On the plain outside White Tiger Pass, two figures flashed and disappeared again and again.
Every flash of light spanned a distance of a kilometer.
The journey that originally took several days to complete was shortened infinitely with the support of Netherworld Thousand Shadows Step.
In just one morning, Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing were already standing at the familiar entrance of Star Dou Great Forest.
"This Soul Bone Skill is invincible when used for traveling."
Lin Ye Feeling the wind whistling in my ears, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
The two of them stepped directly into Star Dou Great Forest without stopping at all.
As soon as he entered the forest, Zhu Zhuqing's whole temperament changed, and his eyes became alert and full of aggression.
"Lin Ye, this time I want to absorb a older Soul Ring."
Zhu Zhuqing said to Lin Ye while walking through the forest.
"Oh? How high?" Lin Ye asked with interest.
Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and said firmly:
"At least fifty thousand years!"
"Fifty thousand years?" Lin Ye smiled,
"Big Cat, are you underestimating yourself?"
"With your current physical fitness, let alone 50,000-year-old Soul Ring, even if it is 60,000-year-old, as long as the attributes are suitable, you can grit it and absorb it."
Zhu Zhuqing's current body, after many times of energy feedback from Lin Ye Martial Soul Fusion Skill, has long been far stronger than Soul Master of the same level, and even stronger than some Soul Douluo.
Hearing Lin Ye say this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
"When did I lie to you?" Lin Ye asked.
With Lin Ye's affirmation, Zhu Zhuqing has more confidence.
The two of them stopped wasting time in the outer area and headed directly towards the depths of the mixed zone.
Along the way, they also met many Soul Beast, but their age and attributes did not quite meet the requirements of Zhu Zhuqing.
Either the age is too low, or the attributes do not match.
The Martial Soul of Zhu Zhuqing is Hell Spirit Cat. The most suitable one for her is naturally the feline type or the speed and thrust type agility attack type Soul Beast.
The two searched deep in the forest for two days.
In the past two days, they almost turned the mixed area upside down, but still could not find a target that satisfied Zhu Zhuqing.
"That's weird, where did Star Dou Great Forest's top agility attack type Soul Beast die?"
Lin Ye sat on a tree trunk and said impatiently.
Zhu Zhuqing was very patient. She explored the surroundings carefully, not letting go of any clues.
At this moment, an extremely strong wind suddenly hit the two of them from behind!
"Be careful!"
Lin Ye reacted very quickly, taking Zhu Zhuqing into his arms and waving his backhand at the same time.
"Qiang!"
A sound of gold and iron clashing sounded.
Lin Ye's claws collided with a black shadow that was so fast that it was blurry, causing a string of sparks to fly.
The black shadow missed the target and immediately retreated, landing on a big tree not far away, revealing its true appearance.
It was a giant cat that was more than five meters long, blue-black in color, and extremely muscular.
Its body is surrounded by blue whirlwinds visible to the naked eye, emitting extremely powerful Soul Power fluctuations.
"Cyclone Spirit Cat?" Lin Ye looked at this Soul Beast and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Looking at his body shape and aura, he seems to be quite old."
The Cyclone Spirit Cat stared hard at Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing, letting out a low growl from its throat, apparently treating them as enemies invading its territory.
Lin Ye felt it carefully and then shook his head.
"It's a pity. Your attributes are quite suitable for you, but your age is a bit too high."
Lin Ye said to Zhu Zhuqing in his arms,
"This thing is at least 68,000 years old, close to 70,000 years old. It's too reluctant for you now."
Just as Lin Ye finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly broke away from his arms.
She looked at the majestic Cyclone Spirit Cat. Not only did she not have the slightest fear in her eyes, but she was full of desire.
"No." Zhu Zhuqing said firmly.
"Lin Ye, I want it!"
Lin Ye was stunned when he heard this.
He turned his head, looked at Zhu Zhuqing, and frowned tightly.
"Big Cat, are you crazy? I just said that this Soul Beast is nearly 70,000 years old! This is far beyond the limit of what you can bear!" Lin Ye's tone became serious.
"This is no joke! Sixty thousand years is your limit, seventy thousand years is a qualitative change! If the absorption fails, Martial Soul will be shattered at the least, or explode to death! I will never let you take this risk!"
Lin Ye's attitude is very determined.
He can accompany Zhu Zhuqing on adventures, but he will never allow her to die.
However, Zhu Zhuqing stubbornly shook his head.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Lin Ye with a trembling voice.
"Lin Ye! Do you still remember what you said to me in White Tiger Pass? You said that I am not your drag, you said that I can stand side by side with you, and even become a god with you in the future!"
"But, if you keep protecting me like this and let me absorb those 40,000 to 50,000-year-old Soul Ring, the gap between us will only get wider and wider! I will always be able to follow you and watch your back!"
"I don't want this!" Zhu Zhuqing was a little excited,
"Only by absorbing Soul Ring with a higher age can I improve myself faster! Only in this way can I truly keep up with your footsteps and walk side by side with you!"
"If I give up on it today because of fear, I will regret it for the rest of my life in the future! Lin Ye, please, believe me for once, okay?"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes are full of determination and persistence, with a hint of fear of being abandoned.
Lin Ye looked at her like this, and his heart couldn't help but soften.
He knew what Zhu Zhuqing said was right.
This girl's self-esteem and competitive spirit are stronger than anyone else's.
If she blindly protects her, she will become a shackle that restrains her from flying high.
"Damn..." Lin Ye cursed in his heart.
What he hates the most is Zhu Zhuqing looking like this.
He let out a long sigh and reached out to rub Zhu Zhuqing's hair.
"Okay, you win." Lin Ye's voice was helpless, but his eyes were full of doting and trust.
"I promise you, I believe you."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lin Ye's eyes and nodded vigorously. The tears in his eyes finally couldn't help but flow down.
"Yeah!"
Lin Ye smiled and wiped away her tears.
Then, he turned around and faced Cyclone Spirit Cat, who was still staring at him eagerly. The aura on his body instantly became cold and violent.
"Okay, we're done talking."
"You blind beast, you knocked on the door by yourself, which just saved us the time to find you."
"Congratulations, you will soon become a stepping stone for Big Cat to become stronger."
Hearing Lin Ye's provocative words, Cyclone Spirit Cat felt hugely insulted.
It let out an angry roar, kicked its limbs violently, and its huge body turned into a blue lightning, rushing directly towards Lin Ye.
As it charged, the whirlwind surrounding its body became more violent, forming sharp wind blades that cut the air.
