Douluo: Suzaku bathed in fire, I am the master of fire

Chapter 61: Soul Hunt, Red Flame Swallows Skylark
"I remember you were going to challenge the fourth ring of ten thousand years, right?" After sighing for a while, Dugu Bo suddenly remembered Ye Qiu's previous thoughts.

"Yeah." Ye Qiu nodded.

Previously, Ye Qiu took a plant of Wangchuanqiushui Dew in order to absorb the fourth ring of the ten thousand year old medicine. Now, two years have passed and most of the medicinal effects have been absorbed. His physical fitness has been greatly enhanced due to the extreme properties, so he can now give it a try.

"Okay, but I have to test it for safety reasons." Dugu Bo began to test Ye Qiu's mental strength and physical fitness.

It didn't take long for Dugu Bo to check Ye Qiu's physical fitness and mental strength.

He couldn't help but laugh and patted Ye Qiu's shoulder and spoke.

"Xiao Qiu, your spiritual power has reached the Soul King level, which means you can try for the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring you requested at the fourth soul ring."

Hearing this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He naturally knew that this ten thousand year soul ring was not simple.

That's why he specially swallowed this magical herb two years ago. Fortunately, the effect of Wangchuanqiushui Dew did not disappoint him.

So after Dugu Bo and Ye Qiu tidied up, they set out on the road to the Star Dou Great Forest.

As for why they didn't hunt in the Sunset Forest, it was because of the level of the soul beasts in the Sunset Forest.

Basically around ten thousand years.

In terms of species, the Star Dou Great Forest also seemed a bit barren. Dugu Bo checked Ye Qiu's mental strength and body.

A conclusion has been reached, that is, Ye Qiu’s fourth soul ring can be considered to be around 15 to 16 thousand years old.

In this case, it would be difficult to find a suitable soul beast in Sunset Forest.

The reason why Ye Qiu did not object was because he knew that there were not many options available to him in Sunset Forest right now.

With the help of Dugu Bo's speed as a Titled Douluo, it only took the two of them two days to reach the Star Dou Great Forest.

Since they had made preparations before setting off, the two did not choose to go to a nearby town for supplies.

Instead, he chose to plunge directly into the Star Dou Great Forest.

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, due to Ye Qiu's attributes, the two of them headed directly towards the location of the Immortal Volcano.

The Undead Volcano is located in the south of the Star Dou Great Forest and in the north of the Vast Ocean. Due to the conflict between water and fire, the volcano here is very prone to eruption. People without superb life-saving abilities dare not come here to obtain soul rings.

Because of the abundant fire energy, the area around the volcano is basically full of fire-attribute soul beasts. These soul beasts are irritable and easily angered, and are either fighting or on the way to a fight.

Because of the above reasons, soul beasts are rare here. These violent old guys have no fear and will fight to the death with humans.

The Undead Volcano is very large, and the two of them searched for three whole days without finding a suitable one. Either the fire energy was not enough, or the age was not suitable, but Ye Qiu had already gotten used to it.

It was not until he went deep into the Undead Volcano that Dugu Bo saw a strange scene.

The surface magma continuously erupted, the scorching heat engulfing the surroundings. There was little vegetation on the volcano to begin with, and even less here. And yet, next to the magma, on the bare ground, a tree grew. The tree was crimson, as if carved from agate. Its dense branches reached up to the sky, like a giant torch.

Although the leaves of this tree have fallen, it is not difficult to see that it is still alive.

"Strange, why is there a tree here?" Dugu Bo asked in confusion.

Logically speaking, it is extremely difficult for plants to survive in a volcano, and they are even rarer here. Even if there are any, they should have turned into charcoal or died. However, what Dugu Bo cannot understand is that this tree is still alive.

"Could it be a paulownia tree? But paulownia trees have leaves." Suddenly Dugu Bo thought of the paulownia tree.

According to legend, the Wutong tree is the habitat of the phoenix, but there are no purebred phoenixes on the Douluo Continent, only bird soul beasts with phoenix blood. Could it be that this tree is the habitat of a bird with phoenix blood?

"Wow!"

Before Dugu Bo could think more, a roar came from a distance.

"Let's go and take a look." Dugu Bo said as he pulled Ye Qiu's arm and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

Soon, the two arrived at the place where the sound came from.

"Is this, the Scarlet Flame Swallowing Skylark?" Dugu Bo was shocked.

I saw a giant bird in the sky, with a wingspan of fifteen meters. When it flapped its wings, it brought with it red flames that baked the earth, causing the originally dry earth to crack instantly.

Legend has it that the Scarlet Flame Swallowing Skylark possesses the blood of the Phoenix, surviving by devouring fire. Its racial abilities are exceptionally powerful. It possesses a natural burning effect during combat, recovering quickly, as if it had a nurse providing support. Furthermore, it can unleash powerful attacks, and near volcanoes, it can even trigger eruptions. The lava eruption just now might have been caused by this soul beast.

Ye Qiu's eyes lit up. The Scarlet Flame Swallowing Skylark was what he had wanted since his second soul ring, but the age of the second soul ring was not too high, and there was no such soul beast in the Sunset Forest. Ye Qiu had no choice but to give up.

"What a pity, this soul beast is too old, about 20,000 years old, otherwise it would be very suitable for you." Dugu Bo shook his head regretfully.

The Scarlet Flame Skylark in front of him had a wingspan of about fifteen meters and a body length of ten meters. It was approximately twenty thousand years old. A Scarlet Flame Skylark of this age already had abilities comparable to ordinary fifty to sixty thousand year old soul beasts, which was equivalent to the Soul Douluo level among humans.

However, what Dugu Bo did not expect was that Ye Qiu not only did not retreat, but his eyes revealed his eagerness to try.

"Come on, teacher, this is it." Ye Qiu said excitedly.

"Have you thought it through? Even though this soul beast is only 20,000 years old, the strength of its soul ring is at least comparable to that of a 40,000 or 50,000-year-old beast." Dugu Bo dissuaded him.

Coupled with the terrifying fact that the Scarlet Flame Swallowing Skylark carries the bloodline of the Phoenix, the spirit ring produced by this being is no less powerful than an ordinary 40,000 to 50,000-year-old spirit ring.

"Teacher, don't forget the ability of my martial soul. It can suppress birds by 50%, and it can absorb them." Ye Qiu patted his chest and explained.

A soul beast with 20,000-year-old phoenix bloodline is extremely suitable for Ye Qiu. In addition, he already has an extra 50% suppression against dragons and birds, as well as the improvement of the Longing Dew and the ultimate attribute, so he thinks he can give it a try. Moreover, this soul beast is too suitable for him, and he doesn't want to miss it.

"Okay." Seeing Ye Qiu so determined, Dugu Bo didn't know what to say. After all, this soul beast was extremely suitable, and the older it was, the better.
