Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 66 Thanks

"We admit defeat, we admit defeat."

The young man with the ice staff said, "I have no choice but to admit defeat. Those familiar ripples are clearly the result of my opponent's counterattack using my Ice Wheel. If I don't admit defeat, the next attack I'll get will be my Ice Fury."

He wasn't someone who couldn't grasp the situation; it was obvious that the other party was holding back, otherwise, if they had directly teleported the attack over, he definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

Even though his soul power had reached level thirty-five, making him one of the top performers among his peers, it was impossible for him to immediately use another soul skill after just unleashing a massively energy-consuming thousand-year soul skill. He had neither the time nor the buffer to release his soul skills.

All of his attacks could be used by the opponent, and the opponent could also use methods similar to mind control. It was clear that he was no match for the opponent.

More importantly, the opponent wasn't alone; his teammates were also watching him intently. As an elemental control mage,

He was desperate too. He couldn't very well expect him and his sister to fight hand-to-hand with ice sticks!

The spatial ripples did not disappear; Nan Fusheng simply watched the other person quietly.

The young man with the ice staff gave a wry smile, just as he was about to press the distress signal button for himself and his sister.

Suddenly, a fireball shot straight towards him and his sister. Startled, he quickly tackled his sister to the ground. The fireball passed over their heads and blasted a small crater in the ground not far away.

"We've already admitted defeat, what more do you want?"

The man with the ice staff roared angrily. In his opinion, the fireball was either launched by the opposing team or done by their teammate. However, he didn't expect the opposing teammate to look serious and retreat to their side.

At the same time, a series of rumbling sounds came from the surroundings, as if some giant beast was running. The ground trembled, and the roars of beasts could be faintly heard.

"Soul beasts are coming." Nan Fusheng, who had just retreated back to his teammates, heard Zhang Yangzi, who was in charge of reconnaissance, say urgently. "A large group, they are social soul beasts. There are at least thirty of them, they look like Flame Lions."

Upon hearing his words, everyone was horrified.

Lions are undoubtedly among the most powerful of the social spirit beasts on land. Generally speaking, the stronger a spirit beast is individually, the more willing it is to be independent, because this allows it to obtain more resources. Lions are an exception.

A pride centered around a male lion and consisting of a group of lionesses is the absolute ruler of forests and grasslands. Even spirit beasts that are much stronger than the male lions are unwilling to provoke them easily.

Because their overall combat strength is simply too great.

"Xiao Yan!" Just then, the man with the ice staff shouted his sister's name. It turned out that a fiery lion had secretly circled around behind the girl at some point.

At this moment, it was opening its blood-red maw to bite down on the girl's head. The ice staff man could see it clearly because of the angle, but it was no use. The Flame Lion was already close at hand, and it was too late to release his soul skill.

The man with the ice staff used his body to shield his sister, preparing to take the damage for her. At the same time, he slapped his wrist towards the distress signal device on his sister's hand.

"Brother!" The girl was pale, but she couldn't help but call out after seeing her brother's actions.

"I'm so useless. Ever since I entered the Spirit Ascension Platform, it's always been my brother protecting me. Now I can only watch him get hurt because of me and can't do anything about it. I can't do anything!" This was what the young girl, Xu Xiaoyan, was thinking at this moment.

Just then, an ice spear about two meters long pierced through the body of the Flame Lion, causing it to let out a mournful cry. It then turned into a wisp of spiritual energy and was absorbed by the boy not far away.

Because they were close by, the brother and sister absorbed a lot of spiritual energy. They looked over and saw that Nan Fusheng had used the ice spear he had just transferred to deliver a fatal blow to the Flame Demon Lion.

"Um, thank you." After hesitating for a moment, the man with the ice staff still thanked Nan Fusheng, after all, being bitten to death was not a pleasant experience.

"No need. You're all planning to quit anyway. It's better to just press the button yourself than to be sent out." Nan Fusheng waved his hand.

"Um, my name is Xu Xiaoyu, and I'm a second-year student in Class 1 of the senior department at Donghai Academy. This is my younger sister, Xu Xiaoyan. Thank you for your help this time. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to Donghai Academy to find me."

Although she was taken aback by Nan Fusheng's words, the ice staff-wielding man—no, it should be said that Xu Xiaoyu—still sincerely thanked Nan Fusheng and even told him that she could ask him for help if she ever had any trouble in the future.

This not only expresses gratitude to Nan Fusheng for his help, but also serves as a way to befriend him, since Nan Fusheng looks similar to his sister but is already a second-ring Soul Master.

It's a rare space-based system, so befriending such a genius is never a bad thing.

Then, without waiting for Nan Fusheng's reply, she pressed the distress signal button for herself and her sister. Before leaving, the girl named Xu Xiaoyan stared at Nan Fusheng curiously and mouthed the words: Thank you.

"Run!" After seeing the brother and sister being teleported away, Nan Fusheng accepted their spiritual power and then shouted almost without hesitation, turning around and running away.

Gu Yue waved her hands, and a blue light enveloped them. Unlike before, when it only affected their feet, this time the wind element made them feel light and airy, and their speed increased significantly.

Xie Xie took the lead, scouting ahead, while Zhang Yangzi continued to control his spirit, Little Black Eagle, to scout the rear.

Little Black Hawk had gradually recovered during his meditation after defeating the Man-Faced Spider. He currently lacks the ability to assist him in combat, but his shared vision function remains. It will take at least several days for him to fully recover.

Not far behind them, a roar rang out, and clusters of red lights rushed towards them at high speed.

Spiritual energy isn't just something human souls can absorb; these soul beasts can absorb it too. What attracted Nan Fusheng and his companions to the soul beasts was precisely the dense fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from their bodies. As one of the strongest group-type soul beasts, the Flame Demon Lions could sense these fluctuations of spiritual energy with ease. They gave chase at breakneck speed.

Run, run for as long as you can. Every second that passes, more spiritual energy will be absorbed from everyone's body.

They have no chance against the Flame Lion Pack. Unless all six of them advance to the third ring, they might have no chance of fighting back.

The Flame Lion Pack is undoubtedly the most overpowered force in this beginner-level Spirit Ascension Platform. While the individual Human-Faced Demon Spiders are strong, they dare not confront this pack of wild lions head-on and can only dodge.

The male lions of the Flame Lion Pack are thousand-year-old soul beasts, and the remaining female lions are all soul beasts with a cultivation of over a hundred years, some of whom are even a thousand years old.

This is because they have very few natural predators in this forest. Human Soul Masters, whether individually or in groups, have virtually no chance against them if they are below the fourth ring.
