Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

Qin Shan leaned closer, looking at the seemingly decent-looking pills in the porcelain bottle, and couldn't help but ask a question.

Faced with the doubts, Lin Chuan was not angry. Instead, he shrugged confidently and said, "Why don't you try and see?"

"Fine!"

Shui Lanxin turned the porcelain bottle upside down and poured out a Nourishing Essence Pill.

It is a small, round grain with a faint line on it that you might not notice if you don't look closely.

"Let me do it!"

Seeing that Shui Lanxin hesitated to take a bite, Leng Man picked up the Nourishing Essence Pill and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Director Leng, how are you feeling?" Qin Shan asked curiously.

"The effect is very good. My mind feels refreshed and I feel much more relieved of mental fatigue. It's very comfortable."

Leng Man's eyes lit up for once, and she looked at Lin Chuan with surprise.

I didn't expect it to actually work, and the effect was so good.

"real?!"

Shui Lanxin and Qin Shan both let out a soft cry and swallowed a Nourishing Essence Pill one after another. A few breaths later, they indeed felt the sensation that Leng Man had described.

My previously tired mind suddenly felt much better, as if I had taken a good nap.

"It really works! Xiao Chuan, how did you mix it?"

Shui Lanxin couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

How many more surprises does this little guy have in store?

Meeting the three curious gazes, Lin Chuan chuckled softly.

Of course it's useful. Although it's just an ordinary Grade One Nourishing Essence Pill, Lin Chuan has refined it, so its effect is comparable to a Grade Two pill. The effect is naturally beyond imagination.

"Roar--"

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from afar, drawing everyone's attention.

"A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, it seems quite close. Let's go take a look!"

After taking the essence-nourishing pill, everyone regained their energy.

Following the direction from which the sound came, the four of them stood on two large trees and looked up.

Upon recognizing the soul beast that had unleashed the roar, Lin Chuan's eyes widened in astonishment.

"It's actually a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and its cultivation level is over ten thousand years!"

"Hiss... Sunset Forest actually has this kind of soul beast?"

Shui Lanxin and the others also gasped in shock.

No wonder they were surprised. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a top-tier soul beast. It is said to possess some of the bloodline of the Behemoth and is extremely skilled in attack and defense. It is said that an adult Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can even contend with a dragon.

"How could there be such a terrifying soul beast in Sunset Forest?"

Leng Man frowned slightly, her expression showing a hint of confusion.

It should be noted that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, with a cultivation level of ten thousand years, can even fight against a Title Douluo, which shows just how terrifying its bloodline is.

They dared not provoke this ancient, dark gold dinosaur bear.

"Let's go, but don't get caught, or it'll be a real problem."

Shui Lanxin snapped out of her daze and whispered a few words to everyone, but when she saw the light in Lin Chuan's eyes, an absurd thought suddenly popped into her mind.

"No way, Xiao Chuan, you don't actually want to absorb the spirit ring of this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, do you?"

"I do have that idea," Lin Chuan nodded honestly.

Shui Lanxin's lips twitched slightly, her face bitter. "Little guy, please spare us. This big guy might be able to go toe-to-toe with a Title Douluo. Even if we all joined forces, we wouldn't be a match for him."

"Dean Shui, don't worry, I don't plan for you to fight it."

"Then how do you subdue it?"

"Well... let's ask someone for help!"

Lin Chuan smiled mysteriously.

Chapter 57 You don't want to see Dugu Yan die from the poison either, do you?

"Xiao Chuan, are you sure you don't need us to come along?"

Within the Sunset Forest, Shui Lanxin spoke softly.

Although she didn't know exactly what Lin Chuan was going to do, since it was about plotting against that ten-thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur claw bear, only a titled Douluo would be able to subdue it. Since it was related to a titled Douluo, it would definitely be quite dangerous for Lin Chuan to go alone.

“No need, Dean Shui. I didn’t expect to encounter the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in Sunset Forest either. But since we’ve run into it, we can’t let it pass. You can’t help us anyway, so we might as well go back first.”

Dugu Bo has a bad temper, and besides, Shui Lanxin and the others are useless, so it's better to go alone.

"You little rascal, you're already starting to look down on us?"

Shui Lanxin grumbled irritably, but then shook her head firmly.

"Although we don't know what you're going to do, we came out together, so we'll naturally return together. The three of us will follow the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and then we'll take action together when you come back."

"I see... alright then, but Dean, please be careful."

Hearing Shui Lanxin's undeniable words, Lin Chuan did not continue to persuade her.

With their combined strength, as long as they don't provoke the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, they can at least protect themselves, if not roam freely in Sunset Forest.

To prevent any accidents, Lin Chuan also left behind several bottles of pills.

After the spirit refinement process, even for Soul Douluo, the effect is quite good. With pills like Essence Nourishing Pill, Qi Recovery Pill, and Wind Travel Pill, one can calmly deal with dangers.

Looking at the various kinds of pills in her hand, Shui Lanxin's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

It seems I underestimated this little guy!

"Dean Shui, Director Leng, Teacher Qin, please be careful."

Lin Chuan solemnly gave a word of advice, then turned and left alone.

Sunset Forest is not as vast as Starry Sky Forest, and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is close to a volcano, so it is not difficult to find even if you don't know the exact location.

You need to be careful of the spirit beasts that inhabit the forest.

"This should be right here?"

After spending most of the day, Lin Chuan finally stopped in a place with high mountains and deep valleys.

Looking up, a thick, dark green toxic fog appeared in the distance, which looked extremely dangerous. Even from a distance, one could still smell the stench permeating the air.

This must be the poison array set up by Dugu Bo. The poisonous miasma envelops the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. Apart from a few plants that can barely grow, it would be extremely dangerous for any human or soul beast to accidentally wander into it.

"Even the sky is filled with poisonous fog; Dugu Bo is truly cautious!"

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, swallowed a poison-repelling pill, and raised his right palm, causing golden flames and earth fire to appear.

Stepping towards the poisonous fog, the golden flames in the air burned it into nothingness as soon as it got close. Under the protection of the Golden Flame Earth Fire, the brightly colored poisonous fog could not cause any harm to Lin Chuan.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chuan was secretly delighted.

Originally, it was uncertain how long the Poison-Repelling Pill would last, but now with the Golden Flame Earth Fire, there's no need to worry.

Knowing that the poisonous fog posed no threat to him, Lin Chuan did not hesitate any longer and strode into the fog. Using his Observation Haki, he avoided the special plants in the fog and headed straight for the center.

It didn't take long to easily cross the poisonous miasma area.

A small hill stood starkly before Lin Chuan.

Almost at the very moment Lin Chuan crossed the poison array, an old man with a full head of green hair suddenly looked up in the direction Lin Chuan was in.

"How dare someone break into my poison array!"

A turquoise light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he snorted coldly, a chilling aura emanating from his body.

"call!"

Suddenly, the old man soared into the air, transforming into a strange green light that vanished instantly into the valley, rapidly approaching Lin Chuan's location.

"coming?!"

Lin Chuan naturally noticed Dugu Bo's approach immediately.

The terrifying sense of oppression, though not as great as Tang Hao's, was still chilling, and there was an almost undisguised malice, suggesting that he would probably attack immediately upon meeting.

Lin Chuan's expression was solemn. He slightly bent his fingers, and Night Shadow appeared in his palm. At the same time, he also gripped the Martial Soul Longbow in his other hand, quietly waiting for Dugu Bo's arrival.

A moment later, a streak of emerald green light appeared before them, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking through the air.

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow and dodged away.

As the light faded, a tall, thin old man slowly emerged, his expression completely stiff, his cheeks deeply sunken as if carved by a knife, and his dark green hair and pupils particularly striking.

"Huh? It dodged it, and it's just a kid?"
