Chapter 68: Blood Demon Mad Bear

Behemoth Canyon is filled with stone pillars; for those who do not understand how to fly, it is very easy to get lost while walking through here.

Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor naturally cannot fly, but he has already reached the Title Douluo realm, so relying on soul power to hover and fly is not a difficult task.

A Title Douluo can fly, but compared to a true flying Spirit Master, it is just difficult to exert one's strength in an aerial battlefield.

Dugu Bo looked down at the canyon from the sky, searched for a short while, and then landed, "Let's go, it's here."

He walked in front, and Nan Feihuang followed him boldly.

The benefit of having a Title Douluo's protection is that as long as one does not court death by going to forbidden lands like Life Lake or the depths of the Extreme North, one can travel freely to most other places.

Soon, the two saw a deep pit ahead.

Rather than a deep pit, it was more like a footprint, left behind after a giant creature had passed by.

The footprint was still very fresh; that fellow should not have gone far.

Dugu Bo compared the shape and length of the footprint, "This is indeed the footprint of a Blood Demon Mad Bear. A Blood Demon Mad Bear is not a giant Spirit Beast; its size is about the same as a Titan Giant Ape. Even with one hundred thousand years of cultivation, it is only about twenty meters. Before ten thousand years, they grow one meter every thousand years; between ten thousand and one hundred thousand years, they grow one meter every ten thousand years. According to the size of this footprint, this Blood Demon Mad Bear's height is about five point five meters, which means five thousand five hundred years of cultivation—just right for us."

"Wow, Old Poison, I didn't expect you to know so much about Spirit Beasts," Nan Feihuang said with admiration.

Dugu Bo smiled proudly, "Haha, at any rate, I am a Title Douluo, and I have also undergone advanced training at the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall's archives are open to Title Douluo for free. Back then, I wanted to go there to see if there was any way to remove this virulent poison of mine, so I read many books. In the future, if you need any Spirit Beast, just ask me."

Dugu Bo was very happy that he could help Nan Feihuang; it could be considered as repaying some of the favor he owed him.

Just at this moment, the earth suddenly trembled; it was the sound of some gargantuan creature's approaching footsteps.

Dugu Bo grabbed Nan Feihuang and hid behind a rock. He did not know if the one coming was the Blood Demon Mad Bear they were looking for; if it were at the ten-thousand-year level, even he would have to spend a bit of effort to defeat it.

Spirit Beasts with Behemoth bloodlines have always had the ability to fight above their level; a thousand-year one beating a ten-thousand-year one, a ten-thousand-year one rivaling a fifty or sixty-thousand-year one, or a fifty-thousand-year one battling a hundred-thousand-year one are all common occurrences, and Dugu Bo is not adept at one-on-one combat.

Their goal for this trip was only that five-thousand-year-old one; there was no need to waste soul power attacking other Spirit Beasts.

Therefore, it was better to observe for a while first.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

That gargantuan creature walked through the canyon just like that. Dugu Bo and Nan Feihuang poked their two heads out from behind the stone wall; both of them had just been holding their breath.

At this moment, Nan Feihuang finally let out a sigh of relief, "Phew, it's a good thing we hid. That one just now was over ten meters, right? It was a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast. It would have been quite good to leave for my E Lai in the future; his martial soul is actually very suitable for this kind of Spirit Beast."

"Kid, don't let your guard down. There is another one behind. Judging by the momentum, it is much smaller than the one just now; it should be our target." Dugu Bo had profound cultivation and sensed another aura.

Sure enough, not long after, another Blood Demon Mad Bear walked toward this side step by step, with a one-meter-long fish-type Spirit Beast in its mouth; it turned out it had just gone to forage.

"Five-plus meters long, that's it!" Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. Two yellow, two purple, and five black—nine soul rings appeared on his body, and at the same time, his third soul ring lit up, "Third Soul Skill, Jade Phosphor Bewitching Array!"

Dugu Bo's third soul skill, Jade Phosphor Bewitching Array, is a poison array set up using Jade Phosphor Snake Poison; it can not only control and confuse enemies but also cause enemies within the array to gradually become poisoned.

The Blood Demon Mad Bear was startled by this suddenly appearing poison array and immediately let out a roar, spitting wind from its mouth in an attempt to blow away the poisonous gas, but no matter how hard it tried, it could not shake this poison array in the slightest.

After all, this was no ordinary poison array, but a soul skill from a Title Douluo.

Nan Feihuang held his Fangtian Halberd and prepared to rush out, but was pressed down by Dugu Bo, "Don't be impatient. Even if the Blood Demon Mad Bear is powerful, it is impossible for a mere thousand-year Spirit Beast to break the poison array of a Title Douluo like me. Wait a little while, and it will completely lose its strength under my Jade Phosphor Bewitching Array. Don't worry, the poison of my third soul skill is not fatal; it will be in time for you to go out and deliver the finishing blow later."

Hearing this, Nan Feihuang stopped insisting and watched the Blood Demon Mad Bear inside the poison array intently.

Because it saw that it could not break through Dugu Bo's poison array, and being naturally brutal by nature, it looked increasingly irritable as it became uncomfortable from the poison.

Its powerful heavy fists continuously bombarded the stone wall, causing the nearby ground to shake.

"This is the Blood Demon Mad Bear's Blood Demon Heavy Fist. That Demon Bear Douluo of the Spirit Hall also has such a soul skill. You should observe the attack pattern clearly; if you encounter him in the future, it will be easier to beat him until he cannot take care of himself." Dugu Bo reminded him specifically.

Then, the Blood Demon Mad Bear changed its fists into claws, grabbing a blood-red mark dozens of meters deep into the rock wall with one swipe.

"You should pay close attention to this move. This is the Bloodthirsty Claw. Its power is only slightly inferior to the Tearing Heaven Claw and Dark Gold Terrorclaw of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan. It's just that this Blood Demon Mad Bear's cultivation is insufficient, so it cannot unleash the true power of this move; it is only powerful when that Demon Bear Douluo uses it."

"I say, Old Poison, do you have a grudge against Demon Bear Douluo?" Nan Feihuang teased. How come this guy seemed so hopeful that he would kill Demon Bear Douluo in the future?

"I don't have a grudge, it's just that I hate people from the Spirit Hall. Back then, after I repeatedly refused the Spirit Hall's recruitment, I was hunted to the brink of death by the Ju Gui Douluo of the Spirit Hall. If I hadn't luckily encountered Xue Xing Prince's patrol army, I would have died without a burial place long ago. Afterward, I also had exchanges with several Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall, and the one I fought the most was Ju Douluo. It's a pity, I couldn't beat any of them; every time I was defeated and fled in a sorry state. Xiaofeijiang, you have great potential; remember to help me take revenge in the future." Dugu Bo now completely regarded Nan Feihuang as a friend of a different generation.

He spoke of his own embarrassing matters so openly.

Nan Feihuang nodded, "Alright, Old Poison. Bullying my friend is bullying me. In the future, I will definitely help you blow that chrysanthemum up!"

At this time, the Blood Demon Mad Bear underwent another mutation. Its eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and its body swelled up, full of a sense of power.

At this moment, its momentum was so strong that it was not inferior to any ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast.

Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed, "It's here. This is their clan's strongest augmentation skill, Berserk. At the cost of losing one's sanity, it maximizes one's own power. Xiaofeijiang, what we are waiting for next is for this fellow to bring about its own destruction. When that time comes, you can just use your Half-Moon Slash to cut off its head."
