Chapter 51 Crimson Blood Dragon
The encounter with the Spirit Hall group was just a minor incident.
After they parted ways, Yu Yuanzhen continued to lead Yu Xiaogang on a stroll through the Star Dou Great Forest.
After another ten days or so of searching, they still found nothing.
This aimless search made Yu Xiaogang thankful that they had stored dry rations in their storage soul tools before entering the forest.
Otherwise, given the current situation, they would either have to leave the Star Dou Great Forest to find food elsewhere.
[Or perhaps they would really have to live like Bibi Dong said before, eating raw meat and drinking blood.]
However, this period of peace and tranquility did not last long.
On this very day, as Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xiaogang were eating dry rations and hastily making do with a meal inside a huge tree hollow...
[Sudden.]
["Roar!!!"]
"Gah!!!"
Two deafening roars echoed in succession, and in an instant, Yu Xiaogang's body tensed up.
Upon hearing this voice, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes lit up.
"That sound... is that the Crimson Blood Flying Dragon's cry?"
"This is one of the soul beasts that best meets your requirements, Xiaogang. I just wonder how old it is."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Yuanzhen grabbed Yu Xiaogang and rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.
Yu Xiaogang, being carried, remained calm. Since entering the Star Dou Great Forest, he had experienced this kind of thing far too many times.
So now, even while being carried, he could calmly finish the dry rations in his hand.
[With Yu Yuanzhen walking briskly, it was not long before a dragon-like soul beast with blood-red wings, crimson-gold scales all over its body, and a single horn resembling jade sprouting from its head came into view.]
This soul beast, named Crimson Blood Flying Dragon, was about five meters tall, and its outstretched blood-red wings seemed capable of blotting out the sky.
[However, at this moment, the Crimson Blood Flying Dragon was bleeding profusely from its entire body, and its pair of blood-red wings were tattered and torn.]
The moment Yu Xiaogang saw this spirit beast, his eyes lit up.
"Father, a one-horned one, less than a thousand years old, and its size suggests it's at least five hundred years old!"
Yu Yuanzhen's face also lit up with joy.
[After wandering around the Star Dou Great Forest for so many days, this Crimson Blood Flying Dragon best met the requirements.]
Meanwhile, the Crimson Blood Flying Dragon was fighting a ferocious tiger with a white coat.
[The fierce tiger spirit beast is called the Bloodthirsty White Tiger, and it is considered extremely powerful among tiger-type spirit beasts.]
As a tiger-type spirit beast, it was inherently powerful. Furthermore, the Bloodthirsty White Tiger possessed a bloodthirsty nature, making it even stronger the more intense and frenzied the battle.
Therefore, not many soul masters would want to encounter a soul beast like the Bloodthirsty White Tiger when they did not need it.
Based on his observation, Yu Xiaogang estimated that the Bloodthirsty White Tiger before him was approximately five thousand years old.
"To be able to fight a five-thousand-year-old Bloodthirsty White Tiger, this Crimson Blood Flying Dragon is truly powerful!"
[Yu Xiaogang sighed.]
For a soul beast with less than a thousand years of cultivation to fight a five-thousand-year-old soul beast was far more difficult than a human Soul Master fighting a higher-level opponent.
"This brings us to the topic of bloodlines among spirit beasts."
"A powerful bloodline can fight against a thousand years in a hundred years, and a thousand years can be comparable to ten thousand years."
"Therefore, these powerful soul beasts generally make it easy for Soul Masters to acquire powerful soul skills."
[Yu Yuanzhen observed the situation on the battlefield and said.]
Just as Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xiaogang finished their conversation and were preparing to end the fight, another roar suddenly came from afar.
["Roar!!!!"]
Upon hearing the sound, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze and saw yet another crimson dragon.
Unlike the Crimson Blood Flying Dragon that fought the Bloodthirsty White Tiger, this newly arrived Crimson Blood Flying Dragon was completely unharmed and possessed an even greater aura.
Of course, more importantly, on the top of this Crimson Blood Flying Dragon's head, next to the same jade horn as the previous Crimson Blood Flying Dragon, a small, newly sprouting horn stood upright.
The age of a spirit beast like the Crimson Blood Flying Dragon could be determined by the horn on its head.
Those without horns were less than a hundred years old, while those with only one horn were over a hundred years old.
When a second horn grew, it signified that the Crimson Blood Flying Dragon had become a thousand-year-old soul beast.
The appearance of the third horn signified that it had become a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
[From this, it could be determined that the newly arrived Crimson Blood Flying Dragon was a thousand-year-old soul beast, and judging from its horns, it had only just become a thousand years old.]
"It's only a thousand years old, what a pity. If it were less than a thousand years old, then this Crimson Blood Flying Dragon would be the most suitable for you."
Yu Yuanzhen sighed.
However, what Yu Yuanzhen did not notice was that Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, was staring blankly at the Crimson Blood Flying Dragon that had just reached the age of a thousand.
The thousand-year-old Crimson Blood Flying Dragon joined the battle, fighting alongside the severely wounded Crimson Blood Flying Dragon.
Caught between two Crimson Blood Flying Dragons, the Bloodthirsty White Tiger found itself at a slight disadvantage.
[If it were an ordinary soul beast, it would definitely choose to retreat at this point.]
But the Bloodthirsty White Tiger was different; its fighting spirit only intensified in situations like these.
"Gah!!!"
With a roar, the Bloodthirsty White Tiger attacked the two Crimson Blood Flying Dragons with even greater ferocity.
[Especially the newcomer, which received special attention from it.]
The newly arrived thousand-year-old Crimson Blood Flying Dragon, not to be outdone, gathered its soul power, forming an energy ball around its mouth.
The next second, an energy ray shot towards the Bloodthirsty White Tiger.
"What a cool move!"
Seeing the Crimson Blood Flying Dragon's move, Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up.
The ray pierced through the Bloodthirsty White Tiger's body, further fueling its warlike nature.
Just as the two sides were about to engage in a major battle, Yu Xiaogang was filled with anticipation for the outcome. At that moment, Yu Yuanzhen slapped Yu Xiaogang on the head.
"You're really getting hooked on this? If the Crimson Blood Flying Dragon dies, who knows when we'll encounter such a suitable soul beast again!"
Yu Yuanzhen glared at Yu Xiaogang with annoyance.
"Hehehe, I got hooked without even realizing it!"
[After being reminded by Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Xiaogang finally came to his senses, scratching his head and smiling somewhat embarrassedly.]
Shaking his head, Yu Yuanzhen activated his Martial Soul, leaped into the air, and appeared on the other side of the battlefield.
Both the Crimson Blood Flying Dragon and the Bloodthirsty White Tiger were taken aback upon hearing the commotion from Yu Yuanzhen's side.
[Then they began to tremble all over.]
[Because Yu Yuanzhen's aura as a Title Douluo-level powerhouse had already been clearly revealed.]
Almost instantly, the Bloodthirsty White Tiger's fur stood on end, and after a furious roar, it tucked its tail between its legs and fled the scene without another word.
It was warlike and bloodthirsty, but only when facing opponents of similar or slightly stronger strength.
[If it were something it absolutely could not contend with, it would still run away.]
Yu Yuanzhen paid no attention to the Bloodthirsty White Tiger's escape; his goal had always been the Crimson Blood Flying Dragon.
Soon enough, the two Crimson Blood Flying Dragons, unable to move after being beaten, collapsed to the ground.
