Douluo Continent: I have the Heaven-Piercing Tyrannosaurus Beast

Chapter 121 Ten Thousand Years of Silkworm Sloughing

While Xiao Yan was busy, he also turned to look at Tang San standing to the side. He immediately said, "Little San, as I just mentioned, the Purple Spirit Wolf revealed that there seems to be some treasure at the bottom of the pool. Since you also said that it is harmless, please go in and investigate what it is, and then take it out."

Upon hearing this, Tang San nodded with delight. In fact, he had been itching to make a move for a long time, and Xiao Yan had naturally noticed his little expressions.

Based on his intuition, Xiao Yan knew that the object must be deep in the pool, and it must be a rare and precious natural treasure, similar to a plant. If it was a rare and precious natural treasure, it would have to steal the fortune of the surrounding environment to grow, and it must have existed alone.

Otherwise, given the Purple Spirit Wolf's cunning, it's impossible that it wouldn't have taken it with it when it emerged from the pool. The explanation is that this is a plant similar to the immortal herb in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. Either it cannot be taken out rashly, or it doesn't know how to pick it. If it were picked casually, it would be tantamount to destroying that immortal herb.

With his Xuan Yu Hand and his Purple Demon Eye cultivation, Tang San could retrieve any kind of immortal herb from the depths of the pool.

"Agumon, you and Xiaosan sneak in together. If Xiaosan is in danger, come back up and tell us immediately."

Agumon naturally stood up and nodded, as if to guarantee the completion of the mission.

Tang San nodded, seeing that his elder brother always thought of him, truly living up to the saying that an elder brother is like a father.

The man and the beast plunged into the pool. Xiao Yan, who was on the shore, was also busy. He stuffed all the water-holding containers in his storage device into Dugu Bo's hands. Now, he stood back on the corpse of the twin purple spirit wolves, thinking about what materials he could take from this ten-thousand-year-old soul beast and sell them for money.

As a spirit-type soul beast, its two heads are undoubtedly its most valuable asset.

"Little monster, I didn't expect you to be such a money-grubber. When I was young, I was short of money to get married. Later, I became a Title Douluo, and I was invited to go everywhere. Seeing how popular you are, why don't you join the Heaven Dou Royal Family? I originally only agreed to be a guest elder there, but if you join too, I'll stay here in Heaven Dou with you and not leave."

Xiao Yan maintained his neutrality and shook his head: "Old monster, no matter where you go, there will always be people offering higher prices to poach you. That's inevitable. If you go wherever the best offer is, or wherever you're guaranteed a place to stay, others will only think you have no principles. I'm fine as I am now. I'm self-sufficient and don't lack money."

Moreover, old monster, these empires are very complex. They don't have any titled Douluo protecting their own countries, but with the power of their armies, even ordinary titled Douluo would be worn down and killed. You'd better not get too involved.

Seeing that only he and Xiao Yan were in the cave, Dugu Bo stopped what he was doing, leaned closer to Xiao Yan, and even raised an eyebrow seriously, asking, "Little monster, those two, Tang San next to you, are from the Clear Sky Sect, right?"

Although Dugu Bo had already guessed the master-servant relationship between Xiao Yan and Tang San when Tang San revealed the Clear Sky Hammer, he still wanted to confirm it again. After all, Xiao Yan's behavior did not seem like an act, and he was obviously unaware of the situation.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan did not show the shock that Dugu Bo had hoped for. He was expecting Xiao Yan's reaction when he said the words "Haotian Sect," hoping for some reaction like "What are you talking about?" or "What Haotian Sect? I don't know anything about it." However, Xiao Yan calmly nodded and then shook his head.

He was just curious in his heart. Given Tang San's personality, he would never have revealed his hammer. So how did Dugu Bo find out? Moreover, Dugu Bo asked about the Clear Sky Sect, not whether Tang San's martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Old monster, how did you figure that out?"

"Tang San must have been under too much pressure when absorbing the spirit ring, which caused him to lose control and the hammer in his left hand appeared. It's really amazing. I thought you were a genius enough, but I didn't expect you to have twin spirits. Spirit masters with twin spirits can be counted on one hand in the entire continent."

"Xiao San's second martial soul is indeed the Clear Sky Hammer, but he shouldn't be from the Clear Sky Sect. As you know, the Clear Sky Sect has been in seclusion for a long time, and he hasn't even gone to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the sect," Xiao Yan said.

"But if that's the case, why does this old Poison Douluo find this kid sinister? To be honest, I shouldn't look at people with such bitter hatred. If it weren't for your sake, I would have strangled this kind of kid with both hands."

Xiao Yan was speechless. This might be Tang San's killer instinct. But the old monster really dared to say that. If Tang Dachui heard this, not only would he be hunted down, but the Heaven Dou Empire probably wouldn't be able to protect him either. How could he have a peaceful life?

"After all, Xiao San has been missing since he was a child. Although he has a father, he grew up on his own until he was six years old, and after that, his father was no longer by his side. It's normal for him to be wary of those around him. Besides, old monster, why did you kidnap me and take me to the Yin-Yang Well for so many days right from the start? If he wasn't wary of you, would he be like Dugu Yan, smiling and calling you 'Grandpa'?"

"Go away, go away, one granddaughter is enough for me. But back then, the Clear Sky Sect offended the Spirit Hall and chose to close its gates. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible for any Clear Sky Hammer Soul Masters to be stranded on the Douluo Continent." Although that incident was a secret on the continent, these Title Douluos knew it well, since the former Pope had passed away after that day.

Bibi Dong then served as the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

"Didn't you say so yourself? Then think about it, there's another Soul Master who was expelled from the sect, and he was a Title Douluo. He was Xiao San's father."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Dugu Bo's eyes widened, and he unconsciously swallowed.

"Little monster, are you talking about Haotian...?"

"Splash." Water splashed out of the pool, and a man and a beast emerged from it, interrupting Xiao Yan and Dugu Bo's brief conversation.

Judging from the expressions on Xiao San's and Agumon's faces, it seemed that they hadn't found anything good at the bottom of the pool.

"What's wrong, Xiao San? What kind of rare treasure is at the bottom of this pool? Isn't there one?"

Xiao Yan stretched out his hands and pulled the Agumon and Tang San from the water ashore. Seeing their dejected appearance, he felt strange. After all, the Purple Spirit Wolf was on the verge of death; surely it wouldn't lie to him?

Tang San shook his head: "Brother, yes, there is, but it's very strange."

"Strange?" Even Tang San could describe something as strange, which made Xiao Yan curious.

"Big brother, this pool isn't too deep, maybe three meters at most. Agumon and I dived to the deepest part of the pool, and there we saw a white silkworm shell floating there, emitting a blue light. The silkworm shell had rings of golden patterns on it, about nine rings."

"Silkworm molting? Nine rings?" Upon hearing Tang San's description, Xiao Yan immediately thought of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. As a million-year-old intelligent soul beast of the continent, it seems that with each year of its lifespan, the golden patterns on its body will increase by one ring. If it is as Xiao San said, then the shed skin must be nine hundred thousand years old, and it must have shed from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

But this Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm comes from the far north, and it has been excavated all the way here. It shouldn't be sleeping head to head with those things from the Heavenly Emperor right now.

Even if there really was a silkworm molt, it should have been left in a cave in the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice, near the Star Dou Great Forest. In any case, it shouldn't have appeared in this Sunset Forest. But Xiao Yan didn't have time to consider any of this. His heart was already filled with joy. This was the molted skin of a nine hundred thousand-year-old soul beast! How much spiritual power could that increase?

Tang San nodded, but his expression was still not very good.

"Unfortunately, this silkworm molt was only a small piece, about the length of my forearm. In addition, the Purple Spirit Wolf used it improperly. The molt was partially consumed while soaking in the pool water. Furthermore, the Purple Spirit Wolf must have tried to swallow it. So the molt that Agumon and I saw was already a flickering candle in the wind. In other words, the molt would break at the slightest touch."

"Broken?" Xiao Yan felt regretful. So this pool of water was the last ripple left by Tianmeng's skin?

Xiao Yan believed Tang San's explanation. He thought that the entire pool contained the complete molt of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, but it turned out to be only a part of it. In that case, it was reasonable that it was broken. Who knew how many soul beasts, who did not know how to use or cherish it, had licked it during the years that the molt existed in the pool?

"It's alright, Xiao San. These rare treasures are meant to be possessed by those who are destined to receive them. We were just a little late." Seeing Tang San's regretful expression, Xiao Yan comforted him.

Although there were some regrets, Xiao Yan had already gained a lot from this trip to obtain the soul ring. Looking at the little water left in the pool, even if they pretended, it would probably take the three of them several hours to maintain the act.

He got a few empty bottles from Dugu Bo and asked Xiao San to fill them with water. Since the silkworm molts had disappeared, the remaining stagnant water should be fully utilized. Leaving the water here would only have the effect of letting it dissipate over time like ordinary water.

It would be better if all of us loaded it up, so that it could be used to its fullest potential.

He patted Agumon, indicating that he could drink and fill his cup at the same time. Although the pool water wasn't very tasty, it still had the effect of cleansing the body and soul.

……

Deep within the Star Luo Empire, at the very heart of the continent, a green-haired woman sat back in a chair beneath a towering, verdant tree, her gaze occasionally drifting to a group of people sitting cross-legged elsewhere. In the very center of the group lay an enormous, fat silkworm.

Seemingly sensing something, she murmured, "It seems that the master's idea is correct. Even though it is just a small piece of the molted skin of this ice silkworm, it can still give a spirit-type soul beast powerful spiritual strength. However, why would this yellow-orange dinosaur-shaped soul beast help humans and attack us soul beasts?"

Looking at the scene transmitted by the twin Purple Spirit Wolf before its death, the woman seemed to be deep in thought. It was she who, according to her master's wishes, gave the Purple Spirit Wolf the silkworm molt and sent it to develop in the Sunset Forest. She originally thought that with its intelligence, it should have few rivals in the Sunset Forest, and that it could even grow into a hegemon in time. But she never expected that it would still die.

"Forget it, the most important thing right now is to wait for the master to finish absorbing this ice silkworm and recover his strength. He's just a human child and can't affect the master's grand plan. How can a human's short lifespan of a little over a hundred years be enough in our long river of ten thousand years?"

"Hey, you're spying on my mind again." The woman looked up and scolded the little mythical beast hiding in the corner. Of course, there was no blame in her tone; it was still very gentle.

Between the other person's eyebrows, a third eye was shining. After being exposed, she just smiled, knowing that her aunt was the one who doted on her the most among them.

However, unlike Bi Ji, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion kept its gaze fixed on Xiao Yan in the picture.

"A human who can befriend a soul beast must be a good person, right?" she thought to herself.
