As it was getting close to evening, the warm sun set in the west, illuminating the sky red.
In the Soul Hunting Forest, all kinds of towering trees have dense branches and leaves, and the sunlight gradually cannot penetrate, and the light and temperature have dropped.
"Hey, Ye Zhiqiu, you've been searching for an hour now, and it's almost dark. Can you find a suitable soul beast for me? Do you want me to sleep in this Soul Hunting Forest tonight?" Ning Rongrong asked with a distressed look on her face. Her calves were stiff and painful. The path in the middle of the Soul Hunting Forest was difficult to navigate, full of potholes. She was just a pampered auxiliary soul master, how could she have such a good physique?
A few steps ahead of Ning Rongrong, Ye Zhiqiu was clearing the way with his back to her. In the central part of the Soul Hunting Forest, soul masters were not very active, not as many as in the periphery.
There were many vines and weeds that often blocked the way. Ye Zhiqiu could easily leap over them, but Ning Rongrong obviously didn't have that ability. In order to take care of this burden, Ye Zhiqiu had no choice but to slow down his pace.
Ever since Jian Douluo finished eating the barbecue, he had been keeping his eyes slightly narrowed, with his hands folded across his chest and a lazy look on his face, as if he was soundly asleep.
But he still followed the two of them closely. His attitude was very clear.
You take care of my girl's spirit ring, I won't do anything.
Ye Zhiqiu had no complaints about Jian Douluo's actions. He had said it himself. So he never expected Jian Douluo to help him because he didn't need it.
It's just that it's difficult to find a pure power-type soul beast suitable for Ning Rongrong, so things got delayed.
Along the way, Ye Zhiqiu and the other three also encountered other hundred-year-old soul beasts, but none of them were the pure power type that Ning Rongrong needed, so the two had to give up.
Although killing these soul beasts would result in negative emotional values, Ye Zhiqiu did not want to kill the soul beasts simply for the sake of negative emotional values, as this would go against his original intention.
If he could hunt soul beasts wantonly for the sake of negative emotion points today, then he could slaughter humans wantonly for the sake of negative emotion points in the future.
What's the difference between this and a demon? Ye Zhiqiu has his own bottom line.
Of course, if it was someone who took the initiative to cause trouble, Ye Zhiqiu would not show mercy. Or maybe this soul beast was just too delicious.
"Ah~ Ye Zhiqiu, did you hear me? I can't walk anymore." Ning Rongrong began to complain loudly.
Ye Zhiqiu turned around helplessly and said, "If it weren't for you, a burden, I would have walked around the Soul Hunting Forest three times. This is the eleventh time you've asked me if I could be quiet for a while. You're so loud that you've scared away all the soul beasts."
Ning Rongrong widened her eyes. How dare this bastard call me a burden?
Ning Rongrong was about to start scolding when Ye Zhiqiu turned around and walked back in three or two steps. Without waiting for her consent, he squatted slightly, picked up Ning Rongrong and carried her on his back twice.
Ning Rongrong was completely stunned.
Jian Douluo was also startled and opened his eyes. What was this kid trying to do? Taking advantage of my little darling?
"Hey, put me down," Ning Rongrong said, hitting Ye Zhiqiu's shoulder.
"I advise you to hold on tight, otherwise you might fall on your back." Ye Zhiqiu responded casually without turning his head, and then said to Jian Douluo, "Senior, it's too slow to find the soul beast in this way. Let's try another way. Don't lose it." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile.
Jian Douluo was stunned, and suddenly felt a little funny in his heart. How could I, a dignified Titled Douluo, lose track of a 7-year-old kid like you who is not even a soul master?
"No need to call me senior, just call me Grandpa Jian like Rongrong. Do whatever you want, don't worry about me," Jian Douluo said calmly with a smile. He was a little curious about what kind of surprises this little guy would bring him.
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, then Grandpa Jian, you have to catch up."
After finishing speaking, Ye Zhiqiu's eyes slowly closed, and the soul power in his body began to gradually boil.
"Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, open gate, rest gate, life gate. Open for me." A soft murmur came out slowly from Ye Zhiqiu's mouth, word by word.
"Swish, swish." A transparent aura with a hint of light green rose from Ye Zhiqiu's body. His black robe moved without wind. A unique pressure spread from Ye Zhiqiu's body and spread to the surroundings.
Ye Zhiqiu suddenly opened his eyes, and three scarlet magatama slowly rotated in his pupils. Opening the Sharingan could greatly improve his dynamic vision. Otherwise, the high speed brought by opening three of the Eight Gates would probably cause him to crash into a tree.
After opening the third door, Ye Zhiqiu's skin turned slightly red and became a little hot. Ning Rongrong on his back could clearly feel the burning sensation.
"Ye Zhiqiu, please let me go."
"Boom~!" An explosion-like sound rang out.
Ye Zhiqiu shot out like a flash of green lightning, leaving behind only a small dent, created by his powerful kick, and a crack in the ground that stretched a meter or two.
"Fuck!" Jian Douluo was stunned and cursed unconsciously. Is this really something a soul master can do?
At this speed, even a three-ringed Agility Attack Soul Master couldn't catch up even with his full strength, right? A four-ringed Agility Attack Soul Master could probably barely keep up.
If he gets a spirit ring, this kid's physique will be strengthened, won't he be able to fly to the sky? Feng Zhi, I think I picked up a treasure.
Jian Douluo didn't have time to think too much and hurried to catch up. With a slight shake, he disappeared without a sound.
The title of Douluo is indeed not in vain, and his every move and gesture reveals the style of a master. Judging from the control of energy and physical body between Jian Douluo and Ye Zhiqiu, the difference between the two is huge.
After a while, Jian Douluo caught up. However, he did not intend to go forward, but just kept a distance of about a hundred meters between him and Ye Zhiqiu, hanging from a distance.
He wanted Ye Zhiqiu to go ahead and do it, and at the same time see if this child could give him another surprise.
"Cough cough." When Ning Rongrong was speaking, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly exerted force. The speed of the explosion made Ning Rongrong take a big breath of air, choking her so much that tears and saliva came out.
In retaliation, she pressed her face against the clothes on Ye Zhiqiu's back and rubbed it.
Ye Zhiqiu, who was running at full speed, frowned and slapped Ning Rongrong's little butt hard.
"Ah!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed with a red face, not daring to be presumptuous anymore.
She put her arms around Ye Zhiqiu's neck, lay on his back, and secretly glanced around. However, with her eyesight, she could only see the scenery in the distance. The scenery nearby was fleeting. The "swish" sound of retreating made Ning Rongrong dizzy. She couldn't help but hold her hands tighter, for she was afraid of being thrown off.
Along the way, Ye Zhiqiu broke into the territories of many soul beasts and passed by them.
Many soul beasts roared in anger, but when they wanted to catch up and teach the two humans a lesson, they were suddenly confused. Where are the humans?
After running and searching for more than ten minutes, Ye Zhiqiu stopped on the branch of a tree more than ten meters high in a relatively flat open space.
He patted Ning Rongrong's little butt and said, "Don't be an ostrich. This Earth Explosion Bear is over 380 years old. It should be quite suitable for you."
