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

Chapter 67 Covering the Rear

Therefore, upon hearing their names, Nan Fusheng ordered an immediate retreat. Now, it's a race against time.

However, the roar of the Flame Lion also has its advantages, namely its intimidating effect on other soul beasts. Hearing their presence terrifies not only soul masters but also other soul beasts!

All lion-type spirit beasts, regardless of their type, have one thing in common: they are carnivorous. They don't just eat humans; other spirit beasts also serve as their nourishment.

Therefore, Nan Fusheng and his group kept running wildly, and they didn't encounter any obstacles ahead. When soul beasts appeared, they would immediately hide far away upon hearing the roar of the Flame Demon Lion or sensing its aura.

However, the Flame Lion was, after all, a creature that lived in the great forest. Its speed far surpassed that of the others.

In this situation, any form of cooperation is meaningless.

The slowest was none other than Wang Jinxi. Left with no other choice, he took advantage of the Flame Lion's inability to fully catch up and activated his distress signal.

With a flash of light, Wang Jinxi disappeared, and the spiritual energy on his body that had not been absorbed floated forward and attached itself to the other five people.

Then there's Gu Yue. Although Gu Yue can imbue herself with wind elements, her elemental control means that her physical abilities ultimately cannot compare to agility-based Soul Masters or non-humans like Tang Wulin who possess innate strength.

She was the second to press her own rescue signal. However, whether she did it intentionally or not, the spiritual energy emanating from her body all flowed onto Tang Wulin, without dispersing much.

"Damn it, they're still discriminating after we leave! They didn't give us any spiritual energy at all, only giving it to Tang Wulin!"

Unlike Tang Wulin and the other two who were running with their heads down, Nan Fusheng still had the energy to think about Gu Yue's favoritism. He was probably the most composed of them. When he was about to be caught, he directly used his second soul skill: Gate.

It teleported from the back to the front in an instant, then ran, and then repeated the operation just before being caught.

He did this to conserve his soul power; otherwise, he would have vanished long ago with his abilities. However, he couldn't do that, since Wu Changkong valued teamwork, bonds, and the like most.

If he really abandons Tang Wulin and the others and runs away, no matter how good his grades are later, Wu Changkong will not give him a good look, and may even give him a zero.

At the same time, sharing joys and sorrows can also help improve the friendship with teammates. However, does what I'm doing count as sharing joys and sorrows? Nan Fusheng thought to himself as he looked at the three of them who were running and covered in sweat.

Fortunately, before leaving the Ascension Platform, Gu Yue unleashed the strongest soul power fusion she could manage, creating a powerful ice storm that swept around the area and affected the Flame Lion pack, allowing Nan Fusheng and the other three to temporarily create some distance between them.

However, as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. Suddenly, several cries came from the sky, followed by a large, dense shadow covering Nan Fusheng and his companions. Flying soul beasts, and a large group of them at that!

They are bluebirds, and there are at least several hundred of them!

"Captain, I have a bold idea," Zhang Yangzi suddenly said while running. "I'll try to lure those soul beasts down from the sky. Maybe that will cause some trouble for the Flame Lion."

"Don't go, it's too dangerous," Tang Wulin said without hesitation.

Luring down the soul beasts from the sky is no easy task; if things go wrong, Zhang Yangzi will be the first to die.

Zhang Yangzi chuckled, "This is the Ascension Platform, there's no real danger here. At worst, we'll get killed and tremble for a few days. We've already gotten our money's worth this time."

"I haven't contributed much to the team, so let me give it a try." Without waiting for Tang Wulin's reply, he flashed forward, his wings flapping violently as he unleashed his second soul skill, Eagle Soaring Through the Sky. Using the burst of soul power, he propelled himself directly into the air.

"Hey, you bastards, your grandpa's here! Come and hit me if you dare!" Zhang Yangzi shouted.

Although the bluebirds couldn't understand human language, they could see the intense spiritual power emanating from Zhang Yangzi. The flock of birds immediately sprang into action and pounced on Zhang Yangzi.

"Silly bird, come and chase me!" As he spoke, Zhang Yangzi identified the direction of the approaching red light flashing in the forest below, and suddenly pounced down. When he was close to the group of fire lion demons, he activated his distress signal.

mission completed!

With a flash of light, Zhang Yangzi vanished into thin air, and more than ten enormous flying soul beasts instantly plunged into the forest.

The spiritual energy on Zhang Yangzi dissipated and was absorbed by these flying soul beasts.

"I'll scold you a few times and give you back so much soul power. You've actually made a profit, provided you can survive the Flame Lion." This was Zhang Yangzi's last thought before leaving the Spirit Ascension Platform.

The roars and the sounds of branches snapping behind them continued, and the pressure vanished. They knew Zhang Yangzi had succeeded.

"Well done!" Xie Xie couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Giving up more spiritual energy for yourself to create more opportunities for your teammates—that's what teamwork is all about.

"However, I suspect that guy's mental strength won't be able to support him absorbing more spiritual energy, haha!" Xie Xie laughed and accelerated again.

Suddenly, Nan Fusheng, who was standing next to Xie Xie, kicked him, sending him flying.

"Ouch, what are you doing..." Xie Xie stopped before he could finish speaking, because he saw that Nan Fusheng's foot that had kicked him away had disappeared, or more accurately, it had been severed.

"Fusheng!" Xie Xie shouted when he saw his companion was seriously injured. Just then, he suddenly saw a dark golden light flash and disappear. Fear filled his heart in an instant, and Xie Xie subconsciously dodged to the side.

"..." Xie Xie couldn't help but gasp. His left hand was gone, severed by that dark golden light. If Fu Sheng hadn't kicked him, he would have been sliced ​​into pieces.

"Roar..." With a roar, a huge figure appeared in the three people's sight.

It was a giant bear with dark golden fur all over its body, more than three meters tall, with particularly thick arms and broad, majestic shoulders like a city wall.

At the ends of the two thick arms are incomparably sharp, dark golden claws, each claw being over a meter long.

"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear." Xie Xie said the name of the soul beast with a grim expression.

"Quickly press the distress signal button." At this moment, Nan Fusheng, whose leg had been severed, said to the two of them.

Upon hearing Nan Fusheng's words, Xie Xie pressed the distress signal button without hesitation, but Tang Wulin seemed somewhat hesitant.

"Wu Lin, you go first. I'll hold him off for a while. Stop dawdling. My soul skill is perfect for this kind of situation. I'll activate the distress signal when I sense something's wrong. Absorb as much spiritual energy as you can now."

Nan Fusheng saw right through Tang Wulin's thoughts and spoke directly to him, leaving Tang Wulin no chance to refute.
