In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
In these three days, Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing didn't go anywhere. They stayed at the same place because Zhu Zhuqing's injuries were too severe. She couldn't move at all. Only after three full days did she manage to barely move.
Lu Yuan kept the tent in his Astral Ring. Today was already the fourth day.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still a little pale, Lu Yuan asked, "How is it? Can you walk?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said, "It's okay. If the distance isn't too long, I should be able to last for a while."
"That's good!" Lu Yuan said, "At most, we can walk for a while and rest for a while. Don't rush for too long every day. It shouldn't be too big of a problem."
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I've delayed you for so long." Zhu Zhuqing's cold little face had a trace of apology.
"What are you talking about? We're friends, aren't we?" Lu Yuan said.
"En!" Hearing this, a rare smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold and elegant face. It was as if the ice and snow had melted, and the spring breeze had blown over the earth. It was truly beautiful.
Lu Yuan was used to seeing beauties. Chihiro Snow, Hu Lena, and Bibidon were all rare beauties. Each of them could be said to be peerless, so Lu Yuan had a very strong resistance to beautiful women.
However, Zhu Zhuqing's smile actually gave Lu Yuan a breathtaking feeling. This scene of an ice beauty blooming with a smile was really something that ordinary people couldn't resist.
Looking at the sun on the horizon, Lu Yuan said, "Then let's set off!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
Lu Yuan held the Astonishing Spear in his hand and opened the path in front. Zhu Zhuqing followed closely behind him.
The two of them didn't advance very quickly. After all, Zhu Zhuqing's injuries hadn't healed, so she naturally couldn't increase her speed.
The dangers in the forest weren't for nothing. Not long after they left, another 100-year soul beast attacked. In the end, it was killed by Lu Yuan's spear.
"Roar!" A tiger's roar came. Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly focused. He gripped the spear in his hand tightly and said with a solemn expression, "Zhuqing, follow me closely. Don't fall behind!"
"Yes!" Zhu Zhuqing hummed softly. She wasn't angry at Lu Yuan for calling her Zhuqing. In fact, in the past three days, under Lu Yuan's care, the relationship between the two had become much closer.
Especially when Lu Yuan had seen Zhu Zhuqing's abdomen when he was changing her bandages. Such intimate contact was unforgettable for the reserved and conservative Zhu Zhuqing.
In Zhu Zhuqing's heart, Lu Yuan's position was somewhat special. He was not just a simple friend.
Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing didn't seem to reject Lu Yuan's closeness to her.
When she was being chased by the Blood-Winged Golden Mosquitoes and was in despair, Lu Yuan appeared in front of her like a god and saved her. To the nine-year-old Zhu Zhuqing, Lu Yuan was like a ray of light that was firmly engraved in her heart.
No matter how precocious and stubborn Zhu Zhuqing was, she was still a girl. Furthermore, she was only a nine-year-old girl. In this dangerous forest, she had met Lu Yuan. At the same time, he was a youth with great strength and an excellent temperament. Zhu Zhuqing had unconsciously developed a dependence on him.
It was just that she hadn't realized it yet.
Zhu Zhuqing followed behind Lu Yuan. She stared at Lu Yuan's broad back and asked, "What kind of soul beast was that?"
Lu Yuan felt the power contained in the roar just now. He secretly estimated and said, "Judging from its voice, it should be a tiger-type soul beast. Its voice carried a majestic aura. Its cultivation should be above a thousand-year!"
"A thousand-year tiger-type soul beast?" Zhu Zhuqing's brows furrowed. A soul beast of this level wasn't easy to deal with.
"Don't be afraid. Just leave it to me!" Lu Yuan seemed to have sensed Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts and said.
"En, be careful!" Zhu Zhuqing replied softly.
"It's fine. It's just a small problem!" Lu Yuan held the World-Shaking Spear and said in a relaxed tone.
"It's coming!" Lu Yuan's gaze focused. He felt the power coming closer and closer, and a golden light flashed in his right hand.
Patches of weeds were pushed aside, and a purplish-black figure appeared in front of Lu Yuan. Its body was emitting streaks of purplish-blue lightning.
"A thousand-year Thunderspirit Tiger!" Lu Yuan's lips curled into a smile. "Zhuqing, there's a way to treat your injuries!"
Lu Yuan's right foot stomped on the ground, and a small hole appeared where his foot landed. Then, his figure burst out.
In mid-air, Lu Yuan completed his martial soul possession. His Golden Dragon martial soul instantly took over his body. Golden light sprinkled down, and diamond-shaped golden scales climbed up both sides of Lu Yuan's face. His arms turned into dragon claws, and two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, emitted a dazzling light.
"His second soul ring is a thousand-year!" Zhu Zhuqing's heart trembled when she saw Lu Yuan's shining purple soul ring. How is this possible?
Furthermore, the pressure from Lu Yuan's martial soul caused the Netherworld Civet in Zhu Zhuqing's body to tremble. This was the suppression of a high-rank martial soul over a low-rank martial soul. This suppression was much stronger than that of the Seonra Empire's White Tiger martial soul.
For a moment, Zhu Zhuqing's curiosity about Lu Yuan grew. How did he do it?
"Die, you bastard!" Lu Yuan's first soul ring suddenly lit up. First soul skill, Golden Dragon Fist!
"Roar!" The thousand-year Thunderspirit Tiger let out a low roar, and a bluish-purple ball of light shot out from its mouth.
Lu Yuan didn't dodge. He pushed aside the ball of light with his spear and stabbed the Thunderspirit Tiger with the tip of his spear!
The Thunderspirit Tiger wasn't willing to be outdone. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Lu Yuan with its purplish-black body.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart skipped a beat when she saw the man and tiger preparing to fight head-on. Lu Yuan was too reckless to fight a soul beast head-on!
"Lu Yuan, be careful …" Zhu Zhuqing was anxious when she saw the man and tiger approaching. She was afraid that something would happen to Lu Yuan.
However, Lu Yuan and the Thunderspirit Tiger were too fast. Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish her sentence, they had already collided.
"Awoo!" A mournful tiger roar sounded. The Thunderspirit Tiger's huge body was sent flying by Lu Yuan's attack. There was a hideous wound on the tiger's body. In a head-on collision, Lu Yuan had gained the upper hand.
Who was the soul beast here?
Zhu Zhuqing was a little confused.
"Azure Dragon Explores the Sea!" Lu Yuan's attacks had always been fierce. The moment the Thunderspirit Tiger landed on the ground, before it could stand up, Lu Yuan's spear had already arrived.
"Die!" The Startling World Spear pierced through the Thunderspirit Tiger's throat and into its brain. This time, the thousand-year Thunderspirit Tiger didn't even have the chance to struggle before it died at the hands of Lu Yuan.
"Zhuqing, what did you say to be careful of?" Lu Yuan turned around and asked.
A light breeze blew, and his clothes fluttered.
"I …" Zhu Zhuqing wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Lu Yuan's shout.
"Zhuqing, be careful!"
"Be careful of what?" Before Zhu Zhuqing could react, a blood-red vine wrapped around Zhu Zhuqing tightly and dragged her to the left side of the forest.
