Chapter 97: Space Magic Dragon (Please Follow and Subscribe!)

It has to be said, sometimes a person's luck is just that bad—it's not that Gu Xuan's fourth soul skill isn't the Spatial Gate, but rather he simply doesn't have a fourth soul skill at all.

Because Gu Rong brought Gu Xuan and Li Li to the territory of the Space Magic Dragon in the Star Dou Great Forest, that Space Magic Dragon had actually already left long ago, and its territory is now occupied by a 30,000-year-old Red Armored Earth Dragon.

What's puzzling is that even this 30,000-year-old Red Armored Earth Dragon could not possibly be a match for the Space Magic Dragon, and even if the Space Magic Dragon weren't a match, relying on its mastery of spatial power, it could not possibly be killed by this Red Armored Earth Dragon.

Moreover, in terms of bloodline, the Space Magic Dragon is still one level above the Red Armored Earth Dragon.

Gu Rong carefully investigated and found that there was not even a corpse or bones of the Space Magic Dragon here; this proves that the Space Magic Dragon is still alive, just unknown whereabouts.

Regarding this, Gu Xuan was also quite helpless, after all, such powerful soul beasts rarely suddenly change their territory, yet he Gu Xuan encountered this.

Seeing this situation, Gu Rong also thought of an unbelievable possibility: that he had seen this Space Magic Dragon over a year ago, and the Space Magic Dragon might have sensed him, after all, the eighth soul ring on Gu Rong's body is this Space Magic Dragon's father.

The Space Magic Dragon's intelligence is not low either; it's very likely that it sensed Gu Rong's arrival and simply fled, so as not to follow its father's footsteps and become a soul ring for a Soul Master.

When Gu Rong told Gu Xuan this speculation, Gu Xuan went numb—what the hell kind of luck is this? Could it even let his fourth soul ring run away?

Li Li, listening on the side, couldn't help but laugh: "Big brother, your luck is too terrible! If it's really as Bone Grandpa said, then your fourth soul ring would be gone!"

Gu Xuan gave a dark look at the Red Armored Earth Dragon below, then said: "How could it be gone? Although the Star Dou Great Forest isn't small, the places the Space Magic Dragon can go are limited; I'll dig three feet deep if I have to to find it!"

Gu Rong, hearing this, also pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, the Space Magic Dragon has a high compatibility with our Bone Dragon martial soul; losing such a soul ring is indeed not worthwhile. During this time, you two will come with me to search for the Space Magic Dragon in the Star Dou Great Forest, and incidentally we can also find a suitable third soul ring for Li Li."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan smiled and nodded, replying: "Grandfather, then I'll trouble you."

Gu Rong waved his hand nonchalantly, saying: "Old man, you're my only grandchild; it's only right to endure some hardship. I only hope you can let me hold a great-grandson soon!"

Upon hearing that, Li Li couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

If Gu Xuan knew what Li Li was thinking inside, he'd probably couldn't help but give her a beating, then fiercely tell her, "You're so cute, a punch would probably make you cry for a long time."

According to records, among peers, females are more lustful than males by at least six times……it is said………… (Harmony Crab Divine Beast)

Afterwards, the grandfather and grandson trio set out on the journey to find the Space Magic Dragon; with Gu Rong being a ninety-seven–level Super Douluo, even a hundred-thousand-year soul beast could not threaten the safety of Gu Xuan and Li Li.

After all, spatial power can be called the most unpredictable and bizarre ability; even though Gu Rong had just broken through to ninety-seven level, facing a ninety-eight–level Super Douluo, he could absolutely retreat unscathed.

And the reason they didn't first hunt a third soul ring for Li Li wasn't because they absolutely had to find the Space Magic Dragon for Gu Xuan first, but because they hadn't encountered a suitable one.

Li Li is currently thirtieth level, but having consumed Whale Glue and immortal-grade medicinal herbs, she could previously absorb a 2,000-year third soul ring, and since Gu Rong personally took action, the quality of the soul ring would naturally not be compromised.

So along the way they didn't just casually find any soul ring for Li Li and call it a day; instead they wanted to select the most suitable third soul ring for her.

This search lasted a month, and the Space Magic Dragon still left no trace, and Li Li still hadn't obtained her third soul ring, because along the way they mainly searched for the Space Magic Dragon for Gu Xuan.

Along the way they did encounter a Human Face Demon Spider, but it was only 1,500 years old; although its martial soul shared the same origin as Li Li's, its age was too low, so they didn't hunt it.

Moreover, Gu Xuan suddenly recalled that in the original story, Tang San's third soul ring came from a 2,000-year-old Human Face Demon Spider, and it also yielded the powerful External Soul Bone known as the Eight Spider Spears.

So Gu Xuan directly set a target for Li Li's third soul ring: a 2,000-year-old Human Face Demon Spider.

Although the Star Dou Great Forest has many Human Face Demon Spiders, even more than one of 2,000-year level, and even though it's impossible to be exactly the same as the one Tang San hunted in the original, there is still some hope.

If they happened to encounter one, wouldn't Li Li gain a great deal? Moreover, a 2,000-year-old Human Face Demon Spider would be a perfect match for her current state.

But that's all for later, because for now they have indeed not encountered a 2,000-year-old Human Face Demon Spider.

After spending a month with nothing to show for it, Gu Xuan felt a bit uneasy, after all, during that month they had practically covered the entire area of soul beast territories ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 years, yet in the end they still came up empty-handed.

Suddenly, Gu Xuan thought of a possibility: soul beasts generally do not appear with low age in high-level soul beast territories, but it is possible for high-level soul beasts to appear in low-level soul beast territories.

The Space Magic Dragon knows to seek fortune and avoid misfortune; it's not impossible that it fled to the outskirts and hid there.

Thinking of this possibility, Gu Xuan told Gu Rong his idea; Gu Rong also thought it reasonable, and since they couldn't find it in the inner region, they might as well try their luck in the outer region.

Moreover, there are no powerful soul beasts in the outskirts, so the search speed would be much faster.

Thus another month passed, and Gu Rong, with Gu Xuan and Li Li, silently hovered above the territory of a thousand-year soul beast, watching down at a group of thousand-year rock snakes.

The group of rock snakes numbered over fifty, the strongest among them being only about three thousand years old, but the leader of the group was not this three-thousand-year rock snake; it was a black-scaled magic dragon five meters in length.

This magic dragon was exactly the Space Magic Dragon that Gu Xuan had been painstakingly searching for two months.

Let alone, this Space Magic Dragon quite enjoys itself; after controlling this rock snake clan, it treats them as lackeys, doing nothing all day and just knowing how to freeload.

Suddenly, the Space Magic Dragon seemed to sense something; it had been lazily basking in the sun on the ground, but it abruptly raised its ferocious head and gazed toward the horizon.

Gu Rong's flight altitude wasn't great, and the Space Magic Dragon's vision was also limited; it could barely make out a dark speck high above.

That inexplicable sense of familiarity and oppression, along with a sense of danger, instantly surged into its mind; without time to think further, it sprang up and tried to flee.

It wasn't flying by flapping its dragon wings; instead, its body surface soul power circulated, and a pitch-black spatial gate suddenly appeared before it, into which it dove headfirst.

Watching the Space Magic Dragon's action, Gu Xuan felt no anxiety at all; instead, he wore a smile as he gazed down at the Space Magic Dragon's maneuver.

At the same moment the Space Magic Dragon released its innate soul skill, Gu Rong beside Gu Xuan also had two yellow, two purple, and five black soul rings rise from his body, making nine in total.

The nine soul rings gleamed; the eighth ring, a dark black ten-thousand-year soul ring, lit up together with the Space Magic Dragon's skill, and a spatial gate appeared before Gu Rong and the three of them.

"Since we've found it, it can't get away." Gu Rong smiled slightly and stepped into the spatial gate.

Gu Xuan and Li Li closely followed.
