Chapter 188: Sudden Change, Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Beast
"Boom, boom, boom!"
In an instant, a faint protective halo appeared around everyone's bodies.
Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia bloomed at the same time!
The gentle light of life enveloped her teammates, ready to heal them at any moment.
"Do it!"
Dugu Yan gave a low shout.
Ao Yin took the lead and let out a low roar!
A violent aura belonging to the Dragon species, mixed with the Soul Power of a Soul Emperor at the Peak, erupted as he charged toward the Ice-Fire Lizard like a cannonball!
"Sixth Soul skills: Elemental Strangling!"
Ao Yin showed no mercy, using an area-of-effect attack right from the start, attempting to interrupt the Ice-Fire Lizard's feeding and create chaos.
Violent, mixed elemental energy formed a tornado and swept forward.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure appeared behind the Ice-Fire Lizard like a ghost, her sharp claws extending!
With a cold, sharp edge, she aimed directly for the lizard's relatively soft waist and abdomen.
The sudden attack caused the Ice-Fire Lizard to let out a furious roar!
It dropped the food in its mouth!
Cold air surged from the ice-blue side of its body, and an ice wall instantly condensed by its side, blocking Zhu Zhuqing's surprise attack.
The fire-red side of its body spat out flames, meeting Ao Yin's elemental tornado.
"Boom, boom!"
Ice shards and sparks flew everywhere; the ice wall shattered, and the flames were torn apart!
However, the Ice-Fire Lizard also successfully blocked the first wave of attacks, its crimson eyes locking onto Ao Yin, the greatest threat.
"Hiss!"
It opened its mouth and spat out a breath of energy mixed with ice and fire, the temperature eerily strange.
The powers of ice and fire conflicted yet fused strangely, possessing astonishing power.
"Ice-Fire Poison Mist!"
Dugu Yan was already prepared; a jade-green poison mist, carrying a bone-chilling cold and a searing heat, began to spread!
Not only did it weaken the Ice-Fire Lizard's perception, but the potent poison within it also continuously eroded its scales and energy.
Ning Rongrong's supportive light flickered constantly, adjusting her focus based on the battle situation.
Though the Ice-Fire Lizard was strong!
Under the exquisite coordination and powerful support of the Big Dipper Team, it quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Finally, as Ao Yin clashed head-on with the Ice-Fire Lizard once more, causing its figure to stagger.
Zhu Zhuqing seized the opportunity!
She activated her fifth Soul skills, "Hell Shadow Raid," and her speed instantly erupted to its limit!
Transforming into several afterimages that were hard to distinguish from the real one, her claws pierced deeply into the Ice-Fire Lizard's body.
"Roar!"
The Ice-Fire Lizard let out a roar of pain, and blood splattered.
"Fifth Soul skills: Ice-Fire Raid Kill!"
Dugu Yan's eyes turned sharp. Her long-prepared fifth Soul skills, combined with her evolved ice-fire poison power!
Condensed into a poisonous spear woven from three colors: jade-green, ice-blue, and crimson-red!
Taking advantage of the moment the Ice-Fire Lizard was wounded and dazed, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, she accurately pierced its head!
The Ice-Fire Lizard's massive body crashed to the ground, its aura quickly dissipating.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
A deep black Soul Ring slowly condensed above its corpse.
"We did it!"
Ning Rongrong cheered, her small face flushed with excitement.
Ye Lingling also breathed a sigh of relief, the light of the Nine Heart Begonia becoming even softer.
Ao Yin shook his somewhat numb arms and grinned. "This big lizard's skin is really thick!"
Zhu Zhuqing silently retracted her claws, her figure flashing.
She returned to the team to stand guard.
Dugu Yan looked at the black Soul Ring, her eyes full of excitement.
She immediately sat down cross-legged, adjusted her breathing, and began to guide the Soul Ring for absorption.
The energy of a thirty-thousand-year Soul Ring posed a certain amount of pressure for her!
But after the baptism of the ancient tree of life and the hearty battle just now, she was in excellent condition, and her Spiritual Power was exceptionally condensed; she had full confidence.
Ao Yin, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling immediately took positions in the four directions to act as Protectors for Dugu Yan.
Not far away, on the canopy of an extremely tall ancient tree, Li Bai was leaning there, though no one knew when he had arrived!
The wine gourd in his hand swayed slightly as he looked at the little ones below, who had quickly ended the battle with a clear division of labor, a satisfied smile appearing in his eyes.
"Their coordination is getting better, and their control over the rhythm of the battle is good too. It seems the academy's combat classes weren't in vain."
Dugu Yan's absorption process was even smoother than expected.
Although the energy of the Ice-Fire Lizard's Soul Ring was violent, under the suppression of her Martial Soul and her own firm will, it was gradually refined and absorbed... Two hours later!
"Boom!"
The Soul Power around her body surged suddenly, and she successfully achieved a Breakthrough to rank sixty-three!
Her eyes snapped open, radiating a sharp light.
The sixth Soul Ring was completely stabilized, granting her a powerful area-of-effect ice-fire poison explosion Soul skills, with astonishing power.
"Congratulations, Sister Yan!"
Ning Rongrong and the others gathered around to congratulate her.
Dugu Yan felt the surging power within her and the mystery of the new Soul skills, her heart filled with joy.
But she did not forget they were in a dangerous place.
"This isn't a place to linger. The smell of blood might attract other Soul Beasts. Let's leave quickly and continue looking for other Soul Rings."
Everyone nodded and quickly cleaned up their tracks!
They quickly departed toward the designated next area.
However, about half an hour after they left that battlefield, just as they were preparing to cross a denser ancient forest.
A burst of intense fighting and the roar of Soul Power explosions, mixed with human shouts of anger and the roars of Soul Beasts, came from deep within the dense forest ahead.
"Something's happening!"
Dugu Yan immediately signaled everyone to stop and hide their presence.
"It's a team of Human Soul Masters being attacked by a very powerful Soul Beast."
Zhu Zhuqing confirmed, a hint of solemnity flashing in her cold eyes.
"That Soul Beast's aura... it's full of violence and destruction. It should be a top-tier predator of at least the fifty-thousand-year level."
The sense of familiarity in Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's hearts grew even stronger!
It wasn't just the Martial Soul aura!
It seemed that even the Soul Power fluctuations of those Human Soul Masters were somewhat familiar.
"Let's go take a look, but be careful."
As the captain, Dugu Yan made the decision.
Whether out of curiosity about that sense of familiarity or the potential principle of mutual aid among Soul Masters, she could not just stand by and do nothing.
The five of them once again concealed their presence, like agile forest predators, silently creeping toward the direction of the battlefield.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The closer they got, the more deafening the sounds of fighting became!
The Soul Power pressure and the smell of blood permeating the air also grew heavier.
Finally, they pushed aside a patch of tangled vines and saw the scene ahead!
In a clearing even more devastated than the previous Ice-Fire Lizard battlefield, a team of about six or seven Soul Masters was in a desperate situation.
One of them was tall and upright, with short blue hair and a resolute face, surrounded by thunder.
It was exactly the Young Lord of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianheng!
He was currently covered in blood, the sleeve of his left arm shredded to reveal several claw marks deep enough to see the bone. Although his aura was still fierce, it was clearly disordered; he was obviously forcing himself to hold on.
Leading them was a teacher at the Martial Soul Saint level, who was looking ahead with constant vigilance!
And their opponent was strikingly a Soul Beast with a body comparable to a small mountain, covered in dark gold scales and with hideous bone spikes on its back.
Over fifty thousand years old, a Molten Earth Dragon Beast!
This was a top-tier earth-attribute offensive Soul Beast that possessed part of the Dragon Clan Bloodline!
It had immense strength and astonishing defense.
It could also control magma and the power of the earth, making it extremely difficult to deal with!
