Chapter 50: This scorpion is just the right amount of practice material for my shooting!
The girl then came to her senses. She looked at the corpses of the soul beasts scattered all over the ground, and then at the unfamiliar boy in front of her, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"I...I'm alright, thank you for saving me."
"It was nothing," Ye Xuanming said calmly. "Why are you here alone?"
"My name is Shui Bing'er. I'm here with my teacher to hunt for soul rings."
Shui Bing'er's voice was very clear and crisp.
"But when we were hunting souls, we encountered a beast tide and got separated from our teacher."
She looked at Ye Xuanming, who casually killed a group of hundred-year-old soul beasts, her eyes filled with shock and admiration.
Although the boy in front of him looked taller than him, he still had a youthful appearance and looked about the same age as him.
(Here, because Ye Xuanming's soul power has increased and his martial soul has evolved, his body has developed again. Although he is not very old, his physique has changed a lot.)
"Hello, my name is Ye Xuanming."
"roar!"
Just then, a deafening scream came from the depths of the forest, and a powerful aura pressed down.
Shui Bing'er's heart, which had just been at ease, instantly jumped into her throat as the ground in front of her began to shake violently.
The rustling sound grew louder as a massive soul beast emerged from the dense forest.
Its entire body was a strange dark green, with eight legs supporting its huge carapace body, and two giant turtles gleaming.
What's most chilling is the tail hook that sticks up high behind it; the purplish-black hook tip gleams eerily in the sunlight, clearly indicating that it contains deadly poison.
Having just escaped the wolf's den, they entered the tiger's lair.
Shui Bing'er's face instantly lost all color, and she subconsciously tried to grab the boy beside her and run away together.
But when she turned her head, she saw that Ye Xuanming not only showed no fear, but was also looking at the giant scorpion with great interest.
The way he looked at it didn't seem like he was looking at a deadly soul beast, but rather like he was looking at a handy prey.
Has he gone mad?
Shui Bing'er's heart was stirred. The oppressive feeling emanating from this soul beast far surpassed that of the thousand-year-old clawed wolf.
Just then, a voice that had been silent for several days finally resounded in Ye Xuanming's heart.
"Xuanming, this is a dark green Ghost King Scorpion. Judging from the color of its carapace and its size, it is about 5,700 years old."
Although Ah Yin's voice was still somewhat low, it had regained its former clarity.
"Its tail hook and pincers are highly venomous, and the toxins can paralyze nerves, making it very difficult to entangle. You must be careful."
Ye Xuanming was overjoyed; Ah Yin was finally willing to speak.
"Thank you, Sister Yin."
Ah Yin gave a soft "hmm" and then fell silent again, but Ye Xuanming could sense that her consciousness was closely watching the outside world.
Ye Xuanming turned to the side and said to Shui Bing'er, who was still somewhat dazed behind him:
"Step back a bit and find a place to hide."
Shui Bing'er opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but when she saw Ye Xuanming's calm and confident profile, she swallowed back all her words of advice.
She nodded as if possessed, stepped back, and hid behind a huge ancient tree, peeking out only half her head to secretly observe.
The dark green scorpion demon king clearly didn't take this tiny human seriously.
It let out a threatening hiss, its eight legs moving in unison, its massive body charging forward at a speed disproportionate to its size. Its purplish-black tail hook drew a deadly arc in the air, aiming straight for Ye Xuanming's heart.
Ye Xuanming advanced instead of retreating.
He lightly touched the ground with his toes, sliding several meters to the side, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.
At the same time he moved, the Life Blue Silver Grass and the Dark Blue Silver Grass appeared simultaneously, and the next moment, three soul rings suddenly rose from under his feet.
Purple, purple, black!
The moment the third black soul ring appeared, Shui Bing'er, who was hiding behind the tree, went completely blank.
What is that?
A purple first soul ring?
The first ring in a millennium?
A black third soul ring?
The third ring of ten thousand years?
A Soul Master possesses the first Soul Ring of a thousand years and the third Soul Ring of ten thousand years.
This completely overturned all her understanding of the past ten years and overturned the ironclad laws of the Soul Master world.
She even wondered if she was hallucinating due to excessive fear.
In the center of the battlefield, Ye Xuanming was already locked in combat with the dark green ghost king, Scorpion.
Instead of summoning the Overlord Spear, he used the two evolved Blue Silver Grass martial souls to their fullest potential.
Dozens of blue-gold life-silver grass vines burst forth from the ground, like agile giant pythons. Some coiled around the eight legs of the dark green Ghost King Scorpion, restricting its movement, while others wove into several layers of tough blue-silver grass nets, blocking its way.
The Dark Green Ghost King Scorpion's two claws opened and closed violently, but only damaged the outer Blue Silver Grass, unable to cut it off at all. At the same time, more Blue Silver Grass surged in from all directions, layer upon layer, making it extremely annoyed.
"hiss!"
Enraged, the scorpion abandoned its straight thrust and instead lashed downwards, unleashing a torrent of purplish-black venom like a rain of arrows.
Ye Xuanming retreated rapidly, simultaneously manipulating the Blue Silver Grass Net to defend himself layer by layer.
The venom splattered onto the Blue Silver Grass net, producing a hissing, corrosive sound. The resilient Blue Silver Grass withered and turned black at a visible speed.
Just as Ye Xuanming was dealing with the venom, the dark green Ghost King Scorpion seized the opportunity.
One of its giant turtles broke free of its restraints and swept across, and Ye Xuanming immediately activated the Dark Blue Silver Grass.
Several purple-gold vines coalesced into a sharp spike, precisely positioned at the joint line connecting the giant turtle.
"Clang!"
A clanging sound of metal rang out, but the spike failed to penetrate completely.
Ye Xuanming used the recoil from the collision to drift backward, but the dark green Ghost King Scorpion's tail, like a ghost, circled around from an unbelievable angle and lightly grazed his arm with its hook tip.
A tiny wound appeared and instantly turned purplish-black.
A sharp, stinging pain and numbness quickly spread from my arm throughout my body.
Ye Xuanming's body stiffened, and his movements faltered for a moment.
The dark green scorpion seized the opportunity, and another giant tuna, with a whooshing sound, slammed into his head.
Hiding in the shadows, Shui Bing'er let out a startled cry, her heart clenching.
At this critical moment, the black ten-thousand-year soul ring on Ye Xuanming's body suddenly lit up.
"Third Soul Skill, Life's Praise."
An extremely soft green aura burst forth from his body.
Wherever the light passed, the purplish-black wound on his arm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The toxins that had invaded his body seemed to have met their nemesis and were instantly purified. The numbness in his body also disappeared.
Ye Xuanming resumed his movements, exerted force with his feet, leaned back, and slid along the ground out of the giant turtle's attack range.
Shui Bing'er was stunned once again.
That was the deadly poison of a five-thousand-year-old dark green scorpion, yet it was neutralized instantly?
Moreover, it wasn't an offensive or defensive soul skill, but a healing soul skill.
