ch31

Lin Xuan glanced at her and released his hand that was pinching her face.

　　"Really! My second uncle runs a mecha factory!"

　　Xu Xiaoyan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and at the same time rubbed his face with his hands.

　　Humph! Things change over time! Don't look down on a poor girl! She will get her dignity back one day.

　　Xu Xiaoyan looked at Lin Xuan's handsome face and thought secretly in her heart.

　　"Then let me ask you another question. How many hundred-year soul beasts have you encountered today?"

　　Lin Xuan didn't dwell on this topic anymore, but changed the subject and asked.

　　"More than twenty..."

　　Xu Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue, her pretty face slightly red, and said shyly. In fact, she had also encountered several thousand-year-old soul beasts, but she didn't dare to say it out loud for fear of scaring them away.

　　"You don't think I'm unlucky, do you?"

　　Xu Xiaoyan said with some regret that he should have said fewer.

　　Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Xiaoyan thoughtfully.

　　It's good to be unlucky! If it weren't unlucky, he wouldn't want it.

　　"I can take you with me, but you have to obey my arrangements, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety."

　　Lin Xuan nodded and said to Xu Xiaoyan.

　　"no problem!"

　　Xu Xiaoyan nodded quickly, she was the best at making pendants.

　　…

　　A few minutes later, a green-leaf sword grass stood up tall, standing out in this towering forest and was particularly eye-catching.

　　"Lin Xuan! Am I really safe like this?"

　　Xu Xiaoyan touched the green-leaf sword grass at his waist and said with some disbelief.

　　Xu Xiaoyan could feel the cold wind blowing from afar on his face from time to time, and he felt like a target.

　　"It's okay! You can observe the movements of the soul beasts in the distance from up there, and I will deal with the attacks on the ground. This is called double protection."

　　"Believe me, I, Lin, never lie."

　　Lin Xuan analyzed to Xu Xiaoyan seriously.

　　"Is that so?"

　　Xu Xiaoyan looked at the forest in the distance and said uncertainly. Why did she feel that she could see the soul beasts, and the soul beasts seemed to be able to see her too!

　　"Honor! I'm a master tactician!"

　　Lin Xuan said this confidently, without blushing or beating his heart.

　　"roar!"

　　Just as the two were talking, a three-meter-tall tiger appeared in front of them.

　　Five hundred years!

　　Lin Xuan's eyes lit up. This Xu Xiaoyan was really effective! If he were alone, he might not be able to meet him even if he walked around for a whole day.

　　"I'll be back soon! Wait here for a while."

　　Lin Xuan said something to Xu Xiaoyan, picked up the sword and rushed over without looking back.

Chapter 40 Familiar Posture

　　On a low forest slope, Lin Xuan was walking on the grass. Behind him was a green-leaf sword grass and Xu Xiaoyan hanging on it.

　　"Something's wrong! According to Xu Xiaoyan's aura, she shouldn't have been without a soul beast for so long."

　　Lin Xuan frowned and thought.

　　This is flying a kite... No, since Xu Xiaoyan was released, soul beasts have been sent one after another in the past few hours.

　　In just this short period of time, he gained nearly two hundred years of spiritual power. Now he is only a few decades away from another spiritual upgrade.

　　But at this critical point, the soul beasts nearby seemed to be extinct, and no trace of them was seen.

　　"Xu Xiaoyan! Did you see any traces of soul beasts up there?"

　　Lin Xuan called out, but Xu Xiaoyan didn't reply. He looked up and couldn't help but frown.

　　I saw Xu Xiaoyan lying on his back in the air, his hands hanging vertically, his eyes closed, and he actually fell asleep on it.

　　Lin Xuan: ...

　　You are so thoughtful!

　　"Xu Xiaoyan! Wake up."

　　Lin Xuan yelled again in annoyance, then controlled a green-leaf sword grass to rise up and poked her butt.

　　"pain!"

　　Xu Xiaoyan immediately opened his eyes, cried out in pain, and then rubbed his butt with his hands.

　　"Is it nice to sleep up there?"

　　Lin Xuan rolled his eyes at Xu Xiaoyan.

　　"Hehe! It's okay, but it's a bit uncomfortable with your martial spirit on my waist."

　　"By the way, what did you just ask?"

　　Xu Xiaoyan chuckled and then asked Lin Xuan.

　　"I mean, have you seen anything new up there?"

　　Lin Xuan said tiredly, "You really made a comment, old man."

　　"Oh! Let me see!"

　　Xu Xiaoyan nodded her little head, looked up into the distance, and after looking around, she spoke to Lin Xuan below.

　　"There's one on the hillside ahead, it looks like it's a thousand years old, but there's someone over there."

　　In the past few hours, Xu Xiaoyan also understood that Lin Xuan completely used her as a soul beast trap. But she didn't care, as long as she could get through the remaining time.

　　"Thousand years! Let's go over there."

　　Lin Xuan was delighted when he heard this. This one was enough to make up for the remaining years.

　　He put Xu Xiaoyan down first, and then, as Xu Xiaoyan screamed, he held her and quickly rushed forward.

　　A thousand-year soul beast is not a hundred-year soul beast that he can manipulate at will. It is better to be safe than sorry, and it can also prevent alerting the enemy.

　　…

　　"Xie Xie! Go behind him and attract his attention!"

　　Tang Wulin shouted loudly, then he turned around and looked at Gu Yue behind him, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

　　Gu Yue was about four or five meters away from him at this time, and was almost out of the line of battle. Normally, Gu Yue would not be so far away from him.

　　"Gu Yue, speed up the wind element for me."

　　Tang Wulin quickly adjusted his mentality and said to Gu Yue, "The most urgent task is to capture this thousand-year-old flame demon lion, then his soul will be promoted to a certain level."

　　Gu Yue did not answer Tang Wulin, but waved her hands, and a breeze blew up, and green wind elements lingered under Tang Wulin's feet.

　　"Thanks!"

　　After Tang Wulin said this, he stepped forward and rushed towards the Flame Demon Lion in the distance.

　　"roar!"

　　The Fire Demon Lion slapped the tree next to it with one claw, and the trunk flew out horizontally, with countless fallen leaves flying in the air.

　　This flea-like human is so annoying.

　　"Light Dragon Blade!"

　　Xie Xie said coldly, and his figure appeared again on the left side of the Flame Demon Lion, slashing diagonally with the Light Dragon Dagger in his hand.

　　The sharp sword blade cut a long bloody mark on the skin of the Flame Demon Lion, but that was all. The remaining strong muscles held the Light Dragon Dagger firmly.

　　"roar!"

　　The Flame Demon Lion roared in pain, raised its claws and slapped Xie Xie.

　　At this time, an ice shield appeared out of thin air in front of Xie Xie. He hit it with his claws and the ice shield shattered, but Xie Xie took this opportunity to retreat calmly.

　　The Flame Demon Lion looked at Gu Yue in the distance with its beastly eyes, burning with anger. This woman was the most annoying. It opened its mouth and howled, and a harsh sound wave vibrated from its mouth to the surroundings.

　　The three people on the field paused, and taking this opportunity, the Flame Demon Lion spit out several balls of flames from its mouth and flew towards Gu Yue in the distance.

　　"No! Be careful."

　　Tang Wulin, who had just rushed over, yelled and turned to look at Gu Yue. Gu Yue was too far away at this time, and he had no time to return to defend.

　　Gu Yue had also recovered from the shock at this time, and wanted to leave with the wind element surrounding his feet, but the several balls of flames followed closely.

　　She could only retreat while releasing ice to try to stop it, but in the end a ball of flame broke through her blockade and blasted towards her head on.

　　Gu Yue put down the spell in her hand, her face calm under the firelight, she couldn't stop him at this distance.

　　"Why did you give up? When I saw you hitting me, it was like a cannon."

　　A light laugh was heard, and then a hand suddenly appeared, wrapped around Gu Yue's waist, and with a slight force, it pulled her back and she jumped away, avoiding the flames.

　　Smelling the familiar scent, Gu Yue subconsciously leaned into Lin Xuan's arms and rested her head on his shoulder, but then she immediately reacted and broke free.

　　Lin Xuan looked at Gu Yue with a smile in his eyes. Na'er liked to do that action the most.

　　Damn muscle memory!

　　Gu Yue's face flushed slightly, and she felt ashamed and angry. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a small figure running towards her.

　　"Wow! What a big cat! Lin Xuan, can we really beat it?"

　　Xu Xiaoyan walked over and pulled Lin Xuan's hand, pointing at the flaming demon lion in the distance and exclaimed.

　　"snort!"

　　Gu Yue's face turned cold, he stomped on Lin Xuan with his foot, and walked towards the battlefield ahead without looking back.

　　"Hiss~"

　　Lin Xuan took a breath of cold air. How could this guy repay kindness with enmity?

　　"It should be fine. However, this soul beast is theirs."

　　Lin Xuan shrugged, but did not make a move. This was what the three of them found first, so it was not easy for Lin Xuan to snatch it away.

　　"oh!"

　　Xu Xiaoyan looked at the three people in the distance and blinked. These people seemed to be quite strong.

　　Tang Wulin was also relieved when he saw Lin Xuan appear.

　　"Golden Dragon Claw!"

　　Tang Wulin turned around and saw the Flame Demon Lion's huge claws coming towards him. There was no fear on his face, and he went straight to meet it with his right hand's golden dragon claw.

　　"Bang!"

　　The huge body of the Fire Demon Lion flew out and hit the big tree behind it.

　　The situation seemed to be coming to an end.

　　At this time, in the monitoring room outside the Spirit Communication Tower, Wu Zhangkong looked at the performance of the crowd without any joy, but snorted coldly.

　　"There is no vigilance at all."

　　"Teacher Wu, these kids are already pretty good. Even those experienced old soul masters probably couldn't imagine that these flame demon lions would set a trap here."

　　The staff of the Spiritual Pagoda nearby said with a smile. In his opinion, this dance teacher was still too strict.

　　At this time, it can be seen on the monitoring screen that in the forest around Lin Xuan and others, the hidden fire lions are gathering towards the center. Among them, there is a golden-haired lion that is a circle larger than the surrounding fire lions.
