Chapter 47: Obtaining the Eighth soul ring, Seven 60,000-Year-Old Three-Eyed Demon Foxes Appear?!
"Alright, it's time for us to get suitable eighth soul rings for your parents. Do you want to come with us, or wait here? After all, the Soul Beasts we're hunting this time are at least 50,000 years old, and if we're lucky, we might even encounter 70,000-year-old ones, which would be too dangerous for you right now," Yue Guan said kindly.
Hu Bai thought for a moment: "I want to go with you. I might not be able to help with the Soul Beast my father is looking for, but for my mother's, due to my Martial Soul, I should be able to attract the covetousness of fox-type Soul Beasts, which should make them easier to find."
Yue Guan and the others exchanged glances, all agreeing that it made sense. Anyway, with three Titled Douluo among them, they wouldn't fail to protect Hu Bai.
One day later.
The group originally intended to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to search for suitable Soul Beasts, but Hu Bai suddenly thought of a simpler method and stopped them.
Then he looked at Dugu Bo and asked: "Senior Dugu Bo, what level of Soul Beasts can your poison array outside prevent from entering?"
Dugu Bo pondered for a moment: "Soul Beasts under 50,000 years old, without special means, basically cannot enter. For Soul Beasts over 50,000 years old, the effect might be slightly less, but unless they use their innate Soul Skill, they also cannot enter.
As you've seen, my poison array has been set up here for so many years, and no Soul Beast has ever broken through it."
Hu Bai nodded, which was indeed true. Otherwise, with so many precious Immortal Herbs growing here, if they were eaten by those Advanced Soul Beasts, the benefits to them would be enormous.
So, at that moment, he made a decision: "I have a method here that can attract Soul Beasts over 10,000 years old, especially fox-type Soul Beasts, but the concern is that if several Soul Beasts break through the poison array, it might be quite bad for us."
Hu Bai took out the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb and told them his method.
Planting the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb outside, then dripping his ordinary fresh blood containing the power of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, would be enough to attract high-grade fox-type Soul Beasts.
Not only that, the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb itself has a huge attraction for Soul Beasts. Upon smelling its fragrance, other Soul Beasts should also come.
This was the method Tang San used in the original text, but he learned from it.
Dugu Bo quickly said, "Then wait for me for a day. I'll rearrange it, just in case."
Knowing that several, or even dozens, of Advanced Soul Beasts might rush over soon, Dugu Bo also shivered. It was better to reinforce it.
Naturally, Hu Bai and the others wouldn't mind this; they wished for it!
Another day later, the poison array was rearranged.
Hu Bai placed the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb inside the poison array, only one meter from the outside, a distance just right for the scent to spread. Then he took a bottle from his storage device and dripped a drop of black liquid onto it.
This liquid contained herbs that stimulated the scent of the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb, as well as some of his blood.
"Alright, we just need to wait a moment. If anything unexpected happens, don't hesitate to kill Soul Beasts indiscriminately. Besides the two Soul Beasts we need my parents to personally kill, the others can be repelled. If they can't be repelled, it's fine to kill them too!" Hu Bai reiterated his previous words very seriously.
Although he would show a gentle side after a Soul Beast died, he would bury their bodies.
That was because the battle had ended, and they were no longer enemies.
But before the Soul Beasts attacking them died, then between Soul Master and Soul Beast, they were enemies!
After all, if they couldn't be repelled, they could only be killed!
In the wild, the cruel Law of the Jungle, 'survival of the fittest,' is believed.
As the saying goes, if you don't die, do I?
Xie Tian, Hu Leyao, and Yue Guan were already accustomed to Hu Bai's demeanor, which showed how rational Hu Bai was, and could even be described as righteous to the point of being evil.
However, Dugu Bo and Ling Yuan, who had not been with Hu Bai for long, were somewhat shocked. Could these be words spoken by a six-year-old child?
Generally speaking, aren't six-year-olds still very innocent?
Even if they matured earlier due to being influenced by living in a major power, wasn't this a bit too mature?
Not long after Hu Bai's words fell, rustling sounds were heard from outside. Judging by the sound, at least five 10,000-year-old Soul Beasts were approaching!
Don't just look at it being only five. This isn't the Star Dou Great Forest, but the Sunset Forest. The number of 10,000-year-old Soul Beasts here is not many!
It's estimated that the entire Sunset Forest might only have a few dozen 10,000-year-old Soul Beasts, and possibly less than ten 50,000-year-old ones!
At this moment, a huge 10,000-year-old Datura Snake suddenly rushed forward first, attempting to break through the poison array, but unfortunately, it did not succeed.
Following closely were a 50,000-year-old Datura Snake and a 50,000-year-old man-faced Demon Spider Emperor!
When Dugu Bo saw these two Soul Beasts, his eyelids twitched. These two Soul Beasts themselves possessed potent venom and had resistance to poison, which was the unexpected situation he had mentioned earlier.
But fortunately, these two Soul Beasts only managed to get their heads in, unable to completely break through!
The further out of his poison array, the less potent the poison was, and the closer to the central area he set up, the stronger the poison was.
"Phew~~" Dugu Bo let out a heavy sigh of relief. Thank goodness, thank goodness.
"Old Poison, your poison array is quite good! In just half an hour, it has already attracted so many 10,000-year-old Soul Beasts!"
And the next moment, in their perception, seven Three-Eyed Demon Foxes were rushing towards them.
"This is it!" Hu Bai exclaimed in surprise: "It looks like they should be 60,000-year-old Three-Eyed Demon Foxes. This age is very suitable for an eighth soul ring!"
Xie Tian looked at the seven Three-Eyed Demon Foxes that appeared and was slightly stunned: "Can identical Three-Eyed Demon Foxes suddenly appear in the Sunset Forest? Three-Eyed Demon Foxes are not gregarious creatures. Could it be…?"
Hu Leyao nodded: "Mmm, this should be one of the Three-Eyed Demon Fox's innate Abilities, Phantom Clone! This is the one. Please pull it in."
Yue Guan and the two others nodded, and Dugu Bo also unhesitatingly brought out the only Soul Bone on his body, Medusa's Gaze!
Instantly, the seven Three-Eyed Demon Foxes froze, controlled in place.
"The other Soul Beasts are up to you two," Dugu Bo said indifferently.
Yue Guan and Ling Yuan directly unleashed their Martial Soul True Body and attacked the other Soul Beasts, while Xie Tian and Hu Leyao had already completed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Seductive Charm!
And the Light Unicorn's Light Wing External Soul Bone also unfolded behind Seductive Charm, along with the Bloodthirsty Wolftaken Left Leg Bone!
Facing this nearly 70,000-year-old Three-Eyed Demon Fox, Xie Tian and Hu Leyao dared not be negligent in the slightest, putting forth their full strength from the start!
