Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 164 Lijing Liya
They leaped into the air, their fish tails swaying gently once more, and gracefully landed on the deck. Their translucent silver scales refracted tiny sparkles in the afterglow of the setting sun as they moved.

Its tail fin left a trail of water on the deck, its wet long hair clung to its skin, and its eyes were greedily fixed on Liu Ruyan.

"Beautiful... mermaid!"

Liu Ruyan stared blankly at the mermaid who suddenly leaped onto the deck.

But then she got excited and wanted to shout it out.

But Mina didn't give her time to shout; she immediately unleashed her immense spiritual power into her mind.

Liu Ruyan let out a muffled groan and immediately fainted.

The two mermaids excitedly stepped forward, wanting to carry her back.

"Do it!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the cabin.

The two mermaids were taken aback by what they heard.

But the next second, several powerful auras emanated from beneath the decks all around.

"Fell into a trap!"

Mina suddenly realized something and quickly grabbed her younger sister to leave.

But Wu Lao and the others had already jumped up from the decks around them and immediately began to attack them using their own spirit ring skills.

The two mermaids immediately released their mental barriers, but they shattered instantly in the face of the attacks from the five titled Douluo.

"go!"

Mina quickly used her own body to block the attacks from Wu Lao and the others, while forcefully throwing her younger sister away.

"Go and seek revenge on the clan chief!"

"revenge?"

With a flash, Elder Wu appeared on the cold sea surface. Before the mermaid could enter the sea, his seventh soul ring lit up, and he directly activated his Martial Soul True Body, instantly transforming into a hundred-meter-tall red dragon.

Then his first, second, and fifth spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

The thick, crimson dragon claw tore through the air and slammed down with a mountain-like pressure.

The moment the 50,000-year-old mermaid landed on the sea, a gigantic dragon claw that blotted out the sky slammed down. In her haste, she quickly conjured a water shield.

But the water shield shattered the moment it touched the dragon's claw, creating a cloud of white steam. The mermaid's silvery-white scales were also burned and curled by the scorching soul power, and blood mixed with steam shot into the sky.

"Humph!"

The old shaman snorted coldly, and his scorching dragon claw pierced through the mermaid's left shoulder, bringing up a cloud of blood mist. The enormous impact slammed her onto the surface of the sea.

The icy seawater boiled violently under the high temperature, turning into rising white mist that dissipated.

When the old shaman withdrew his dragon claw, all that remained on the sea was a crushed corpse, a pitch-black soul ring, and a soul bone that shimmered with an eerie light.

"Soul bone!"

When Elder Wu saw the head bone, his eyes lit up. He quickly withdrew from his Martial Soul True Body, retrieved it from the sea, and examined it closely.

It is a 50,000-year-old head bone.

"Xiao Han definitely wouldn't want a 50,000-year-old soul bone; Xiao Feng can absorb it."

After thinking for a moment, the old shaman took the soul bone and flew up.

The deck had already been shattered by the attacks of Tyrannosaurus Douluo and others.

Mina was already critically injured and dying. The silver scales on her fish tail were charred black by Ye Lao's electricity, her left arm was broken by Ming Lao, and her abdomen was pierced by Tyrannosaurus Douluo.

The Vine Emperor Douluo summoned strong vines to bind her.

Dugu Han led Wu Ming out of the cabin.

The Soul Emperors in the power room, hearing the huge commotion above, also came up.

"It's all over now. We'll head back to the waters near Dongyang City and find a port with hardly anyone around."

After saying something to them, Dugu Han walked up to Mina and took out a pill from the Moon Goddess's Tear and fed it to her.

We finally found a mermaid, and we were counting on using her to catch that 100,000-year-old mermaid with golden blood. It wouldn't be fun if she died like this!
"I didn't expect her to be so weak!" Tyrannosaurus Douluo stood to the side, somewhat embarrassed.

He was worried that the mermaid would ask for help, so he hit her hardest. If it weren't for Vine Emperor Douluo blocking for the mermaid, he probably would have lost his spirit ring on the spot!
"It's alright, she won't die!"

Dugu Han smiled and said.

Although the mermaid race is not strong in physical defense, they are still 70,000-year-old soul beasts with incredibly strong vitality.

He fed him another high-quality healing pill, and he should wake up in two or three days at most.

However, it's best to get some seawater. Soaking the sea spirit beast in seawater will definitely help it recover from its injuries.

Thinking of this, Dugu Han raised his right hand and made a loose fist.

The ice elements above the icy sea seemed to have been summoned, and quickly converged towards Dugu Han, slowly forming a refrigerator that was five meters long and two meters wide.

"I'll go down and get some seawater!"

Tyrannosaurus Douluo understood his meaning and volunteered to carry the refrigerator to fetch seawater from the icy sea.

When Dugu Han returned, he put the unconscious Mina inside.

He then looked at Elder Wu and asked, "What about that 50,000-year-old mermaid? Did you manage to get her to send out a distress call?"

"no!"

The old shaman smiled and took out the 50,000-year-old head bone: "This is her head bone after she died, look..."

"Please keep this and give it to Wu Feng!"

Dugu Han didn't care about soul bones that were less than 100,000 years old.

"Then I'll keep it!"

The old shaman chuckled and put the soul bone away.

A 50,000-year-old head bone, and it even came from a top-tier spiritual beast like a mermaid.

Old Ye and the others were somewhat envious.

However, the 50,000-year-old mermaid was hunted down by the old witch, and her soul bone should rightfully belong to him, so none of them had any objections.

As they spoke, the Soul Guidance Ship, driven by those Soul Emperors, resumed its voyage towards Dongyang City.

Three days later, at dusk!

The soul-guided ship stopped about four or five kilometers away from Dongyang City.

The distance is four or five kilometers. If the Sea Princess appears, they can quickly fly back to Dongyang City.

"Young Master Dugu, ahead is a port that has been abandoned for over thirty years. There used to be some people living there, but because the port was abandoned and its location was remote, everyone moved away!"

"I understand. You should go back to Dongyang City first!"

Dugu Han summoned the forty-two Soul Emperors from the power room and tossed them two Gold Soul Coin cards.

He then found Liu Ruyan, gave her the gold soul coin card he had promised, and let her return to Dongyang City with those Soul Emperors.

Then he went to see the mermaid.

Mina's injuries have healed somewhat, but she has not yet regained consciousness.

"Will she wake up tonight?" Wu Ming asked as she walked over. "Probably not, probably tomorrow!"

Dugu Han examined her and found that her injuries were too severe; she wouldn't wake up until at least tomorrow morning.

"Then let's wait!"

Wu Ming sat down next to him.

"Don't wait here, let's go to the cabin."

"Otherwise, she probably wouldn't dare to ask her own people for help after she wakes up."

After Dugu Han finished speaking, he led Wu Ming into the cabin and also called Wu Lao and the others in.

Everyone waited in the cabin.

The sun quickly set, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, as dusk turned into night.

Then the moon set, the sun rose in the east, and night turned into dawn.

Everyone waited in the cabin.

Mina didn't wake up until the sun rose in the morning.

"I'm not dead yet?"

She opened her eyes slightly, her eyelashes fluttering, and suddenly felt a piercing pain from her tail fin, which was covered in vines.

With the slightest movement, the charred silver scales on her body peeled off in a flurry, revealing her empty left arm and the scabs on her abdomen. However, with each slight movement, the scabs were rubbed painfully by the vines binding her body.

"Human soul master!"

Mina's eyes flashed with hatred and rage, and a silvery-white aura shone from her body. Her powerful spiritual energy probed into the icy sea.

The distress signal, unique to the mermaid clan, spread out like spider silk across the icy sea.

The closest ancient mermaid to this area, upon receiving her distress signal, unhesitatingly released her own spiritual power to help her relay the distress message to her tribe.

Following this, the other mermaids who received the distress signal released their spiritual power one after another, continuously transmitting her distress signal to her tribe.

……

The land of the mermaid tribe deep in the icy sea!

A mermaid about three meters long, wearing a golden crown and with golden scales on her tail, is healing a seriously injured mermaid together with another mermaid wearing a silver crown.

These are the people of their tribe they just rescued from a malevolent spirit master.

"None of the human Soul Masters are good people."

“We live peacefully in the icy sea and have never provoked them, yet they constantly covet our soul rings and soul bones.”

While mobilizing the power of the ocean to help heal the severely injured mermaid, the Silver-Crowned Mermaid said indignantly, "From now on, whenever I see a human Soul Master, I will kill them one by one."

"Sister, stop complaining!"

The golden-crowned mermaid beside her said, "Let's heal her first. Before Mother went to guard the sea near the far north, she specifically instructed us to protect our people."

After saying that, she used all her strength to draw upon the power of the ocean to heal the mermaid.

Compared to the Silver Crown Mermaid, the Golden Crown Mermaid possesses the most supreme golden bloodline among the mermaid race.

Even though her cultivation level wasn't as high as the Silver-Crowned Mermaid's, her ability to mobilize the power of the ocean was far superior.

Before long, under the treatment of the two crowned mermaids, the seriously injured mermaid's external injuries had fully recovered, with only some internal injuries requiring a period of recuperation.

The golden-crowned mermaid called over several members of her tribe to look after her, and then went out with her sister.

When the mermaids outside see them, they all bow slightly in greeting.

Because they are respectively Lijing, the eldest daughter of the mermaid clan leader, the sea princess, and her youngest daughter, Liya.

As Lijing and Liya walked under the coral arch, they suddenly received a strange mental fluctuation at the same time.

That was a distress signal unique to the mermaid race.

"It's a distress call from Mina! She's been captured by a human soul master!"

Upon sensing the distress call, Lijing clenched her fists in anger, her eyes filled with fury.

Liya also frowned.

Mina is a 70,000-year-old mermaid in her tribe, with great potential to surpass 100,000 years.

"In the message for help sent by Mina, she said that there are many Title Douluos who want to capture her. Mother is not here. Let's gather our clansmen!"

Liya made a fist with her right hand and summoned a golden spear.

"it is good!"

Regent also summoned a silver spear.

The two spears clashed, and a powerful spiritual force emanated from them.

Before long, the mermaids who had been summoned arrived one after another.

Before long, they had gathered over a hundred mermaids that were over ten thousand years old.

"set off!"

Liya pointed her golden spear in the direction where Mina had sent the distress signal.

The golden flames bursting from the spearheads instantly illuminated the entire dark sea. Hundreds of mermaids, some over ten thousand years old, simultaneously swayed their tails, their scales shimmering and reflecting the golden light, like...

It swiftly traversed the trenches like a streak of light.

Lijing and Liya followed closely behind the group, quickly heading towards the direction from which Mina had sent the distress signal.

The icy seawater did not hinder them in the slightest. On the contrary, under the influence of Liya's golden bloodline, it was like a tamed spirit beast, automatically diverting at the moment the mermaids swayed their tails.

……

On the Soul Guidance Ship, Dugu Han and the others immediately sensed Mina's plea for help.

But they still didn't leave the cabin; they were still waiting for the arrival of the mermaids.

If the mermaid clan does not receive Mina's plea for help, they will need Mina to continue to plead for help until the mermaid clan comes to their rescue.

"As soon as the mermaid race appears on a large scale, we will immediately take the mermaid we captured to the land. On land, the strength of the sea spirit beasts will be greatly weakened."

Dugu Han reiterated the plan to everyone, and told them to pay special attention to the mermaid clan's martial soul combination skills.

"Let me interrupt!"

Old Master Ye stepped forward and spoke.

Everyone agreed with this.

His martial soul is the Thunder Giant Eagle, which is very effective at interrupting the martial soul combination skills of sea spirit beasts.

Next, Dugu Han reintroduced his target to everyone: a 100,000-year-old mermaid with golden blood.

Features: Wears a golden crown and has a fish tail with golden scales.

They came to hunt souls, not to wage war against the mermaid clan; their goal was simply to kill their targets.

After reaching an agreement, everyone began to wait again.
