Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 30 Collective Soul Hunting (Part 1)

Furthermore, based on Ye Wen's understanding of the spirit beasts in the nearby forest, he felt that some of them were not worthy of his disciples. Therefore, Ye Wen planned to organize a large-scale spirit hunting event, leading the way to the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt spirit rings for his seven disciples.

A mere hundred- or thousand-year-old soul beast is not something anyone can easily obtain.

Ah Yin wanted to join such a large group activity, but Ye Wen refused, citing the chaotic nature of the Star Dou Great Forest.

But there's one good thing about Ah Yin: she listens to advice and doesn't like to cause trouble for others.

If it were Xiao Wu, haha, she knows perfectly well what her identity is yet still runs around recklessly, and the sacrifice was entirely her own doing.

Even the deaths of Da Ming and Er Ming were inextricably linked to her. If it weren't for buying her time to escape, with the strength of these two sycophants, even if they couldn't defeat the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Team, they would have had no problem escaping back to the Lake of Life for protection.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Both brothers became Tang Buddha's spirit rings and spirit bones, contributing their strength to Tang Buddha's power-up and upgrade.

"Master, we've arrived in Bit City," said Huo Quan, who was driving the carriage.

Although Ye Wen also wanted to run to the Star Dou Great Forest by himself, considering that the five little radish heads were still too young, he chose to buy a carriage to carry the group there.

After all, he's practically a Soul King.

Bit City is the closest city to the Star Dou Great Forest in Notting, but traveling between the two places is still a bit troublesome, so Ye Wen plans to settle his disciples in this town first and then go hunt for his fifth soul ring.

By the way, let these children who have always lived in small villages see the vastness of the world.

"I'll leave the rest of the five of them to you siblings. With your quasi-Soul Venerable cultivation levels, as long as you don't cause trouble in Bit City, you should be fine going to those shady places. I'll be back in half a month."

With that, Ye Wen vanished in a flash.

The seven people in the carriage exchanged glances and then silently entered the bustling city of Bit. Under Ye Wen's tutelage, they had come to understand the dangers of the world, so being cautious in their words and actions became their guiding principle.

Meanwhile, Ye Wen had already entered the Star Dou Great Forest, and his target this time was some soul beasts that were very common in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Soul beasts that are either ant-like or bee-like.

These types of spirit beasts are not particularly strong individually, but they possess a unique racial talent: the ability to build nests.

The reason Ye Wen wanted to hunt this kind of soul beast was that he thought that with the spatial attribute mutation of the Nabu Martial Soul, it might be possible to create a defensive barrier that could block enemy attacks.

This feature can even be used to achieve flight.

After a long period of physical training, Ye Wen felt that his body could withstand spirit rings from spirit beasts up to 30,000 years old. However, considering the soul impact of a 10,000-year spirit ring, Ye Wen decided to proceed with caution.

Although these two types of soul beasts are widely distributed, once they exceed a thousand years, they will be hunted down due to the fear of queen bees and queen ants. Therefore, it is quite difficult to find a soul beast of this type that is over ten thousand years old, let alone one that is over twenty thousand years old or close to thirty thousand years old.

Ye Wen searched around for a week but still couldn't find him.

In the end, Ye Wen decided to enter the mixed zone to search. Anyway, with the Soul Skill of "Imagination", he could generally not be detected unless he was a king of a clan with more than 5 years of history.

To be honest, the Star Dou Great Forest in Douluo Continent I is really low-key, and the ferocious beasts hidden in the Lake of Life are also really good at hiding.

Finally, perseverance paid off. After searching for five more days in the mixed zone, Ye Wen finally found a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast of the ant type.

With a body length of nearly one meter, covered in black armor, two large eyes and four small eyes, isn't this the King of Ants?

It seems that the deeds of those three mighty ant kings influenced some of the lower-level soul beasts. This caused some rebellious individuals in the ant race, who originally acted as a unified group, to break away from the clan; otherwise, they wouldn't have grown to such a size.

A slight smile appeared on Ye Wen's lips.

Although it cannot compare to the three brothers of the Thousand-Pound Ant King that Tang Buddha hunted, the Thousand-Pound Ant King in front of us should also have a cultivation of nearly 3 years.

"You're the one."

Thinking this, Ye Wen raised his hand and fired an arrow.

Ding--!

The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed through the desolate forest, causing Ye Wenben's initially confident gaze to sharpen, and his expression to turn serious.

The once invincible arrows lay fallen on the grass, their iron arrowheads twisted and deformed. The Thousand-Pound Ant King, however, only had a small dent on its head and was otherwise unharmed.

"As expected of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast of the insects, its exoskeleton is comparable to refined iron. No wonder my arrow couldn't penetrate it."

The Thousand-Pound Ant King, caught off guard by the sudden attack, shook its head, which was still dizzy from the impact, and then looked around. Although it could not be called the tyrant of this mixed zone, few soul beasts were willing to provoke it due to its hard shell and savage bite force.

Although the ants in their previous lives were blind, the soul beasts of this world are not. The six eyes endow the Thousand-Pound Ant King with extraordinary vision, which can be described as 360 degrees.

Looking in the direction from which the arrow came, it saw only empty trees and no one in sight, which puzzled it.

Where did that thing come from? It hit me and it hurts so much.

However, an ant's brain capacity is ultimately limited. After a brief moment of confusion and finding no further attack, it freely continued to wander around.

At this moment, Ye Wen stared at the Thousand-Pound Ant King for a while.

"I never imagined that the first time I'm going to use this self-created soul skill is to deal with someone like you. Even though there's no audience, I'll still show you the power of gravity, one of the four great forces of the universe."

Ye Wen summoned two Nabu cards, which overlapped each other and then unfolded.

He pulled out ten sharp swords and released them at one of the Nabu cards, causing it to fall into the card.

The power of nature appeared, and swords shot out from Nabu above.

Ye Wen did not interfere much, but the sword's speed increased until it seemed to transform into a silver light curtain.

This self-created soul skill is both difficult and simple. It simply uses the characteristics of the Naboo portal to create a spatial channel, and leverages the world's gravity and the mass of the sword to generate powerful inertia.

Its name—The Creation of Gravity!

Without any restrictions, the sword's speed had already reached supersonic speeds.

"Farewell~" Ye Wen said slowly, then changed the direction of the Nabu portal.

"Buzz—"

A sharp, piercing sound cut through the air as a sword, like a meteor, struck the bewildered and wandering Ant King.
