Chapter 181
(181. Ultrasonic Positioning)
A bite of flatbread, a bite of roasted meat—even though she was starving, the slightly cool taste made Ah Yin look at the steaming rice pot in front of Yang Shelly, and a hint of red appeared in her eyes.
Meanwhile, the "Wind Shadow Leopard" lying next to Ah Yin was carefree, gnawing on a bone. Its long, bright red tongue was like a rake, and with a flick of its tongue, the crimson flesh would disappear, leaving only the smooth white bones.
Although the energy contained in this meat is not as great as that of Soul Beast, the meat of this human-raised livestock is still quite tender.
Yes, that's certainly true compared to the "Wind Shadow Leopard's" teeth.
As for the pot of fragrant chicken and rice that made Ah Yin's mouth water, in the eyes of "Wind Shadow Leopard," it was no match for the beef leg bone it was gnawing on.
It couldn't understand how a bird that had been drained of its blood and boiled at high temperatures could still have any flavor.
With this slight confusion, "Wind Shadow Leopard" licked the corners of its mouth and between its teeth, sucking away the bloodstains.
After lunch, Ling Yi didn't rush to continue his journey. He used the Storage Soul Tool's collection function to build a simple wooden and stone hut under a few big trees.
I let Yang Shelly go into the cabin for a nap, while I hung a hammock woven from soft rattan on the trunk of a big tree in front of the cabin, lay down, closed my eyes, and felt comfortable ( ̄ ̄).
After Deep Sleep, Ling Yi woke up refreshed an hour later.
Turning to look at another large tree, Ah Yin was sleeping peacefully in a hammock woven from "Blue Silver Grass".
A few meters directly below Ah Yin, the "Wind Shadow Leopard" lay there listlessly, its right forepaw extending a sharp claw, silently carving abstract patterns that no one could understand on the brownish-black ground in front of it.
Ling Yi rolled out of the hammock and knocked on the door frame of the cabin to wake the sleeping beauty inside.
A few breaths later, Ling Yi looked at Yang Shelly walking out of the hut. Seeing her looking like a begonia just waking up from a spring nap, he was amazed, but he was also considering whether to guide her into Deep Sleep to improve the efficiency of her cultivation.
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ling Yi said, "Shelly, let's not rush today. You can cultivate on your own, or discuss with Brother Ah Yin about borrowing her ' Wind Shadow Leopard ' for a sparring match..."
"Oh, okay, Brother Yi." Yang Shelly nodded obediently without asking why.
After exchanging a few more words with Yang Shelly, Ling Yi walked towards the back of the simple hut and headed deeper into the woods.
Watching Ling Yi's figure gradually disappear among the trees and greenery, Yang Shelly knew that he must have gone to attend to his own business.
During the nearly two months they spent together, Ling Yi would leave alone every seven days, heading to the outskirts of the city or to some place in the wilderness, and would not return for at least half a day.
"Should we follow them and see?"
Suddenly, Ah Yin appeared beside Yang Shelly and spoke seductively.
"Snort!"
Yang Shelly snorted coldly and glanced sideways at Ah Yin, disdainful of this ill-intentioned suggestion, and growing increasingly disgusted with this kid who had no sense of boundaries.
At the age of twelve or thirteen, he is capable of committing crimes in the Douluo Continent. This kid Ah Yin is standing so close to me. What if Brother Yi misunderstands him?
If it weren't for her naturally strong and keen intuition, which prevented her from sensing any malice from this kid, Yang Shelly would have already summoned her "Long-Handled Scythe" Martial Soul and dismantled a few parts of him!
With long strides, Yang Shelly walked towards the "Wind Shadow Leopard" that was carving wood with its claws on the other side. With each step, her aura grew stronger. With a flick of her jade arm, she held a black scythe with a handle more than two feet long and Moon Blade about a foot long in her hand.
As Yang Shelly approached menacingly, the "Wind Shadow Leopard" chopped the hardwood in its hand with a snap, its dark brown, semi-transparent claws treading on the wood-shaving ground, its crystalline yellow eyes flashing with ferocity.
The Douluo I between Yang Shelly and "Wind Shadow Leopard" was about to break out, but Ah Yin had no time to pay attention and was very conflicted.
Ah Yin knew a little about what Ling Yi was going to do.
For the past month, she had been watching from the shadows and knew that Ling Yi was going to find a place with a lot of "Blue Silver Grass" so that he could take out the hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old "Blue Silver Grass" that he carried with him from his Storage Soul Tool that could store living things, and use his Soul Power to nurture and promote their growth.
What troubled Ah Yin was whether she should follow them and get a closer look.
In the previous instances, she had always sensed Ling Yi Ling Yi the "Blue Silver Grass" in his hand from a distance, at least several miles away, by using the individual "Blue Silver Grass".
The "Blue Silver Grass" isn't the key point. Even if those "Blue Silver Grass" are hundreds or thousands of years old, Ah Yin wouldn't care much. As a "Blue Silver Emperor," even a "Blue Silver King" of ten thousand years is just so-so.
However, Ah Yin was filled with curiosity about the "Blue Silver Grass" cultivated by Ling Yi, especially some of the mutated "Blue Silver Grass" with a very special aura that was very different from ordinary "Blue Silver Grass".
However, now that she Ling Yi, Ah Yin can no longer bring herself to spy on him secretly without warning, just like before.
Especially when she recalled what Ling Yi had said three days ago in that forest of novice Soul Beast, Ah Yin subconsciously didn't want Ling Yi to think she was naive or lacking in social skills, and she didn't want Ling Yi to think she was disrespectful or condescending towards him.
"Hmph!" Ah Yin pouted and muttered under her breath, "One day, you'll be begging me to come over. I'm really good at cultivating ' Blue Silver Grass '!"
As she spoke, her bright eyes lowered, glancing at the large tree not far to her side, where several pale blue "Blue Silver Grass" plants were growing vigorously. As if sensing the emperor's gaze, the tender grass leaves swayed gently, as if in joy and bowing.
A flash of azure light appeared in Ah Yin's eyes, and an invisible wave emerged from beneath her feet, instantly reaching the "Blue Silver Grass" plants.
The next second, something amazing happened.
Suddenly, the few "Blue Silver Grass" plants that were originally only four or five centimeters tall grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a dozen or so breaths, the growth stopped, and the appearance of the "Blue Silver Grass" plants changed considerably.
The height has more than doubled, the stems and leaves have become wider, thicker and more numerous, and the overall color has also changed from light blue to a much deeper color, making these "Blue Silver Grass" look vibrant and full of vitality at first glance.
On the other side, Ling Yi stopped in front of a grassy area with blue as the main color.
This location is about three kilometers away from the simple hut where Yang Shelly and Ah Yin are currently standing.
Looking around and gazing into the distance, apart from the woodland behind which the view is not very open, all other directions are unobstructed, allowing one to see as far as the eye can see.
With a flick of his wrist, Ling Yi took out a small megaphone, about the size of a palm, from the Storage Soul Tool on his wrist. He placed the megaphone in front of his mouth and silently shouted several times in all directions.
Then, Ling Yi's ears suddenly started twitching, just like rabbit ears.
After a dozen or so breaths, Ling Yi put the small trumpet back into his storage bracelet and began to take out various items from his "Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse".
Just now, he emitted high-frequency sound waves through the Amplifying Soul Tool, and then used his Soul Power to Simulation the sound waves of bats to locate the organ functions. In a short time, he was able to confirm that Ah Yin had not followed.
There was no sign of any living creature in other directions.
This is the second chapter today, and also the last chapter of August. Aside from taking a day off on August 4th, I've been updating with two chapters of 4,000+ words every day. August's goal: 140,000 words achieved!
