Chapter 302 Golden-Scaled Griffin.
The griffin is a mysterious and majestic super soul beast. Its body is enormous and imposing, making it the overlord of the mountains and forests.
As an overlord, it possesses wings that can soar through the sky, seemingly able to traverse heaven and earth, connecting the boundaries between the ground and the sky. Combining the majesty of a lion with the agility of an eagle, it is a symbol of the perfect combination of power and elegance in the soul beast world.
"A 50,000-year-old Iron-Feathered Griffin! Senior Sister, it seems we are about to enter their territory," Wu Xuan said with a faint smile.
"Indeed! Then it's time to introduce this protagonist." Xian Lin'er grabbed at the air with her right hand, and a blue flame instantly erupted, a spear immediately appearing in her grasp.
The Azure Flame Dragon, theoretically speaking, belongs to the lineage of the Golden Dragon, and even the spear in Xian Lin'er's hand is an innate attribute accompanying her martial soul.
Xian Lin'er pointed the spear forward, instantly unleashing the full power of a level 95 Super Douluo, a deafening dragon roar bursting from her mouth. In an instant, azure flames erupted, transforming into a massive spear of soul power that thrust towards the Iron-feathered Griffin.
"Screech!" The Iron-feathered Griffin let out a terrified cry, its wings flapping wildly as a barrage of gray feathered arrows rained down on its head. The struggle was futile; the moment they clashed, the arrows vanished into the azure flames, and the soul power spear gained a complete advantage.
"Boom!" A deep explosion resounded through the air, and the massive body of the 50,000-year-old Iron-feathered Griffin plummeted straight to the ground, creating a large crater.
Before Xian Lin'er could make a move, a furious shout suddenly echoed from a distant mountain peak: "Human, how dare you be so insolent here!"
From the Mingdou Mountains, on Qiyun Peak, a dazzling golden light shot into the sky, like a golden meteor showering down on the blazing sun. The burning flames of light revealed the approaching creature to be the Golden-Scaled Griffin. Its swooping descent increased its speed several times over.
The Golden-Scaled Griffin truly lived up to its reputation as a ferocious beast-level super soul beast; its massive body seemed to burn with flames under the sunlight, each strand containing inviolable power. Its deep eyes gleamed with keen light, as if they could see through all the secrets of the world. Its wide nostrils seemed to hold the breath of a storm, revealing its extraordinary aura.
But most striking of all were its enormous, outstretched wings. Broad in span, its feathers were dense and glossy, their color gradually changing from dark to light from the base to the tip, like clouds on the horizon at dawn—beautiful and mysterious.
Its limbs were strong and powerful, its claws sharp as blades, capable of easily tearing apart the toughest prey. Its long, flexible tail, tipped with eagle feathers, not only maintained balance during flight but also added elegance and nobility.
As if in response to the Golden-Scaled Griffin, a series of cries echoed near Qiyun Peak. The entire griffin flock was startled.
Xian Lin'er's gaze remained calm throughout: "Junior Brother, proceed according to plan, retreat!"
"Yes!" Wu Xuan nodded emphatically, immediately following Xian Lin'er in flight.
"Where do you think you're going! Die!" The Golden-Scaled Griffin roared, catching up with Wu Xuan and Xian Lin'er first. The next moment, a burst of golden light filled the sky.
Instantly, countless fist-sized golden scales, centered on its body, locked onto Wu Xuan and Xian Lin'er, bombarding them relentlessly.
"Junior Brother, retreat!" Xian Lin'er let out a long roar. Her figure flashed, and she soared into the sky. Terrifying flames erupted from her body. The color of these flames was the same as Wu Xuan's—cyan. The Azure Flame Dragon Martial Soul behind Xian Lin'er instantly merged into her body.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body, True Body Possession!"
Instantly, Xian Lin'er's body, wreathed in cyan light, swelled rapidly. In the blink of an eye, her height had reached over five meters, and a layer of cyan illusory armor appeared on her body.
This armor was like scales covering her entire body, with nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—rising from her feet, instantly creating an invincible aura.
Xian Lin'er pointed her spear forward, and a deafening dragon roar burst from her mouth. In an instant, cyan flames erupted, transforming into a gigantic dragon head that crashed into the golden scales.
Large swaths of golden scales vanished in the azure flames, and the azure dragon head completely gained the upper hand.
"Super Douluo? How dare you trespass into my Griffin clan's territory! But even a Super Douluo would have to leave his life behind!" the Golden-Scaled Griffin roared to the sky.
"A mere Soul Beast, what nonsense are you spouting!" Xian Lin'er's eyes flashed with cold light. She shouted, her body flashing through the air like a bolt of azure lightning. In the next instant, she was in front of the Golden-Scaled Griffin, her spear pointing forward. A thunderous roar echoed in mid-air, and a massive azure dragon's shadow flashed behind Xian Lin'er. The tip of her spear was already before the Golden-Scaled Griffin.
The Golden-Scaled Griffin flapped its wings and suddenly closed them in front of her, unleashing a burst of golden flames that instantly converged and blocked Xian Lin'er's spearhead.
In an instant, the entire space seemed to collapse. When Wu Xuan looked at the battlefield again, the Golden-Scaled Griffin and Xian Lin'er were already locked in fierce combat.
The Golden-Scaled Griffin's weapons were its claws wreathed in golden flames. With each swing of its claws, incredibly hot flames appeared, forcing Xian Lin'er to retreat continuously. Xian Lin'er's counterattack was much wilder. Every time she thrust her spear, a loud dragon's roar resounded. Although forced to retreat, the two managed to maintain their stalemate.
In their path, towering flames raged, burning any trees or low-level soul beasts caught in the blaze to a charred black.
Just as Xian Lin'er was retreating while fighting, and the battle between the two was in full swing, a series of cries rang out: "Screech! Screech! Screech!" Seven or eight griffins from the griffin clan, whose cultivation levels were clearly over 50,000 years old, were closing in.
This is the trouble with hunting the king of a spirit beast clan; one move affects the whole situation, and if there aren't enough people, there's no chance at all.
At this moment, Qian Duoduo, who had been lying in ambush, suddenly made his move.
A jet-black light suddenly shot out from the ground towards the griffin flock, instantly arriving above the heads of the seven or eight high-level griffins. Instantly, the black light exploded, enveloping downwards, and each griffin's body was covered with a layer of dark, misty light.
A strange scene unfolded: the high-level griffins, which had been constantly howling, plummeted to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Then, seven or eight griffins slipped on the spot, unable to rise again.
