The Mirror Beast is rumored to be able to transform into other soul beasts or soul masters and copy their skills.
Its scales reflect the environment, allowing it to camouflage itself and making it difficult to be detected.
In the forest.
Dongfang Jing withdrew his mirror image again.
Although he didn't want to make a wasted trip for this mission, he also knew that searching aimlessly like a headless fly would probably never yield results.
Returning to the temporary camp, everyone was empty-handed.
Each of them looked disappointed.
However, apart from Dongfang Jing, the others had collected some rare soul beast scales and materials.
They could exchange them for a lot of soul coins after they left.
Thinking of this, they felt much better.
Hao Te walked to Dongfang Jing's side, patted his shoulder to comfort him, and said, "It's okay, little mirror. I'll come back with you alone to get your second soul ring after we rest for a few days."
"Thank you, Brother Hao Te."
"Hey, don't be so polite with me!"
Just as everyone was packing their bags to leave.
Suddenly, a member of the team cried out, "Oh no! Old Ma is missing!"
"What? He hasn't come back yet?"
"I can't find him!"
A headcount confirmed that one person was indeed missing, and the team immediately descended into chaos.
At this moment, Hao Te's role as captain became crucial.
"Quiet! What's all the panic? What kind of behavior is this!" His voice boomed, his imposing presence intimidating.
The team members trembled at his shout and instantly fell silent.
Although they were yelled at, no one complained.
This was not only because of Hao Te's strength,but also because they had genuinely panicked.
Hao Te himself was also puzzled. How could one person be missing?
They had split into several groups to search for the Mirror Beast, and they hadn't strayed too far apart.
Even if Old Ma had indeed been attacked by a soul beast, why hadn't he shouted for help to attract their attention?
Moreover, they had thoroughly searched this area and found no trace of the soul beast.
"Could it be?!"
Hao Te suddenly realized something.
Just as he was about to explain to Dongfang Jing, he saw that the other party had already taken action.
He summoned the Shattered Mirror Martial Soul, and both his main body and mirror image rapidly scanned the surroundings!
Old Ma had disappeared without a trace, unless he had left on his own. Then there was only one possibility.
The Mirror Shadow Beast was nearby!
It was indeed an extremely rare and cunning soul beast, intending to defeat them one by one!
Old Ma's soul power was level thirty-one. Even if he faced the Mirror Shadow Beast alone, he could at least hold out for a while. He shouldn't have been eliminated without a sound.
Unless the Mirror Shadow Beast transformed into one of his teammates and successfully ambushed him.
Or perhaps it concealed its form and swallowed Old Ma whole when he was off guard.
In a flash, Dongfang Jing suddenly stopped. Continuing to search blindly would only allow them to be led by the nose, and he might even be attacked himself.
The young man lowered his eyes, his brain working at lightning speed.
Recalling the characteristics of the Mirror Beast and his own martial soul ability, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
He immediately activated his soul power, summoning countless shattered mirrors and piecing them together to create mirror after mirror. He quickly created a mirrored area around him!
Since the Mirror Beast used its scales to reflect light for camouflage,he would use the mirrors to completely disrupt the environment and light!
"Brother Haote, give me a punch!" Dongfang Jing shouted behind him.
It was their first time working together, but their teamwork was perfect.
Haote immediately understood what he was going to do.
He grunted, and his aura suddenly became violent, a dense wave of soul power emanating from him.
His body suddenly grew larger, his muscles bulged, and his clothes were instantly torn apart.
Amidst the heavy aura, his hair had turned white, and a layer of frost-like freezing air spread from his body.
In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a giant bear, five meters tall and extremely robust.
Two yellow and three purple spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.
This was Haote's martial spirit, the Snow Soul Demon Bear!
The very next second after he completed the possession, Dongfang Jing pushed all the floating mirrors towards Haote.
"First spirit skill, Ice Bear Impact!"
Haote clenched his fist, gathering his spirit power, and threw a punch at the oncoming swarm of mirrors.
With a deafening roar, many mirrors shattered.
The shockwave sent these large, scattered mirror fragments flying, scattering everywhere.
Meanwhile, under the shadow of a tree, an unnatural curve of light and shadow suddenly appeared in what had been an empty space.
The other team members finally snapped out of their daze.
Noticing the anomaly, they summoned their martial spirits and unleashed various colorful spirit skills towards the curved area.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by a shrill scream, the Mirror Beast was forced to reveal itself.
It wasn't large, about two meters long, with extremely peculiar scales covering its body.
Just as rumored, each scale resembled a small mirror.
It resembled a mink, yet was covered in mirror-like armor.
The Mirror Beast, which had been secretly enjoying its meal using its abilities, had no idea it would be discovered.
Struck by someone's soul skill, blue blood seeped from its back,while its mouth was stained crimson.
Just then, a human head, its face contorted in terror and resentment, rolled from its mouth.
It was none other than Old Ma.
"Old Ma! Old Ma!"
A bearded teammate, a close friend of his, cried out in anguish, tears streaming down his face.
The others were equally distressed and vented their anger on the Mirror Beast.
The Mirror Beast tried to run, but Hao Te was faster.
"Hmph, trying to escape? Second soul skill, Frost Mist Envelopment!"
The Snow Soul Demon Bear unleashed a powerful breath, and a dense white frost mist rapidly spread outwards from Hao Te.
The fog carried a bone-chilling cold, significantly reducing the power of the Mirror Shadow Beast's soul skills, even though it was also of the cold attribute.
However, it was enough to slow its movements.
Hao Te showed no mercy, unleashing his next killing move: "Third Soul Skill, Ice Claw Tear!"
A bear's roar shook the forest, and icy light flashed!
Behind the crowd,Dongfang Jing sat cross-legged, focusing all his energy on regulating his soul power.
Besides its stealth ability, the Mirror Shadow Beast was also incredibly powerful.
But ultimately, it couldn't withstand the combined attack of Hao Te, a Soul King, and several other Soul Masters.
After a long while, it finally collapsed, barely alive.
The team members gasped for breath, their soul power almost completely depleted, before finally suppressing the Mirror Shadow Beast.
It was truly difficult to kill!
The group looked at each other, all disheveled and covered in dust.
They hadn't expected that in the end, this beast would launch a counterattack, severely injuring three Soul Masters.
Two Great Soul Masters even had their arms bitten off.
Hao Te raised his hand, signaling his teammates to stop.
He hadn't forgotten that this spirit ring was meant for Dongfang Jing to absorb.
"Little Mirror! It's ready, now!"
Dongfang Jing opened his eyes at the sound, summoning his martial spirit. The shattered mirror fragments rapidly condensed in mid-air into a gleaming throwing knife under his control.
The knife shot through the air from a hundred meters away, delivering a precise final blow to the Mirror Shadow Beast!
All the team members, including Haote, stared in shock at this scene.
This young man's control over his martial spirit was simply beyond imagination!
If it were them, they knew they could never achieve such a feat!
