Black-Clad Girl
It was a tough journey!
This seemingly peaceful and vibrant forest, however, brought Lu Yuan enormous trouble.
Along the way, they encountered several waves of attacks from Soul Beast, but fortunately, Lu Yuan was strong enough to kill Soul Beast all.
Night falls!
Spending the night in the forest is an extremely dangerous thing, especially when Lu Yuan is all alone. Just the roars of the Soul Beast echoing through the forest at night are enough to make Lu Yuan be on high alert.
While meditating to recover his energy and strength, Lu Yuan also focused all his spiritual awareness on the task at hand, not daring to relax in the slightest.
This forest is vast, and it would likely take a considerable amount of time to traverse it, so Lu Yuan must ensure he has sufficient stamina.
Fortunately, everything went quite smoothly. Despite the constant sounds of Soul Beast, Lu Yuan managed to spend his first night in the forest safely.
As the sun rose and its rays fell, Lu Yuan opened his eyes.
After washing up briefly and eating some dry rations, Lu Yuan continued on his way.
The forest is too big. The sooner I get out, the sooner I can reunite with my senior sister. I suppose she's looking for me now.
Thinking of Hu Liena, a slight smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips.
Carrying the World-Shocking Spear, Lu Yuan advanced once more.
"Roar!" With a tiger's roar, Lu Yuan's World-Shocking Spear pierced through the body of another Exploding Flame Tiger, a thousand-year-old Exploding Flame Tiger.
Lu Yuan withdrew his World-Shocking Spear without any emotional fluctuation. This was the third time he had encountered a thousand-year-old Soul Beast today, and of course, he had killed them all one by one in the face of Lu Yuan's powerful strength.
Lu Yuan habitually made cuts on the Exploding Flame Tiger. It was obvious that a thousand-year-old Exploding Flame Tiger wouldn't have anything as valuable as Soul Bone, but Lu Yuan wasn't disappointed; he had already prepared himself for it.
He cut some fresh tiger meat, processed it, and put it into his Star Ring. He didn't have much food with him, and he had a big appetite, so he would finish it sooner or later.
As for why he didn't bring more, it's because the meat of these Soul Beast can't be stored for long before it spoils. So Lu Yuan only brought enough for a few meals at most, and he wouldn't eat spoiled meat.
So for now, he'll eat the meat of these Soul Beast first. As for the dry rations, those are specially made and have a long shelf life.
Lu Yuan regretted that he didn't understand ice-type abilities. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to worry about bringing too much food from those Soul Beasts and it spoiling. He could have just frozen it, and then he wouldn't have had to worry about food.
Noon!
Before he knew it, Lu Yuan had been walking for several hours, and it was now noon.
Lu Yuan found a relatively open space, lit a campfire, and began roasting the meat of the Exploding Flame Tiger.
You can't light a campfire at night in the forest, because the firelight will attract the attention of many Soul Beasts. However, during the day, the strong sunlight has little effect.
Moreover, the flesh of the Exploding Flame Tiger was still covered in Sisi blood, so it was better to cook it thoroughly before eating. Lu Yuan had never had the habit of eating raw meat.
Lu Yuan is a good cook and likes to carry some seasonings with him, such as salt, perilla, and honey, all of which are in Lu Yuan Star Ring.
Under the scorching heat of the flames, the flesh of the Exploding Flame Tiger began to shrink, and drops of golden fat slowly dripped from it.
Lu Yuan methodically sprinkled on the seasonings and then smeared on the honey, turning each piece of meat a golden color and emitting a rich aroma.
The pieces of meat that Lu Yuan cut were large and long, skewered on clean willow branches, glistening with an oily sheen, and looked very appetizing.
Three skewers were grilled in total, weighing about ten pounds. Lu Yuan noticed that his appetite seemed to be growing, and the Exploding Flame Tiger was a thousand-year-old Soul Beast, so its meat was very good for Lu Yuan's body.
At least the nutrition is sufficient.
As he gradually extinguished the flames, leaving only glowing embers, Lu Yuan picked up a skewer of grilled meat, took a sniff, and was greeted by a rich aroma. Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, realizing that his culinary skills were as excellent as ever.
Lu Yuan picked up a skewer and was about to take a bite when suddenly a figure in the distance entered Lu Yuan field of vision.
It was a girl dressed in a black leather jacket. She had an outstanding figure, but her jade-like face was full of coldness, and her dark eyes were also filled with bone-chilling coldness.
It was Zhu Zhuqing, whom Lu Yuan had met once before, but she seemed to be in a bad state at the moment!
There were two obvious wounds on his arms, from which blood was constantly flowing. There also seemed to be a wound on his lower abdomen. His jade-like face was pale, and he swayed as he ran, as if even his Soul Power had reached its limit.
Behind her, a mosquito as big as a millstone was chasing her. This mosquito had two pairs of blood-red wings, each pair of which was covered with golden patterns.
This is the Blood-Winged Golden Mosquito, a top-tier hunting-type Soul Beast on par with the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The one chasing Zhu Zhuqing was clearly a thousand years old, which explains why Zhu Zhuqing was so badly injured.
Lu Yuan saw Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing naturally saw Lu Yuan as well.
A glimmer of surprise flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, then dimmed instantly. Her eyes filled with struggle, and she turned to the right, running away with faltering steps.
Lu Yuan was startled. He had just seen the surprise in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes and thought that Zhu Zhuqing would run towards him, lure the Blood-Winged Golden Mosquito over, and then make him fight the Blood-Winged Golden Mosquito while she withdrew herself.
To Lu Yuan's surprise, she turned around and left.
I never expected that this girl with such a cold expression had Kindness Goddess heart.
Lu Yuan smiled faintly. If Zhu Zhuqing had chosen to shift the blame earlier, she would have had no chance of survival. Lu Yuan hated being schemed against, and Zhu Zhuqing was one of the Shrek Seven Devils in the original story. Lu Yuan didn't have a good impression of the Shrek Seven Devils now.
As for the thousand-year-old Blood-Winged Golden Mosquito, Lu Yuan didn't take it seriously; he could kill it easily.
But Zhu Zhuqing's choice now shocked Lu Yuan and touched a soft spot in his heart. Such a beautiful and Kindness Goddess girl, and he just wanted to watch her die in front of him. Lu Yuan couldn't bear it.
Carrying the World-Shocking Spear, Lu Yuan's figure vanished from the spot like the wind.
Zhu Zhuqing was severely injured and her Soul Power was exhausted. She couldn't even possess Martial Soul Possession, so how could she escape the pursuit of the Blood-Winged Golden Mosquito?
Zhu Zhuqing staggered forward, her body lunging forward, and the sharp proboscis of the Blood-Winged Golden Mosquito stabbed fiercely at Zhu Zhuqing body from behind.
Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes in despair. Her fiancé had left home and abandoned her, and her future was already bleak. Now, she was going to die at the hands of a mosquito. Two lines of tears streamed down Zhu Zhuqing's face as she thought to herself, "Perhaps, this is my destiny!"
