Chapter 131: Precious Jade Mirage.
"Uncle Bing, Uncle Huo, what kind of soul beast is this?"
While confronting this gem-like soul beast, Xuan Mo separated his attention and asked the Ice and Fire Dragon King.
After all, facing an unknown soul beast, if one's strength is equal and one's weaknesses are unknown, then being entangled by it in such an unknown place is not a good thing.
"This soul beast is called the Precious Jade Mirage, and it specializes in illusion. In Douluo Continent, it was already on the verge of extinction around our time. I didn't expect to encounter it here. Boy, you're in luck this time," the Ice Dragon King said with a hint of teasing.
"Huh?"
Xuan Mo was stunned for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Uncle Bing, I'm about to fight this Gem Jade Mirage now. If I make any big noise later, it will attract other soul masters or soul beasts. How can I say I'm lucky?"
"That also depends on whether your gains and losses are equal this time."
"Well, Uncle Bing, what do you mean?"
Just when Xuan Mo was at a loss, the voice of the Fire Dragon King rang out, "Mo boy, don't listen to Old Bing's suspense. I tell you, you must get this Gem Jade Mirage, otherwise you will regret it."
After hearing the words of the Fire Dragon King, Xuan Mo had no doubts, but still couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle Huo, what's so special about this Gem Jade Mirage?"
"The Gem Jade Mirage is a very peculiar soul beast from ancient times. It takes a whole population of one species over a hundred years to give birth to one. And more importantly, every Gem Jade Mirage brings its own soul bone with it after death."
"What?! It's got its own soul bone!"
Xuan Mo's pupils shrank, clearly shocked by the Fire Dragon King. You know, aside from hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, no other soul beast is guaranteed to possess a soul bone upon death.
"Indeed, and judging by the age of this Precious Jade Mirage, it's already reached nine thousand years of cultivation."
"That means this Precious Jade Mirage has nurtured a nine-thousand-year soul bone." A glint flashed in Xuan Mo's eyes.
You know, this isn't like what's described in novels. A nine-thousand-year soul bone is infinitely closer to a ten-thousand-year soul bone, making it a truly exceptional and rare treasure.
Furthermore, if absorbed by the right person, this soul bone could surpass the value of a typical ten-thousand-year soul bone.
With this in mind, Xuan Mo glanced at Ning Rongrong again. It was obvious that she was the perfect match for this soul bone.
But, "Alas! What a pity, the age is still too low..."
Xuan Mo's eyes flashed with disappointment. After all, as his future wife, he naturally wanted to give her a better soul bone, something like Shi Nian's head soul bone, which would be perfectly suitable.
Even so, Xuan Mo had no intention of letting the Jade Mirage go. After all, no one would ever want too many soul bones.
However, with nine thousand years of cultivation, it was indeed a bit of a stretch. The Ice Dragon King seemed to have read Xuan Mo's mind, and chuckled softly within his consciousness. "Mo, you're probably worried about this soul beast's cultivation."
"Exactly. After all, it has nine thousand years of cultivation."
Xuan Mo didn't hide anything; there was no need to hide it.
"Don't worry about that, young man. Do you know why soul beasts like the Jade Mirage became extinct?"
Xuan Mo didn't respond. Instead, he watched the soul beast, awaiting the Ice Dragon King's response.
"The Jade Mirage's reproduction and the required soul bones are two of the factors, but the most important factor is its strength. Don't underestimate its powerful attack. In reality, it can only use that kind of attack a few times a day. Its strongest weapon is illusion. If you break its illusion, then..."
The Ice Dragon King stopped talking, knowing that Xuan Mo understood his point.
"Illusion?"
Xuan Mo's lips curled slightly. Illusions, such as these, were practically useless against his peers. After all, as a human with two previous lives, his mental strength far surpassed that of any soul master of his rank.
Furthermore, within his sea of consciousness, the remnants of the two great dragon kings, Ice and Fire, protected him.
Just as Xuan Mo was about to strike, the Fire Dragon King's voice rang out, "Young Mo, soul beasts like the Precious Jade Mirage thrive by devouring other gem-type soul beasts. If I'm not mistaken, the soul bone it produces should..."
"Swish..."
Before the Fire Dragon King could finish his words, Xuan Mo clenched his fists and charged forward, his mind aroused by the Fire Dragon King's speculation. "Rongrong, assist!"
As Xuan Mo finished his words, streams of multicolored light descended, amplifying his aura.
"Roar!"
Seeing Xuan Mo dare to initiate the attack, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the two precious orbs that formed the Precious Jade Mirage.
The massive body slowly sank, its jewel-like fist, brimming with surging power, plummeted down like a meteor, smashing down fiercely at Xuan Mo.
Xuan Mo showed no fear. After all, he knew the Jade Mirage's strength was far superior to his own.
Furthermore, to attract the attention of other spirit beasts and spirit masters, he had Ning Rongrong amplify it to her full power, hoping for a quick victory. A flash of black light flashed from Xuan Mo's fourth spirit ring, and then a massive purple-black beam of light slammed directly into the Jade Mirage's fist.
A crackling sound and a wailing sound accompanied the light beam's dissipation, revealing a fistless Jade Mirage before Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong. "Don't be careless, brat! Aside from its core, the Jade Mirage's entire body is composed of gemstones. Its methods are unlike those of ordinary spirit beasts."
Just as Xuan Mo thought the Jade Mirage's combat power would be significantly reduced, the Fire Dragon King's voice rang out again.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo saw the Precious Jade Mirage before him actually crack a gem from its body, then close it back together at its original fist, regaining its fighting power.
"Damn it! Why are all the soul masters and soul beasts who have fought me these past few days so strange?"
Xuan Mo couldn't help but burst out in surprise.
However, he didn't hesitate in his movements. This time, he chose a head-on collision of fists. He immediately activated his first and second amplification soul skills, leaped up, raised his hand, and smashed a fist into the Precious Jade Mirage's head. Although a crack appeared on the top of the head, but...
"Hiss... What a hard head."
Xuan Mo couldn't help but shake his fist after falling to the ground. If it weren't for his strong physique, his hand would have been red and swollen long ago.
At the same time, in Xuan Mo's sea of consciousness.
"Old Bing, do you think this kid is stupid? He clearly has a soul skill that can restrain that soul beast, but he actually chooses to fight it head-on. Those high-strength gems are not something he can easily shatter."
Facing the Fire Dragon King's somewhat irritable temper, the Ice Dragon King just smiled faintly, "This is also due to his lack of experience and lack of understanding of this type of soul beast. It's normal."
"Then why don't you let me remind him."
Just when the Fire Dragon King felt that this was very slow and expressed his dissatisfaction, the Ice Dragon King just replied with one sentence, "He is the one we chose and needs to grow up."
At this moment.
Xuan Mo looked at the Precious Jade Mirage and couldn't help but feel a headache. Although he was confident that he could kill it, in the current situation, it was too time-consuming.
However, just when Xuan Mo wanted to continue attacking the Precious Jade Mirage, Ning Rongrong, who was standing behind him, suddenly called him.
