Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 57 Thunderous Hell Vine

With Dugu Bo's speed boost as a titled Douluo, the two arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest in just two days.

Having made preparations before setting off, the two did not choose to go to a nearby town to resupply.

Instead, he chose to plunge headlong into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li used his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul to communicate with the nearby Blue Silver Grass, asking it to find a suitable Soul Beast for him.

Upon witnessing this scene once again, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

"This kid's ability is truly freakish. If he didn't have a talent for cultivation, he could easily find a Soul Hunting Group outside and live a life of great wealth and luxury with this ability, right?"

While Dugu Bo was deep in thought about this, Jiang Li, after squatting for a while, looked at Dugu Bo and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

The meaning is clear: there is nothing suitable for them to exist in this area.

Dugu Bo was not too surprised by this.

Because the area they are currently in is a region ranging from thousand-year-old soul beasts to those that have just reached ten thousand-year-old soul beasts.

The reason for deciding to do this was mainly because Dugu Bo had experienced Jiang Li's abilities before.

Furthermore, for the latter's safety, it was natural not to choose to go deeper.

However, if there are no suitable soul beasts for Jiang Li in this area, then the two of them going deeper into the region is inevitable.

After walking for a while, Jiang Li once again communicated with the nearby Blue Silver Grass.

Several bright eyes flashed in their gazes, clearly indicating that they had not been in this place where ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts had gathered for long.

The Blue Silver Grass in this area brought him several decent soul beasts.

Just as Jiang Li was pondering which one to choose.

Upon receiving this unexpected message, Jiang Li's gaze became somewhat strange.

After hesitating for a long time, he looked at Dugu Bo and slowly spoke.

"Master, I have found a creature that is very suitable for me in terms of species, but the location may be a bit remote."

Upon hearing Jiang Li's words, Dugu Bo keenly noticed that Jiang Li had not mentioned the time limit, and then pressed for an answer.

"What about the time limit?"

"Hmm... it's still around ten thousand years old, but due to the species, even twenty-thousand-year-old soul beasts don't dare to approach its habitat."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's gaze was filled with curiosity.

It should be noted that, generally speaking, plant-type soul beasts are considered to be at the lower level in terms of combat power among soul beasts of the same rank.

A plant-type soul beast with a cultivation level of around 10,000 years could keep even a 20,000-year-old soul beast from getting close.

This is something new.

As Dugu Bo's mind raced through a variety of possible soul beasts, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Li and ask him in a somewhat casual tone.

"Oh, then tell me, what kind of spirit beast is this?"

"Thunderous Hell Vine".

The moment the words left his mouth, the casual look in Dugu Bo's eyes vanished.

His expression then turned serious.

The Thunderous Hell Vine is a rare species among plant-type soul beasts.

Unlike other plant-type soul beasts, which are generally known for their vitality or control, this one is different.

Thunderous Hell Vine is known for its terrifying and violent lightning-attribute attack power.

It's important to know that the growth environment for such soul beasts is extremely harsh; they not only need to cultivate in an environment filled with lightning attributes.

Its cultivation process is even more heaven-defying, as it involves tempering the body with heavenly lightning.

It is precisely because of this rigorous training method that the Thunderous Hell Vine is so rare.

This also means that such spirit beasts generally only appear in the public eye for a period of only a thousand years.

However, thanks to this kind of cultivation, the Thunderous Hell Vine, which is only a thousand years old, has already gained strength comparable to a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

As for those at the ten-thousand-year level, they are extremely rare in the history of the entire continent.

If what Jiang Li just said is true, the age limit roughly meets his requirements for the fourth spirit ring.

That means this Thunderous Hell Vine is about 16,000 years old.

A Thunderous Hell Vine of this age already possesses abilities comparable to ordinary soul beasts of 30,000 to 40,000 years, which is equivalent to a Soul Saint among humans.

Furthermore, since the latter controls a violent lightning attribute, it's normal that even 20,000-year-old soul beasts dare not approach it.

At this moment, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

It wasn't because of the latter's cultivation level, since he currently possessed the strength of a level 95 Title Douluo.

Instead, Dugu Bo was worried that the Thunderous Hell Vine might accidentally injure Jiang Li during the battle.

In addition, given the terrifying nature of the Thunderous Hell Vine bloodline, the spirit ring produced by this plant is already comparable in strength to an ordinary spirit ring of twenty or thirty thousand years.

So Dugu Bo couldn't help but look at Jiang Li, just about to dissuade him.

But after meeting Jiang Li's resolute gaze, he could only sigh, for he knew Jiang Li's temper better than anyone.

So Dugu Bo could only look at Jiang Li and ask again, still unwilling to give up.

"Thunderous Hell Vine, you should know how terrifying this kind of soul beast is. Are you sure you've thought this through?"

Faced with Dugu Bo's question, Jiang Li nodded almost without hesitation, and then added his own words.

"Master, it might not work for an ordinary person, but don't forget that my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, which has the characteristic of endless vitality. Combined with my cultivation technique and my current physical strength, I'm confident I can give it a try. Besides, if all else fails, don't you still have me?"

As Jiang Li finished speaking, his eyes were filled with complete trust in Dugu Bo.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo could not say anything more and could only sigh before letting Jiang Li lead the way.

During his journey there, Jiang Li couldn't help but start making plans.

Currently, his martial soul has not only evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, but he has also absorbed a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Jiang Li was confident in his ability to recover.

As for his mental strength, having just absorbed the Autumn Water Dew of Wangchuan, he also had that confidence.

There was no other way; Jiang Li simply didn't want to give up this soul beast, knowing that the Thunderous Hell Vine possessed abilities that he also needed.

Given the latter's rarity, Jiang Li, despite knowing that absorbing this spirit ring would likely involve considerable risk, was still unwilling to give it up.

As they were thinking this, the two arrived at the edge of a valley.

Thunder rumbled and flashed within the valley.

Even though the two were just outside the valley, they were still startled when they saw the dazzling lightning.

Looking into the depths of the valley, above the very center of the valley, there is a black cloud that never dissipates, occasionally flashing with arcs of lightning like silver snakes. The rocks below are covered in a charred black color from years of weathering.

Looking around, a dark purple vine was coiled around a stone pillar in the very center, surrounded by lightning.

These dark purple vines were none other than the Thunderous Hell Vine.

It's not that difficult to discern the cultivation level of the Thunderous Hell Vine; one only needs to look at the lightning marks at the base of its vines.

Generally speaking, the lightning mark on this site will increase by one inch every five hundred years.

The Thunderous Hell Vine in this valley had lightning marks at its base that were three feet and four inches long, which made Dugu Bo's expression turn ugly.

Clearly, the Thunderous Hell Vine in front of him was not only exceptional in its variety, but also exceeded Jiang Li's limit in terms of age.

Just as Dugu Bo was about to persuade Jiang Li to give up, the Thunderous Yama Vine in the valley seemed to have sensed their presence.

The next instant, it erupted violently, lightning swirling wildly, spreading densely in all directions, unleashing a terrifying thunderstorm that rushed towards the two people outside the valley…
