Chapter 82: News about the Hundred Thousand-Year Soul Beast
The soul-fighting competition is over.
At this time, Yan took a look at the sky. It was already noon. He touched his belly and said,
"After a spirit fight, I feel a little hungry. I have consumed a lot of spirit power, so it's time to replenish it."
Yan suggested:
"The college cafeteria should be open for lunch by now. Let's go eat."
He walked forward, put his arm around Ye Qifeng's shoulders, and said,
"Come on, Xiaofeng, the food in the academy cafeteria is delicious. There are all kinds of dishes. The food in the academy is not comparable to that in the orphanage. There is even soul beast meat, specially for soul masters."
Soul-beast meat? Ye Qifeng's eyes lit up.
Regarding soul beast meat, he had learned from books that on the Douluo Continent, civilians almost never eat soul beast meat; only soul masters eat it.
There are several reasons for this:
First, civilians do not have the ability to hunt soul-beasts. In front of soul-beasts, civilians can only be hunted.
Secondly, soul beast meat is relatively precious and expensive and is not affordable for ordinary people. Only the aristocracy can afford it.
Third, soul beasts are creatures that can practice cultivation, so after being hunted, some of the soul power and blood from their lifetime will remain in their meat.
The energy contained in it is simply not something that an ordinary civilian body can withstand. Only the body of a soul master who is capable of practicing can withstand and absorb it.
Even so, even soul masters cannot eat too much soul beast meat because eating too much can easily lead to oversupplementation, which can cause nosebleeds in the mildest cases and explosions and death in the worst cases.
"Is there a soft-bone rabbit in soul beast meat?" Ye Qifeng asked at this time.
Yan nodded and replied,
"Yes, yes. As one of the most common animal soul beasts in Douluo Continent, the Soft Bone Rabbit is definitely indispensable on the dining table."
"In our college cafeteria, we offer more than a dozen dishes, including braised rabbit, spicy rabbit cubes, stewed rabbit meat, barbecued rabbit legs, spicy rabbit head, etc. They taste delicious."
Yan couldn't help but think about it for a moment, turned his head to look at Ye Qifeng, laughed, and asked:
"Xiaofeng, do you like to eat soft-bone rabbit? Haha, I like to eat soft-bone rabbits too. My favorite is braised rabbit. Which way do you like to eat it?"
Ye Qifeng nodded, smiled, and said, "I am more interested in spicy rabbit heads."
"Haha, come on, come on, today I'll take you to taste the soft-bone rabbit. I guarantee you'll have an endless aftertaste for it after you finish eating it." Yan laughed.
Then he turned around and called out to Xie Yue and Hu Liena, "Xie Yue, Nana, let's go eat."
"Okay." Xie Yue and Hu Liena responded at the same time.
The group of four left the small fighting arena and headed towards the college cafeteria.
...
The Pope's Palace.
Meeting hall.
At this time, Bibi Dong sat majestically on the Pope's throne, holding a papal scepter more than two meters high in her hand. Her beautiful face was expressionless, and her eyes were sharp and cold.
At the bottom of the steps, there was a figure standing on the left and the right. They were the two elders in front of the hall.
The enchanting figure on the left was Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, and the one on the right was Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, shrouded in a black robe.
At this time, in the center of the hall, a cardinal in a red robe was kneeling.
"What do you have to report?" Pope Bibi Dong asked coldly from above.
The cardinal was so overwhelmed by the aura coming from the high platform that he dared not raise his head. He replied respectfully,
"Your Holiness, news has just arrived through the Spirit Hall's encrypted channels that a hundred thousand-year-old spirit beast is suspected to have appeared outside the Xingdou Great Forest!"
Bibi Dong stood up suddenly after hearing this; her breathing became a little rapid, and she asked anxiously:
"Is the news accurate?"
Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo's eyes also flashed with brilliance at this time, and their gazes all fell on the cardinal, with irrepressible joy in their eyes.
That is a hundred thousand-year-old soul beast, which can produce hundred thousand-year-old soul rings and soul bones.
After all, a hundred thousand-year-old soul ring and soul bone are priceless treasures for Douluo Continent, enough to drive everyone crazy.
The two of them already have full-spirit rings. They don't need a hundred thousand-year-old spirit ring. What they need are spirit bones.
You should know that Yue Guan, as the elder of the Pope Hall of the Spirit Hall and a Titled Douluo, does not have even a single soul bone on him. You can imagine how precious soul bones are, which is simply ridiculously high, not to mention a hundred thousand-year-old soul bone.
As for a hundred thousand-year-old soul beast, as long as it is hunted successfully, it will obtain soul bones, and the soul bones produced by a hundred thousand-year-old soul beast will definitely come with at least two skills.
Sensing three sharp gazes falling on him at the same time, the cardinal felt the pressure increase dramatically.
He did not dare to neglect it, and he quickly bowed his head and replied respectfully, telling the whole story of the news:
"The news comes from a soul-hunting group outside the Star Dou Great Forest."
"This soul hunting group accepted a commission from a level 30 soul rabbit martial soul master. They entered the outskirts of the Xingdou Great Forest yesterday. When they were hunting a thousand-year-old soft-bone rabbit, they were attacked by a group of hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old soul beasts."
"Fortunately, the leader of the Soul Hunting Group is a high-level Soul King. Under his leadership, the team, although they lost several members, was able to break through the siege in the end."
"During the breakout, the leader of the Soul Hunting Group discovered that the group of soul beasts that attacked them were actually controlled by a two-year-old girl, who was riding a three-meter-tall soft-bone rabbit."
"After they broke through the encirclement, they heard a terrifying roar of an orangutan and a moo of a cow coming from the depths of the Xingdou Great Forest. Then the little girl riding the rabbit gave up the pursuit and disappeared into the forest."
"After escaping from the forest, the leader of the Soul Hunting Group found the branch of the Spirit Hall in the town closest to the Star Dou Great Forest and reported the news."
"We suspect that those two terrifying roars came from a hundred thousand-year-old soul beast. The little girl riding a rabbit is also a little suspicious. She actually associated with a soul beast."
Listening to the report, Bibi Dong's lavender eyes became brighter and brighter. She thought to herself that she finally had news about a hundred thousand-year-old soul beast. This was truly a blessing from heaven.
After a moment, Bibi Dong collected her thoughts, looked at the cardinal, and asked calmly,
"Where is the leader of the Soul Hunting Group now?"
The cardinal replied respectfully:
"Reporting to His Holiness the Pope, the person is currently being placed in a branch of the Spirit Hall in a small town on the outskirts of the city. The name of that town is Xingyue."
"Well done. You can leave first." Bibi Dong waved her hand and said,.
"I'll take my leave!"
The cardinal bowed and left the meeting hall, not daring to raise his head from beginning to end. The majesty of the Pope of the Spirit Hall must not be violated, and not everyone is qualified to look the Pope directly in the eye and catch a glimpse of her beautiful face.
After the cardinal withdrew, Yue Guan couldn't wait to say in a tender voice:
"Your Holiness, if the news is correct, according to the records in the Spirit Hall, the roar of the gorilla should be the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, the hundred thousand year soul beast—the King of the Forest Titan Ape—and the moo of the bull should be the hundred thousand year soul beast—the Azure Bull Python."
Bibi Dong nodded. She naturally guessed that the roar of the orangutan and the roar of the bull came from the Titan Gigantic Ape and the Azure Bull Python.
But her focus was not here. It was difficult to capture the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, which would require a huge amount of manpower and resources. It was not appropriate for the Spirit Hall to make a big move now. Besides, it was still unknown where the specific hiding places of these two soul beasts were.
Bibi Dong's focus was on the two-year-old girl. She said leisurely,
"Let's ignore the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python for now. The focus is on the two-year-old girl."
"That little girl?" Yue Guan was stunned for a moment, but the next second he suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Your Holiness, are you saying..."
