Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 53 The Hunted Poyi Clan

When they saw the soul bones, the four of them were stunned.

Tang Hao was puzzled: "What kind of luck is this? Killing two soul beasts in a row and both of them dropped soul bones."

Gula also realized that his luck was too good. He recalled the communication with the plane consciousness and became thoughtful.

"The child of destiny."

Gula thought of this possibility and smiled lightly in disapproval.

With the existence of the system, luck is just the icing on the cake. It is better to keep your feet on the ground and persist in practicing instead of pinning your hopes on illusory luck.

He tossed the left arm bone of the human-faced demon spider, turned around and said, "Five thousand year old soul bones are a bit low for us. Let's find a chance to sell them and exchange them for medicinal herbs."

Tang San nodded. He naturally looked down on the thousand-year soul bone. "Your soul bone, just deal with it yourself."

Xiao Wu didn't care about the soul bones. She looked regretful and said, "What bad luck! I didn't have time to finish the energy cubes. They all fell to the ground and burned up."

She looked at Gula eagerly, hoping that Gula could understand her hint.

Gula glanced at the system panel, which indicated that all three feeding interactions for the day had been completed. He politely declined, "If you're hungry, eat something else."

"No, give me a few more."

Xiao Wu went over to massage Gula's shoulders, acting coquettishly and cutely.

Gula was unmoved. His points didn't come from the wind. If he didn't calculate them carefully, the system would not pity him when he needed them.

While the three were chatting, footsteps were heard in the woods.

"The fire is right ahead. Those guys are injured and can't run far with the two little girls. They must be hiding nearby. Find them for me!"

Gula hissed, signaling Tang San and Xiao Wu to hide. The three of them gathered their spirit power and hid behind a big tree under the cover of night.

Five men in black walked out of the woods, emitting strong fluctuations of soul power. At least Gula couldn't tell their level, but they were probably above the fourth-ring soul master.

Gula's heart tightened. He could still deal with one or two Soul Masters, but five of them came at once. He hoped that Tang Hao would not be distracted at the critical moment like Xuanzi, and would not show up until there were heavy casualties.

The men in black were obviously stunned when they saw the forest burned to charcoal. This was not what they expected.

"Boss!"

A man in black, who seemed to be a spirit master of the Agility Attack type, was exploring the way ahead with light steps. He discovered the wound on the human-faced demon spider and spoke with excitement.

The leader of the men in black focused his gaze: "These traces... someone has obtained a soul bone!"

Behind the tree, Gula looked frustrated. He had indeed forgotten to deal with the traces of the human-faced demon spider, mainly because it was his first time and he had no experience, but who could have expected that someone would come by chance?

The eyes of the five men in black were full of greed, and the atmosphere between them became a little tense.

The leader of the men in black noticed the change in atmosphere and shouted, "Assholes! Wake up, everyone! Don't start a fight among yourselves before you find the soul bone!"

"Also, if we find those people from the Poyi Clan and recover their treasures, the head of the family will reward us."

After hearing the leader of the black-clothed men mention the patriarch, the other black-clothed men calmed down considerably. However, a hint of disapproval flashed in the eyes of the agile attack-type spirit master who was exploring the path.
What reward could compare to a soul bone? Even a soul bone from a human-faced demon spider? With just one soul bone to help him, he had the confidence to reach the Soul Saint realm.

"Black Panther, smell the scent. You will be the first to find the person."

The leader of the men in black looked at the agile attacking soul master with a cold gaze, as if warning him not to have any ulterior motives.

The martial soul of the agile attack type soul master is the black panther. It is difficult to conceal the martial soul during action, so they use the martial soul as a code name.

When the Black Panther Soul Master is possessed by his martial spirit, his sense of smell is keen, and he moves his nose to capture the odor factors in the air.

Tang San's heart tightened. They couldn't swallow the energy cubes in one go. Biting through the thin membrane on the surface of the energy cubes would inevitably leak out some of the scent. He himself could smell the faint fragrance on his body, let alone the Beast Spirit Master.

So he raised his eyebrows at Gula, raised his hand and pointed to the left, then pointed at himself and gestured to the right.

To strike first is to be strong, but to strike later is to suffer disaster.

Tang San obviously understood this principle well.

The power of the sleeve arrows is limited, but he has a crossbow strapped tightly to his back. The arrows are coated with poison, which is enough to kill an unsuspecting Soul Sect member by surprise.

In a short period of time, Gula had absorbed strength from the earth and restored his full soul power. He nodded heavily at Tang San, silently agreeing to his plan.

Xiao Wu pointed at herself, opened her mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Tang San wanted to refuse, as he thought Xiao Wu, a girl, could just hide behind him.

Gula was not as optimistic as Tang San. To be cautious, he stretched out two fingers, signaling Xiao Wu to use the clone of her second soul skill to attract the attention of the man in black.

Xiao Wu understood the meaning of the gesture and nodded in agreement, looking eager to try it out.

The three of them were ready, and the Black Panther Spirit Master was about to speak when Tang San appeared from behind a tree, suddenly squatted down, lowered his head and pulled the mechanism on his waist. A half-meter-long arrow flew out with a whoosh, and the arrow head glowed with a faint blue light in the hazy moonlight, hitting the Black Panther Spirit Master's throat.

Seal the throat with one arrow!
The Black Panther Soul Master covered his throat, black blood flowing out of the wound. His legs went limp and he fell to the ground. He was silent in the blink of an eye, and died with his eyes open.

Gula's move was a beat slower, but before the man in black could react, he spewed out a two-meter-wide wave of lava.

Breathing fire!

Three Xiao Wus jumped out from behind the tree, leaping in the woods with vigorous steps, rushing towards the man in black from both sides of the magma, the purple second ring was so dazzling.

Yinyue clone!

"Black Panther!"

The leader of the men in black exclaimed, and when he saw the Black Panther Soul Master falling, he cursed: "Waste!"

His eyes were fierce, and a long sword appeared in his hand. The five soul rings, three yellow and two purple, indicated his identity as a five-ring soul king.

"Soul King? Fortunately, I don't have a ten thousand year soul ring."

Gula breathed a sigh of relief. Whether a Soul King has a ten thousand year soul ring or not is a different level of combat power.

He activated the Lava Immortal Body, transformed into the spirit of magma, struck a bodybuilding posture, and strengthened his attack and defense capabilities.

Seeing Gula standing still, the leader of the men in black sneered, "Looking for death!"

The third soul skill, the soul-chasing sword slash!
It deals double the damage at an extremely fast speed, and when it is released, there are no obvious features except that the soul ring lights up.

The opponent needs to constantly guess whether the next attack will use a soul skill, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to be caught off guard and hit.

Gula did not see any elemental aura on the long sword, so he did not move at all and took the blow from the leader of the men in black.

With a "whoosh", the long knife chopped down and penetrated into Gula's body, cutting Gula's upper body in half, revealing the red magma inside, but not a drop of blood flowed out.

The leader of the men in black was stunned for a moment, obviously he had never seen such an advanced soul skill as elementalization.

But he was able to cultivate to the level of a five-ring soul king, and his reaction was not slow. He withdrew his martial soul, and at the same time, the soul power on the fourth soul ring fluctuated violently.

"too slow."

Gula was filled with contempt, and his hands turned into sharp claws with blazing flames attached to them. Under the illumination of the light ball in the sky, he swung them out suddenly.

Fire fist!
