The Ice Blade Mantis was agile and moved through the forest like a ghost. Moreover, the four brothers were in sync and surrounded the Purple Shadow Lion from four directions.
The Purple Shadow Lion was somewhat panicked. The Ice Blade Mantis was a top-level insect-type soul beast. It had no obvious weaknesses in attack, defense, or speed. It was cruel and bloodthirsty. The prey that fell into its hands would have no other fate except to be dismembered.
Under the dual effects of fear and desire to survive, the Purple Shadow Lion moved like the wind and rushed into the left wing of the Soul Hunting Team, which was Ling Qiuxi's position.
"roar--"
The Purple Shadow Lion opened its mouth and let out a terrifying roar, trying to scare Ling Qiuxi away. However, facing this soul beast with 20,000 years of cultivation, Ling Qiuxi did not retreat but advanced, facing the Purple Shadow Lion and punching straight forward with his right fist.
The moment the white and tender fist was thrown out, it turned into a bright golden color like glass, and then a loud dragon roar that was several times more majestic than a lion's roar rang out in the Star Dou Great Forest.
In its long life of 20,000 years, the Purple Shadow Lion was accustomed to seeing soul masters fleeing in panic after seeing it, and it never thought that Ling Qiuxi would dare to punch it. The dragon's roar pierced deep into its soul, and the fear from its blood and soul made the Purple Shadow Lion stunned for a moment.
"boom--"
Ling Qiuxi's punch hit the Purple Shadow Lion mercilessly on the head. The Purple Shadow Lion howled miserably and was smashed away by the Golden Dragon's terrifying power. It smashed countless ancient trees and finally fell to the ground, dying and spitting blood.
Li Yongyue quickly stepped forward and ended the life of the Purple Shadow Lion, and a circle of black ten thousand year soul ring slowly rose.
This was the first time that everyone had seen the legendary golden dragon. It was worthy of being the ultimate power that ranked at the top among the ultimate martial spirits!
"Ling Qiuxi is so strong." Huo Yuhao smacked his lips.
"How barbaric." Wang Dong'er curled her lips, "The elder sister is a violent woman, and the younger brother is a scumbag. They are birds of a feather."
When the four Ice Blade Mantis brothers found out that their prey had been snatched away by someone, they immediately flew into a rage and stared at Ling Qiuxi and Shrek and his group without any intention of retreating, with a fierce murderous intent emanating from their bodies.
"They want to hunt us." Zhang Lexuan assigned the tasks calmly and clearly, "Soul beasts that act in groups generally have joint attack skills, so we must separate them.
Mo Xuan activates his aura. Ling Bai and I will each deal with an Ice Blade Mantis. Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger will deal with one each, while Ling Qiuxi and Li Yongyue will deal with one each. The Ice Blade Mantis has extremely strong attack power, so everyone must be careful!"
Everyone responded in unison. Zhang Lexuan's arrangement had a deeper meaning. It would be a piece of cake for the two leaders to capture the four 35,000-year-old soul beasts, but hunting soul beasts was a life-and-death battle. She didn't want the Soul King and Soul Emperor to miss this training opportunity.
Circles of halos bloomed from Mo Xuan's body, and five soul rings of yellow, purple and black rose up, covering every member of the Soul Hunting Team.
Ling Bai felt that his strength, speed, and mental power increased simultaneously, but the extent of the increase was not very impressive, less than one-fifth of Ning Tian's.
After being used to eating delicacies from land and sea, suddenly having to eat coarse vegetables, this increase is just better than nothing.
Mo Xuan's abilities cannot be brought into full play in small group battles. His stage is the battlefield. The range covered by his halo is extremely large. All soul masters within the range can gain amplification from the halo. The more people there are, the more excited he is.
The Ice Blade Mantis turned its triangular head, its ice-blue eyes locked onto Ling Bai, and it flapped its wings and flew, revealing a pair of ice blade sickles, and the icy cold air spread wildly.
Ice Blade, one of the Ice Blade Mantis's innate soul skills, the ice attribute soul power stored in the body will cool the sickle to an extremely low temperature, increasing its attack power and penetration.
This soul skill gives the Ice Blade Mantis a great advantage in close combat, and can often deliver a fatal blow.
Faced with a soul beast whose attributes and cultivation were both crushed by his own, Ling Bai had no desire to fight and was too lazy to even use the Holy Angel Sword. His fourth soul ring burst out with a strong light, and rays of sacred sword energy descended from the sky.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
Thousands of swords pierced through its body, and the Ice Blade Mantis instantly turned into a porcupine, frozen in mid-air, unable to move. Only sharp screams could be heard echoing in the forest.
On the other side, Ling Qiuxi completed the golden dragon possession. Diamond-shaped golden scales covered her exposed fair skin. Running up and down seemed simple, but every time her toes touched the ground, a spider-web-like crack would appear where she stepped.
The Golden Dragon's fighting style does not rely on soul skills. She directly uses violent head-on attacks, with the Golden Dragon Fist and the Ice Blade Scythe colliding fiercely in the air.
There was a sharp cracking sound, and the Ice Blade Mantis's sickle instantly tilted back, but only half of the sickle was tilted back. The melee weapon that the Ice Blade Mantis was proud of was broken so easily. Then, it had no power to fight back and was stepped on by Ling Qiuxi.
Seeing this scene, Li Yongyue, who was preparing for a sneak attack, silently put down the Moon Blade and turned to look at other battlefields.
Zhang Lexuan has already captured the Ice Blade Mantis with the Moonlight. The Ice Scorpion is the ultimate ice. Huo Yuhao is naturally able to suppress all ice-attributed soul beasts, and it is no problem for him to deal with an Ice Blade Mantis in cooperation with Wang Donger.
In the blink of an eye, all four Ice Blade Mantises were captured. Li Yongyue participated in the entire team battle. He scratched his head in frustration, thanked Ling Qiuxi, and trotted back to absorb the Purple Shadow Lion Soul Ring.
The soul rings that explode from killing soul beasts can last for an hour. Huo Yuhao does not have Tang San's strength now, so he can only kill the Ice Blade Mantises one by one to absorb the soul rings.
The first one was the porcupine, which exhaled more than it inhaled. Ling Bai showed mercy and the Ice Blade Mantis still had one breath left.
Since Huo Yuhao chose to attach a ten thousand year spirit ring, Ling Bai would of course give his full support, which meant that the gap between the two would gradually widen in the future.
In fact, the second spirit of most twin spirits absorbs ten thousand year spirit rings, and under normal circumstances there are one to three hundred thousand year spirit rings. This is one of the reasons why Shrek Academy and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm allowed Huo Yuhao to add spirit rings to the Ice Jade Scorpion in advance.
Another point is that Lingmou has lost the power of destiny and the second sea of consciousness opened up by the gold of life, and has not undergone a second awakening of his main martial soul. The gap between him and the Ice Jade Scorpion is very large. Huo Yuhao even has the idea of turning the Ice Jade Scorpion into his first martial soul after breaking through to the Soul Saint level.
Since Huo Yuhao absorbed four soul rings in a row, Zhang Lexuan decided to rest here tonight. It happened that this place was the junction of the mixed area and the core area, which was more suitable for stationing.
The sky had completely darkened and night was falling. The roars of soul beasts could be heard from time to time. The soul hunting team split up. Zhang Lexuan set up a tent and scattered insect repellent powder. Wang Dong'er protected Huo Yuhao. Ling Bai and Ling Qiuxi patrolled and drove away the surrounding soul beasts. Mo Xuan and Li Yongyue were responsible for clearing the bushes.
Everything was ready. Zhang Lexuan glanced at the sky and said, "We will take turns on duty tonight, one hour at a time. I will be on duty for the first round, Li Yongyue and Mo Xuan for the second round, and Ling Bai and Ling Qiuxi for the third round. Wang Dong'er will be guarding Huo Yuhao, so she doesn't need to be on duty tonight."
No one raised any objections. There were many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that loved light and fire, so a bonfire must not be lit at night. Everyone simply ate some dry food, took a few sips from their water bags, and went into the tent to meditate and restore their energy.
As if blessed by God, two hours later, the Soul Hunting Team did not encounter any soul beast attack.
Ling Bai and Ling Qiuxi opened their eyes, and light flowed in their two similar yet completely different golden eyes, which meant that their soul power and spirit had returned to their peak.
"Go back and rest, we'll do it."
"Thanks for your hard work."
After Mo Xuan and Li Yongyue returned to the tent, they were the only ones in the camp. They stood side by side and looked at the layers of forest in the distance.
It's not pitch dark in the Starry Forest at night. The moonlight shines through the uneven shadows of the trees, and you can barely see things.
Ling Qiuxi turned her head slightly and stared at Ling Bai's profile, openly admiring this guy whom she hadn't seen for more than three years. She couldn't help but laugh and felt that everything about him was good.
Feeling the burning gaze from the side, Ling Bai turned his head and said helplessly: "Can you restrain yourself a little? I'm afraid you'll eat me up in one bite."
"If you want to watch it and you like to watch it, just watch it."
Ling Qiuxi crossed her arms across her chest, her beautiful face full of provocation, as if asking, "What can you do to me?"
"OK."
Ling Bai raised his eyebrows, with the Spider Emperor's sense, he had nothing to worry about. The night was long and it was a bit boring to stay up all night, so he took out a piece of beef that had been roasted in the morning from the storage soul guide.
The six-winged angel's soul power contained fire attributes and had an excellent heating effect. After a while, the beef in Ling Bai's hand became soft and fragrant. He sprinkled some chili on it and blew the aroma towards Ling Qiuxi.
Ling Qiuxi's nostrils twitched slightly. The familiar smell of meat instantly aroused the appetite in her stomach. She had been traveling in the Xingdou Great Forest for half a day and had only eaten some dry food soaked in water at night. How could she bear to hear the poison released so late at night?
Her fair throat swallowed the saliva secreted, and she turned into a hungry dragon and reached out to grab Ling Bai's barbecue.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Ling Bai took a step back and looked mischievously at Ling Qiuxi who had missed his target.
"I want to eat too!"
Ling Qiuxi raised her head proudly and spread out her white and tender little hands.
"Oh, no."
Ling Bai shook his head like a rattle, and then, under Ling Qiuxi's fiery eyes, he took a bite of the beef and praised it with satisfaction, saying it was delicious.
"You...you just like to bully me!"
Ling Qiuxi almost broke her teeth. She overcame all difficulties to enter the human world. This bastard recognized her and bullied her openly!
"This is to tell you that the world is dangerous."
Ling Bai poked Ling Qiuxi between the eyebrows, reheated a larger piece of barbecue and handed it to her.
"I know you're picky about food, so I saved some for you at noon."
"That's more like it."
Ling Qiuxi snorted, sat down and devoured the thick piece of beef.
Ling Bai sat beside her, looked up at the bright moonlight, then looked at the beautiful face that seemed like a replica, and said with a smile:
"It's a nice night. I should have told you a bedtime story, but unfortunately, I don't seem to have any stories about barbecue, so we can only eat it."
Hearing this, Ling Qiuxi stopped eating supper and said seriously: "Only people can have stories. We can write the chapters we want in the future."
"Is there ink in your stomach?"
Ling Bai was surprised, and Ling Qiuxi rolled her eyes at him angrily. In Xingdou Soul Beast Culture Co., Ltd., she was a top student!
"What do you think of this world? Has it disappointed you?"
Ling Qiuxi had a complicated expression: "Since I left Xing...left home, do you know how many people would approach me every day?
Both men and women, using any means, dirty and filthy!
It's all your fault, what a face you have!"
"No, can you blame me for this?"
Ling Bai was shocked. This blame was thrown out of the blue. Besides, it was obviously an honor to be able to have sex with both men and women!
Seeing Ling Bai's hesitant expression, Ling Qiuxi ate more and more happily.
"Will your uncles and aunts at home know that you are coming out?" Ling Bai asked.
"Hmm... probably."
Ling Qiuxi held the black pendant in front of her chest. She carried the Black Dragon's Reverse Scale with her. As long as she encountered danger, Di Tian could tear open the space and come down, so he allowed her to leave the Star Dou Great Forest alone.
"Wait until my inner courtyard friends finish their graduation examinations, and then you will come home with me. Shrek Academy is not suitable for you."
Ling Bai paused and pointed in the direction of Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger: "The key is to stay away from these two guys. They may covet what you were born with."
"I see."
This kind of concern made Ling Qiuxi feel warm in her heart. She suddenly grabbed Ling Bai's hand, put it on her thigh, and stood up to get close to Ling Bai's face.
"You used to love touching me, how does it feel now, huh?"
"These are two different concepts…"
Petting a cat ≠ touching its legs!
Ling Bai was powerless to complain. Although her skin was warm and elastic, and she was beautiful and had a sexy body, and although she took the initiative to seduce and tempt in the middle of the night, people couldn't, or at least shouldn't...
Hey, it feels so good!
Feeling that the hand honestly did not take it away, Ling Qiuxi's tilted body and raised lips had already betrayed her feelings. She leaned close to Ling Bai's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"For the soul beast clan, whoever you like should be conquered openly, and only the winner is worthy of the sole right to mate!
You can only be mine!"
"Okay, let's see what you can do."
Ling Bai slowly curled his lips, not minding Ling Qiuxi's wildness and possessiveness. This time she had no human memories and still retained the cognition of soul beasts. In the soul beast world, the strong are respected, and whoever wins will have the right to occupy the other.
The two looked at each other, only an inch apart. Ling Qiuxi pursed her lips, as if considering whether to get a taste of the sweetness in advance, but she then saw Ling Bai's gaze fixed and looked back.
"Soul beast attack."
Ling Bai patted her round shoulders.
The flirtatious and ambiguous atmosphere was broken by the soul beast. Ling Qiuxi stood up expressionlessly with a golden dragon spear in his hand.
She was angry.
They were a group of ape-like soul beasts. Their eyes radiated a dark red glow in the pitch-black night. Their majestic bodies made no sound as they moved, like evil spirits in the dark night, slowly approaching the Shrek encampment.
Blood red baboon.
Ling Bai sent out a gentle soul power to awaken the people in meditation, and suddenly remembered something:
"Are you interested in blood-red baboons?"
"You insult me?" Ling Qiuxi's delicate body trembled and she asked back coldly.
"I mean the sixth soul ring."
"Do I look like a retard to use the garbage blood of the Blood Red Baboon as the sixth soul ring of the Golden Dragon?"
"…It's settled."
