Chapter 244 The Netherworld Cat
Li Luochen was walking with Zhu Zhuqing in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest. Why didn't they fly? Because flying would make too much noise, and Li Luochen's aura would be impossible to hide when he flew.
Such a powerful aura would have scared away all the soul beasts long ago. How could you possibly hunt souls then? You wouldn't be afraid of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but even then, it wouldn't fight you, let alone a 10,000-year-old soul beast.
So Li Luochen led Zhu Zhuqing through the forest.
The air in the Star Dou Great Forest is truly refreshing. As long as there are no soul beast lairs or soul beast droppings nearby, this place is like a fairyland.
Three years later, Zhu Zhuqing had grown into an even more beautiful young woman. Her already stunning figure became even more enviable, and her youthful appearance gradually matured.
Zhu Zhuqing is now seventeen years old and her soul power has reached level seventy. From the perspective of a soul master's age, this kind of talent is very high.
Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing is now considered to have both beauty and strength, making it hard not to like her and feel that she is not like her old friend, Da Xuezi.
"Hmm? Something's coming, Zhuqing, be on alert!"
Li Luochen sensed something was being dealt with using his spiritual power; it was happening extremely fast and its aura was very subtle.
Li Luochen instantly guessed that a suitable soul ring for Zhu Zhuqing had arrived, since the combination of speed and concealed aura clearly indicated a dark speed attribute.
Moreover, based on Li Luochen's perception, this soul beast was over 70,000 years old and had come to life.
On the other side, a cat with a completely black body moved swiftly through the forest, its eyes yellow and its body exuding a dark aura.
It seemed to have caught a whiff of something familiar, something that seemed like a "natural treasure" that suited it, so it charged straight in.
This Netherworld Cat is the oldest in the Star Dou Great Forest. It is eight meters long and two meters tall. It looks a bit small compared to other large soul beasts, but its combat power should not be underestimated.
This Netherworld Cat is 86,000 years old, a true overlord-level soul beast. Apart from those rare bloodline soul beasts and 100,000-year-old soul beasts, it has no rivals.
Moreover, it is extremely fast and agile, making it very difficult to catch up with. Furthermore, this Netherworld Cat is different from ordinary Netherworld Cats; its claws are longer and sharper, and its dark aura is more intense.
This Netherworld Cat is extremely intelligent. As a hunter, it knows how to conceal its strengths. It is a Netherworld Cat with trump cards; it once tricked and killed a Title Douluo.
Because it had killed a Title Douluo and consumed his body, its cultivation level had greatly increased during this period. It was confident that it could reach the level of a 90,000-year-old soul beast in the next few decades and break through to become a 100,000-year-old soul beast within a thousand years!
Become the true king of the Spirit Cat Clan!
During its afternoon nap today, it sensed a very sensitive aura. Its feeling was that if it ate that thing, its cultivation would definitely increase greatly! It would break through to become a 100,000-year-old soul beast in a much shorter time!
In reality, Li Luochen protected Zhu Zhuqing and sensed the approaching soul beast. In just three breaths, a large black cat arrived in front of the two of them.
"Netherworld Cat?!" Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed in surprise. She was very familiar with this kind of soul beast; it was the same type of soul beast as her martial soul.
"Yes, that's right. The age is around 85,000 years. Zhu Qing, you're very lucky."
Li Luochen and Zhu Zhuqing were whispering to each other.
The Netherworld Cat stared at Zhu Zhuqing, its eyes gleaming with greed. It sensed that the thing was either on the human woman or had been eaten by her. All it needed to do was eat her.
However, the Netherworld Cat looked at the human man beside it and sensed a faint danger. As a hunter, it was confident in its senses. At first glance, the human man seemed to have a weak aura, but the dangerous aura had not disappeared.
Therefore, the Netherworld Cat hesitated to make a move. It valued its life more than any opportunity, so it merely circled around without launching a substantial attack. Li Luochen, however, couldn't wait any longer and released his spirit rings!
Red, red, red, red, orange-gold, red, red, red, gold.
Nine spirit rings appeared: four red, one orange, three red, and one gold. What a strange spirit ring configuration!
The ninth pure gold soul ring was bestowed by the Golden Dragon Pill, making it a genuine god-level soul ring with a total of four soul skills!
The Dragon Pill helped increase the age of Li Luochen's dragon-type soul rings again. The first four soul rings were upgraded to the 100,000-year level, and the fifth soul ring, being a 100,000-year soul ring, was upgraded to a ferocious beast soul ring.
This is Li Luochen's greatest gain since emerging from seclusion: all the top-tier spirit rings. Who on the continent, besides the gods, can rival him? Only Bibi Dong, wielding a divine artifact, is considered cheating, as is the Great Mother Dragon of the Star Dou Great Forest.
With his current strength, Li Luochen can defeat anything, whether it's the old black dragon in the Star Dou Great Forest or the giant whale in the ocean!
The ninth golden soul ring on Li Luochen's body began to flash, and a golden barrier suddenly extended from Li Luochen's body.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Domain!"
Golden Dragon Domain, a domain-type soul skill, Li Luochen unleashed a golden domain to suppress his opponent's state. If the opponent is a beast, the suppression will be even stronger.
In an instant, the Netherworld Cat felt its strength suppressed to one-tenth! It was extremely anxious, but the human in front of it had changed its weapon, and it was doomed today.
He cursed inwardly, "These damned, cunning humans! Why are they hiding their presence for no reason?! Are they playing dumb to fool me? Is this some kind of joke? Bullying a child tens of thousands of years old like me! This is outrageous!"
Li Luochen had no idea that the Netherworld Cat had so much inner turmoil, so he directly suppressed it with his soul power, crushing all its bones and severely injuring it.
"Zhuqing, take care of it."
Upon hearing Li Luochen's words, Zhu Zhuqing activated her martial spirit, extended her cat paw, and instantly killed the Netherworld Spirit Cat.
Before it died, the Netherworld Cat saw that this human woman possessed an aura that strongly attracted it, suggesting that she had consumed some kind of treasure. Furthermore, this human woman was also a Netherworld Cat.
As a seasoned hunter, I have met my end today. Before dying, the Netherworld Cat could not think of anything. It had no mate or offspring and lived a lonely life. A hunter does not need a mate.
Having committed itself to the path of a hunter, the Netherworld Cat was killed by Zhu Zhuqing with a headshot, and a jet-black soul ring emerged from its body.
After finishing her task, Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Li Luochen, a smile appearing on her face, before sitting down cross-legged to absorb the soul ring.
Li Luochen, on the other hand, was an experienced soul bone hunter. He felt that his luck was pretty good. Soul rings were coming to him automatically. He figured it was like a buy-one-get-one-free deal. How about a soul bone?
Since Zhu Zhuqing was killed by a headshot, her skull was not unusual, so there was no skull, and her limbs also lacked soul bones.
It wasn't until Li Luochen persisted with the Netherworld Cat's torso that he detected fluctuations in soul power, then laughed. "Handsome people always have good luck!" he chuckled.
Li Luochen directly broke open the Netherworld Cat's body and took out a piece of black torso bone. It was a very complete torso bone, aged 86,000 years. Combined with Zhu Zhuqing's soul ring, its power was probably no less than that of a 100,000-year soul ring.
Li Luochen grabbed the soul bone and sat down next to Zhu Zhuqing, waiting for her to finish absorbing the soul ring.
