Chapter 96: Mirage Dragon Appears
The boundless sea appears blue and deep.

Every night, the lightless ocean is like an abyss that swallows everything, which makes people feel terrified.

Although for the strong, going out to sea is generally not very dangerous.

But even with the Super Douluo Du Bu Si leading the team, and five Titled Douluos supporting them, the journey was not very smooth.

The group did not take the ship. For the titled strongmen whose soul power was above level 90, the ship would only slow down their movement.

As for the supply of materials on the road, in addition to the edible sea soul beasts in the sea, every Titled Douluo has enough supplies in his storage soul guide.

Moreover, the islands encountered along the way can also replenish the missing supplies. After all, for the Body Sect, going out to sea to hunt soul beasts has become their daily routine for thousands of years.

The rich resources contained in the ocean are enough to support the stable development of a hidden sect like theirs.

Because of this, the Body Sect has come up with a set of action plans on how to go out to sea to hunt souls.

On the boundless ocean, a group of powerful men from the Body Sect were gathered together with Huo Yuhao on a raft floating on the ocean.

At this time, Huo Yuhao was in charge of controlling the stability of the raft through his soul power, while the other Titled Douluo were meditating and regulating their breathing to restore their soul power.

Nowadays, only Super Douluo are qualified to condense soul cores. As the patent of Super Douluo, the soul master world knows very little about soul cores.

This also led to the fact that due to the lack of knowledge about soul cores, few Titled Douluo were able to condense them when they broke through.

The scarcity of soul core owners also means that most people don't know much about how to condense soul cores. Therefore, even for Titled Douluo, their soul power cannot be kept full at all times.

After each exploration of the deep sea, even if they did not find the target soul beast for Huo Yuhao, the Titled Douluo of the Body Sect would need to take a short rest to restore their soul power.

It’s a pity that in the vast ocean, if you want to find a suitable 100,000-year soul beast without the cooperation of many strong people, such an action is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Damn it, wasn't there a report before saying that a hundred thousand year old soul beast was spotted here? How come it's gone?" Du Bu Si cursed.

Another Title Douluo said helplessly, "Sect Master, this happened three years ago. The movement of soul beasts in the ocean follows the ocean currents, which is far less stable than soul beasts on land."

"Before, they only said that they suspected that they had discovered traces of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Even if it is true, so many years have passed, and we don't know when it will come back."

Du Bu Si naturally knew about this situation, but along the way, they searched for several sea areas that might be home to hundred thousand year old soul beasts according to the information that the disciples of the Body Sect had previously discovered during their explorations at sea.

But without exception, nothing was gained, although most of the information was about hundred thousand year soul beasts that had nothing to do with hundred thousand year spiritual attribute soul beasts.

However, in addition to hunting spirit rings for Huo Yuhao, if they can kill one or two more hundred thousand year old spirit beasts, the resources contained in them will be enough for the Body Sect to train a few more powerful warriors.

"Okay, now that everything has almost recovered, let's prepare to move to another place. Damn, there probably isn't anything left in the shallow sea area now, so we have to go deeper." Du Bu Si said with a frown.

The sea area where they are now is not far from Douluo Continent. Except for the coastal area, the deepest sea area in this offshore area is only five or six kilometers, and most of the sea soul beasts living there have a cultivation level of only thirty or forty thousand.

Moreover, with the rapid development of soul guides in recent years, the competition for resources among humans on the continent has become increasingly fierce, so now human forces have gradually begun to explore the ocean.

Perhaps because of this, human exploration has led to significant changes in the ecological system of the offshore soul beast population. It is also possible that due to other reasons, there are no gains so far.

But no matter what, since he has gone out in person this time to kill Du Bu Si, there is no reason for him to return empty-handed!
After everyone had rested for a while, Huo Yuhao directly used his soul power to control the raft floating on the sea and disintegrated it and stored it in the storage soul guide.

Du Bu Si grabbed Huo Yuhao with one hand and continued to fly towards the deeper parts of the ocean with everyone else.

Be it the storms along the way, the attacks by sea soul beasts, or those short-sighted soul master pirate groups, they were unable to pose any obstacle to the powerful group from the Body Sect.

In this way, after drifting for another month, Du Bu Si brought Huo Yuhao and others to an uninhabited island isolated in the ocean.

"Let's rest here first." It was already late when everyone arrived at the island.

The area of ​​this island is not large, but the mental power of Super Douluo Du Bu Si is more than enough to cover it.

After scanning the island several times with his spiritual power, Du Bu Si said, "There is no danger on this island. It seems that there are no soul beasts over a hundred years old."

"Let's set up camp first. When tomorrow morning comes, we will follow this island and set off to continue exploring the deep sea. I don't believe that we can't find a 100,000-year soul beast."

Hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly, and Huo Yuhao followed Du Bushi and worked with everyone to quickly use the supplies stored in the storage soul guide to set up a camp for rest.

Everyone in the Body Sect is a Titled Douluo. Even though they have been sleeping in the open air these days, their spirits and physical strength are still well preserved.

Even Huo Yuhao, who had a lower level of cultivation, had a good physique due to various opportunities. Although they were said to be resting, in fact, each of them took turns to regulate their breathing for about half an hour.

The main reason why everyone wanted to wait for the sky to brighten again and the sun to rise before exploring.

After all, the danger of the ocean at night is far different from that during the day. In addition to the nocturnal sea soul beasts that will start to wander out, some soul beast groups that originally only moved in the deep sea will also surface at night.

Although it was not a threat to everyone, searching at night when sea soul beasts were active was still much more troublesome.

After all, a hundred thousand year soul beast is not that stupid. Once it is disturbed by the momentum of the fight between the Titled Douluo and the sea soul beast, it is very likely that it has already fled when it finds that its main sect has more people and more power.

During the training, Huo Yuhao, who had not suffered much loss in the exploration along the way, was adjusting the direction of his own destiny through the Eye of Truth. The 100,000-year soul beast was extraordinary, and was different from the 100,000-year evil eye tyrant that was destined to be Huo Yuhao's soul ring in the original work.

As a hundred thousand year old soul beast, it has been able to grow to this stage. Its origin, bloodline, and luck are all extraordinary. It is naturally not easy to hunt it down.

However, the power of luck of Huo Yuhao and his group is even greater. With Huo Yuhao's continuous adjustments over the past few days, he now has a vague feeling that they may be able to gain something in the next few days.

The next day, when the sky was bright, everyone began to search for the whereabouts of the hundred thousand year old sea soul beast again.

The sun is shining brightly, and at the coast, water vapor is rising and clouds are lingering, which creates a unique artistic conception.

Several Title Douluo dived again, and even though they went 8,000 meters deep under the sea, they were still in vain. However, Huo Yuhao suddenly said, "Master, there seems to be something wrong with this mist."

Du Bu Si sneered: "Humph, it seems that this beast has set its sights on us. But it's just his bad luck that he just happened to run into our gunpoint."

"You guys protect Yuhao for me. I'll take care of this beast!"

Du Bu Si's figure flashed, and a giant figure several dozen meters tall and dark green in color appeared on the sea.

At the same time, several Titled Douluo quickly took action and cooperated closely. These Titled Douluo were all veteran strong men.

The tacit understanding between them was honed over decades. As light and shadows flowed, they used various means to protect Huo Yuhao.

"Hmph, you still want to be a coward and not come out? Then don't come out!" Du Bu Si shouted, and a dark green light illuminated the sky and sea, illuminating the surrounding environment in the same color.

But his methods were not limited to this. Because Huo Yuhao was still nearby at this time, in order to ensure that this attack was foolproof, Du Bu Si showed no mercy and directly used his own innate poison.

As the poison spread along with its dark green soul power, large numbers of sea soul beasts in the surrounding seas were poisoned and died. At the same time, an area with a contrasting color to the dark green soul power of Du Busi was also revealed.

It turned out that at some unknown time, a mist of water that was the same color as the sea and sky, which actually concealed a huge amount of soul power, floated to a position not far from Huo Yuhao and the others.

"Hahaha, good, good, it's easy to get. No wonder it came to my door. I just found out that it's a mirage dragon. It's just right to be Yuhao's sixth soul ring!"

Du Bu Si's laughter was like thunder at this time, and his soul ring was seen flashing continuously. Under the multiple pressures of his innate poison and his soul power, soul skills, and combat skills, the mist became thinner and thinner.

And in the clouds, a looming dragon shadow gradually appeared and rose.

Unlike the dragon they were looking for, this dragon shadow was streamlined all over, and had no dragon wings. Only the occasional dragon roar and the implicit dragon might revealed its identity as a close relative of the dragon clan.

As its domain was compressed to less than ten meters by Du Bu Si's soul power, the mirage dragon roared angrily and seemed to be determined to fight to the death with Du Bu Si.

But Du Bu Si took the initiative to attack. His dark green soul power revealed a little golden light, which attached to his fist and accompanied Du Bu Si's punch.

Everything Du Bu Si had done before was to lull the mirage dragon into complacency and make it misjudge Du Bu Si's strength and think that it still had some strength left, so it did not try to escape.

As Du Bu Si threw a punch, the water mist that had been barely resisting Du Bu Si's poison was suddenly destroyed like a dead tree or rotten wood, and was invaded by Du Bu Si's poison.

At the same time, the mist dissipated, and a huge shell, about the same size as Du Bu Si, floated in the air.

The shell is dotted with stars, as beautiful as the starry sky, and at the same time it contains an extremely powerful force, as if it will release terrible power at any time.

The dragon shadow in the fog before was nothing more than the light emitted by a huge bright pearl in its mouth.

As the clouds and mist dissipated, the light emitted by the huge pearl gradually dimmed. The light kept changing, but was constantly compressed by the dark green soul power around it. No matter how it rushed left and right, it could not escape Du Bu Si's control.

Du Bu Si did not focus his attention on the seemingly extraordinary shell, but instead focused on controlling the huge pearl, which was the true form of the Mirage Dragon. It was not a dragon, but a shellfish. Although it had dragon blood, it was not much.

At the same time, in order to purify the bloodline and maximize the ability of the dragon clan, the mirage dragon will concentrate its own dragon bloodline after 10,000 years of cultivation.

It will condense into a dragon ball, and as time goes by, the effect of the dragon ball will become more and more powerful. When it successfully breaks through the 100,000 years of cultivation, the dragon ball blood contained in this dragon ball will be extremely pure.

It is in no way inferior to true dragon species such as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and only after a hundred thousand years of cultivation will it be qualified to be called a mirage dragon.

Moreover, after this transformation, its original shellfish body is no longer its real body. This dragon ball and the soul crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant can be said to be similar in nature.

However, compared to soul crystals that can only store soul and mental power, the Mirage Dragon's dragon ball, in addition to being a carrier of soul and spirit, also condenses all of its blood essence and its lifelong cultivation.

“Humph, if this mirage dragon has a cultivation base of nearly 200,000 years, it would be difficult for me to defeat it so easily. However, this mirage dragon has probably just broken through the 100,000-year level, and it should still be injured.”

Du Bu Si waved his hand, and the dragon ball of the mirage dragon fell into his hand. As expected, there was a faint crack in it, with barely detectable lightning flashing in it.

At this moment, the huge shell lost all its luster and sank into the deep sea. As it continued to sink, its shape gradually dissipated and could no longer be maintained.

"Turning reality into illusion and illusion into reality, the Mirage Dragon is indeed worthy of its reputation. However, if we can absorb it, as a legendary dragon species, its spirit rings and spirit bones will surely provide you, Yuhao, with many benefits."

Du Bu Si’s figure gradually shrank, and then he stepped on the waves and returned to Huo Yuhao, who was protected by five Titled Douluo.
