Lin Muyu was secretly speechless. Qu Chu's cultivation was indeed not something she could compare with. He seemed more like an otherworldly expert. Perhaps all experts who had stepped into the Saint realm would be like this?
Who knew? In any case, the strongest person Lin Muyu had seen was this Level 94 Saint realm expert in front of her. The second strongest person was Eagle Eye, who was killed by her with a single slash. It was a pity that Eagle Eye treated human life like grass. Compared to Qu Chu, he was simply an unforgivable villain.
…
In the afternoon, they had officially entered the true depths of the Seven Stars Forest. All kinds of spirit beasts ran amok, and many of them were ferocious beasts that killed people. Fortunately, Qu Chu's cultivation was extremely high. He brought the two young people along and avoided the foraging routes of the spirit beasts, so they were safe.
When it was close to evening, they finally came to a wasteland. Immediately, Qu Chu became excited and said with a smile, "Princess Xi, your Beast Spirit is not far away!"
"Oh?" Tang Xiaoxi's beautiful face was filled with confusion.
Qu Chu explained, "It's obviously autumn now, but the grass in this wasteland has already withered. This is a sign of winter. This can only mean that the grass has been roasted. There must be a fire attribute spirit beast living in this area. Furthermore, to be able to affect the environment to such an extent, the Beast Spirit must be at least 2000 years old!"
Tang Xiaoxi said happily, "Alright, let's hurry over."
"En!"
Qu Chu urged the horse forward, and Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi also followed.
As they got closer, even the wind that blew against their faces had a scorching feeling. Further ahead, the small forest was already barren, and only a few withered trees were left. Qu Chu dismounted, plucked a branch, and slowly crushed it, saying, "This tree has been withered for more than three years. This evil beast must have been here for more than three years, so it is quite familiar with the terrain and smell here. Be careful, we might have encountered an extremely strong spirit beast. If the Beast Spirit is more than 10,000 years old, the two of you should quickly run!"
"Run?" Lin Muyu asked cautiously, "Could it be that Qu can't defeat a 10,000 years old spirit beast?"
Tang Xiaoxi giggled, "Silly Mu, Qu is a Level 94 Holy Venerable, and a 10,000 years old spirit beast should have the strength of a Holy Venerable. If this spirit beast is more than 30,000 years old, then it should have the strength of a Level 100 Holy King. We don't even have to run anymore …"
Qu Chu looked back at Lin Muyu and smiled, "Hey, are you scared yet?"
Lin Muyu sat lazily on the horse, "It's alright, a princess and a Holy Venerable will be eaten with me. As a Level 17 trash, it's not a loss …"
Tang Xiaoxi glared at him and chuckled, "You're quite optimistic!"
Qu Chu smiled subconsciously. He could not see the arrogance and hatred of young people in Lin Muyu, but he saw more gentleness and motivation. This was also one of the reasons why Qu Chu admired Lin Muyu. Perhaps it was because this kid's alchemy skills were really good?
…
Not long ago, Qu Chu tied his horse to a withered tree at the side and carefully pulled out the sword on his waist. It was a red long sword, which was quite similar to his personality. Although Qu Chu had entered the Saint realm, he still had a fiery temper. Moreover, his martial soul was the Fire Cauldron, so he was born with the fire attribute. This was also the reason why Tang Xiaoxi's grandfather asked Tang Xiaoxi to follow Qu Chu to train.
The three of them slowly came to the foot of a mountain and found a big hole between the rocks. The surrounding rocks were even burnt black. Qu Chu bent down and used his hand to smear the soil on the ground. He sniffed it and said, "The last time it passed by here was about two days and two nights ago. Could it be in its nest …"
Tang Xiaoxi asked, "Qu, do you know what kind of beast is in this hole?"
Qu Chu looked at the trail of flames on the ground and said, "It's a crawling creature, but it seems like … … a part of its body is moving along the ground, like a snake. What is this?"
Saying so, Qu Chu looked at Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi and said, "You two wait for me outside, don't go in with me. This beast seems to be in a deep sleep, and it's definitely a beast spirit over 5000 years old. With your strength, you won't be able to help much."
Lin Muyu nodded, and Tang Xiaoxi didn't act willfully either. She stood guard outside with Qu Chu.
… …
Qu Chu held his sword and entered the cave alone.
After waiting for a full five minutes, there was no movement at all. Tang Xiaoxi pouted and said, "Grandpa Qu Chu couldn't have … … been eaten by a spirit beast, right? It's been so long … … "
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh, "It shouldn't be, he's a Holy Venerable."
Just as she finished speaking, a violent tremor came from inside the cave. Then, they heard Qu Chu's voice coming from inside the cave, "Run, it's a 9000 year old Fire Flood Dragon!"
"Fire Flood Dragon?" Tang Xiaoxi's mouth was wide open. She didn't understand. She had never heard of a spirit beast like the Fire Flood Dragon.
Lin Muyu knew it wasn't as simple as it seemed. She quickly grabbed Tang Xiaoxi's hand and used Falling Star Steps to rush to the side of the stone hill. There was a burning sensation behind them.
"Roar!"
With a deafening roar, a giant creature chased after Qu Chu out of the cave. It was indeed a Fire Flood Dragon. It was a creature with the head of a horse and the body of a snake. It had five claws, but its body moved on the ground. Its body was covered in thick scales, but these scales were wrapped in raging flames. With a roar, it spat out a mouthful of flames at Qu Chu.
"Damn … … a Fire Flood Dragon … …" Lin Muyu was secretly shocked.
A 9000 year old Fire Flood Dragon was around level 87. It was a bit weaker than Qu Chu, but not by much. Moreover, it was a spirit beast that had cultivated for close to ten thousand years. Its bestial nature was enough to close the gap. Qu Chu didn't dare to be careless. He suddenly stopped and with his sword in hand, he let out a low roar. The fire cauldron came out of his body and condensed into a giant shield in front of him. This was his martial soul's ability.
Flames shot out and the surrounding grass was quickly ignited. This place was about to become a sea of fire. The Fire Flood Dragon roared and suddenly pounced forward, crazily swinging its claws at the fire cauldron.
"Peng, peng, peng … …"
After a series of attacks, Qu Chu found it extremely difficult to defend. His face began to pale and cold sweat dripped down. He clenched his teeth and decided to go all out!
"Peng!"
Lightning appeared on the blade of his sword. With a low roar, Qu Chu activated the Cyan Rock Armor. His figure flashed past the Fire Flood Dragon's chest like lightning. "Kacha!" It was the Lightning Strike. The Fire Flood Dragon's front leg was immediately cut off. The Lightning Strike's separation ability was very powerful. At this time, Qu Chu used the Lightning Strike to show Lin Muyu how powerful this simple move could be!
Lin Muyu was naturally dumbstruck. She understood the strength of a 9000 year old spirit beast. The scales of the Fire Flood Dragon were extremely hard, but Qu Chu had actually cut off one of its legs with a single slash!
"Hou!"
Under the pain, the Fire Flood Dragon could no longer stand straight. It opened its jaws and bit down on Qu Chu.
Qu Chu's aura soared. With a loud roar, the Fire Cauldron suddenly expanded and began to spin rapidly. With a "peng" sound, the Fire Flood Dragon's head was blown away. Then, Qu Chu's left fist slashed out, sending out a Demon Sound Fist!
"Peng!"
The Fire Flood Dragon fell to the ground with an anguished howl. But it still didn't die. Its giant tail swept out like a sharp whip.
Qu Chu raised his right arm and the Fire Cauldron emerged from his body again. He used the walls of the cauldron to block the Fire Flood Dragon's attack. With a loud explosion, cracks appeared on the Fire Cauldron, but the Fire Flood Dragon was in an even worse state. Its entire tail was a bloody mess.
"Wu …"
Qu Chu gave a pitiful cough. His martial spirit and body were one, so if the Fire Cauldron was injured, it was the same as him being injured. Blood dripped down from the corners of his mouth. In order to kill this Fire Flood Dragon, he had also taken quite a bit of damage.
The Fire Flood Dragon roared. Its powerful vitality allowed it to continue raising its sharp claws and pouncing towards Qu Chu.
Qu Chu retreated again and again. He wanted to use the Demon Sound Fist to attack this wild beast's vitals. Otherwise, even if he killed the Fire Flood Dragon, he would only have half a life left.
At this time, Lin Muyu couldn't stand it anymore. With a low shout, the Azure Gourd emerged from her body. With a thought, the Azure Gourd Martial Spirit flew out. Gourd vines broke out from the ground. This was the Twisting Roots skill. With a rustling sound, the vines wrapped around the Fire Flood Dragon's injured leg. However, the Fire Flood Dragon was too strong. With a roar, it struggled to break the gourd vines.
"Wu …"
Lin Muyu felt pain all over her body. Her martial spirit had been injured. Although the gourd vines were very tough, they were nothing compared to the strength of a 9,000 year old spirit beast.
However, this bought Qu Chu a few seconds. When the Fire Flood Dragon turned around, Qu Chu had already exploded with a Demon Sound Fist. A sharp whistling sound came from the air. With a loud "Peng", the Fire Flood Dragon's eyeball was directly blasted open. Qu Chu was in for a penny, in for a pound, in for a pound. He lifted his sword and flashed like lightning, sending out three Lightning Strikes in a row!
"Ka ka ka …"
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere. In the next moment, the Fire Flood Dragon's giant head flew to the ground. Blood spurted everywhere. This 9,000 year old spirit beast was killed just like that!
… …
"Great!" Tang Xiaoxi cheered with a smile.
Qu Chu wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded towards Lin Muyu. He then said, "Princess Xi, hurry up and absorb the Fire Flood Dragon's beast spirit. Stop when you've absorbed enough. Otherwise, your body won't be able to bear it!"
"En!"
Tang Xiaoxi nodded. She sat cross-legged beside the Fire Flood Dragon's corpse and released her Fire Fox martial soul. The Fire Fox squeaked loudly and greedily absorbed the Fire Flood Dragon's spirit energy. Balls of flames enshrouded Tang Xiaoxi and the Fire Fox, making it almost impossible to see them clearly.
This process lasted for nearly an hour. Suddenly, Tang Xiaoxi let out a miserable cry and fainted on the ground. Wisps of flames flew out from her mouth.
"What's wrong?" Lin Muyu was greatly alarmed.
Qu Chu's face was even paler and his entire body was trembling. What would happen if something happened to Tang Xiaoxi? She was Duke Cang Lan's only granddaughter, the true pearl of his palm. If something happened to her, his life would be in danger!
"The Fire Flood Dragon's beast soul is too strong. Xiao Xi has absorbed too much of it and her body can't take it anymore. She needs to cool down with cold water. Quick!"
Qu Chu suddenly lay on the ground and listened to the pulse of the earth. He then flipped himself up and said, "Lin Muyu, use your footwork to carry Princess Xi five miles south. There's a lake there. Quick!"
Lin Muyu hurriedly bent down and carried Tang Xiaoxi. However, the moment she carried her, she felt as if she was hugging a piece of burning charcoal.
"Use your martial soul to resist the heat. Let's go!"
Lin Muyu hurriedly summoned the green gourd. As expected, the small gourd could reduce a lot of the heat. However, it was still very unbearable. She activated the Star Steps and dashed towards the lake in the south. Qu Chu's running speed was slightly slower. He shouted, "When we reach the lake, carry her and jump into the lake. Take off her clothes. Quick, don't hesitate!"
"Weng …"
Lin Muyu's mind went blank. Did such a good thing happen to her today?
However, she didn't have time to think about it. Tang Xiaoxi's life was at stake. No matter what would happen between them in the future, the most important thing now was not to let her die.
…
Soon, the lake appeared in front of them. Lin Muyu leaped and fell into the lake with Tang Xiaoxi.
"Pfft!"
Like a fireball falling into the water, Tang Xiaoxi's clothes were quickly taken off. Soon, the beautiful princess appeared in Lin Muyu's arms naked. She was in extreme pain and subconsciously extended her arms to hug Lin Muyu's neck. She could feel the coldness from Lin Muyu's martial soul. That was what she needed.
Water vapor rose from the surroundings and it was almost impossible to see what was happening.
At this moment, Lin Muyu was in even more pain. The beautiful princess was in her arms and she could even feel her proud breasts pressing against her chest. The feeling was indescribable.
Oh no, I've fallen!
