Hearing Lin Xiao's almost crazy words, Dugu Bo's whole body shook violently, his green eyes filled with disbelief and suspicion, staring at Lin Xiao intently.
"Little monster! Are you sure you're not kidding me?"
"That...that's a million-year-old soul beast!"
"Even though I've become much stronger now, I still believe I can't defeat even a tiny finger of it! You actually said... let's go catch it?"
Dugu Bo felt that Lin Xiao must have gone crazy from digging out the ten thousand year old cold marrow, which was why he said such ignorant words.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw the rare expression on Dugu Bo's face, which was a mixture of fear and absurdity.
But now is obviously not the time to make fun of this Poison Douluo.
He had no choice but to explain patiently: "Senior Dugu, you don't know."
"This Ice Silkworm Soul Beast is just an ordinary soul beast, one could even say it's an extremely weak one."
"Although it swallowed a vast amount of ten-thousand-year-old cold marrow by chance, forcibly accumulating its soul power to the level of a million years, its essence has not changed."
"Simply put, it possesses a million years of soul power, but lacks the combat capabilities to match it, and doesn't even have a decent means of attack."
"Its strength is probably even inferior to that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beast."
"The terrifying aura you sensed just now was most likely a disguise it used to protect itself and scare off those who coveted it, relying on its immense mental power."
After hearing this, the shock on Dugu Bo's face lessened a little, but his brows were still furrowed. He looked at Lin Xiao suspiciously, obviously still having great doubts about this statement.
"Are you serious...?"
He had lived for so many years and had never heard of a million-year-old soul beast that was so strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
"Really! Absolutely true!"
Hearing Lin Xiao's decisive words, Dugu Bo was silent for a moment, weighing the options rapidly in his mind.
This little monster never does anything without confidence.
If it is really as he said... a million-year-old soul beast with no attack power, its value is simply inestimable!
Thinking of this, the greed and curiosity in his heart once again overwhelmed the remaining fear.
"Alright! I'll believe you just this once! If it's really as you say, then we must get this ice silkworm!"
"However, if the situation changes, you and I must retreat immediately without any hesitation!"
"Of course!"
The two reached a consensus and no longer hesitated.
Lin Xiao let out a low roar, and the Dragon Soul Overlord Spear in his hand burst out with brilliant blood light again. The tip of the spear was like a drill, drilling madly into the ice below!
The hard, ten-thousand-year-old black ice was easily shattered like tofu under the sharp edge of the Dragon Soul Overlord Spear, and ice chips flew everywhere.
Dugu Bo no longer held back, and the terrifying power of the Titled Douluo completely erupted.
He just pressed his hands together, and emerald green soul power surged out, turning into a huge energy palm, which directly hit the thick ice layer!
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, large pieces of ice were shattered and turned into powder, revealing the depths below.
The two of them, one above and one below, one broke the ice precisely while the other cleared obstacles over a large area, their coordination was seamless.
And at the moment when they were digging down with all their strength to chase, the "sleeping" ice silkworm soul beast at the bottom of the deep pit suddenly woke up!
Or rather, it didn't sleep at all!
A mental wave that was far more panicked than before, but clearly powerful on the outside but weak on the inside, emanated from it.
The ice silkworm finally realized that these two uninvited guests did not seem to be scared away by its "million-year pressure", but instead rushed towards it even more fiercely!
"Buzz—"
A strange wave came, and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm no longer disguised itself. It immediately changed direction and fled frantically towards the deeper part of the ice layer for its life.
Its small body shuttled through the ice at an astonishing speed, and it was obvious that it wanted to use its familiarity with the terrain and ability to drill through ice to shake off the pursuers.
"Humph! Still want to run?"
When Dugu Bo sensed this scene, he understood that he had just been fooled.
The so-called "sleep" that he had sensed before was clearly a pretense by this little thing!
And that terrifying aura, just as Lin Xiao said, was nothing but a bluff!
The thought that he, a dignified Titled Douluo, was almost scared to death by a small insect with no offensive power was enough to frighten him.
Dugu Bo's old face suddenly felt hot, and he felt both ashamed and angry.
"Little thing, I'll pull you out!"
Filled with shame and anger, Dugu Bo attacked without mercy, pushing his soul power to the extreme, and the Green Scaled Snake King's martial spirit condensed in his palm.
Then it swam precisely towards the ice silkworm's escape path, blocking its way, while cracking the surrounding ice to slow down its speed.
Lin Xiao also tried his best, the Dragon Soul Overlord Spear danced like the wind, constantly breaking the obstacles in front of him and chasing relentlessly.
There was a Titled Douluo who attacked with all his might, regardless of the cost. Even if the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had a million years of soul power to support its escape, how could it be his opponent?
Although it was fast, its movement space was drastically compressed due to Dugu Bo's deliberate planning and his willingness to use his soul power to cause widespread destruction.
After a short while, after a slightly shrill cry, a powerful suction force emanated from Dugu Bo's palm.
A gap suddenly appeared in the ice below, revealing a soul beast that looked like a silkworm, about seven meters long, crystal clear and emitting a faint golden halo.
He was sucked out from the depths of the ice by Dugu Bo.
The ice silkworm twisted its fat body in vain in the air, making a "squeaking" sound, looking both pitiful and helpless.
Dugu Bo grabbed it and looked at it carefully for a moment.
It was confirmed that apart from the vast soul power and mental power, there was indeed no dangerous aura on his body.
Then he picked it up and returned to the ground of the ice cave with Lin Xiao.
"Little monster, you were right!" Dugu Bo looked at the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his hand, which was struggling but posed no threat.
His face was filled with surprise and amusement, the previous fear and embarrassment had long since vanished, replaced by excitement and pride.
Lin Xiao looked at the plump ice silkworm in front of him, whose body was crystal clear and emitted a faint golden halo, and felt inexplicably proud.
Isn't this the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm that became a prisoner in the Star Dou Great Forest ten thousand years later, then became Huo Gua's golden finger, and finally became a god?
I didn't expect that in this era, it would fall into my hands by accident.
Lin Xiao was secretly proud in his heart. This Brother Tian Meng was a treasure from head to toe!
The one-of-a-kind million-year soul ring on the continent, the strange and bizarre secret techniques in its mind, and even its remains after death are all rare treasures.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm held in Dugu Bo's hand seemed to feel Lin Xiao's undisguised "admiring" gaze.
The fat body twisted more violently, emitting a series of rapid and shrill cries, full of pleading and fear.
"Gentlemen, please spare my life! I was blind and didn't recognize you, so I bumped into you!"
