Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 85, The Third Day of Imperial Guard

Meng Bei, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Liu Erlong, and two protectors from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The group traversed the Sunset Forest together, searching for suitable soul beasts.

Dai Mubai's mind was already wandering, and he couldn't help but want to quickly finish hunting for the spirit rings and then go back.

The reason was that he was eager to wait for Tang San, and then try to trade with Tang San for one or two precious herbs to take.

Dai Mubai had specifically mentioned this herb to Meng Bei, asking if Meng Bei wanted to get the herb from Tang San.

After all, when Meng Bei agreed to Tang San's request, he didn't know that the herb had such powerful effects. In fact, it could be said that Tang San deceived Meng Bei.

However, Meng Bei's answer to Dai Mubai's question was: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Since I've promised, I can't take it back."

To be honest, Dai Mubai was a little envious of Tang San.

I can't believe I met such a wonderful younger brother as Meng Bei.

That's a whole hundred plants!

Meng Bei actually let Tang San take it away.

Dai Mubai couldn't help but think that it would be great if he could switch places with Tang San. Unfortunately, his Zhu Qing was not Xiao Wu and had no family relationship with Meng Bei.

Hey~

Dai Mubai shook his head slightly.

As the group searched around, Liu Erlong, who was searching from the sky, suddenly noticed the situation.

"Xiao Bei, let's go upstream on the river over there!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Bei led the group toward the location Liu Erlong had indicated.

The group arrived at the upper reaches of a river.

The water was flowing rapidly at that moment.

On a platform on the upstream bank, a pink hippopotamus was lying on it.

This is a pink hippopotamus spirit beast, about three or four meters long, which looks quite large.

Although this soul beast looked very large, it had a very kind appearance. It was rather dull and silly, with short ears and limbs, no claws, and its eyes were narrowed as it looked at Meng Bei and his group. Even when Meng Bei and the others walked up to it, it did not react at all.

"It's a Slowbro!"

Ning Rongrong recognized him at a glance.

The Silly River Beast is an amphibious soul beast. Although it looks cute and silly, it is actually very powerful.

Among soul beasts of equal cultivation level, the Silly River Beast's attack power is five times that of an ordinary soul beast, and its defense power is ten times that of an ordinary soul beast. If it only relies on these two abilities, the Silly River Beast can even fight against a soul beast that is ten thousand years old with its thousand-year cultivation.

However, every advantage has its disadvantages.

If the Silent Beast had no weaknesses, it would have been invincible among the Soul Beasts long ago.

In fact, the Silent River Beast is very slow, and its reaction ability is 200 times weaker than that of ordinary Soul Beasts, which is its most fatal flaw.

Therefore, the reason why the Silent River Beast in front of them did not attack Meng Bei and the others was not because it was docile, but because it had not yet reacted.

Because of its slow reaction speed, Slowpoke cannot catch its prey itself. So, in its daily life, Slowpoke uses its harmless appearance to lure enemies.

At this moment, it lies foolishly on the riverbank, actually luring its prey in the water.

His defense is ridiculously high among those of the same level. Once a soul beast is deceived by his harmless appearance, it's all over. Unless its cultivation level is much higher than that of the Silly River Beast, it will be unable to break through the Silly River Beast's defense.

Once the Slowpoke realizes what's happening and launches a counterattack, its powerful attack will kill its opponent in one blow.

Upon seeing the Silent River Beast, Meng Bei knew that Rongrong had obtained her soul ring.

This dazed river beast is only a little over a thousand years old, which is perfect for a third spirit ring. Moreover, its powerful defensive capabilities can provide Rongrong with an auxiliary spirit skill that amplifies her defense.

"Rongrong, I'll take care of it for you right away!"

As he spoke, Meng Bei raised his fist and stepped forward.

However, Ning Rongrong stepped forward to stop Meng Beidao:

"Xiao Bei, the Slowpoke is so cute, let's not hunt it, okay?"

"Oh?"

Meng Bei smiled and lifted Ning Rongrong's chin, saying:

"Rongrong, you're so cute! I don't want to eat you tonight. How about I go to Yan'er's room instead?"

"No!"

Ning Rongrong pouted instantly and refused:

"What was agreed upon before is mine, and that can't be changed."

"What about this stoic beast?"

Meng Bei asked.

Ning Rongrong changed her previous statement and said:

"The Silly Beast is so cute, it's perfect to be my third spirit ring."

Meng Bei burst into laughter after hearing this.

Pointing at Ning Rongrong, he said helplessly, "You, you, you're such a little glutton! Do you really want me to devour you?"

Ning Rongrong was greatly embarrassed by Meng Bei's words.

The small fist punched Meng Bei in the chest.

Meng Bei hugged her and kissed her a few times, making Ning Rongrong feel both shy and satisfied in front of everyone.

Everyone who witnessed this scene felt uncomfortable, as if they had been forced to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Only Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing to the side, had a slightly flushed face.

Because Meng Bei had previously mentioned "little glutton," Zhu Zhuqing felt that Meng Bei was alluding to her.

Suddenly, with a "poof," the Stunning River Beast in front spat out a condensed water arrow.

After so much time, the dazed soul beast finally realized that prey had appeared before its eyes.

"White Tiger's Blazing Light Wave!"

Dai Mubai let out a tiger's roar and spat out a milky white ball of light, which hit the condensed water arrow of the Stunning River Beast.

The next moment, the milky white orb was instantly shattered by the condensed water arrow, and flew towards Meng Bei's chest with undiminished momentum.

Dai Mubai quickly reminded him:

"Be careful, Xiao Bei! This soul beast's attack power is incredibly strong!"

Meng Bei chuckled and reached out to grab the ice arrow the other party had spat out, shattering it in one go.

Although his soul power cultivation was not high at this time, his combat strength was at the level of a titled Douluo. Despite the fact that the Silent River Beast's attack ability was very strong, it was still powerless to resist in the face of absolute strength.

Meng Bei stepped forward, raised his fist, and a dense power of ice and snow gathered on his fist.

He threw a punch, which landed squarely on the back of the Slowpoke.

With a muffled thud, a clear fist mark appeared on the back of the Slowpoke.

The next moment, a powerful force of ice and snow swept over the entire body of the Slowpoke, causing its limbs to go limp and it to collapse to the ground.

Blood mixed with ice crystals flowed from its mouth, clearly indicating that it was not far from death.

However, because Meng Bei intentionally controlled his strength, the Slowbro was able to hold on for a while.

"Rongrong, come on!"

Meng Bei beckoned, and Ning Rongrong went up, took out a short sword from her soul tool, and pointed it at the eyes of the Stunning River Beast.

One attempt failed to penetrate.

Ning Rongrong looked over curiously and saw that it was the squinting eyelids of the Silly River Beast that blocked the sword blade. The sharp sword could not even cut through the Silly River Beast's eyelids.

Seeing this, Meng Bei grabbed Ning Rongrong's small hand holding the sword, and with a strong pull, the short sword pierced the eyes of the Stunning River Beast and went straight into its brain.

The Slowbro completely collapsed.

A purple spirit ring slowly rose up.

Because of its extremely weak reaction ability, Slowbro never experienced pain until its death.
