"A beast tide..."
Xuezhe stroked the armrest of the throne, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and then he thought to himself:
"Who doesn't know the rules of Douluo Continent? Every time there's a beast tide, we first team up to repel the soul beasts. Once the soul beasts retreat, the soul bones in those corpses belong to whoever finds them—as long as you have the ability to keep them!"
So Xuezhe looked at Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo, and said excitedly:
"Our Barak Kingdom is closest to the Star Dou Great Forest. When we repel the beast tide, we will be the first to clean up the battlefield. The benefits we can reap will definitely be the greatest of all forces!"
These words instantly ignited the interest of Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo.
Every soul master knows how precious soul bones are - a suitable soul bone can directly improve the soul master's strength to a higher level and obtain new soul skills.
Countless soul beasts were killed or injured in the beast tide, and among them there must be many ten thousand year old soul beasts!
"yes!"
Liu Tianfeng slapped his thigh, his eyes full of anxiety.
"We can't miss such a great opportunity! I'll go back and prepare now. Once the beast tide is suppressed, I'll immediately head to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest to grab soul bones!"
Dugu Bo also twirled his beard, with an expectant smile on his face:
"My Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom is not only effective in killing people, but it's also very convenient for cleaning up the corpses of spirit beasts. Maybe with a bit of luck, I can even find a spirit bone that's suitable for Yanyan."
As they talked, they turned around and were about to leave the hall, fearing that if they arrived too late, the benefits would be snatched away by others.
"etc!"
Xue Tianxing suddenly spoke up, quickly stepped forward to stop the two of them, and said in a serious tone:
"Grandpa Liu, Old Man Dugu, don't leave so quickly. Now is not the time to go and snatch soul bones."
Liu Tianfeng was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully:
"Why? Don't you want the ready-made soul bones?"
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't go."
Xue Tianxing shook his head and explained patiently:
"Right now, on the continent, apart from a few of us, no one knows that Xiao Wu is in our Barak Kingdom. But those two hundred thousand year old soul beasts—the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape—know! They launched the beast tide just to find Xiao Wu."
Xue Tianxing paused and emphasized his tone:
"If you go to the Star Dou Great Forest now and encounter those two soul beasts, they will definitely be able to sense your presence—after all, you fought them in the Star Dou Great Forest before.
As soon as they see you, they will immediately understand that Xiao Wu is in the hands of our Barak Kingdom.
If we reveal this information to other forces, the entire Douluo Continent will be targeting us!"
"By then, not only will we not be able to obtain the spirit bones, but we will also become the target of public criticism."
Xue Tianxing looked at the two of them and continued:
"Those forces will definitely unite against our Barak Kingdom for Xiao Wu, a hundred thousand year old soul beast. Even if we have two Titled Douluo, we can't stop the siege of the entire continent!"
The excitement on Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo's faces faded away in an instant, replaced by solemnity.
They were only thinking about stealing the soul bones before, but forgot this crucial point.
The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape value Xiao Wu far more than they imagined. Once they target her, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Alas, what a pity…"
Liu Tianfeng sighed heavily, and said with regret in his eyes:
"I originally thought that even if I couldn't get a ten-thousand-year soul bone, getting a thousand-year soul bone would be nice. Now it seems that I can only watch others snatch it away."
Dugu Bo also nodded, with a regretful tone:
"Yeah, such a good opportunity, but I missed it. You know, spirit bones are not that easy to get, especially the ones that suit you."
Xuezhe looked at the two people's lost expressions and felt helpless, but he knew that Xue Tianxing was right.
Compared to the soul bone in front of him, saving the Barak Kingdom and Xiao Wu, the 100,000-year-old soul beast, is more important.
"Okay, don't be sad."
Xuezhe said:
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Once we resolve this beast tide crisis, it won't be too late to find a way to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul bones."
Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo looked at each other and could only nod in agreement.
Although they were reluctant, they also understood that Xue Tianxing's consideration was correct and they should not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.
Xue Tianxing felt relieved when he saw the two of them calm down.
He knew that he had to remain calm and not make any mistakes.
As long as they can survive this beast tide and wait for their father Xuezhe to break through to the Titled Douluo and absorb Xiao Wu's spirit ring and spirit bone, the strength of the Barak Kingdom will be greatly improved. At that time, it will be much easier to find spirit bones.
The atmosphere in the hall gradually calmed down. The four people stopped discussing the matter of snatching soul bones and started to discuss how to deal with the upcoming beast tide and how to keep the secret of Xiao Wu.
Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, the roar of the beast tide continued to spread outward like thunder.
Tens of thousands of soul beasts, like a black tide, broke through the forest boundaries and spread towards human settlements under the leadership of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
The ground was shaking under the stomping of the huge herd of beasts, the air was filled with the roars of beasts and the smell of dust, and a storm sweeping across the Douluo Continent had already arrived.
At this time, soul masters from various forces had already gathered on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Tiandou Empire sent the Royal Knights and three Soul Douluos, while the Xingluo Empire was led by a direct descendant of the Dai family, accompanied by two Titled Douluos; the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect were not to be outdone, each sending out their elite forces; and the Spirit Hall even sent three priests, including a Super Douluo above level 95.
Together with the soul masters from other forces, both large and small, the total number of soul masters above the Soul King level exceeds 10,000, and there are six Titled Douluo, which is a luxurious lineup.
"I heard that this beast tide was caused by the two hundred thousand year old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. How strange, don't they rarely leave the center of the forest?"
A Soul Douluo from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan whispered, his eyes full of anticipation.
"No matter why they launched the beast tide, as long as we repel them, the soul beast corpses in the forest will be ours!"
Another soul master responded with a smile, the martial spirit in his hand already ready to move.
Everyone knows that behind disasters, there are often opportunities - countless soul beasts died in the beast tide, and there must be a lot of soul bones hidden among them, and there may even be traces of ten thousand-year-old soul bones.
At the front of the beast tide, the Titan Ape advanced with heavy steps, and asked worriedly to the Azure Bull Python beside him:
"Brother, if we unleash a large-scale beast tide like this, we're directly provoking a war with humanity. If the Lord knew, would he hold us accountable?"
The "Master" it was talking about was none other than the mysterious being deep in the Star Dou Great Forest.
