Douluo: The True Eye

However, as the Child of the Douluo Continent's Plane, the transmigrator also inherited the destiny and luck that originally accompanied Huo Yuhao.

For those chosen by destiny, the so-called smooth sailing does not exist; on them, the so-called 'no surprises' is often the most surprising thing.

According to the original plan, Huo Yuhao had already led his soul-hunting team to the territory originally occupied by the Big-Headed Spirit Ape's tribe.

And what Huo Yuhao was targeting this time was precisely the soul ring of the Big-Headed Spirit Ape's leader, a Big-Headed Spirit Ape whose cultivation had just broken through a thousand years.

With Huo Yuhao's current physical fitness, although it was a bit of a stretch, with the help of Tianmeng Iceworm, and coupled with his current physical condition, absorbing a thousand-year soul ring was more than enough.

It's just that there have been some subtle changes in the information shared with Huo Yuhao by Tianmeng Iceworm after covering and probing this jungle with his mental power.

At this time, this jungle was unusually quiet, and it was also difficult to find traces of other soul beasts' activities. Only Huo Yuhao could keenly discern the concealed traces through the Eye of Truth.

'What's going on? Although the Big-Headed Spirit Ape's intelligence is considered relatively strong among soul beasts, concealing traces of activity in their own territory shouldn't be in line with their habits.'

'Has something else changed?' While thinking, Huo Yuhao also made a gesture of caution to the others.

At this moment, Lie Yong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Something's not right. We should have entered the territory of some kind of soul beast, and it should be a relatively troublesome one. Be careful."

Subsequently, the soul power aura of the Soul Saint rose, and a pressure like raging fire spread around. Even though Huo Yuhao and the others were not targeted by Lie Yong, they still felt a sense of suffocation due to the great difference in soul power.

And as Lie Yong's soul power swept outward, the originally quiet dense forest also began to become restless. Some weak soul beasts in the distance fled away, while the powerful soul beasts in the farther distance showed their auras to confront Lie Yong's soul power.

However, due to the issue of soul beasts' territorial awareness, those ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the deeper areas, although they also began to become restless, did not easily cross their own territories to deal with Lie Yong.

Huo Yuhao and the others also entered the state of martial soul possession, vigilantly observing the surroundings. Under the pressure of Lie Yong's soul power aura, the soul beasts originally hidden in this territory exposed their auras.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" On the treetops, one after another, apes and monkeys emitted high-pitched ape cries, and at the same time, the surrounding trees began to move without wind, and the movement gradually approached Huo Yuhao and the others.

Subsequently, in the dim dense forest, one after another, glowing eyes stared closely at Huo Yuhao and his group.

Among them, there were also a few with strong auras, and the size of their heads far exceeded that of other Big-Headed Spirit Apes. Obviously, they were close to, or had just reached, the thousand-year level of Big-Headed Spirit Apes.

Lie Yong's face was a little ugly. He had now also entered the state of martial soul possession, and his whole person had transformed into a humanoid lion, with flame-like hair turning into a long mane scattered and burning behind him.

At the same time, he was also covered with armor resembling molten lava. This was the complete form of his martial soul, the Molten Fire Lion.

Through the treetops, one after another, Big-Headed Spirit Apes with strength around a hundred years were watching Huo Yuhao and his group.

There were about thirty of these soul beasts. For Lie Yong, a Soul Saint from Shrek Academy, they were naturally nothing, but it should be known that apart from himself, there were still four weak students in the entire team.

Moreover, the attacks of spiritual-attribute soul beasts have always been known for being unpredictable, unpreventable, and treacherous.

Although Big-Headed Spirit Apes are regarded as auxiliary-type beast martial souls among soul masters, this is not the case in the natural environment.

Due to their gregarious nature, the Big-Headed Spirit Ape tribe can innately temporarily bless a portion of their own mental power to other members of the tribe, or amplify the mental power of other members.

With this, coupled with the Big-Headed Spirit Ape's exceptionally powerful innate mental power, the Big-Headed Spirit Ape can often defeat enemies whose individual strength far exceeds the tribe's average strength by relying on the power of the entire tribe.

The Big-Headed Spirit Apes themselves are also vegetarians and will not actively attack other soul beasts, so ordinarily, soul beasts below the ten-thousand-year level rarely choose to come and seek trouble with the Big-Headed Spirit Apes.

And the Big-Headed Spirit Apes' natural enemies are mostly other soul beasts of the spiritual attribute, because except for some leaders of the spiritual soul beasts that have mutated within the tribe, spiritual soul beasts generally act alone.

And the Big-Headed Spirit Apes' brains can make up for the lost mental power for those solitary spiritual-attribute soul beasts, and even have the effect of increasing the foundation of mental power, which is very beneficial for spiritual-attribute soul beasts.

Therefore, some powerful spiritual-attribute soul beasts will specifically harass the Big-Headed Spirit Ape's tribe by means of sneak attacks, and snatch away Big-Headed Spirit Apes that are acting alone for hunting before the Big-Headed Spirit Apes have reacted and entered a complete state of combat.

Therefore, the Big-Headed Spirit Ape, a soul beast that has both self-protection ability and is a sweet pastry in the eyes of solitary spiritual-attribute soul beasts, rarely has particularly successful powerhouses or tribes existing while possessing a certain population size.

It's just that this Big-Headed Spirit Ape tribe seems to be a little different. In Huo Yuhao's eyes, hidden in the depths of the jungle's shadows, the soul power structure and mental power within one of the soul beasts are very different from those of other Big-Headed Spirit Apes, and are much stronger.

Its soul power level is probably around a thousand years, but its mental power far exceeds ordinary thousand-year soul beasts, and can even compete with some ten-thousand-year soul beasts that are not good at mental power.

'Eh? Three-Eyed Demonic Ape, strange, I didn't discover the existence of this kind of guy in the periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest during my previous mental power detection.'

'Moreover, normally speaking, the Three-Eyed Demonic Ape tribe and the Big-Headed Spirit Ape are not the same tribe. Why would this guy appear here?'

Tianmeng Iceworm's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's sea of spirit. When he felt that the situation was not right, Huo Yuhao awakened the originally sleeping Tianmeng Iceworm through mental sharing.

‘Could it be that it was attracted by your previous mental power fluctuations?’ Huo Yuhao communicated with Tianmeng Iceworm through mental sharing.

‘Well, it's also possible, no, this Three-Eyed Demonic Ape shouldn't be an ordinary Three-Eyed Demonic Ape, it may be some kind of mutated soul beast, so it was exiled from the mixed zone.’

‘The Three-Eyed Demonic Ape is good at creating fear and mental control. I can feel that its mental power frequency is very different from that of ordinary Three-Eyed Apes. Its mutation direction should be to enhance the command-type mental ability.’

‘Moreover, I can feel that, compared to ordinary Three-Eyed Demonic Monkeys, the aura on this guy is even more sinister and dark. It should be mutating in the direction of an Evil Soul Beast.’

‘This should also be why this Great-Headed Spirit Monkey group, which originally numbered around sixty, now only has thirty-odd members left.’

‘It's no wonder it can become the leader of this Great-Headed Spirit Monkey group. After all, the racial bloodline level of the Three-Eyed Demonic Monkey itself, coupled with the added benefit of being a mutated individual, is much stronger than that of ordinary Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys.’

‘Tsk tsk, it seems you guys are in big trouble this time. A mutated Three-Eyed Demonic Monkey, plus this group of thirty Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys, won't be easy to deal with.’

Because the mutated Three-Eyed Demonic Monkey's aura had been shielded by it using its mental power, Lie Yong, whose attention was focused on the surrounding Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys, didn't notice the other party's hiding place.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with deep apprehension. Soul Beasts that move in groups are already troublesome, let alone Mental-type Soul Beasts.

He had only temporarily forced back the Soul Beast groups here with the strength of a Soul Sage, but he didn't expect these Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys to dare attack them. Were they courting death?

Then, Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to an inconspicuous patch of grass in the distance: “I can feel that there seems to be a very subtle mental fluctuation in that place, but it's very inconspicuous among the mental power radiated by the Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys.”

Hearing this, Lie Yong raised an eyebrow. Although he was also a Soul Sage powerhouse, he was not proficient in the use of mental power. It was just that the Soul Power brought about by his strength and the increased mental power allowed him to be less susceptible to the influence of Mental-type Soul Skills.

However, under the interference of the mental power frequencies emitted by a large number of Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys, he had not distinguished the existence of the Three-Eyed Demonic Monkey. He saw Lie Yong roar at this time, directly transforming into the form of his Martial Soul Avatar, and then the sixth Soul Ring under his feet shone.

From behind him, a crimson lion covered in molten armor and made of Soul Power directly attacked the direction Huo Yuhao was looking at.

Along with it was the light of Lie Yong's fifth Soul Skill, and a scarlet sonic wave, under Lie Yong's conscious control, struck the few strongest Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys.

Those few Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys had no time to dodge and could not resist. After being hit by the sonic wave, they fell directly from the tree, seriously injured and unconscious.

Seeing this situation, all the Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys screamed anxiously. Then, several hundred-year-level Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys had fear in their eyes, but they desperately pounced towards the molten lion transformed by Lie Yong's sixth Soul Skill.

However, how could hundred-year-level Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys rely on their already weak physical strength to hinder a Soul Sage's sixth Soul Skill after activating the Martial Soul Avatar's amplification?

Even before being hit by the Soul Skill, these Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys used the Soul Power and mental power in their bodies to prop up a shield on the outside, but this shield was like a punctured bubble, and did not play any hindering role.

This can be said to be attacking what the enemy must save, capturing the king first. Although Lie Yong was constrained by the presence of the students, he also chose to believe that these students could protect themselves in the first instance.

Then, he prepared to solve the leader of these Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys at the fastest speed, because although the Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys were organized and disciplined.

But it is precisely because of this that their biggest weakness is exposed. Still that sentence, although the Great-Headed Spirit Monkey is quite intelligent, it is still a Soul Beast after all.

They can never achieve strict orders and unified actions by themselves. There must be other Soul Beasts commanding and ruling behind the scenes.

And this kind of rule also has its drawbacks. Although it can maximize the strength of the Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys, once the ruler itself is threatened, then the Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys that are controlled and affected must give priority to the ruler.

Since this is the case, Lie Yong directly made the fastest decision, besieging Wei to rescue Zhao, forcing the Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys to give up attacking the weaker students and turn to support their leader.

In this way, the rhythm of the battle can be re-mastered in his own hands. In this case, although the number of Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys is large, it is not difficult for an elite Soul Sage to kill or repel them.

Under Lie Yong's intentional control, he slowed down the offensive of the molten lion, giving the soul beast leader behind the scenes sufficient reaction time, taking the opportunity to reduce the number of Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys as much as possible.

With just one blow, a dozen Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys were either dead or injured, but at the same time, the power of Lie Yong's sixth Soul Skill was also greatly reduced, and then it was broken by a purple dark Soul Power in the shadows.

After that, Huo Yuhao felt a slight ripple in his sea of ​​spirit, and then he only heard Tianmeng Ice Silkworm snort.

'Hmph, little monkey still wants to touch my people. Yuhao, it's him. Although its age is only about 1,100 years, it should be very suitable for you. With me here, you can safely absorb its soul ring.'

'As for the lack of its soul ring's age, I will help you improve it with my spiritual power source in the future. I guarantee that all your soul rings will be at the 100,000-year level!'

Huo Yuhao responded, 'Yes, but the most important thing now is not this.' He shot out like lightning, and dozens of silver needles flew out quickly, piercing the acupoints around the other three students.

Before these students could react, they fell straight to the ground, and at the same time they were still muttering something indistinctly in their mouths, and their eyes became dull.

Obviously, at this time, their limbs could no longer obey the commands of their brains. Huo Yuhao then said: "Teacher Lie, the guy hiding wants to use mental power to influence us. I can't resist it for long. Please make a quick decision."

Then Huo Yuhao activated the pre-prepared third-level soul power circuit · Refraction. The surrounding Great-Headed Spirit Monkeys saw that their boss's mental control methods had failed, and they screamed repeatedly. For a time, there were no other effective attack methods.
