Chapter 551 The scarred team!
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Oscar and Wang Sheng beside him all nodded without objection.
The Star Forest is full of dangers, but they have absolute trust in Lu Yu's judgment.
The team continued to move forward at a steady and cautious pace.
The air in the Star Forest was filled with the scent of moist earth mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees. The surrounding trees were tall and towering, with branches and leaves intertwined, almost blocking out the light above.
Lu Yu walked in front, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, always scanning the surrounding movements.
After walking about a hundred feet, when he was about to stop and discuss with everyone whether to go deeper, an inexplicable dangerous aura surged like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire team.
Lu Yu's pupils shrank slightly and his body instinctively tensed up.
"careful!"
He let out a low roar, and before he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force. A thunderous roar suddenly exploded, causing pain in everyone's eardrums.
Then, the surrounding trees collapsed as if swept by a strong wind, wood chips flew everywhere, and the ground shook violently.
An oval-shaped open area formed in the blink of an eye. Amidst the flying dust, a huge soul beast fell from the sky and landed heavily on the ground, stirring up a wave of dust.
"Thunder Beast!"
Wang Sheng blurted out with a hint of fear in his voice.
His second spirit ring came from the Leiyin Beast, and he was very familiar with the characteristics of this spirit beast.
At this moment, he stared at the soul beast with shock in his eyes.
The Leiyin beast in front of him was much larger than usual, more than three meters tall, its entire body covered with blue-gray scales that flashed with electric light, its limbs were thick and powerful, its claws were deeply embedded in the ground, and it exuded a terrifying aura of oppression.
Its eyes were red, revealing cruelty and murderous intent, and it growled with thunder-like sound, shaking the surrounding air.
Lu Yu's expression became solemn, his eyes were fixed on the Leiyin Beast, and his mind was working rapidly.
He raised his hand, a faint light appeared on his palm, and the identification technique was quietly activated.
In an instant, the information of Leiyin Beast appeared clearly in his mind: its name was Leiyin Beast, it was a 15,000-year-old soul beast, its skills included thunder sound, lightning strike, and collision, and its current state was attack.
Fifteen thousand years! Lu Yu frowned. The strength of this Thunder Sound Beast was comparable to that of a Soul Sect peak, even close to a Soul King, far exceeding their team's ability to cope with it.
Especially the two skills of Thunder Sound and Lightning Strike, which have a wide attack range and amazing destructive power. If you are not careful in dealing with them, there is a high possibility that the whole army will be wiped out.
"Ready to fight!"
Lu Yu's voice was low and decisive, with unquestionable majesty.
He quickly glanced at everyone and calmly gave orders: "I, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing will be the main attackers, Ning Rongrong and Oscar will be the back guards, and Wang Sheng will assist.
Keep the formation and don't disperse!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately entered combat mode, with a hint of nervousness flashing in their eyes, but more of it was trust in Lu Yu.
This battle is by no means simple. The terror of a ten thousand year soul beast is far beyond the capability of an ordinary soul master to contend with.
Everyone released their martial spirits at the same time, and the light of their spirit rings shone brightly in the dark forest, illuminating the surrounding open space.
Lu Yu stood at the front, and a towering figure appeared behind him—Zeus, the king of gods! The figure was tall and majestic, wearing a thunder crown, holding a lightning scepter, and surrounded by dazzling thunder light.
Lightning moved across the surface of his body, making crackling sounds, and the air was filled with a domineering and terrifying aura.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing stood beside him. It was the first time they saw Lu Yu display the Zeus Martial Spirit, and a hint of shock flashed in their eyes.
Lu Yu’s aura was so strong that it seemed as if the entire area was controlled by his thunder power.
Ning Rongrong stood behind, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower suspended in front of her, emitting a soft and bright light.
She took a deep breath, quickly formed seals with her hands, and shouted: "Qibao has a day, power!"
"Qibao has a day, hurry!"
"Qibao has a day, soul!"
Three soul skills were released in succession, and colorful light flowed into everyone's body like a trickle.
In an instant, Lu Yu and others felt that their strength, speed and soul power had been significantly improved, and their bodies seemed to be filled with endless vitality.
Oscar quickly made some recovery sausages and distributed them to everyone, while Wang Sheng took out a bottle of status-enhancing potion from his soul guide and handed it to everyone.
As the medicine enters the mouth, the slightly bitter taste melts on the tip of the tongue, and then turns into a warm current, flowing to every part of the body.
The battle is about to break out.
Lu Yu's eyes were like knives, and he shouted in a low voice: "Kill!"
He rushed towards the Leiyin Beast first. His body was as fast as lightning. The dagger in his hand flashed with cold light and went straight for the throat of the Leiyin Beast.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing followed closely behind. Xiao Wu's figure was as agile as the wind, and Zhu Zhuqing was as swift as a ghost. The three of them attacked the vital points of the Leiyin Beast from different directions.
The Thunder Sound Beast roared angrily, and its huge body shook violently. The Thunder Sound skill was activated, and the terrifying sound waves spread out like ripples. The ground around it was cracked and dust was flying.
Zhu Zhuqing was the first to be hit. Her body suddenly froze under the impact of the sound waves, her ears buzzed, and she became deaf instantly.
Before she could react, Leiyinmon's lightning skill was activated immediately. A thick bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit her accurately.
Zhu Zhuqing felt her whole body paralyzed and there was a sharp pain in her abdomen. She flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground, creating a deep pit and filling the air with dust.
There was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth and her face was pale, obviously she was seriously injured.
"Xiao Wu, retreat!"
Lu Yu shouted, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes.
Xiao Wu was about to launch an attack, but was locked by the claws of Leiyin Beast. The sharp claw wind tore through the air, bringing with it the breath of death.
At the critical moment, Lu Yu rushed forward, grabbed Xiao Wu's waist and pulled her away forcefully.
The wind from the claws brushed against Xiao Wu's hair, bringing up a few strands of broken hair, which was extremely dangerous.
Lu Yu gritted his teeth, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in a low voice: "Soul skill, Thunderbolt!"
The shadow of Zeus behind him suddenly raised his scepter, and a terrifying thunder fell from the sky, with the power to destroy the world, and hit the back of Leiyin Beast hard.
Thunder exploded, the Leiyin Beast let out a painful roar, its huge body trembled slightly, and the sonic attack filled with thunder finally paused for a moment.
"Little dance!"
Lu Yu took the opportunity to shout.
Xiao Wu's eyes flashed with determination, and she shouted in a low voice: "Soul Skill, Speed Kill!"
Her figure instantly turned into a residual shadow, and the shadow of a nimble fox appeared behind her, moving so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.
The dagger flashed with a cold light and pierced straight into the eyes of the Leiyin Beast.
However, Leiyin Beast reacted extremely quickly, raising its huge claws suddenly and grabbing towards Xiaowu's figure.
Lu Yu's pupils shrank, and he activated another soul skill without hesitation: "Soul skill, seal fate!"
In an instant, an invisible force enveloped the Leiyin Beast. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the Leiyin Beast's movements were frozen for one second.
Xiao Wu seized this brief opportunity and stabbed the dagger accurately into the throat of the Leiyin Beast, causing blood to gushed out.
However, this attack was not fatal. The Leiyin Beast had extremely strong vitality, and its angry roar shook the earth. The air around it was shrouded in thunder, with flashes of lightning and murderous intent everywhere.
Oscar and Wang Sheng in the back were caught off guard and were affected by the sonic attack of the Thunder Sound Beast. Their bodies were hit hard, blood spurted out, and they fell to the ground, losing most of their combat effectiveness.
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and continuously released her soul skills to enhance the status of everyone, but her soul power was also rapidly consumed and her face became paler and paler.
Lu Yu and Xiao Wu's situation became increasingly critical.
Xiao Wu's soul power was almost exhausted, and she could only rely on her agility to avoid the attacks of the Leiyin Beast, while Lu Yu alone bore the pressure of the main battlefield.
His dagger scratched the scales of the Leiyin beast again and again, but could only leave shallow scars.
The defense of Leiyinmon is too strong, and ordinary attacks cannot cause fatal damage to it.
"We can't delay it any longer!"
A look of determination flashed across Lu Yu's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Soul Skill, Forbidden Magic Field!"
The shadow of Zeus behind him instantly switched and transformed into the figure of the fallen angel Lucifer.
A dark red light emanated from his body, and the light around him suddenly dimmed, and a strange and terrifying aura enveloped the entire place.
The Forbidden Magic Field was activated, the soul power skills of the Thunder Sound Beast were forcibly suppressed, and the light of the Thunder Field quickly dissipated.
Then, Lu Yu shouted again: "Soul Skill, Power of Corruption!"
Lucifer's shadow raised the dark red spear, and terrifying power was infused into Lu Yu's dagger.
He rushed towards Leiyinmon, and the dagger cut through the air and pierced Leiyinmon's wound accurately.
The Leiyin beast let out a painful roar, its scales were torn and blood gushed out.
However, its counterattack was equally swift, and its sharp claws scratched Lu Yu's chest, tearing off a piece of flesh.
Lu Yu groaned, staggered back, blood staining his clothes red, his brows furrowed, the severe pain made his consciousness slightly blurred.
Just as the Thunder Sound Beast was about to pounce on Lu Yu and deliver a fatal blow, Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, gathered her last remaining soul power, and shouted in a low voice: "Soul Skill, Speed Kill!"
Her figure flashed by like a meteor, and the dagger, with a hint of cold light, accurately pierced into the throat of the Thunder Sound Beast.
This time, she used all her strength and the dagger went straight through the throat of the Thunder Sound Beast, causing blood to spurt out like a fountain.
The roar of Leiyin Beast came to an abrupt end, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.
Xiao Wu staggered to the ground, her face as pale as paper, and her soul power was overdrawn so that she could hardly stand.
She gritted her teeth and forced herself to help Lu Yu up, her eyes full of worry.
Lu Yu covered the wound on his chest and looked around with a serious look. After confirming that the Leiyin Beast was completely dead, he let out a long breath.
The battle was over, but the cost was extremely heavy.
After everyone recovered from their shock, they dragged their wounded bodies, supported each other and looked for a safe open space to rest.
Lu Yu was the most seriously injured. The wound on his chest was so deep that the bone was visible, and blood was constantly oozing out.
Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar followed closely behind, also suffering serious injuries.
Although Xiao Wu was not seriously injured, she was extremely weak due to the overdraft of her soul power.
Ning Rongrong and Wang Sheng were in a slightly better situation, but they had almost lost their combat effectiveness.
Wang Sheng took out a bottle of precious healing potion from the soul guide and handed it to Lu Yu, his eyes full of concern: "Lu Yu, drink this quickly."
Lu Yu took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp while enduring the pain.
As the potion entered his mouth, a cool breath quickly spread, and the pain in the wound was slightly relieved, but his expression remained solemn.
This battle was far more dangerous than he had expected. If he had not previously improved Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's strength, everyone would probably have died here.
Lu Yu leaned against a big tree, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, constantly recalling the details of the battle in his mind.
The strength of the Leiyin Beast made him deeply aware that the danger of the Star Dou Forest was far beyond his imagination, and their strength was still not strong enough.
If they encounter a stronger soul beast, or even the person Liu Erlong mentioned, how should they deal with it? He clenched his fist unconsciously, and a feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart.
Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from a distance, breaking the silence of the forest.
Lu Yu suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in a low voice: "Prepare for battle!"
Although everyone was seriously injured, after hearing Lu Yu's order, they still forced themselves to stand up, gripped their weapons tightly, and looked vigilantly in the direction where the voice came from.
Lu Yu leaned against the cold rock wall in the cave. The wound on his chest was still aching slightly. The blood had already coagulated, staining his clothes red.
The air in the cave was damp and heavy, mixed with the smell of earth and grass. The faint firelight jumped on the ground, reflecting everyone's tired and pale faces.
Xiao Wu sat beside him, her face pale. Her soul power was overdrawn so much that she almost had no strength to speak.
Zhu Zhuqing leaned against the rock wall on the other side. The injury in her abdomen made her brows furrowed and her breathing became a little rapid.
Ning Rongrong, Oscar and Wang Sheng each found a corner, some closed their eyes and adjusted their breathing, while others talked in low voices. A depressing atmosphere filled the cave.
At this moment, a low and slightly teasing voice came from the cave entrance, breaking the brief silence: "Tsk tsk, worthy of being the boy who can kill the ten thousand year old thunder sound beast, your perception is quite sharp."
Lu Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his gaze shot towards the cave entrance like a knife.
Upon hearing this, everyone raised their heads, a hint of vigilance flashed in their eyes, and they tightened their weapons.
At the entrance of the cave, a tall figure slowly walked in.
He was a middle-aged man, with a sturdy build, more than two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick back, like an iron tower.
His face was angular and his skin was bronze. There was a hideous scar on his left cheek that extended from his brow to the corner of his mouth, adding a bit of ferocity to his look.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, sweeping across everyone in the cave, and finally fixed on Lu Yu, with an undisguised scrutiny and sense of oppression.
Following closely behind, six figures filed in, each with a calm aura and a malicious gleam in their eyes.
Lu Yu frowned slightly, endured the pain from his wound, slowly stood up and stood in front of everyone.
He looked at the newcomer coldly, quickly assessing his strength in his mind.
The middle-aged man's aura was the most terrifying, and his soul power fluctuations were as heavy as a mountain. He was at the level of a 48th-level Soul Master.
The two people beside him were slightly inferior, but they had also reached level 45. The four people behind him were slightly weaker, but they were all Soul Masters, and their overall strength far exceeded that of their scarred team.
The middle-aged man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said in a low and intimidating voice: "Boy, hurry up and hand over the soul bones you got from the Thunder Sound Beast.
If you hand it over, I can spare your lives."
