Rabbit Leap Meteor
One night later, in the eastern part of Nuoding City.
The first to notice something was wrong was one of the guards under the sheriff. Normally, the sheriff would arrive at the garrison before dawn, but on this day, the sun had already risen, and the guard still hadn't arrived.
The guards went to the house to search, but no one answered the door after knocking for a long time. They climbed over the wall and found that none of the four family members had survived. The eldest son had a penetrating wound, and the remaining three were pale and looked pained, as if something had hollowed them out.
The gray wolfhound in the yard was still alive, lying silently in its cage, trembling all over, and would tuck its tail between its legs and shrink deeper into the cage whenever anyone approached.
The guard was so frightened by the dog's eyes that he scrambled to his feet and ran to report it to the authorities.
The news spread quickly. In less than half an hour, the whole street knew—the sheriff's family of four had vanished overnight.
But what puzzled onlookers even more than the murder itself was the tree in the yard.
It grew a whole size thicker, and its lush green color looked very vibrant.
When the news reached the Spirit Hall Branch, Ma Xiunuo and Su Yuntao exchanged a glance, but neither of them said anything.
Xiao Wu spread her wings and flew below the clouds, her blue wings gleaming softly in the sunlight.
Two strands of Blue Silver Grass hung down from her waist, the other end tied to Wang Xingyu, suspending him below as he swayed and floated.
Wang Xingyu took a bite of carrot, unfolded the map, and glanced at it idly in the high-altitude wind.
"So? Where are we going?" Xiao Wu's voice came from above.
"The easternmost point is the Gulei Kingdom, one of the four major vassal kingdoms of the Heaven Dou Empire." Wang Xingyu examined the marking on the map repeatedly. "Let's go there and see if we can find any clues."
He quickly went through the original story in his mind. The Gulei Kingdom was just a background character in the original work, with almost no description other than the name of the country. There was no plot, no characters, no heritage, nothing at all.
Let's take it one step at a time.
"Okay!" Xiao Wu replied.
The two chatted as they flew. Wang Xingyu estimated their current flight speed and looked at the distance on the map. At this speed, it would take about ten days to reach Longxing City, the first city in the Gulei Kingdom.
However, ten days is only a theoretical time. They need to rest and find places to stay along the way. Fortunately, Gold Soul Coin are universally accepted on the continent, and the two of them replenished their supplies in small towns along the way several times, so they didn't suffer any major hardships.
Looking at the map, Wang Xingyu saw that he only passed through one small town along the way; the rest were small villages scattered among the plains and hills.
The two tried to choose secluded routes to avoid unnecessary trouble. They used a potion prepared by Tang San before leaving to drive away the Soul Beast; just a little bit was enough around the camp. There was no need for Xiao Wu to release the aura of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to intimidate it, just in case.
On the fourth night, the two camped on a low hill. The campfire was burning brightly. Xiao Wu was cross-legged and cultivating with her eyes closed when she suddenly opened her eyes, her face full of excitement. "Xingyu! I'm level 50! I want a flying Soul Skill too!"
Wang Xingyu was leaning against a tree looking at the stars when he heard this and turned his head.
I didn't expect to reach level 50 so quickly; even flying-type Soul Skill are good.
But how should a rabbit-type flying Soul Skill be adapted? He quickly went through various flying Martial Soul and Soul Skill in his mind, and then looked at the night sky above, a patchwork of light and shadow. A few shooting stars streaked across the sky, leaving fleeting silver trails.
Xiao Wu, have you ever seen a shooting star?
"A shooting star? You mean one of those stars that streaks across the sky?" Xiao Wu tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Of course I've seen them. You want me to create a shooting star-type Soul Skill myself? That might be a bit difficult."
Wang Xingyu nodded. "It is indeed difficult. But I'm not talking about something exactly like a meteor—it's about enhancing your jumping ability, allowing you to use the momentum in mid-air to jump again, a similar kind of flight. Like a stone thrown out, you crash into your opponent; the jump is your power, and your Soul Power helps propel you forward."
"Jump?" Xiao Wu blinked.
"Yes. It's not flying, it's jumping. You can jump even in mid-air."
Xiao Wu thought for a moment, then sat cross-legged and closed her eyes.
Not long after, a black Soul Ring slowly rose from her body—but this time it was different from the previous Fourth Soul Ring. This Soul Ring was not stable when it rose, and its edges trembled slightly, like a ball of fire that had not yet fully condensed.
Wang Xingyu immediately extended his Blue Silver Grass and wrapped it around Xiao Wu's wrist. His Soul Power surged along the vine, and his Spiritual Power followed suit.
The trembling of the Soul Ring gradually subsided, and its edges solidified. Not long after, Xiao Wu opened her eyes, a fleeting pink light still lingering in her pupils.
"Wow, I think I did it!" She stood up, bent her knees slightly, and jumped up suddenly.
He was like a stone launched by a slingshot, shooting straight into the night sky.
When she reached an altitude of about 100 meters, a semi-transparent pink energy shield suddenly appeared around her, enveloping her figure.
Then with a thud, she crashed back to the ground faster than she had risen, leaving a small crater next to the campfire, sending dust and sparks flying.
Wang Xingyu coughed and waved his hand, fanning away the dust in front of him.
Xiao Wu jumped out of the pit, her face full of excitement. "I did it! Rabbit Leap Meteor! I can jump twice more in the air and adjust my direction! Each jump is 200 meters. It's just that I can only jump twice at night, and it seems I can only jump once during the day—but it will jump more for every ten levels my Soul Power Level increases! And I will generate an energy shield while flying, so it won't hurt if I bump into something!"
Wang Xingyu nodded. Regardless of the Soul Skill's functionality, its sheer coolness was unparalleled.
With the Rabbit Leap Meteor, the rest of the journey was much faster.
The Blue Silver Grass still bound the two together, but this time their positions had changed— Wang Xingyu spread his blue wings and flew in front, while Xiao Wu bent her knees behind him to gather strength, and then leaped forward.
He shot out like a meteor, causing the Blue Silver Grass to straighten instantly and pulling Wang Xingyu forward a large distance as well.
When she reached the furthest point and could no longer gain momentum in the air, she stepped on Wang Xingyu's back to use the momentum to jump again, allowing her to jump twice more in a row.
The two of them, dragging and stepping, pulling and jumping, increased their speed by more than one gear.
Xiao Wu used Meteor Jump about fifteen times in a row, and her Soul Power was almost exhausted.
Fortunately, after Wang Xingyu absorbed the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, his total Soul Power and recovery speed increased significantly. With the Blue Silver Grass continuously applied, Soul Power was continuously transferred to him, and Xiao Wu could continue dancing after catching her breath.
He roughly estimated that the journey, which originally had six days left, would take him four days at this pace.
On the evening of the seventh day, Wang Xingyu looked at the map, pointed to the mark on Longxing City, and said, "We'll be there tomorrow."
The two slowed their pace, no longer in a hurry. More and more villages appeared below, with smoke rising from various chimneys, and occasionally farmers driving oxcarts and children playing could be seen on the dirt road.
It's no longer the endless wilderness and hills it was a few days ago; it's gradually becoming more populated.
Wang Xingyu looked down and suddenly said, "Xiao Wu, stop for a moment."
