Chapter 149 Unexpected Gain (Please Subscribe!!! Bonus Chapter 2)

"Bloodvine can enhance your sustained combat ability and recovery ability."

"Of course, if you want to continue adding beast spirit attack methods, we can also choose other spirit beasts."

Su Ming thought Dugu Bo's analysis was correct and said, "It's the Blood Vine. I'm gathering my Qi and Blood power now, so I might be able to get some improvement from the Blood Vine."

The power of qi and blood?

Yes.

Dugu Bo hadn't really thought of this.

Su Ming did not refuse, so he became more enthusiastic and, recalling the location of the blood vine, led Su Ming to wander deep into the Sunset Forest.

Along the way, they did observe other spirit beasts, and there were several spirit beasts that were suitable for Su Ming. Unfortunately, none of them were a good match. They were either too young, less than 10,000 years old, or too old, with a cultivation level of 20,000 to 30,000 years.

It's worth mentioning that Su Ming encountered a ten-thousand-year-old cave spider. If it weren't for Dugu Bo's martial spirit possessing him and severely injuring the spider with his powerful strength, the cave spider would have continued to follow the two of them.

The Cave Spider is quite peculiar; it ranks among the top spider-type soul beasts, but it doesn't rely on poison for attacks. Instead, it wins through tactics.

Good tactics.

The spider silk of the cave spider is extremely strong, and the sticky fluid attached to the silk also has a strong adsorption capacity. With its silk, the cave spider can usually trap opponents who are much stronger than itself.

Besides spider silk, his greatest skill is digging tunnels. He can quickly travel underground to create traps in order to hunt prey.

Some greedy cave spiders, boasting of their superior intelligence, scheme against and prey on higher-age soul beasts in order to grow rapidly.

"This ten-thousand-year-old cave spider is probably only ten thousand years old. Its intelligence has increased and it has become arrogant. Even my power as a titled Douluo couldn't scare it away."

Dugu Bo withdrew his martial spirit and watched the cave spider flee in panic, but did not pursue it.

"It's a pity that the Cave Spider is not suitable for you. Otherwise, with the quality of this Cave Spider, it would definitely be a good soul ring."

Su Ming did not refute.

If it were a human-faced spider, he might suddenly have the urge to see if he could get lucky and unleash an Eight Spider Lances.

But since it's a cave spider, then forget it.

Of course, this is something to think about.

The human-faced demon spider capable of producing eight spider spears is in the Star Dou Great Forest, and its age is extremely low, which does not meet Su Ming's needs.

The two arrived at a swamp.

Dugu Bo pointed to the depths of the swamp.

"I can feel it, the blood vine is deep in the swamp ahead."

Su Ming looked around and discovered that there were a large number of small soul beasts living in the swamp. He could easily be ambushed if he wasn't careful.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo released his dark green soul power to clear a path in front of him.

"With my poison here, these soul beasts dare not approach."

call out!
A sharp thorn flew in from who-knows-where.

Dugu Bo looked over with a cold gaze.

A snake tail appeared behind him, swept past Su Ming, and knocked away the spikes.

Su Ming looked at the spikes and gasped.

The spike was as big as his arm, with an exceptionally sharp tip and a metallic sheen.

He suddenly looked in the direction from which the spikes had been shot.

"It's Metagross, senior, catch him!" Su Ming said quickly. "A secretion inside Metagross can effectively alter the internal structure of metals. If we can capture him alive and continuously extract that secretion, my forging efficiency can increase by at least 30%."

Dugu Bo hadn't cared at first, but after hearing Su Ming's words, he vanished from Su Ming's side in the next instant. On the opposite side, a huge monster whose body seemed to be made of metal quickly retreated.

He sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Dugu Bo.

I should have known better than to be so foolish.

The thought flashed through its mind, and Metagross lost consciousness, turning into a statue.

"Heh, why did you have to be so impulsive? A six-thousand-year-old soul beast, where did you get the guts to attack me?"

Dugu Bo stepped forward, patted the Megalodon that had turned into a statue, picked it up, and placed it in a good spot.

"This Metagross is only six thousand years old. The petrification effect I activated at full power can last for at least ten days."

Su Ming arrived at that moment, carefully observed the Metagross, and a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.

"I never expected to run into a Metagross here."

The Megalodon is not a common soul beast; it is rare and doesn't exist in most soul beast settlements. It is estimated that it can only be found in places like Sunset Forest, Star Dou Great Forest, and Savage Beast Mountain Range.

Metagross is not made of metal, but it can manipulate metal elements. During its growth, it likes to convert the various metals it collects into metal elements and attach them to its body. Over time, it becomes a lump of iron.

In fact, its interior is not metal.

"I didn't realize it until you said it. The Metagross's abilities are indeed suitable for the forging system. I guess some Soul Masters will definitely make that connection in the future. I wonder if the already few Metagross will become extinct."

Will they become extinct?
The problem is not big.

"As long as this Metagross doesn't die, Metagross won't go extinct."

Su Ming had no intention of exploiting the situation to the point of exhaustion; his goal in capturing this giant golden monster was sustainable development.

As for other Soul Masters hunting down the Megalomon to collect its body materials, or trying to obtain corresponding Soul Skills from its Soul Rings, it has nothing to do with Su Ming.

The development of the Soul Master world cannot stop, and whether some Soul Beasts become extinct is not something he can decide.

Soul beasts have their own internal survival mechanism of natural selection, which has led to the extinction of countless rare soul beasts. So what if the extinction of soul beasts is caused by changes in the soul master world?
An excessive sense of compassion will only make you a clown.

Deep in the swamp.

A giant, dark red tree stands tall.

Upon closer inspection, it is not a tree, but a winding, spiraling vine that has piled up to form a tree.

The vines are dark red overall, with very obvious bright red veins, and occasionally a red sheen flows through the veins.

Around the giant tree, dark red vines stretched in all directions, turning the surrounding area a crimson red.

Su Ming and Dugu Bo arrived at a nearby place.

“Look, this is the Blood Vine.” Dugu Bo pointed to a vine not far from his feet and said, “The Blood Vine has an extremely strong ability to split. Often, a single Blood Vine can affect a very wide area, far exceeding that of a Soul Beast of the same level. The vines split from this ten-thousand-year-old Blood Vine can probably cover an area of ​​three kilometers in radius.”

"That is why the blood vine is extremely resilient. If some of its tendrils are missed, it may allow him to escape."

Su Ming asked in confusion, "Then how do we kill this kind of soul beast?"

His understanding of soul beasts is actually not as good as Dugu Bo's.

"In the way I'm best at."

What's your best approach?
Su Ming looked at Dugu Bo and realized something.

poison!
"The blood vine has a lot of vines, and the energy substances in the vines circulate very quickly. Look at those vines, each time a red light flows through them, that is one cycle."

"As long as the poison is introduced into his bloodstream, it will kill him."
