108 Chapter 108 Damn it, can’t you? (2 in 1)
"We have come all the way here, so let's go and take a look." Dugu Bo nodded slightly, "Since there's a lion-type spirit beast with an age close to 20,000 years here, there might be other power-type spirit beasts of 10,000 years old around. Man'er, like you said before, it's not like we're in a hurry."
"That's also true." Lin Manshan smiled in return, pulling Dugu Yan along with him as he jumped down the steep slope and landed on the tree canopy.
Jumping between the branches, he scurried towards the direction where the spirit beast was.
Not long after, about fifty metres away, the three of them stopped in their tracks.
"A golden lion with a ghostly face, or is it black? It looks quite fierce, what kind of spirit beast is this?" Looking at the lion-type spirit beast sleeping on the ground in front of him, Dugu Bo stumbled upon a knowledge blind spot and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Manshan. The other party had an incredulous expression on his face, after seeing his expression carefully, he couldn't help but suppress his voice and ask, "Is this ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast very powerful?"
"A Beast King level existence, its battle power is almost equal to a hundred thousand-year-old spirit beast." Lin Manshan also suppressed his voice.
"Equivalent to a hundred thousand-year-old spirit beast!!!?"
Dugu Bo was instantly shocked.
"That's right, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff, the legendary predecessor of all canine and lion-type spirit beasts, incredibly powerful, and has a Domination Domain. Once it activates its Domain, its attack and defence will dramatically increase, it will lose the sense of pain, and the power of all its accompanying abilities will be increased by more than 50%. Fervent for battle, relentless, with a fighting style that borders on insanity, it is also a universal hostile existence among spirit beasts."
"However, this spirit beast is recorded to be extinct, I didn't expect to see one here."
Its legend tells us that you can't be too arrogant whether you're a human or a beast, or you'll die fast.
Lin Manshan introduced it while lamenting deeply.
"So ferocious!?" Dugu Bo was shocked, then fell into thought, "Such a powerful domain skill, there must be a time limit after unleashing it, right? Maybe its body will fall into a weakened state after it's over. This should be its weakness, otherwise, this race would have long dominated the Spirit Beast community, and how could it be dragged into extinction? Moreover, most of the power-type spirit beasts' means of attack are on the side of melee combat."
"So, as long as I keep my distance far enough and run fast enough, it shouldn't be able to attack me."
"Whereas my ranged spirit skills will be able to injure it. After all, with a cultivation of less than 20,000 years, the strength of the physical body under normal circumstances shouldn't be too high no matter what."
Saying that, his eyes narrowed slightly, he straightened his back and turned his head to look at Lin Manshan, who had a somewhat agitated look on his face.
"Man'er, have you decided on it? How about choosing this Golden Fur Lion Mastiff for the fourth spirit ring?"
"It's just a natural choice!" Lin Manshan nodded without hesitation, "Grandpa, although this Golden Fur Lion Mastiff is less than 20,000 years old, with the characteristics of their race, in terms of strength attributes, it definitely exceeds the majority of 50,000-year-old power-type spirit beasts, not to mention its strong attacking power. Grandpa, if I can absorb its spirit ring, perhaps the cultivation increase won't be much, but the battle power increase will definitely be huge."
"Good then, it will be the one." Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with an intense aura as he continued, "Man'er, to avoid accidents, you go ahead and bring Yan'er back to the entrance of the passageway to hide."
"Okay!" Lin Manshan nodded, exchanged a glance with Dugu Yan, and hurriedly turned around to return the same way.
Not long after, Dugu Bo perceived that the two had moved far away. "Jade Phosphorus True Body!" Opening his Martial Soul True Body on the spot, his majestic aura instantly erupted with silky dragon might.
"Ow." The Golden Fur Lion Mastiff that was sleeping instantly awakened, and reflexively roared to the sky.
Its entire body's golden fur stood up, a golden and black halo abruptly appeared under its feet and slowly floated upwards, and a few wisps of ghost-like breath could be vaguely seen seeping into the body.
And just at this time.
"Eighth spirit skill, Time Freeze!"
With a low cry from Dugu Bo, the entire heaven and earth around him seemed to have come to a standstill, the branches and leaves no longer swayed, the sound of the wind suddenly subsided, and the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff's posture of raising its head to the sky and roaring was instantly solidified and immovable.
Even the black light and ghostly shadows surging underneath the beast's body also paused, as if time stood still at this moment.
The next moment, "Ninth Spirit Skill, Jade Phosphor Divine Light!"
An intense turquoise light suddenly erupted from Dugu Bo's body, instantly colouring his body as clear as a turquoise humanoid gem. In an instant, a beam of turquoise light suddenly condensed and shot out from his chest, corroding and dissolving all the trees it touched on its way. It finally landed on the tilted head of the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff, which was more than four metres tall.
In the moment of contact, light rippled, turquoise colour foul gas immediately rose from the golden fur.
The hair that originally had a metallic lustre suddenly blackened and dissolved, being corroded and falling off.
The turquoise poison drilled violently towards the eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth in the process.
"Success!"
Dugu Bo's eyes instantly lit up, 'This ninth spirit skill of mine, Jade Phosphor Divine Light, carries a violent poison that a Titled Douluo or below would almost certain to die when struck, this spirit beast's cultivation level is less than 20,000 years old, so it's absolutely incapable of resisting it.'
'However, this fellow is quite big, so it should be able to hold out for a little longer, so I'll have to wait for it to be poisoned in the next few moments.'
'Also, it is necessary to be careful of its dying counter-attack.' With that thought, he hastily dispersed his spirit skill and turned his head to run.
His eighth spirit skill and ninth spirit skill consume spirit power enormously, even if he had already become a Titled Douluo he couldn't release them for a long time, and to retain his strength to run, he had to withdraw them early.
Just at the moment when Dugu Bo turned to leave, the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff is also finally regained its movement, and the gas-like ghosts and shadows around it also smoothly integrated into its body, and its already huge and robust body shape changed all of a sudden, expanding rapidly, and doubled in size as it hung its head and threw its head around.
Immediately, "Roar!"
A deafening roar suddenly flared out, and along with the roar, a black shadow that was identical to its head, but obviously much larger in size, spread out at the same time.
"Rumble..." The terrifying sound wave was like an explosion that instantly turned everything within a hundred metres of the surrounding area into debris.
'Crap, it's actually a sonic attack! So violent! Luckily, I was cautious enough to run fast just now' Dugu Bo, who looked back during the running process, only felt that the surrounding space was vibrating with the high frequency of this roar, and his body was brought up directly by the aftermath of the air wave and flew backwards.
'Is this the effect of the Domination Domain? The body has directly doubled in size, just like a small mountain. It's obvious that it's been poisoned, but its mobility hasn't been affected in the slightest, is it the effect of ignoring pain brought about by the domain skill? This spirit beast is worthy of being born for battle.'
Dugu Bo glanced at its location and the corners of his mouth rose, 'However, the signs of poisoning can't be faked, the poison has already entered its body. In its current state, although it can temporarily ignore the effects of the poison on its body, once the skill effect fades, it will be the time when the poison erupts.'
In between his thoughts, 'Holy crap, it's rushing over!' Without hesitation, Dugu Bo hurriedly performed the Blinking Steps to run away.
"Roar!" But the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff was as if it had locked onto him, let out a roar to the sky, and directly charged.
"Boom Boom Boom" Every footstep rhythm was like a boulder hitting the ground, and the entire valley trembled. The huge body like a golden hurricane, running like thunder, the surrounding dense towering trees as if they did not exist, was crushed into pieces on the spot just from contact.
"Damn, it's really ferocious!" Lin Manshan, who was hiding in the passageway, was directly dumbfounded.
"Ah Man, will Grandpa be okay?" Beside him, Dugu Yan was inwardly shocked while looking worried.
"Don't worry, no matter what, Grandpa is a Titled Douluo, and he has consumed Immortal Herb, which has greatly enhanced the strength of his physical body, and has practised Blinking Steps, so his speed isn't low. While this Golden Fur Lion Mastiff cultivation is less than 20,000 years after all, so its physical body base strength is lot worser." Lin Manshan shook his head, "Domain skill can indeed make its body attributes skyrocket in all aspects, but even more powerful skill, without a good foundation to support it, the effect it can bring out is also limited, and it will also bring a huge burden to the body. After this Golden Fur Lion Mastiff activated its Domain Skill, its size ballooned to such an extent that running at full speed is definitely a huge burden on the physical body."
"I'm afraid the sequel will not be trivial either."
No wonder the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff would become extinct, having an awesome skill that could multiply its strength, and having no pain after using it, it would definitely feel like it could win in a fight. But in reality, it is just a five-second beast that turns into a weak chicken in seconds after the domain skill ends, and then it will become food for other spirit beasts that are nearby. In summary, it is a Reckless Stupid Beast. Lin Manshan inwardly lamented, while at the same time secretly sighing at his own good luck.
Not to mention that he encountered the extinct ten-thousand-year-old Golden Fur Lion Mastiff, he also happened to have a Dugu Bo by his side. There was no doubt that Dugu Bo, who possessed a wide range of AOE long-range skills and fast, was simply the natural enemy of the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff.
When the reckless person met the veteran sneak attacker, it was obvious that the veteran sneak attacker would be much more superior.
"Yan, let's go. Let's tail along, if I want to absorb this Golden Fur Lion Mastiff's spirit ring, I still have to be present to give it a final blow." Saying that Lin Manshan crouched down slightly, "Come, I'll carry you, so that we can run faster."
He didn't think it was a safe thing to leave Dugu Yan alone in the passageway. Since he knew the Vanishing Art, it wouldn't be hard for him to run at a distance and still get there in time.
"Okay!" Dugu Yan didn't hesitate, and her body was instantly pressed onto his back.
Getting up and walking out of the passage, Lin Manshan hurriedly sped up and sprinted towards the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff a thousand metres away in hot pursuit.
"Roar roar roar" Along the way, the surrounding spirit beasts constantly fled towards the sides, the flock of birds scattering in all directions.
'They are all hundred years, thousand years old spirit beasts, ten thousand years spirit beasts are very few' Lin Manshan perceived the surrounding spirit beasts that were constantly fleeing, and thought to himself, 'It seems that this Golden Fur Lion Mastiff should have entered this valley at a very young age, and then took this place as its territory to reign supreme until now.' Shaking his head slightly, for a moment he didn't know whether to say that this Golden Fur Lion Mastiff was lucky or unfortunate.
Fortunately, the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff had survived until now in this isolated valley with no natural enemies.
Unfortunately, it met them.
The survival of the fittest, the eternal law. While lamenting, his speed accelerated once again, looking to the front, the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff's huge size had started to shrink continuously, its speed was decreasing, and its soul's aura was rapidly declining, so he picked up his pace and moved faster and faster.
'Is the effect of the domain decaying, which caused the suppression of the toxins in its body to become weaker as well?'
Feeling that the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff's soul fluctuations were rapidly becoming weaker, Lin Manshan once again increased his speed, 'We must hurry over as soon as possible, once the domain skill effect completely declines, with the severity of Dugu Bo's natal poison, the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff in a weakened state will probably die a violent death straight away.'
Not long after, within his sight, the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff's body had already reverted back to its initial size, and its footsteps also stopped.
Shaking its head, it looked as if it would soon be unable to support itself.
"Man'er, quick! It's going to die," Dugu Bo, who had long noticed Lin Manshan's presence nearby, hurriedly shouted.
"Yan, you stay here for a moment." Placing Dugu Yan down, Lin Manshan quickly summoned his martial soul.
Spirit power surged and was frantically injected towards the blade's body, 'Vanishing Art!' His body flashed continuously, quickly arriving in front of the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff. 'The golden fur on the back of the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff was too thick, so my attack might not be able to break through its defence quickly.' If he couldn't cause effective damage in a short period of time, then the one who killed the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff wouldn't be him, but Dugu Bo's poison. Therefore, he could only go to the front to attack the weak parts.
'Seven orifices bleeding! Worthy of being Dugu Bo's martial soul natal poison.'
Seeing the front figure of the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff, Lin Manshan could not help but be shocked, at this time, the black ghost face of the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff had already faded away, revealing a chubby, extremely rotten and miserable golden round face corroded by the poison. The only thing that can still be clearly seen is the two black spots above the eyelids. Eyes, ears, mouth and nose, all of them were oozing greenish poisonous blood, looking extremely creepy.
Without hesitation, "Ominous Moon Light Slash!"
Raising his sword, he directly made a horizontal slash.
The highly compressed, five-metre-long sword light was directly slashed at its face.
The next moment, "Ominous Moon Light!" The much tinier, but seemingly endless blade light followed closely behind.
By this time, the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff was completely unconscious. It didn't make any move to block the attack. The sword light that came one after another struck directly in its face. "Puff Puff" due to being corroded by the poison its defence was greatly reduced. Bloodstains suddenly appeared on his face.
"Ow." Its body finally collapsed helplessly, letting out a faint groan.
'Vanishing Art!' The eight spider spears flared out, directly coming close to its body, six spider legs stabbed the ground, steadily supporting his body to stay in mid-air, avoiding coming into contact with the poison. The other two spider legs resembling spears stabbed straight into the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff's eye sockets, churning fiercely.
The Golden Fur Lion Mastiff trembled, and immediately lost its breath.
The next moment, a black spirit ring slowly floated out.
"Grandpa, please protect me."
After turning his head towards Dugu Bo and shouting, Lin Manshan directly controlled the Eight Spider Spear to move to the waist of the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff, and then retracted the Eight Spider Spear and sat on the hard yet smooth golden fur, adjusted his position, and slowly closed his eyes as Dugu Bo shouted in response.
The spirit ring slowly floated lower as the Meridian Skill circulated.
On the other side, Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo also met up and slowly approached.
"It is undeniable that this spirit beast is truly formidable." Thinking back to the previous chase, Dugu Bo also felt palpitations in his heart, if he hadn't consumed the Immortal Herb to enhance his physique, and had cultivated the Blinking Steps, he felt that he would definitely be caught up, and might even get killed.
The previous him was really not good at close combat, and had a brittle skin.
Judging from the unrivalled physical strength that the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff had shown while running before, it was true that he could be seriously injured on the spot by a single slap. If he were to receive the previous sound wave attack closely, he would definitely be stunned on the spot.
Then his head would be slapped like a rotten watermelon.
Scary, truly scary. Looking up and down at the corpse not far away, his body subconsciously trembled.
Then his body shook, his gaze moved down incredulously, and he couldn't help but murmur out loud under his breath.
"Holy cow, it can't be!"
