Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

The Bull and Horse Brothers, with their warhammers in their hands, didn't care about that at all.

The moment Brother Ma's warhammer struck the Netherwolf leader's head, its eyes cleared.

Although Lu Yan and the other two could not see its eyes at all, they could imagine them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Yan also controlled the clay to frantically pour into the mouth and nose of the Netherworld Wolf leader.

Suddenly, not only did he feel dizzy and lightheaded, but the leader of the Netherworld Wolves even began to suffocate.

It maintained its last shred of clarity, mobilizing its physical and spiritual strength to try and expel the clay that had flooded its mouth and nose into its trachea and even lungs.

Lu Yan did indeed feel the strong resistance to the clay invasion.

Without external interference, he might not have been able to seal the Nether Wolf's airway and suffocate it to death.

After all, the physique of a soul beast is very strong, while his clay and his own soul power are indeed somewhat weak.

Perhaps in the stalemate and attrition, before the leader of the Netherworld Wolves suffocates to death, Lu Yan's soul power will be unable to withstand it.

Of course, this is under the condition that there is no external influence.

If Lu Yan were to become distracted while manipulating the clay threads, he would be completely unable to move.

This long-cultivated ability to control body shape is no accident.

While maintaining control of the clay, Lu Yan picked up a long stick.

But the next moment, he put down the long stick.

Eighty, forty, eighty, forty...

The two brothers, Ox and Horse, struck their warhammers with a remarkable rhythm.

"That's enough." Looking at the Netherworld Wolf leader who had collapsed, powerless, Lu Yan controlled the clay threads to retract the clay.

He casually twirled the stick.

When the stick-flowering activity ended, two "mud hoops" made of clay appeared at both ends of the long stick.

Perhaps, in the future it should no longer be called a long stick, but rather a "mud hoop stick".

Even without teammates, his "mud hoop" might still be useful.

Who would have thought that the "mud hoops" that looked similar in color to the stick and were clearly "decorated" at both ends of the stick.

Will it turn into clay the moment of attack and smear it on your face?

Hehehe.

A sinister smile crept across Lu Yan's face.

At this moment, the leader of the Netherworld Wolves completely lost consciousness.

"Good! Well done!" Teacher Li, who was closest to Lu Yan and the other two, suddenly exclaimed in praise.

Subsequently, the exclamations of praise from Old Man Su, Teacher Zhou, Wang Dachui, and others grew louder as they approached.

Lu Yan's performance in this battle was truly outstanding, far exceeding their expectations.

They never expected that Lu Yan would be so good at adapting to changing circumstances.

In a very short time, a solution was found!

Chapter 29 The Final Encounter with the Rock Lizard

Having experienced the battle with the leader of the Netherworld Wolves, everyone had an even greater appreciation for Lu Yan's combat abilities.

Lu Yan and the Niu and Ma brothers gradually became familiar with each other.

The two brothers' names are also quite interesting; they are called Bull Shield and Mark.

Of course, Lu Yan referred to them as Brother Niu and Brother Ma respectively.

Brother Niu is a level 18 Soul Master at age 17, and Brother Ma is a level 19 Soul Master at age 18.

Both of them came from commoner backgrounds, and their first spirit rings were both white rings, meaning they didn't receive much training.

With innate level two soul power, reaching the current level is not unusual.

Over the next two days, Lu Yan collaborated with the Niu and Ma brothers to attempt to deal with the hundred-year-old soul beasts twice more.

Of course, in the latter two instances, the three did not manage to kill their opponents; they merely defeated them and then stopped.

After all, collecting soul beast materials was not the main purpose of this trip.

Along the way, Lu Yan has experienced about a dozen or twenty battles with soul beasts, and now he has initially achieved the goal of cultivating his combat ability.

Today is the fourth day since entering the Soul Hunter Forest, which is the seventh day since we set off from Notting City.

The group finally arrived at the inner perimeter of the Soul Hunter Forest.

Because they had taken a detour, the group entered the inner area, which was a rocky slope in the Soul Hunter Forest that was more suitable for earth-type soul beasts.

Just another ten miles or so into the rocky slope, and they would reach their destination: the territory of the Earth Rock Lizard.

"That's a rock beetle, and that's a stone-skinned warty pig..."

As soon as they entered the rocky slope, the number of earth-type soul beasts gradually increased, and Wang Dachui took the time to introduce them to Lu Yan one by one.

However, most of the soul beasts that Wang Dachui introduced were common low-level soul beasts.

Of course, since everyone has now entered the middle level of the Soul Hunting Forest, there are more and more hundred-year-old soul beasts.

However, most of the soul beasts are still one or two hundred years old. You need to go deeper to see soul beasts that are over three hundred years old.

At this moment, the formation of the group, except for the two agility-type Soul Masters who were always scouting ahead, became even tighter.

Now that we've entered the middle level of the Soul Hunter Forest, we can no longer act as freely as we did in the outer areas.

At the same time, a special potion was applied to everyone to conceal their presence; this was a specially made version for earth-type soul beasts.

Basically, as long as they don't deliberately linger in front of soul beasts, most soul beasts will treat them as no different from the surrounding rocks, judging from their aura alone.

Although the group was not afraid of a few soul beasts that were only a hundred or two hundred years old, if they caused too much of a commotion, it would eventually be a problem.

After traveling about ten miles, Wang Dachui suddenly stopped. Two agility-type Soul Masters who had been scouting ahead appeared before them.

One of the two was called "A-Bao" by Wang Dachui, and the other was called "A-Lang".

"Commander, we've found it." Ah Bao first reported to Wang Dachui, and then exclaimed to Lu Yan and the others, "Your intelligence is really accurate. It's about two miles away."

"Good!" Old Su exclaimed softly, and the others also showed joy on their faces.

Now that they've found this target rock lizard, it probably means the Baron and his party are hunting a different one.

After all, they entered the Soul Hunter Forest a day later than the Baron and his party, and then lingered on the outskirts for three more days.

According to the normal itinerary, the Baron and his party should have completed the Soul Hunt long ago, and may even have already left the Soul Hunt Forest.

Choosing between two options and winning on the first try is quite lucky.

It saved us an extra half-day of travel time, which was a pleasant surprise.

Next, Wang Dachui began to make tactical arrangements.

It was impossible for everyone to rush forward at once, and Lu Yan, who was only level 10, and four Soul Masters were even less likely to intervene in the battlefield.

In the end, everyone decided that Wang Dachui and Teacher Zhou would launch a frontal assault, while the two agility-type Soul Masters, A Lang and A Bao, would provide support.

Meanwhile, Old Man Su and Teacher Li were protecting Lu Yan and his group of five from a distance of two or three hundred meters.

Of course, as a great soul master of the agility-type attack, Teacher Li not only protects everyone, but also has arrangements for improvisation.

However, according to everyone's estimation, with Wang Dachui and the other three Great Soul Masters taking action, dealing with the Earth Rock Lizard, which is about three or four hundred years old, should not be a problem.

Even though the Earth Rock Lizard is a rare-level soul beast in the Soul Hunting Forest, its combat power is several times higher than that of soul beasts of the same age.

However, with the detailed intelligence and clear information on weaknesses provided by Lu Daguan, this increased combat power was eliminated.

Led by the two agility-type Soul Masters, the group cautiously approached the location of the Earth Rock Lizard.

After about half an hour, the group stopped at a position two or three hundred meters away from the rock lizard.

A flat area with a diameter of over 100 meters came into view.

This flat area is barren, covered with a thick layer of fine pebbles, which is exactly the environment that the Earth Rock Lizard prefers, according to intelligence reports.

Or rather, the other party will transform their living environment into this way.

Because the rock lizard has a peculiar hobby: it likes to "swim" in layers of small gravel.

"The Earth Rock Lizard should be over there, right?" Lu Yan looked into the distance and guessed. In the distance, he could vaguely see a row of sharp rock spikes protruding from the flat ground.

One of the "spiky" has an amber-colored luster and is relatively easy to observe.

Lu Yan began to recall the information and descriptions about the Earth Rock Lizard.

The earth lizard reaches a length of one meter after a hundred years, and then increases by about one meter for every additional hundred years thereafter.

Its scales are a mix of dark brown and rock gray, and its surface is covered with natural rock patterns, like a moving boulder.

Its back is covered with sharp rock spikes, and its limbs are thick with hooked claws, which can easily scratch the rocks.

Its pupils are dark gold, and it exhales fine stone dust from its mouth and nose when it breathes. Its tail is thick like a stone whip, with irregular rock protrusions at the end.

It has an amber-colored horn on its head, which is an important organ for controlling the power of the earth element and is said to be related to the brain.

This single horn is the hardest part of its body, but it is also one of its weaknesses. If the attack intensity reaches a certain level, it can easily make it dizzy and stiff.

If its horn can be broken, it will be severely damaged.

However, without clear intelligence, most people wouldn't attack the part of the rock lizard that appears to have the strongest defense.

In many cases, the Earth Rock Lizard itself uses its horn as a "weapon" for attack, so even fewer people will dare to confront the Earth Rock Lizard's horn head-on.

Unfortunately, everyone knew its exact weaknesses.

Wang Dachui's martial spirit "Iron Hammer" and Teacher Zhou's martial spirit "Iron Rod" happen to be the type that is suitable for head-on confrontation.

"Now all that's left is to confirm the exact age of the Earth Rock Lizard." Even with the Earth Rock Lizard right in front of him, Wang Dachui was still in no hurry to attack immediately.

Instead, he waved his hand, signaling Ah Lang and Ah Bao to go up and seduce them, so they could see the situation in more detail.

Without hesitation, the two agility-type Soul Masters activated their Wolf and Leopard Martial Souls and quickly rushed towards the location of the Earth Rock Lizard.

The two had only approached within about thirty meters of the rock lizard when the lizard, its entire body buried in rubble with only rock spikes and part of its head protruding, suddenly sprang up.
