Chapter 103:Capturing the Ruyi Beast
"Subduing Demon, don't spoil Qianjun either; don't always let him have his way. Three rings and five thousand years is already unheard of, and you actually want a ten-thousand-year fourth ring.
How about this, Qianjun, I'll believe you this once. If you can truly absorb a Ruyi Beast of around five thousand years at the three-ring level, I'll agree to you absorbing a ten-thousand-year fourth ring. If not...
Then don't blame me; I will absolutely not agree. After all, with your current talent, there's no need to take such a tricky path!"
Hearing Thousand-Kilogram Douluo's concession, Qianjun immediately spoke with a serious expression.
"Subduing Demon Old Ancestor, I can definitely do it!"
"Yes, Qianjun, I believe you can do it!!"
Subduing Demon also patted Qianjun's shoulder and smiled.
Panlong Douluo could only open his mouth helplessly upon seeing this scene, unsure what to say.
Now that both Old Ancestors had made their stance clear, what more could he say?
He could only silently wish in his heart that Qianjun could truly succeed.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day.
A carriage bearing the Spirit Hall flag slowly entered Star Dou Town, not far from the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
As this carriage, bearing the Spirit Hall flag, drove into the town,
the residents of the town all made way for the carriage.
Eventually, the carriage, bearing the Spirit Hall flag, stopped outside the most luxuriously decorated restaurant in Star Dou Town.
The restaurant owner, upon seeing the carriage, immediately scurried out to greet the distinguished guests.
Soon, three large and one small figure descended from the carriage.
These four figures were precisely Subduing Demon, Qianjun, Panlong, and Qianjun, who had traveled for a day and a night by carriage.
After getting off the carriage, the four of them did not choose to check directly into the restaurant. Instead, after arranging for the carriage's disposal, they immediately rushed to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts without delay.
After all, Ruyi Beast was an extremely familiar Spirit Beast to Subduing Demon Douluo and Thousand-Kilogram Douluo.
Regarding the Ruyi Beast's whereabouts, age, and even breeding methods, they, who had raised several generations of Ruyi Beasts, knew them like the back of their hand.
However, because the Ruyi Beast's combat power was not strong, its actual combat power and age performance were completely inconsistent.
Therefore, to ensure that Qianjun could successfully hunt the Ruyi Beast he desired,
at Thousand-Kilogram Douluo's suggestion, the four unanimously decided to hunt the Spirit Beast first and then rest.
After all, they knew the Ruyi Beast's whereabouts, and hunting a thousand-year Ruyi Beast was as easy as turning over one's hand for their current lineup.
Therefore, to avoid being preempted by others or other Spirit Beasts, the sooner they went, the better.
After all, if they went in time, even if they were truly preempted by other people or other Spirit Beasts, with Subduing Demon and Qianjun present, it would be more convenient to snatch it...
Having something to snatch is better than having nothing to snatch.
Soon, under the leadership of Subduing Demon Douluo and Thousand-Kilogram Douluo,
Qianjun and his group successfully entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
And began to advance towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Along the way, Panlong Douluo, who was walking at the very front, was wantonly releasing his Titled Douluo aura.
The low-level Spirit Beasts, feeling this powerful aura, all made way for Panlong Douluo and his group.
The instinct for survival made them completely dare not act rashly.
Soon, after walking for about half a day, night fell, and the bright moon rose high.
The bright moonlight shone down within the Star Dou Great Forest.
Under the cover of night, Qianjun and their group of four arrived at the edge of a small hill filled with small, raised mounds.
Looking at these small mounds, Subduing Demon Douluo pointed towards them and said to Qianjun.
"We're here, this is it, Qianjun. Do you see those raised mounds?! Those are the Ruyi Beast's nests..."
Qianjun looked in the direction Subduing Demon Douluo pointed and indeed saw the raised mounds.
Looking at those mounds, which were almost identical in size and shape,
Qianjun asked with a confused expression.
"Subduing Demon Old Ancestor, those small mounds all look about the same size. A thousand-year Spirit Beast wouldn't live in such a small place, would it? Or have we arrived late?! Have the high-level thousand-year Ruyi Beasts already been hunted?!"
Hearing this, Subduing Demon smiled faintly and said.
"No, not at all. In fact, the opposite of what you said is true. Not only are there thousand-year Ruyi Beasts here, but there are two... You lucky kid, I didn't expect your luck to be so good..."
"Two thousand-year Ruyi Beasts?!"
Hearing this, Qianjun, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, looked towards the mounds again.
Looking at the mounds, which were similar in size and shape, Qianjun suddenly remembered the Ruyi Beast's Spirit Ability, Ruyi Transformation.
Then, he spoke with a look of sudden realization.
"So that's it, I remember now. It's because the Ruyi Beast uses its Spirit Ability to control its body shape, preventing its body from being as massive as a typical thousand-year Spirit Beast..."
Listening to Qianjun's sudden realization, Subduing Demon nodded slightly and said.
"That's right, that's how it is. Because the Ruyi Beast's strength and age are severely inconsistent, their best attack method is to shrink themselves to ambush invaders, or to enlarge their form to scare away invaders.
And now it's their resting time, so they naturally need to shrink their bodies to return to their nests.
However, even if they shrink, there isn't no way to distinguish them. Do you see those small mounds?! The two parallel ones at the very top, they must be the strongest of this group of Ruyi Beasts.
Because only the strongest Ruyi Beasts will build their dwelling mounds in the highest place, so that they can strike back at the first moment when enemies invade!
However, if there are no thousand-year Ruyi Beasts in the group, then the Ruyi Beast will dig tunnels underground to survive, rather than building small mounds on the ground, in order to better avoid enemies!"
Listening to Subduing Demon Douluo's explanation, a look of sudden realization also flashed across Qianjun's face.
These pieces of information, Qianjun had not seen recorded when he read the introduction to the Ruyi Beast...
Even the Hall of Offerings's library only mentioned that the Ruyi Beast could freely change its size.
As if seeing Qianjun's thoughts, Thousand-Kilogram Douluo then spoke.
"Qianjun, the Ruyi Beast is quite important to our Li family, because our Li family's Subduing-Demons Staff and Balance Staff both require the Ruyi Beast's Spirit Ability for cooperation. Therefore, detailed information about this Spirit Beast is only circulated within our Li family and will not be recorded in the library.
Of course, it's not just us; the other few offerings also have Spirit Abilities required for their respective family inheritances. This is not too big of a secret within the Hall of Offerings!"
Hearing this, Qianjun finally understood why there was so little information about the Ruyi Beast in the library.
"Alright, that's enough talk. Qianjun, I'll go catch those two Ruyi Beasts, and you can pick which one you want."
Looking at Qianjun's contemplative expression, Subduing Demon Douluo patted Qianjun's shoulder and smiled faintly.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Subduing Demon Old Ancestor..."
"Hehe, it's a small matter... I'm really looking forward to seeing you become my eighth brother!!"
Subduing Demon Douluo chuckled.
Then his figure shot out towards the direction of the Ruyi Beast's nest not far away.
"This kid, he's disrespectful to his elders..."
