Chapter 73 The Forestry Blue Silver Beast! Unfathomable! Crushed with a flick of the finger!
Eight-faced poisonous spider!
A rare and powerful venomous soul beast.
This eight-faced poisonous spider had reached an astonishing ten thousand years of cultivation, making it the perfect target that Dugu Yan had chosen for her fifth soul ring.
After a fierce battle, the soul beast was severely injured by her Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom, with a deep, bone-revealing wound on its abdomen from which dark green, foul-smelling blood was flowing.
Even so, the soul beast's survival instinct still allowed it to unleash astonishing speed, frantically fleeing through complex terrain.
"Trying to run?"
A confident smile appeared on Dugu Yan's lips.
She lightly touched the thick tree trunk with her toes, and her body accelerated again, like a green lightning bolt, relentlessly pursuing the eight-faced poisonous spider.
A man and a beast engage in a life-or-death chase through the forest.
The eight-sided venomous spider, in a panic, plunged headlong into a denser thicket of bushes.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan did not hesitate at all, lowered her body and rushed in as well.
All her attention was focused on that soul beast; she was determined to win!
However, just as she was passing through the bushes and about to catch up with the eight-faced venomous spider,
"Bang!"
A muffled thud.
Dugu Yan, who was chasing at full speed, felt as if she had crashed into a warm and solid "wall".
A gentle yet irresistible force surged through her, causing her to stumble backward several steps before she could barely regain her balance.
"who?!"
Dugu Yan was both surprised and angry, and suddenly looked up.
Not far ahead, a young man was standing.
The young man was dressed in a simple blue robe, with long, blue-gold hair reaching his waist cascading down his back. He had a handsome face and an otherworldly air about him.
He simply stood there quietly, as if he had become one with the entire forest, giving people a sense of calm and composure like a deep pool and a towering mountain.
His eyes were like a deep pool containing the entire starry sky, calm and profound.
Dugu Yan's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
What a handsome man!
But then she was filled with anxiety about her prey about to escape.
Taking advantage of this brief delay, the eight-faced venomous spider darted more than ten meters away again.
"Damn it! Get out of my way!"
Dugu Yan shouted and tried to bypass the young man to continue the pursuit.
However, the young man did not move, but merely glanced at the departing eight-faced poisonous spider.
He slowly raised his right hand and casually waved it in the direction the spider had fled.
"Whoosh!"
A slender blue-gold vine suddenly burst forth from the ground, like a living serpent, shooting out at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
The vines, though arriving late, arrived first, precisely wrapping around the eight segments of the eight-faced venomous spider, and tightened suddenly!
"squeak--!"
The eight-sided venomous spider, which had been running wildly, let out a shrill scream. Its massive body was instantly bound, and it crashed heavily to the ground, unable to move any further.
The whole process was smooth and effortless, described with a light touch.
Dugu Yan froze in place as she prepared to charge forward.
She stared wide-eyed at those beautiful, emerald-green snake eyes, her face filled with shock.
this...
What kind of strength is this?
The soul beast that he had fought so hard to severely injure was actually subdued by him in a single move?
Moreover, judging from his appearance, it seems that he did not use his martial soul at all, nor did he release his soul rings.
Who exactly is this person?
Dugu Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and her mind was shaken.
The scene before her was completely beyond her comprehension.
That's a ten-thousand-year-old eight-sided venomous spider!
Even if her grandfather, Dugu Bo, were here, it would be absolutely impossible for him to subdue her so easily!
Who exactly is this man?
In that brief moment when Dugu Yan lost her composure, the Eight-Sided Poison Spider, tightly bound by the blue-gold vines, flashed a look of madness born of despair in its eyes.
The instinct to survive overcame everything!
"Snap—!"
With a few crisp sounds, the eight-faced venomous spider brazenly severed three of its own limbs!
Dark green blood gushed out, and it let out an extremely painful scream. Its huge body suddenly shrank, and it forcibly broke free from the vines' restraints!
The moment it escaped, it didn't even dare to linger for a moment. Dragging its broken body, it used its remaining five legs to plunge into the depths of the dense forest without looking back, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"My spirit ring!"
Dugu Yan finally snapped out of her shock, watching helplessly as the fifth spirit ring she was about to obtain slipped away. Her pretty face turned red with anger, and her chest heaved violently.
She prepared for months to hunt down this soul beast, and it took a tremendous amount of effort to severely injure it.
Success was within reach, but it was all ruined because of this man who suddenly appeared in front of them!
Anger instantly clouded her judgment.
Dugu Yan suddenly turned around, her pair of emerald green snake eyes glaring intently at Lin Ye, and rebuked him:
"It's all your fault!"
"If you hadn't been meddling in my business, how could my soul beast have escaped!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly and looked calmly at the somewhat exasperated woman in front of him.
"It's because you're not strong enough that the soul beast escaped."
He spoke calmly, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.
"What does this have to do with me?"
These words were like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting all of Dugu Yan's anger.
She was a genius of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the granddaughter of a Title Douluo, and a Soul King at a young age. Wherever she went, she was the center of attention.
This guy in front of me, who looks to be about the same age as me, actually dares to talk to me in such a tone?
"you!"
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth in anger, and laughed in her fury.
"Good, very good!"
"My soul beast escaped today, and I'm putting this score on you!"
She gave a sharp shout and stopped talking nonsense.
"I don't care who you are, you have to give me an explanation today! Pay back my soul beast!"
Lin Ye looked at her unreasonable behavior and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Oh? How do you want me to compensate you?"
"It's simple!" Dugu Yan raised her chin and said arrogantly, "Either you go and catch me a soul beast right now that's just as old and of just as good quality as the one we just had! Or... you'll have to compensate me and become my underling!"
Before she finished speaking, her aura suddenly exploded!
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple!
Four spirit rings instantly rose from beneath her feet and spiraled upwards.
The surge of soul power swept outwards, causing fallen leaves to flutter all around.
"Martial Soul Possession!"
Dugu Yan's delicate body writhed, and dark green snake scales emerged from under her skin, covering her arms.
Her beautiful hair transformed into countless writhing snakes, and her pupils turned into vertical, emerald-green pupils, radiating a faint glow.
A gigantic, emerald-green serpent phantom coiled and coalesced behind her, its gaping maw spitting out a scarlet tongue.
Dugu Yan was clearly blinded by anger, completely forgetting the unfathomable strength that the person in front of her had just displayed.
She just wanted to teach the culprit who caused her to lose her spirit ring a lesson!
"Third Soul Skill, Azure Phosphorous Serpent Venom!"
The illusory image of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent behind her suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of dark green poisonous mist, which descended upon Lin Ye.
At the same time, she herself also took action.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Azure Phosphorescent Light!"
Two beams of green light shot out from her vertical pupils, heading straight for Lin Ye's eyes.
The forestry worker stood still, without moving.
Faced with the poisonous fog that could corrode everything, he simply waved his hand.
An invisible life energy rippled outwards, and the dark green poisonous mist instantly dissipated, transforming into the purest essence of plants and trees, which then merged into the surrounding forest.
The two beams of azure light that shot towards his eyes vanished silently, as if hitting an invisible barrier, when they were still three inches away from his face.
