Douluo: Tara's Mask, the Ultimate Darkness!

Chapter 31 One-eyed Ghost Bat!!

Opening the door of the Shadow Hall built by the ninja soldiers, it was extremely deserted inside. The huge hall had the same layout as the Ghost Kingdom.

Nine seats plus a throne.

Of the nine seats plus the throne, only three chairs have mask patterns printed on them, and their positions are clear.

"This is pretty good."

Xu Xin nodded in satisfaction. It was exactly what he had thought. It could be considered an alternative hall of the Ghost Kingdom.

"Xiao Xuxin, do we need nine elders?"

Liu Erlong asked curiously. She had been curious since the beginning when this place was built.

Especially when she saw the mask pattern on the seat, she had a guess.

The three masks are exactly the Tara mask in Xu Xin's hand, the Niga mask in A Yin's hand, and the Lazo mask in Dugu Bo's hand.

Now, only three seats have them, and the other seven have not yet. It is obviously difficult for the ninja soldiers to carve them.

"Yes, nine. Then you will be the Third Elder. Isn't that impressive?"

Xu Xin joked.

"Okay, let's go, let's go quickly. Once you have the mask, I'll have those ninja soldiers carve it."

Liu Erlong said excitedly. She had been thinking about this mask for a long time.

"Don't worry, Sister Erlong, do you know of any soul beasts that have both spiritual and dark attributes?"

Xu Xin looked at Liu Erlong and asked.

Liu Erlong shook her head repeatedly. "Don't ask me who I am, where I am, what I want to do..."

Xu Xin was ashamed. This little girl knew nothing.

With a snap of his fingers, a ninja soldier appeared in front of the two of them: "Go ask the Second Elder if he has the soul beast I just mentioned."

The ninja soldiers quickly disappeared after receiving the order.

When he reappeared, there was news: One-eyed Ghost Bat!!

"One-eyed ghost bat!"

"Okay, go look for them first. If you have any clues, report them immediately."

Xu Xin spoke slowly, and soon, a large group of ninja soldiers disappeared into the darkness and rushed towards the sunset forest in unison.

"Let's go, Erlongjie!"

Xu Xin spoke.

After having ninja soldiers, Xu Xin realized how good it was to have someone serving you.

The two of them didn't waste any time and walked straight into the Sunset Forest. There were several ninja soldiers protecting them in secret.

The Sunset Forest was not small, and the two of them wandered around in it for a long time.

"Xiao Xuxin, why do you want a spiritual soul beast?"

Liu Erlong asked in confusion. She knew that Xu Xin's martial soul wanted a soul beast with dark attributes, after all.

But why spiritual attributes?
A mask? Could it be possible to come back to life with the blessing of spiritual attributes?
"It's a secret."

"Sister Erlong, you'll know when the time comes."

Let’s not talk about the Ghost Kingdom for now. Let’s give Liu Erlong a surprise when the time comes.

Although A Yin and Dugu Bo already knew it.

"Okay." Liu Erlong said boredly.

"By the way, Sister Erlong, do you really not want to go home?" Xu Xin suddenly asked.

"No, not at all!"

"Why, the Palace Master wants to drive me, the Third Elder, away?"

Liu Erlong's tone had obviously changed a lot, and it sounded a little resentful.

Xu Xin's heart tightened. He felt so cheap. Why did he bring up this out of the blue?

Pulling Liu Erlong's hand, Xu Xin slowly said, "How could that be? You are my Third Elder. I will not let you go no matter who you are."

"From now on, if you want to go home, you have to report to me. If I don't allow you, you can't leave!" Xu Xin said seriously, trying to calm the girl down first.

"That's more like it!" Liu Erlong snorted.

Now Xu Xin's height is almost the same as Liu Erlong's. When they walk together, there is no sense of incongruity and they don't look like siblings anymore.

Just as the two were about to say something else, the ninja soldiers suddenly appeared.

"found it?"

Xu Xin was stunned. This efficiency was too fast.

"How did you find it?" Xu Xin asked.

The ninja soldier muttered for a long time. Xu Xin understood it, but Liu Erlong didn't understand a word.

"Xu Xin, what did he say..." Liu Erlong was a little confused.

"Oh, he said they found it based on the dark attributes of the one-eyed ghost bat."

"They are of dark nature and are very sensitive to this. Based on this, they discovered it quickly."

Xu Xin explained.

It is normal that Liu Erlong doesn’t understand since she is not wearing a mask, and this is also an advantage.

From now on, what the ninja soldiers say will only be understood by the elders of the Shadow Hall.

"Okay, okay, let's go!" Liu Erlong couldn't wait any longer.

The ninja soldier was very fast and soon led the two to where the one-eyed ghost bat was.

The one-eyed ghost bat hung upside down on a dark tree, as if it was resting.

When it realized someone was staring at it, the solitary eye on its head suddenly lit up and looked straight at the two people in front of it.

"Four thousand five hundred years!"

Xu Xin took a deep breath, not knowing if he could absorb it now, after all, it was only the third ring.

The one-eyed ghost bat has one eye and two wings, with white stripes on the tips of its wings, each stripe lasting a thousand years.

Ten thousand years later, the white stripes will turn crimson, and one crimson stripe will represent ten thousand years.

The one-eyed ghost bat has four and a half white stripes on the tips of its wings, which clearly shows it is 4,500 years old.

"Xu Xin, are you sure you can absorb this head bat? I feel like it's a bit old, and you're only at the third level now."

"Maybe it's a bit too much."

Liu Erlong asked with some concern. Although this bat is suitable, it is a bit too old.

Xu Xin shook his head. "It's okay. My physique has been tempered by ice and fire, and my mental strength has also been improved by taking the immortal grass. I can give it a try."

"If that doesn't work, Erlongjie, you can just interrupt me again. It won't be a problem."

Xu Xin spoke slowly and said, how can we become stronger without experiencing some pain?

"Okay, wait, I'll catch it!"

Liu Erlong didn't waste any words. A mere 4,500-year-old soul beast couldn't withstand my punch.

As he spoke, Liu Erlong's martial spirit possessed him, and flames raged across his body: "First Spirit Skill: Rising Dragon Fist!" (I don't know what Liu Erlong's spirit skill is in the original novel. The anime does have it, but it's not very good, so the author made it up. If you don't like it, please don't criticize me.)
Flames covered Liu Erlong's fist, and the three-headed flame dragon roared out, rushing towards the one-eyed ghost bat.

With the ninja soldiers providing cover, the one-eyed ghost bat couldn't escape at all.

He was subdued by Liu Erlong in a few moves, but he did not die.

Xu Xin didn't hesitate at all. He took out the dagger and killed the guy directly.

After killing the beast, he remembered a rumor he had heard in his previous life: the heavier the resentment a soul beast held before it died, the more likely it was to drop soul bones...

I don’t know whether it’s true or false!
Should have just tried it.

But after thinking about it, Xu Xin gave up. He decided to forget about torturing the soul beast. After all, he was not that cruel.

Of course, the torture of Tang San and the waste of his ass are another matter. They are really inhumane.

Of course you have to be a bit ruthless.
