Chapter 78: Nether Civet
The two of them didn't run very far before the powerful Vajra Bear got out of the state of concentration.
"Roar~!"
As soon as the powerful Vajra Bear got out of control, it immediately let out a thundering roar.
Ye Chen's second soul skill, Concentration, has the effect of stopping the opponent's thinking.
Now there are wounds everywhere on the head, and even one of the bear's eyes is blind. This makes the Powerful King Kong Bear unable to understand what happened before.
From the perspective of this powerful Vajra Bear, just as he was about to rush forward again and slap the two snacks to death, the hateful human hit him with a stick, and he was now like this in the blink of an eye.
After roaring, the powerful Vajra Bear did not pursue him again.
Because it was afraid, in just a moment, he was covered in bruises and one of his eyes was blind. If he continued to chase it, would he even lose his life?
After struggling for a long time, the powerful Vajra Bear finally gave up.
......
As night fell, in an open space just inside the inner area of the Star Dou Forest, the two of them set up a tent and were having dinner.
While eating dinner, Ye Chen secretly thought to himself, why hasn't this lucky card taken effect yet?
The two of them have been searching for a day in areas where thousand-year soul beasts appear more frequently. During this period, they also encountered a ten-thousand-year-old powerful Vajra bear, but they just couldn't find a suitable target for Zhu Zhuqing.
Could it be that the big cat is just out of luck? Even with the blessing of a lucky card, it can't change much?
Otherwise, if the big cat had a lucky card bonus, he shouldn't have found it yet, right?
"Zhuqing, you go and rest. I'll keep watch first."
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was full, Ye Chen motioned for her to rest first.
The Star Forest is not a quiet and peaceful place, and the number of spirit beasts active at night is not much less than during the day, so someone must take turns to keep watch.
Generally speaking, those who come to the Star Dou Forest, as long as they are not too strong, will not come alone.
Because people will always be sleepy, not taking a rest for a day or two is nothing to a soul master, but not taking a rest for a long time is definitely not enough.
There might be a spirit beast taking advantage of your sleep to give you a little surprise.
"Okay then, call me then."
Nodding, Zhu Zhuqing entered the tent to rest.
......
It was late at night, outside the tent, Ye Chen was constantly looking at the surrounding situation.
During the vigil, Ye Chen did not dare to enter the cultivation state, otherwise he might not be able to react in time if an unexpected situation happened.
It was estimated that it was already the middle of the night, and Ye Chen was about to change shifts with Zhu Zhuqing.
Suddenly, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows. Under his spiritual perception, which was far superior to that of a soul master of the same level, an uninvited guest came to the camp.
With the bright moonlight, Ye Chen looked into the dark forest ahead.
Soon, a purple and black spirit beast with a nimble body walked out of the darkness quietly.
"Huh? A ghost civet that is more than 2,500 years old?"
Seeing the uninvited guest appearing in front of him, Ye Chen recognized it immediately.
"Zhuqing, come out quickly, your takeaway is here!"
Immediately, Ye Chen shouted to Zhu Zhuqing in the tent, but his eyes were still fixed on the ghost civet.
The Nether Civet Cat is an agility-based attack spirit beast. It is very fast, and it is still night. If he is not careful and the Nether Civet Cat runs into the forest and escapes his sight, Ye Chen has no confidence that he will be able to find it again.
In the tent, Zhu Zhuqing, who was sleeping lightly in his clothes, heard Ye Chen's voice and immediately opened his eyes, got up and left the tent.
"Meow~"
Seeing that he was discovered for the first time, the sharp claws of this ghost civet cat's dexterous limbs popped out and was about to attack Ye Chen.
"Young man, take a hit from me! The first soul skill, confinement!"
In an instant, the pure bamboo staff appeared in Ye Chen's hand, and he launched his first soul skill at the Nether Civet.
A shadow of a bamboo stick quickly flew out from Ye Chen's body, landed on top of the head of the ghost civet, and then hit it hard with the stick.
With the sound of "Boom -", the Nether Civet Cat's head was stunned at first. When it reacted, it immediately found that although its brain could still think, its body could not move at all and was imprisoned in place.
"Huh? A ghost civet that is more than 2,500 years old?"
As soon as he came out of the tent, Zhu Zhuqing discovered the Nether Civet imprisoned by Ye Chen.
"Luckily, this little kitten came to my door on its own initiative. Zhu Zhuqing, hurry up."
"Ah."
Nodding, Zhu Zhuqing directly possessed his martial spirit, stepped forward quickly, and sent the defenseless ghost civet to heaven.
In an instant, countless golden light spots floated out from the Nether Civet Cat's body, and then a purple soul ring gradually appeared.
‘Yes, yes, lucky cards are useful after all. ’
This ghost civet can be said to be the most suitable for Zhu Zhuqing. If it weren't for a slightly different year, it would be comparable to absorbing the god-given soul ring.
As for whether Zhu Zhuqing can safely absorb this soul ring, Ye Chen is not worried. For soul rings that are less than ten thousand years old, as long as the physical fitness is strong enough, there is no need to worry about safety issues.
With Zhu Zhuqing's current physical quality, he can absorb even a spirit beast that is three thousand years old, not to mention that this ghost civet is only over two thousand five hundred years old.
......
Time gradually passed, and it was ten minutes before dawn.
"what--"
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing, who was absorbing the soul ring, frowned suddenly and let out a scream.
'what's the situation? ’
The sudden change attracted Ye Chen's attention.
Ye Chen was a little confused. Although Zhu Zhuqing absorbed the third soul ring this time, it exceeded the limit of the optimal soul ring ratio by many years, but with her endurance, it shouldn't be impossible to absorb, right?
Just when Ye Chen was confused, there was a sound of tearing cloth, and a purple and black tail suddenly appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's buttocks. It looked exactly like the tail of the ghost civet cat on the ground.
"Damn~, a soul bone attached to the outside?!"
Seeing the tail growing out of the big cat's butt, Ye Chen's eyes immediately widened.
The previous Zhu Zhuqing didn't have a tail, but it was just a decoration, not the same as the two rabbit ears on Xiao Wu's head.
As for why Zhu Zhuqing wears clothes with a tail, Ye Chen has also understood before that the tail's role is not just as a decoration, but also as a balance.
Because the agility attack type soul master is fast, with the tail, Zhu Zhuqing can more easily control his balance.
‘I just don’t know how it feels to the touch? ’
Looking at the tail growing out of the back of the big cat's butt, Ye Chen thought to himself.
After knowing that it was an externally attached soul bone, Ye Chen put down his worries. If the soul ring could be absorbed smoothly, it would definitely be no problem to absorb the externally attached soul bone.
