Chapter 58 Hu Liena's Third Soul Ring: Red-Tailed Silver Fox, External Soul Bone!
At this moment, Hu Liena, who was standing next to Dugu Bo, hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
Dugu Bo squinted and said, "I saved you out of respect for Spirit Hall. Don't think I'm easy to talk to!"
Want him to save Old Yue? Dream on!
Before she could speak, Hu Liena was caught in a dilemma, but she still thanked him, saying, "Thank you so much for saving my life, senior. I... I am already extremely grateful! How could I have any other thoughts?"
"There is no best option. Even if you want me to go and save people, I will not take the risk!"
"Yes, I understand."
Hu Liena felt bitter. She glanced at the three purple soul rings and two black soul rings that had condensed on the skeletons of several wolves behind her, which had been corroded by the poison. She sighed and looked back at the path she had come from, hoping to see one or two people escape.
"Sigh~"
Hu Liena sighed and followed Dugu Bo toward the direction where Dugu Lin was.
Upon arriving at the hillside, they discovered the Jade Phosphor Serpent beside Dugu Lin, as well as a dead Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King!
"The Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King! Over 30,000 years old?"
Hu Liena exclaimed in surprise.
Dugu Bo frowned slightly, thinking to himself, 'Oh no! How could I have forgotten about the lifespan of soul rings?'
In the critical moment, Dugu Bo had been in a great mood because his grandson was out of danger! He then heard the name of Hu Liena, which his grandson had been longing for, and without thinking much, he rescued Hu Liena.
However, now that his grandson had absorbed a 35,000-year soul ring, it seemed it could no longer be kept secret!
Did they just save her, and now they're going to kill her?
'Spirit Hall... Bibi Dong...'
Dugu Bo frowned, considering the consequences of killing Hu Liena now and whether it would create hidden dangers for future cooperation.
After pondering for a long time, Dugu Bo thought to himself, "Forget it, since Lin'er likes her, let him be! The matter of the fourth ring, which took 35,000 years, can be kept secret for now! In a few more years, when Lin'er has grown up, what can't be revealed?"
Just as Dugu Bo was pondering, Hu Liena sensed a faint killing intent emanating from him and dared not even breathe.
Not long after.
With a wave of his hand, Dugu Bo stored the corpse of the Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King into his storage soul tool and said in a deep voice, "Swear by your martial soul that you will keep this secret to yourself! You cannot reveal it even to your teacher!"
"Huh? I...."
Hu Liena hesitated for a moment, but when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head! Hu Liena pointed three fingers to the sky and swore, "I, Hu Liena, swear on my martial soul that I will never tell a fourth person what I have seen today, or I will die with my martial soul shattered!"
"Well, sit down and rest. You've been quite frightened. Come with us and we'll leave the Frozen Forest."
"Thank you, senior."
Hu Liena breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, 'Given Dugu Bo's character, if he wanted to kill me, he would do it directly! He certainly wouldn't force me to swear an oath first, and then kill me after I swore it! So, I'm safe now!'
With this in mind, Hu Liena finally had the peace of mind to look at Dugu Lin.
The more Hu Liena looked, the more astonished she became. She thought to herself, "He looks only twelve or thirteen years old, not much different from me! He actually managed to absorb a soul ring from the Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King, which is over thirty thousand years old... The Spirit Hall library has countless books, but I've never heard of anyone at this age being able to absorb a thirty-thousand-year soul ring!"
'A genius! A monstrous genius! I'm far inferior to him!'
'Could he be Dugu Lin?!'
Having defined Dugu Lin's character and made guesses about his identity, Hu Liena's gaze was quickly drawn to the Jade Phosphor Serpent beside her.
However, after glancing at it twice, Hu Liena didn't pay much attention to it and didn't think about the martial soul at all.
After all, the martial soul of the Dugu Bo clan is the Jade Phosphor Serpent, so raising a Jade Phosphor Serpent soul beast... Hu Liena could totally understand! Just like herself, she wanted to raise a cute fox as a pet.
Sometimes, some things just can't withstand being talked about.
Just then, Hu Liena was thinking about raising a fox when she saw a red-tailed silver fox appear in the snow ahead.
"Red-tailed Silver Fox!"
Hu Liena exclaimed again.
Dugu Bo followed Hu Liena's gaze and asked, "Judging from your appearance, you're here to hunt for the third soul ring, right? This red-tailed silver fox is exactly 1700 years old! Do you want it?"
"I...."
Hu Liena realized that this Poison Douluo, who was feared throughout the Soul Master world, would actually offer to help her hunt for soul rings.
Somewhat unbelievable.
However, Hu Liena wanted to test whether her guess was correct, so she tentatively said, "It is indeed very suitable for a junior like me, I..."
"Whatever suits you is fine."
Before Hu Liena could finish speaking, Dugu Bo had already grabbed the red-tailed silver fox.
"It's yours."
"This... thank you, senior!" Hu Liena didn't hesitate. She thought that raising a fox was one thing, but absorbing a soul ring was another. Without any hesitation, she started killing!
A purple soul ring condensed on the corpse of the red-tailed silver fox, and Hu Liena sat cross-legged in meditation to absorb the soul ring.
Not long after.
A staggering Soul Douluo flew over from afar and landed in front of Dugu Bo. Despite his injuries, he cupped his hands and said, "Senior Dugu, thank you for your help! Our Spirit Hall is deeply grateful!"
Dugu Bo opened his eyes and glanced at him, then closed them again to rest.
Seeing this, the flying-type Soul Douluo smiled bitterly to himself, found a place not far away, sat down cross-legged, and stabilized his injuries.
As the sun began to set in the west, the temperature plummeted.
Only then did Dugu Lin finally awaken from his meditation.
The moment he opened his eyes, he heard Dugu Bo's anxious voice: "Lin'er, how are you? Are you injured internally?"
Dugu Lin shook his head, looked at Hu Liena who was absorbing the soul ring, and asked, "Isn't that Hu Liena? What's she doing here?"
Dugu Bo briefly recounted the events, and at the end, he lowered his voice and said, "Hu Liena saw the corpse of the Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King! Grandpa made her swear an oath with her martial soul... Do you think that's acceptable?"
"Whatever!"
Dugu Lin smiled and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, I've already reached level 50 in soul power! Once I get another soul ring, I'm confident I can defeat a Soul Douluo!"
A 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, an 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King sacrificial soul ring, plus a 35,000-year-old super-limited fourth soul ring, allowed Dugu Lin to increase his soul power by a full ten levels!
"Level 50 already? As expected!"
Dugu Bo was overjoyed and laughed, "Lin'er, you've grown up quite a bit! But if we, grandfather and grandson, continue to grow for a few more years, and Grandpa refines the second immortal herb and breaks through to level 97, then you'll have at least the strength of a Soul Saint. After that, you'll absorb the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit soul ring! Then, you can really unleash your full potential!"
"Um."
Dugu Lin nodded, pondering the things he had already planned. Suddenly, Dugu Lin frowned, his gaze drawn to the corpse of the red-tailed silver fox at Hu Liena's feet.
"Grandpa, do you remember the three external soul bones I told you about?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "You mean... Hu Liena's external soul bone? A fox tail? Her third soul ring was something Grandpa just grabbed casually. How could it be such a coincidence that he just happened to grab the soul ring that originally belonged to her?"
"So, sometimes fate is just that strange."
Dugu Bo nodded: "Lin'er, that's an external soul bone! Its value is comparable to a 100,000-year soul bone... Do we want it?"
