Douluo: Make a gun first

Chapter 77: Soul Hunting, Ten Thousand Years Mandala

Although there are no hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Sunset Forest, there are quite a few ten-thousand-year soul beasts. At least there are still many soul beasts under fifty thousand years old.

Shen Feng only needs a fourth ring between 30000 and 40000 years.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to absorb spirit rings of higher ages, but his mental strength is not up to the requirements.

After condensing the dual soul cores of water and fire, his physical fitness is comparable to that of a seven-ring soul saint, his physical defense is comparable to that of an eight-ring soul douluo, and his meridians are comparable to those of a titled douluo.

But he is only a level 40 quasi-soul master now after all. His mental power has just reached the level of externalization, which is not enough to support him to absorb higher-level spirit rings.

A soul beast of 30000 to 40000 years old, comparable to a Soul Saint, is already his limit.

As for the magical herb 'Wangchuanqiushuilu' in the original novel that can enhance mental strength, Dugu Bo gave it directly to Dugu Yan after he figured out the medicinal properties.

However, Shen Feng did not feel it was a pity. After all, Dugu Yan absorbed the fourth ring of 6500 years and crossed the level.

Although it only exceeded the fourth soul ring's absorption limit by 1500 years, these 1500 years were more valuable than the time in the original novel when Tang San successfully absorbed the fourth soul ring after refining the 'Longing Autumn Water Dew'.

Of course, this is not to discredit Tang San at all, but Dugu Yan is one of us after all. As long as our people make a profit, it is worth it even if it exceeds one year.

The precious fragrance of Acacia Heartbreak Red spread rapidly, and soon Shen Feng and Dugu Bo sensed the movement of the soul beast approaching.

Shen Feng’s strength was relatively low and his perception was not very clear, so he looked up at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo frowned slightly: "Most of them are hundred-year-old soul beasts, not very useful."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo had already disappeared from the spot. Only then did his voice slowly come out.

"You two wait here for a moment. I will set up a poison formation to keep soul beasts under ten thousand years old out."

Watching Dugu Bo disappear before his eyes, Shen Feng was slightly stunned and exclaimed: "The old man's strength has become stronger. I can only see his afterimage as he leaves."

Dugu Yan looked at Shen Feng in disbelief: "Grandpa has already broken through to level 93 after absorbing the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd. How could you actually see him leaving?"

"Monster, you are such a monster."

Shen Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. Fortunately, the old man is loyal and righteous. If he had really had any bad intentions yesterday, I would probably have had no choice but to hide in the eyes of the Yin-Yang and Yin-Yang.

As expected, none of the Titled Douluo are easy to deal with. You cannot be arrogant and must continue to develop in a sneaky way.

But what about Qian Renxue's invitation? Not going? She also has two Titled Douluo around her.

Now that they have sent me an invitation, I'm afraid they have already sent people to the Soul Hunting Town, and they may have even checked out my background thoroughly.

Should they expose her directly at all costs? Or should they let the old man get rid of those two Titled Douluo?

Not to mention whether the old man could kill two people of the same level in a one-on-two fight, he couldn't kill her just by exposing her, and he also had to prevent her from retaliating in the future.

More importantly, her undercover work in the Tiandou Empire is completely harmless to me. If I rashly expose her, I won't gain much benefit and will put myself in danger.

What a hassle.

Forget it, I will just have to let the old man stay with me for a while and protect my life.

I guess a small person like me shouldn't be given too much attention by her.
"Xiao Feng, what are you thinking about? A suitable soul beast is coming."

At some point, Dugu Bo had returned and woke up Shen Feng, who was still thinking and absent-minded.

Shen Feng raised his head and looked not far away, and suddenly found a huge brown bear with a body length of more than seven meters, a shoulder height of nearly three meters, and a white crescent on its chest. It was drooling and glaring at Dugu Bo, but it didn't dare to approach. It was also attracted by the precious aura of Acacia Heartbreak Red and lingered there, refusing to leave.

"Moonlight Barbarian Bear, about 30000 years, how about that? Do you want it?"

Shen Feng thought for a moment, "The age is a bit low, and the attributes are not suitable. I will keep it as a backup for now. If there is no better soul beast, I will choose it."

Dugu Bo nodded without asking any more questions. His soul power surged and he waved his hand to summon four earth walls filled with emerald green poisonous mist, trapping the Moonlight Bear inside.

"roar~"

The 30000-year-old Moonlight Bear just roared once, and was immediately knocked down by the poison released by Dugu Bo. The inside of the earth wall also instantly became quiet.

Shen Feng gave Dugu Bo a thumbs up and said, "Old man, you have come up with even more tricks."

Dugu Bo laughed and said, "Thanks to you, after refining the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, I now have the dual attributes of earth and poison."

"It's just that I'm not familiar with controlling the earth element, so I need to coordinate with the poison mist to control it."

"After I become proficient in this, my control, defense, and attack abilities will undergo a dramatic change."

When it comes to the evolution of martial soul, Dugu Bo is always very happy. He shows off to Shen Feng incessantly and even explains his strengths and weaknesses.

Shen Feng knew that this was a complete expression of Dugu Bo's trust in him.

"Huh? Yanyan, your soul beast is here."

Suddenly, Dugu Bo, who was speaking, looked happy and turned to look at the bushes nearby.

Shen Feng and Dugu Yan also looked over.

I saw a bright yellow python with a triangular head, thigh thickness, and nearly 12 meters long, slowly emerging from the bushes. Faintly, there seemed to be a bit more fishy smell in the air, accompanied by a light sweetness and a hint of tea fragrance.

Seeing the bright yellow python appear, Dugu Yan's eyes lit up and he shouted in great joy: "Grandpa, this is it. I want it to be my fifth soul ring."

It’s no wonder that Dugu Yan was excited, because what appeared in front of them at this moment was a mandrake snake.

The venom of the Mandrake Snake is extremely strong. It not only has a paralyzing effect, but is also highly destructive to the body's nerves. It is one of the most terrifying among poisonous soul beasts.

Their bodies are extremely tough and difficult to be damaged by ordinary swords and knives. They are also extremely fast and are the best among all snake soul beasts.

According to the Soul Beast Illustrated Book (Kuaidong Encyclopedia), before the Mandragora Snakes have cultivated for a thousand years, their bodies are dark green and grow one meter every hundred years. When they have cultivated for nearly a thousand years, their body length can reach nearly ten meters.

Once they exceed a thousand years, their own strength will be concentrated and they will shed their skin continuously. Not only will the color of their bodies change from dark green to pink, but their length will also shrink to one meter, and then grow one meter every hundred years.

After two thousand years of cultivation, the pink color deepened as it shrank back again.

A ten thousand year old Mandrake Snake will turn yellow, and its body will break through its limits. On the basis of 10 meters, it will grow one meter every ten thousand years, showing the characteristics of gigantic size.

The one in front of everyone was bright yellow in color and nearly 12 meters long. It was a ten thousand year old Mandrake snake that was less than years old.

Although it is somewhat beyond the limit of 12,000 years for the fifth soul ring, Dugu Yan's fourth soul ring is for super-limit absorption. It should be no problem for the fifth soul ring to absorb this Mandrake Snake which is less than 20,000 years old.

With Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo at level 93, it was easy to defeat the mere -year-old Mandragora Snake.

In order to prevent Dugu Yan from being disturbed when absorbing the soul ring, Dugu Bo set up another poison array in the area where the three of them were.

Afterwards, Dugu Yan sat cross-legged on the ground to absorb the soul ring of the Mandragora Snake, while Shen Feng and Dugu Bo continued to wait for a soul beast that was suitable for him.

An hour passed in a flash, the precious fragrance of Acacia Heartbreak Red gradually dissipated, and Shen Feng still hadn't waited for the soul beast that suited him.

Although there were several soul beasts between 30,000 and 40,000 years old that were attracted by the precious fragrance of Acacia Heartbreak Red, their attributes were not as suitable as that of the Moonlight Wild Bear.

At least the Moonlight Bear is a strength-type soul beast, but it’s hard to describe the other soul beasts in a few words.

"How about waiting for Yanyan to finish absorbing it, and then we go to another place and try again?" Dugu Bo suggested.

Shen Feng shook his head: "Forget it, when we soul masters absorb soul rings, how can we find soul beasts that are 100% compatible?"

"It's already pretty good to have a 50% match. The strength of this Moonlight Savage Bear is also pretty good. It should be able to add a good soul skill to me."

Dugu Bo frowned slightly: "Don't you want to consider it again? If it were any other soul master, it would be really good to have a 50% compatibility."

"But with your talent, 50% compatibility is really too much of a waste."

"How about I ask Yanyan to find that kid from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and have him take you to the Thunder Mountain Range controlled by their Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. There are many thunder-attributed soul beasts there, and you will definitely find a soul beast that suits you."

Shen Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Old man, look at my spirit ring configuration and the age of the spirit ring I want to absorb."

"Do you think that if I really went to their Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect with Yu Tianheng, would I be able to come back intact?"

Dugu Bo was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

According to the nature of these major forces on Douluo Continent, if they see a talented soul master and cannot win him over, they will definitely eliminate him first.

It would be fine if Shen Feng was just an innate full soul power. After all, Dugu Bo is a Titled Douluo and can definitely protect Shen Feng.

However, the age of the soul rings that Shen Feng has absorbed now is indeed too shocking.

If those powerful forces knew about Shen Feng's specific situation, even if Shen Feng didn't die in the future, he would definitely not have peace.

"Forget it, let's do as you say. You have too many secrets, so it's really not advisable to take risks."

"After all, only living geniuses are geniuses. Dead ones are just a handful of dirt."

Shen Feng smiled slightly and said, "The old man is right."

"In that case, please release the Moonlight Wild Bear."

Dugu Bo nodded, stretched out his hand and sent out a stream of soul power, causing the earth wall that trapped the Moonlight Bear to collapse, revealing the Moonlight Bear sleeping peacefully inside.

The soul power surged, and a huge hand made of mud took shape under Dugu Bo's will, grabbed the body of the Moonlight Bear, and sent it in front of Shen Feng.

Purple lightning gushed out from Shen Feng's right hand, and the Thunder Sword appeared.

Stepping on the huge head of the Moonlight Bear, Shen Feng raised the Thunder Knife and pointed the tip of the knife at the Moonlight Bear's vulnerable eyes.

Soul power surged, and the Thunder Blade suddenly lit up with a sharp blade.
"Xiao Feng, wait a minute!"

Just when Shen Feng was about to take action, Dugu Bo stopped Shen Feng in time.

"Look, what is that?"

Shen Feng looked over in confusion, and saw a flash of lightning in the distance.
A giant scorpion with a deep blue exoskeleton and lightning flashing all over its body was silently approaching them through the poisonous fog, and it seemed that it was not afraid of Dugu Bo's poison formation at all.
