Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 38 Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear

In fact, Yang Ping'an has been staying in the Star Dou Great Forest for so long for two reasons. One is to hunt various metal and dragon attribute soul beasts so that the Purple Gold Mastiff can devour them. The other is for his own training. In such a dangerous environment, the human body can maximize its potential.

More importantly, it is to find a third spirit ring. Finding a suitable top-quality metal spirit ring is not that simple.

According to Yang Ping'an's estimate, by using whale glue for a long time and training himself, he should be able to absorb a third soul ring that is three thousand to three thousand five hundred years old. If the age is any higher, it may exceed the limits of his body.

In fact, the golden-backed wolf was a very good soul beast, but unfortunately it was too old, over four thousand years old. After much observation, it was estimated that the golden-backed wolf was about four thousand four hundred years old, which was already the fourth soul ring of many soul masters.

However, Yang Ping'an had no intention of letting go of this Golden-backed Wolf King, even if he couldn't absorb its soul ring, its corpse would still be quite valuable.

After making some preparations, Yang Ping'an quietly went to the lair of the Golden-backed Wolf King.

But when they were still three kilometers away, they suddenly heard countless howls of wolves, which looked like a pack of wolves.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an was surprised: Logically speaking, the Golden-backed Wolf King should only have one cub left, and all the other Golden-backed Wolves should have been killed by me. How could there be another pack of wolves?

After much deliberation, Yang Ping'an decided to slowly sneak in and get closer to see what these so-called wolf packs were all about. It would be interesting if he encountered another pack of golden-backed wolves.

However, when Yang Ping'an quietly sneaked in and got closer, the scene made him swallow hard.

As expected of the King of Wolves, the Golden-Backed Wolf King has gathered a group of followers. However, these followers are not Golden-Backed Wolves, but a group of ordinary Black Wind Demon Wolves, whose individual strength is far weaker than that of the Golden-Backed Wolf King.

However, the scene was rather terrifying. In addition to the Golden-backed Wolf and its tiny cubs, there were more than ten Black Wind Demon Wolves, half of which were thousand-year-old soul beasts, and the rest were over five hundred years old.

All the wolves seemed to be attacking a clumsy bear.

But Yang Ping'an was stunned, even drooling a little, his eyes fixed on the clumsy bear.

This clumsy bear was about three meters tall, with muscles all over its body as hard as steel, clearly full of power. In particular, its claws were incredibly sharp, so sharp that even a pack of wolves would avoid them. Moreover, the bear's entire body was covered in dark golden fur.

"This is actually a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear! How could a soul beast of this level appear on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Yang Ping'an felt like he was about to roar in his heart.

It should be noted that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a top-grade soul beast, and its strength even surpasses that of the Titan Giant Ape. For at least several hundred years, no young Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears or Titan Giant Apes have appeared in the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

In particular, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is known as the Earth Ripper. Its attack, defense, and strength are all at the pinnacle of a soul beast. Its dark gold fur and skin have extremely strong defensive capabilities, and its claws are said to be able to tear the earth apart.

A normal Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can basically fight against a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast after it grows to a thousand years old, while a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can fight against a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast after it grows to a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and can even contend with a giant dragon.

Yang Ping'an carefully observed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Its height was about three meters. According to the age of soul beasts, it was probably around three thousand years old. It was the most ideal soul beast that Yang Ping'an had imagined, without exception.

The battle was extremely fierce. Even when surrounded by numerous Black Wind Wolves and joined by the King of Golden-Backed Wolves, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear could not be shaken in the slightest. The huge wolf claws that attacked the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear could only tear off its skin and could not cause any damage.

On the contrary, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's formidable strength and ferocious reversal made it seem extremely terrifying.

A two-thousand-year-old Black Wind Demon Wolf seized an opening and bit the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's left shoulder, but only a few small bloody holes appeared.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear seemed enraged and slammed its paw directly into the Black Wind Wolf's torso. The Black Wind Wolf's body deformed instantly, and it collapsed to the ground, dead beyond any doubt. Judging from its appearance, the bones on the Black Wind Wolf's back should have been completely shattered.

Moreover, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was able to take advantage of this momentary opening to swat a three-thousand-year-old Black Wind Demon Wolf that was charging towards it, directly chopping off the wolf's head, leaving the entire wound as smooth as a mirror.

Seeing this, Yang Ping'an couldn't help but swallow hard, and even felt a chill run down his spine. The attack power of this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was too terrifying. In terms of attack power alone, it had far surpassed his own, and even surpassed ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

In just over ten minutes, the entire wolf pack lost five Black Wind Demon Wolves, which was almost a third of the pack. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, on the other hand, was almost unharmed, with only a few small blood holes and thin scratches on its body. Its combat power was not affected at all.

At this moment, the king of the golden-backed wolves let out a long howl, and all the wolves quickly left the area.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear did not give chase, since it was no match for the wolf pack in terms of speed.

At this moment, it actually gathered up the corpses of the dead Black Wind Demon Wolves and dragged them directly into the original den of the Golden Backed Gray Wolves. After a meal, it even emitted a series of snoring sounds.

Yang Ping'an was speechless. It seemed that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had its eye on the Golden Backed Wolf King's lair. Otherwise, even the Golden Backed Wolf pack might not have dared to attack a soul beast of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear level.

Over the next few days, Yang Ping'an secretly observed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's movements and pondered how he could possibly kill it.

Even after racking his brains, Yang Ping'an still couldn't figure out how to hunt down this soul beast.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is the epitome of a Soul Beast in terms of offense, defense, and strength. It has almost no blind spots on its body. Its only weakness is probably its relatively short legs, which result in lower agility and a certain disadvantage in speed and other aspects.

Even so, once this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear goes berserk, its running speed is absolutely incredible.

It should be noted that even tigers and lions, as spirit beasts, might not dare to easily provoke bear-type spirit beasts in the forest. On the contrary, tiny bees can win by sheer numbers and make bear-type spirit beasts suffer.
