Dugu Bo had been observing Shui Binger and Lin Xiao, from their appearance and temperament to their Martial Soul level and their tacit understanding, they were a perfect match.
Shui Binger's strength also amazed Dugu Bo for a while.
This girl is indeed good!
More than good, she was so outstanding that Dugu Bo felt depressed!
Yan Yan ah Yan Yan, grandpa is breaking his heart for you!
Dugu Bo said gloomily:
"Alright, now it's Lin Xiao's turn to hunt for a Soul Ring, right? What do you say, will you and Shui Binger join forces to hunt Soul Beasts, or should I take action?"
Lin Xiao pondered slightly.
When fighting the eight-thousand-year Water Condensing Cold Kite, Lin Xiao felt he still had some strength to spare. Anyway, he had been crushing it the whole time, very easily. Now that Shui Binger had become a Soul Ancestor, the power of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill would only be stronger.
This was no ordinary Soul Ancestor.
This was an Ultimate Ice Soul Ancestor! "I think we can try. Let's have Binger and me do it. Since this time it's me hunting for the Fourth Soul Ring, then I will take the lead in the Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Dugu Bo nodded.
His emerald eyes glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing aside, making the little cat feel a little chilly, and she shrank her neck.
Dugu Bo sneered:
"Do you know why I didn't avoid you?"
"Because there's no need!"
"You knew too much from the beginning! If you leak the news, I don't know if my disciple will encounter trouble, but I will definitely do what I say!"
"Not only will I kill you, but I will also kill your whole family!"
Lin Xiao chuckled.
Dugu Bo's threat was really simple and crude.
Look how scared Zhu Zhuqing was, the color that had just returned to her face was now pale again.
Lin Xiao comforted her, "It's okay, anyway, there aren't many good people in your family."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened.
Her black and white eyes stared at Lin Xiao, as if they could talk:
Listen to what he's saying, is that human language?
"Haha, just kidding!"
Lin Xiao laughed, finding it quite interesting to tease Zhu Zhuqing.
But Zhu Zhuqing was not interested in this kind of dark humor.
Because what Lin Xiao said was true...
...
The group came to an open area.
The vegetation in this place was not lush, and there were traces of burning on the exposed red rocks. In the distance, several red, flamingo-like vultures could be seen, with white heads that looked somewhat "bald", chattering together, not knowing what bird language they were speaking.
Dugu Bo said, "Go ahead."
It was that simple and crude.
Find them, rush up and fight.
Lin Xiao and Shui Binger exchanged a tacit glance, then stepped forward together, vaguely blocking the Blazing Flame Vultures' path.
Zhu Zhuqing was most afraid of Dugu Bo, but now that she had come to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, she had no choice but to stay close to Dugu Bo, for fear of being suddenly attacked by some unknown Soul Beast.
At this moment, in the forest.
The Blazing Flame Vultures had already discovered their presence and were instantly alarmed.
"Second Soul Skill, Frost Assault!"
Shui Binger immediately activated her Soul Skill domain, instantly covering the Blazing Flame Vulture's territory with frost. The Ultimate Ice emitted a bone-chilling cold, slowing down the Blazing Flame Vultures.
"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!"
Still an instant, target-seeking, and consistently effective god-level Soul Skill. Although, due to attribute and Soul Power strength, it only froze one five-thousand-year Blazing Flame Vulture, it intensified the slowing effect on the other Blazing Flame Vultures.
"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Feather Array."
Lin Xiao released his First Soul Skill, and countless flaming feathers shot out, not attacking the Blazing Flame Vultures, but sealing off the surrounding space.
He could freely control the flame temperature. When the Blazing Flame Vultures, whose age didn't meet the requirements, panicked and tried to escape, Lin Xiao lowered the flame temperature, opening a gap to let them flee.
It still came down to this.
No need, no killing! In the end, only one Blazing Flame Vulture remained within the Phoenix Feather Array, and it was the only one over ten thousand years old.
A fifteen-thousand-year-old Blazing Flame Vulture Lord!
Shui Binger's Frost Assault and Ice Seal skills seemed to have little effect on the Blazing Flame Vulture Lord, and it had no intention of escaping. Instead, it stood quietly, its sharp bird eyes calmly watching Lin Xiao and Shui Binger, who had suddenly intruded.
Lin Xiao frowned slightly. "Fifteen thousand years?"
His original plan was to find one that was over twelve thousand years old, but under fifteen thousand years old. After all, Ye Qingxian tested his physique to ensure that he could absorb a twelve-thousand-year Soul Ring painlessly.
Fifteen thousand years… wasn't the age a bit too high? Lin Xiao didn't hesitate for too long.
He'd take it.
Damn it, Tang San could absorb a twelve-thousand-year Soul Ring while practicing some broken Xuan Tian Gong. They said it was a narrow escape from death, full of dangers, but Tang San didn't die.
Not even any after-effects! Even if Tang San was a favored child of destiny, a special case.
But wasn't Lin Xiao special?
Did he eat the Ten Thousand Year Whale Gel for nothing? Did he temper his body with Evil Fire for nothing? Did the Ultimate Fire Phoenix evolve for nothing?
"If he can go, so can I!"
Lin Xiao just didn't believe in fate! Hmph, he still had the Ink Jade Phoenix form, thick-skinned and sturdy! After the other thousand-year Blazing Flame Vultures left one after another, the Blazing Flame Vulture Lord, who had been quietly observing Lin Xiao and Shui Binger, moved.
A sense of crisis surged in Lin Xiao's heart! His battle instincts were warning him! "Binger!"
Lin Xiao didn't say much, just called out two words, and Shui Binger understood Lin Xiao's meaning.
Their skin touched, their Soul Power intertwined, and a powerful aura erupted. After a flash of scarlet red light, a noble flame throne appeared in place.
And the adult version of Lin Xiao, wearing a black Phoenix Robe.
He looked indifferently at the Blazing Flame Vulture.
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.
The leader of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill could switch? And it was executed so smoothly! How compatible must they be! Only Martial Souls with the same origin… That's right! Lin Xiao and Shui Binger's Martial Souls were both Phoenixes, one extremely cold, one extremely fiery, weren't they from the same origin? Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lin Xiao in the sky with a different light in her eyes.
After becoming an adult, Lin Xiao's facial features were more defined, and his temperament was more domineering and noble. The first impression he gave was…
Powerful!
Reliable, trustworthy, and incomparably powerful!
Regardless of whether he was strong or not, his aura was there! Zhu Zhuqing's heart was pounding. She had always had a vague concept of a partner, and didn't know what kind she liked.
But now she seemed to know!
She liked this kind! But… Zhu Zhuqing remembered something, and remained silent, only clenching her sleeves.
Because of her experiences since childhood, Zhu Zhuqing had always been in a high-pressure environment, and she herself lacked a sense of security. Dai Mubai's abandonment and betrayal had only added insult to injury.
So she inevitably admired the strong.
But rather than admiring the strong, it was more like a desire for security…
Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, only kept looking at Lin Xiao.
The difference between people was so great.
