Tu Ya also sensed the increase in Chu Fei's Soul Power.
Having absorbed two Soul Rings and advanced, Chu Fei had now reached level thirty. She tentatively asked, "Master, since you've reached level thirty, what about your third Soul Ring—"
Since they were already at level thirty while still in the Star Dou Great Forest, they would naturally obtain one along the way.
Chu Fei's body suddenly turned red in front of Tu Ya, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty light. His aura climbed step by step until a spider phantom fell from the void and merged into his body.
The sudden change made Tu Ya somewhat flustered, but Chu Fei merely signaled with his eyes that she need not worry.
After about thirty seconds, the multiplied Soul Power vanished instantly, leaving only a slightly weakened Chu Fei standing in place.
Tu Ya took two steps forward, reached out to steady Chu Fei, and asked gently, "Master, what was that just now?"
"That is my second Soul Skill, and the desperate killing move inherited from the Man-Faced Demon Spider—Spider God's Possession!" Chu Fei breathed a sigh of relief as he explained.
He rejoiced inwardly that it wasn't something like spinning silk.
After testing it just now, Chu Fei gradually figured out the function of Spider God's Possession. Anything regarded as a killer move by a Man-Faced Demon Spider naturally couldn't be weak.
Spider God's Possession could instantly multiply all attributes by five!
However, for now, Chu Fei could only maintain this effect for thirty seconds. This was simply because his current physical condition and Soul Power level could not support him releasing it for any longer.
If his Soul Power increased, the duration would also change.
Thirty seconds might seem extremely short, but in a life-or-death battle, a fivefold increase in all attributes for thirty seconds was enough to instantly turn the tide of battle!
Now, it was time to ponder what kind of good third Soul Ring to get.
Chu Fei patted the dust off himself and stood up, rubbing his chin as he looked at the serene Star Dou Great Forest.
With Tu Ya by his side, and with Soul Rings that were quite formidable—whether it was Tu Ya's Soft Bone Rabbit explosive eight-stage slam or Spider God's Possession—neither was comparable to ordinary Soul Skills.
Ordinary Soul Beasts couldn't catch his eye anymore; to hunt, he needed a sufficiently powerful Soul Beast.
Chu Fei's profound gaze fixed on the west, where the owner of a faintly lingering, malicious Soul Power aura was self-evident.
Soul Beasts whose territory bordered that of the Man-Faced Demon Spider were no pushovers, let alone one close to the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, meaning its strength was obvious.
A sixty-thousand-year-old Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger.
While visiting the Star Dou with Tu Ya during this period, he had already quietly memorized its territory.
A sixty-thousand-year-old Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger was Chu Fei's most ideal third Soul Ring for now. However, the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger was too powerful, and relying solely on Tu Ya would probably make it very difficult to deal with.
Tu Ya didn't overestimate her own abilities; naturally, she also knew how formidable the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger was.
To deal with the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger, they would probably need Daming and Erming to help.
Chu Fei shared this thought, so he and Tu Ya ran together toward the dwellings of Daming and Erming.
……
Inside the Star Dou Great Forest.
Erming took a bite of a banana, scratched his head, and pointed to the west as he said to Chu Fei, "So, you want us to go beat that smelly tiger in the west into the dirt?"
"Right." Chu Fei nodded.
He looked at Daming and Erming before him and laid everything out. With the help of Daming and Erming, naturally, he would have no further worries.
Generally speaking, having Soul Beasts hunt Soul Beasts was unlikely, but the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger was an extremely evil Soul Beast that relied on devouring other Soul Beasts to increase its cultivation. Much like the Man-Faced Demon Spider, it was spurned by numerous Soul Beasts.
However, the biggest difference between it and the Man-Faced Demon Spider was that the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger was strong enough, and cautious enough.
Erming slapped his thigh fiercely: "Daming and I have been wanting to go beat that smelly tiger into the dirt for a long time!"
"However, that tiger also knows it can't beat us, so as long as we show up, it deliberately hides, making it very hard to find."
"As for drawing out the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger, I'll handle it," Chu Fei said, pointing to himself. "Using myself as bait to lure it out, it definitely won't let go of fresh meat like me. When the time comes, Daming, Erming, and Tu Ya can set an ambush, and the moment it appears, make your move!"
Tu Ya asked with some worry, "Then what about your safety?"
Chu Fei said with confidence, "Rest assured, I won't die."
With the Sea of Blood, even Bibi Dong couldn't kill him; how could the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger possibly erase him?
Recalling how the Spirit Hall's pursuit earlier had failed to kill Chu Fei, Tu Ya stopped trying to dissuade him and instead began following the plan to crouch in ambush at a fixed location with Daming and Erming.
Yet this Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger was far more vigilant than Chu Fei had imagined. Several times, that aura had almost approached Chu Fei. But right at the final step, the aura would spontaneously pull back, sending other Soul Beasts to test the waters instead.
After repeating this several times, on the seventh day, it finally could no longer hold back.
Fresh, living meat kept jumping around right in front of its eyes; being able to endure until now was already a miracle.
"Roar—!" A low tiger roar rang out fiercely.
The purple-black tiger licked its lips as it gradually walked out of the jungle. Its fallen wings were folded at its sides, and its scorpion-like tail swayed wantonly.
The barb at the tip of its tail emitted a frigid, murderous gleam. It paced closer to Chu Fei with cat-like steps, its provocative gaze seeming to ask why he wasn't running away.
Run?
Chu Fei smiled knowingly. It took seven days of fishing just to catch it—it had really made him wait hard!
"Attack!"
As soon as the words fell, Tu Ya, who had been crouching in the bushes concealing her aura, instantly rushed out, while Daming and Erming bolted straight toward them after catching the aura from afar.
The Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger suddenly realized it had fallen into a trap, its black-and-gold pupils locking onto Chu Fei with intense hatred.
It had actually been tricked by a human child!
Without any hesitation, the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger turned and fled.
Unfortunately, wanting to escape was already too late.
Tu Ya closed in, her figure suddenly teleporting to block the path. She played hard to get in the face of the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger's attacks, managing the distance to buy time for Daming and Erming.
The longer it dragged on, the more anxious the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger became.
Because Daming and Erming had fiercely condensed their ultimate moves and were charging in. The cyan divine lightning capable of annihilating all things and the canopy-shattering cannon filled with compressed Soul Power were unleashed respectively.
The moment they touched, all the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger could leave behind were wails. Its aura withered away instantly, and its wings flapped continuously as it struggled desperately for its life.
If not for the fact that the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger was strong enough—other Soul Beasts eaten by such an attack would have long since turned to ash—it actually managed to hang on by a single breath and keep charging, forcefully breaking free from the attacks of the three and transforming into a streak of black phantom light that fled into the forest.
"Pursue!"
Could they really let the meat in their mouths run away?
Tu Ya brought Chu Fei and pursued Daming and Erming directly, chasing relentlessly all the way to a vast, mysterious lake.
The wilted Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger lay by the lake, trembling as it looked at the pursuers, immobilized by severe injuries.
With Tu Ya, Daming, and Erming standing by, Chu Fei walked up naturally, intending to finish off the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger and take its Soul Ring.
Yet just as Chu Fei drew close, the Darkdemons Evilgod Tiger suddenly erupted, its eyes flashing with an eerie light. A three-meter-wide black hole flashed into existence on its scorpion tail, and a massive suction force enveloped Chu Fei and pulled him inside.
"Master!"
When Tu Ya wanted to stop it, it was clearly already too late. She could only watch helplessly as Chu Fei merged into it.
