Douluo: Tara's Mask, the Ultimate Darkness!

Chapter 363 Toad Essence and Soul Bone

Ning Fengzhi was filled with doubt.

He didn't understand the benefits of this approach; it seemed that low-level soul bones offered almost no improvement to Xiao San.

Otherwise, why would everyone be so eager to obtain a 100,000-year-old soul bone? Even a 10,000-year-old soul bone is extremely rare.

The Star Luo Empire already made a profit by obtaining a 30,000-year-old soul bone in the Soul Master Competition, which made others envious.

But Ning Fengzhi has a million questions about the content of the Divine Test.

Ultimately, he could only attribute it to something special about the divine examination.

Especially the divine equipment that Toad Tang San mentioned.

"Hey, how do I get the best gear?"

Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but ask, as he had more to think about.

"Those soul bones should be able to transform into divine armor the moment I complete the divine test."

"Uncle Ning, my martial soul is a toad, so naturally I need to find the one that suits me best so that the divine equipment can unleash its full power."

"I can complete the Divine Trial now as long as these people from these forces return," Toad Tang San said excitedly.

I'm almost done with the ninth exam.

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up. Was it possible for him to also obtain divine equipment?

"In that case, you, the mistress, can make your own decision."

Ning Fengzhi didn't want to say anything more. Maybe he was just overthinking things. The Divine Test was really beyond his ability to predict.

Perhaps there really is a deeper meaning behind it.

Tang San, the toad, nodded, only wanting to complete the divine test as soon as possible, for the moment he would take his revenge.

Within the Starry Sky Forest, two armies swept through the area in a grand procession, leaving no toad untouched.

"Senior Bone Douluo, shall we venture deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest?"

One of the leaders looked at Bone Douluo and asked with concern.

During this period, they eliminated all the toads on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, and they drained the water from the pools and caught the toads that were hiding there.

Even tree frogs, once spotted by them, met a tragic end.

The toads that escaped the disaster hurried towards the territory of the posthumous toads, a safer place where they gathered.

Some even ran towards the territory of powerful soul beasts, hoping for a sliver of a chance to survive.

Bone Douluo gazed intently at the Star Dou Great Forest. He knew that the deeper they went, the more dangerous it would be, and if they encountered a herd of beasts, they might all be wiped out.

On one side is the divine test, on the other is mortal danger.

Bone Douluo looked around and saw that several powerful figures from major forces had gathered there: "Luo Mian, what do you think?"

Bone Douluo posed this difficult question to Yu Luomian, who was the strongest being besides Bone Douluo.

One title, plus several Soul Douluos and two sizable armies.

"Go ahead, I think it's worth the risk for the sake of the mistress's divine examination."

Yu Luomian spoke without any hesitation. Before coming here, Yu Yuanzhen had instructed him to prioritize Tang San's divine test, even if it meant sacrificing some lives.

"Then let's set off."

"Let's strive to wipe out the toad race!"

Bone Douluo steeled his heart. Since he had decided to do it, he would do it thoroughly. Wildfire cannot burn it out; it will spring up again with the spring breeze.

"I lead a team, and I know where toads are."

Yu Luomian thought of the events that happened more than a year ago when he came to the Star Dou Great Forest with Toad Tang San. There might be some toads in that place.

Now that word has spread that they are hunting toads, those who haven't been caught will surely try to escape.

That place might already be teeming with toads, since it's a very secluded spot. They wouldn't have found it without the toads leading the way. Now, it's a good time to go check it out.

The toad never knew until its death that its unintentional act would bring disaster.

Yu Luomian led an army and headed towards that place.

Bone Douluo didn't hesitate either. With a single command, the army once again swept towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

Beside the Lake of Life, a little rabbit hops around, moving only by instinct.

Beside them, a beautiful woman watched calmly, her eyes filled with tenderness mixed with heartache.

"Aunt Rou, some soul beasts have reported that humans are massacring toads."

Erming's voice rang out softly.

Arou didn't care about any of these things. Even Tang San, that toad clan guy, didn't care about their lives or deaths, so why should she care?

"Erming, don't worry about it. Seal off this place and let them make a scene."

Arou gently picked up the pink and white rabbit that was hopping on the ground and spoke softly.

"Aunt Rou, what if those toads come here?" Erming asked in a low voice.

"Since they've come this far, protect them and keep them away from here. The fact that they made it this far means they're not meant to die."

After Arou finished speaking, she carried the pink and white rabbit into the cabin.

Erming scratched his head; he knew what to do.

The hunt for toads by Tian Dou and Xing Luo lasted for more than two months.

Over the past two months, the toads in the Star Dou Great Forest have been almost completely slaughtered, leaving corpses everywhere.

Killing is a common occurrence in the Star Dou Great Forest, especially since it was just a toad that died, which didn't cause much of a stir in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Mistress, you've fulfilled your mission!"

Bone Douluo and his group returned with their spoils, and Xue Ye and the others also gathered at the palace.

Inside the palace, a bucket of blood, filled with a mixture of stench and filth, sat to one side.

Over the past two months, they have hunted countless toads to achieve this feat.

Looking at the bucket of blood, Toad Tang San felt nauseous; it was truly disgusting.

Do I really have to refine this bucket of essence blood? Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible.

"Grandpa Bone, what about the soul bone?"

Toad Tang San wanted the soul bone even more. Only with the soul bone would he have a chance to obtain divine equipment. The thought of divine equipment excited Toad Tang San.

When the topic of soul bones came up, Bone Douluo's expression turned somewhat grim, but after glancing at Toad Tang San, he still took them out.

A dozen or so soul bones were placed on the table in the palace. In the past two months, all the toads, big and small, had produced only this many soul bones.

It's easy to imagine how low the drop rate of soul bones is... They must have killed at least nine thousand, if not tens of thousands, of toads.

"Little San, the oldest of these soul bones is no more than a hundred years old."

"There was a ten-thousand-year-old toad, but unfortunately it didn't drop its soul bone, nor did the other thousand-year-old ones."

Bone Douluo felt a little regretful; if he had a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, this trip wouldn't have been such a loss.

Looking at the various sizes of soul bones on the table, Toad Tang San felt a surge of excitement; his divine test was about to be completed.

"It's alright, Grandpa Bone, I don't care about the age limit," Toad Tang San said excitedly.

Not caring about the time limit? Then it probably wasn't absorbed.

"So it wasn't meant to be absorbed after all. Then even a hundred years is fine."

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Bone Douluo instinctively spoke up, worried that the other party might have lost his mind and absorb this less than ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.
