Now that he could no longer take Stamina Pills, he could only eat these Immortal Grass Elixirs to recover his body.
This way, he could also continue to accumulate strength.
"No, if we run now, we can one hundred percent escape the pursuit,"
Ye Feng looked toward Du Gubo.
It was almost impossible for the other party to spare time to chase their opponents while recovering.
Even if they could find the time, their speed would be greatly reduced.
If he wanted to escape, Ye Feng believed he had a one hundred percent chance of leaving this place.
"Then what are we waiting for, let's not waste time - let's run!"
Faced with this cheater of a creature, Du Gubo only wanted to make a quick getaway while he still had the chance.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died here later.
"Run? Isn't it too much of a pity to run now?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Feng's mouth.
After observing, he had finally discovered the secret of this soul beast.
About that layer of golden light.
"Huh? Too much of a pity??"
Upon hearing this, Du Gubo looked entirely baffled with an expression full of question marks.
This was a cheat player.
How could they deal with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast? To be honest, rather than fighting such a freak, he would prefer to go back and find the Forest King, the Titan Ape.
The Titan Ape might even be easier than this thing!
After all, constantly recovering like this would collapse even the most resilient will.
"Rest assured, Old Poison, once I, Ye Feng, set my sights on a soul beast, there's no way it can escape. Let's wait for it to recover and then attack!"
Ye Feng said to Du Gubo.
Du Gubo remained silent.
At this moment, he was questioning his life choices.
Had he followed a madman?
In such an obvious disadvantage, the other side didn't care at all; if the creature cheated again later, they would stand no chance at all.
After all, by that time, they would have completely exhausted their strength.
"Then, how long do we have to wait here?"
Five minutes passed.
The layer of golden light still enveloped them.
It was just three minutes before, now it turned into five.
"Probably another five minutes,"
Ye Feng stroked his chin and then said.
"So, you're saying that it took the opponent ten minutes to repair itself this time? But if this keeps up, won't the invincible state last longer and longer? What if next time it takes a day and a night to repair, how are we supposed to wait?"
This was no longer cheating; it was super cheating.
Because the golden light enveloped the surroundings, their attacks were completely useless.
"Haha, Old Poison, dismiss that thought; it won't happen,"
Ye Feng chuckled.
"Roar—"
About ten minutes had passed when the Gold-striped White Wolf Emperor had more or less recovered.
A furious roar was heard.
Instantly the earth shook and the mountains moved.
It felt like a small earthquake had arrived.
"Attack!"
Ye Feng commanded.
Immediately following, Du Gubo swiftly unleashed his soul skills and went into a furious physical brawl with the wolf, not stopping for breath and launching a relentless barrage.
He did not know exactly what Ye Feng was doing, but since the latter told him to attack, he attacked!
To beat it to death, until the beast was dead.
Very soon, the ninth soul skill was released!
Thanks to consuming a bit of the Immortal Grass Elixir, Du Gubo was even able to unleash his Medusa Soul Bone Skill!
"Roar!"
The Golden Patterned White Wolf Emperor let out howl after howl.
"Old Poison, can you still fight?"
Ye Feng asked Du Gubo.
"I can!"
replied Du Gubo!
He then directly charged out with his Martial Soul True Body to physically brawl with the soul beast.
Because he had already run out of Soul Power to continue using soul skills to fight.
Although he couldn't fight with soul skills, he could still use his Martial Soul True Body.
So he clashed against the opponent using his Martial Soul True Body.
"Old Poison, be careful!"
Seeing Du Gubo charging straight into a brawl with the Gold-striped White Wolf, especially as the White Wolf reached out a claw towards Du Gubo's back to swipe, Ye Feng urgently shouted a warning.
This was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast; those claws were extremely sharp. If they caught someone on the back, even a Titled Douluo would be in trouble!
"Beast!!"
Du Gubo desperately spun around, trying to avoid his vital points.
"Gale-force Rush!"
"Rushing Void!"
Ye Feng unleashed his Golden-Winged Great Peng soul bone skill.
He then released the Bluesilver Emperor's soul bone skill again.
His speed increased to the extreme.
Grabbing Old Poison, he retreated backward.
"Boom——"
When the claw hit the ground, rocks were flung into the air.
"Old Peel, you've saved my life again."
Du Gubo now had the look of someone who had narrowly escaped death as he spoke.
If that claw had struck his body, the sharp nails would have pierced straight through him.
His internal organs would have been shattered on impact.
Moreover, the enemy's claws were laced with strong poison.
With damaged organs and the poison, one did not need to guess the outcome; he would likely have been buried right there.
Or rather, he would become the excrement of the wolf he now faced!
"Old Poison, you really let me down! I told you to fight, not to go and get yourself killed. Going head-to-head with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast—isn't that madness?!"
Ye Feng complained irritably.
That claw strike could have easily ended a Titled Douluo's life.
If Old Poison were to die here, how would he explain it to Dugu Yan?
After all, the Dugu Family was then relying on Old Poison to hold them together!
"What do you mean 'let you down'? If we want to stop that soul beast from advancing, do we not have to fight the way I just did?!"
Du Gubo argued with Ye Feng, having resolved himself to a fight to the death.
"No, no, no, we have to outsmart this soul beast, not confront it. You follow me and retreat!"
Ye Feng instructed Du Gubo.
A direct confrontation was only feasible if Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were present, creating the Bipolar Static Field—otherwise, it was impossible for just him and Du Gubo.
They were not that resilient.
"Retreating? Didn't you, Flayer, say we were going to kill it?"
Du Gubo was utterly astonished upon hearing Ye Feng's words. Hadn't Ye Feng just mentioned that they would vanquish the soul beast and make it his soul ring? It had only been a moment, and now he spoke of retreating?
"Sometimes when you're at a disadvantage, you have to run. Trust me, it's the right call!"
Ye Feng assured Du Gubo.
In truth, he had his own plan.
What kind of place was this? It was an active volcano.
And there was lava at the distant cave entrance.
Ye Feng intended to lure the Golden Patterned White Wolf Emperor to the heart of the active volcano, to the lava.
There, he planned to use the lava to kill the beast.
Of course, there were some things one could not speak of.
Because the soul beast they faced was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
It could understand human speech.
Now, Ye Feng needed to create an illusion that they were unable to defeat the enemy and therefore needed to run away.
This way, the Golden Patterned White Wolf Emperor in front of them would underestimate them.
Once the enemy underestimated them, the following battle would be much easier to handle.
"You, Flayer! We could have run earlier! And now you think of running?!"
Du Gubo spoke in a displeased tone.
To think that they were only running now—what had they been doing earlier?
"Aooo, aooo!"
At that moment, the Golden Patterned White Wolf's claws, full of strength, charged fiercely towards Ye Feng.
Because it would not let its enemies escape. Ye Feng and Du Gubo had allowed it to recover twice.
It had nearly exhausted its Moon's Power, and they had killed many of its Wolf Soldiers and Wolf Generals. It was determined to see both of them dead, no matter what!
Otherwise, it would not be able to answer for itself when it returned!
"You, Old Peel, hurry up! The path is getting wider! If that creature lets loose, we'll have a harder time escaping!"
The further they ran, the more Du Gubo realized they had passed the narrowest part.
And the Golden Patterned White Wolf was picking up speed behind them.
It was quickly gaining on them.
Du Gubo urgently reminded Ye Feng. Sometimes being slow was beneficial, but when being chased, being slow could spell catastrophe!
"Azure Dragon Annihilation!"
Ye Feng immediately released his third soul skill.
Suddenly, an Azure Dragon attacked the Golden Patterned White Wolf chasing them!
In just half a breath's time, the Azure Dragon conjured by Ye Feng dissipated.
It was as if it were a balloon hitting the Golden Patterned White Wolf, completely ineffective.
"Old Peel, your attacks are useless. But for some reason, it seems to be getting hotter," Ye Feng observed.
