Chapter 60 Fourth Soul Skill: Frost Breath! Considerations for the Fifth Soul Ring
Just then, Yue Guan flew over from a distance with a heavily injured Soul Douluo.
As soon as he landed and saw that Hu Liena and Mo Wei were both alive, Yue Guan smiled and said, "Old Poisoner, I knew I hadn't misjudged you! The doors of our Spirit Hall are always open to you! I, Yue Guan, owe you another favor!"
Swoosh~
Mo Wei immediately appeared beside Yue Guan and whispered in his ear, "Elder Yue, we shouldn't stay here any longer! Princess Nana just obtained an external soul bone, and Poison Douluo wants His Holiness the Pope to give up two 50,000-year soul bones in exchange! We should leave quickly before Poison Douluo changes his mind!"
"What?! An external soul bone?!"
Yue Guan exclaimed in surprise, his gaze lingering on Hu Liena for a moment before turning to Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo stood calmly not far away, his soul power fluctuations extremely calm, showing no intention of making a move.
"How does he want to trade? Should he wait for His Holiness the Pope to bring the soul bone over?" Yue Guan asked hurriedly.
"He told us to go back first, and then send the soul bones to Heaven Dou City."
"What?! All of us! Are we going to go back first, and then send the soul bones we're trading over there?"
Yue Guan was practically asking directly: Aren't you going to hold someone hostage?
Mo Wei nodded, his head feeling somewhat heavy, and added, "Besides, Poison Douluo only asked us to convey the details of the deal to His Holiness the Pope! He didn't force us to agree to the terms of the deal now..."
Not only did Yue Guan not believe it, but even he himself didn't believe it.
Yue Guan's eyes widened in astonishment, thinking, 'How could such a deal exist? Isn't he afraid we'll go back on our word after we leave? Is he still the same old poisoner I know?'
After a long silence, Yue Guan quickly took his leave, promising to relay the details of the transaction to Bibi Dong.
Before leaving, Hu Liena gave the smiling Dugu Lin a deep look, feeling uneasy. She thought to herself, 'Dugu Lin is only eleven years old this year, and at such a young age he has successfully absorbed a soul ring with a lifespan exceeding thirty thousand years, standing at the forefront of all his peers... He is definitely not simple!'
After the Spirit Hall people left, Dugu Bo asked, "Lin'er, can your plan really work?"
"Don't worry, it'll definitely work out! And for us, two soul bones around 50,000 years old are more valuable than Hu Liena's external soul bone! We've made a killing in this deal!"
"I hope so."
Dugu Bo quickly changed the subject, asking, "What is your fourth soul skill? Is it the same as Grandpa's?"
Dugu Bo's sixth soul ring came from a Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King that was less than 20,000 years old. Its soul skill was to form an ice wall that could freeze enemies or be used for defense.
"Little Lin, fourth soul skill: Frost Breath!"
The Jade Phosphor Serpent immediately opened its mouth and exhaled an extremely cold breath. Wherever the breath passed, it was completely frozen and encased in ice! The frost turned into sharp ice crystals!
Dugu Bo's brow twitched wildly as he watched, his face filled with surprise and delight: "This is too strong! Even Grandpa felt a trace of danger from the aura of the fourth soul skill!"
Dugu Lin smiled and explained, "Of course! Frost Breath contains the ultimate ice and the poison of the Jade Phosphor Serpent! Moreover, the power of Frost Breath depends entirely on the amount of soul power! It's no weaker than a 70,000-year soul skill!"
A 70,000-year-old soul skill is equivalent to the age of an eighth or even ninth soul ring!
Of course, Dugu Lin is only a level 50 quasi-Soul King right now, so it's too early for him to compete with a powerhouse like a Soul Douluo.
Dugu Bo laughed heartily a few times: "As expected of my grandson! His talent for the separated martial soul is indeed extraordinary! He is far superior to that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang!"
"No! Grandpa, don't compare me to that good-for-nothing."
"Yes, yes, it's Grandpa's fault."
"Hiss~~"
At this moment, the two-meter-long Jade Phosphor Serpent, Little Lin, ran over and affectionately rubbed against Dugu Lin.
Dugu Lin, sensing his connection, asked in surprise, "So, Little Lin, you won't be so sleepy anymore?"
"Hiss~"
"So that's how it is! So it really is because the ultimate ice attribute is too powerful. Hmm... it's like 'being unable to withstand nourishment.' Back then, the ice attribute suddenly became stronger, but the ice attribute source of the separated martial soul was too scarce to withstand it! In other words, it's because your physique was too weak that you went into hibernation!"
"Hiss~"
Seeing the Jade Phosphor Serpent's response, Dugu Lin laughed and said, "After obtaining the Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King's Soul Ring this time, your source energy has been replenished, which is equivalent to making your physique stronger! Therefore, you will no longer need to hibernate!"
Dugu Lin was speechless. A separated martial soul was good, but like a soul beast, it would also have all sorts of problems.
"Huh? Lin'er, does that mean that if you cultivate with Little Lin, your cultivation speed will be twice as fast?"
"That should be it! After I get back this time, I'll go into seclusion for ten or fifteen days to verify it."
"Um!"
Dugu Bo nodded seriously and then asked, "Where do we go next to obtain our fifth soul ring? Ten Thousand Snake Valley or Sunset Forest? Sunset Forest has a Medusa Queen with about 40,000 years!"
"Forty thousand years is a bit low."
Dugu Lin frowned and pondered seriously, "Forty thousand years might be just right for my sister to make her sixth soul ring! I'll choose another soul ring."
"Okay... Shall we go straight to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes then?"
"Then let's go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes."
Having decided on his destination, Dugu Lin looked back at the Tianshan Mountains behind him every few steps.
Dugu Bo immediately knew what Dugu Lin was thinking and laughed, "What? Still thinking about the Tianshan Snow Lotus?"
"Yes! I believe there must be a Tianshan Snow Lotus growing in this mountain range!"
"Don't overthink it, let's go."
"Let's go... sigh~"
...
A few days later.
Dugu Lin and Dugu Bo returned to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes once again, and the grandfather and grandson easily hunted down a four-horned Heavenly Python.
Dugu Bo looked at the dark black soul ring that was slowly forming and felt somewhat dissatisfied.
"A 53,000-year-old four-horned Heavenly Python! The soul skill that Grandpa obtained back then was a defensive soul skill... Lin'er, with your talent, you can acquire an even more powerful snake-type soul beast, an offensive soul skill that is over 50,000 years old!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Lin shook his head and explained, "Who said defensive-type soul skills are inferior?"
Originally, what Dugu Lin wanted was indeed an offensive soul ring, such as the 40,000-year-old Medusa Queen, which would have been quite good.
However, after the battle with the Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King, he suddenly realized that if he were to choose the Blue Silver Emperor as his second martial soul, he could simply use the Wooden Dummy Technique to hold up a shield and charge straight in during battle! A shield doesn't necessarily have to be for defense! You can also use a shield to smash people!
However!
Just as Dugu Lin was about to absorb the soul ring, he suddenly sensed some movement in the distance and faintly felt the earth tremble.
Dugu Bo looked into the distance with a wary expression.
In just a moment, the tremors in the distance grew stronger and stronger. Dugu Bo exclaimed in alarm, "Damn it! It's a soul beast rampage! We have to retreat! Forget about the soul rings!"
"Good!"
Dugu Lin didn't hesitate at all. He immediately recalled Little Lin, activated the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, and flew away with Dugu Bo into the distance.
"What a pity!"
"What's a pity?"
Dugu Lin shook his head and said, "It's a pity about the corpse of the Four-Horned Heavenly Python. It could have been used as food for Little Lin."
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it; our storage soul tools are already full!"
"That's why it's such a pity."
