24: Golden Honey Bear Fishing Plan

Whoosh!

Flames like a long rainbow, fleeting above the Star Dou Great Forest.

Controlling his Golden Flame Eagle Martial Soul, Su Ye flew towards the northwest of the forest.

Feeling the burning sensation coming from his Martial Soul, Su Ye furrowed his brow, the killing intent towards the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in his heart growing stronger.

His first Soul Ring was entirely a fire-attribute Soul Ring, and his Martial Soul inevitably carried fire-attribute energy.

If only a single Soul Ring were attached, the Martial Soul, having fused with a large amount of sturdy metal... could completely resist the power of flames.

But as the number of Soul Rings increased, the fused fire-attribute energy also became more violent and pure.

Fire counters metal.

Even if metal is forged to be stable, as long as the power of flames reaches its critical point, the latter will still melt.

The Golden Flame Eagle Martial Soul was currently at such an awkward juncture.

"If I fuse with another ten-thousand-year fire-attribute Soul Ring, there will only be two outcomes..."

"Either the Martial Soul is swallowed by the power of flames, or I am roasted into charcoal along with it..."

Su Ye clenched his fists, a faint fear lingering in his heart, he knew this was absolutely not alarmist talk.

The energy of the Soul Ring directly affects the Martial Soul, and only then flows into the body to temper it.

If the Martial Soul is completely breached, allowing the energy of a thousand-year Soul Ring to fully surge into the body...

The physical body directly resisting a thousand-year Soul Skill??

And it would be the most fragile meridians!

The result is naturally self-evident.

Following his memory from last time, Su Ye flew all the way northwest.

An hour later.

He landed on a towering ancient tree.

The surroundings were an open flat area, bare ground, not a blade of grass grew, and there was also a large water pit.

That ancient tree was also very peculiar, its trunk diameter was about a dozen meters, the middle was struck by lightning and only about ten meters remained, and a new section grew out from the very top.

Looking from afar, it vaguely resembled a person with hair.

Standing on the treetop, looking around, Su Ye did not find the figure of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

After flying around the area, he still found nothing.

"Strange, I encountered the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear right here last time."

"Could it be that its territory isn't nearby, and it just often comes here to drink?"

Su Ye felt that something was not right in his heart.

The number of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears is extremely small; finding one in the Star Dou Great Forest would require tremendous luck.

Last time, he only came here by chance while chasing a two-thousand-year-old Fire Flamingo.

The moment he landed, a giant beast over three meters tall, like an iron tower, was gnawing on honey nearby...

At that moment, the air was solidified.

Hmm?

Suddenly, the commotion from afar made Su Ye's brows relax...

Could it be???

Swish, Su Ye immediately activated his Martial Soul Possession and flew towards the direction of the roaring sound.

Before he even got close, that dark gold figure appeared as if it were his first love, deeply imprinted in Su Ye's eyes, unable to be moved away.

Dark gold fur covered its entire body like the most solid leather armor in the world, a pair of thick arms were astonishingly exaggerated, the muscles of its shoulders bulging out like exploding mountains.

Strength, dominance, power.

This giant creature before him interpreted the sense of power possessed by fierce beasts to the extreme.

Even more noteworthy were the dark gold giant claws on its palms.

Claws over a meter long, like a guillotine, unimaginably sharp and terrifying, just a gentle swing, as if the air itself was being physically cut, emitting a hissing sound.

"This is simply... a great treasure!"

Listening to the heavy breathing of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Su Ye's eyes were burning hot, already able to imagine the surging power within his bloodline.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, an existence capable of contending with giant dragons, has the Beamon bloodline within its body.

A hundred-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can make ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts avoid it.

It is also the existence closest to Ultimate Gold.

"If I could fuse a drop of Beamon bloodline..."

Of course, Su Ye was just thinking.

Fusing the Beamon bloodline into his Martial Soul would be no different from suicide.

Energy is different from metal; it would definitely be transmitted to him. Although his body was powerful, it hadn't reached that exaggerated level yet.

Seemingly smelling a human scent, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear suddenly turned its head, and its ferocious eyes flashed with a hint of extreme scarlet.

Stopping its shaking of the large tree, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear faced him head-on, its pupils bloody and indifferent, devoid of any emotion. Angered by the human disturbing its search for food, it opened its savage giant mouth upwards.

Roar—

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared and bellowed, its voice seeming to carry astonishing power.

Su Ye felt his body being struck by an invisible wall of air, his bones creaking, which was not a pleasant feeling.

"Good, good, good!"

The more it was like this, the more excited Su Ye felt inside, and the more he felt the necessity of hunting it.

Although he had absorbed many souls, the age difference between the Soul Rings was not large, so the energy couldn't form a huge difference. The strengthening effect on his body was not 1+1=2, only about 1.2.

Having obtained nine Soul Rings of one, two, and three thousand years, and finally fusing them into a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, Su Ye's physical strength was only just approaching that of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.

Weak!

Still too weak!

Only such a top-tier bloodline can bring about a qualitative change in him.

Swish!

Having no way to deal with something that could fly, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear raised a huge rock with both paws and angrily threw it towards Su Ye in mid-air.

"......So greedy?"

Su Ye flexibly dodged, his gaze falling on the honey at the top of the ancient tree, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

That's right!

Why do I always think of solving problems with violence!

A refreshing smile curved up at the corner of his mouth, Su Ye silently put away the bow and arrow on his back, this thing might even be saved.

Every drop of blood flowing from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was flesh cut from his heart...

Having thought this, Su Ye turned around and flew away.

?????

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's eyes showed confusion. Seeing Su Ye escape, its ferocious fangs parted, emitting a human-like scoffing sound of "Tch". Not surprised by this, it continued to shake the ancient tree in front of it again.

Above, the huge honeycomb was swaying precariously.

On the other side.

Su Ye also started searching for honey in the woods, and of course, some seasonings to add.

"Given the physique of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, ordinary medicinal herbs are basically useless."

"One stalk of seventh-grade Drunken Dream Grass should be able to do it, but it will probably smell the scent."

"Hmm, add some fragrance enhancers to cover it up, so it will be even more irresistible to eat."

Carrying a basket on his back, Su Ye slowly searched in the forest, occasionally reaching out to pick some medicinal herbs and putting them into his basket.

In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened.

Su Ye lit a bonfire in a cave.

The firelight illuminated what was before him...

Eight honeycombs about as tall as him.

Over thirteen hundred stalks of Drunken Dream Grass.

Over three hundred Gan Zhi Flowers.

......

A moment later, only a glittering golden honeycomb with a soul-stirring fragrance remained here.

Meanwhile, Su Ye's nostrils were plugged with wooden stoppers, and the sound of him pounding herbs in his hand was a rapid "thump-thump".

Finally, after being roasted by the flames, the medicinal herbs in the iron bucket were completely condensed into essence.

Thinking that he, a martial artist, would use such a despicable trick, Su Ye felt extremely ashamed and unbearable.

"Martial virtue is gone, people's hearts are not ancient."

"Must use strong medicine to cure it!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The fragrant drugging medicine essence was scraped clean by Su Ye and all smeared onto the golden honeycomb.

Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear: ???

This is what you mean by people's hearts not being ancient?

This is your attitude after knowing you're wrong?

In the firelight, the young man walked out of the cave with the honeycomb, the echo of a nightmare reverberating in his shadow.

"Time to take your medicine..."
