Rendezvous

When Nan Fusheng looked through the eyes of his Spirit Soul Spirit, an endless green ocean stretched before him, rolling away as far as the eye could see.

The sky was clear, the clouds sparse, and the greenery boundless. The enormous tree canopies gave off an indescribable sense of life, as though this world possessed inexhaustible vitality.

This was far too realistic!

Nan Fusheng could not help marveling again. Just then, he spotted a cyan bird soaring through the air. With a thought, he used Parasitism.

The cyan bird stiffened briefly, then spread its wings and flew upward.

As the bird flew through the air, Nan Fusheng's Time Worm emitted a white glow. Looking down through the bird's eyes, he could not help but recite, Flying is the highest realm of enjoying freedom!

Though what came from his mouth was only a sharp cry. At that moment, an equally piercing cry sounded from nearby.

That was a distress signal!

That was Bird Nan Fusheng's immediate judgment. It seemed that after using Parasitism, he could roughly understand their language as well. Nan Fusheng silently noted this discovery.

At the same time, he had the bird fly toward the source of the sound. The moment he arrived, Nan Fusheng saw Zhang Yangzi press his Rescue Signal Device!

In an instant, Zhang Yangzi transformed into a stream of data-like light and vanished from where he stood. At least a hundred Cyan Birds were circling nearby, apparently searching for something.

Nan Fusheng took one look and immediately flew away. Though his main body had also used Spiritual Power to send a warning, this Doppelganger should not stray too far away.

He just did not know how that unlucky kid Zhang Yangzi had provoked so many Soul Beasts. He had barely entered before getting a game over.

"Next, I should look for the others."

Nan Fusheng, leaning against a tree trunk, opened his eyes. He was a cautious Mage! How could he possibly rush forward to fight to the death himself? Naturally, he had to let his reliable teammates go first.

Nan Fusheng headed forward. Based on the bird's vision, Xie Xie should be ahead, and he seemed to have caused quite a commotion.

At this moment, Xie Xie's emotions were extremely complicated. Not long after entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, he had relied on his own strength to kill a Century-Level Long-tailed Mouse, allowing his Soul Spirit to improve slightly. But soon afterward, he encountered a Century-Level Unicorn Dragon.

Seeing such a ferocious Soul Beast as a Bipedal Horned Dragon, Xie Xie's mouth went dry. Every Soul Beast he had encountered today was something he had only seen in records, whether books or videos.

He had an excellent memory, so he clearly remembered that Bipedal Horned Dragons possessed the bloodline of dragon-type Soul Beasts and were a type of Earth Dragon. Their physical strength was extraordinarily powerful, placing them among the best of the Earth Dragons.

They could run swiftly through forests with complex terrain and excelled at jumping and charging. Though they had no long-range attacks, they possessed a stubborn temperament that would not rest until death. Once they locked onto a target, they would pursue it relentlessly until they killed it.

A Century-Level Unicorn Dragon? What kind of luck was this? It was said that in ancient times, Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Masters feared this kind of Soul Beast the most. Not only were they fast, but their defense and offense were powerful, and their endurance was exceptional.

He had only just reached two rings. Even at full strength, he would be no match for it, much less now. And why was this thing charging straight at him?

Boom— Just as Xie Xie was brooding inwardly, the Century-Level Unicorn Dragon had already rushed beneath the tree he was in. Without the slightest hesitation, it rammed directly into the trunk.

Amid a violent crash, the massive tree, which required two people to encircle it, snapped in half. Xie Xie lightly tapped a branch with his toes and quickly sprang into the air, landing on another tree. At the same time, a question arose in his mind. This thing only had thick hind legs, while its forelimbs looked weak. It should not be able to climb trees, right?

Hope was beautiful, but reality was cruel. After smashing down one tree, the Unicorn Dragon immediately turned and charged toward where Xie Xie had landed. This time, it did not ram the tree. Instead, it suddenly leaped up, rising level with Xie Xie. Opening its jaws, it bit straight at him.

A Golden Light Blade slashed out. It left a pale mark about a centimeter deep in the Unicorn Dragon's thick head scales, but failed to knock it down. Left with no choice, Xie Xie leaped again, jumping toward another tree.

The Unicorn Dragon's massive body was astonishingly agile. Its huge hind legs pushed against the tree trunk, and it chased directly after Xie Xie. Its speed was not the slightest bit inferior to Xie Xie's.

It truly was the nemesis of Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Masters!

Xie Xie did not dare confront it head-on. He knew that even if he used Light Dragon Storm, charging at it would likely be suicidal. This Unicorn Dragon's defense was far too formidable, even comparable to an Iron-Armored Dragon, yet its body was much more agile.

He fled in a panic, but the Unicorn Dragon pursued him relentlessly, constantly drawing closer. Xie Xie's Soul Power and stamina were both being steadily depleted.

Could it be that he could only press the Rescue Signal Device? Xie Xie was filled with unwillingness. This was his first time coming to the Spirit Ascension Platform! Was it really going to end just like this?

Roar! The Century-Level Unicorn Dragon let out an enraged roar. The deafening sound wave slowed Xie Xie's steps slightly. Behind him, a terrifying gust of wind surged forward, about to slam into his back.

Xie Xie closed his eyes and raised his hand toward the Rescue Signal Device. He had no desire to experience the feeling of broken bones and torn tendons.

Just then, his waist suddenly tightened. Immediately afterward, his body was pulled sideways through the air. With a bang, the Unicorn Dragon smashed down another tree, but it did not hit him.

Xie Xie was all too familiar with this feeling of being pulled. Overjoyed, his hand froze in midair before it could press the Rescue Signal Device.

The Unicorn Dragon remained relentless, turning to continue chasing him. Suddenly, its body stiffened, and its running steps stopped completely. Yet under the momentum of its charge, its entire body still hurtled toward Xie Xie.

At that moment, a ball of silver light shot past Xie Xie, accompanied by a loud shout.

"Get lost!"

Then the silver light smashed fiercely into the Unicorn Dragon's head.

Bang! The Unicorn Dragon, over three meters long and immensely powerful, was sent flying by the blow. Its body crashed to the ground and did not get back up.

Tang Wulin withdrew his Blue Silver Grass and asked Xie Xie, "Are you okay?" He had been nearby. Earlier, the Unicorn Dragon's heavy footsteps had awakened him, and after climbing a tree, he had seen Xie Xie being attacked.

"I'm fine." Xie Xie panted. He had truly been at death's door just now. Sweat was pouring down his back. "Be careful. Unicorn Dragons are always stubborn. Once they lock onto a target, they won't let it go easily."

Tang Wulin smiled. "Did you forget? Dragon-type Soul Beasts are what I fear least. I'll compete with it in strength." As he spoke, Golden Scales emerged across his right arm, and a faint dragon's might gradually radiated from his body.

Just as the two of them prepared themselves, the fallen Bipedal Horned Dragon did not get back up.

One second, two seconds...

After five seconds, the Bipedal Horned Dragon still had not risen. Xie Xie could not help asking Tang Wulin, "You didn't knock that Bipedal Horned Dragon down with one hit, did you?"

"No. That blow should have only been enough to send it flying." Tang Wulin replied, somewhat puzzled.

He could clearly sense that his Blue Silver Grass had at most knocked the Century-Level Bipedal Horned Dragon away without breaking through its defenses. Yet the current situation confused him.

"I say, you two, if you don't finish off that big guy, we're really going to have a hard fight later."

A voice entered their ears. Nan Fusheng emerged from the bushes and spoke to them.

"Fusheng!" Tang Wulin and Xie Xie exclaimed.

Nan Fusheng said nothing, merely pointing at the Century-Level Unicorn Dragon. Tang Wulin immediately understood and walked over, piercing the Unicorn Dragon's head with a Golden Dragon Claw.

Pfft! Whether it was the Unicorn Dragon's thick head scales or its hard skull, both seemed to turn to paper in that instant as Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw pierced through them.

A faint yellow glow then flowed out. Little Snake poked its golden head out, opened its mouth, and happily swallowed the glow into its belly. Layers of pale golden radiance rippled across its body, making for a beautiful sight.
