sharp, stabbing pain suddenly shot through his chest.
The pain came on very quickly, dense and numerous, like countless tiny needles burrowing under the skin.
Lu Yu frowned and quickly pulled open her clothes to look down.
He noticed that his chest was covered with dense, evenly distributed, and glossy golden spots, exactly the same as the golden spots on the mutated Sky-Flying Centipede's carapace.
Lu Yu's pupils suddenly brightened, and she instantly realized what was happening.
External Soul Bone!
It was the unique golden defensive markings of the mutated Sky-Flying Centipede that were melted down when I absorbed the Soul Ring, turning into my own exclusive External Soul Bone!
Ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast rarely drop Soul Bone, and External Soul Bone are even rarer, one in ten thousand.
Moreover, it is an extremely rare defensive External Soul Bone.
The overwhelming joy instantly dispelled the fatigue from the previous battle.
Lu Yu suppressed her excitement, immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, and calmed her mind.
His Soul Power circulated slowly, carefully flowing along his blood vessels into the golden spot on his chest, and he began to wholeheartedly refine this unexpected External Soul Bone.
The golden spots then began to glow slightly, Sisi warm energy seeped into Lu Yu's skin and meridians, slowly merging with her skin.
