119. Thank you

How could we let Soul Beast steal the Shadow Black Panther that we had painstakingly killed?

However, Lu Ao's interests were clearly at odds with those of his companions. Ye Yan, Wang Tan, Abbott, and even Xiao Xiao all gave way, until the giant serpent retreated into the darkness.

Compared to the Shadow Black Panther, Toxic Soul Beast King Cobra are much more troublesome and are very effective against beast-type Soul Master —because they usually engage in close combat, beast-type Soul Master are easily poisoned, and their poison resistance is usually very weak.

However, apart from Xiao Xiao, Lu Ao, Ye Yan, Wang Tan, Abbott are all beast-type Soul Master, and all of them are good at direct combat.

Simply put, they lack front-line tanks and cannot hold off the enemy at the King Cobra; once a battle begins, the cost will be extremely high.

It might be a hand, or half a life; we're complete strangers, so there's no need to take the risk.

"Hateful!"

Lu Ao himself was well aware of this, so he risked advancing forward, hoping that his companions could cooperate.

Upon seeing Lu Ao Pursuit after them, King Cobra's eyes turned fierce as he turned back and thrust out his sharp fangs.

Lu Ao shifted to the side, leading directly over the King Cobra to the side. "Quick!"

However, Ye Yan and Wang Tan were quite Oblivious. They had only taken two or three steps King Cobra. They were stuck, unable to advance or retreat, and were both stunned and afraid.

They were quite ordinary; at their age, reaching the Soul Elder Soul Ancestor was already the result of arduous training, so their combat skills were naturally not very proficient.

They cultivate diligently for four or five hours every day, and can still fight relentlessly, driven by an irreconcilable blood feud.

Moreover, Toxic Soul Beast King Cobra are already very effective against beast-type Soul Master, so it's perfectly normal for Ye Yan and Wang Tan to Flinch.

Just as Lu Ao's eyes widened, a giant cauldron crashed down on the corpse of the Shadow Black Panther.

Confused King Cobra, Lu Ao quickly dodged to the side, exclaiming, "Wow! Xiao Xiao! Thank you! Thank you, Kouya!"

Doing the right thing at the right time, Xiao Xiao's performance was ten or even a hundred times more outstanding than Ye Yan and Wang Tan, who were caught in a dilemma!

While operating the other giant cauldrons to intercept, Xiao Xiao issued a warning, replying, "No need to be polite, but losing prey King Cobra will definitely be much more dangerous, I'm afraid..."

"It doesn't matter."

The invisible energy left blood marks, shearing away much of the flesh and scales.

It hissed as it King Cobra, seemingly in a great panic, and quickly slid into the darkness.

As the Bai Cai walked step by step, the Courtney illuminated the surroundings. "A lot of progress, but still very rough."

Xiao Xiao's eyes were fierce. "Yeah, yeah, I'm super weak. You always drive me crazy."

"Ah?"

Ye Yan pointed at Xiao Xiao, "You two always act like you've lost your minds. What's wrong with you two?"

Xiao Xiao, her face flushed, hurled a cauldron at Ye Yan, "Say that again?"

Ye Yan dodged the giant cauldron, his expression quite pleased, "You two..."

Xiao Xiao unleashed the giant cauldron and delivered a kick that gleamed with the solid light of rock, sending Ye Yan crashing straight into the tent.

"Soul Bone!"

Lu Ao was absolutely certain that Xiao Xiao's left leg was a characteristic of Soul Bone, and even possessed its own Soul Skill.

Soul Bone with their own Soul Skill are far more expensive than Soul Bone that only enhance attributes.

Firstly, the higher the base attributes, the greater the attribute increase. However, for Soul Master below the mid-level, the base attributes are not high to begin with, so the attribute increase is naturally very small.

Secondly, Soul Master below the mid-level don't have many Soul Skills to begin with. If their Soul Bone come with Soul Skill, they might even be able to fight against opponents of higher levels.

Even among high-level Soul Master, the difference between the two is not significant, but below the high level, Soul Bone with innate Soul Skill are basically completely defeated by Soul Bone with Amplified Attributes.

A single blow could send Ye Yan; this beast-type Soul Master, almost a Soul King, must possess a Soul Bone whose age and bloodline are at least superior to the Shadow Black Panther.

Sour, very sour, extremely sour.

Lu Ao walked toward the corpse of the Shadow Black Panther, immediately preparing to advance to Soul Emperor.

The promotion went very smoothly. After all, Lu Ao was able to defeat Shadow Black Panther on his own, which meant that Shadow Black Panther's age was normal, neither too high nor too low.

In less than an hour, six halos of light—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black—slowly appeared, and Lu Ao had advanced to the Soul Emperor level.

Upon advancing to Soul Emperor, Lu Ao's expression was one of great joy. He walked past the corpse of the Shadow Black Panther and slowly began to dissect it.

Scraping away the flesh and blood, discarding the internal organs, and removing the bones, Lu Ao's dissection went very smoothly until he removed the left forelimb, when he suddenly paused, and his expression immediately became much more unsavory.

"Hooray! I won!"

Lu Ao held aloft a piece of bone, the bone still covered in flesh and blood.

This is a Left Arm Soul Bone, ranking fourth in rarity, after the Head Soul Bone, Torso Soul Bone, and Right Arm Soul Bone.

The probability of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast producing Soul Bone is still not high. Based on the age, the probability of the Shadow Black Panther producing Soul Bone is at most half.

At most a 50% chance, and with Left Arm Soul Bone, this kind of luck puts you in at least the top ten of your generation.

Ye Yan and Wang Tan stepped forward, Abbott also leaned closer, offering words of praise one after another.

Xiao Xiao knew that Soul Bone were precious, but since she had seen many Soul Bone before and had one herself, she remained very calm.

Bloodstained bones flashed by, and Ye Yan Wang Tan's eyes were also bloodshot. They even fought over each other, because if they hadn't escaped over the King Cobra, they could have gotten a piece of Soul Bone themselves.

Xiao Xiao looked at the Bai Cai, Bai Cai looked at Xiao Xiao; the atmosphere suddenly became quite oppressive.

That night, the forest was far from peaceful. In the tent, by the light, Xiao Xiao looked at her left leg, which was smooth and white, like a piece of blood-stained bone.

The corpse of the Shadow Black Panther, Lu Ao's expression, Ye Yan's eyes—scene after scene sent chills down Xiao Xiao's spine.

Stepping out of the tent and standing before the Bai Cai tent, Xiao Xiao suddenly stopped, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Come in.

Inside the tent, Bai Cai spoke in a very gentle tone.

Xiao Xiao entered the tent, "Captain..."

The Bai Cai asked, "Are you scared?"

"Yes."

What are you afraid of?

"..."

Blood-red bones, unfamiliar expressions, ferocious eyes—many images flashed by, yet none lingered.

Xiao Xiao stared at the Bai Cai, her expression incredibly complex, even indescribable.

A shadow blocked the light from one side of the Bai Cai.

"Xiao Xiao?"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, but I'm very scared."

Xiao Xiao slowly moved closer, inch by inch, until their skin was almost touching.

The light shone on her skin, making it radiant, fair, and flawless, comparable to white jade.

For a long time.

Bai Cai finished her normal cultivation, but Xiao Xiao had already fallen asleep.

Xiao Xiao usually appears ordinary, but her appearance is equally outstanding. Compared to Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, she is at least a level above them. Normally, she is not much different from Wu Feng.

Looking away, Bai Cai slowly pulled her forearm back, but it seemed she had pulled too far, and Xiao Xiao quickly came to her senses.

"Hehehe--"

Having just regained consciousness, Xiao Xiao stuck out her tongue, her delicate beauty completely vanished.

"Go back by yourself while you're awake."

Xiao Xiao quickly closed her eyes, "Sleeping, sleeping, snoring..."

"If they meet, we won't be able to explain it."

"..."

Xiao Xiao paused for a moment, then pretended to be asleep again, "Huff-huff--"

In the early morning, the forest blocks out the sunlight, bringing with it a hazy mist.

Xiao Xiao walked out of the tent, Ye Yan lit Courtney.

"Wang Tan."

As Ye Yan started a fire, he asked his companion, "Xiao Xiao's tent should be on the left, right?"

Wang Tan sat down to the side and replied normally, "Zuo Yi, why are you asking this?"

Ye Yan's expression changed drastically, "Damn it, I let him kick me for nothing!"
