A vortex appeared, and all three were drawn into the Divine Might Space. When they reappeared in the outside world, they were already shrouded in a shadow.
The towering trees blocked out the sunlight, and the roars of spirit beasts echoed through the jungle, occasionally punctuated by the screams of humans.
"Kid! Your soul skill is indeed amazing! You covered such a distance in just a few dozen breaths!" Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with a glint of excitement. Even though it wasn't the first time he had experienced it, he was still full of admiration.
Dugu Yan nodded in deep agreement, her gaze seemingly glued to Ye Qiu. She didn't even catch her breath from such a long distance; she was incredibly strong.
While the grandfather and grandson were still reminiscing, Ye Qiu had already turned his gaze to a small cave not far behind him, the very place where he and Zhu Zhuqing had parted ways.
'Speaking of which... there's still about half a year left, Xiao Wu should be going to Soto City by then! I should...'
Ye Qiu's thoughts were interrupted by Dugu Bo's voice.
"Haha...Alright, Yanyan, stop staring at this kid. We still need to stay vigilant here!"
Dugu Bo chuckled twice, then his smile faded. Although this was only the outer perimeter, it wasn't uncommon for spirit beasts to break out from inside.
"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed, but quickly looked away when she saw Ye Qiu looking over.
"Hmph! I know!"
Dugu Bo patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder: "Kid, let's split up. I'll search from the sky, and you take Yan Yan and search on the ground. Just don't stray too far from me..."
"Well! I see!"
Ye Qiu also put aside his thoughts and nodded in agreement.
Whoosh! As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, Dugu Bo took to the air and flew into the depths of the forest.
"Ye Qiu, let's hurry up and go!" Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Qiu's arm and started to walk forward.
"Miss Dugu, wait! There's no need for that!" Ye Qiu smiled, his divine power re-activating in his eyes.
A vortex appeared, and a soul beast with a snow-white body, wings on its back, and emerald green eyes appeared before the two.
It was the Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger that hadn't appeared for a long time.
As soon as it appeared, it took in its surroundings and let out a happy growl before excitedly rushing towards Ye Qiu.
"Soul Beast! Ye Qiu, be careful!" Dugu Yan exclaimed, and immediately prepared to perform Martial Soul Possession.
"Don't worry, consider this my pet!" Ye Qiu gently patted Dugu Yan's hand.
"Pet!?" Under Dugu Yan's incredulous gaze, Hu Zi affectionately nuzzled Ye Qiu with his head.
Since being disciplined by Xiao Lan, it no longer dared to stick its tongue out randomly, and Ye Qiu was happy to accept this.
He stroked its big face a few times, then flipped over and climbed on top of it, turning to look at Dugu Yan and extending his palm towards her.
"Miss Dugu, please come up!"
"Ah? Oh, okay, umm..." Dugu Yan nodded blankly, reached out and shook hands with Ye Qiu, then straddled Ye Qiu's back.
He reached out and patted the tiger's head, and the tiger immediately ran out.
"Ah...!" Dugu Yan lost her balance and almost fell headfirst, but luckily she managed to grab Ye Qiu's waist.
Feeling the elasticity and pressure behind him, Ye Qiu turned his head slightly. "Um... Miss Dugu, could you please not hug me so tightly?"
It's too tight, he won't be able to stand it!
"I-I'm sorry!" Dugu Yan blushed and felt her heart was also unsettled. She adjusted her posture and simply placed her hand on Ye Qiu's waist.
Although his waist was still a little itchy, Ye Qiu could still bear it.
He simply controlled the speed of the tiger under his seat, trying to keep it as steady as possible.
Looking at Ye Qiu's ear, which was faintly tinged with blood, Dugu Yan's lips curled up slightly.
Feeling the warm breeze blowing over her while riding on the spirit beast was quite a novel experience, and she didn't really focus on finding the spirit beast.
Dugu Bo, who was in the sky, did not fly far. He looked down at the two people riding on the back of the soul beast and smiled with satisfaction.
"I didn't expect this kid to have such a trick up his sleeve!"
Then they began to look down into the jungle below, searching for suitable soul beasts.
……
The Star Dou Great Forest is vast and boundless, and patience is especially important when searching for suitable soul beasts within it.
The Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger wasn't very fast, and while searching, Ye Qiu also controlled it to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
Although it was noon, Ye Qiu and his companion did not feel hot thanks to the shade provided by the vegetation.
"Ye Qiu, can I really absorb a spirit ring that exceeds the age limit?" Dugu Yan asked, feeling uncertain and somewhat worried as she sat on the tiger's back.
"Don't worry, after Senior Dugu's testing, my current eye power can control a soul beast that is about 13,000 years old to perform a sacrifice. Your fourth soul ring will definitely be black!"
"The fourth ring of ten thousand years..." Dugu Yan murmured, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. "Yes, I believe in you!"
"Hmm? Found it!" Ye Qiu's Sharingan flashed, and about a kilometer to his left, a giant snake over ten meters long was feeding.
"Where?" Dugu Yan looked around in confusion, but couldn't find even a trace of a soul beast.
"We're less than a kilometer ahead, quickly send a signal to Senior Dugu!" Ye Qiu patted the Jade Eye Cloud Winged Tiger's forehead and controlled it to run to the left front.
"Okay! I'll inform Grandpa right away!"
Dugu Yan wrapped one arm around Ye Qiu's waist, and with the other hand took out a green glass ball from her soul tool, then crushed it.
The green liquid inside evaporated and spread rapidly as soon as it was exposed to air.
"Speaking of Ye Qiu, how can you see soul beasts that far away?"
Dugu Yan snapped out of her daze, staring strangely at the back of his head. Suddenly remembering something, her face turned bright red, and she cried out in surprise.
"Ye Qiu! Can your eyes see through things?!"
I still remember the look in Xiao Lan's eyes when Ye Qiu took a herb after their first meeting... The hand on Ye Qiu's waist suddenly felt a little restless.
"Yes! That's definitely possible!" Ye Qiu didn't notice her abnormality and said it truthfully. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sudden chill on his ribs.
"You...you lecherous scoundrel!" Dugu Yan gritted her teeth and cursed angrily, but her 'Nine Yin White Bone Claw' never came down.
Her pretty face flushed red; he had actually seen everything about her!
He glared fiercely at Ye Qiu.
'You lecherous scoundrel! I'll let you off this time, but we'll settle things after the Soul Hunt is over!'
Stared at by the cold gaze, Ye Qiu felt a chill run down his spine and wanted to turn around and look back.
"Miss Dugu, are you alright?"
"You bastard! Don't look at me with those filthy eyes!" Suppressing the urge to slap him, Dugu Yan reached out and pushed his head away as he tried to turn around.
"Uh...!!" Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat. He finally remembered the tall, fair-skinned woman with voluptuous breasts who appeared before him after he swallowed the Autumn Water Dew...
My nose suddenly felt hot, I felt a little panicked, my whole body tensed up, and I was on high alert, not daring to move around recklessly.
While this area fell silent, Dugu Bo had already received the notification.
The nine-sectioned jade coiled on his shoulder suddenly popped its head out, its scarlet forked tongue hissing.
"Has it been found yet? Ugh, it's so hot!"
Wiping the fine beads of sweat from his brow, Dugu Bo, relying on the Nine-Section Jadeite and following the distinctive scent in the air, quickly found Ye Qiu and the other person.
Once they were close enough, Ye Qiu put the tiger away.
At this moment, Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan were standing on a tree about 100 meters away from a cave.
The land surrounding the crypt was dark red, and the scent of blood still lingered on it.
Ye Qiu stared intently at the cave entrance, his expression stiff, and a few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan stared intently at him, her face flushed, her eyes filled with a mixture of shame and anger.
"Hey kids, what's wrong with you two now?!"
As soon as Dugu Bo landed, he saw the two of them standing motionless, like breathing wood.
"Senior, it's nothing. I was just preventing the soul beasts from escaping."
"Hmph! It's nothing!" Dugu Yan also snorted coldly, no longer staring at Ye Qiu.
After a moment of silence, Dugu Bo didn't want to delve any deeper. In any case, judging from their expressions, it shouldn't be a bad thing. So what if there was a conflict?
He's already decided to take action; things have progressed this far, so nothing else matters anymore!
He chuckled to himself, realizing that the most important thing now was to help Yan Yan obtain her fourth spirit ring.
"Kid, is that the soul beast you found?"
Dugu Bo stroked his beard and pointed to the two-foot-wide hole in the ground.
"Hmm, it's a dragon-patterned demonic serpent that's almost thirteen meters long! It's as thick as two people's waists! It must be over twelve thousand years old! Having just finished eating, it should probably go back to sleep..."
"A dragon-patterned demonic serpent, huh? That's quite fitting..."
After searching his memory, Dugu Bo finally remembered the information about the soul beast.
The Dragon-Patterned Demon Serpent primarily grows in length before it reaches ten thousand years of age, but begins to thicken and grow larger after that.
It has an inverted triangular head and a tail with fins.
Its body is mainly covered with dark scales, interspersed with even finer white scales. The white scales are connected to form complex patterns. It is said that it contains traces of dragon blood and is also highly poisonous. It likes darkness and dampness and is inherently violent and bloodthirsty. This is how the Dragon Patterned Serpent got its name.
