Hey, you little bastard!

Perhaps because they had each gone through a battle, Gu Lie and Na'er did not encounter any groups of spirit beasts on their journey.

The entire primeval forest fell silent, with only the sound of the wind, the deliberately simulated chirping of insects, and the slight noises made by the two people walking.

Occasionally, spirit beasts would jump down from the bushes or trees nearby, and seeing that Gu Lie and Na'er were just two children, they would instinctively attack them.

Without exception, they all perished under Na'er's spear light, transforming into warm spiritual energy.

It's not that the Ancient Hunters are slow to react; it's simply because, at this stage, Na'er's attack range is greater, or rather, her reach is longer.

The Ancient Hunter currently lacks ranged attack capabilities; its only ranged attack is the water sprayed by the Soul Spirit Golden Koi.

Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear not only has an advantage in length, but after fusing with the Thorn Dragon Soul, it can further extend its attack range through simple spatial power.

Moreover, as Leng Yaozhu's personal disciples, they were not so desperate that they needed to carefully manage the spiritual power of several ten-year-old soul beasts when absorbing it.

Suddenly, Gu Lie was the first to notice the unusual tremors coming from the ground. He immediately stopped, raised his hand to shield Na'er behind him, and stared intently in a certain direction.

Although tonnage and strength are not directly correlated for both Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, a Soul Beast capable of creating tremors that reverberate over a certain range on the ground must be quite powerful.

"Na'er, go hide in the tree first. When the battle starts, I'll hold them off from the front. When they show an opening, it'll be your turn to unleash your full power!"

"Quickly enter the Martial Soul Possession state," Gu Lie whispered to Na'er.

"Yeah, brother, you have to be careful too!"

Without hesitation, Na'er nodded to Gu Lie and quickly rushed into the bushes of a nearby tree.

Instead of standing there foolishly, Gu Lie hid in the bushes near another large tree.

Because he could better utilize the power of the earth in battle, Gu Lie did not choose to climb the tree, but he also did not transform into the 300 Spartans to try to block the noisy soul beast head-on.

Off-screen, Leng Yaozhu was even more satisfied with the two's performance.

That soul beast was indeed specially prepared by Leng Yaozhu. Judging by its strength on paper alone, Gu Lie and Na'er combined were no match for it.

However, if we take into account the hidden strength of the two, the outcome is still uncertain.

"That grandson of Qian Gu Zhang Ting has already started to set his sights on them..."

"Although I can protect them for a while, ultimately they still have to deal with it on their own."

"However, he's just a mentally challenged idiot. Even if he's ten years older, I'm sure they can still find a way to deal with him..."

Thinking of the recent news about the Qian Gu family, Leng Yaozhu's face darkened again.

Qian Gu Dongfeng could barely be considered to have the bearing of a hero, but Qian Gu Zhangting was an incurable fool.

Like the spoiled brats in those third-rate novels, his favorite thing to do was to suppress the disciples and descendants of other high-ranking members of the Spirit Pagoda and force them to pledge allegiance to him.

She couldn't directly intervene in the younger generation's disputes, but she could still raise the children she favored to be even more outstanding and give that fool endless surprises.

"A 500-year-old unicorn dragon, I hope you can give me more surprises..."

Leng Yaozhu was still looking at the screen, but her slender hands had already quietly placed on the emergency escape button for the two of them.

Inside the Ascension Platform, as the sound drew closer and several large trees fell, Gu Lie and Na'er finally saw the true face of the soul beast.

It was a large soul beast that was three meters tall and six meters long, covered with sturdy iron-gray scales, and had a single, ferocious-looking horn on its forehead.

Its forelimbs appear very thin, but the two hind limbs that support its body, even through the scales, reveal extremely strong and powerful muscles.

Perhaps the bodybuilding world's saying about "nine dragons pulling a coffin" isn't just a coincidence of transliteration, but rather because...

Only dragons possessing the marks of emperors could possibly have such terrifying muscles.

"It's a unicorn dragon! And it's definitely not one that's only a hundred years old."

"Although Na'er is hiding in a tree, with the strength of a unicorn dragon, breaking a tree is not a problem at all."

"Now that it hasn't revealed any weaknesses, I can't gamble on whether the Silver Dragon Spear's anti-dragon attack is as domineering as the First Prince's Golden Dragon Claw."

"Since that's the case..."

Upon seeing the appearance of the unicorn dragon, the ancient hunter's mind raced, and he quickly made his judgment.

As his first spirit ring emitted a steady and gentle light, the surface of Gu Lie's body was quickly covered with a layer of golden light.

Then he closed his mouth, as if he was preparing something.

The next moment, the voice of Gu Lie suddenly appeared in the forest that was beginning to become noisy.

"Hey, you little bastard!"

The unicorn dragon paused slightly, then immediately turned and ran towards the direction of the ancient hunter who had made the sound. Without the slightest hesitation, it crashed directly into the large tree behind which the ancient hunter was hiding.

The tree fell with a thud, but the ancient hunter was no longer there.

The unicorn dragon had no intention of stopping. Its fighting style was very simple: charge, charge, and keep charging.

But now, when it tried to continue its charge, it unexpectedly discovered that its once strong and powerful legs were trapped in quicksand.

The harder it struggled, the deeper its legs sank.

In just ten seconds, half of its lower leg was submerged.

"Quicksand Hell, successfully activated, but it's about to break down and won't be able to hold this unicorn dragon any longer..."

The ancient hunter, who had already taken cover to the side, was checking the effect of the skill he had just used while gathering power in his mouth.

In Pokémon moves, Sand Hell can trap the opponent for 4-5 turns, preventing them from escaping or switching, and causing continuous damage.

However, even though the Ancient Hunter had made preparations in advance, the control effect could not reach the ideal limit when facing the powerful Unicorn Dragon.

But that's enough.

The ancient hunter leaped up from the grass and opened his mouth towards the still struggling unicorn dragon.

A powerful purple aura shot out from his mouth, striking the unicorn dragon's head precisely like a ray.

The unicorn closed its eyes in pain, wanting to let out a mournful cry, but a strong sense of paralysis followed the ancient hunter's breath and spread throughout its body almost instantly, making its movements even slower.

"Na'er, now's the time!"

Seeing that his skill Dragon Breath had successfully taken effect, Ancient Hunter immediately shouted loudly.

A silver light descended from the sky, piercing the unicorn's throat, which was exposed in pain, almost instantly.
