Hunting a 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast
🕑 Added 2025-04-18 19:31:45 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 67 ---
ROOOOARRR!!!
A furious roar echoed in the Burning Mountain Range.
"Hehe, come and get me, you little beast~!" Dugu Bo laughed as he flew out of the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin's nest, having it chase him out like a mad bull because he had drugged the beast and its mate with poison.
"Damn you, human! I will kill you!"
A giant pangolin chased after Dugu Bo. The spirit beast was 'naturally' encased in crimson dragon scales, which appeared flaring with extremely boiling spirit energy and flowing lava, which ignited the surrounding peaks as it moved. At the end of its limb are sharp, glowing golden claws that slice through thick rocky mountains like hot knives through butter.
The pangolin's eyes are sharp with golden circles and green slits that are always on Dugu Bo's back. If a gaze could kill, the 100,000-year-old spirit beast wishes it could kill Dugu Bo.
When the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin mates with the Seven-Knot Ichthyosaur, a Title Douluo suddenly appears in their nest and attacks them with his disgusting yet effective poison.
The Seven-Knot Ichthyosaur was 'quickly' knocked out cold, angering the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin.
Although the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin felt a growing weakness in its body, it still chased Dugu Bo with the extreme intention of killing him.
Don't underestimate spirit beasts with powerful bloodlines.
Even if the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin wasn't a pure dragon, the blood within is still legit and could negate many things like poison.
The spirit beast fired a red beam at Dugu Bo, "DIE!"
Dugu Bo glanced at the incoming red beam and smirked, dodging to the left and changing direction. "Hahaha, what a blind pangolin, you can't even hit properly!"
ROAR!
Being taunted by Dugu Bo, the 100,000-year-old spirit beast becomes even angrier.
...
Meanwhile, Han Yuan and others heard the furious roar. They also felt the ground vibrating like no tomorrow as Dugu Bo led the 100,000-year-old spirit beast to their locations.
"Uncle Xin, get ready." Han Yuan stared at Dugu Xin solemnly.
Dugu Xin took a deep breath, "I'm ready."
Everyone looked at the small mountain nearby and watched it explode as the giant pangolin charged through to chase Dugu Bo, not caring about the damage it had done to the mountain range.
BOOM!
Countless rock fragments flew everywhere, creating a massive cloud of dust.
Dugu Bo spotted Han Yuan and others. He skillfully hides his presence by wrapping his body with spirit energy before moving to their locations. He gave Han Yuan a thumbs-up before flying past them.
Dugu Xin hurriedly rushed forward and possessed the 'Jade Phosphorus Snake' martial soul to the limit, even transforming some of his features into that of a snake.
His stench immediately caught the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin's sharp nose. "Come here, human! I will kill and eat you whole!"
Swoosh!
The pangolin sweeps its sharp, golden claw fiercely.
Dugu Xin saw this and dodged with his slippery Flash Steps, running to the designed traps Han Yuan and Liu Erlong prepared. He led the spirit beast away as Han Yuan and others followed.
They arrived at the first peak, and Dugu Bo was ready to blast the sharp peak down.
"Come on, Xin'er..." Dugu Bo mumbled, grasping the fragile rocks that could trigger a massive landdrop. And it's not ordinary land drop as vicious liquid poison has been smeared all over the peak.
Liu Erlong also made sure the peak had some super-heated molten rocks, which would trigger an explosion and turn the poison into a more lethal gas poison. Of course, it was only precaution as their target already majored in the fire element.
ROAR!
Dugu Bo finally caught his son, Dugu Xin, appearing not far away.
He smiled, "Good job, Xin'er."
After saying that, Dugu Bo struck the fragile rocks and watched the peak slowly descend to the ground.
Dugu Xin and others also noticed this and timed the fall perfectly with the spirit beast's arrival.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
The mountain peak fell on the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin, dealing blunt damage to the spirit beast. "Do you think a mere rock could injure me?!"
"Then, you're done for!"
The pangolin didn't realize that viscous poison stuck to its body tightly. As the 100,000-year-old spirit beast becomes angrier, its body heat becomes hotter, turning the poison into steam.
Crack! Crack! Sizzle~!
Liu Erlong joined Dugu Xin and said, "Let's go. The poison won't affect it immediately."
Dugu Xin nodded, and they rushed to the second mountain peak.
"Another ant?" The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin was confused, but then it snorted. "Hmph, no matter how many ants you add, I will still kill you!"
Then, the giant pangolin continued its chase. Its heavy footsteps boomed throughout the Burning Mountain Range, which caused some small-scale earthquakes.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
At the second peak, Han Yuan, Ye Xuelan, and Dugu Bo waited patiently and were not bothered by the high humidity.
Han Yuan glanced at Dugu Bo, "How many doses did you get into the nest before the pangolin noticed?"
"Eleven." Dugu Bo grinned at him.
"E-Eleven?" Han Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Damn, no wonder the target is mad."
Ye Xuelan tilted her head in confusion, "I know you guys used poison to lure and weaken the 100,000-year-old spirit beast, but what's with these doses?"
"Does the amount change the effect?"
Han Yuan nodded solemnly, "The name poison I concocted and handed to Senior Dugu is Heavenly Restriction Dew, which not only weakened the target's body and five senses but also spirit energy and mental quality."
"One drop is one dose."
"The Heavenly Restriction Dew is so strong that even Senior Dugu was 'instantly' suppressed by one drop alone. He's a Title Douluo, don't forget that!"
"This..." Ye Xuelan was shocked. "And the spirit beast got ten doses?"
Dugu Bo laughed, "As the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin gets more impacted by the poison, its physical and mental quality will drop to 80,000 or 70,000-year-old levels."
"I had to admit... Young Master's poison is scary."
"He deserves the number one spot of the best poison master."
Han Yuan sighed, "It takes time for Heavenly Restriction Dews to become effective. We smeared poisons all over the mountain range because the movement and other toxic elements will allow the Heavenly Restriction Dew to work faster."
"Also, they are here."
Liu Erlong and Dugu Xin finally reached the second mountain peak after getting the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin more of its stamina, further weakening it.
At the moment, the 100,000-year-old looks less fierce but no less angry than before.
ROAR!
"What have you done to my body? HATEFUl! HATEFUl HUMANS!" The giant pangolin roared to the sky.
Liu Erlong and Dugu Xin ignored the spirit beast's rambling, dodging the incoming mountain peak.
BOOM!
The smeared peak fell on top of the spirit beast, causing it to cry in anger and pain.
Liu Erlong, Dugu Xin, Dugu Bo, Ye Xuelan, and Han Yuan stood on the cliff and looked down, watching the broken mountain peak become dust due to the extreme heat the spirit beast emitted.
"This pangolin is still strong after all those poisons?" Ye Xuelan mumbled in disbelief.
"That's Dragon's Blood for you." Han Yuan chuckled. "Anything with dragon's blood in this world is blessed in one way or another."
Liu Erlong wiped her sweat and asked, "Should we continue to the third peak?"
"Hey, look. What did that mad beast do?" Dugu Xin pointed his finger down.
Everyone hurriedly looked down and felt the angry pangolin's body emitting unbelievable heat.
"This is blood ignition!" Liu Erlong felt her dragon's bloodline reacting to the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin's last effort action.
Blood Ignition is not rare in the Douluo Continent because many people have used it to burn their potential in exchange for short but explosive bursts of power.
However, the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin is a 100,000-year-old spirit beast with pure Dragon Blood, which means the degree of strength boost it gets might exceed their expectation.
Han Yuan also used his Eyes of Truth, "It seemed we have pushed it to the limit."
"Everyone, change plans."
"We will lead the beast into the last trap immediately."
"Senior Dugu, this part depends on you..." Han Yuan gave Dugu Bo a trustful look.
Dugu Bo patted his chest, "Leave it to me, Young Master!"
