Chapter 361: Spiny-Horned Snapping Turtle

"Sanbon Kanshou!"

"Woo!"

Dazzling light bloomed in the dark night, and the ferocious claws wrapped with lightning easily penetrated into the soft flanks. Before the blood could spurt out, it was locked inside the body by the charred muscles.

The predator lurking deep in the mud, the spiny-horned snapping turtle known for its brutality, was helplessly wailing in pain at this moment.

It never imagined that what would happen during an ordinary post-meal break would turn it into what it is now.

The claws inserted into the body used the backhand to dig at the bones from the inside, and the arms took advantage of the situation. The snapping turtle vomited blood from its mouth and danced wildly with its four legs, but nothing stopped its body from leaving the water, and then hit the boulder on the shore hard.

boom--!

The contact between the hard rock and the spine-covered carapace instantly shattered into pieces. Before the spiny-horned snapping turtle could successfully turn over after falling onto its back, the tall figure jumped forward with a powerful explosive force that was not suitable for its size. He stood up, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and hit the exposed plastron of the spiny-horned snapping turtle with a ferocious attitude like a ghost.

"go to hell!"

"Woo~!"

Suddenly, a strange cry suddenly sounded from the side, which contained some strange attraction.

There was a flash of golden light, and when the figure still in mid-air heard the voice, its bright golden pupils immediately looked in the direction of the voice with vigilance. I saw the lake water not far away becoming turbid as it churned, and then a huge black shadow broke out of the water.

It was a huge turtle head with a hook-like mouth. The dark brown skin was extremely rough, and there were tiny thorns on the neck. The blood-red pupils shimmered, revealing a fierce and hungry look.

"Ha, make money with blood." He noticed that the huge body slowly emerging from the water was actually another spiny-horned snapping turtle hiding in the darkness. He was overjoyed and laughed: "It's just the right time to save me the trouble of looking for it again!"

Before he could finish celebrating, his heavy body in mid-air suddenly froze. As if being grabbed by an invisible big hand, without any leverage, it flew fiercely towards the second spiny-horned snapping turtle.

Now my heart is so happy that I have transformed into the newly emerged spiny-horned snapping turtle. It was hiding in the mud puddle on the shore just for this moment. A weird roar came out of his mouth again, and the spikes on his body that looked like a porcupine but closer to a cone seemed to come alive. They squirmed slightly and aimed at the flying human soul master, preparing to leave dozens of them on this human soul master. A hole dripping with blood.

This is the innate ability of the Spiny-Horned Snapping Turtle. It has the ability to forcefully attract enemies based on itself. Coupled with the hard spikes on its back, it is one of the very few tortoise soul beasts that can scare every soul beast that dares to come to drink water in the lake.

After all, turtles look cute, but they actually grow up eating meat. Soul beasts are least defensive when drinking water, and it is difficult to detect attacks from underwater.

As one of the most aggressive creatures among them, the Spiny-Horned Snapping Turtle will naturally not let go of these unsuspecting fresh meats that appear before its eyes.

"careful!"

Ning Rongrong, who was watching the battle from the shore, couldn't help but exclaimed.

She couldn't understand why Gu You, who always looked calm and composed, would behave like a person with little combat experience, like rushing to start a group fight after a disagreement.

Forget about one-on-one combat. One spiny-horned snapping turtle is theoretically not enough for Gu Yu to fight with one hand. But now it's one versus two, and if he doesn't retreat to reorganize the offensive, does he think he can defeat two top-level spirit beasts that combine offense and defense at the opponent's home court?

It's obvious that a teacher who can teach students like Lanta shouldn't have such a reckless character, right?

Ning Rongrong couldn't help it any longer, and raised her right hand to summon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, preparing to fulfill her auxiliary duties.

The pagoda was filled with light, and the soul ring was glowing. Ning Rongrong opened his mouth and was about to chant the soul spell to provide assistance, but was abruptly interrupted by an arrow shot from above.

"Put it away, big brother can handle it."

"?!"

The voice was as cold as ever, the tail feathers around his feet trembled slightly, and the skin that could be broken by the blow seemed to be torn by the strong wind that penetrated the air. The best opportunity for assistance was interrupted. Ning Rongrong was about to curse, but he saw an incredible scene in front of him.

As the distance between the spikes got closer and closer, the human emotions in Gu You's eyes became increasingly indifferent. When the spikes were about to penetrate the body, the hands turned into claws stretched out like lightning, grabbed the two longest spikes, and steadily kept the two at a palm's length.

"Varied?!"

Crazy operations that were never imagined are now happening in front of everyone.

The hard carapace and sharp spines make the spiny-horned snapping turtle a fortress that combines both offense and defense. The most intuitive shortcoming of speed is also made up for by the gravity (gravity) system talent ability that can pull enemies towards you.

As a turtle soul beast with no obvious special bloodline, the Thorny-Horned Snapping Turtle's tactics can almost be said to have come to an end.

It's a pity that this dead-end tactic encountered the enemy he least wanted to face. It's not a super-powerful attack that breaks down defenses from a distance, but a terrifying power that can defy gravity head-on and defeat it.

The bulging muscles in his arms trembled slightly, and Gu You showed a satisfied expression as he felt the increasingly powerful gravity on his body.

Lanta said softly: "Brother only uses the third soul skill because he only needs to use the third soul skill. Wait and see, it will be finished soon."

The strong grip can easily break the steel pipe, but it can only leave claw marks on the spikes. Seeing this, Gu You shouted softly: "Explode the armor!"

This spirit beast is quite brave for daring to be so close to him. As a reward, in an instant, lightning burst out from Gu You's body, completely covering the spiny-horned snapping turtle like raindrops.

The head and limbs, which were not so defensive, were struck by lightning. The two mutually exclusive feelings of severe pain and paralysis appeared in its mind at the same time. The unbearable thorn-horned snapping turtle was forced to choose to retract its important head into the shell and wait for this round of attack to pass.

The tense muscles suddenly relaxed, and Gu You could not help but smile grimly when he realized that the gravity applied to his body disappeared: "Now, it's my turn."

His feet stepped heavily on the water, and his hands that were holding the spikes were exerted again. The soles of his feet wrapped in lightning kicked the head retracted into the shell, and then the arm muscles pulled it.

With a click, the two hard spikes, along with part of the carapace and flesh, were pulled off the shell of the thorn-horned snapping turtle by Gu You.

"Woo——!"

The pain that struck the depths of the soul made the thorn-horned snapping turtle, which was shrinking in the shell, couldn't help but stick out its head and let out a shrill scream.

The turtle shell is divided into three layers. The top stratum corneum and the middle bone layer have no nerves, so it is okay even if they are broken. But the bottom inner membrane layer has nerves and is close to the internal organs, so when the damage reaches the inner membrane layer, the pain will even reach the internal organs.

Obviously, Gu You's actions caused real damage. The splashing blood stuck to his face, adding a bit of horror.

"Ah, sorry, I'll give it back to you now."

"Woo--!!!"

"Wow~" The person who couldn't control the sound from his mouth became Yufeng.

Seeing Gu You thoughtfully turning the thorns he had pulled out and then returning them to the snapping turtle with a grim smile, and the snapping turtle twitching all over and two columns of blood spurting out of its back, Yufeng couldn't help but ask, "I shouldn't have done anything that might make the captain angry during this period, right?"

"We think..." "It's hard to say."

Shi Mo and Shi Mo looked at each other and opened their mouths at the same time: "This morning."

"Outside the forest."

"Everyone is serious."

"Only you are joking."

After a pause, the two looked at Yufeng, whose facial muscles were gradually stiffening, and said, "So..." "My condolences."

The twin brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo completed the conversation that only twins could do in tacit understanding. Yufeng rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Thank you for your comfort. I feel good and I'm ready to write a will."

Ranta, who was standing on the tree, put down the bowstring that was fully drawn just in case, and supported his forehead with one hand. I always feel that leaving it alone will hurt my brother's reputation, so I can only say helplessly: "Don't worry, my brother doesn't take it to heart."

"It doesn't matter if you joke around, as long as you are serious when you need to be serious."

"That's great." Hearing Lanta's words, Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, as if he was happy that he could walk out of the Sunset Forest alive. Looking around, he asked in a slightly servile tone: "Captain, do you want me to go up and help?"

Hearing this, Lanta almost couldn't help rolling his eyes. He shook his head and said: "No, this place is not suitable for you to perform."

When Yufeng said to go up to help, he didn't mean to fly into the air to help Gu You fight the soul beast, but to go up to help Lanta guard the surroundings.

Ning Rongrong has good eyesight, but as a suicidal agility attack soul master, Yufeng can see Gu You's true strength more clearly. The three-ring fight against the four-ring Yu Tianheng is like a toy. Two soul beasts of more than 7,000 years old are not necessarily a threat.

After Gu You left, Yu Feng was a warrior who had trained with Yu Tianheng. The process was so miserable that only those who saw it could cry.

The Shi brothers around him were the same. They had also trained hard with Yu Tianheng. Therefore, in the eyes of these three people, the two soul beasts who were in danger were the ones who didn't know what was good for them, not Gu You who surrounded them with his own strength.

Rejected by Lanta, Yu Feng spread his hands and didn't force help. Sunset Forest was really not suitable for him to play, and the advantages brought by flying ability were gone.

As long as the soul master has the ability to fly, they are usually specially trained by their parents and teachers in the direction of agility attack. Unless it is a divine beast martial spirit such as dragon or phoenix, even a powerful eagle martial spirit will also go in the direction of agility attack.

For nothing else, it is to maximize the advantage of flying.

The unique bird's-eye view, the mobility and quick reaction ability that ignores the terrain, and the three-dimensional combat model that can be cultivated by air combat, plus long-range attack means. Even if the Douluo people didn't summarize these characteristics, they knew that flying soul masters should go the agile attack route based on experience.

Unfortunately, these advantages are not suitable for hunting souls in the forest.

The treetops will block the view from above, and the intertwined branches and vines and the occasional spider webs will teach every creature that tries to fly under the treetops a lesson. In addition, rashly taking off may be regarded as a provocation by soul beasts. After comprehensive consideration, Gu You did not arrange the team's only agile attack flying soul master to serve as a scout, but let Lanta, who is agile and has rich hunting experience, lead the way in front.

"Shi Mo, Shi Mo, are you ready?"

Although the fight has not yet ended, it is now clear that the winner has been decided. Lanta took over the work left by Gu You very naturally and asked, "I gave you the report yesterday afternoon. You should have finished reading it now, right?"

"Yes," Shi Mo replied, "I have finished reading it and have no objection."

Shi Mo also replied immediately, "Me too."

Seeing that neither of them had any objection, Lanta turned his gaze back to Gu You who was still playing with his prey, "That's good. Your martial soul development direction is quite special. It would be troublesome to ask for too much."

Except for Ye Lingling, who has not been studied in depth, and Dugu Yan, who is not worth taking care of for the time being, the remaining five people, one by one, have strange moves that are confusing to Gu You.

It’s okay that Yu Tianheng didn’t go for full strengthening and amplification. The innate advantage of the Dragon Martial Soul plus the unique dragon transformation secret method of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, with or without strengthening soul skills, as long as it is not in the extreme game, the problem is not too big.

As for Yufeng’s physical attack wind chime bird, it was chosen by his father. There is no way. Although Oslo’s muscle Tyrant Wind Ghost Leopard is very strange, it is not a road that cannot be taken, and there is still a chance to reach the top.

Although the moves of the first three are strange, they are barely acceptable. The moves of the last Shi brothers can only be described as weird.

They have a beast martial soul that is famous for strengthening all aspects, but they did not continue to dig deep into the potential of the beast martial soul. Instead, they used soul skills to turn the good beast martial soul into a weapon martial soul and used it as a shield. Every time he saw the figures waving shields to block, Gu You always felt that through them, he could see the shadow of someone who would be beaten with a shield in ten thousand years.

Well, everyone has their own ambitions, so forget it. According to the needs of the two, they have to find the same soul beast and configure the same soul skills every time they hunt souls, which is a big trouble.

According to Gu You's initial idea, since your martial soul is called Xuanwu Turtle, whether there is a related bloodline or not, it will definitely not be wrong to develop in the direction of Beizhi Xuanwu, one of the four elephants.

According to legend, Xuanwu was born from the fusion of Baxia, the sixth son of the nine sons of the dragon, and Teng Snake, another mythical beast. In other words, if you want the Xuanwu Turtle of Shimoshimo to successfully evolve into Xuanwu, you must first find a way to let them obtain the power of the dragon clan, and then find a Teng Snake with enough strength to make up for the power of water control, and the evolution will be successful.

It looks simple, but Gu You was stuck in the matter of obtaining the power of the dragon clan.

Douluo Continent is not a dragon clan, and there is no such thing as bathing in dragon blood will pollute the bloodline, not to mention that two Teng Snakes are needed. To make the Black Tortoise evolve into a real Black Tortoise, it is bound to become a long-lasting and difficult challenge.

Gu You couldn't make a decision, so he made the interests clear to the two. The Shi brothers also understood the difficulties, so they also put forward their own suggestions: "Successful evolution is good, and failure is not a big deal, as long as it can fight."

The answer is very consistent with their characteristics, and Gu You is also much more relaxed, so he has the soul beast of the selected Spiny Horned Snapping Turtle.

Not long after, the battle subsided. Gu You dragged the Spiny Horned Snapping Turtle with its limbs twisted into a knot back to the shore, and threw a lightning bolt to the one that had not yet turned over, and said: "Prickly Horned Snapping Turtle between 7,200 and 7,500 years old, you can choose one to fight."
