Douluo Continent: Starting from Leading Ferocious Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 41 New Soul Beasts

"There really is?"

Some demons, whose strength was not even as great as Xiong Jun, found themselves surrounded by this sound when they arrived here. Covering their ears didn't work; they could only block it out with their minds.

"I didn't hear it; you have to connect manually."

Gu Yuena floated in the air, her mental domain automatically shielding her from this mental thought.

"Mr. Bear!"

The three-eyed golden lion looked at Xiong Jun with a faint smile in its tone.

"Auspicious beast, have you found it?"

Xiong Jun still couldn't figure out where it was, so he just used his mental power to search again.

Have you looked under your feet?

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was barely holding back its laughter; this guy really hadn't quite caught up in the moment.

"Underfoot?"

Xiong Jun was a little confused. He had indeed probed the depth of the area with his mental energy during the search, about five meters deep, to make sure that not even an ant was missed.

The demons all smiled, realizing that Xiong Jun had been searching everywhere, only to find that the person hadn't moved an inch.

"No wonder Xiong Jun was so hard to find; it's indeed quite deep."

Gu Yuena did not join in mocking Xiong Jun. Instead, she used her mental power to penetrate deeper into the soil, and after penetrating hundreds of meters, she finally located the source of that mental thought.

"Stop laughing, you might not have expected this even if you came here."

Di Tian spoke up and gently rebuked the demons, but his tone also carried an undisguised smile.

Xiong Jun used to find him disgusting every day. Except when he was in seclusion, he would fight him once every few hundred years, and he would bother him every time he recovered from his injuries.

Although he didn't hate Xiong Jun, he was still very happy that Xiong Jun had been humiliated to this extent.

Xiong Jun channeled his spiritual power deep underground and found the "ghost" that had been haunting him.

"Damn it, come out here!"

Xiong Jun was somewhat embarrassed, so he stomped his right foot heavily, causing the earth to rumble with a mournful sound.

The ground beneath their feet began to tremble, and the noise grew louder and louder. Then, the demons' perspective rose higher and higher, and the earth began to rise.

An earthy yellow halo enveloped the land, preventing the soil beneath their feet from collapsing.

The demons exchanged glances, then took flight and hovered in the air.

Since the unknown creature was buried underground, Xiong Jun decided to dig it out, even if it meant lifting up the hundreds of meters of soil.

The commotion caused panic among the spirit beasts in the forest, who fled to more distant places.

The massive clods of earth moved silently through the air, like silent war fortresses.

Xiong Jun let out a soft breath. In the past, he would never have dared to imagine that he could do such a thing. He would have been lucky if he could have left a claw mark more than ten meters deep on the ground with his Sky-Tearing Claw.

"who I am?"

"Where am I?"

"Where am I going?"

These three sentences lingered in the ears of the demons, who flew in the air, silently watching the "being" in the deep pit.

It was an enormous silver vein, and without the constraints of the soil, the vein began to writhe in the deep pit.

"This is……"

Xiong Jun saw the creature that kept buzzing in his ear; it turned out to be a metal ore vein that had developed sentience.

With a massive metal core and various metals from the ore vein forming its body, it resembles a giant metal dragon twisting and coiling in the deep pit.

"Is this the new change that Commander Lu told us to pay attention to?"

The Demon King exhaled deeply. Metal had developed sentience, something that had never happened in the past hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, yet he had witnessed it today.

"This metal has a good effect on the conduction of spiritual energy, and it also seems to be able to store a portion of spiritual energy, which is lost relatively slowly."

Gu Yuena gently sliced ​​across the body of the "metal dragon" with a wind blade, transferring a small piece of metal to her own dragon claw to begin testing.

"Perhaps it is because of this effect that it is now able to develop intelligence, and it is because of this hazy intelligence and enormous spiritual power that it was able to make that call that Xiong Jun could hear."

Di Tian murmured, looking at the "giant dragon" in the deep pit.

"This also means that everything in the Star Dou Great Forest may develop sentience and begin to transform into a demon. Perhaps one day, while you are resting on a rock, the rock will say, 'Don't sit on me, you fatso.'"

The Red King, with his three heads shaking, spoke, and the demons instinctively turned their gazes toward the Bear King.

"I'm strong, not fat!"

Seeing the demons staring at him, Xiong Jun said somewhat resentfully.

"With a metal vein of this size, even an ordinary god might not be able to defeat it once its intelligence is fully awakened. Just the refined body alone would be enough to make it suffer for the opponent."

A faint smile appeared on Di Tian's face. Although the other party did not belong to the normal soul beast race, it was still a new soul beast. Demons also had to keep up with the times and could not be the ones who blocked the tide of the times.

"What if we refined the other person's body into a magical artifact?"

Xiong Jun looked at the still writhing metal dragon below and smiled maliciously.

"Then you might get beaten up by them!"

The Crimson King shook his head and laughed, "All you do is spout nonsense. Just breathing fire right now is tiring enough. You want me to keep breathing fire to refine it into a magic weapon? Get lost."

"That's pretty good. It's sturdy and can take a beating, making it a good target in combat, and it can even move to fight back."

Zi Ji was somewhat eager to try. Other demons didn't want to fight her every day, but now that this race had appeared, she could probably have a good time fighting them.

"This metal vein is probably only a few hundred meters long. There must be much longer veins on the continent, thousands or even tens of thousands of meters long, or perhaps famous mountains in various places. If they all developed sentience..."

Gu Yuena's voice grew softer and softer.

The demons looked at their current height of only a few meters. Although they had changed, their original forms were still mostly inferior to these mineral veins and mountains.

"Go back and cultivate diligently!"

"At least I can dodge one of their attacks!"

It's unclear who first said it, but the rest of the demons chimed in.

"Bear, pay close attention when you insert the array pillars. Record any places where you can still hear sounds, and scan the ground when you have free time."

Gu Yuena looked at Xiong Jun with a serious expression and said.

"After all, it was the first one you encountered, so maybe you're destined to have it."

"Yes, my lord!"

Xiong Jun's face fell, but he still agreed.

"Demon Spirit, when you have free time, talk to it here and instill some basic common sense about soul beasts and demons, so that it will at least accept its identity as a soul beast in the future."

Gu Yuena turned to the little purple beast beside her and gave it an order.

"Yes, my lord."

The demon's soft, sweet voice rang out. It didn't matter where it drew the talisman; it could even talk to the other party when it had nothing to do.

"Let's welcome the rebirth of the Soul Beast race together!"

"Thank you, Professor Lu."

Gu Yuena lowered her head slightly.

"Thank you, Professor Lu."

The demons bowed their heads in gratitude to Lu Wu.

In the deep pit, the metal vein resembles a giant dragon dancing wildly, as if performing a sacrificial dance of gratitude.
