Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 111 The Trampling Habits of the Azure Saint Unicorn

The carriage was pulled by three five-hundred-year-old swift horses, and in less than a month, they arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Grandpa, let's find a suitable soul beast for Zhuqing first, and then we can slowly find a suitable soul ring for Lingling."

Dugu Bo said indulgently, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

The group traversed the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. Dugu Bo used his spiritual power to probe their surroundings, taking in the auras of all the spirit beasts.

"Kid, don't slack off in the rear. Help me scout around and try to find some traces of life-attribute soul beasts when we find a Shadow Demon Tiger."

"it is good."

Ji Wuming immediately jumped onto a nearby large tree, and his powerful spiritual energy rapidly spread outwards. With the assistance of the Thunder Dragon Fish Crown on his head, his spiritual energy detection range doubled again.

A dark purple Shadow Tiger, four meters long, was resting curled up on a rock a mile away.

"Zhu Qing, a Dark Night Tiger, about 1700 years old, has been spotted about a mile ahead. It's perfect to be your third soul ring."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were also happy for Zhu Zhuqing's good luck today. They didn't expect that they would encounter their first target so soon after arriving in the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, because the Dark Night Tiger is of the dark attribute, its senses are extremely sharp. It raised its head and stared directly in the direction of Ji Wuming.

"roar--"

With a tiger's roar, the mountain rocks trembled.

"Boom boom boom—"

Dull footsteps sounded, and a tiger-like soul beast, eight meters long and twice the size of a thousand-year-old Dark Night Demon Tiger, appeared. Its tail also had some white stripes.

"That Dark Night Demon Tiger is just a cub. The true leader here should be the larger Dark Night Demon Tiger, which has at least 5 years of cultivation."

Although the 5-year-old Dark Night Tiger could be easily destroyed by Dugu Bo with one hand at this moment, this tiger has a strongest skill: not only is it fast-moving, but its body can also hide in the darkness like gas, making it extremely difficult to catch.

Just as Dugu Bo was about to make his move and kill the Dark Night Tiger cub in the shortest time, the two Dark Night Tigers and the surrounding soul beasts all retreated in all directions.

A unicorn, its body a translucent, emerald-green color, stood tall and walked proudly towards the top of the boulder.

A pair of emerald green wings, each a meter long, slowly unfurled, stretching its sacred body and accepting the respect of all the soul beasts within the Dark Night Demon Tiger's territory.

"Holy crap, this... this is a Azure Saint Unicorn, a naturally healing soul beast. But how could it possibly be alone in this outermost area?"

At this moment, Dugu Bo and Ji Wuming, who had seen the Azure Saint Unicorn together, were extremely puzzled. Healing-type soul beasts like this were priceless treasures in the soul beast world, just like healing-type soul masters in the human world; their importance was self-evident.

Healing-type spirit beasts like these, even when roaming the Star Dou Great Forest, would usually be accompanied by one or two extremely powerful spirit beast bodyguards. But what they saw now was that, let alone spirit beast bodyguards, they didn't even see a shadow of a powerful spirit beast.

Upon receiving this news, Ye Wuyi below was extremely excited and quickly explained,

"Your Majesty, young Ji, according to the detailed records of this soul beast in my family, there is only one situation in which this Azure Saint Unicorn will not be protected by a powerful soul beast, and that is during their mating season."

"Huh? Such a bizarre habit?"

Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Ji Wuming, and Dugu Bo were even more puzzled by this, while Ye Wuyi immediately offered an explanation.

"That's right, that's the nature of this kind of soul beast. And there's something even stranger and more secretive: after mating, the male Azure Saint Unicorn will willingly be trampled to death by the female. What's even stranger is that the dead male Azure Saint Unicorn will directly turn into a strange energy that is absorbed by the female."

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuming was completely stunned. Why did this horse-like soul beast's reproduction method resemble that of a praying mantis? No wonder it sent away the powerful soul beast bodyguard; now I understand!

"Your Majesty, according to your description, this Azure Saint Unicorn should still be waiting for its mate to arrive."

As soon as Ye Wuyi uttered these words, a much larger and more robust Azure Saint Unicorn burst into the Dark Night Demon Tiger's territory, looking up at another Azure Saint Unicorn standing atop the giant rock.

"Whoa—"

With a resounding hoofbeat, the massive Azure Saint Unicorn spread its wings and began to dance a courtship dance on the spot.

The unique green energy fluctuations emanating from her dance made the surrounding spirit beasts feel extremely comfortable, and the flowers and plants grew rapidly at a visible pace.

Especially for those soul beasts with internal injuries or bite wounds, their wounds are healing rapidly.

As the dance came to a halt, the female Azure Saint Unicorn above let out a soft hiss. The male Azure Saint Unicorn below immediately flapped its wings, flew to the female's side, and nuzzled her neck. Then, the two beasts flew together towards a little-known place.

"Young Ji, you stay here and protect your Aunt Ye and the others. As long as they don't attack the Dark Night Demon Tiger, they'll be fine thanks to the protection of my poisonous mist. I'll go track those two Azure Saint Unicorns first. The female one is perfect for Lingling."

The latest novel is first published here!

"Grandpa, let's try to do both at the same time and help Zhuqing and Lingling obtain their soul rings in the shortest possible time. Let us hunt down those two Azure Saint Unicorns."

Before Dugu Bo could speak, Ji Wuming leaped into the air like a bird, startling everyone, including Dugu Bo.

"Could this be the soul bone skill that his Sea Spear master made him absorb? It can fly, and its speed is no less than that of a thousand-year-old Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent. This is simply too outrageous."

"Grandpa, Brother Ji has already flown far away. You should hurry and chase after him. If something happens to him, then..."

Seeing Dugu Yan's anxious expression, Dugu Bo calmly shook his head.

"No need. According to that kid's plan, those two Azure Saint Unicorns are already his. Even if he encounters danger, given his current speed, he can escape unharmed."

"I'd better hurry and hunt down the Dark Night Tiger in the distance for Zhu Qing!"

At this moment, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance, looking in the direction Ji Wuming had gone, and said together,

"Nausea."

Ji Wuming sped up, deliberately concealing his presence, and followed behind the two Azure Saint Unicorns. They stopped outside a natural cave formed by a cliff face and walked closely together into the dim cave.
