Chapter 102 Core Area of the Star Dou Great Forest
Actually, both his maternal grandfather Niu Gao and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo were quite familiar with Yang Podi and got along well with him.
Faced with the two teasing him, Yang Podi was speechless. They were his elders, and he couldn't very well argue with them.
Just before they were about to set off, Grandpa Yang Wudi suddenly asked, "Podi, you want to go to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain your fifth spirit ring. Do you have any plans? Or rather, any goals?"
Yang Podi thought carefully for a moment before speaking: "Power-type soul beasts, rare-type soul beasts, the higher the quality of the soul beast, the better, preferably dragon-type."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but chuckle: "You've got quite the ambition, kid, but there's no need to go to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for it. That place is extremely dangerous; even I don't dare to venture too deep in."
Yang Podi's father, however, seemed to understand his thoughts: "Podi, what age limit do you want for your fifth spirit ring?"
"Around 4 years, at most 45000 years."
Everyone was shocked to hear this. Normally, a Soul Master's fifth Soul Ring is only 12,000 years old. Yang Podi actually wanted a Soul Ring with such a high age limit. Wasn't he afraid of exploding?
Father Yang Zhentian seemed a little worried: "A 4-year spirit ring is already many people's seventh spirit ring, or even many people's eighth spirit ring. Are you sure your body can handle it?"
"Dad, I feel that my physical condition is very good right now, and absorbing a 4-year-old spirit ring should not be a problem at all."
Everyone present was puzzled, but after the final physical examination, Yang Podi's physical strength was almost on par with that of a high-level Soul Emperor. It seemed that absorbing a 4-year-old Soul Ring was indeed possible.
After some discussion, it was decided that the age limit for spirit rings would be set within 4 years, and absolutely not exceed 4 years. Yang Podi also thought about it and finally decided to choose according to this age limit.
Early the next morning, the five set off from the Po Clan, preparing to head to the Star Dou Great Forest.
After three days of travel, the group arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
This time, entering the Star Dou Great Forest was a breeze, since his maternal grandfather had recently obtained a spirit ring from there, and both of his grandfathers had helped him at the time.
After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, everyone became cautious, especially in the mixed zone. Dugu Bo was usually responsible for scouting ahead, as he was a Title Douluo and possessed superior perception. Meanwhile, Grandpa Niu Gao, along with Yang Podi, stayed in the center of the group, primarily providing protection.
Yang Podi re-entered the mixed zone and indeed saw many excellent soul beasts, some of which were even considered top-quality soul beasts.
Unfortunately, most of them were soul beasts with an age of less than 3 years, which Yang Podi really looked down on.
When the five entered the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, Yang Podi clearly sensed a change in the aura.
The energy in the air seemed to have become more concentrated, and the five of them were attacked from time to time by various soul beasts, most of which were over 3 years old and extremely powerful.
The entire core area is only about 200 kilometers in radius, but in just one day, the group encountered four soul beasts that were over 30,000 years old, and one of them was even 50,000 years old.
Especially the dense soul power fluctuations in the air; if this place weren't so dangerous, it would probably be a sacred place for many soul masters to cultivate, and the speed of soul power improvement would be much faster than outside.
The group's plan was to first help Yang Podi find his fifth spirit ring on the outskirts of the core area, and then slowly venture deeper to search for the other two's ninth spirit rings. After all, the outer area was relatively safer.
When night fell, everyone gathered together, leaving only one person to keep watch while the others rested. However, only one of the two Title Douluos remained on watch.
I don't know if I'm just really lucky this time. In the past, it always took me a lot of time to find a soul beast. Last time, it even took me more than a month to find that Iron Feather Tiger Eagle.
On the second day, they encountered a very good spirit beast, a 35000-year-old diamond mammoth. Diamond mammoths are among the most defensive spirit beasts, and their strength is also quite impressive. However, Yang Podi still didn't quite like the image of Huyan Zhen, who was known for his iron will, so the group had to search again.
Perhaps it was just pure luck? After leaving the diamond mammoth, we encountered a gigantic two-headed Gale Wolf. This two-headed Gale Wolf was over 20 meters long and looked incredibly powerful. Based on its age, it was estimated to be a two-headed Gale Wolf that was 76,000 years old.
The two-headed Gale Wolf is extremely powerful, with excellent speed and strength, making it one of the most popular soul beasts among many offensive soul masters. Especially since this two-headed Gale Wolf is actually alone, it makes things even easier.
After some discussion, Second Grandfather Yang Wushuang was very satisfied with the two-headed Gale Wolf and planned to use it as his ninth soul ring.
The two-headed Gale Wolf is extremely fast, especially in the Star Dou Great Forest, where it is very familiar with the environment. If you fail to land a hit, it can easily escape.
The five devised a strategy for the Soul Hunt, and then decided that Dugu Bo would go and secretly poison the wolf. Then everyone would attack together. Once the two-headed Gale Wolf was poisoned, it would be difficult for it to escape.
The poisoning tactic was a great success. The two-headed Gale Wolf was poisoned, and its originally silver-gray body turned green after being poisoned.
Upon realizing it had been poisoned, the two-headed Gale Wolf howled fiercely, seemingly furious that it had been poisoned and was in great pain. Its howls even carried a hint of terror.
Meanwhile, Yang Wudi, Yang Wushuang, Niu Gao, and Dugu Bo seized the opportunity to launch an attack on the two-headed Gale Wolf.
Four of them occupied one direction to prevent the two-headed Gale Wolf from escaping. The one facing it head-on was Second Grandfather Yang Wushuang, while Grandfather Niu Gao blocked its retreat and also to prevent it from making a final desperate attack.
Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo attacked from both sides.
Even when surrounded by four people, the two-headed Gale Wolf showed no fear and instead took the initiative to attack, demonstrating its formidable strength.
However, the four attackers were also extremely powerful, essentially four experts with the combat strength of a Title Douluo.
In particular, Second Grandfather Yang Wushuang directly activated his Martial Soul True Body. A huge human-shaped phantom appeared in the sky, holding an extremely large Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand. His soul rings flashed, and he raised the Soul-Breaking Spear to directly stab the two-headed Gale Demon Wolf.
This attack seemed capable of piercing through everything, creating a huge wound on the two-headed Gale Wolf, almost piercing its entire body.
Seeing that the two-headed Gale Wolf was seriously injured, the others intensified their attack.
After being poisoned, the two-headed Gale Wolf suffered a significant impact on both its speed and strength, with its power reduced to less than half of its usual level. It even had to endure pain to fight, and the outcome was predictable.
Before long, the two-headed Gale Wolf was lying on the ground, barely alive. But its eyes still seemed to hold endless resentment and pain, whether from the wounds or the poison, it was hard to tell.
The next step is the most important one: absorbing the spirit ring. During this time, you must not be disturbed.
Second Grandfather Yang Wushuang used his soul power to drag the dying two-headed Gale Wolf away, while Niu Gao held Yang Podi's hand, and the five of them quickly left the place.
Seeing that Yang Podi seemed a little confused, Niu Gao explained, "Our battle just now was quite intense, and many spirit beasts around could probably hear it. If you absorb the spirit ring on the spot, it might attract attacks from other spirit beasts."
"Furthermore, the two-headed Gale Wolf just howled repeatedly, probably calling for its companions, so we'd better get away from here."
The five of them quickly walked towards the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, and stopped only after finding a relatively safe place.
Dugu Bo set up poison arrays all around, and the three of them guarded three directions respectively to prevent other soul beasts from launching sneak attacks.
Second Grandfather Yang Wushuang then delivered the final blow to the dying two-headed Gale Wolf and prepared to absorb the spirit ring. However, this spirit ring was 76,000 years old, and the absorption time was estimated to be quite long. He had to adjust his physical condition to its best before he could do so.
Yang Podi, feeling a bit bored, decided to dissect the corpse of the two-headed Gale Wolf in the center by himself.
Normally, if it's a team-based soul hunt, the corpse needs to be disposed of by everyone together at the end, mainly to prevent unequal distribution of the spoils. Especially if a team is hired to hunt the soul, the corpse belongs to the soul hunt team.
Take the Spirit Hall for example. Spirit Hall's spirit masters can apply to assist in hunting spirit rings, but they need to make a great contribution to the Spirit Hall. Moreover, the corpses and even spirit bones obtained after hunting spirit rings belong to the Spirit Hall.
Some families have similar plans: the family helps hunt for spirit rings, and everything else except the spirit rings belongs to the family, which can be considered as increasing the family's wealth.
However, Yang Podi couldn't care less about that. Everyone around him was someone he trusted deeply, and he even had a close relationship with Dugu Bo.
However, this time they were really lucky. I wonder if the two-headed Gale Wolf suffered too much pain after being poisoned, because it actually developed a left leg bone.
The left leg bone of the 76,000-year-old two-headed Gale Demon Wolf is a top-grade soul bone, with a much higher age than the soul bones rewarded in the Soul Master Competition, and it can even be said to be no weaker than the inherited soul bones of the Clear Sky Sect.
Taking advantage of his young age, Yang Podi directly put away the soul bone, which caused the three people around him to burst into laughter.
Grandpa Yang Wudi, seeing this situation, was speechless and looked at Poison Douluo and Niu Gao with great embarrassment, not knowing how to explain it to his two old friends.
My grandson is too clever for his own good.
