Chapter 17 This guy only knows how to say "hmm," it's so annoying.
A giant ant emerged from a depression in the ground a hundred meters away.
The ant's forelegs had evolved into sharp blades. The two pairs of wings on its back indicated that this ant had reached the age of ten thousand years.
The Thousand-Pound Ant evolves its wings when it breaks through the 10,000-year mark; it will grow a second pair of wings after breaking through 50,000 years, and a third pair of wings after breaking through 100,000 years.
Clearly, judging from the appearance of this giant ant, it has been over 10,000 years for some time, but it certainly hasn't reached 50,000 years.
"Oh no! A ten-thousand-year-old ant!!" Xiaolan exclaimed inwardly.
“A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, we are no match for it,” Ouyang Luoxue said in a deep voice.
Soul beasts aged 10,000 to 50,000 years roughly correspond to Soul Saint level experts, those aged 50,000 to 99,909 years correspond to Soul Douluo level experts, and those aged over 100,000 years correspond to Title Douluo level experts.
"Miss, you go first. I'll try to hold it off a little longer. You hurry up and get out of here!" Xiao Lan was already prepared to die; she was determined to ensure her mistress's safe evacuation, even if it meant her own death.
"Let's go together. You can't stop it for long by yourself. If you die, we won't be able to escape either. Come on!!" Ouyang Luoxue's eyes narrowed as she stared intently at the Thousand-Pound Ant a hundred meters away.
"Miss—" Xiao Lan was deeply moved. Her young lady had thought so deeply. Yes, she herself could only hold out for a minute at most. With her young lady's strength having just entered the Soul Venerable realm, how far could she run?
"First Soul Skill: Ice Spirit Blessing," the yellow soul ring beneath Ouyang Luoxue's feet flashed. Ice Spirit Blessing activated, and Xiaolan's ice attribute received a temporary evolutionary boost.
Sensing the fighting spirit of the three people opposite, the Thousand-Pound Ant pushed off with its four legs and charged towards Ouyang Luoxue and the other two.
One hundred meters…
Fifty meters…
"Second Soul Skill: Frost Domain," the second purple soul ring beneath Ouyang Luoxue's feet flashed. A domain with a radius of fifty meters spread out from Ouyang Luoxue.
The ants were trapped inside.
The Frost Domain can restrict an opponent's movements, slowing their speed and reducing their attack power. It also strengthens Soul Masters with ice-attribute abilities on the right side of the domain. It's a very powerful domain skill that enhances oneself and restricts enemies.
This shows that Ouyang Luoxue's talent is also extremely extraordinary.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Ice Dragon Breath!" Xiao Lan's fourth purple soul ring flashed, and a powerful wave of energy surged forth. Soul power converged at a single point, unleashing its full force.
The Thousand-Pound Ant stopped its charge, its sharp blades piercing the ground, and with a lift of its arms, it raised a huge rock in front of it.
The ice dragon's breath slammed directly into the rock, shattering it. The Thousand-Pound Ant was still injured by the aftershock and was forced back.
The rock absorbed most of the damage, but the mighty ant's powerful arms, which it was so proud of, suffered only minor injuries.
The Thousand-Pound Ant, staring at its arm oozing green blood, roared furiously to the sky. It charged at the three again…
"Oh no! The rock that the Thousand-Pound Ant raised blocked a lot of damage, and the remaining damage is not fatal at all. Now it seems that it has been enraged." Nana, who was next to Ouyang Luoxue, said.
"Second Soul Skill: Frost Slash!"
Nana's second yellow spirit ring flashed beneath her feet, and she conjured an ice blade in her right hand, slashing it towards the Thousand-Pound Ant. An ice blade hurtled towards the Thousand-Pound Ant, but the ant, undaunted, chose to take the blow head-on.
The ant was knocked back a few meters but was not seriously injured. It was only slightly pushed back by the aftershock.
The defensive capabilities of the Thousand-Pound Ant are truly astonishing!
"First Soul Skill: Ice God Slash!"
Ouyang Luoxue's first spirit ring flashed beneath her feet, and a beautiful ice blade, adorned with gems, materialized in her right hand. This was Ouyang Luoxue's second spirit—the Ice God Battle Blade.
That's right, Ouyang Luoxue has twin martial souls! Her first martial soul is the Ice God Staff inherited from her mother, but it is currently in the initial stage—the Ice Spirit Staff stage. Her second martial soul is the Ice God Battle Blade, inherited from her father, Ice God Douluo.
Ouyang Luoxue slashed down, aiming directly at the Thousand-Pound Ant's right arm. The powerful force severed the Thousand-Pound Ant's right arm, not only breaking through its hard outer shell but also severing the arm itself.
This is the attack power of the Ice God Battle Blade! The strength of a Martial Soul is still the most basic basis for the strength of a Soul Master's Soul Skills. The difference is too obvious; it's clear that Nana's ice blade cannot compare to the Ice God Battle Blade.
Staring intently at its right arm as it slowly moved, the Thousand-Pound Ant's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. Gathering all its strength in its left arm, it swung it down with all its might. A slash hurtled towards the three of them, the whistling sound of it cutting through the air a testament to the sheer power of the attack.
This was the full-force attack of the Thousand-Pound Ant. The Thousand-Pound Ant's most lethal strength lies not only in its astonishing defenses, but also in its overwhelming power. It was named the "Thousand-Pound Ant" because "Thousand-Pound" signifies that it can unleash a force of a thousand pound effortlessly.
"Go for it! Third Soul Skill: Ice Dragon Guard!" Xiao Lan's third soul ring lit up, and a protective shield enveloped Ouyang Luoxue and the other two.
Just as the fierce attack was about to hit the shield—
bump--
Ouyang Luoxue and the others were not knocked away by the Thousand-Pound Ant's attack, and their protective shield remained intact, as if the attack had not landed on the Ice Dragon Guardian.
In fact, there isn't.
As the thick smoke dissipated, a little boy clad in platinum armor, holding a long sword that shone with dazzling light, stood before the three.
It was Qian Yuhan who had just entered the Star Dou Great Forest an hour before hearing the commotion and rushing over!
"Friend, it's dangerous here, you should leave quickly!" Ouyang Luoxue said, looking at the little boy in front of her who was about the same age as her.
"Hmm." Qian Yuhan didn't hear what Ouyang Luoxue said clearly, so he just gave a casual "hmm."
Seeing that he didn't move, Ouyang Luoxue called out, "Did you hear me?"
This time, Qian Yuhan truly heard what Ouyang Luoxue said and nodded in reply, "Mm."
Ouyang Luoxue: Ahhhhh, you heard that and you're still not leaving? Do you want to be buried with me?
The ant also saw another little boy approaching and prepared for a desperate battle. Despite its exhausted and heavily injured body, it charged towards the four of them.
“It’s over, you can’t leave either. Let’s try one more time. Sister Xiaolan’s soul power is not enough. Nana, you and this little brother transfer your soul power to me, and I will activate the Ice God Slash again.” Ouyang Luoxue said to Nana and Qian Yuhan.
“Okay, Luo Xue!” Nana didn’t hesitate and began transferring her soul power to Ouyang Luo Xue.
Seeing that his soul power was barely enough to unleash the Ice God Slash, but not enough to kill the Thousand-Pound Ant, he anxiously said to Qian Yuhan, "Did you hear what I just said?!"
Qian Yuhan: "Mm."
After giving a soft "hmm," he gathered his soul power into the Divine Sword of Light in his hand.
Ouyang Luoxue: This guy only says "hmm" all the time, it's so annoying! Can't he understand human language?! Ughhhhh—
Forget it...
"First Soul Skill: Ice God—"
Ouyang Luoxue prepared to unleash the Ice God Slash, but just as she was about to activate it, she suddenly saw Qian Yuhan swing his sword, unleashing a powerful slash in an instant. This dazzling slash was as swift as lightning, crashing directly into the Thousand-Pound Ant.
The moment the light slash collided with the Thousand-Pound Ant, a deafening roar erupted. Immediately afterward, a massive shockwave whipped up thick smoke, engulfing everything in its path.
Ouyang Luoxue stared wide-eyed at the scene before her in astonishment. She hadn't expected Qian Yuhan to move so quickly, actually getting there before her. Moreover, the power displayed by his strike shocked her even more.
But she quickly recovered from her shock and prepared for the battle to begin...
