The Fragile Boat of Friendship Capsizes Without Warning, Former Siblings Become Strangers
"Xiao Wu, it's not what you think."
Tang San was about to explain when Xiao Wu interrupted him.
"Stop talking!"
Because of Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo, she couldn't face Tang San directly.
Xiao Wu's words caused Tang San's mental defenses to completely crumble.
The Sky Azure Bull Python's head was raised high, emitting a brilliant azure light.
"So it was them." It sneered.
"Humans are all the same, they talk about brotherly and sisterly love, but behind your back they're eyeing your Soul Ring and Soul Bone!"
"Sister Xiao Wu Er Ming, should Erming and I start right now and leave them here in the Star Dou Great Forest forever as fertilizer?"
"No!"
"That's not how it is!"
"Xiao Wu, let me explain!"
Tang San was so anxious he was jumping up and down, and the bloodshot veins in his eyes were spreading rapidly.
Even if he was slow to understand, he still grasped the incisive words about "Soul Ring and Soul Bone."
He is innocent!
He never intended to hurt Xiao Wu!
Xiao Wu stared intently at Tang San's eagerness to distance himself from the situation.
After a long while, she gently shook her head.
"No."
The three words were spoken lightly, without any emotional fluctuation.
"Let's go."
She turned away, not giving Tang San another glance, and walked to the Titan Giant Ape's side.
She lightly leaped onto Er Ming's broad shoulders with a quick tiptoe.
"Roar!!!"
The Titan Giant Ape braced itself on the ground with its thick arms, opened its blood-red maw towards Tang Hao and Tang San, and let out a deafening roar!
This is not only a warning to the two people not to push their luck.
It was also a way for Xiao Wu to vent all the deception and grievances she had suffered these past few days.
The giant beast turned and strode off, rumbling as it headed into the deepest part of the Forest.
The massive body of the Sky Azure Bull Python slithered close to the ground, completely blocking Er Ming and Xiao Wu from view.
The blue light gradually disappeared into the boundless canopy of trees.
"Xiao Wu..."
Tang San seemed to have all his strength drained away, standing alone in the same spot.
He watched as Xiao Wu's figure grew smaller and smaller until it was completely swallowed up by the layers of leaves.
My throat felt like it was stuffed with a handful of coarse sand; it was so dry and painful.
He opened his mouth, desperately trying to call out "Xiao Wu" again, but his vocal cords could not produce a sound.
My chest felt incredibly tight, I couldn't breathe, and even the air around me felt thin.
"Why?"
"Where exactly did things go wrong?"
After going through so much, why did they deserve this ending?
Tang Hao's calloused hand remained firmly on Tang San's shoulder.
He could read the turmoil in his son's heart at that moment.
It's not a pleasant feeling to have your cards exposed to someone's face and to be seen as an enemy by someone you love.
But this is the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, and now is not the time for sentimentality.
Those treacherous villains from the Spirit Hall could launch a surprise attack at any moment.
"Let's go out first. The Spirit Hall people might still be nearby. It's not safe to stay here."
Tang San followed Tang Hao blankly, stumbling along as they walked out of the Forest.
He would take a few steps and then look back.
Behind me were only layers upon layers of trees.
That pink figure will never be seen again.
Tang San was heartbroken because of Xiao Wu's departure.
Ye Qing had been enjoying a leisurely life in the Sea of Buried Corpses for half a year.
The huge island, suspended in mid-air, is covered with jagged black rocks.
Ye Qing sat casually on a black rock at the highest point, idly twirling a bright green wine gourd between his fingers.
"Boom!"
The earth trembled.
In the distance, a massive black object was hurtling towards them at an incredible speed.
Upon landing, it shattered a large area of black rock, sending pebbles flying everywhere and clanging against the surrounding stone walls.
"Grown ups!"
The Heavenly Black Monkey scratched its bald head and came to Ye Qing in a fawning manner.
A fawning smile was forced onto that fierce-looking monkey face.
"Sir, we've searched all three areas of the western sea, but we haven't found Xiao Ban."
Ye Qing lazily lifted her eyelids.
He uncorked the gourd and tilted his head back to take a swig of the rich and mellow Monkey Wine.
He didn't take it to heart at all.
The Immortal Herb, a rare and precious material, relies on the workings of nature.
I never expected to find it so easily.
A flash of blue light.
Ice Empress appeared out of nowhere.
She complained out in extreme impatience.
"If you can't find it, you can't find it. There's nothing worth looking at in this shabby place anyway."
"In the past six months, Xue'er and I have visited more than a dozen Floating Island."
"Forget about top-tier treasures for dealing with Heavenly Tribulation, we don't even have a decent spiritual item."
Ice Empress grew angrier and angrier as they spoke, their voice filled with disdain.
Not far away, on the edge of the ice, Snow Empress sat quietly.
She wore a white dress, pure and elegant.
A tiny, six-pointed snowflake is gathering on the crystal-clear fingertip.
Upon hearing Ice Empress's complaint, Snow Empress paused slightly and nodded gently in agreement.
The resources in this Sea of Buried Corpses are indeed not suitable for them.
Compared to the complete lack of clues in finding the Immortal Herb,
The Imperial Fighting Team has made a fortune in the past six months.
Yu Feng, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong have all broken through key bottlenecks.
Yu Feng and Ye Lingling broke through the level 50 barrier.
Ning Rongrong also successfully entered the level 40 realm.
Now that they had reached the required level, Ye Qing personally performed Soul Hunting for the three of them.
At the beginning,
Ye Qing plans to replicate Dugu Yan's successful experience and turn them all into Soul Spirit.
Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful.
The conditions for the Soul Spirit Prototype are extremely demanding.
The Soul Beast itself must possess extremely high intelligence and be completely willing.
Among Soul Beast that are ten thousand years old, those that can awaken high-level intelligence are already rare.
Even those few who are intelligent still possess the ferocity and arrogance of wild beasts at their core.
Few would rather die in battle than obediently complete the sacrifice.
Forced relationships are never sweet; they can even backfire.
Since the path to the Soul Spirit Prototype was blocked, Ye Qing was too lazy to reason with those stubborn Soul Beast.
He had no choice but to lead the three of them along the traditional route, hunting down thousand-year and ten-thousand-year Soul Ring for them in the normal order.
Fortunately, they drank Monkey Wine like water during this time.
The immense medicinal power continuously cleansed and transformed the marrow, elevating the physical and mental strength of the Imperial Fighting Team to an extremely terrifying level.
The improvement in physical strength and mental power directly led to a significant leap in their limits on the capacity of their Soul Ring and their ability to resist Soul Shock.
This was Ye Qing's true trump card.
Take Yu Feng as an example.
Ye Qing not only gave him Monkey Wine, but also a piece of Flying Dragon Torso Bone that was 70,000 years old.
After Yu Feng fused with this Soul Bone, his physique underwent a transformation, and his bones and meridians became as powerful as a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The limit of his fifth Soul Ring's lifespan has been raised to 30,000 years!
After successfully attaching the fifth Soul Ring, which is 30,000 years old,
Yu Feng's Soul Power experienced an explosive increase, soaring to level 54 Soul King!
Ye Lingling's situation is equally encouraging.
The fifth Soul Ring added this time came from a top-tier Plant-type Soul Beast that was 20,000 years old.
Her Soul Power steadily increased to level 53.
Although he didn't say a word.
But the usually aloof woman looked at Ye Qing with fervent admiration.
As for Ning Rongrong...
After following Ye Qing, I realized what true god-like treatment meant.
Her fourth Soul Ring was maxed out at nine thousand years, and her Soul Power was also raised to level forty-three, the Soul Ancestor!
It's a pity she's a support-type Soul Master; if she were any other Soul Master, Ye Qing would definitely have arranged a fourth Soul Ring that would last for ten thousand years.
