Chapter 8 Meeting Hu Liena
Standing on a tall tree, Luo Ling looked at the gloomy forest.

It had been two hours since he entered the Soul Hunting Forest. Daybreak would soon arrive, but he hadn't even seen the shadow of the Ghost Bird.

Although Luo Ling didn't think he could find the target so quickly, he was still a little disappointed.

Shaking his head helplessly, Luo Ling jumped down from the tree.

Finding a secluded spot in the forest, he pitched his tent and started a fire.

Making a fire in the forest at night is undoubtedly a very dangerous behavior, but Luo Ling doesn't care.

He took out the corpse of the soft-bone rabbit he had hunted earlier, cleaned it with a dagger and started to grill it.

After a while, after filling my stomach, the sky between the trees was already turning a little pale.

Day is about to break, which means the ghost bird will not appear again.

He sighed in his heart, sprinkled animal repellent powder around the tent, and then Luo Ling went into the tent.

"Roar!"

Not long after he closed his eyes, Luo Ling was awakened by a lion's roar.

Luo Ling quickly stood up and rushed out of the tent. In the dim morning light, he could vaguely see two figures a few hundred meters away, one in front and one behind, rushing towards him.

Squinting his eyes slightly, a crow flew over and took in everything.

In front was a girl with short golden hair, with two yellow soul rings moving up and down rhythmically on her body.

Behind it is a lion with flames all over its body, looking very majestic.

"Red Flame Lion, over 5 meters long, a thousand-year-old soul beast!"

In an instant, Luo Ling recognized the pursuing soul beast.

The Red Flame Lion is probably the most powerful type of soul beast in the Soul Hunting Forest. It is born with the power to control fire and has immense strength.

Looking at the two people chasing in front, Luo Ling's expression was slightly solemn.

The girl was seen running while shooting pink flames to attack the red flame lion continuously, but with little effect.

As both have the attribute of fire, it is obvious that the girl's flame is much inferior to that of the red flame lion.

After thinking quickly for a few seconds, Luo Ling turned around and ran without hesitation.

……

Hu Liena burst out with all her speed, running in a panic, with a look of indignation on her face.

She slept well last night, but her teacher asked her to enter the Soul Hunting Forest at night to try out the training at night.

This would have been nothing, but who would have thought that not long after entering the forest, we would encounter this thousand-year-old red flame lion.

You have to know that in this Soul Hunting Forest where ten-year soul beasts are the most common, thousand-year soul beasts are extremely rare.

Hu Liena was secretly complaining about her luck when she suddenly saw a figure appear in front of her.

He looked to be about seven or eight years old, just a kid.

But Hu Liena was not disappointed at all. It was impossible for a child to appear in the Soul Hunting Forest alone. He must be accompanied by an elder.

She was about to ask for help, but she saw the silver-haired boy turned around and ran away without even looking back!

"Hey, you naughty kid in front, do you have any sense of public morality? Ask your elders to come over and help!" Hu Liena shouted angrily.

Public morality? Where did this innocent girl come from? This isn't the Blue Star society of the previous life... Luo Ling curled his lips.

Completely ignoring the girl's intentions, a pale yellow spirit ring rose from Luo Ling's body and then lit up.

The first soul skill, Dark Weaving, is activated.

Invisible dark threads shot out, and Luo Ling's figure instantly bounced up, weaving through the trees like Spider-Man, and swung into the distance.

In the dark, Ju Douluo and Bibi Dong, who had been hiding and peeping, were looking at this scene in silence.

I don’t know whether to laugh at Hu Liena’s naivety or Luo Ling’s decisiveness.

"Bastard!" Hu Liena was so angry that her eyes widened but she could do nothing.

The two and the lion chased each other in the forest. Luo Ling was only an eleventh-level spirit master after all, and was gradually caught up by Hu Liena and the Red Flame Lion.

"Big sister, can you please not follow me? This red-flaming lion is chasing you, okay?"

Looking at the girl and the red-flame lion getting closer and closer, a few drops of cold sweat appeared on Luo Ling's forehead.

"Let's die together! I'll let you run!"

As if in revenge, Hu Liena glared at Luo Ling and said angrily.

"I can't beat this lion. Am I going to die if I don't run away?" Luo Ling was speechless. "I'm just a spirit master. What do you want me to do?"

"Wouldn't it be better to ask your elders to come out and help?"

"If I had elders, would I have run away until now?" Luo Ling couldn't help it anymore, veins popped out on his forehead.

Hu Liena didn't seem to expect Luo Ling to say this, and was choked for a moment.

While the two were talking, the red flame lion finally caught up with them, and while Hu Liena was distracted, he roared and pounced on her.

The scorching flames came towards her, and Hu Liena seemed to be frightened.

Where on earth did this stupid young lady come from... Luo Ling didn't know what to say.

How dare you be distracted in this situation?

Seeing that the blonde girl was about to die at the lion's claws, even Ju Douluo in the dark was planning to rescue her.

At the critical moment, a black shadow knocked Hu Liena to the ground, and the sharp claws of the red flame lion missed Hu Liena's body and grabbed the black shadow fiercely.

The black shadow was immediately slapped away, breaking several trees nearby.

Hu Liena stood there in a daze, staring at the dark figure lying on the ground not far away, her face pale.

"How long are you going to stay in a daze?" A cold voice sounded in the forest. Luo Ling controlled the dark threads to tightly bind the red flame lion.

He finally took action.

Only then did Hu Liena react. She looked at Luo Ling who was safe and sound on the other side, and then looked at Luo Ling who was lying on the ground, feeling a little puzzled.

However, Hu Liena knew that this was not the time to be in a daze, so she quickly ran to Luo Ling. At this moment, the dark threads that bound the Red Flame Lion broke.

The red flame lion, who had broken free from his restraints, shifted his gaze from Hu Liena to Luo Ling.

The dark thread not only bound the Red Flame Lion, but also absorbed its vitality and soul power.

This strange feeling made the Red Flame Lion feel threatened.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Ling brought the Crow Shadow Puppet that had fallen to the ground back to his side.

The Crow Shadow Puppet that was hit by the Scarlet Flame Lion has become tattered, many of its black crow feathers have disappeared, and the whole thing has become illusory.

But that doesn't matter.

The Crow Shadow Puppet is completely condensed by dark power. As long as Luo Ling has enough soul power, it can recover from any kind of damage.

"What is your martial soul? What soul skills do you have?" Luo Ling, who was staring at the Red Flame Lion, suddenly asked Hu Liena beside him.

"What?" Hu Liena was stunned.

"I asked you what your martial spirit and spirit skills are?" Luo Ling repeated impatiently, "Now we can only work together to kill this spirit beast, otherwise we will all die!"

"I need to know your soul skills before I can think of a countermeasure!"

After hearing what Luo Ling said, Hu Liena finally understood and quickly said:
"My martial soul is a demon fox, and my first soul skill is the Fox Fire Command, which controls the fox fire to attack the enemy."

"The second soul skill is Fox Charm, a group mental charm skill."

"Fox Demon Martial Soul, Fox Fire Order, Fox Charm..." Luo Ling's pupils slowly dilated as he listened to Hu Liena's words.

Isn’t this Hu Liena’s martial soul and soul skills?
He turned his head suddenly and looked up and down at the girl in front of him. The more Luo Ling looked, the more he felt that she resembled him.

Blonde hair, fox tail, isn’t this exactly the same as the image in the anime?
