Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 288 External Soul Bone, Cold Glass Ice Feather Tail
Crystal-clear snow feathers shot out all at once.

Beautiful as snow, hurried as rain.

Finally, they all fell into the pool, creating curtains of water.

After absorbing the spirit ring, Shui Bing'er's spirit power reached level 52.

Lin Xiao nodded and commented:
"This barrage of snow feathers is impossible to defend against. Combined with your Frost Invasion skill, Bing'er, the killing intent is hidden in the snow and danger is concealed within the beauty."

"That's a great skill for pulling a kite!"

This also makes up for Shui Bing'er's lack of long-range burst damage.

Shui Bing'er smiled and was about to speak when she saw an object emitting a crystalline light on the corpse of the Snow Feather Peacock, its silvery radiance as beautiful as the moonlight.

She covered her mouth in surprise and reached out to pick up the object.

It was actually a peacock feather-shaped external soul bone!

Lin Xiao was also very surprised.

"External soul bone?!"

Moreover, it's an external soul bone attached to a peacock's tail feather!
How similar this is to Hu Liena's fox tail with its attached soul bone.

They can all add to the fun... cough cough.

Lin Xiao meant that when dancing, the tail sways gracefully with the slender figure, a scene that would surely invigorate people.

"Bing'er, why don't you try absorbing it?"

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er sat cross-legged again to absorb the soul bone.

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, communicated with Maple Leaf in his mind.

"Maple Leaf, what is the quality of Bing'er's external soul bone?"

“Top-tier. Every ten-thousand-year-old external soul bone born from a powerful soul beast is a treasure that is hard to come by. This Snow Feather Peacock is also a ferocious bird among soul beasts, so there is no need to say more.”

"How does it compare to my Crimson Phoenix Wings?"

“Shui Bing’er’s is top-tier, while yours is god-tier; the Crimson Phoenix Wings were originally top-tier external soul bones, stronger than the tail feathers of this Snow Feather Peacock, but I used my essence blood to improve your quality, and you tempered them yourself during the Nirvana process, so you have long since transcended the mortal realm.”

Lin Xiao nodded and waited quietly for Shui Bing'er to absorb the soul bone.

More than half an hour has passed.

Shui Bing'er excitedly tiptoed, her snow-white feathers spreading out behind her. Under the sunlight, they appeared crystal clear and emitted a faint silver glow, exuding an aura of nobility and elegance.

The girl's fair skin and sky-blue hair complemented the magnificent and noble surroundings, creating a dreamlike and hazy beauty.

Lin Xiao clicked his tongue in praise:
"As expected of my Bing'er, the external soul bone of the Snow Feather Peacock looks like the real thing on you, making it seem as if the Snow Feather Peacock stole your clothes."

"Absolutely stunning!"

Shui Bing'er's pretty face flushed red, her snow-white skin tinged with pink, and she murmured:
"Brother Lin Xiao, do you... really think so?"

Lin Xiao laughed heartily.

"of course it's true!"

"Even the Snow Feather Peacock has no objections!"

The already dead Snow Feather Peacock: "..."

I thank you!
After praising him, Lin Xiao asked curiously:
"Bing'er, what's so special about the external soul bone of your Snow Feather Peacock?"

Shui Bing'er snapped out of her daze and quickly said:
“My external soul bone is called the Frosty Ice Feather Tail. It is used in conjunction with my fifth soul skill. If I use the external soul bone as the carrier for my fifth soul skill, I can get a 50% reduction in soul power consumption and a 50% increase in power.”

Lin Xiao couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

With its soul power halved, it's equivalent to being able to throw two instead of one big one, and the power boost is also extremely exaggerated. It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier external soul bone.

Shui Bing'er hid in the wind and snow.

Even bleeding them to death can kill the enemy.

But it's not over yet!

Shui Bing'er continued:

"In addition, my Frosty Ice Feather Tail is also sturdy and sharp, making it comparable to a divine weapon in close combat. When it is fully open, it can also wrap me in the feathers and resist some unavoidable damage."

Capable of both enduring and fighting,

It is truly an essential item for murder and robbery.

This achievement far exceeded Lin Xiao's expectations.

He was genuinely happy for Shui Bing'er. Maple Leaf couldn't help but say as well:

"Lin Xiao, this girl has an excellent personality and talent. She might actually be able to catch up with you."

After thinking about it, perhaps feeling that saying it like that was somewhat "boosting the morale of others while diminishing our own," Maple Leaf didn't forget to add a patch:
"Of course! In the end, only I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you!"

"Pah! You're on par with me!"

Maple Leaf said Shui Bing'er was talented, but that was only because she could barely see Lin Xiao's back.

……

Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er rested for two days.

They then ventured deeper into the core area, searching for traces of the Dark Feather Fire Raven.

The Netherwing Fire Crow feeds on the souls of the dead. The fresher and more powerful the corpse, the more it attracts the Netherwing Fire Crow, as it seems to have a mysterious connection to death.

Lin Xiao simply decided not to go looking for Mingyu Fire Crow.

Instead, they search for the corpses of powerful soul beasts, especially those with fresh signs of battle nearby.

He carried Shui Bing'er through mountains and rivers.

For some reason, the little girl wasn't afraid of hardship or fatigue, and she wasn't even afraid of the many dangers in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. She seemed very happy following Lin Xiao.

But Lin Xiao couldn't help but complain:
"There's a reason why the Dark Feather Fire Crow is so rare and almost extinct, even though it's clearly very strong. Putting aside everything else, it really needs to change its picky eating habits!"

He recalled the description of the Netherwing Fire Crow in the Soul Beast Compendium.

The Dark Feather Fire Crow is solitary and prefers to feed on the lingering spirits of the recently deceased.

We don't eat live animals, nor do we eat animals that have been dead for a long time.

They only eat animals that have recently died.

Lin Xiao strongly suspects that this kind of soul beast has brought disaster upon itself and become a "protected animal"!

……

Seven days later.

Lin Xiao discovered two soul beast corpses: a 20,000-year-old ghost leopard and an 18,000-year-old ghost-patterned giant python, their bodies tightly intertwined.

The signs of a fight at the scene were very fresh.

The surrounding spirit beasts dared not approach for the time being.

He and Shui Bing'er waited patiently, hoping to get lucky.

I waited from afternoon until dusk.

"Gah-"

Suddenly, a mournful caw of a crow rang out.

The forest fell silent instantly, even the summer insects fell silent for a moment.

Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly narrowed, a look of surprise appearing in them. After exchanging a glance with Shui Bing'er, he hid in the treetops, not wanting to alert the enemy.

moment.

I heard the sound of wings flapping.

Then,

A raven, its entire body jet black without a single stray feather, as dark as the night, surrounded by eerie ghostly flames, landed on the treetop opposite. Its purple-black eyes were fixed on the dead ghost leopard and the ghostly python.

After staring for a while, the Dark Feather Fire Crow flew down.

It opened its raven-like beak, and two venomous phantoms floated out from the soul rings of the ghost leopard and the ghostly python. However, they became fearful under the scorching heat of the Netherfire and were eventually devoured and absorbed.

"..."

Lin Xiao understood.

So this is how the Darkwing Fire Crow eats!

It eats the souls within the soul rings of recently deceased soul beasts!

Lin Xiao's gaze towards the Dark Feather Fire Crow instantly became fervent.

He has a bold idea!
