Douluo Continent: Xiao Xiao, I'm going to control you fiercely!

Three days later

Starry Sky Forest, Mixed Zone.

The dappled sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves of the towering trees, scattering across Xiao Xiao and her group.

"Xiao Xiao, do you have a target in mind for the spirit beast you need to hunt for your third spirit ring?"

To Xiao Xiao's right, the Beast King Bow Longlong kindly inquired about Xiao Xiao's inner thoughts.

As expected, after spending two days absorbing the soul bone, Xiao Xiao's physique improved to 44500, which was close to Xu Shu's estimate.

After that, Xiao Xiao was taken to the Star Dou Great Forest by Song Yunzhi and Gong Changlong, two elders of the Sea God Pavilion who came to her door, to hunt for soul rings.

It is now their first day in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"The ding is a national treasure, which has the effect of suppressing the fate of the nation."

"Most of the suitable spirit beasts for the cauldron are turtles, dragons, phoenixes, and other spirit beasts that are related to luck and have extremely strong physical qualities."

"My martial soul is the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron. Although it is not quite the same as the ordinary cauldron martial soul, it basically follows the principle of hunting soul beasts."

"Before setting off, I had already chosen the soul beast I needed. That is the origin of the invincible shield, the golden tortoiseshell clan in the Star Dou Great Forest, which represents auspiciousness and fortune."

"If you're unlucky, getting an invincible shield soul skill isn't a bad deal; if you're lucky, getting a soul skill that enhances your martial soul's power and suppresses the enemy's will is a huge win."

"Golden hawksbill turtle?"

Gong Changlong looked troubled.

"I have seen this kind of soul beast many times, and I am quite familiar with its location."

"However, each of these soul beasts is surrounded by numerous ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts."

Gong Changlong reached for the storage soul tool at his waist, examined it briefly, and then nodded solemnly.

"Fortunately, I brought extra veterinary medicine with me before this trip, just in case."

"As long as we find a Golden Tortoiseshell that isn't surrounded by too many Soul Beasts, and with a little planning, Xiao Xiao, your third ring won't be a problem."

Look, look, this is the normal Soul Hunting process.

Throughout the entire process, the instructors planned and provided support, unlike the original work where a bunch of martial spirit-type gods were left for the students to hunt down on their own, all under the guise of "training."

To be honest, if Huo Gua wasn't the protagonist, do you think normal second or third-year students could fight against ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts and thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaurs?

You know you can't beat them at all.

With the Beast King, who was familiar with soul beasts, leading the way, Xiao Xiao and her group quickly ventured into the border area between the mixed zone and the core zone.

On the banks of one of the rivers flowing from north to south, Xiao Xiao finally spotted a golden hawksbill turtle.

The golden hawksbill turtle is entirely a brilliant gold color, with a striking golden shell and a very thick keratin layer. The gold color of the shell is extremely even and deep, with each line of the shell being a dark gold color, without any flaws.

Its head differs significantly from that of ordinary turtles, featuring three ridges and an overall shape that is slightly triangular rather than oval. Several whisker-like ridges adorn its lower jaw. The entire head is a dark gold color, brightening towards the lower jaw.

When it lies prone in the river, it reflects the entire river, making it appear as if it were a golden river, which is quite magical.

Along the riverbank, dozens of ancient spirit beasts, some drinking water and others basking in the sun, create a harmonious and natural scene.

"It has two sharp spikes at the end, and judging from its age, it should be 20,000 years old, which is perfect for you."

Looking at the golden tortoiseshell in the distance, Gong Changlong made his own judgment and immediately took out the medicinal powder from his soul tool to prepare veterinary medicine.

Seeing this, Xu Shu quickly manipulated Xiao Xiao to stop him.

When Xiao Xiao was at level 30, he had her ask Mu En to let her hunt souls with the Beast King after she made her battle armor, not so that the Beast King's beast medicine could be used on these trash soul beasts.

It's important to know that in the first game, any soul beast that showed even a slight tendency to be captured would choose to self-destruct.

However, in Dou Er, large-scale captive breeding is possible.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying the Beast King Bow Longlong's secret drug for targeting soul beasts must be.

Xu Shu had read the system's description of the veterinary medicines sold by the Beast King.

It is colorless and odorless, and can cover an area of ​​five miles. It can easily bewitch soul beasts of ten thousand years level, allowing them to be successfully imprinted with the mental mark of a Douluo powerhouse.

Increasing the dosage as needed makes it easy to charm 8 or 9-year-old soul beasts.

Such a useful veterinary medicine should naturally be reserved for the 100,000-year-old golden hawksbill turtle that became Xu Sanshi's spirit in the original story to enjoy.

Having stopped the bow-dragon, Xu Shu opened the encyclopedia interface.

【Ding--】

[The Soul Beast Golden Tortoiseshell has been unlocked; the locations of all Soul Beasts have been marked.]

Xu Shu couldn't help but laugh out loud when he switched from the encyclopedia to the map.

The golden hawksbill turtle family is known for its longevity and good fortune; very few of them live to be less than 100,000 years old.

Therefore, while there aren't many golden hawksbill turtles with a history of 100,000 years on the map, there are also quite a few, and they mostly live in the core area.

However, in an east-west flowing river near the Douling Empire in the Star Dou Great Forest, a lone wolf, a 100,000-year-old golden hawksbill turtle, was quietly lying in it.

The red border, which had stood for 100,000 years, was as bright as a campfire in the dark.

Xu Shu guessed that this was the audacious 100,000-year-old golden hawksbill turtle, otherwise it wouldn't have separated from its kind.

Although its physical attributes, soul power, and mental strength have all degenerated to the level of 30,000 years ago.

However, its essence as a 100,000-year-old soul ring remains unchanged, and it cannot fool the system's encyclopedia.

It must be said that this hawksbill turtle is quite clever.

Not daring to stay in the core area, they even ran to the river, far away from Shrek Academy.

They even chose to lie prone in the upper-middle section of the mixed zone, making it easy to sneak into the core zone at any time in case of danger.

Ha ha.

Xu Shu sneered and closed the encyclopedia, then controlled Xiao Xiao to continue explaining to Gong Changlong.

"Grandpa Beast King, I suddenly received a divine test notification."

Xiao Xiao pointed to the eastern direction in the distance.

"There's a lone golden hawksbill turtle over there; I need it as my spirit ring."

"A divine test?"

Beside Xiao Xiao, Gong Changlong and Song Yunzhi looked at each other in bewilderment.

The third stage involves a divine test, which is never mentioned in Shrek's collection of books.

However, considering Xiao Xiao's monstrous nature, it seems somewhat understandable?

After some discussion, the two agreed to Xiao Xiao's request to go east and gestured for Xiao Xiao to lead the way.

Because it requires a detour that crosses almost the entire core area

It took Xiao Xiao and her group two days to reach the river where the 100,000-year-old golden hawksbill turtle was located, using a flying soul tool.

"It is about five meters in diameter, has no sharp spines on its tail, and its shell is dull."

"Judging from its aura, it should be an injured golden hawksbill turtle that is around 3 to 4 years old."

"Although the time limit has been exceeded, Xiao Xiao, you should have no problem absorbing it."

After confirming the age limit of the soul beast, Gong Changlong breathed a sigh of relief.

This divine test wasn't too difficult for Xiao Xiao.

After waiting for a short while,

Song Yunzhi, who had gone to scout the surroundings, quietly returned to the two of them.

"Although I don't know why, all the ancient soul beasts around are more than three kilometers away from the territory of this golden hawksbill turtle."

"Changlong, you can save a lot on veterinary medicine now."

"Xiao Xiao".

Song Yunzhi handed over a level seven soul-guided longsword.

"Later, Longlong will go upstream on the river to release the animal medicine. After that soul beast is drugged, you put on your battle armor and use this level seven soul guide longsword to give it a quick death."

"Remember, when you kill it, you must put the soul beast's corpse into the storage soul tool as soon as possible, and then activate the soul ring."

Song Yunzhi spoke with a serious expression, giving earnest instructions.
