Chapter 40 Two Thousand Years of Ghost Leopard
Although the Soul Hunting Forest in the north of Notting City is not as good as the Sunset Forest and the Star Dou Forest, there are still many types of low-level soul beasts.
Ye Liangchen felt that the age of the soul beasts in this forest should not exceed 3,000 years. After all, these were only soul beasts kept in captivity by the empire.
In addition to the soldiers guarding the entrance to the Soul Hunting Forest, there is also the Wuhun Palace Law Enforcement Group, which regularly patrols the interior of the forest to prevent poaching.
In fact, the main purpose of the law enforcement team is to prevent illegal poaching by the soul hunting teams. After all, in addition to soul rings and soul bones, soul beasts' meat, skin, and teeth are very valuable. There are many free soul masters who will take risks.
"Ouch..."
"rustle…"
Deep in the forest, many ten-year and century-old soul beasts were walking in the forest. When they saw the intrusion of Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhuqing, they all became alert.
"Meow..."
Zhu Zhuqing immediately summoned his martial spirit and transformed into a ferocious cat-eared girl, ready to deal with the attack of the spirit beast at any time.
Ye Liangchen also took out the long sword from the soul guide to guard against these soul beasts.
"Ouch..."
Suddenly, two ghost wolves that were about three hundred years old rushed out of the woods, roaring and rushing toward the two of them.
These two Netherworld wolves were about one and a half meters long, as big as calves, and their bodies glowed with yellow light, which was the hallmark of century-old spirit beasts.
"Brother Chen, be careful."
"Netherworld Thrust"
Zhu Zhuqing directly activated his first soul skill and transformed into an agile ghost civet. His fingers turned into sharp claws and he quickly grabbed the two ghost wolves.
"Roar…"
Ye Liangchen punched out with a tiger-shaped fist, and his soul power turned into a huge tiger claw, knocking back the two Netherworld wolves.
"Ouch..."
After the two ghost wolves were repelled, they stood in the distance, staring at the two men with bared teeth, ready to launch a second wave of attacks at any time.
"Zhuqing, I will assist you. You can use these two hundred-year-old ghost wolves to practice your skills, but don't kill them. Just fight them off. If you kill them, the smell of blood may attract other powerful soul beasts."
"Swish..."
Ye Liangchen quickly summoned the goddess martial spirit, activated the second soul skill, and blessed Zhu Zhuqing.
"Life Blessing."
A green light shot out from Ye Liangchen's hand and poured into Zhu Zhuqing's body, instantly doubling her combat power.
"Brother Chen, your auxiliary soul skills are so powerful. It feels like my overall strength has doubled several times."
Zhu Zhuqing never expected that Ye Liangchen had such powerful auxiliary skills. It was so unexpected.
"Go try it!"
Ye Liangchen withdrew his martial soul and spread his consciousness, alerting the two hundred-year-old ghost wolves within a radius of 100 meters, which also scared away other soul beasts that were less than a hundred years old.
"Okay Brother Chen."
"Swish..."
Zhu Zhuqing rushed over quickly, only to see an afterimage flash by, and instantly rushed in front of the two century-old ghost wolves, turning on the food abuse mode.
"ha…"
"Ouch..."
The increase in strength also made Zhu Zhuqing more courageous. The two century-old ghost wolves were defeated steadily in front of her powerful power.
"Aww...aoww..."
Three minutes later, two hundred-year-old ghost wolves fled in all directions with their tails between their legs.
The Nether Wolf expected to have a full meal today, but he didn't expect to encounter a tigress and was beaten to the point where he suspected that the wolf had given birth.
"Brother Chen, what kind of martial spirit is that beautiful goddess martial spirit of yours? I remember when you rescued me, it seemed to have a wrapping function. Why does it have auxiliary skills now?"
Zhu Zhuqing ran to Ye Liangchen and asked curiously. At this moment, she still maintained strong strength and felt that she could fight against the Soul Sect.
"My goddess martial spirit has two abilities: attack and auxiliary. The auxiliary spirit skill just added to you is called Life Blessing. It can increase all your attributes by 30% within 10 minutes."
"All attributes increased by 30%? No wonder I feel that my strength has increased several times. Brother Chen, your martial spirit actually has two abilities: attack and assist. It's so awesome."
"Diaoyu, it's okay, let's go! Let's continue looking for the soul beast."
"Oh well."
While the two were chatting, they set off towards the depths of the forest. Ye Liangchen planned to find a two-thousand-year-old lightning leopard for the kitten. After all, with the help of his cheating, this girl's physical strength had been greatly improved. With her current strength, absorbing a two-thousand-year-old soul ring would not be a big problem.
The Millennium Soul Beast is a rare animal in the Soul Hunting Forest. The two searched for it for a day, but still couldn't find the right one.
"Zhuqing, let's stay here tonight and look for it tomorrow. If there's nothing suitable yet, we'll go directly to the Star Forest."
"Brother Chen, I will listen to your arrangements."
In the evening, the two found a small cave of about three square meters and planned to spend the night here.
"Brother Chen, this cave is not very big. Let's cut down some tree trunks and build a simple door to block the entrance of the cave to make it safer."
"no problem."
Just do what you say, men and women work together, and the work is not tiring. The two of them directly chopped some tree trunks as thick as a bowl with their knives and cut them into sections. Then they found some ropes and tied the tree trunks into a shape. A simple guardrail blocks the entrance to the hole.
In order to be safer, Ye Liangchen also moved some big rocks and built a wall outside the cave entrance.
Zhu Zhuqing sprinkled a layer of medicinal powder outside the cave entrance to prevent snakes and insects from approaching. He also placed many leaves outside the cave entrance to cover the entire cave entrance.
"Zhuqing, I didn't expect that you have quite a lot of experience in surviving in the wild!" Ye Liangchen was also surprised when he saw the kitten's skillful skills.
"Brother Chen, I went to the forest with my sister-in-law before. I learned all this from her. As a soul master, I must learn to survive in the wild. At home, I was often suppressed by my sister and could not practice well, so I had to run away Hiding in the mountains to practice..."
Zhu Zhuqing also told Ye Liangchen some interesting stories about her survival in the wild. People were forced out.
"Eat some dry food first. Conditions are limited. We can't cook tonight, so we can only cope with it with some dry food."
Ye Liangchen lit a fire, then took out a pot of water and some dry food from the soul guide for dinner.
"Don't worry! Brother Chen, I've long been used to this kind of life."
Zhu Zhuqing felt that being with the person he liked, even drinking water, was extremely sweet.
"Ouch..."
"Zhizhi..."
In the dead of night, the screams of various soul beasts could be heard from far away in the forest, making people's scalp numb.
Ye Liangchen could even feel a soul beast passing by dozens of meters away from the cave entrance. Fortunately, the two people had blocked the entrance of the cave before, otherwise they might have been discovered by those soul beasts.
"Brother Chen, you can go to sleep. I'll keep watch for you."
"Let's go together. The entrance of the cave is protected by a wooden door and a stone wall. There should be no problem with safety. We need to be energetic and look for the soul beast again tomorrow."
"Okay, Brother Chen."
The two of them each took out their sleeping bags, spread out their quilts, got in directly, and began to sleep.
Just when Ye Liangchen was drowsily asleep, a figure came directly in, waking him up all of a sudden.
"Kitten! How did you get in here?"
Looking at the kitten sitting next to him, Ye Liangchen was speechless. If he continued like this, something would happen sooner or later.
"Brother Chen, I can't sleep alone. Can you chat with me?"
The little cat found a lame excuse and then lay down directly next to Ye Liangchen.
"Okay! It's up to you, but you can't take advantage of me!" Ye Liangchen waved his hand indifferently.
"Pfft...! Brother Chen, shouldn't this be what we women said?" Zhu Zhuqing was immediately amused by this guy.
"Aunt Lan and the others once told me that boys should remember to protect themselves when they are outside, especially when they encounter female gangsters."
After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he moved to the side, leaving the little cat speechless.
"Brother Chen, do you think I'm a female gangster?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Liangchen, as if he would eat him, so he twisted his mouth, grabbed the other person's hand, and pulled him to his side.
"Little kitten! You don't have martial ethics and are engaging in sneak attacks."
Ye Liangchen felt that the kitten had become crooked, and the once peaceful kitten was gone.
"Brother Chen, stop talking and go to sleep!"
"Didn't you say you wanted to chat?"
"I don't want to talk now, let's go to sleep."
Zhu Zhuqing hugged Ye Liangchen's arm tightly and felt a sense of security. A smile appeared on his face, and then he gradually fell into a deep sleep.
After a night of silence, the next morning, the two of them were awakened by a faint sound.
"Ouch..."
"Bang bang..."
Sounds continued to come from a distance, mixed with the sounds of fighting.
"Brother Chen, it seems like there are soul beasts fighting."
"Come on, let's go take a look. Maybe there is a soul beast suitable for you."
The two got up, walked out of the cave, found a creek, washed briefly, and then quietly sneaked in the direction where the spirit beasts were fighting.
"Ouch..."
"Ho ho ho..."
When the two came to a valley a thousand meters away, they found a ghost leopard and a wild boar fighting. Both soul beasts were up to a thousand years old. The ghost leopard was up to 2,000 years old and the wild boar was up to 2,500 years old. Year.
"Zhuqing, if you can't find the Lightning Shadow Leopard, just kill that ghost leopard and make it your third soul ring."
Ye Liangchen decided to let the little cat absorb the spirit ring of the 2,000-year-old ghost leopard. Anyway, her martial spirit was that of a ghost civet, which had similar attributes to the ghost leopard.
"Brother Chen, you decide! I will listen to your arrangements."
The ghost leopard is a top-level animal soul ring with powerful strength and speed. Zhu Zhuqing also feels that this soul beast may bring different changes to himself.
"Zhuqing, let me tell you, I heard that there is a titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall called Ghost Leopard Douluo. His martial spirit is Ghost Leopard. This kind of martial spirit is considered top-notch among beast martial spirits. "
"Ghost Leopard Douluo? So powerful!"
When Zhu Zhuqing heard that there was such a strong person in the Spirit Hall, the Ghost Leopard Spirit was much more powerful than the Nether Spirit Cat Spirit.
"The age of this ghost leopard has reached 2,000 years. Zhuqing, the pills I asked you to take before have given you a strong physical quality. Now you want to challenge the limit. Do you have the confidence?"
Ye Liangchen directly told the age of the ghost leopard so that the girl could be mentally prepared.
"Brother Chen, since I met you, my strength has improved a lot. My strength is at least twice as strong as before. I am confident."
Zhu Zhuqing learned about Ye Liangchen's heaven-defying soul ring configuration and wanted to challenge his own limits.
"Then we'll wait for the opportunity and take action again."
The two of them hid in a big tree and quietly watched the two soul beasts fighting.
"Ho ho ho..."
"Bang bang..."
The battle scene between the two-thousand-year-old spirit beasts was very destructive. Within a hundred meters, dust was flying, gravel was flying, and many trees were broken.
An hour later, the wild boar was finally defeated. Its stomach was torn apart by the ghost leopard, and it was dying. But the ghost leopard didn't feel well either. One of its hind legs was pierced by the wild boar's fangs, and one of its front legs was bitten off. After the battle, both sides were injured.
"Zhuqing, do it."
"clear."
The two men immediately summoned their martial souls and killed the two soul beasts.
"Life Blessing."
Ye Liangchen directly used his second soul skill to assist Zhu Zhuqing, instantly increasing her overall strength by 30%, allowing her to fight as hard as she could.
"Ho ho ho..."
Although the ghost leopard had two broken legs, it was still very powerful. Seeing two humans coming to kill him, how could he be willing to die? So he opened his mouth, revealing his sharp teeth, ready to fight back at any time.
"Shua..."
"Zhuqing, torture the ghost leopard, don't kill it all at once, torture it hard until it suspects that the leopard is alive, and then kill it."
After Ye Liangchen killed the wild boar with one sword, he remembered that soul beasts would most likely produce external soul bones when they were extremely resentful, so he asked Zhu Zhuqing to give it a try.
"Brother Chen, don't worry!"
Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't know why she did this, she would do whatever Ye Liangchen said.
"Meow..."
"Ho ho ho..."
Zhu Zhuqing was now assisted by Ye Liangchen, and he was very powerful. In addition, the ghost leopard had lost two of its legs, so there was not much strength left, so he was suppressed and beaten by Zhu Zhuqing the whole time.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
Twenty minutes later, the ghost leopard was beaten with bruises all over his body. Zhu Zhuqing directly launched the final blow and killed the ghost leopard with one knife.
"Replenish your soul power, adjust your state to the best, and prepare to absorb this soul ring."
Ye Liangchen took out two soul power pills and put them into Zhu Zhuqing's mouth to keep her in the best condition.
"Buzzing..."
As soon as Ghost Leopard died, the purple soul power aura gradually condensed into a large purple circle.
"Brother Chen, I'm going to start."
Zhu Zhuqingpan sat on the ground, summoned his martial soul, and began to absorb this two-thousand-year-old soul ring.
"Ahhhh..."
The moment the purple soul ring was attached to Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul, a powerful force rushed into her body, causing her to scream.
"Buzzing..."
"Zhuqing, I'm here to help you. You immediately mobilize the energy in the soul ring and integrate it into your physical body."
Ye Liangchen also used the Life Blessing Soul Skill to bless Zhu Zhuqing.
"Brother Chen, don't worry, I can handle it."
After receiving the assistance, Zhu Zhuqing quickly used powerful force to suppress the energy in the soul and began to absorb the soul ring with all his strength.
An hour later, a tiny drop of blood appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's body. Ye Liangchen used his spiritual consciousness to sense the situation in her body and found that there was no big problem.
Zhu Zhuqing kept telling himself in his heart that if he wanted to break his fate, he had to become stronger.
Human potential is endless. If you don't push yourself, you won't know how much potential you have.
Zhu Zhuqing kept pushing herself. After three hours, she finally succeeded in absorbing it. A powerful aura erupted directly from her body. She was successfully promoted to Soul Master, and her soul power reached level 32.
"Brother Chen, I succeeded."
Zhu Zhuqing jumped up from the ground, threw herself into Ye Liangchen's arms, and cheered excitedly.
"Kitten! Not bad."
Ye Liangchen knew that the little kitten would succeed. He had cheated on this girl before and let her take the Foundation Building Pill and the Body Tempering Pill. He also taught her the full set of Five Elements Divine Fist, which made her body very powerful for a mere two thousand years. Soul rings are nothing at all.
