Chapter 318 The Miserable Chrysanthemum!_1

```

In the blink of an eye, six hours had passed.

"Old Flayer, almost six hours have gone by, and you haven't even produced a single bubble; how am I supposed to explain this!"

Du Gubo's entire demeanor was one of utter defeat.

If he died in the magma, it wouldn't be easy to explain upon his return either.

And now there was nothing at all!

This had left him completely worn out!

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

At this moment, huge bubbles started appearing in the magma.

"What's happening?"

When Du Gubo saw the massive bubbles in the scalding magma, he hurriedly looked down.

Could it be Old Flayer's corpse floating up?

Or was it just a bunch of sediment?

"Whoosh—"

Suddenly, a head popped out.

"Flayer??"

When Du Gubo caught sight of Ye Feng, he immediately became extremely agitated.

"What, Old Poison, did you miss me?"

At this time, Ye Feng revealed a unique smile and looked in Du Gubo's direction.

He hadn't expected Old Poison's reaction to be so intense; it confirmed to him that he had chosen a good comrade in arms.

Otherwise, the reaction would not have been the same.

"Who missed you? You took forever; I almost thought you weren't coming back. I was even considering how to make Qingfeng Tower entirely mine!"

At this time, Du Gubo managed to compose himself and spoke directly to Ye Feng.

Of course, his demeanor was no longer that of frantic hysteria from earlier.

More like the feeling that this damned Flayer should have died earlier, and if he were to die, to do it quickly.

"Old Poison, I'm not so easy to kill. And about Qingfeng Tower, if you really want it, I'll just give it to you."

Ye Feng said, shrugging his shoulders.

In truth, if Du Gubo wanted to take over the burden, he would not hesitate.

After all, he believed that when it was time to mobilize, Du Gubo would definitely do so on his behalf.

So he wasn't worried about what might follow.

"Pfft, I don't want your mess. Once my time is up, I am retiring. I don't want to stay in Qingfeng Tower even for a minute," Du Gubo grumbled.

These were his true thoughts.

"Haha, Old Poison, I reckon I won't let you retire in this lifetime. Let's hurry up and go check on Chrysanthemum Uncle's situation."

Ye Feng started to speak.

"Speaking of which, Old Flayer, I haven't even asked about your situation yet, and I haven't seen any soul rings float up either. Could there be a hidden world beneath us?"

Under normal circumstances, after a hundred-thousand-year soul beast was killed, its soul ring would emerge.

But now, there was no sign of a soul ring.

This made Du Gubo quite surprised.

Could there really be a hidden world below?

Well, that could definitely be a possibility.

Otherwise, how could Old Flayer have come up unscathed?

He must have taken advantage of the moment the beast was repairing itself to escape.

Considering Ye Feng's speed, he believed it was highly likely.

"The soul ring was absorbed by me, so of course it wouldn't float up."

Ye Feng spoke to Du Gubo at that moment.

"The soul ring was absorbed by you? Don't joke around, Old Flayer, how could you possibly have absorbed the soul ring!!"

Upon hearing this, Du Gubo appeared completely incredulous.

Normally, absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring required some time, and only about three hours had just passed—how could anyone absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring in three hours?

That was simply an impossible task.

Moreover, even absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring could sometimes take an entire day.

Three hours—unless one was an exceptional super-genius, it definitely couldn't be done.

Although he had never absorbed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, Du Gubo thought that such a thing would at a minimum require three days and nights, given the incredible combat strength of the soul beast just now.

Normally, the difficulty of absorbing a soul ring correlates with the specific combat strength of the soul beast.

If a soul beast's combat strength is average, then absorbing its soul ring would be somewhat easier.

But if the soul beast's combat strength is strong, then the absorption time for the soul ring would be correspondingly longer.

"You don't believe me?"

Ye Feng looked at Du Gubo at this moment.

"How could I believe you, you're joking without any subtlety," Du Gubo shrugged.

Telling him that a hundred-thousand-year soul ring was absorbed in three hours, especially under magma, that's just messing with him!

He knew Ye Feng had endured the temperature of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring, but magma isn't like the spring.

Being surrounded by high temperatures while absorbing a soul ring creates interference with the body, requiring more time.

Normally one day is needed for absorption in three hours.

For a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, probably ten days to half a month.

So he thought Ye Feng was making a joke.

In reality, the other person was indeed joking.

How could such an anti-human event occur?

Right?

"Bloodthirsty Demon Scythe!"

Ye Feng summoned his Martial Soul.

Then, one by one, soul rings began to appear around him.

Purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!

"???"

Du Gubo stood frozen in place.

His aged eyes stared intently at the last, bright red soul ring.

"Red, red??"

Du Gubo blanked out.

Looking incredulously at Ye Feng.

"This is the soul ring of the Golden Patterned White Wolf Emperor that I just acquired."
