Chapter 10: Small surprises, small dissatisfaction

There are always dangers lurking in the primeval forest.

Green is everywhere, and it is also the camouflage color for predators in the forest. After a long period of evolution, they finally chose to blend into the environment in order to survive better.

As the saying goes, when nature and man are one, all things cannot contend, and nothing in the world dares to go against them. When nature and beast are one, although it is difficult to find the way of nature with wisdom, we can still follow the trend, and the survival of the fittest can be seen at a glance.

"Xiaoyan, follow me!"

"coming."

Chen Yan curled his lips and followed Gu Yuena's steps.

She is 1.42 meters tall, with long silver hair that reaches her legs. She walks among the green woods like an elf between heaven and earth. Even the vibrant forest seems to be eclipsed at this moment.

Damn, she is obviously only nine years old! Chen Yan rubbed his eyebrows, distressed.

On the side that he couldn't see, the thin lips on Gu Yuena's delicate face were slightly raised, showing ease and happiness.

……

Chen Yan and Gu Yuena walked forward on the dead leaves.

"Click... click..."

The dry leaves break and weather underfoot, and will turn completely into dust in the near future.

However, compared to the silent return of dust to dust, Chen Yan felt that it would be better to let it add a touch of rhythm to his journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform and give full play to its last light and heat.

After all, Kuye Sang, you don't want to leave this world silently, right? (ω)
Of course, this is not the only reason for stepping on dead leaves. There is another reason...

Chen Yan's eyes flashed with gold, he clenched his right fist, turned around, and swung out.

Faint golden scales covered his right arm along with soul power. As Chen Yan punched, the surrounding air rubbed against his fist, making a sound of breaking through the air.

With one punch, a leopard approached infinitely in the air, and the clouded leopard had no way to avoid it.

"boom!"

Chen Yan's fist avoided the clouded leopard's mouth and hit its left cheek hard.

"Crack..."

The enormous force directly shattered its cheekbone, and it was blown away like a cannonball and hit the tree behind it heavily.

Wood chips flew everywhere, smoke and dust rose up. A faint wail came from the clouded leopard's mouth, weak and as if it had been tortured (a big man was pressing down on it... crossed out).

It took three years of hard work to catch this punch, but it seems that it didn't catch it! I fell down without even using my soul skills. Am I that strong?
Chen Yan was feeling self-inflated when he heard Gu Yuena's cold voice.

"Let's solve it quickly."

Chen Yan shuddered. Killing a soul beast in front of its master, wasn't this another form of "committing a crime in front of her husband"? She wouldn't be ruthless when sparring with her in the future, right?
Thinking about the situation when Gu Yuena took advantage of him, Chen Yan felt the pain caused by the explosion of ice and fire surge up again.

On one side is the cold and snowy land, with biting wind and ice covering everything; on the other side is the hot volcanic lava, with blazing flames and rolling heat waves. It can be said that these two elements alone will not have much impact on Chen Yan, but I don't know why these two elements can be combined together strangely, and even explode, which is really incomprehensible (Li) and (Sister).

As a result, the explosive belt enchantment successfully made the thick-skinned Chen Yan suffer a lot in the battle with Gu Yuena. He couldn't hit her, but his agility was increasing rapidly.

"it is good."

Chen Yan's movements were swift and he wiped its neck cleanly this time, trying to make it suffer less. And he also saved it from taking so many detours for so many years, Gu Yuena should understand, right?

Chen Yan glanced at Gu Yuena guiltily and found that her expression was still dull and he couldn't tell anything.

A woman’s heart is like a needle in the sea!

Seeing that Chen Yan had finished absorbing the spiritual energy, Gu Yuena turned around. "Keep going, we are very close to the core area now."

The forests became denser and denser, the sunlight became scarcer, and at the same time the number of soul beasts gradually decreased, but their age increased.

Chen Yan had already killed three thousand-year soul beasts, but Gu Yuena just watched quietly, with no intention of taking action.

Maybe she just couldn't do it, Chen Yan comforted himself in this way (benefit).

After killing three thousand-year soul beasts, Chen Yan's hundred-year soul had already reached the conditions for soul upgrading, and the soul upgrading would be completed as long as Chen Yan left the soul upgrading platform. In other words, they only had one last goal left on this trip - the soul bone of the guardian beast.

According to internal information, this guardian beast with only soul bones is located in the east of the core area of ​​the forest. It is two thousand years old. Because of its soul bones, it can even fight against higher-level soul beasts. Although it is not as good as the top soul beasts of the same level, it has reached the top level among high-level soul beasts. (For details, please refer to the human-faced demon spider.)
The 1-year-old tail soul bone can also be said to be an external soul bone. Although the age of the soul beast created by technology is only 10/ of the original, it does not have much impact on the power of the soul bone skills. Although it consumes a lot of energy for the soul beast, it can still be used as a trump card to attack the enemy unexpectedly.

But how do I get this thing out? I don't want to grow a scorpion tail. If it's Gu Yuena... Da me, no, Dragon Tail Lady is so cool!
Gu Yuena naturally didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise she would have put in more effort in the subsequent competition.

The forest in front of me was getting darker and darker, and the whole area was eerily quiet. There were no birds singing, no insects chirping, and it seemed that even the air was stagnant in space, no longer flowing.

Gu Yuena's expression became serious for once.

"Xiaoyan, prepare to fight."

Chen Yan naturally became alert when he sensed danger after entering this area, but he was still lacking a little in terms of mental strength.

The black shadow moved among the surrounding bushes, making a rustling sound.

Suddenly, a distorted halo descended from the sky. Its range was so large that it even illuminated the dim surrounding environment for a moment.

"Fuck, he started out big right away!"

The dazzling red light approached rapidly in Chen Yan's eyes. Chen Yan grabbed Gu Yuena's wrist and prepared to escape to the left. However, just as his left foot took a step forward and his right foot was about to exert force, a silver light flashed and Chen Yan stepped into empty air.

Chen Yan: ??? I specially sent it???
Chen Yan is about to successfully contribute a famous scene of face touching the ground!

The head can be cut off or bleeding can occur, but face cannot be lost!

Chen Yan gritted his teeth, turned around again, and hugged Gu Yuena in his arms.

Gu Yuena's purple pupils suddenly shrank and her expression was slightly stunned. She was originally preparing to teleport again, but this incident caused the soul power she used to teleport to stagnate, and even her body was stiff for a moment.

"boom-"

Chen Yan's back landed safely.

"Are you okay?"

"fine."

Gu Yuena shook her head and looked away to hide the fluctuations in her eyes.

Seeing that the two were safe, a giant scorpion slowly walked out of the woods. The scorpion was snow-white, with a strong murderous aura emanating from its joints. Its tail, made of nine coccyx segments, was raised high, with a fiery red tail hook attached to it.

"Roar!"

The King of the Earth let out a sharp cry to vent his dissatisfaction with the failed attack. This also broke the slightly awkward atmosphere between Chen Yan and Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena gently climbed up from Chen Yan's arms, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

I don't know if it was a rebellion against the scorpion or if there was another reason...

　Ah, I accidentally brought this up again, I’m so sorry (ω) Although I don’t have classes on the weekend, I always feel like I didn’t do anything, which is really weird.
