Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 257 Seizing food from the tiger’s mouth
One of the two main forces to deal with the hundred thousand year old sea urchin soul beast.

Gu Rong's martial soul, the bone dragon, is an undead dragon-type martial soul with spatial attributes. If he does not follow the path of a defensive soul master, he can only embark on the path of a fallen being.

Therefore, Gu Rong had no choice but to choose the defense system.

But Xu Xuchen's Star Crown Martial Soul is different.

There are five major categories of soul masters: strong attack, agile attack, defense, control, and auxiliary. No matter which training route, the owner of the Star Crown Martial Soul can choose to practice.

The lineage that Xu Xuchen belongs to is a lineage that specializes in practicing defense.

But now he regretted that he had practiced the defense system. If he had insisted on practicing the strong attack system, he would not be helpless when facing the 100,000-year-old sea urchin soul beast in front of him.

In fact, the three of them knew very well that they had no means to break the sea urchin soul beast's defense, and there was no hope of taking down this 100,000-year-old sea urchin soul beast.

But if they were asked to give up, they would be reluctant to do so.

This damn sea urchin soul beast swallowed two hundred thousand year soul bones into its stomach.

The two hundred thousand year soul bones were obtained by their hard work in hunting down two hundred thousand year sea soul beasts. Before they had the time to discuss how to divide the two soul bones among the three of them, the two hundred thousand year soul bones were swallowed by the hundred thousand year sea urchin soul beast hiding in the dark.

Seeing that the hundred thousand year soul bone that was about to be in their hands flew away, how could they tolerate this? Without saying a word, they fought with the hundred thousand year old sea urchin soul beast in anger.

Among the hundred thousand year old sea soul beasts that have lost their minds, the sea urchin has inhaled a small amount, so the medicinal properties in its body are not enough to allow the bloodthirsty beast nature to suppress its mind.

The reason why it wanted to swallow the two hundred thousand year soul bones was simply because it didn't want its companion's remains to be ruined by human soul masters.

Of course, this is also because the three humans in front of it do not pose a threat to itself, so it chooses to do this. If the other party has the means to threaten its life, the friendship of companions is not as important as its own life.

Several tickling attacks hit the sea urchin soul beast. When it was about to continue fighting, a sound wave of a special frequency reached its mind.

"All sea soul beasts, listen up! Retreat!"

The owner of this special sound wave is a giant deep-sea whale with a cultivation history of 600,000 years.

Because of his powerful cultivation strength, he is honored as the Deep Sea Giant Whale King by a group of sea soul beasts. He is also the one with the highest cultivation among the drugged sea soul beasts.

The three races of deep-sea demon whales, deep-sea giant whales, and three-eyed demon whales are the three most powerful races among all whale soul beasts.

The deep sea magic whale clan has a deep sea magic whale king who has a cultivation history of one million years, while the deep sea giant whale and the three-eyed magic whale each have a cultivation history of up to 600,000 years.

The three ocean giants do not believe in Poseidon. The Deep Sea Giant Whale King appeared in the sea outside Poseidon City to watch the ceremony, but he only came to Poseidon City out of curiosity to kill time.

The powerful cultivation allowed the Deep Sea Giant Whale King to suppress the bloodthirsty animal nature in his body, so he did not follow the other sea soul beasts into the city.

At this moment, when the medicinal properties in the body dissipated, it immediately issued a retreat order to the sea soul beasts in Poseidon City.

Be it Poseidon or the middle-aged man who injured Poseidon, neither of them is something that the Deep Sea Giant Whale King can afford to offend. It does not want to become the soul ring and soul bone of a human soul master, which is why it ordered a retreat.

Since we can't afford to provoke them, at least we can hide from them.

As for losing face, soul beasts are not humans and do not need to care about useless things.

"Lord Poseidon has ordered a retreat. In this case, I can't waste any more time here. I have to find a way to escape from the encirclement of these three humans." The sea urchin soul beast stopped attacking and stood there thinking, allowing those damaging attacks to fall on it.

There are many sea soul beasts in the city now, and the masters among humans will not gather together for a while.

But if all the other sea soul beasts left, and it was the only one left behind by the three humans in front of it, then one can imagine what the fate would be. It would definitely become the soul ring and soul bone of a human soul master.

At the thought of such a miserable end, the sea urchin soul beast couldn't help but shudder, and swallowed out the two hundred thousand year soul bones in its body without any hesitation.

In order to facilitate its escape, it cleverly spit out the two soul bones in opposite directions.

"Hmm? Good opportunity!"

When Dugu Bo and the other two saw the soul bone appear, they set out to snatch it almost at the same time.

Among the three, Gu Rong's space soul skills and Xu Xuchen's star soul skills gave them the upper hand, and they tacitly did not target the same soul bone.

Therefore, Dugu Bo, who was at a disadvantage in speed, naturally failed to snatch the other party because he and Xu Xuchen were fighting for the same soul bone, allowing Xu Xuchen to successfully obtain the hundred thousand year soul bone.

The other hundred thousand year soul bone was in the completely opposite direction, and it was completely too late to chase after Gu Rong now.

Dugu Bo looked back and saw Gu Rong using the space soul skill to appear in front of another soul bone, and was about to reach out to take the soul bone.

However, an accident happened at this time.

Just before the hundred thousand year old soul bone was about to fall into Gu Rong's hands, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space, and a white hand stretched out from the void, grabbed the soul bone, and then immediately retracted its hand into the void.

A ripple appeared in the space again, and the hundred thousand year soul bone disappeared along with the white palm.

Gu Rong was stunned. After a moment of silence, he roared:
"Who is it? You're sneaking around. Come out here if you can!"

Not far away, the Heart of Poseidon was hidden in a shield.

Lin Rong, who had just arrived here, felt a faint breath of light and death from the void in addition to the rich breath of space.

"auspicious!"

There was a flash of heat in Lin Rong's eyes. He didn't expect that Jixiang, whom he had been looking for for so long, would appear right under his nose.

"You are hanging out with the inheritor of the God of Space? So what? You must hand over the inheritance of the God of Light to me today no matter what!"

"Grandpa Yu, I'll be back soon!" Time was urgent, Lin Rong only had time to say this to the old butler, then hurriedly dived into the void to chase after him.

Although Lin Rong did not explain the reason, the old butler probably guessed something from his anxious expression.

"Young Master..."

He was worried about Lin Rong chasing after him alone, but he had no spatial attributes and could not enter the void, so he could only sigh inwardly.

Then, the old butler looked aside and said to Oscar:
"Give me the Heart of the Seagod. Your soul power cannot sustain the consumption of the invisibility hood."
