Surrounded

Surrounded

Taishi Ming held a longsword and shot forward like an arrow.

He did not stop until he was fifteen meters away.

"This isn't the second method of use. Charge forward in a stabbing posture, increasing speed by fifty percent. During the charge, you enter an invincible state and ignore all damage below god level."

Dai Zhirou froze for a moment at his words.

Then, the scene from her battle with the Unicorn Tiger surfaced in her mind: she had used her Fourth Soul Ring Skill, Thousand Blade Slash, to block it, yet had failed to hurt it in the slightest.

No wonder!

She was immediately overjoyed. Not only was this move a powerful attack, but at critical moments, it could also be used offensively as a defense, avoiding all damage in an invincible state.

With this, Taishi Ming's ability to survive would greatly increase.

At last, she could not help but praise him. "As expected of a spirit bone produced by a ten-thousand-year Unicorn Tiger!"

"Yeah!"

Taishi Ming replied sincerely as well, because this spirit bone was not an ordinary spirit bone. It was a special External Spirit Bone.

Dai Zhirou said, "Now we should continue looking for the Soul Beast you need for your second soul ring."

Taishi Ming smiled and pointed at a patch of grass not far behind Dai Zhirou. "Second Sister, look. What's that?"

"???"

Dai Zhirou was somewhat puzzled, but she still turned to look.

It was just an ordinary patch of grass!

She grew even more confused and turned back to look at Taishi Ming in puzzlement.

Taishi Ming said, "Second Sister, look carefully at that patch of grass. Isn't the soil beneath it unusually loose?"

Dai Zhirou looked again. Upon closer inspection, it really was.

Then she said in surprise, "You're observant! But so what?"

Taishi Ming smiled. "Second Sister, you definitely didn't listen properly in class. In the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range, there is a Soul Beast that lives underground and particularly likes the relatively damp soil beneath patches of grass."

"The key is that wherever it appears, the soil becomes extremely loose."

Dai Zhirou cried out, "A Dragon Blood Earthworm!"

"So, I told you your luck is ridiculously good. You casually kill a Unicorn Tiger and get a spirit bone. You casually hide behind a tree and find the Soul Beast I need. This is unbelievable!"

Dai Zhirou did not waste any words. She immediately released her martial soul, once again transforming into her half-human, half-spider form.

Then, her eight blade-like spider legs slashed wildly through the patch of grass.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The grass was cut down in droves, while countless holes were punched into the ground by her spider legs.

Finally, as Dai Zhirou's spider legs came down once more, blood seeped out of the ground.

At the same time, a shrill scream rang out.

Boom!

An enormous seven-meter-long blood-red earthworm burst from the ground.

Its huge mouth at the front gaped wide open. Even from far away, Taishi Ming could smell its rank stench.

He could clearly see the sharp teeth filling its mouth.

If it bit someone, that would be an absolute tragedy.

However, Taishi Ming was overjoyed.

Before a Dragon Blood Earthworm reached a thousand years, it grew one centimeter every year. This one was seven meters long, which meant it was seven hundred years old.

The maximum limit for a second soul ring was seven hundred and sixty-four years, so it could not have been more suitable.

"Second Sister, kill it!"

Dai Zhirou said, "Do you even need to tell me that?"

Without even using a soul skill, she swung a spider leg and sliced it into two halves.

It could not be helped. One was merely a hundred-year Soul Beast, while the other possessed the strength of a Soul King. The gap in power was simply too great; it did not even have the ability to resist.

Taishi Ming eagerly stepped forward and delivered the finishing blow. A yellow soul ring then floated out of its body.

He immediately sat down and used Soul Power to draw it over.

He began absorbing it with all his strength.

Dai Zhirou remained completely alert. She did not want Taishi Ming to be injured by a Soul Beast that suddenly appeared.

The scene shifted.

Zhang Dong, Nancheng, and Xifeng, who had been pursuing Dai Zhirou and Taishi Ming,

were now following the route the two had taken earlier, slowly closing in on their current location.

It turned out that among Zhang Dong, Nancheng, and Xifeng, Zhang Dong possessed the Earth Wolf Dog martial soul.

After Martial Soul Possession, he gained an exceptionally keen sense of smell.

This was the ability they had used to continuously pursue the Unicorn Tiger earlier, and now they were using it to track Dai Zhirou and Taishi Ming.

Zhang Dong said, "Damn it, tracking people really is much harder than tracking Soul Beasts."

Nancheng said, "Of course it is. Once someone enters the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range, who wouldn't sprinkle some specially made substance on themselves to conceal their scent?"

Zhang Dong said, "Luckily, although this scent is difficult to detect, we can barely track it. Otherwise, we would have missed this opportunity."

"Quiet!"

At that moment, Xifeng, who had not spoken for a while, softly stopped the two.

Zhang Dong and Nancheng looked at Xifeng in confusion, as if asking what was wrong.

Xifeng did not speak. Instead, he pointed in a certain direction.

Zhang Dong and Nancheng immediately looked that way. Through the gaps between the trees, they could barely make out a faint glow.

It was the glow emitted by a soul ring.

"Someone!"

The two were instantly delighted, because the chance of encountering people in the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range was extremely low.

Moreover, they had followed the scent here, so the owner of that glow had to be the people they were tracking.

The three exchanged glances, then tacitly spread out in three directions and simultaneously surrounded the location of the glow.

A few minutes later, from three different positions, they each clearly saw the owner of the glow.

It was the little boy from the pair they had seen earlier.

He was currently absorbing a soul ring!

To them, this was absolutely wonderful news.

After all, in this situation, the young woman they feared would be completely tied down.

Yet if she stayed too far from the little boy, the young woman's combat strength would certainly be restricted as well.

The only thing that unsettled them now was whether other powerful figures were secretly protecting the two.

After all, the young woman was too young. They still doubted that she could have killed a ten-thousand-year Unicorn Tiger.

Therefore, the three did not immediately emerge to launch a surprise attack.

Instead, they carefully searched the surrounding area.

Dai Zhirou stood closely in front of Taishi Ming, protecting him. Her expression did not change, but a trace of urgency flashed in her eyes.

Because she had already noticed someone spying on her and Taishi Ming.

The wisest choice in this situation was to flee.

After all, the enemy was hidden while they were exposed. Without knowing the other side's strength, that was the only thing they could do.

But Taishi Ming was currently absorbing a soul ring and could not move at all.

So although she was extremely anxious, she held herself together.

She could not let the enemy see even the slightest opening. Only then might she buy them some time.

She subconsciously glanced at Taishi Ming and thought, It's already been over ten minutes. It should be almost done, right? Hurry up! Otherwise, we're doomed!

Time passed bit by bit.

At last, Zhang Dong, Nancheng, and Xifeng finished checking the surroundings. There was no one secretly protecting them at all.

Thus, they no longer had any misgivings.

One by one, they moved closer to where Dai Zhirou and Taishi Ming were.
