The journey was arduous!
This forest that seemed peaceful and full of life actually brought Lu Yuan a lot of trouble.
Along the way, they encountered no less than a few waves of soul beasts. Fortunately, Lu Yuan was strong enough to kill these soul beasts one by one.
Nightfall!
Spending the night in the forest was definitely an extremely dangerous thing, especially when Lu Yuan was the only one left. Just the roars of the soul beasts in the forest at night made Lu Yuan have no choice but to be alert.
Lu Yuan meditated to recover his mental and physical strength while using his spiritual perception. He didn't dare to relax at all.
This forest was extremely large, and it would take a long time to pass through it. Thus, Lu Yuan had to ensure that he had enough physical strength.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Even though the roars of the soul beasts were incessant, Lu Yuan still managed to pass through his first night in the forest peacefully.
As the sun gradually rose, Lu Yuan opened his eyes.
After washing up and eating some rations, Lu Yuan continued forward.
The forest was too big. The sooner he got out, the sooner he could meet up with senior sister. She should be looking for him right now.
Thinking of Hu Lena, Lu Yuan's lips curled into a smile.
Holding the World-Shaking Spear, Lu Yuan continued forward.
"Roar!" Accompanied by a tiger's roar, Lu Yuan's World-Shaking Spear pierced through the body of an Explosive Flame Tiger. It was a thousand-year Explosive Flame Tiger.
Lu Yuan withdrew his World-Shaking Spear without any fluctuations in his heart. This was already the third time he had encountered a thousand-year soul beast today. Of course, in front of Lu Yuan's powerful strength, they were all killed one by one.
Lu Yuan habitually cut the Explosive Flame Tiger's body. It was obvious that a thousand-year Explosive Flame Tiger wouldn't have something as good as a soul bone. However, Lu Yuan wasn't disappointed as he had already prepared himself.
He cut up some fresh tiger meat and stored it in his Astral Ring after processing it. He didn't bring much rations with him, and he had a huge appetite. If this continued, he would run out sooner or later.
As for why he didn't bring more, it was because the soul beast meat couldn't be stored for long and would go bad. Therefore, Lu Yuan only brought enough for a few meals at most. Lu Yuan wouldn't eat spoiled meat.
Therefore, he decided to eat the meat of these soul beasts first. As for the rations, they were specially made and had a long shelf life.
Lu Yuan regretted that he didn't know any ice-type abilities. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to worry about those soul beasts going bad if he brought too many of them. All he had to do was freeze them. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about food.
Noon!
Unknowingly, Lu Yuan had walked for a few more hours. It was already noon.
Lu Yuan found a relatively spacious area, lit a bonfire, and began to roast the Explosive Flame Tiger meat.
It was forbidden to light a bonfire in the forest at night because it would attract the attention of many soul beasts. However, during the day, due to the strong sunlight, it wouldn't have much of an effect.
Furthermore, the Explosive Flame Tiger meat had traces of fresh blood, so it was best to roast it. Eating raw meat was something Lu Yuan didn't have the habit of doing.
Lu Yuan was a good cook and liked to bring some seasonings with him. Lu Yuan had salt, basil, and honey in his Astral Ring.
Under the roasting of the fire, the Explosive Flame Tiger meat gradually shrank and drops of golden fat slowly dripped from the meat.
Lu Yuan methodically sprinkled seasonings and smeared honey on the meat. Each piece of meat was golden in color and emitted a rich meaty aroma.
The meat that Lu Yuan cut was very large and long. When skewered on the washed willow branches, it glowed with oil and looked very appetizing.
He roasted a total of three skewers, which seemed to weigh about five kilograms. Lu Yuan realized that his appetite seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Furthermore, the Explosive Flame Tiger was a 1,000-year soul beast, so its meat was extremely good for Lu Yuan's body.
At least it was nutritious enough.
The flames gradually extinguished, leaving only some red charcoal. Lu Yuan picked up a skewer of barbecued meat and sniffed it. A rich aroma entered his nostrils, and Lu Yuan could not help but nod in satisfaction. It seemed that his culinary skills were still as excellent as before.
Lu Yuan picked up a skewer and was about to bite into it when a figure suddenly barged into Lu Yuan's line of sight.
It was a girl wearing a black leather jacket. Her figure was outstanding, but her small jade-like face was filled with coldness. Her pitch-black eyes were also filled with bone-chilling coldness.
It was Zhu Zhuqing, whom Lu Yuan had seen before. However, her current state was not good!
There were two obvious wounds on her arms that were bleeding profusely. There was also a wound on her lower abdomen. Her jade-like face was pale and she swayed as she ran. It seemed that even her soul power had reached its limit.
Behind her, there was a mosquito the size of a millstone chasing after her. This mosquito had two pairs of blood-red wings, and each pair of wings was densely covered with golden patterns.
This was a top-notch hunting-type soul beast on the same level as the Man-Faced Demon Spider, the Blood-Winged Golden Mosquito.
The mosquito chasing Zhu Zhuqing was clearly a 1,000-year soul beast. It was no wonder that Zhu Zhuqing was so heavily injured.
Lu Yuan saw Zhu Zhuqing, and Zhu Zhuqing naturally saw Lu Yuan as well.
A trace of pleasant surprise flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, but it instantly dimmed. There was a struggle in her eyes. She actually turned to the right and staggered away.
Lu Yuan was shocked. When he saw the pleasant surprise in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, he thought that Zhu Zhuqing would run towards him and lure the Blood-Winged Golden Mosquito over. Then, she would let him fight with the Blood-Winged Golden Mosquito while she withdrew herself.
In the end, he didn't expect her to turn around and run away. Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel surprised.
He didn't expect this ice-cold girl to have a kind heart.
Lu Yuan smiled faintly. If Zhu Zhuqing had chosen to divert the disaster, then she definitely wouldn't have had a chance to live. This was because Lu Yuan hated it when people schemed against him. Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing was one of the original Shrek's Seven Monsters. The current Lu Yuan didn't have a good impression of Shrek's Seven Monsters.
As for the thousand-year Blood-Winged Golden Mosquito, Lu Yuan didn't put it in his eyes. He could easily kill it.
However, Zhu Zhuqing's choice now made Lu Yuan's heart tremble. It touched Lu Yuan's soft spot. She was such a beautiful girl, and she was also very kind. Lu Yuan couldn't just watch such a beautiful girl die in front of him.
Holding the Astonishing Spear, Lu Yuan's figure disappeared like the wind.
Zhu Zhuqing was seriously injured, and her soul power was exhausted. She couldn't even use her Martial Soul Possession, so how could she escape the Blood-Winged Golden Mosquito's pursuit?
Zhu Zhuqing staggered and fell forward. The Blood-Winged Golden Mosquito behind her stabbed its sharp mouthpart towards Zhu Zhuqing's body.
Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes in despair. Her fiancé had run away from home and abandoned her. Her future was already bleak. Today, she was going to die in the hands of a mosquito. Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. She said to herself, "Perhaps, this is my destiny!"
