Chapter 96 Golden Iron-Eating Beast Behemoth

Iron-eating beast, in Flanders' previous life, was jokingly referred to as the former name of the panda, and was the mount of Chi You.

However, it is actually half a rumor, with a credibility similar to that of Sun Wukong in Journey to the West being the incarnation of Nuwa's patching stone.

In the Douluo Continent, "Iron-eating Beast" is a general term. As long as it has the ability to devour mineral veins and has a metallic skin, it is considered an Iron-eating Beast. The species is not important, just like Bai Ze. There are many kinds, such as bears, tapirs, and deer.

The iron-eating beast that appeared before Flanders and his group looked like an ape, except that its fur was not silky but patchy, like it was wearing plate armor, which was very peculiar.

What's even more surprising is that this iron-eating beast is entirely golden, radiating a golden luster, and has a layer of dark patterns, making it look like an alloy.

Flanders looked him over, his gaze growing increasingly satisfied.

This iron-eating beast was also a mutation, but its mutation was more like a return to its ancestral form. From it, Flander sensed a trace of Behemoth aura.

Legend has it that in the ancient primordial era, the Behemoth race was a soul beast comparable to the dragon race, known as the dragon-eating beast, and their race possessed a born king—the Golden Behemoth.

How terrifying is the power of the Golden Behemoth? It is said that the fully evolved Golden Behemoth is comparable to a God King. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a descendant of the Behemoth, and even through bloodline reversion, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can only evolve into a Bronze Behemoth.

This iron-eating beast possesses the aura of a Behemoth, even if it is negligible.

Flander even vaguely sensed that the Behemoth bloodline possessed by this golden iron-eating beast was no less than that of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, and was even slightly superior.

So, according to this calculation—

Flander had a rough idea: this cave was likely connected to one of the ten most ferocious beasts located in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Related to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, King of Bears.

This golden iron-eating beast might even be an unknown descendant of the Bear King, since the species of iron-eating beasts is not fixed, they have the form of bears, and different species of iron-eating beasts can reproduce with each other.

The Bear King is extremely hostile to humans and very protective of its own kind. However, considering the appearance of a century-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Bone in later series, and the fact that a two-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can roam freely in the Great Forest, given the Bear King's muscle-bound nature, it may not be very good at managing its clan.

It's currently the time when they are feeding on the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworms, so it's normal for an excellent offspring to emerge, which would also benefit Xiao Sun.

Thinking this, Flander confirmed once again that the cave was located on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, and there was no trace of the aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. A smile appeared on his face.

"Iron-eating beast, a soul beast with both offense and defense, can feed on mineral veins, and its defense is comparable to that of a scaled beast. Not to mention that this is a mutant of the Iron-eating beast clan, which is even more powerful. I can even sense a trace of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's aura."

"A Dark Gold Devil Claw Bear!?"

This piqued Zhao Wuji's interest as well. As the undisputed pinnacle of bear-type spirit beasts, he had once dreamed of having a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear as his own spirit.

However, that was unlikely, so Zhao Wuji could only settle for second best and try to get a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Ring or Soul Bone.

Unfortunately, to this day, there has been no gain, but now it seems that it can be gained from one's own students?

"You old miser, wouldn't this suit Little Sun?"

"It suits you very well."

With a flick of his finger, he summoned the golden iron-eating beast with the wind, then tapped its body, producing a resounding metallic sound.

The iron-eating beast struggled and resisted, but to no avail. The wind held it firmly in place, preventing it from even making a sound.

"Let's go, this place is no good to stay any longer. Who knows if this little guy has any elders around? Let's leave here quickly and find a secluded place for Xiao Sun to absorb."

"Alright."

Flander held on tightly to one hand and carried him away from the cave at great speed, with Zhao Wuji following closely behind.

Within minutes, the group had vanished, leaving no trace in the cave.

Several days later, a huge creature slowly walked over, sniffed the ground with its nose, and, finding no familiar scent, tilted its head slightly in confusion.

In a secluded, cold place, Flander used the wind to erase any scent, so that even a 100,000-year-old canine spirit beast could not smell their presence.

After Ouyang Sun was ready, Flander handed him a sharp dagger.

"The Iron-Eating Beast's one of the few weaknesses on its body is its eyes. Its eyelids are made of metal for defense, but its eyeballs are not. They are only slightly stronger than its bones. If you pierce through them, you can reach its brain and kill it."

Flander thoughtfully explained to Ouyang Sun that he would then use the wind to pry open the eye sockets of the golden iron-eating beast.

A level 10 Soul Master without a ring hasn't fully developed yet, so he shouldn't go head-to-head with Soul Beasts. It's not like Flander can't defeat a 400-year-old Mandragora Serpent.

"Um!"

Ouyang Sun suppressed his excitement and nodded. Having survived in the mountains, he had already killed many animals, and this experience of obtaining his first soul ring was far better than Xiao Ao's experience of logging.

Click!

With a swift thrust of the dagger, Ouyang Sun cleanly plunged it into the eye socket of the Golden Iron-Eating Beast, then stirred it forcefully, instantly turning the beast's brain into mush.

The Golden Iron-Eating Beast died before it could even launch an attack, making it even more tragic than the Fire Giant Sequoia, which died before it even got off to a successful mission.

A faint sound appeared, and a golden, century-old soul ring emerged, unleashing a powerful attraction that drew Ouyang Sun's burning gaze.

"Alright, little Sun, prepare to absorb. Your talent surpasses Xiao Ao's in some aspects. Even after six hundred years, you're still just as good. Remember the breathing technique I taught you."

Moreover—”

Flander's eyes flickered as he looked at the powerful soul energy fluctuations within Ouyang Sun's body. For some reason, he felt that this child had a surprise waiting for him.

"Yes, teacher."

Ouyang Sun took a few deep breaths to suppress his excitement. After calming down, he drew the soul ring over and began to absorb it.

Buzz————

A barely perceptible fluctuation of soul power appeared. The moment Ouyang Sun absorbed the Golden Iron-Eating Beast's soul ring, the violence emanating from the soul ring instantly erupted.

But the next second, that violence was suppressed by Ouyang Sun, and a small monkey suddenly roared, its unrestrained aura spreading.

The faint consciousness of the Golden Iron-Eating Beast dissipated, followed by a gigantic shadow originating from the depths of its bloodline, so incomplete that its full form could not be seen.

Flander looked Ouyang Sun up and down. He didn't see the same embarrassment Oscar had shown before, but he also didn't seem to have the same natural ease.

Just like running, Ouyang Sun felt tired every second, but the training also made him stronger.

A wisp of malevolent energy appeared in the spirit ring, but it was immediately absorbed by Ouyang Sun and merged with his soul power and physical body.

Flander noticed this and, for some reason, began to worry whether the century-old soul ring could satisfy Ouyang Sun's appetite.

Fortunately, the absorption was very smooth. Ouyang Sun's aura was growing stronger little by little. No matter how unwilling the hundred-year-old soul ring was, it could only be consumed little by little.

Seeing that Ouyang Sun had encountered almost no setbacks, Flander nodded in relief.

"Next, we'll see how things go."
