"Boom!"
A cold, heavy dragon's might erupted from within Dugu Yan. Five Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black, black—rose in succession as the phantom of an Ice Dragon roared toward the heavens, its presence terrifying.
"Night, I succeeded!"
Dugu Yan ran joyfully to Su Ye, wrapped her arms around his, and gently shook it.
Su Ye smiled and nodded. "Not bad. Level fifty-two, and it looks like you'll reach level fifty-three soon enough. Congratulations!"
"Mm, this Spirit Ring is of high quality. It gave me a..."
Dugu Yan happily introduced her newly acquired Spirit Skill to Su Ye. Only after she had finished explaining everything did she remember—huh, why was someone missing?
Dugu Bo: ...
So love could disappear? Right?
"Where's Grandpa?"
Dugu Yan looked around but did not see the old man, immediately becoming a little unhappy.
Fine! His precious granddaughter was absorbing a Spirit Ring here, yet instead of honestly standing guard, he had actually slipped away?
How could that be allowed?!
"He went deeper in. Not long ago..."
Su Ye gave a brief explanation, though he was also somewhat curious. It had been a while already—why had the old man not returned yet?
Could he have run into trouble?
Probably not.
Su Ye shook his head and dismissed the thought. That old man was ridiculously formidable now. He might still stumble in Star Dou Forest, but in Sunset Forest, there was absolutely no chance.
Maybe he had gotten addicted to watching a show?
Just as he was thinking that, a sharp whistle tore through the air. Su Ye looked up and saw a streak of azure light racing toward them.
"Kid, your luck has arrived. Come with me!"
Before either of them could ask anything, Dugu Bo scooped up his granddaughter and shot toward the depths once more.
