Li Shang didn't know what method Lu Ye had to deal with the Soul Devouring Aphids, but once this kind of strange insect entered the Soul Sea, it would rapidly reproduce and what awaited Lu Ye was the exhaustion of his Divine Sea and the loss of his Soul Force.
In fact, the number of Soul Devouring Aphids that invaded her body just now wasn't too many, but in just a short while, they had already reproduced into a small group, which showed how strange they were.
Lu Ye, however, acted as if he hadn't heard her and just stared at the group of Soul Devouring Aphids that had rushed into his Soul Sea.
He was still thinking about how to safely and effectively solve Li Shang's problem, but these little insects ran out on their own, saving him a lot of trouble.
When the Soul Devouring Aphids entered his Soul Sea, Lu Ye immediately felt a heart-wrenching pain. It was the feeling of his Soul being torn apart. Under his perception, he could clearly perceive that the Soul Devouring Aphids were frantically gnawing at the power in his Divine Sea and quickly dividing into more individuals.
In just a short while, the number of Soul Devouring Aphids had doubled.
This thing … was indeed very strange.
Lu Ye wanted to observe more, but the pain from his Soul was really unbearable, so he could only urge the power of his Talent Tree.
In an instant, a strange flame appeared in his Divine Sea, enveloping all the Soul Devouring Aphids within it. Enveloped by the flame, the Soul Devouring Aphids were completely annihilated.
Li Shang, who was anxious but didn't know what to do, couldn't help staring blankly at the inexplicable flame, vaguely feeling the great threat it brought to her …
Thinking about how she had actually launched a Soul Battle against Lu Ye and wanted him to set her free, Li Shang felt a little scared. Fortunately, Lu Ye never had any intention of killing her, otherwise, when this flame appeared, she would have already suffered the same fate as the Soul Devouring Aphids.
"Are you alright?" Li Shang asked worriedly.
"I'm fine," Lu Ye shook his head.
His Soul was slightly damaged, but he could just refine a Soul Refining Grass later to make up for it.
"Li Tai Bai, can I stay here?" Li Shang asked embarrassedly. She was not timid and her will was very strong, but the Soul Devouring Aphids were really the nemesis of the Soul Race. Since there were Soul Devouring Aphids in the Mist Dragon, she didn't dare to wander around outside.
Previously, the Soul Devouring Aphids only attacked her and not Lu Ye because they were attracted to her Soul.
Lu Ye noticed her fear and was secretly amused, but he still replied, "Of course."
He flashed out of the Deity Sea and continued forward with a torch in hand. He couldn't help but feel a little strange.
The star map given by the Reincarnation Tree clearly indicated that there was no special danger inside the mist dragon. The only danger here was the mist dragon itself. How could there be something like the Soul Devouring Aphids?
Of 'of' '' 'of of's's's''s's.???? s..
After walking for a while, another corpse appeared in the light of the torches. Lu Ye wasn't surprised, but when he looked at the corpse, he couldn't help but be startled.

Soul Of Soul '' '' Aphids' ''t' Of '''s Of??
Taking a closer look, Yang Kai found that the child's body was chubby and she wore a jade bracelet on her lotus-root-like wrist.
Just as Lu Ye was sizing her up, he suddenly noticed a mass of black mist rising from the child's body and rushing straight towards him.
The black mist gave him a familiar feeling. Instinctively, Lu Ye urged his Spirit Qi to protect himself, but the black mist simply ignored his Spirit Qi protection and poured directly into his body before disappearing.
The next moment, Li Shang's exclamation came from his Divine Sea, "Li Taibai, there are more Soul Devouring Aphids!"
Lu Ye hurriedly manifested his Soul Avatar and saw a mass of black mist condensed from Soul Devouring Aphids in his Divine Sea. Without any hesitation, he immediately urged the power of his Talent Tree to burn this small mass of aphids.
Li Shang's face was filled with fear, "Why are there more Soul Devouring Aphids?"
She thought she would be safe hiding here, but who would have thought she would be so frightened that her face turned pale.
"I think I found the source." Lu Ye said, his mind returning to his senses as he looked at the chubby corpse in front of him. If he wasn't mistaken, the source of the Soul Devouring Aphids was here.
This little girl should have been attacked by the Soul Devouring Aphids and mistakenly entered the Mist Dragon, becoming trapped here. Although the little girl was dead, the Soul Devouring Aphids were still alive.
No wonder Soul Devouring Aphids appeared in this place, they really were foreign.
Lu Ye looked at the little girl's corpse and sighed slightly. No matter what the little girl's true identity was, she still looked like a child. It was really pitiful for her to die in such a place.
He raised his hand and grabbed her arm, preparing to collect her along with the several corpses he had encountered before, then find a place to bury her later.
But the moment he touched her, Lu Ye felt something was wrong. Squeezing it a little, he found that the lotus-root-like arm was still flexible. Although it was cold, it was not the kind of touch a corpse should have.
Slightly startled, Yang Kai carefully felt it, and in the next moment, his face filled with shock.
This little girl … was actually still alive! It was just that her vitality was extremely weak, like a candle in the wind and rain, about to be extinguished at any time.
Lu Ye couldn't help but hesitate …
If the other party was a corpse, there was naturally nothing to say. He would just collect the corpse and find a place to bury it, but she still had a little vitality.
If he left her alone, Lu Ye would feel a little apologetic, but if he wanted to save her, Lu Ye didn't know who she was. If he saved an evil person who was very strong, the gains would not make up for the losses.
After a while, Lu Ye clenched his teeth. If he just left her alone, he wouldn't be able to get over it. Since that was the case, he could only try to save her and see if he could save her.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if she really was an evil person, he had saved her life. As long as she still had a little conscience, she wouldn't kill him.
Thinking so, Lu Ye quickly took out a Spirit Pill and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth, then urged his Spirit Qi to help her swallow and refine it.
Swallowing one Spirit Pill after another, Lu Ye could clearly feel that the other party's vitality was slowly becoming stronger, and the temperature of her body was no longer as cold as before.
However, the other party showed no signs of waking up. It seemed that she had been injured for too long and it was difficult for her body to recover.
What made Lu Ye even more concerned was that while he was here, a black mist of Soul Devouring Aphids would emerge from the little girl's body from time to time and pour into his Divine Sea, but all of it would be burned away by the power of his Skill Tree.
After a long time, under Lu Ye's observation, the little girl's body was basically fine, but she still showed no signs of waking up.
Combining this with the Soul Devouring Aphids, Lu Ye had a guess and his Spiritual Energy surged and invaded her Divine Sea.
If the other party was in a normal state, Lu Ye naturally wouldn't be able to do this at will, but this little girl had been unconscious for an unknown period of time and had been tortured by the Soul Devouring Aphids, so her Spiritual Energy defences had long since been shattered, so Lu Ye had no difficulty in invading.
Looking around, Lu Ye was shocked. What Divine Sea? This was simply a nest of aphids!
The entire Divine Sea had dried up, without the slightest trace of Spiritual Energy remaining. Everywhere he looked, he saw a dense mass of Soul Devouring Aphids, a vast expanse of black!
The Soul Devouring Aphids that had previously harassed Lu Ye had obviously flown out from here.
Feeling the aura of Lu Ye's Soul Avatar, the Soul Devouring Aphids immediately swarmed over, pouncing on him and wrapping him up in the blink of an eye.
Strange flames suddenly burst forth and swept out in all directions, turning large swathes of Soul Devouring Aphids into nothingness. The flames continued to spread, incinerating even more Soul Devouring Aphids.
After a while, Lu Ye withdrew the power of his Skill Tree and the Soul Devouring Aphids could no longer be seen in his field of vision.
Only a white cocoon remained standing in the centre of the dried-up Divine Sea.
Lu Ye flew forward and carefully examined it, discovering a trace of Spiritual Energy coming from the white cocoon. Through the hazy white cocoon, he could vaguely make out a small figure curled up inside.
If he wasn't mistaken, the one inside this white cocoon should be the little girl's Soul Avatar.
Yang Kai didn't know whether this white cocoon was a Soul Artifact or a Soul Secret Technique, but no matter what it was, being able to persist under the encirclement of the endless Soul Devouring Aphids was obviously no trivial matter.
Gently knocking on the white cocoon, the figure inside did not respond, so Lu Ye had no choice but to withdraw for the time being.
Li Shang's voice rang out in his mind, "Li Tai Bai, what's the situation now?"
Lu Ye briefly explained what had happened to him before Li Shang emerged from his Divine Sea and stared blankly at the little figure in front of him who seemed to be sleeping soundly, a look of surprise on his face as he asked, "Do you know what her cultivation is?"
Lu Ye shook his head, "I don't know."
The other party's physique didn't seem to be strong, seemingly not even reaching the Star Constellation Realm, but if she could survive in the Starry Sky, how could she not be a Star Constellation Realm cultivator? Her Divine Sea had dried up, so it was impossible to infer her cultivation from the situation of her Divine Sea.
"What should we do now?" Li Shang asked.
Lu Ye also wanted to know what to do now. He thought he was just going to collect a corpse, but it turned out to be a living person. Unfortunately, he didn't know what her cultivation and temperament were like, which inevitably gave him a headache.
Now that the vitality of her body was slowly recovering and the Soul Devouring Aphids in her Divine Sea had all been dealt with, there should be no problem for her to survive.
It was just that her Soul had suffered heavy damage and he didn't know when she would wake up.
After hesitating for a while, Lu Ye said, "Let's take her with us."
Since he had already saved her, he couldn't just leave her be, so he might as well save her to the end, perhaps he could even form a good karma.
Li Shang nodded, took a step forward, and picked up the little figure. Lu Ye held the torch and continued forward, followed by Li Shang.
After walking for a few more days, the fog in front of them suddenly cleared and endless starlight shone into their field of vision.
Lu Ye was overjoyed.
They had finally made it out!
