Sunset Forest, one of the three major soul beast gathering places.
The vegetation was mainly shrubs, and the density of trees was relatively sparse. Therefore, the age of the soul beasts here was much lower than in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Lu Feng had once asked Dugu Bo, and there were no hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Sunset Forest. The top-tier soul beasts were only about fifty thousand years old.
It was also because of this that Dugu Bo could occupy the treasured land of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
If it were in the Star Dou Great Forest, the temptation of the immortal herbs would probably attract a large group of terrifying soul beasts.
"Boom!"
A violent collision sound rang out. A pangolin over five meters long slammed hard against a large rock.
"Crack!"
Spiderweb-like cracks spread out, and the giant rock, more than ten meters high, shattered at the sound.
However, under such a powerful impact, the pangolin was actually fine.
It stretched out its claws and scratched its head in a human-like manner. Then its entire body burrowed into the ground and quickly fled the place.
"Holy crap, that defense is way too strong! Wupao, chase it!"
Lu Feng looked at the giant rock, which had broken into several pieces, and a grave look appeared in his eyes.
"Luo, luo!"
Luo Wupao barked twice in a certain direction, indicating that this soul beast had not escaped its smelling range.
The full name of this soul beast was Earth Dragon Pangolin. It contained a trace of a dragon-type bloodline within its body and was a famous soul beast race in the Sunset Forest.
And the soul beast before them was clearly a variant among the Earth Dragon Pangolins.
For no other reason than that this soul beast had a chance of dropping a soul bone.
"It was worth chasing it for a whole day. This drop rate is much higher than that Man-Faced Demon Spider back then!"
Lu Feng walked to the side of the giant rock and picked up a purple skill fragment.
[Picked up a purple skill [Soul Power Storage] fragment *1 (5/10)]
Having been in the forest for many years, Lu Feng's use of his golden finger could be described as masterful.
When fighting soul beasts, besides dropping basic attribute fragments, there was also a chance of dropping some special skills.
For example, the ones he had already synthesized: Devour, Armor Break.
If it could drop a skill, it meant that this soul beast was very likely to drop a soul bone.
Of course, the final result was not certain.
So far, Lu Feng had only obtained one Dreadclaw Bear's palm bone, and it had even been absorbed by Zhu Zhuqing.
Looking at the large hole in the ground, Lu Feng's eyes were filled with coldness. This soul beast's soul bone, he was determined to have it!
On a small hill, one man and one dog surrounded the pangolin.
"Wupao, you cover me!" Lu Feng bumped his fists together, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
After the battle with Chenchen, Lu Feng had a general understanding of his own combat strength.
At that time, Gu Lin's soul power shield had been broken by Lu Feng.
With the strength of three rings, to be able to exchange a blow with a Soul Douluo powerhouse, could be considered unprecedented.
Without using Luo Wupao's ability, in an all-out situation, as long as the opponent's cultivation was below six rings, Lu Feng was confident he could take them on.
"Swoosh!"
Lu Feng stomped his foot, and his figure instantly shot forward a large distance.
In the process of charging, a surging golden light burst forth from his body, and his whole person looked as if he were gilded.
[Brass Knuckles] Martial Soul Third Soul Skill: Fist of Justice!
For one hour, all his own attributes such as attack power, defense power, speed, strength, and spiritual power were doubled.
Every time he used this soul skill, Lu Feng would think of Dai Mubai in his heart.
Tiger boy, your soul ring is really useful!
"Bang!"
A fierce collision sound rang out.
The pangolin and Lu Feng's bodies were both knocked back seven or eight steps.
"Again!"
Lu Feng shouted loudly. His first soul ring flashed repeatedly as he alternated his left and right fists. With each punch, the power increased by several degrees.
As a melee-type martial soul, the [Brass Knuckles]' fighting style was very simple.
That was to go head-to-head.
Lu Feng's first three soul rings—Green Wood Python, Flame Hog, and Holy White Tiger—could all be classified as strength-type soul beasts.
Under the enhancement of three strength-type soul rings, Lu Feng's strength was not inferior to that of a pure defense system soul master.
Generally speaking, a strength-type soul master would be a lot lacking in terms of speed. For example, Zhao Wuji.
However, with his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Teleportation skills, Lu Feng did not fall behind in speed, and was even more outstanding than most agility attack system soul masters.
"Boom!"
Another violent explosion.
The soul power in Lu Feng's right fist almost condensed into substance. From a distance, it looked like a black dragon-shaped energy wave, which was unleashed and smashed hard onto the pangolin's body.
The berserk energy exploded, stirring up a fierce gale. The surrounding plants were brutally overturned, and a tree that took two people to encircle was snapped in half at the waist, its trunk dancing in the strong wind.
At this time, a crack had appeared on the pangolin's back.
The pangolin wailed. It turned its head and glanced at Luo Wupao, then glared viciously at Lu Feng.
Although this human soul master in front of it was powerful, what truly made it feel terrified was the little dog standing to the side, watching the battle.
An eight-thousand-year-old soul beast already possessed preliminary intelligence. Although it was only equivalent to a human child, it had keenly sensed that it was in mortal danger today.
The next moment, a strong soul power fluctuation burst forth from the pangolin's body.
Then, one after another, earthy-yellow streams of light continuously gathered upwards from its four limbs. Its entire body was bathed in a heavy, earthy-yellow light, and the wound on its back actually began to heal at a visible rate.
"A bit interesting," Lu Feng stroked his chin, his expression sinking.
However, he was not flustered.
The soul beast before him was already at the end of its rope. He was determined to kill it today. Even the Seraphim couldn't protect it.
"Heh!"
Lu Feng shouted loudly and charged forward with his fists raised.
At the same time, two lights, one gold and one white, shone on his body. His whole person looked as if he were bathed in holy light.
Under the combination of the [Holy] and [Light] attributes, Lu Feng's resistance to all negative effects was raised to the maximum.
Adding the [Invincible Golden Body] skill, Lu Feng was ten percent confident that he could fight this nearly ten-thousand-year-old soul beast alone.
As Lu Feng's fists continuously smashed down, the pangolin's body gradually became weaker.
However, the flow of light on the pangolin's scales did not slow down. In fact, with each blow, the light would intensify by a fraction.
Lu Feng secretly raised his guard. He had a feeling that this soul beast was charging up a big move.
"It's coming!"
After about three minutes, Lu Feng observed that the soul power on the pangolin's body suddenly became restless.
The pangolin's change was very subtle, but all its small movements, under Lu Feng's Purple Demon Eye, had nowhere to hide.
"Ding!" Lu Feng's body instantly turned completely golden.
The next moment, the light on the pangolin's body flared. A powerful, earthy-yellow soul power burst forth. Instantly, a soul power explosion occurred within a radius of several hundred meters.
The soil was brutally overturned, and crushed stones flew everywhere. The trees that took several people to encircle were directly blown into several pieces, and then crushed into debris by the soul power shockwave.
An earthy-yellow soul power energy wave spread out, and the surrounding several kilometers seemed to have been swept by a strong wind.
"Awoo!"
Some of the remaining soul beasts wailed and quickly fled the place.
When the explosion completely ended, the area within a radius of several hundred meters around the pangolin had almost become a vacuum.
At this time, the pangolin crawled out of the large pit, turned its small head, as if to confirm whether Lu Feng was still alive.
Its state was somewhat listless. Its entire torso was lying on the ground, and it couldn't even support itself with its four limbs.
Clearly, this move was its last trump card.
Just then, the pangolin suddenly felt a strong soul power fluctuation coming from above its head.
It subconsciously wanted to dodge to the side, but in the next moment, as it rolled over, that violent energy had already smashed onto its body.
The pangolin's torso rolled to the bottom of the large pit again, and a deep purple soul ring rose from its corpse.
"Wupao, guard me!"
"Luo, luo!"
Lu Feng jumped to the bottom of the pit and, using the natural cover, began to absorb this soul ring.
For his fourth soul ring, Lu Feng had originally considered whether to absorb a ten-thousand-year one.
After much deliberation, he still gave up this choice.
The age of the first few soul rings was not too important; it could be increased later through divine trials. There was no need to put himself into endless trouble for a single soul ring.
Lu Feng did not have a Titled Douluo for a father.
About ten minutes later, Lu Feng slowly opened his eyes.
Lu Feng's eyes were full of pleasant surprise, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
He finally knew what was going on with the soul power explosion that the pangolin had used at the end.
[Brass Knuckles] Fourth Soul Skill: Sucker Punch.
Stores 100% of the damage received. The higher one's own soul power, the higher the upper limit of the stored damage.
At the same time, the accumulated damage can be converted into a heavy punch in a cone-shaped area in front, dealing 200% damage to all enemies in the area.
Lu Feng put away his martial soul, but the smile at the corner of his mouth just couldn't be suppressed.
He took out a dagger from his soul tool and walked over to the pangolin's corpse to begin dissecting.
"If nothing goes wrong..."
"Pah, pah, pah, I shouldn't celebrate too early."
Before long, a bone glowing with an earthy-yellow light was cut out by Lu Feng.
