Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 760 The Battle Between Humans and Geese
Somewhere on the Platform of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"hold head high--"

The lush forest was torn apart by a high-pitched dragon's roar. The sound waves rolled like thunder, shaking the treetops and making the earth tremble.

A powerful dragon's might spread out, filling the surrounding air with a chilling atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, a noisy "squeaking" sound came from the forest, and a group of Dark Night Fire Monkeys with a thousand years of cultivation fled in panic among the treetops, their scarlet eyes filled with fear—they were clearly terrified by the sudden dragon roar.

"Finally, they were scared away."

Tang Wulin stood in the forest, a relieved smile playing on her lips. Unlike other Soul Masters who went on a killing spree as soon as they entered the Beast Platform, she had always adhered to the principle of avoiding battle since she arrived.

Even when attacked by spirit beasts, she would only use her abilities to drive them away, never killing them. This almost instinctive compassion stemmed from an indescribable sense of closeness, as if these spirit beasts had some kind of secret connection with her.

"Is it because of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within him?"

She pondered to herself that her father, Tang San, possessed half-soul beast blood, and her mother, Xiao Wu, was a soul beast in human form. Perhaps this bloodline resonance was the root cause of her inability to generate any killing intent towards soul beasts.

Temporarily setting aside her doubts, Tang Wulin continued wandering through the forest. She was filled with curiosity about the scoring rules of the eighth level of the Spirit Pagoda: "Could it be that the score is calculated based on the time spent in the game? If that's the case, they must have ways to monitor the Beast Platform, and some of their trump cards probably can't be used easily."

At this moment, she is acting under the identity of "Yu Longyue," claiming to be from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and that her martial soul is a mutated ice dragon.

This disguise is perfectly reasonable—her ninth spirit ring comes from the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, which grants her the ability to manipulate ice elements. Combined with the Golden Dragon King bloodline within her, her impersonation of the Ice Dragon Martial Soul is flawless.

This is a very reasonable thing, after all, who can say for sure about things like spirit mutation.

The historical master Yu Xiaogang was transformed from a dragon into a pig. And his cousin and lover, Liu Erlong, also possessed a mutated fire dragon martial soul.

The leader of the second generation of Shrek Seven Devils: Thunderbolt Beibei, whose martial soul also mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and evolved into the Holy Light Dragon.

There are countless precedents for mutations, so who can question the rationality of the "Ice Dragon"?
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

Just as Tang Wulin was pondering, a muffled rumble suddenly came from the earth, as if thousands of troops were galloping.

A violent tremor spread from the ground, bringing an indescribable sense of terrifying oppression. Her brow furrowed, and her Purple Demon Eyes suddenly activated as she gazed towards the source of the sound. Her expression instantly turned grave: "Not good, it's a herd of Vajra Boars!"

The Golden Boar is a typical social spirit beast, and its destructive power in a berserk state far exceeds that of lions and tigers.

They are as large as small mountains, with heads as hard as iron and three pairs of fangs as sharp as shovels. Their charging force is enough to destroy any obstacle, and even powerful soul beasts are unwilling to confront them head-on.

Furthermore, because of the excellent quality of pig tusks, which are suitable for carving, the wild boar was hunted extensively in ancient times and nearly became extinct. Yet, this Ten Thousand Beasts Platform perfectly presents them.

"hold head high--"

To avoid conflict, Tang Wulin opened his mouth again, and the roar of the dragon contained the oppressive power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, attempting to scare away the pigs.

"Hum-"

However, the anticipated scene of the soul beasts scattering in fear did not occur. The herd of wild boars only paused slightly, a flicker of struggle flashing in their bluish-black pupils, before being replaced by an even stronger panic.

The leader of the ancient giant boars let out a deep roar, arched his head covered with steel needle-like bristles, and led hundreds of boars to continue charging. The sound of their hooves was like drums, making the ground beneath Tang Wulin's feet go numb.

"what?!"

Tang Wulin was horrified. She was fully aware of the power of her bloodline. Logically speaking, these Golden Boars should have been scared away by the Golden Dragon King's bloodline.

"No. It's not that they're not afraid, but rather that something is chasing them, so fear overwhelms their awe of my bloodline."

A hint of purple flashed in Tang Wulin's eyes. When she had just used her Purple Demon Eye, she noticed that there seemed to be streaks of lightning flashing behind the group of Vajra Wild Boars.

"These giant boars are roughly a thousand years old, with only the leader at the front being a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. What kind of creature could possibly chase them around like that? Forget it, let's avoid them for now."

Tang Wulin made a quick decision, using his soul power to launch himself into the air and avoid a head-on collision.

"boom--"

One tree after another was knocked down by the wild boars, but fortunately Tang Wulin was already flying in mid-air and would not be affected by the group of giant wild boars.

It wasn't that she couldn't defeat these giant boars, but rather that she wanted to avoid a pointless fight.

At the same time, because she was in mid-air, she finally saw the culprit that was chasing the herd of wild boars everywhere.

Tang Wulin's eyes were filled with astonishment: "A goose?"

"Gaga gaga! My son! My son!"

A large white goose with snow-white downy feathers was seen flapping its wings and running wildly across the ground. As soon as it noticed that a wild boar was slowing down, it would immediately flap its wings.

"Zizi-"

A wisp of purple lightning flew from the white goose's wing and swiftly struck the last remaining giant boar.

"Pfft—"

The hit wild boar convulsed, its tough skin showing charred lines, and it collapsed to the ground with a shrill cry. The herd of boars in front of it ran even faster, as if they were being chased by a demon from hell.

The white goose made a strange "quack quack" sound, with an eerie excitement in its voice. The air currents generated by its flapping wings stirred up fallen leaves on the ground, forming miniature thunderstorm vortexes.

"This must be a spirit beast, right? A goose that can control lightning?"

Tang Wulin was momentarily at a loss for words to describe the bizarre sight before him. A giant white goose chasing after a herd of wild boars—what was going on?
However, before her shock could subside, the white goose suddenly stopped, looked up at her in the air, and a fierce glint flashed in its eyes.

"Gah!"

Without warning, a violent burst of purple lightning erupted from beneath the goose's wings, sweeping towards Tang Wulin like a raging tide.

"Have you been discovered?"

Tang Wulin's heart tightened, and he immediately activated his bloodline power. A blue-gold shield instantly unfolded on his body. This shield was formed by the fusion of the extreme cold power of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Dragon Qi of the Golden Dragon King, making it extremely powerful.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The lightning continued to bombard the shield, sparking bursts of electricity. Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the shield, but they were quickly repaired with the help of Tang Wulin's soul power.

"Caw!" Just when she thought she could withstand the attack, the goose honked again, the thunderstorm suddenly subsided, and all the lightning condensed in mid-air into a thick purple lightning pillar, which crashed down with a world-destroying force!
"not good!"

Tang Wulin's pupils contracted sharply as the blue-gold protective shield was instantly pierced. In the critical moment, a dazzling blue-gold radiance erupted from her body, and fine dragon scales covered her entire body, forming a final defense.

"boom!"

The lightning bolt slammed her body into the ground, creating a crater more than ten meters in diameter, sending dust and debris flying everywhere.

The surrounding wild boars were already terrified by the sight and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

"Gaga gaga! My son! My son!"

A sharp goose cry tore through the air, and a snow-white figure, walking with a pigeon-toed gait, flapped its wings, creating a gust of wind, and excitedly raced towards the pit.

"Hiss~ This guy!"

At the bottom of the pit, Tang Wulin shook off the rubble on his shoulder. The tingling sensation from the lightning strikes still lingered on his dragon-scale-covered skin.

A violent current surged through her meridians, causing her to gasp involuntarily. Fortunately, her dragon scales protected her, resulting in only superficial injuries, but the power of the lightning still left her shaken.

Just as she was about to stand up, she heard another drawn-out "caw caw—", which sounded both smug and provocative.

Tang Wulin suddenly looked up, his gaze instantly freezing on the edge of the pit.

The large white goose was tilting its head, its black bean-like eyes scrutinizing her, and a silver-gray bracelet around its neck shimmered in the sunlight.

This glance sent a shiver down her spine—the design of that bracelet was exactly the same as the scoring device issued by the Spirit Tower on her wrist!
"???"

She subconsciously raised her wrist to compare the two bracelets: the same streamlined design, both inlaid with light blue energy crystals, and even the patterns on the edges were exactly the same.

But this scoring device is for recording the contestants' scores. Could it be... that this goose is also a contestant in the martial arts contest for marriage?
Tang Wulin's mind went completely blank: Were the inspectors at the Spirit Pagoda blind? Could they not even tell the difference between a human and a goose?
She frowned, carefully examining the large white goose. She hadn't seen it clearly from a distance before, but now that she was closer, the figure seemed somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, she remembered that Master Mu Chen had mentioned that Master Zhen Hua's disciple, the Divine Craftsman Lu Fa, possessed the Heavenly Forging Divine Skill and was said to have forged a large white goose with extraordinary spirituality.

Could this be the legendary "divine goose"?
She focused her senses and indeed did not detect any aura of a soul beast on the other party. Instead, it had a cold and hard feeling unique to metal—could this be a "living thing" forged using the Heavenly Forging Method?
"Wait!" Seeing the large white goose flapping its wings, seemingly about to attack again, Tang Wulin quickly waved his hand, trying to explain, "Misunderstanding! I didn't intend to fight you, this competition..."

"Gah!"

Her response was an even louder cry from the goose. Before she could finish speaking, the white goose suddenly stretched its neck, its orange-red beak gleaming with a metallic sheen, like a sharp knife aimed straight at her face.

That speed was extremely fast, accompanied by the sound of wind being cut; it was clearly no joke!

This guy!
Tang Wulin was quite certain that the big white goose could understand her, but it still attacked her.

She had never been "provoked" like this before, especially since she was currently playing the role of Yu Longyue from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. How could she allow others (gooses) to look down on her? Her pride, stemming from her Shrek Academy background, was instantly ignited. Her eyes flashed, and her soul power erupted.

"Just fight, no matter who you are afraid of!"

She moved with lightning speed, leaping backward to avoid the goose's beak, while simultaneously clenching her fists and circulating her soul power at high speed within her body.

Beneath her dragon-scale-covered skin, electric light flickered, and the power of dragon energy intertwined with the power of ice. Although she did not use the Nine Forms of the Golden Dragon, the pure power and soul energy she possessed gave her fists a sound like they were tearing through the air.

Seeing this, the white goose not only did not retreat, but instead flapped its wings and charged again. The man and the goose engaged in a fierce battle around the pit—the goose's beak was like a blade, and its fists were like thunder.

This bizarre "human-goose battle" thus unfolded at the bottom of the pit.

……

Nan Fusheng strolled leisurely through the forest, his face full of relaxation.

Unlike other Soul Masters who would be attacked by Soul Beasts upon entering the Ten Thousand Beast Platform.

Because he tamed the Golden Lion Mastiff, he has not been attacked by any spirit beasts so far.

However, this is quite normal. After all, the Golden Lion Mastiff has a fearsome reputation. Even just a slight hint of its ferocity is enough to scare away most soul beasts, so how could they dare to approach it?

"Hey, what's that?" Suddenly, Nan Fusheng paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Just a hundred meters away, an extraordinary vine community sprawled across a forest clearing, with dozens of thick vines winding and growing like giant pythons, each topped with an enormous flower bud.

The flower buds were covered with thick, dark green scales, but at the top, a breathtaking crimson bloom had already emerged, like silk soaked in blood, swaying gently in the breeze, as if they were about to burst into eerie flowers at any moment.

He roughly estimated that if these buds were fully open, the diameter of the flowers would probably be at least five meters, and the height of the vines themselves would exceed fifteen meters. Their enormous size and unique shape made them stand out conspicuously in this forest.

"Nightmare Man-Eating Flower!"

Nan Fusheng examined them for a moment and quickly recognized the true nature of these vines.

Nightmare Man-Eating Flower! Once one of the most feared plant-type killers in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Nightmare Man-Eating Flower's lethality lies in the "Nightmare Toxin" it secretes.

This toxin was once listed by the Federation as one of the "Ten Greatest Poisons in the World." Its bizarre characteristics and domineering power were enough to make even a Title Douluo wary.

It is invisible and formless, disguised only by a faint, sweet fragrance, yet it possesses extremely strong penetrating power. Unlike ordinary toxins that must be inhaled through respiration, Nightmare Toxin can even seep into the body through the skin's pores, making it virtually impossible to defend against.

Even more terrifying is its medicinal effect—once the toxin enters the human body, it spreads to the nerves and the sea of ​​the mind at an alarming speed, causing severe paralysis in a short period of time, making people confused, weak all over, and even without the chance to circulate their soul power to resist. In the end, they can only become nutrients for the man-eating flower in a chaotic dream.

Historical records indicate that during the great war in the Star Dou Great Forest thousands of years ago, the Demon King, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, devised a treacherous scheme to lure the combined forces of the Federation, Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Spirit Pagoda to an area where Nightmare Man-Eating Flowers grew.

In that fierce battle, several powerful individuals who had reached the level of Title Douluo or even Super Douluo were accidentally infected with the poison. Although their soul power was strong, they were ultimately unable to resist the erosion of their spiritual sea by this strange poison and eventually died in their sleep.

In the aftermath of this battle, the powerful humans, enraged, launched a massive bombardment of the area with soul-guided cannons, causing the Nightmare Man-Eating Plant to nearly disappear.

I never expected that this Flower would grow on the Ten Thousand Beasts Platform.

"Take one."

Nan Fusheng's eyes lit up slightly. Because the Nightmare Man-Eating Flower was almost extinct, he had never raised such a soul beast. Now that he had seen it, he naturally had to get his hands on it, just to add some greenery to the Dragon Valley Small World.
