29: Meeting on the river thirty years later is fate
Lin Chuan was not surprised. Although his archery skills had reached the subtle level, it did not mean that he could always hit the target. It was normal for him to be caught and dodge."Come again!"
Without giving the Ice Crystal Bird time to react, Lin Chuan shot another arrow.
This time, the hundred-year-old soul ring from the King of Earth shone with dazzling light.
"Exploding Arrow!"
Arrows with fire flew out.
"Chirp!" The Ice Crystal Bird spread its wings and hovered in the air. Its not-so-big eyes revealed obvious anger. It flapped its wings violently, stirring up endless cold wind.
Snowflakes condensed into ice crystals and fell all over the sky.
Boom!
The explosive arrow exploded, and flames shot up into the sky, covering all the ice crystals and shattering them. The smoke and dust also blocked the vision of both sides.
Just then, there was a sudden movement in the smoke.
Three arrows pierced through the thick smoke, broke through the air, and attacked the Ice Crystal Bird in a triangular shape. The angles were so tricky that it even blocked most of its dodging angles.
"Chiu!"
The left wing of the Ice Crystal Bird was pierced by an arrow. It let out a mournful cry towards the sky and flapped its other wing desperately, but the severe pain affected its flight and it eventually fell heavily to the ground.
With a whoosh, another arrow pierced the other wing of the Ice Crystal Bird.
This thousand-year-old soul beast was already seriously injured and nailed to the ground by arrows, unable to break free no matter what.
Lin Chuan walked forward slowly, but the Ice Crystal Bird suddenly opened its mouth and a stream of blue frost spurted out of its mouth and swept towards Lin Chuan.
"What a murderer!"
With a sigh, Lin Chuan tapped the ground with his feet and dodged at the right time.
It is worthy of being a wild soul beast in the three soul beast gathering places. It is full of savagery and unwilling to surrender. It is quite dangerous. Even if it is seriously injured, it is still ferocious. However, it is too naive to want to launch a sneak attack.
As Lin Chuan moved, he came in front of the Ice Crystal Bird.
"clang——"
The hatchet was unsheathed and hit the Ice Crystal Bird on the head with force. The huge force of soul power contained in it directly knocked the Ice Crystal Bird unconscious.
"Done!"
Lin Chuan slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The whole process went relatively smoothly. From encountering the Ice Crystal Bird to subduing it, not much effort was spent. It was just that the noise made during the battle was a little loud, and there was no guarantee that other soul beasts would not come over to join in the fun.
"So... should I absorb this spirit ring?"
Looking at the ice crystal bird at his feet, Lin Chuan hesitated.
To be honest, the Millennium Ice Crystal Bird is not very aggressive, but it is also the most suitable soul beast Lin Chuan has encountered since entering the Frozen Forest.
One thousand seven hundred years, close to the upper limit of the third soul ring of ordinary people.
With Lin Chuan's current physical condition, it would be no problem for him to absorb such a spirit ring beyond his level.
"Huh… Let's not wait any longer. Even if we continue to search, I'm afraid we may not be able to find a soul beast more suitable than this thousand-year-old ice crystal bird."
After thinking it over again and again, Lin Chuan finally decided to absorb it.
Not to mention that it is very dangerous to go deeper into the frozen forest. The ten thousand year old soul beasts inside are quite ferocious. Lin Chuan alone cannot run rampant here. Now it is rare to find a suitable soul beast, so he naturally cannot miss it.
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan first sprinkled some animal repellent powder nearby, then slowly raised the hatchet in his hand and chopped towards the neck of the Millennium Ice Crystal Bird.
"Please wait a moment!"
Suddenly, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
Lin Chuan paused, and three figures came out one after another from the direction where the Ice Crystal Bird had flown from.
Two of them were young girls around twelve years old, and the other one was an extremely beautiful woman with an exquisite diamond-shaped face that was delicate and beautiful, long black and shiny hair that reached her waist, phoenix eyes that revealed a hint of shrewdness, and a frosty temperament between her brows that kept people at a distance.
They were actually the three people who had met once before outside the frozen forest.
"Luckily I'm not dead!"
One of them, a cool girl with long black hair and a snow-white face, looked at the ice crystal bird on the ground and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"trouble!"
Lin Chuan secretly spat, but still did not act rashly. He held the hatchet tightly and bowed, "Greetings, senior, but I don't know why you want to stop me?"
It was still the same girl with a heroic air, "You can't kill that Ice Crystal Bird. We were the first to discover it and hunt it down. There's still ice left on its chest by Bing'er!"
Lin Chuan turned the Ice Crystal Bird over with his foot, and saw the frozen feathers. He thought to himself that it was bad luck.
I didn't expect that after finally finding a suitable soul beast, it turned out to have been injured by someone else.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
However, these are not important. The most important thing is that the other party has a master who is at least a Soul Saint, or even a Soul Douluo. Even if he wants to fight for it, he is no match for him.
The law of the jungle is so cruel.
"Okay, Xuewu, let me do it!"
At this moment, the beautiful woman with a cold, noble and dignified temperament suddenly spoke and turned to look at Lin Chuan.
"I'm sorry, little brother. We were indeed the first to discover this Millennium Ice Crystal Bird. It is very suitable for my student. And considering your age, it is unlikely that you will be able to absorb a Millennium Spirit Ring. So I hope you can bear the pain and give it up."
"But rest assured, little brother. We are from Tianshui College. You subdued the Ice Crystal Bird, so we will not do anything to rob you. We will definitely give you a satisfactory compensation. What do you think?"
He was not as strong as he had imagined. Instead, he was approachable. Even his observation Haki did not detect any malice in him, which surprised Lin Chuan.
He was thinking about compromising first, and then chanting "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't despise the young and poor", and then go to Tianshui College to regain his face when he becomes stronger in the future.
Unexpectedly, the spell was interrupted by someone.
I just don't know whether the other party is sincere or just speaking insincerely.
"Since you were the first to encounter this Millennium Ice Crystal Bird, and you were so polite, how can I not appreciate your kindness? Moreover, it was really a fluke that I was able to capture it. It would be better to say that I took advantage of its injury. As for compensation, there is no need for that."
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly and finally chose to compromise.
The situation is stronger than the people, there is nothing we can do. Being able to survive is already a sign of the other party's good temper.
For a soul master who is about to advance, a good soul ring is undoubtedly very important, not to mention that in the wild, if someone has a strange temper, they can kill you without any problem.
The beautiful woman was lucky that she did not take action immediately.
What Lin Chuan wants now is to leave quickly.
As if she could see what Lin Chuan was thinking, the beautiful woman opened her round lips and smiled, "You are quite clever, kid. But don't worry, after all, you are the one who captured the Millennium Ice Crystal Bird. Even if we took the initiative, it's not easy to take it for nothing."
"How about this? It just so happens that my student needs a spirit ring to advance. I can also help you find a suitable spirit beast and use its spirit ring as compensation. You won't suffer any loss in vain."
"this..."
It's true that Lin Chuan was very tempted. Moreover, the other party had proposed it again and again. If he refused again, it would be a bit impolite.
"Senior, you are so righteous, so I am shameless and want to refuse your kindness!"
"You are such an interesting person, just follow us for now!"
