Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 Thousand-Year Soul Beast

Even after the white-haired figure disappeared into the forest, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had not yet returned to normal.

The two remained silent, both with their mouths agape in disbelief.

They considered many possibilities, such as Su Chen being injured and escaping, or Su Chen being able to hold out longer, but they never considered the possibility of him turning the tables and killing the soul beast!

This is a fifty-year-old soul beast!

They are the kind with extremely high power, and their soul skills are all designed to enhance themselves. If they are not careful, even a great soul master will perish on the spot.

It's nothing to a titled Douluo, but it's enough to kill these little brats without them even getting tired.

Yet, this formidable enemy, which would have been absolutely fatal to Su Chen, was taken down by that kid!

"He just died?"

After a long while, Yue Guan stared blankly at his old friend, pointing at the mess.

"He just died like that, killed with a dagger and some metal wire?"

"Did I see wrong? Or was it not a soul beast, but just an ordinary wild animal?"

As a titled Douluo, he had seen a lot, but this was truly the first time he had ever seen such a scene.

It's like a little white rabbit suddenly taking down a fierce tiger.

Yue Guan didn't know if the tiger was confused or not, but he was definitely confused right now.

"By provoking it, the silverback gorilla was forced to remain in a state of rage and constantly use its soul skills, greatly depleting its stamina."

Ghost Douluo took a deep breath, calming his turbulent heart.

He looked into the depths of the jungle, his eyes filled with complex emotions beneath the ghostly mask.

"The subtle manipulation of attaching soul power to the soles of one's feet to walk steadily on the tree, coupled with the superb throwing technique, allows each dagger to hit the weakest vitals. The silverback gorilla's pain is reduced when it is in a frenzy, and it will only realize that it has lost too much blood when it is exhausted."

"Moreover, they did not let their guard down with the dying soul beasts. Instead, they took advantage of their violent and impulsive nature and sent them to their doom."

"This is a perfect battle plan created in an extremely short time, based on the target's personality, with no redundant steps. Even a human would probably..."

Ghost Douluo shook his head, not finishing his sentence, but Chrysanthemum Douluo understood what he meant.

"That's terrifying! Is this really something a six-year-old could do? Old ghost, when we were six..."

After hearing all this, Yue Guan couldn't help but murmur in a daze.

"Even if this child doesn't have talent, he will definitely be an extraordinary person in the future, not to mention that his talent is so outstanding."

He glanced at Yan, who was still screaming in terror at a common wild beast in the distance, and Su Chen, who had single-handedly fought a fifty-year-old soul beast and remained calm and collected, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Is the difference between people really that great?

Click!

The sound of shattering leaves was crisp and faint. Su Chen's ears twitched, and his fair, jade-like eyes swept across the deep forest.

Despite being on the outskirts, the dense, towering trees still made visibility very low, but fortunately, this had no effect on Su Chen, who possessed the White Eye.

Although the white eye didn't detect anything unusual, the boy still keenly sensed something was amiss.

He slowed his pace, bent his waist slightly, and looked like a cheetah poised to pounce.

A faint white mist had appeared around us, and a delicate fragrance of grass and trees gradually filled the air.

It was a wonderfully captivating fragrance.

Buzz!

A barely perceptible, slight noise came from underground. Instantly, alarm bells rang in the boy's mind, and the hairs on his body stood on end. Without hesitation, he pulled the pre-placed steel wire and left the spot.

Bang!!!!

A sharp wooden splinter suddenly shot up from where the boy had just stood, shattering a rock into pieces!

The difference is minuscule!

Su Chen stood on the treetop, still shaken, looking at his clothes with holes in them. If he hadn't opened them beforehand, he would have been the one who got pierced through!

What's going on? Why is he rolling his eyes? No, that's not right!

Rumble!!

The land began to surge, trees fell, and soil churned. Su Chen had to move back and forth to barely keep his balance.

Several veins bulged from the corners of the boy's eyes, and his eyes widened to their maximum size, taking in the scenery within a kilometer radius. Suddenly, his pupils contracted.

A moment later, the tremors of the earth gradually subsided, and a huge soul beast appeared before Su Chen.

It was a strange soul beast that resembled neither a dragon nor a silkworm, with a body length of over twenty meters. Its body radiated an emerald-like light, with a single horn on its forehead. Its lower body, however, had many veins that strangely extended out, rooted in the earth and tightly connected to the trees.

Those emerald-like eyes were staring greedily at Su Chen, as if they were looking at some delicious food.

It wasn't that Baiyan hadn't discovered anything; rather, that thing had perfectly merged with the tree's roots.

Indeed, novels and reality are different. This is a completely new world, and if you still use your previous understanding to judge it, you will run into big problems.

Buzz!

There was another slight noise. The boy quickly pulled on the wire and, with the help of his Sharingan, narrowly avoided a wooden splinter that seemed to have come from nowhere, and intentionally or unintentionally steered it in another direction.

"Pfft!"

A serpentine spirit beast that had been lingering in the tree for a long time, seemingly intending to launch a sneak attack, was instantly pierced through and fell silent without even letting out a scream.

"Looks like a big one."

Looking at the deep yellow spirit ring that emerged from the spirit beast, Su Chen took a deep breath, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Originally, he wanted to shift the blame elsewhere, but now it seems that this strange soul beast is probably much more powerful than he expected.

If a spirit beast can be instantly killed, then the age of that spirit beast is obvious.

Thousand-year-old soul beast!

Rumble!

The huge tremor startled a flock of birds, causing Yan to fall directly from the tree in fright.

"Don't eat me! Don't eat me!!"

He hid in the bushes, trembling, his face ashen, until the noise subsided, at which point he dared to slowly peek out.

Not far away, Xie Yue was dodging the pursuit of the soul beasts. Hearing this commotion, he couldn't help but be distracted for a moment, and a bloody claw mark appeared on his back.

Damn it!

The boy groaned in pain, but dared not stop walking.

Hu Liena had not yet found the soul beast. When the tremor sounded, the girl couldn't help but look up, a trace of worry flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Because she remembered that it seemed to be the direction Su Chen had gone.

At the same time, the tremor also interrupted Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who were deep in thought.

"Wait a minute, something's happened to Su Chen!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly looked up, and his expression changed drastically as he looked around.

"Damn it, it's this guy!!"
