"Come out, Luo Wupao!"
With a "poof," a wave of soul power surged from Lu Feng's body, and a pale yellow creature appeared in front of him.
It looked like a dog, but its body was more like that of a pig. It had pale yellow fur all over, two small floppy ears, and four short, stubby legs. It came hopping and bouncing towards Lu Feng.
"Luo, luo." Luo Wupao rubbed its large head against Lu Feng's leg.
Luo Wupao was what Lu Feng had created after synthesizing [Luo Sanpao] and then upgrading it with fragments.
He had wanted to see if he could directly synthesize the Golden Saint Dragon.
However, there was a bit of a gap between reality and his ideals.
Although Luo Wupao had been upgraded to yellow quality, it had only enhanced its own basic attributes and had not awakened any holy or light attributes.
However, it was still a great deal stronger than Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao.
Thus, Lu Feng had given this martial soul a new name: [Luo Wupao]!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
The Green Wood Python stopped, flicking its tongue as it sized up the 'soul beast' that had suddenly appeared.
With its level of intelligence, it couldn't understand why this soul beast would be so intimate with a human.
"Wupao, go and get rid of it!"
Lu Feng pointed at the Green Wood Python and gave an order to Luo Wupao.
"Luo?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Luo Wupao's eyes, and its small eyebrows furrowed.
It turned its head to look at the Green Wood Python, looking it up and down, seemingly comparing the other's size to its own.
"Hiss!"
The Green Wood Python let out a hiss, and Luo Wupao was instantly startled. However, when it turned its head, it found that Lu Feng had already run dozens of meters away.
"Luo!"
Luo Wupao's fur stood on end, and it scurried after Lu Feng on its short legs.
"Hiss!"
The Green Wood Python's pale yellow eyes brightened; it finally understood that it had been tricked.
The muscles in its abdomen moved rapidly. With a flick of its body, it instantly caught up to Luo Wupao and took a bite out of it.
"Luo, luo!" Luo Wupao let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.
"Poof!" Its body turned into a ball of pale yellow light and re-merged into Lu Feng's body.
At the same time, the running Lu Feng's face turned pale, and he fell to the ground. His left cheek accidentally hit a broken stone and was instantly cut.
Beast soul masters had a disadvantage compared to tool soul masters: if the beast martial soul was injured, the damage would be fed back to the soul master.
Luo Wupao was very special. It could be separated from the body and materialized, being an independent living entity. But even so, when it was injured, the damage would be fed back to Lu Feng.
"Hiss!"
The Green Wood Python's speed was incredibly fast, and it caught up in just a few breaths.
It let out a hiss and pounced straight at Lu Feng. Its mouth opened, as large as a washbasin, with viscous white saliva dripping from its fangs.
At the critical moment, Lu Feng's heart became extremely calm.
His eyes had turned completely purple as he silently calculated the distance between the Green Wood Python and himself.
"Ten meters... eight meters... three meters... one meter."
The giant python got closer and closer. Lu Feng could even smell the foul stench from its mouth.
"Now, Teleport!"
Lu Feng's face was as calm as a still well. He directly activated the skill, teleporting into mid-air.
The giant python crashed directly into the spot where Lu Feng had been. With a loud "boom," the ground beneath it suddenly collapsed, forming a huge trap.
Rows of arrows were embedded upside down in the trap, their tips incomparably sharp, reflecting a terrifying green light under the sun.
The bottom of the trap was covered with a layer of small black spheres, from which a strong smell of saltpeter emanated.
When one mentioned the Tang Sect in the world of martial arts, the first thing that came to mind was not hidden weapons, but poison!
After Lu Feng had synthesized the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record], besides studying the general outline of the internal art, he had spent most of his time concocting poisons.
The path of martial arts was not achieved overnight. Even if Lu Feng cultivated the [Mysterious Heaven Skill] twenty-four hours a day, he could not become a grandmaster in an instant.
And the crafting of hidden weapons relied more on various rare materials.
Only poison could produce effects in a short period of time.
The Green Wood Python hissed in pain, its body thrashing about in the trap. Its skin was pierced by the arrows until it was dripping with blood. The wounds quickly began to rot, and in some places, one could even see the stark white of its bones.
"Clink."
Lu Feng threw two flint stones into the trap and at the same time quickly fled into the distance.
As he ran, Lu Feng took a short-sleeved shirt out of his bag.
"Hoo!"
He took a deep breath and blew hard into the valve at the cuff. The short-sleeved shirt instantly inflated, looking like a life vest.
Just as Lu Feng put on the life vest, a deafening explosion sounded from behind him.
"Boom!"
A powerful blast of air erupted. Lu Feng felt as if he had collided head-on with a large truck, and his body was sent flying.
Several kilometers away, at the edge of a cliff.
A spirit hunting team was surrounding a black cat soul beast.
"Shh! Everyone, keep it down. A hundred-year Nether Cat is very clever," the brawny leader said in a low voice.
"Yes, boss!"
Just as the group was about to form an encirclement, the Nether Cat suddenly stood up, looked to the west, and then leaped into the forest with a few bounds.
"Holy crap, who the hell..."
"Boom!" Before the brawny man could finish his sentence, a sonic boom came from the distance.
What followed was a strong gust of wind. A small soul master was directly blown to the ground, landing face-first in the dirt.
"Holy crap! Boss, look quickly!"
A bearded soul master pointed at the red light rising in the distance and shouted excitedly at the brawny man.
The brawny man looked in the direction the bearded man was pointing and saw a red mushroom cloud slowly rising.
"Holy hell!"
On the other side, a Spirit Hall law enforcement team was patrolling the forest.
"Captain, look quickly!" a team member pointed at the distant mushroom cloud and shouted.
The leading soldier stopped and frowned slightly at the red cloud in the distance. "Looking at this commotion, it must be at least a Soul King powerhouse!"
"Hiss!"
Hearing this, the team members all gasped.
A Soul King powerhouse!
"Captain, should we go and take a look? If it causes a forest fire, our wages will be docked," said a short, yellow-haired soul master.
The captain turned his head and gave the yellow-haired man a sidelong glance. "If you want to go, go ahead, but don't drag me along to die with you."
The yellow-haired man scratched his head sheepishly and said no more.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"
Lu Feng jumped down from a large tree, spitting out the dirt from his mouth.
He looked in the direction of the trap and saw a huge crater. Within a radius of dozens of meters around the crater, there was not a single intact tree left.
"Holy crap, the power of this black powder is a bit too much, isn't it?" Lu Feng's eyes widened as he looked at the large pit in front of him.
Fortunately, he had run fast enough. If he had been a little slower, he might have been sent to the afterlife with the Green Wood Python.
As expected, art is an explosion!
Lu Feng walked to the edge of the crater and saw that the bottom was charred black. The soil and rocks had been completely deformed by the heat.
The Green Wood Python had completely disappeared, not even a bone fragment was left. Only a bright yellow soul ring floated at the bottom of the crater.
"Should I absorb it?"
Lu Feng looked at the bright soul ring before him, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
Hunting bow.
Triple Crossbow.
Poison.
Explosives.
He had used almost every means at his disposal.
After using teleportation consecutively, his soul power was also nearly depleted.
If he couldn't absorb the soul ring because of its age, did he run all this way just to hear a loud bang?
Lu Feng rummaged through his bag and took out a small, fist-sized bottle. "Good thing I came prepared!"
