Chapter 216 Netherworld Leopard
After absorbing the spirit rings and spirit bones, the group continued to search for other spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
It has to be said that entering the Star Dou Great Forest with Yang Tianyue was really great. The Vast Ocean Universe Cover has endless uses. As long as the Vast Ocean Universe Cover is set up at night, you can rest assured and have no fatigue at all.
However, while the six were resting that night, it seemed that some kind of soul beast was moving around rapidly outside the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.
But Yang Podi observed many times but found nothing. He always felt that a dark shadow flashed by, as if something had passed by quickly, and the shadow seemed to blend into the entire night.
Yang Podi specifically instructed Yang Tianyue to stay in the same spot for the past few days, hoping to find out about this soul beast.
After waiting for three whole days, a 20,000-year-old golden horned horse walked by that night.
With a flash of black shadow, multiple wounds appeared on the golden-horned horse's body. The horse seemed to be neighing with all its might, trying to find the enemy, but there was no reaction in the darkness.
Then the shadow flashed again, and this time the golden horned horse had a huge wound on its neck, clearly indicating that it was not going to survive.
As the golden horned horse fell, a huge leopard appeared beside its corpse and began to devour it.
This leopard was over ten meters long, completely black, even its eyes were black, making it impossible to see in the dark, as if it were born with the ability to hide.
"A Netherworld Leopard, 95,000 years old," Yang Podi said coldly.
Yang Tianyue, who was standing nearby, said, "Brother, this Nether Leopard is too fast. We can't keep up at all. It will probably be difficult to hunt it down. Besides, this Nether Leopard is less than 100,000 years old."
Yang Podi thought for a while before speaking: "This Netherworld Leopard obviously lives nearby. As long as we wait patiently, we will definitely gain something."
Just as Yang Podi thought, the Netherworld Leopard possesses extreme speed and is a rare dark attribute soul beast, which is probably quite good. This is also one of the soul beast attributes that Yang Podi wanted.
However, hunting it is indeed quite troublesome. In terms of speed, the Netherworld Leopard is the top of the soul beast world, especially at night. There is probably no soul beast that can match it. Moreover, the Netherworld Leopard usually hides during the day and only comes out to hunt at night, making it one of the most difficult soul beasts to kill in the soul master world.
Judging from the way this Nether Leopard behaves, it is obviously very intelligent. Even when it encountered a 20,000-year-old Golden Horned Horse, it did not confront it head-on at all. Relying on its dark attributes and extremely fast speed, it instantly killed the Golden Horned Horse without ever fighting it head-on.
For the next ten days, Yang Podi and his six companions observed the creature from within the Qianhanhai Qiankun Cover. After more than ten days of observation, they discovered that the Netherworld Leopard particularly liked to eat horse-type soul beasts and was very cautious, disliking hunting relatively fierce soul beasts.
During the day, Yang Podi and his companions secretly moved and captured a Gale Horse. They quietly placed Soul-Exploding Pills and enhanced Bloody Mary on the horse, and then released it at night.
Just as Yang Podi had predicted, the Netherworld Leopard did not attack immediately. Instead, it carefully observed the Gale Horse for a while and only attacked after confirming that there was no danger.
As the Gale Horse collapsed, the Shadow Leopard began to devour its corpse. Once the Shadow Leopard had finished eating the Gale Horse, the shadow flashed once more and disappeared into the night.
However, even with the Netherworld Leopard's caution, it still fell victim to the attack. After using the Soul Explosion Pill, its soul power began to surge and showed signs of becoming uncontrollable.
Just as the Netherworld Leopard broke through 100,000 years, Yang Tianyue directly used the skill: Vast Ocean Mind-Stabilizing Shield, which could control the Netherworld Leopard for a short time. Yang Podi then flashed out from the Vast Ocean Mind-Stabilizing Shield and thrust his spear, instantly leaving a huge wound on the Netherworld Leopard.
However, the Nether Leopard seemed to be frightened, and it merged directly with the darkness, disappearing from the spot in an instant. This was probably because the Nether Leopard used its dark attribute to escape quickly.
However, Yang Podi directly used his 100,000-year soul skill: Space Displacement, instantly switching his position with that of the Netherworld Leopard. Just as the Netherworld Leopard was filled with fear, it suddenly appeared directly under the blades of Yang Ping'an and Yang Tianyue.
With Yang Ping'an and Yang Tianyue's attacks, two more large wounds were left on the Netherworld Leopard, clearly indicating that the Netherworld Leopard was seriously injured.
Yang Podi activated his Soul Bone Skill: Spatial Teleportation, instantly appearing beside the Netherworld Leopard and swiftly thrusting forward, severely injuring the Netherworld Leopard once again.
Clearly, this ghost leopard was exceptionally alert, disappearing into the night once again before flying hundreds of meters away at an extremely fast speed.
Instead, Yang Podi disregarded soul power and repeatedly used the Space Bone Dragon's soul rings and soul bone skills, attacking the Netherworld Leopard each time it appeared.
In just one minute, the Netherworld Leopard lay dead in a pool of blood, clearly beyond saving. This was also the first time Yang Podi had used his Soul Ring and Soul Bone skills so frequently, and the consumption of his energy was considerable. If it weren't for the Space Bone Dragon's Soul Ring and Soul Bone skills, he might not have been able to kill the Netherworld Leopard.
After Yang Podi dealt with the Netherworld Leopard, he began absorbing the soul ring.
The absorption speed of the spirit ring this time was very fast, taking only one day.
After Yang Podi absorbed the spirit ring, he indeed obtained an extremely rare left leg spirit bone from the Netherworld Leopard, which was the speed-type leg spirit bone that Yang Podi had always wanted.
The soul bone absorbed for another day.
After Yang Podi absorbed all the soul rings and soul bones of the 100,000-year-old Netherworld Leopard, his soul power increased again, this time reaching level 96, though he had only just entered level 96.
After absorbing the soul bone, Yang Podi felt that his speed had increased significantly, even surpassing that of a titled Douluo with agility-based attacks. This was the true meaning of being invincible.
The group then wandered around the Star Dou Great Forest for another half a month, but perhaps due to bad luck, they didn't encounter a single suitable soul beast.
Ye Lingling, in particular, was almost in despair. High-age plant spirit beasts were much harder to find than animal spirit beasts, since plant spirit beasts moved slowly and were often prey for many high-age spirit beasts.
As the six of them walked across a huge rocky mountain that day, Yang Podi felt something was amiss. Logically speaking, the Star Dou Great Forest was rich in spiritual energy and teeming with life, so it was rare to find a barren rocky mountain.
But Yang Podi observed the surroundings carefully for a long time and seemed to find nothing.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Yang Podi grabbed a hundred-year-old soft-boned rabbit and casually threw it into the center of the rocky mountain.
The Soft-Boned Rabbit seemed unusually frightened, even trembling all over. As soon as it touched the rocky mountain, it quickly left, as if trying to avoid something.
But before it could run ten meters, a branch suddenly flew out from a crevice in the rocky mountain, entangled the Soft Bone Rabbit, and pulled it back to the rocky mountain. Then it dragged the Soft Bone Rabbit into a crevice in the rocky mountain, and the Soft Bone Rabbit disappeared before it could even scream.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard. Yang Podi also looked at the stone mountain with a serious expression before finally speaking slowly: "There should be a very old ghost vine in this stone mountain. Even if it hasn't reached 100,000 years, it's probably very close. Moreover, this ghost vine should be mutated, as it can actually absorb the life and soul power of soul beasts."
Yang Ping'an, standing to the side, spoke up: "Brother, could this be a Bloodthirsty Vine?"
Yang Podi shook his head: "Whether it's color or appearance, it's very different from the Bloodthirsty Vine. Besides, only the Ghost Vine hides in rocky mountains, while the Bloodthirsty Vine likes to grow in large patches."
After several trials and the introduction of various kinds of spirit beasts, it turned out to be a mutated 100,000-year-old ghost vine.
However, this ghost vine is probably hiding very well, and its branches are very long, making its attack range quite good.
Yang Podi thought carefully for a while, then took out over a thousand Crimson Fire Stones from his storage soul tool, lit them all, and scattered them evenly on the rocky mountain.
Plant-type spirit beasts are generally afraid of fire, and Crimson Fire Stones are generally effective against them. When the 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King was threatened, a large number of Crimson Fire Stones were used.
As countless flints were ignited on the rocky mountain, the entire mountain seemed to be engulfed in flames, and the temperature increased dramatically.
Just then, countless branches flew out from the cracks in the rocky mountain. These branches actually endured the heat and threw the blazing firestones out, clearly showing that this ghost vine was very intelligent.
Seeing numerous branches fly out, Yang Podi immediately swung his Soul-Breaking Spear, using his eighth soul skill: Golden Behemoth Slash. With a powerful swing, a tearing light appeared on the blade of the Soul-Breaking Spear, which flew directly towards the stone mountain, instantly splitting it in two.
After the stone mountain was split open, a terrifying scene appeared inside. The stone mountain was hollow inside, with countless ghost vine branches swaying rapidly, some of which had been cut off.
A loud voice suddenly came from the ghost vine: "Human, you have gone too far!"
Yang Podi ignored Gui Teng's voice and led the five men to attack.
The six of them simultaneously summoned their martial spirits and spirit rings, and quickly attacked the ghost vine.
But this ghost vine seemed unusually strange, as it sent out countless branches that seemed to want to wrap around everyone. Moreover, the branches emitted a bloody aura and even a devouring power.
Seeing this, Niu Meng, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling quickly retreated, as this Ghost Vine was clearly very effective against Beast Martial Souls and Plant Martial Souls.
However, Yang Podi, Yang Tianyue, and Yang Ping'an quickly attacked, and all three wielded their Soul-Breaking Spears with incredible speed, piercing and severing numerous ghost vines.
Yang Podi swiftly swung his Soul-Shattering Spear, countless spear beams piercing down, instantly severing a large number of branches. However, these branches were indeed extremely tough and powerful; even an ordinary Soul Saint might not be able to cut them.
Yang Podi then used his eighth soul skill again: Golden Behemoth Slash, a golden light that directly split the entire ghost vine in two.
But this ghost vine seemed to have an unusually strong vitality. Even after being split in two, it continued to attack rapidly, and its attacks became even more ferocious.
Yang Podi threw out countless Crimson Fire Stones again, while simultaneously wielding the Soul-Shattering Spear to attack.
Yang Ping'an, standing to the side, seemed to transform into lightning, countless bolts of lightning scorching the branches of the ghost vine. Yang Tianyue, on the other hand, was even more ferocious, taking out the enormous trident of the sea god and slashing directly at it, instantly cleaving off countless branches of the ghost vine.
As time went by, the branches of the Ghost Vine became fewer and fewer, and its aura grew weaker and weaker.
Yang Podi hurriedly said to Ye Lingling, "Lingling, hurry up and do it, this ghost vine is about to die."
Ye Lingling, using her leg soul bone skill, quickly arrived at the center of the battlefield. Then, she immediately used her right arm soul bone skill, and instantly a huge white-eyed demon tiger king pounced on the ghost vine, as if to tear it apart.
In the end, the Ghost Vine died at Ye Lingling's hands, and a huge red soul ring appeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They hadn't expected this 100,000-year-old plant spirit beast to be so powerful, especially its exceptionally tenacious vitality, which seemed to be endlessly regenerating.
Ye Lingling sat down to begin absorbing the soul ring, while Yang Tianyue continued to maintain the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to protect her.
Perhaps it was because this plant-type soul beast had such a strong life force, Ye Lingling spent five days absorbing the soul ring. However, she was lucky enough to directly obtain a torso soul bone this time, which even made Yang Podi a little envious.
After absorbing the soul ring and soul bone, Ye Lingling's soul power reached level ninety-two.
During their time in the Star Dou Great Forest, Yang Podi had absorbed two 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones, while Ye Lingling and Yang Ping'an had also absorbed one soul ring and soul bone each. Everyone's gains were quite good.
Yang Ping'an finally completed his long-awaited martial soul evolution, and Ye Lingling became an extremely rare healing-type titled Douluo in the history of soul masters.
