At this time, the three people noticed that the "mountain range" that had just risen was not a real mountain range, but the dorsal fin of the huge soul beast in front of them.
I saw it howling towards the sky, and the sound waves blew away all the dust around it. It leaped into the air like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and then sank into the sand.
Gu You opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at the scene in front of him.
With the leap just now, Gu You was able to see the entire length of the soul beast in front of him.
Although the distance was quite far, Gu You could see it clearly from such a distance. With a simple calculation, he could figure out that the main body of the soul beast was at least four hundred meters long. If the fangs were included, it would be even longer.
The soul beast that had dived into the sand surfaced again and rushed straight towards the three people.
Looking at the "mountain range" getting closer and closer, Tang San asked: "Is this mountain getting closer and closer to us?"
Gu You opened his mouth wide, looking at the "mountains" getting closer and closer and the sandstorm that was being raised, "Ah, you are right."
“Run, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”
Gu You held Tang San in one hand and Nightingale in the other, then turned around and rushed toward the periphery.
In order to find the right firefly sunflower, the three of them have reached the deepest part of the central area. If they take a few more steps, they will officially enter the Great Sand Sea.
Although the ground beneath his feet looked like the ground, it was actually made of sand held together by the roots of the firefly sunflowers. In essence, it was still sand, not real ground, and it definitely could not stop this soul beast.
Gu You's martial spirit possessed him, and his three spirit rings lit up at the same time. His second spirit skill "Explosion Mode Zero" and the third spirit skill "Unnamed" simultaneously enhanced Gu You's speed. Even his "survival instinct" was used by Gu You to escape.
The heavy exoskeleton that had been strengthened by the Jade Bead Beast shrank slightly, and the overall shape was a bit streamlined. The ring at the top of the tail emitted golden lightning, and the gaps in the exoskeleton flowed with golden light, forming a sharp contrast with the purple lightning wrapped around the body.
Gu You held Tang San in one hand and Nightingale in the other, like a velociraptor, a purple-gold figure flashed across the ground, leaving a scorch mark.
'Faster, faster.'
Listening to the sound getting closer and closer behind him, Gu You's feet felt like they were stepping on a hot pot, and the frequency was so fast that afterimages appeared.
The speed of this soul beast is not as clumsy as it looks. In the yellow sand, it closes the distance between itself and Gu You at an extremely unscientific speed.
Nightingale finally came to her senses and no longer cared about her aloof personality. She said hurriedly, "This is Fengshanlong. Get out of the desert."
After she finished speaking, she completed the martial spirit possession. Her arms turned into wings, and she broke free from Gu You and flew into the air. Seven soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and three black, were seen shining on her body.
Gu You didn't care about Nightingale. He couldn't take care of a spirit master who controlled the wind, so he didn't notice that Nightingale was no longer a spirit emperor, but a seven-ring spirit saint.
The seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body, the fourth soul skill, Tailwind, and the fifth soul skill, Wind Barrier were activated. Gu You's speed suddenly doubled, and Nightingale flew in front of him to reduce wind resistance.
"We're here! Xiao San!"
Seeing the wasteland in front of him, Gu You jumped up, put Tang San down in the air, gathered strength in both hands, and struck the ground with the greatest force he could now exert.
Gu You didn't need to say much. Tang San took out several specially made curved steel plates from the soul guide in the air, and used blue silver grass as ropes to tightly combine them into a semicircular cover.
Then with a wave of his hand, the blue silver grass tied to the Nightingale hanging in the air and pulled her over, just in time to fall into the big pit made by Gu You. Then the cover fell from the air and completely covered the big pit made by Gu You.
"Ho~~~"
The huge soul beast, which had completely ignored the three little ants, saw that it had reached the edge of the great sand sea. It turned sideways and slammed its body heavily into the rock wall below, raising a sand wave more than ten meters long.
The jet nozzle on its dorsal fin gushed out heavy air waves, turning the original sand waves into a sandstorm, and the raging sand that covered the sky and the sun rushed from the center to the periphery.
.........
"Here we come, everyone get ready!"
At supply point No. 23, looking at the sandstorm coming in the distance, the sturdy man who had met Gu You twice shouted, waved his right hand, and a brown sledgehammer appeared in his hand.
The last two of the six soul rings surrounding him lit up. The sturdy man raised the hammer and smashed it on the ground. A huge earth wall rose up, protecting the supply point No. 23.
The sandstorm mercilessly enveloped the entire shelter.
.........
“It symbolizes the power of nature and is the embodiment of natural disasters.”
Di Tian said slowly: "It has no reason, only instinct. It cannot communicate, just like a natural phenomenon. Whether we are soul beasts or humans, it is impossible to communicate with rain clouds, lightning, and strong winds."
Tang San took out a soul-guiding bone-piercing nail from his soul-guiding device and injected soul power into it, bringing light to this small space.
Gu You took a breath and said with a smile: "It seems that no matter how much preparation is made, it is never too much."
Then he looked at Nightingale and asked, "Is the Fengshan Dragon you mentioned the soul beast?"
----------------
ps1: Recovery medicine, Tang San made a potion with his own blue silver grass as the core, supplemented by other medicines for restoring qi and blood, which can quickly restore vitality and have a therapeutic effect.
The downside is that it can only be used once in a short period of time, otherwise it may be overdosed. Because of the addition of honey, it tastes good.
ps2: Cold drinks. Gu You's soul guide has a refrigerator, but drinking in this hot weather may cause stomach discomfort. It's impossible to stop playing to go to the toilet, so I didn't drink it.
ps3: The soul guide Xiao Wu gave me has a large space. Gu You stuffed all kinds of things into it. Iron rods, shields, solid iron balls, pots and pans are all in it, ready for use.
Finally, it's the first time I've seen an ancient dragon monster in Guyou. To be honest, of all the ancient dragons, my favorite is the Peak Dragon. The shock I felt when I saw it leap over my head on the PSP was truly incomparable. Please recommend and vote for me~~~
Chapter 153: Symbol of Harvest
"The Peak Mountain Dragon, a soul beast sleeping in the heart of the Death Desert."
After a moment of silence, Nightingale slowly spoke, "I have only seen it in the books in the Spirit Hall. Legend has it that it awakens every five years, and each awakening is accompanied by a sandstorm that blocks out the sun. I didn't expect it to happen right now."
"It wakes up every five years. Do you know it will wake up?" Gu You asked in surprise.
Nightingale nodded, and Gu You was even more surprised.
"Didn't you guys go and hunt it? This is a precious hundred thousand year old soul beast!"
Don't talk about animal protectionism, there is no such thing in Douluo Continent. Even if the previous popes of the Spirit Hall could resist the urge to hunt a 100,000-year-old spirit beast, Bibi Dong would not be able to resist the urge to hunt it.
Facing the surprised Gu You, Nightingale glanced at him and said, "It's useless. No one can kill the Fengshan Dragon."
"Can't be killed?"
Tang San felt very strange after hearing this. There is no life in the world that cannot be killed. Physical damage, poison, disease, or even time and life span. If it is said that it cannot be killed, it is just that the right method has not been found.
"Yes." Nightingale looked at Tang San and said, "No one can kill Fengshan Dragon."
"According to the records of the Spirit Hall, in the past, more than a dozen Title Douluo, dozens of Soul Douluo and Soul Saints united to hunt down this 100,000-year soul beast that appeared steadily."
"After paying a heavy price, the Fengshan Dragon was indeed killed."
"However, there are no spirit rings or spirit bones on its body."
"All that was left was a huge corpse."
Hearing this, Gu You and Tang San both widened their eyes. Tang San didn't need to say much, after he came to Douluo Continent, he learned the truth that all soul beasts would produce soul rings.
Gu You was even more surprised, because he had heard that during the Douluo Continent IV period, even creatures from other planets would come to Douluo Continent and produce spirit rings after their death.
Gu You even suspected that if the chrysanthemum pig with the Yin-Yang Crown came to Douluo Continent and was killed, a spirit ring would probably appear.
There are actually soul beasts that do not produce soul rings. Gu You has no idea why this is the case. It is impossible that this thing is not a soul beast at all, but something else.
"Because the Fengshan Dragon is not a soul beast at all."
Gu You, who was originally slumped, suddenly sat up straight, put his face close to Nightingale, and asked word by word: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said just now. What were you talking about?"
Nightingale shook her head. She knew very well how much of an impact this shocking fact would have on a researcher like Gu You. However, with Gu You's curiosity, he would know about it sooner or later, so it didn't hurt to tell him now.
"I said, the Fengshan Dragon is not a soul beast."
"It's over. The world is changing too fast. I can't get on the ship to the new world."
'How is this possible? Why wouldn't a mountain dragon produce spirit rings? This doesn't make sense.'
Gu You quickly asked, "How is the body of the Fengshan dragon? Has it been dissected?"
"Of course." Nightingale nodded affirmatively, "This matter caused a big stir at the beginning, and almost all major forces were involved. Our Spirit Hall was naturally no exception."
"I remember the record of the Peak Dragon saying 'the rock outside is not its skin, its real skin is pale blue.'"
"Its interior is the same as a normal soul beast. Judging from the residue in its body, its main food is sand fish."
"Sharks? There are sharks in the Great Sand Sea?" Tang San was shocked.
"It's not the shark you think it is. It's the sand from the sand." Gu You explained, "It's a soul beast that can swim in the sand like a fish. It usually lives for ten to a hundred years. It is the main food source for many soul beasts in the great sand sea."
"I heard the liver is delicious, but unfortunately I didn't buy it. Now that I think about it, the locals must have known that the mountain dragons were going to come out, so they didn't go deep into the Great Sand Sea to hunt them."
Tang San nodded to show that he understood, and Gu You motioned for Nightingale to continue.
"At that time, there was a scholar in the Spirit Hall whose spirit was the Heaven Questioning Scroll. As long as a price was paid, he could learn everything from it."
“It’s thanks to him that we now know why the mountain dragons regularly cause sandstorms.”
"Why?" x2
Nightingale spoke slowly, with a hint of subtlety in her tone: "Because it needs to remove the rocks from its body, otherwise it will feel uncomfortable."
“………”This reason was too real, leaving Gu You and Tang San speechless.
"The people here call this the Great Desert Feast or the harvest after the disaster. Every time a mountain dragon appears, it will cause a sandstorm, but after the sandstorm, various exotic metals or crystals will be left behind, which are very valuable."
“So the mountain dragon is also called a “moving mineral vein” or a “symbol of disaster and harvest.”
Hearing about the rare metal, Tang San's eyes sparkled. Noticing that Tang San was shaking with excitement, Gu You quickly comforted him: "Calm down, calm down. Come on, take a deep breath, inhale~, exhale~, inhale~, exhale~."
After calming down, Tang San asked: "Wait, wasn't the Fengshan Dragon killed? Then this one is its child?"
"No, this is the Peak Dragon."
"What do you mean?" Gu You frowned and found that things were not simple.
"A month later, the huge body of the Peak Dragon suddenly turned into sand and collapsed. Another month later, another Peak Dragon appeared and caused a sandstorm."
"The soul master whose martial soul is the Heavenly Questioning Scroll asked the Heavenly Questioning Scroll this question, and the answer he got was only one sentence."
"The Peak Dragon is natural."
Gu You suddenly realized, "So that's why it doesn't have spirit rings and spirit bones, and it reappears quickly after death."
Tang San and Nightingale looked at Gu You in surprise.
How come you figured out the truth based on this nonsense? We are both human (one of us is half-human, half-beast), why do you stand out so much?
An ancient man, a local, of course could not get any useful information from this sentence, but Gu You was a modern man, a two-dimensional person, and he understood the essence of Fengshanlong in an instant.
To be on the safe side, Gu You asked, "What else did the soul master ask?"
"No, after hearing this sentence, the soul master died suddenly, and all his immediate family members died at the same time."
