Dai Weisi gently inserted the Fragrant Silk Immortal into the ground. A refreshing and captivating fragrance immediately spread in all directions. The clean, refreshing scent calmed the mind, allowing one to forget both joy and sorrow.
"Senior Dugu, could you please set up a simple poison formation within a one-kilometer radius? The formation should be strong enough to block thousand-year soul beasts. As for ten-thousand-year soul beasts, let them approach freely," Dai Weisi requested.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo looked confused and asked, "That's doable, but little friend, what exactly are you planning to do? Why are you placing this immortal herb in the ground?"
"Of course, I'm using it to attract soul beasts. This is the Fragrant Silk Immortal, and it has two remarkable uses. First, as long as one holds it, even if submerged in poison, they remain immune to it. Second, the fragrance it emits is irresistibly attractive to soul beasts, which can help draw them in. It would be too time-consuming to search for them one by one."
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He laughed, "That's a great idea! Little friend, wait here for a moment; I'll be right back."
In the blink of an eye, Dugu Bo dashed off, summoning his martial spirit, the Phosphorus Snake Emperor. His form transformed into a massive dark green snake as he spat deadly venom at a large rock.
Sizzle...
The venom was highly corrosive and immediately ate away at the iron-like stone. Once the venom dispersed into the air, it evaporated, creating a poisonous mist that completely enveloped the one-kilometer radius.
Now, all they had to do was wait patiently for the soul beasts to arrive.
"Let me guess, which soul beast is unlucky enough to show up?" Dai Weisi muttered, thinking that if it were the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he would be pleased.
Howl!
Roar!
Hiss!
Not long after, numerous soul beasts gathered outside the poison formation. Among them were familiar beasts such as the Ghost Wolf, Howling Sky Tiger, Mandala Snake, and Earth King. In addition, there were many soul beasts that Dai Weisi had never heard of.
Unfortunately, these were all thousand-year soul beasts, blocked by the poison formation and too afraid to enter. The only ten-thousand-year soul beast present was a ten-thousand-year Human-faced Demon Spider, possibly the same one killed by Tang San years later, which became the fifth soul ring for the Haotian Hammer.
The Human-faced Demon Spider approached the poison formation, spotted Dai Weisi and the Fragrant Silk Immortal, and immediately showed a greedy look in its eight eyes. It seemed ready to attack.
However, upon sensing the terrifying pressure from Dai Weisi's White Tiger Domain, the Human-faced Demon Spider immediately fled in fear.
Dai Weisi was too lazy to even hunt such weak soul beasts.
An hour passed slowly. During this time, many soul beasts gathered around the poison formation, but ten-thousand-year soul beasts were rare. Either their cultivation was too low, or their attributes were unsuitable, so Dai Weisi didn't even bother to look at them.
He yawned and frowned, "This won't do. If I keep waiting like this, how long will it take to find a ten-thousand-year gold attribute soul beast? It seems I need to spice things up."
Dai Weisi walked over to the Fragrant Silk Immortal and took out his external soul bone. He sliced his arm and let his blood drip onto the Fragrant Silk Immortal.
Having previously consumed the Heavenly Mushroom and Earth Dragon Golden Melon, his blood contained the essence of these two gold attribute herbs, which were highly favored by gold attribute soul beasts.
Dropping his blood onto the Fragrant Silk Immortal, Dai Weisi's blood would be irresistible to gold attribute soul beasts, like honey to bees. If any gold attribute soul beasts were nearby, they would not be able to resist.
Sure enough, after waiting another hour, a massive creature charged into the poison formation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening sound of its footsteps, like a heartbeat, sent shockwaves through the ground, shaking both Dai Weisi and Dugu Bo, as well as the surrounding soul beasts. The very earth trembled as the giant creature drew closer, signaling that it was no easy opponent.
When the beast came into view, Dai Weisi could finally see its true form. It was a Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear, with a golden-yellow body and claws so sharp they seemed capable of tearing through the heavens and earth. Its appearance was unmistakable.
This Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear stood over ten meters tall, far larger than the one Dai Weisi had hunted before. This one was a terrifying beast with over 30,000 years of cultivation.
Although it was a ten-thousand-year soul beast, with its immense strength and incredible defense, the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear could even stand up to hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
Dai Weisi gazed at the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear, a slight smile tugging at his lips. He could sense the rich gold attribute soul power within the beast. Although it wasn't on par with his own ultimate gold attribute, it was still formidable.
If I absorb its soul ring, I'll definitely gain a powerful soul skill. If I'm lucky, I might even acquire an external soul bone!
As he thought about this, Dai Weisi glanced at his right hand. His right palm bone was already an external soul bone from the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear. If he could collect a matching pair, his combat strength would increase to a terrifying level.
With his mind made up, Dai Weisi smiled and said, "Senior Dugu, this is the one. Could you please help me subdue it?"
Though Dai Weisi could kill the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear on his own, having a Title Douluo-level ally nearby was an opportunity not to be missed.
"Little friend, are you sure about this? This soul beast's cultivation exceeds 30,000 years, and I feel its strength far surpasses that of an ordinary 30,000-year soul beast. Absorbing its soul ring... the risk is extremely high!"
"Hehe, the bigger the risk, the greater the reward! Risks and rewards always go hand in hand. Senior, don't worry; I've got this under control. If the situation becomes untenable, I'll retreat immediately."
"Alas, very well. I hope you succeed," Dugu Bo sighed helplessly, and his dazzling seventh soul ring suddenly flashed.
Roar!
Dugu Bo didn't hesitate and immediately activated his martial soul true body. Against an apex soul beast like the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear, even Dugu Bo dared not be careless.
Dai Weisi quickly stowed the Fragrant Silk Immortal away. It would be of great use in the future, and he couldn't afford to lose it.
Roar!
The Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear growled angrily. It was very intelligent and understood that in order to obtain the Fragrant Silk Immortal, it first had to kill the giant snake in front of it. It also sensed that Dai Weisi's blood would benefit it greatly. If it could consume his flesh and blood, it might even increase its cultivation.
To kill Dai Weisi, however, it first had to eliminate Dugu Bo. With that thought, the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear charged straight at Dugu Bo.
Its massive body caused the ground to tremble with every step. The earth beneath it instantly sank, leaving behind huge paw prints.
The Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear wasn't slow. It immediately swung its powerful paws toward Dugu Bo.
The bear's claws slashed through the air, and the immense force generated a fierce gust of wind that shot toward Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo dared not take the blow head-on. Using the Phosphorus Snake Emperor, he quickly evaded the attack. The powerful gust of wind narrowly missed him and slammed into the trees behind him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The trees couldn't withstand the force of the wind and were immediately shattered, sending dust flying into the air.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo's heart filled with dread. He couldn't help but mutter, "What terrifying strength!"
