Chapter 189: Meeting Tang San Again
Dugu Bo looked at Lin Mo and sighed with emotion.
"Kid, your luck really leaves people speechless."
"Spirit Bones are treasures that ordinary people might never see even once in their entire lives, yet you've already obtained two. What's more, both of them are the rarest and most precious type, external Spirit Bones."
"In all the years this old man has lived, this is the first time I've seen someone with luck like yours."
Lin Mo nodded.
"My luck is indeed quite good."
He knew very well that Dugu Bo was right.
The appearance of the Crimson Phoenix Wings was the best proof of just how fortunate he had been.
If his luck had been slightly worse, he probably would not have obtained the Crimson Phoenix Wings at all.
Instead, the Spirit Bone produced by the Crimson Golden Phoenix would most likely have come from another part of its body, with an upper limb Spirit Bone having the highest probability.
Compared with the flight ability and Nirvana Spirit Ability granted by the Crimson Phoenix Wings, the improvement an upper limb Spirit Bone could offer was far less useful to Lin Mo at his current stage.
Moreover, if it had truly been only an ordinary upper limb Spirit Bone, Lin Mo likely would not have chosen to absorb it.
For an ordinary Spirit Master, a sixty thousand year Spirit Bone was already an extraordinary treasure.
But for Lin Mo, whose ambitions were far greater, it was ultimately still somewhat lacking.
With those thoughts in mind, Lin Mo bent down and stored the enormous corpse of the Crimson Golden Phoenix inside his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
The corpse of a sixty thousand year Spirit Beast was a treasure from head to toe.
Its blood, bones, feathers, and even internal organs were all rare and valuable materials.
Naturally, none of it could be wasted.
After finishing, Lin Mo looked toward the others.
"Since Sister Yanyan and I have both obtained our spirit rings, it's time for us to leave. This isn't a place where we should stay for long."
The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest was dangerous after all.
Although the commotion from their previous battle had not caused other Spirit Beasts to swarm toward them, there was no guarantee that other powerful existences were not lurking in the shadows.
Every additional moment they remained here brought another layer of risk.
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Dugu Bo nodded in agreement.
"That's right. Our business here is finished, so it's time to head back."
The group wasted no more time.
They immediately set out, rapidly retracing their previous route toward the outer regions of the Star Dou Great Forest.
After they left, the territory that the Crimson Golden Phoenix had occupied for so many years fell into a brief silence.
The surrounding Spirit Beasts that had been secretly observing the disturbance also relaxed and returned to hiding.
However, during the return journey, Lin Mo no longer needed Dugu Bo to carry him.
He did not release Charizard either.
Relying entirely on the high speed flight ability granted by the Crimson Phoenix Wings, Lin Mo easily kept pace with Dugu Bo, who was carrying Dugu Yan, and Ye Linyuan, who was traveling with Ye Lingling.
His speed was not inferior in the slightest to the traveling speed of the two elders.
What pleased Lin Mo even more was that the external Spirit Bone looked genuinely magnificent.
Its gorgeous appearance alone made him like the Crimson Phoenix Wings even more.
The group traveled at high speed.
In less than half a day, they passed out of the core area and returned to the mixed region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, while passing through a stretch of woodland, Lin Mo casually swept his gaze across the surroundings.
His figure suddenly paused slightly.
There was another group of people in the distance.
That group consisted of roughly ten people, who were cautiously resting within the forest.
Most were young boys and girls, accompanied by several middle aged figures whose auras were clearly much stronger.
Although the distance between them was considerable, Lin Mo's current mental force and eyesight had both been strengthened many times over.
He could still clearly make out their appearances.
It was Shrek Academy.
Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong, the Golden Triangle, were all present.
And the seven young students around them were none other than Dai Mubai, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Zhuqing, and the later addition, Yu Tianheng.
Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have just finished a battle and were currently resting.
Moreover, their purpose in entering the Star Dou Great Forest appeared to have been to help Tang San and Dai Mubai, who had both reached bottlenecks, obtain their respective spirit rings.
From the spirit power fluctuations radiating from the two, they had already successfully broken through their bottlenecks.
They were now merely making their final adjustments and resting before leaving the Star Dou Great Forest.
Judging from their auras, Tang San had probably broken through considerably earlier than Dai Mubai.
Lin Mo's slight pause naturally did not escape Dugu Bo's perception.
Almost at the same moment, Dugu Bo's gaze shifted toward the same direction.
His emerald eyes narrowed slightly.
In an instant, he locked onto the distant group.
A trace of coldness flashed across his face before quickly disappearing.
Several thoughts passed through Dugu Bo's mind.
Shrek Academy.
Tang San.
Clear Sky Douluo.
Under normal circumstances, if he encountered the Shrek Academy group alone in the wilderness, he would not have minded going down to meet Tang San, that treasure delivering brat, and attempting to take a Spirit Bone from him.
But not now.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were both with him.
If a fight broke out, there would be too many unpredictable variables.
More importantly, no one knew whether Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao was currently hiding somewhere nearby, secretly protecting his son.
Although Dugu Bo no longer feared Tang Hao, he had no desire to clash with Clear Sky Douluo while bringing his granddaughter along.
The risk was simply too great.
Dugu Bo weighed the advantages and disadvantages in an instant.
He withdrew his gaze and continued forward with Dugu Yan, while secretly transmitting his voice to Lin Mo.
"Don't cause trouble. Leaving this place comes first."
Lin Mo naturally understood the situation.
He immediately withdrew his gaze, lightly flapped the Crimson Phoenix Wings, and caught up with the group.
However, this unexpected encounter caused an idea that had been brewing in his mind for a long time to suddenly become much clearer.
According to what had happened during Dugu Bo's previous visit to Shrek Academy, Tang San had accidentally exposed his Spirit Bone.
Because of this, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao would most likely remain close to Tang San until the Spirit Master Competition, secretly protecting him from the shadows.
That meant as long as Tang San remained active around Heaven Dou City in the near future, participating in the preliminary and qualifying rounds of the Spirit Master Competition, Tang Hao's attention would inevitably remain focused on the area around Heaven Dou City.
And that gave Lin Mo an opportunity.
An opportunity he had been waiting for a long time.
A chance to obtain those two things.
The Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone.
And the juvenile Blue Silver Emperor.
At that thought, a trace of joy flashed deep within Lin Mo's eyes.
Perfect.
He could take advantage of the period when Tang Hao was distracted by protecting Tang San and had no time to concern himself with anything else.
Lin Mo could leave Heaven Dou City and make a trip elsewhere.
His target was the waterfall where, according to his memories, Tang Hao would later teach Tang San the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method.
Behind that waterfall was a hidden cave.
Inside were both the juvenile Blue Silver Emperor and the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
The group did not stop again.
They continued forward at full speed, quickly leaving the area far behind.
Although the mixed region contained many Spirit Beasts, none dared approach after sensing Dugu Bo's undisguised Titled Douluo aura.
By the time evening approached, the group finally passed safely through the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.
They had returned to the world of humans.
