Chapter 248 A Soul Ring Delivered to Our Door.
"That's enough for today. It's getting dark. Let's find a place to rest after we collect the materials from this Three-Eyed Spirit Tiger!" Wu Xuan raised his short spear and easily dissected the Three-Eyed Spirit Tiger's head.
"Okay!!" The two nodded and immediately went to help. The three, who were used to killing spirit beasts, found dissecting corpses a piece of cake.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Wu Xuan and the other two had completely dissected the Three-Eyed Spirit Tiger's carcass down to a skeleton. It was so clean that even flies would slip on it.
After finishing, the three left the spot and walked nearly two kilometers to the other side before stopping to rest. After having dinner, they set up their tent on the spot.
No spirit hunting team had ever dared to set up a tent in the mixed zone, but the three of them did just that. With Wu Xuan around, they could be as comfortable as possible.
"Wu Xuan, your tent was gnawed to pieces by the Thousand-Jun Ants yesterday. Do you have another tent?" Wang Dong asked as he stepped forward.
"There's only one tent, but it's okay, someone's almost done setting it up." Wu Xuan said, turning his head to look at Xiao Xiao, who was happily setting up the tent.
"There are only two tents, Xiao Xiao is a girl, you can make do with mine." As he spoke, a hint of shyness flashed in Wang Dong's pinkish-blue eyes.
"What? Wang Dong, are you running a fever?" Wu Xuan looked at Wang Dong in shock. What did this mean? Could it be that Buddha had his eye on him?
With Electrolux gone from Huo Yuhao, without his biggest support, it really was possible. Thinking about this, Wu Xuan almost broke out in a cold sweat. Being noticed by Buddha would be a catastrophe.
"You're the one with a fever! What's wrong with two grown men sharing a tent?" Wang Dong clenched his small fists and said irritably.
"What are you two talking about? What's with all this tent stuff?" Xiao Xiao, having finished her work, hummed a little tune as she approached the two. Since Wu Xuan's tent was broken, he'd have to sleep with her, which made her happy.
"Nothing much, just discussing how the three of us can sleep comfortably tonight with two tents!" As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily drifted to where Xiao Xiao was sitting. It was right next to Wu Xuan.
"No need to discuss! I have a girlfriend here. What would it look like if two grown men slept together? It's more comfortable to sleep with my girlfriend." With that, Wu Xuan deliberately leaned down and kissed Xiao Xiao. The next moment, he used his spiritual power to carefully observe Wang Dong's expression.
"Girlfriend? You two?" Wang Dong looked at the two in surprise. He had always known that Wu Xuan and Xiao Xiao had a good relationship, so he wasn't surprised by their intimate behavior.
"Of course! Although it's a bit of a regret to be a little late, being close by is always an advantage. I definitely won't miss out on this opportunity." Xiao Xiao leaned against Wu Xuan and smiled sweetly.
"Congratulations!" Wang Dong congratulated him sincerely. In an instant, his strange feeling towards Wu Xuan lessened considerably, and his mental state became much clearer.
"Yeah! Thanks a lot." Wu Xuan carefully observed Wang Dong's expression and exhaled a deep breath. His expression hadn't changed much; he must have been overthinking it.
"Wang Dong, you should get some rest too. We'll continue our search for spirit rings tomorrow!" Xiao Xiao called out, pulling Wu Xuan into the tent.
Wang Dong stared at the two of them for a long time, then murmured in a voice only he could hear, "Why do I feel so strange?"
The two didn't go too far inside the tent; they didn't even take off their clothes. They just kissed briefly and then closed their eyes, embracing each other. They had walked such a long way during the day; they were definitely tired.
As for doing that kind of thing, he wouldn't want to live, that's why he did it in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Late at night! As a faint aura rapidly approached, Wu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his terrifying mental power locking onto it. The next instant, the approaching unfamiliar aura abruptly stopped and quickly turned back, disappearing into the distance.
"What's wrong! A soul beast is coming?" Xiao Xiao had already woken up the moment Wu Xuan sat up.
"Something came, but it only revealed its aura and then ran away instantly," Wu Xuan explained. Wu Xuan trusted his aura perception completely, especially with the enhancement of the power of destiny within the Eye of Life; his aura perception had never failed him, so there was no question of a delusion.
"Should we warn Wang Dong?" Xiao Xiao asked nervously.
"Not for now. I feel this soul beast is very cunning; it probably won't attack without a few tests. We won't have any peace and quiet in the latter half of the night," Wu Xuan said gravely.
"It's fine if I don't sleep! I feel like I've rested enough after two hours." Xiao Xiao smiled and leaned against Wu Xuan's chest.
"If you're not going to sleep, then I'll continue sleeping." Wu Xuan yawned and slumped back down.
Why wasn't Wu Xuan worried at all? It naturally stemmed from his strength. Unless it was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it would be instantly killed by him. Besides, even if a 100,000-year-old soul beast came, they would have to fight to determine the winner.
Just as Wu Xuan had expected, this cunning soul beast probed five or six times in the latter half of the night, finally making its move before the sun rose, as darkness gradually faded.
A white shadow swiftly pounced towards the tent where Wu Xuan and his companions were. Just as the white shadow was less than a hundred meters away from the tent, and was about to open its mouth, a beam of crystalline pink light shot out, accurately hitting the white shadow's mouth. The next instant, terrifying pain caused the white figure to writhe violently, but it couldn't utter a sound.
The 100,000-year-old Annihilation Dragon Claw Soul Skill, Annihilation Light!
This attack directly destroyed the white figure's vocal cords and mouth; it would be strange if it could even make a sound.
In the next instant, as Wu Xuan's third ring suddenly lit up, he gently grasped the white figure in the distance, and the breeze around him instantly became viscous.
The next instant, the wind element solidified, trapping the white figure within a sharply defined, emerald-green crystal. Only then did Wu Xuan clearly see the attacking white figure; it was also a three-eyed spirit tiger, judging by its size, possessing at least 20,000 years of cultivation.
At a distance of nearly 150 meters, Wu Xuan's third soul skill still managed to trap the opponent instantly—a momentary attack, and even lock-on with mental power. This was enough to demonstrate the power of his third soul skill.
"What happened? What's going on?!" After the dust settled, Wang Dong suddenly awoke and rushed out of the tent.
"It's nothing, just a three-eyed spirit tiger that came to ambush us, but it's been dealt with. Its cultivation level of around 20,000 years should be perfect for Xiao Xiao." Wu Xuan smiled faintly and headed directly towards the three-eyed spirit tiger.
"20,000 years of cultivation? A spirit ring delivered right to my door! This service deserves full marks!" Upon hearing that it was a three-eyed spirit tiger and around 20,000 years old, Xiao Xiao happily followed.
