War Between Soul Beasts

Chapter 15 War Between Soul Beasts

Dugu Bo was also stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said:

"I've heard people say that groups of beasts of similar strength and belonging to the same species can break out into a great war for various reasons. For example, the Demon Soul Great White Shark and the Demon Orca in the ocean have always maintained a hostile relationship over food and territory."

"The same applies to the swamp crocodiles and spiky crocodiles before us. The rainy season in the Star Dou Great Forest is almost over, and the water levels in the swamps and some rivers here are dropping rapidly. These two races are preparing to go to war for dominance over this area. I never expected to witness such a strange sight in this fortunate year. This journey has not been in vain..."

Shen Hanyu's lips twitched, then he asked somewhat inexplicably:

"What about the Purple-Gold Ice Beast? Could it have already moved away? Did we make a wasted trip?"

Dugu Bo glared at Shen Hanyu and said:

"Soul beasts have a much stronger sense of territory than humans, let alone a terrifying soul beast like the Purple-Gold Profound Ice Beast. How could it possibly give up its territory to a bunch of lower-level crocodile soul beasts? Maybe this guy is lurking somewhere underwater right now, preparing to launch a sneak attack."

Shen Hanyu was speechless and could only examine the two groups of beasts in front of him.

Swamp Crocodiles are a type of high-level soul beast. They are generally not as strong or large as the Spiny Earth Crocodiles, but they are numerous, almost three times the number of Spiny Earth Crocodiles. Among them, the Swamp Crocodile King has a cultivation of about 80,000 years and a size of more than 10 meters, making it a behemoth.

While the number of spiny crocodiles on the opposite side was smaller, their size was enormous. The two types of crocodiles of the same age, including the spiny crocodile, were more than twice the size of the swamp crocodile. Their backs and limbs were covered with sharp, blade-like protrusions, exuding a sense of oppression.

The King of the Back-Spined Crocodiles had been cultivating for nearly 80,000 years, but was slightly less powerful than the Swamp Giant Crocodile King. However, it overwhelmed the other in terms of aura.

Shen Hanyu narrowed his eyes, observing this rare scene.

With a roar from the two crocodile kings, the two groups clashed violently. The sounds of fighting and screams filled the air, and the clear river water was quickly stained crimson with blood, creating a scene of utter carnage.

Many corpses were carried downstream by the river, where they were dragged ashore or devoured on the spot by various ravenous spirit beasts. A feast of slaughter and satiation had begun...

………………

One hour later.

The swamp crocodile clan was later decimated, with only a fraction of its members remaining. Even the swamp crocodile king bore numerous deep, gruesome wounds, and was surrounded in the middle of the water with the surviving members, panting heavily.

In contrast, while the spiny crocodile clan also suffered casualties, they were not fundamentally damaged, though their massive bodies bore numerous wounds.

Looking at the spiky crocodiles, who were clearly prepared to be wiped out completely, Shen Hanyu couldn't help but secretly admire them. This was indeed a wise decision.

As the saying goes, if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.

After offending someone, it's best to eliminate their entire family, including the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, to avoid getting involved in some kind of major, unpredictable situation where fortunes change.

Just as the Spinach Crocodile King opened its massive jaws, ready to finish off the Swamp Crocodile King before it, a gigantic, strange soul beast suddenly burst from the water, standing directly on the surface.

The strange soul beast was not large, but its body was covered with purple-gold scales. Its eyes were also deep and sharp purple-gold. Purple mane grew under its head, and the scales were surrounded by ice spikes that exuded a chilling aura. It had three tails, all with long purple-gold fur, and at the end of each tail was a purple-gold crystal that shone brightly in the sunlight.

Dugu Bo extended a finger, pointing at the majestic spirit beast on the river, and said:

"This is the Purple-Gold Mystic Ice Beast. It's only been a few decades, but this beast has already completely broken through the 50,000-year mark and even has a cultivation level of 53,000 years. It must have devoured quite a few native soul beasts here. Kid, are you confident?"

Shen Hanyu looked at the graceful purple-gold ice beast, clenched his fist, and said:

"70% certainty"

Dugu Bo glanced at him and said:

"Not entirely confident? How about we find another target? Otherwise, if you die, I won't be collecting your corpse."

"I need to give you a piece of advice: without being absolutely certain, your actions are no different from suicide."

Shen Hanyu's lips twitched, and he inexplicably felt that the other person resembled an old acquaintance he had seen before.

"Give it a shot. I think if you, Senior Dugu, dare to take the risk, with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King's innate venom, even if you can't kill Chrysanthemum Douluo, you'll make him suffer for a while."

Dugu Bo was taken aback, then quickly regained his senses, his eyes somewhat cryptic, and said:

"That dead chrysanthemum has no bloodline inheritance, and it's unknown whether it even has that function. If it weren't for my granddaughter who needs my care, that dead chrysanthemum would have died countless times already..."

Shen Hanyu nodded, saying nothing more. Looking down at the Purple-Gold Xuanbing Beast, which had already crushed many ten-thousand-year-old spiny earth crocodiles and was now feasting, he said:

"Senior Dugu, please help me!"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, and then his figure quickly disappeared.

The Purple-Gold Ice Beast, which was feasting, sensed a terrifying aura suddenly appear nearby. Without hesitation, it put down the mutilated corpse in its hands and swiftly turned to the side.

The next moment, a huge green snake tail slammed into the water, creating a massive wave.

In the sky, Dugu Bo stood on the head of a Jade Phosphorous Serpent King that was over thirty meters long, with nine spirit rings spinning beneath his feet, radiating the overwhelming aura of a Title Douluo.

The Purple-Gold Ice Beast roared and rose from the sky, its terrifying claws striking towards Dugu Bo with terrifying force.

Dugu Bo's face was gloomy, and his eighth soul ring lit up. The next moment, the space in front of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King seemed to freeze instantly, and the Purple-Gold Profound Ice Beast was also unable to move. Only its eyes kept rotating, as if it was looking for a way to escape.

"Sixth Soul Skill! Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Strike!"

The next moment, with a low shout from Dugu Bo, his sixth spirit ring lit up rapidly, and a stream of green light pierced directly through the body of the Purple-Gold Profound Ice Beast. Dugu Bo casually tossed it aside, and it landed not far from Shen Hanyu.

"Kid, it's yours now."

Dugu Bo's voice drifted over, and Shen Hanyu thanked him before leaping down from the tree and ending the life of the super soul beast with a single shot.

The black spirit ring slowly rose, carrying the imposing aura of the Purple-Gold Mystic Ice Beast, giving the impression that it remained invincible even after death.

Shen Hanyu took a deep breath, sat down, and began to absorb the energy. The Frost Heaven Spear was placed beside him, emitting a faint blue light, its flickering glow like the first light of a firefly, small yet dazzling…

P.S.: I really don't want to write this anymore, it feels kind of boring, so I'll just finish it in one chapter and save as much detail as possible.
