Douluo Dalu: I Have a Soul Beast Clone.

Chapter 62: Cunning prey.

Several hundreds-year-old ice pigs were eaten by him and decomposed by the digestive energy in just a few seconds. However, the energy they provided made Li Changan frown secretly!

"Such thin energy... As expected, the effects of these young soul beasts on my current improvement are very limited." Li Changan's nine snake heads glanced at the shivering ice wolves around him, and finally focused his gaze on the Millennium Wolf King. One of the heads stretched out its neck and bit it directly, swallowing it.

Throughout the whole process, the wolf king showed no signs of resistance, as if he had accepted his fate. After all, the gap between the two sides in terms of bloodline and cultivation was too great, and resistance was meaningless.

After swallowing the Millennium Wolf King and digesting it, the energy obtained was stronger than that of the Hundred-Year Soul Beast, but it was also limited. There was no qualitative change.

Li Changan understood.

Now, soul beasts under ten thousand years old have little effect on their own improvement. Unless they devour a large number of them, they can make up for the quality with quantity. But the time spent in this way is not worth the gain.

Instead of doing this, he might as well go directly hunt ten thousand year soul beasts.

“But it’s not absolute. If it’s a soul beast with a very high-level bloodline, such as the Titan Giant Ape, the Azure Bull Python, etc., then even if it’s only a hundred years old, the energy it provides is probably pure enough to be comparable to a ten-thousand-year soul beast.” Li Changan thought.

So he set standards for his next hunting target.

A soul beast with high bloodline!

Or a soul beast of high age!
Soul beasts with high-level bloodlines and high age are the best prey.

After determining the future hunting target.

Li Changan turned his huge body and left. As for the remaining direwolves, he chose to let them go. After all, these low-level soul beasts could not provide him with the energy he needed to grow. There was no point in hunting them, so he was too lazy to eat them.

……

The Far North is vast.

The endless snowy plains are dotted with occasional icebergs and hills.

Li Changan didn't know how far he had walked. He only knew that as he went deeper into the core area, the originally soft snow on the ground had now turned into thick ice. At the same time, the ubiquitous coldness became more and more terrifying.

If an ordinary person exhales here, the moist air will instantly freeze into ice chips in the air, right? This shows how cold this place is.

After half a month of exploration, he found that the Far North was a vast land with few beasts. The number of soul beasts was pitifully small compared to the Soul Beast Forest. Even ten thousand year soul beasts were rare in the outer areas, not to mention those soul beasts with high bloodlines. As a last resort, he could only continue to go deeper into the core.

"There is no doubt that I am now in the core area. I can vaguely sense the strong aura coming from all directions. Ten thousand year old soul beasts are no longer as rare as they are in the periphery."

“Although there are more prey, the danger level has also increased! With my cultivation level roughly equivalent to that of a ten thousand year old soul beast, I must be very careful in this core area! If I get caught by those powerful soul beasts, I’ll be doomed.” Li Changan thought secretly in his heart.

To be honest, if there weren't so few ten thousand year soul beasts in the outer area, he would not have set foot in the core area when his cultivation was still low. Instead, he would stay in the outer area and develop quietly. He would not come to the core area before 100,000 years.

Unfortunately, there were too few high-age soul beasts in the outer area, and it was meaningless to continue wasting time there. He could only take a risk and go deep into the core area to develop in advance.

"Anyway, let's find a soul beast to have a snack first!"

The nine-headed giant snake opens its senses and explores the scent of its prey.

Soon, his eyes locked on a certain direction.

"Such a rich aura...it must be a soul beast with a high-level bloodline!"

Following the direction of the breath, Li Changan could not wait to twist his snake body and start moving forward. At the same time, he did his best to restrain his breath to avoid scaring away the prey. After a while.

Li Changan finally saw the true form of his prey.

It was a giant scorpion six meters long.

Unlike ordinary scorpions, the scorpion in front of him has an extremely graceful posture, a long and narrow body, smooth contours, and a very coordinated proportion of its head, torso, two claws and six limbs. It also has diamond-like hexagonal crystals that refract fascinating bright light in the sun!
But what is even more eye-catching is its sharp scorpion tail that is raised high. Whether it is the rugged joints or the ferocious tail hook, it presents a gorgeous and noble color like icy jade.

"This is the Ice Scorpion!"

Li Changan's eyes lit up when he saw this. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a rare high-level soul beast just after entering the core area.

Among the soul beasts in the Far North, there are three most powerful soul beasts, who are named the Three Kings of the Far North.

They are Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, and Titan Snow Demon King!

The Ice Emperor's race is the Ice Jade Scorpion. Because it is the strongest of the race, it is also honored as the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, with nearly 400,000 years of cultivation... Of course, the information here refers to the Douluo II period ten thousand years later.

He didn't know how long the Ice Emperor of the current Douluo period would last. After all, that was a matter of ten thousand years.

"I don't know how much improvement this Ice Jade Scorpion can bring to me." Li Changan's nine snake heads and eighteen eyes stared at the Ice Jade Scorpion that was leisurely basking in the sun, and he was almost drooling with greed.

Judging from the black soul light emanating from the surface of this Ice Jade Scorpion, it can be judged that it should be ten thousand years old. As for how many tens of thousands of years it is, it is unknown.

Anyway, Li Changan did not feel the slightest threat from this ten thousand year old Ice Jade Scorpion. From this, it can be seen that it should not be too old. It is definitely not a powerful soul beast that is more than 90,000 years old and close to 100,000 years old.

In that case, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Just go ahead and it's done.

It’s still the same old routine, release the aura of pressure first!
"Hey!!!"

The ten thousand year old ice jade scorpion, which was originally resting in the sun, suddenly let out a high-frequency sharp whistle. In the yellow diamond-like scorpion eyes, a human-like panic appeared! It showed a high level of intelligence.

But it's normal to think about it. After all, the Ice Scorpion is not only one of the three major races in the Far North, but also a soul beast with extreme ice attributes. It is definitely the top race among soul beasts. It is normal for it to have a high intelligence after only ten thousand years.

Possessing a high level of intelligence, this Ice Jade Scorpion would not be frightened and slaughtered like ordinary soul beasts.

When facing an opponent that is beyond their strength, the first reaction of any living being is to run away!

This ice scorpion is no exception.

Just whoosh.

It turned into a green afterimage and fled madly. Li Changan, who had just appeared, was stunned. Since awakening the Nine Infants bloodline, it was the first time he saw a soul beast that could muster the courage to escape under his majesty.

And he escaped so decisively.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Li Changan thought to himself that this was a bad idea, and quickly twisted his snake body to chase after it. He would not let go of such a good prey.
