Chapter 369 Stubborn guy!
"Who are you? Why do you want to save me?"
Lu Yu asked with difficulty.
"My name is Xiao Wu, and I'm your friend."
The girl smiled and said,
"I can't watch you die.
I want to protect you!"
After saying this, Xiao Wu turned and rushed towards the black-robed old man, starting a fierce battle with her.
Lu Yu lay on the ground, watching Xiao Wu fighting with the old man in black robe, feeling moved and guilty.
Lu Yu suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.
He felt his right arm go numb and he involuntarily took three steps back.
The opponent's strength was far beyond any soul beast he had encountered before! He thought to himself that this soul beast must have cultivated for a thousand years, or even more than two thousand years! However, when Lu Yu saw the appearance of the soul beast clearly, his face was instantly filled with shock, and his previous speculation was completely overturned.
"No! This is definitely not a thousand-year-old soul beast!"
Lu Yu exclaimed inwardly.
With the powerful bloodline of this soul beast, if it cultivates for a thousand years, its strength can definitely be comparable to that of an ordinary ten thousand year soul beast.
If I had been careless with that attack just now, not only would my right arm be crippled, but I might even lose my life.
This soul beast is not big in size, only about 15 feet long, but its head is abnormally large, which seems extremely disproportionate to its body.
Its head resembles a lion, while its body is more like a hyena. On its huge head, there is even a creepy ghost face.
It is called a ghost face, but in fact it is more like a shape drawn by hair, which is extremely strange.
Its entire body is covered with golden hair, except for its head which is black. This black and white color combination makes it particularly eye-catching among many soul beasts.
"What kind of soul beast is this?"
There was a fiery light flashing in Lu Yu's eyes, and he even swallowed unconsciously, as if he had seen a rare treasure.
"Roar!!"
Just as Lu Yu was observing the soul beast carefully, it suddenly let out a deafening roar.
Immediately afterwards, a circle of golden light appeared under its feet, and a golden ring with a diameter of about two meters quickly spread out in all directions with it as the center.
In the golden ring, black runes are constantly flashing, appearing particularly mysterious.
"It really is it!"
There was excitement in Lu Yu's eyes, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the golden light all over his body began to flash violently.
He rushed forward and decided to take the initiative!
Although Lu Yu did not have a deep understanding of soul beasts, this soul beast was quite famous in the forum he visited in his previous life.
The main reason is that its appearance features are too obvious and can be recognized at a glance.
"Hehe, it seems that I am lucky today. I can actually encounter such a rare soul beast."
While Lu Yu was secretly proud of himself, he quickly adjusted his state and prepared for the battle.
The soul beast seemed to have sensed Lu Yu's hostility. It let out another deafening roar, then leaped forward suddenly, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced towards Lu Yu.
Lu Yu flashed and easily avoided the soul beast's attack.
He secretly thanked his luck in his heart that he reacted quickly enough, otherwise he would have been seriously injured by this attack.
"Humph, you want to catch me? That's not that easy!"
Lu Yu snorted coldly, then quickly adjusted his attack strategy.
He began to use his flexible body to constantly move around the soul beast, looking for the best time to attack.
The soul beast was obviously also angered by Lu Yu's agility. It kept roaring, trying to suppress Lu Yu with its own power.
However, no matter how hard it tried, it could not find Lu Yu's weakness.
"It seems that the intelligence of this soul beast is not very high."
Lu Yu secretly mocked himself in his heart.
I can't keep dodging passively like this. I must find an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the soul beast.
He began to gradually slow down his pace and deliberately revealed some flaws.
The soul beast was fooled as expected. It leaped forward suddenly, trying to find Lu Yu's weakness.
However, just as it was about to pounce on Lu Yu, Lu Yu suddenly dodged its attack.
At the same time, Lu Yu quickly took action and punched the soul beast hard on the back.
The soul beast let out a scream and its body involuntarily fell forward.
Lu Yu took the opportunity to catch up and kicked the soul beast on the head, making it dizzy.
"Haha, let's see where you can run to!"
Lu Yu laughed loudly, then quickly unfolded his soul ring, ready to take the soul beast into his possession.
However, at this moment, the soul beast suddenly let out a shrill scream.
Its body began to tremble violently, then gradually became transparent, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the air.
"What...what's going on?"
Lu Yu widened his eyes, feeling confused and puzzled.
He had clearly gained the upper hand, so why did the soul beast suddenly disappear?
At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded in Lu Yu's ears:
"Boy, do you know how big an opportunity you have missed?"
Lu Yu turned his head suddenly and saw an old man in a gray robe standing not far away with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Senior, what do you mean?"
Lu Yu asked with a bow.
The old man smiled slightly, then said slowly:
"That soul beast is not an ordinary soul beast, but the legendary 'Ghost Face Golden Lion'.
Its bloodline is extremely powerful. If you can subdue it as a spirit ring, your strength will be greatly enhanced.
However, you missed this opportunity.”
Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
He really didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous soul beast would have such powerful bloodline and potential.
"Senior, do you think I still have a chance to make amends now?"
Lu Yu asked anxiously.
The old man shook his head and said:
“The ghost-faced golden lion has disappeared, and you can’t find it anymore.
However, don't be discouraged.
There are many other opportunities waiting for you to discover.
As long as you keep working hard, you will find a spirit ring that suits you one day."
When Lu Yu heard this, he felt a little disappointed, but he also understood that what the old man said made sense.
He nodded, then cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, senior, for your guidance."
The old man smiled slightly, and then said:
"You are welcome.
I see that you have amazing talents and will become a great person in the future.
However, you must also remember that the path of cultivation is difficult and dangerous.
You must always be vigilant and constantly improve your own strength in order to gain a foothold."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu felt grateful and respectful.
He cupped his hands again and said:
"The teachings of the elders are kept in mind by the younger generation."
The old man nodded with satisfaction, then his figure flashed and disappeared into the air.
Lu Yu stood there, silently thinking about the old man's words.
If you want to gain a foothold in a world where the strong are respected, you must continue to work hard and improve your strength.
He picked himself up and continued looking for a spirit ring that suited him.
Lu Yu's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Senior, what is this 'ghost-faced golden-haired lion' you just mentioned? How come I have never heard of it?"
The old man smiled slightly, and said with a hint of mystery in his eyes: "Boy, this 'ghost-faced golden-haired lion' is a legendary soul beast, extremely rare.
Its bloodline is extremely powerful. If you can subdue it as a spirit ring, your strength will be greatly enhanced.
However, this kind of soul beast usually lives in extremely dangerous places, so it is not easy to find it. "
Lu Yu said with a fiery light in his eyes: "Senior, do you think I still have a chance to find it now?"
The old man shook his head and said with a hint of regret in his tone: “Alas, you have missed it.
The ghost-faced golden lion has disappeared and you can never find it again.
However, don't be discouraged.
There are many other opportunities waiting for you to discover.”
Lu Yu clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination as he said, "Senior, I will continue to work hard to cultivate and find a spirit ring that suits me!"
The old man nodded with satisfaction and said, “Well, very good.
The path of cultivation is difficult and dangerous, but as long as you remain steadfast and perseverant, you will be able to go further.”
Lu Yu walked in the dense forest and said to himself, "Alas, it seems that I really missed that opportunity.
However, my predecessor is right, I cannot lose heart.
I will continue to work hard to cultivate and find other spirit rings that suit me."
Suddenly, a ferocious soul beast jumped out from the bushes and pounced on Lu Yu.
Lu Yu dodged the soul beast's attack with a flash of his body, and said, "Humph, you want to catch me? That's not that easy!"
Lu Yu quickly unfolded his soul ring and started a fierce battle with the soul beast.
After a fierce battle, Lu Yu defeated the soul beast
Lu Yu panted heavily, looked at the soul beast lying on the ground and said: "Humph, you want to catch me with your strength? What a joke!"
When Lu Yu was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice
A mysterious voice sounded in Lu Yu's ear and said, "Boy, although you defeated this soul beast, your strength still needs to be improved.
If you can find a more powerful spirit ring, your strength will take a qualitative leap forward."
Lu Yu's heart moved, he turned around and looked around and said, "Who is it? Who is talking?
However, there was silence all around, no sign of anyone.
Lu Yu said to himself: "Did I hear it wrong? Never mind.
I will continue to work hard to cultivate and find a more powerful spirit ring!"
Lu Yu stood in front of the towering mountain, looked up and said: "This mountain is so high, there must be a powerful soul beast on it.
I want to go up and take a look!
At this moment, a huge soul beast came out from the other side of the mountain.
Lu Yu's eyes widened, and he said in shock: "This... is this the legendary 'dragon'? It must be very powerful!
The dragon let out a deafening roar and said, "Boy, who are you? How dare you trespass into my territory!
Lu Yu took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Senior, I am here to find the spirit ring.
I know you are very powerful, but I don't want to be your enemy.
I just hope you can give me a chance to..."
……
On a sunny afternoon, Lu Yu stepped into this legendary soul-hunting forest.
This is the holy land that soul masters dream of, because here, there is a chance to capture powerful soul beasts and thus improve their own strength.
In the forest, the trees are towering, the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of grass and trees.
Lu Yu carefully shuttled through the woods, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, always alert to the movements around him.
Just then, a low roar broke the silence of the forest.
Lu Yu's heart tightened and he immediately followed the sound.
He pushed aside the bushes and the view in front of him suddenly became clear. He saw a small but aggressive soul beast standing not far ahead.
The body of this soul beast is covered with golden hair, shining brightly in the sun.
It has a huge head, and its black hair forms a sharp contrast with its golden body, making it particularly eye-catching.
What is even more surprising is that this soul beast has a pair of grimace-like patterns on its face, making it look both mysterious and majestic.
"Is this... a blond lion mastiff?"
Lu Yu exclaimed inwardly.
He had read about the Golden-haired Lion Mastiff in ancient books and knew that this was an extremely rare soul beast. Not only did it have noble blood and extraordinary talents, but it was also born with its own domain and was extremely powerful.
However, the golden-haired lion mastiff in front of him seemed to be still in its infancy and its body had not yet fully grown. But even so, the aura it exuded was enough to make Lu Yu feel palpitations.
"It seems that I have good luck today."
A smile appeared on Lu Yu's lips, and he was secretly thinking about how to capture this golden-haired lion mastiff.
Once he succeeds in capturing this golden-haired lion mastiff, he will obtain an extremely powerful spirit ring, and his strength will surely increase by leaps and bounds.
However, just as Lu Yu was about to make a move, the golden-haired lion mastiff suddenly let out a loud roar.
Its eyes were fixed on Lu Yu, with a fighting look flashing in them.
Obviously, the golden-haired lion mastiff had sensed Lu Yu's hostility and was ready to fight.
"Humph, since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being rude."
Lu Yu snorted coldly, and with a flash of his body, he pounced towards the golden-haired lion mastiff.
At an extremely fast speed, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky and instantly arrived in front of the blond lion mastiff.
The golden-haired lion mastiff was not to be outdone. It suddenly leaped up, opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Lu Yu.
Lu Yu turned his body to the side and easily avoided the attack of the golden-haired lion mastiff.
At the same time, with a wave of his right hand, a lightsaber condensed from soul power instantly appeared in his hand.
He swung his sword, and the sword light slashed towards the golden-haired lion mastiff like a streak of light.
The golden-haired lion mastiff was agile and dodged Lu Yu's sword with a roll.
However, Lu Yu's attack did not stop. He moved his body, and the lightsaber drew brilliant tracks in the air, launching a fierce attack on the blond lion mastiff.
Although the golden-haired lion mastiff was ferocious, it gradually seemed unable to withstand Lu Yu's attack.
There were several deep wounds on its body caused by the lightsaber, and its golden hair was stained with bright red blood.
However, the golden-haired lion mastiff seemed unaware of the pain and continued to roar as it rushed towards Lu Yu.
"Humph, you stubborn fellow."
Lu Yu snorted coldly and swung the lightsaber in his hand again. This time, he aimed directly at the vital parts of the blond lion mastiff.
With a flash of sword light, the body of the golden-haired lion mastiff was split in two, and blood splattered everywhere.
Looking at the golden-haired lion mastiff lying on the ground, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he succeeded in capturing this golden-haired lion mastiff, he also paid a considerable price.
