Chapter 5: The First Soul Ring
Outside the Xingdou Great Forest, a carriage stopped here, breaking the quiet atmosphere around.
Dugu Chen and Dugu Bo got off the carriage, handed the coachman a bag of gold soul coins, and let the coachman drive the carriage away.
He looked at Dugu Bo.
"We will go directly into the Xingdou Great Forest now."
As soon as Dugu Bo finished speaking, two yellow, two purple, and five black soul rings appeared in an instant, and there was a huge green phosphorus snake behind him.
It took Dugu Chen and flew directly into the air, flying towards the Xingdou Great Forest.
In the air, Dugu Chen found that there was a small town not far away. At this time, the people in the town were looking at their master and apprentice in fear.
The nine soul rings on Dugu Bo's body were really eye-catching.
The Xingdou Great Forest is one of the three most famous soul beast settlements in Douluo Continent.
The area is so large that it is almost equal to the land area of the Barak Kingdom. It spans the borders of the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire. Among them, two-fifths of the area is in the Tiandou Empire, and the other three-fifths is in the Xingluo Empire.
It is a huge primeval forest with complex terrain, including wetlands, swamps, etc. The soul beasts there are also extremely terrifying. The closer to the center of the forest, the stronger the soul beasts are. It is said that there are even soul beasts of 100,000 years.
Any soul master, as long as he is strong enough and lucky, can find the most suitable soul ring in it.
Flying in the air, Dugu Chen thought of the introduction of the Star Dou Great Forest in the book. Of course, Dugu Chen knew that there were not only soul beasts of 100,000 years, but also several of the ten great beasts.
In this era, the ten great beasts are not prominent, and almost no one knows that there are still fierce beasts above the 100,000-year soul beasts. Dugu Chen guessed that these fierce beasts might be absorbing the big bug, or there might be a miracle in this era, especially since the inheritance of the Shura God is in Douluo Continent, and the Silver Dragon King dare not let them show their heads.
Along the way, except for a few flying soul beasts that were blind and were blown up by Dugu Bo, there were no soul beasts attacking.
Dugu Bo dared to be so arrogant because this time they didn't have to go to the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, and it was enough to just stay on the periphery.
At the outskirts of the Xingdou Great Forest, tall trees blocked the sky. Each tree was at least 20 meters tall. There was no path in the dense forest. The shadows of the trees were so thick that the real scene could not be seen.
Under the shade of a tree, Dugu Bo landed below.
"Chen'er, stay with me and don't leave my sight. As for the suitable soul beast, I will help you find it."
Dugu Bo reminded him. The Xingdou Great Forest was no different from other places. Most of the soul beasts here were very fierce. Although the outer area was safer, it was not impossible for a soul beast of ten thousand years to appear. Dugu Bo did not dare to be too careless.
They walked and stopped along the way. As they went deeper, the trees around them gradually became more and more numerous. Along the way, Dugu Bo talked to Dugu Chen about survival skills in the wild and taught the soul beasts they met.
After all, books were not as profound as real objects. As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.
"It seems that we can't find it today. Let's rest here for one night."
Dugu Bo cleared a clearing, set up a poison array on the periphery, and took out a tent from the soul guide to set it up.
Dugu Chen also relaxed. After all, this was his first time to experience this. He was a little tense, but now he could take a break.
After setting up the tent, Dugu Bo lit another fire. Dugu Chen looked puzzled, as if he was questioning him for lying to a child. Didn't he just say that he couldn't make a fire?
Dugu Chen's eyes seemed to make his back furry. Dugu Bo laughed.
"Isn't this because the teacher is strong? As many soul beasts from the periphery as come, as many as die."
Dugu Chen's face turned black after hearing this. So he pretended to be so good. He is indeed the number one bully in Douluo.
After the episode, they ate dry food and both of them closed their eyes to practice. With Dugu Bo's poison formation, they didn't have to keep watch.
There was no conversation that night.
Three days later, on the outskirts of the Xingdou Great Forest, Dugu Chen and his apprentice were still looking for suitable soul beasts. Dugu Chen couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
"Roar!" A roar came from the front.
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up and he said happily, "It seems that your soul ring has been found, Chen'er."
He grabbed Dugu Chen, who was excited, and rushed to the place where the sound came from.
Due to the obstruction of the surrounding trees, Dugu Chen could not see the specific situation in front, but from the sound just now, it should be a powerful soul beast.
After a while, the two arrived at the scene, and saw a giant bear about five meters long lying on a Nether Wolf that was bigger than itself and eating.
Seeing such a bloody scene for the first time, Dugu Chen felt a little uncomfortable and took a few deep breaths to calm down.
Dugu Bo frowned and looked at the giant bear in front of him, frowning.
"It's the Earth Explosion Bear, but it's a pity that it's nearly five hundred years old, otherwise it would definitely be very suitable for Chen'er."
Hearing this, Dugu Chen also frowned. The Earth Explosion Bear is a soul beast with top offense and defense. It can also absorb the power of the earth to restore soul power and injuries. It dares to fight against ten thousand years old. As long as it is not killed by one blow, it can consume the opponent to doubt life. It is almost a perfect match with himself.
After thinking for a moment, he took Dugu Bo's hand and said firmly,
"This is it, teacher. I have been strong since I was a child. There are not many super Earth Explosion Bears. I can do it. Otherwise, I don't know when I will meet such a suitable soul beast next time."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo looked at the determination in Dugu Chen's eyes and said, "Okay, teacher believes in you. If you feel uncomfortable in the middle, I will interrupt you."
"Thank you, teacher." Dugu Chen thanked Dugu Bo excitedly.
Since he had decided on this soul beast, Dugu Bo did not hesitate. His powerful aura instantly enveloped the Earth Explosion Bear, and then he flashed to the front and punched the bear's face with a puzzled expression.
The Earth Explosion Bear instantly closed its eyes peacefully, and only the short legs that twitched from time to time showed that he was still alive.
Dugu Chen only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and then the battle was over. It was less than five seconds. The teacher was too fast.
"Come on, what are you dazed about,"
Dugu Bo's voice came, and Dugu Chen hurried over to avoid the unlucky bear dying.
When Dugu Chen came to the Earth Exploding Bear, he did not hesitate. With the increase of the spirit, his strength had reached a very terrifying level. With the sharpness of the dragon claw, the right hand that turned into a dragon claw instantly pierced its neck.
After pulling out the blood-stained dragon claw, a circle of bright yellow spirit rings slowly emerged from the Earth Exploding Bear.
There was still a hint of the fierceness of the Earth Exploding Bear between the spirit rings.
Since Dugu Chen chose to absorb its spirit ring, he would not think about it anymore.
He directly used his spirit power to pull the spirit ring and put it on himself from top to bottom.
Except for being a little uncomfortable at the beginning, there were no other problems.
His spirit bloodline suppressed the Earth Exploding Bear tightly, and he did not feel any pain in the process of absorbing the spirit ring.
Instead, he felt a warm energy constantly nourishing his body. The attributes of all aspects of his body were rapidly improving.
In less than half an hour, Dugu Chen easily absorbed the spirit ring of the Earth Exploding Bear. He closed his eyes and carefully felt the skills that this soul ring brought to it. He
opened his eyes excitedly, looked at Dugu Bo who was protecting him, and then spoke impatiently.
"Teacher, I want to try the soul skills."
Dugu Bo was relieved to see that his apprentice was fine. There was no reason to refuse. He stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.
He could understand his apprentice's mentality. He also went through the same thing in the past. And he also wanted to see what soul skills this earth explosion bear gave his apprentice.
In his opinion, it would definitely be very strong. After all, it was the first super-year soul ring he knew. At this moment, he was a little incredible.
Seeing his apprentice eager to try, he took Dugu Chen to fly into the sky and came to the outer periphery.
Under Dugu Bo's mental perception, the two soon found a suitable target.
It was a ten-year-old nether wolf. As a frequent visitor to the soul beast forest, Dugu Chen knew it very well.
Dugu Bo was worried that Dugu Chen would not be able to cope with the first battle, so he specially found a ten-year-old Nether Wolf for him. This soul beast could not break the defense of his apprentice, and there was no need to worry about Dugu Chen getting hurt.
Dugu Bo directly placed Dugu Chen in front of the Nether Wolf, and he hid his breath in the air.
The moment he landed, Dugu Chen had completed the martial spirit possession.
The soul seal on his forehead shone with a golden red light, accompanied by a roar.
His body was covered with a layer of fine scales, his hands turned into dragon claws, and his body expanded instantly.
Even the original black short hair instantly turned into long golden hair, with flames in the hair, and a tail like a cow's tail was dragged behind him, and the tip of the tail was stained with flames.
A circle of bright yellow halo was rhythmically moving around the body.
Dugu Chen's eyes also turned red and yellow, which was extremely strange.
The Nether Wolf looked at the little kid in front of him, instantly tightened his hind legs, opened his ferocious mouth, and pounced on Dugu Chen.
"I've been waiting for you."
Seeing this, Dugu Chen was not angry but happy. He tightened his arms and crossed them to block the attack. Dugu Chen took a few steps back and looked at his arms. The attack of the Nether Wolf did not leave any marks on him.
Seeing this, Dugu Chen knew that the soul beasts under a hundred years old might not be able to break his defense, so he stopped testing. He kicked his feet and quickly approached the Nether Wolf. The flames wrapped around his dragon claws cut open the Nether Wolf's abdomen.
Blood splattered everywhere, but Dugu Chen deliberately avoided it and did not splash on him.
The Nether Wolf fell to the ground, already dying, and the flames on his body instantly submerged it.
Dugu Bo was surprised and exclaimed, "Chen'er's martial spirit is really terrifying. In my opinion, I'm afraid that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is not as good as you."
After hearing this, Dugu Chen also smiled with satisfaction. He was also very satisfied with his martial spirit.
With the amplification of his first soul skill, the power of the unicorn, his attack power, defense power, and strength increased by 100% at the same time. As long as he stood on the ground, he could draw the power of the earth to restore his soul power and injuries.
This soul skill is almost better than the third soul skill of an ordinary soul master.
However, Dugu Chen cannot exert the true power of this soul skill now.
Only after he obtains an attack-type soul skill can he truly experience the horror of this soul skill.
Of course, the skill is powerful and the consumption is also large.
With Dugu Chen's current soul power, he can only last for five minutes at most.
This is the time when he does not take the initiative to recover. If he takes the initiative to recover and adds the talent field, when he reaches a higher level in the future, it will be a different scene.
Do you understand the gold content of the soul skill turret of the most durable man on the continent! False land invincibility: Tang Chen, real land invincibility: Dugu Chen.
Just when Dugu Chen was dreaming, Dugu Bo came in front of Dugu Chen, knocked on his head and laughed and scolded.
"Don't be so proud. We should go home. I haven't seen Yanyan for two months. I don't know if Yanyan misses me."
Dugu Bo couldn't hide the doting in his eyes when he mentioned Dugu Yan.
In less than an hour, the master and the apprentice arrived at a small town 50 kilometers away from the Xingdou Great Forest.
In the eyes of everyone in awe, the master and the apprentice hired a carriage and went to Tiandou City without changing their expressions.
