Chapter 62:Ning Rongrong's Lingering Fear.
"Brother Ye..."
Ning Rongrong's voice trembled slightly.
Ye Xuanming walked up to her and gently pulled her into his arms.
"I'm fine."
He felt Ning Rongrong trembling in his arms, so he gently comforted her.
"They deserve to die."
"If I don't kill them, we'll be the ones who die."
Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously in his arms.
She understood this principle.
She just needs some time to adjust.
Ye Xuanming didn't rush to absorb the soul ring. He sat down cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing, stabilizing his newly recovered soul power and calming his somewhat turbulent emotions after killing someone for the first time.
Ning Rongrong sat quietly beside him, saying nothing, just silently keeping him company.
A moment later, Ye Xuanming opened his eyes, his soul power had recovered a little.
He stood up, walked to the soul bone, and picked it up.
This is a left leg bone, entirely emerald green, with dark red patterns on its surface resembling the Earth Vein Net Flower.
He did not absorb it immediately, but instead put it into his soul tool.
Then he walked to the ten-thousand-year-old soul ring and sat down cross-legged.
Guided by his spiritual power, the soul ring slowly sank and eventually settled on his body.
More than an hour later, night had completely enveloped the Starry Sky Forest.
The ten-thousand-year-old soul ring contracted for the last time, completely merging into Ye Xuanming's body.
The fluctuations of his soul power stabilized, then suddenly surged upwards.
The forty-first level peak.
Ye Xuanming opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
With Ah Yin's recommendation, Ye Xuanming indeed obtained two domain-type soul skills as his fourth soul ring.
They are: the realm of living beings and the barrier of death.
Once activated, the Life Domain can create a vast blue-silver life domain centered on itself.
Within his domain, he will be connected as one through an invisible network of blue silver grass, and any damage he suffers will be shared by the entire domain.
As long as the blue silver grass is not completely destroyed in an instant, they are virtually invincible.
At the same time, he can also guide the vast life energy within the field to heal himself or his teammates at any time.
The Death Barrier has the opposite effect; it can create a death barrier in a designated area.
Enemies trapped in this situation will have their soul power and life force continuously stripped away, and their bodies will feel as if they are sinking into a quagmire, making it difficult for them to move.
Even more terrifying is that Ye Xuanming can detonate this barrier, releasing all the absorbed death energy at once, causing devastating damage to enemies within the area based on their lost health.
"Once in life, once in death, once in defense, once in attack."
Ye Xuanming murmured to himself, a strand of life-giving blue silver grass and a strand of dark blue silver grass appearing alternately at his fingertips, feeling the immense power brought by these two realms.
With these two soul skills in hand, he will have unprecedented confidence in protecting his companions or annihilating powerful enemies.
Ning Rongrong had been waiting nearby. When she saw him finish absorbing the energy, she immediately lifted her skirt and ran over.
"Brother Ye, you did it!"
Her voice still trembled slightly, as if she had survived a disaster.
The scene from the daytime, the sight of the five mercenaries turning to ashes, was still etched in her mind.
"Hmm." Ye Xuanming stood up and stretched his body.
He said to Agin in his mind, "Agin, is there a suitable place nearby to stay overnight?"
"Three hundred meters to the southeast, there is a dry, natural cave that is very well hidden."
Ah Yin's voice came through.
Ye Xuanming took Ning Rongrong's hand; her palm was icy cold.
He squeezed it tightly.
"Let's go find a place to rest."
The two quickly found the cave.
The cave wasn't large, but it was dry enough and provided shelter from the wind.
Ning Rongrong volunteered to take out a fire tumbler and some firewood from her soul tool.
"Brother Ye, you rest first, I'll start the fire, I even know how to grill meat!"
She wanted to find something to do to distract herself.
Ye Xuanming did not refuse. He watched Ning Rongrong clumsily start a fire, then take out the emerald green left leg bone and sit down cross-legged.
The soul of the Earth Vein Net Flower.
He attached the soul bone to his left leg and guided his soul power to begin refining it.
A cool energy surged in from the leg bone, flowing slowly along the meridians.
On Ning Rongrong's side, the fire was finally lit.
The orange-red firelight illuminated her small face and dispelled some of the chill in the cave.
She took out the prepared pieces of meat, skewered them on tree branches, and grilled them over the fire with great flair.
The aroma of meat quickly filled the air.
But she would pause every now and then, clearly thinking about what had happened during the day.
Time passed little by little.
As the skin of the first piece of roasted meat turned golden brown and crispy, the fluctuations of Ye Xuanming's soul power surged once again.
Level 43!
The energy from the soul bone allowed him to break through more than one level, suddenly reaching level 43 from the peak of level 41.
This is the benefit of absorbing soul rings and soul bones at a higher level.
At the same time, Ye Xuanming also acquired a soul skill called "Net Traversal".
Ye Xuanming's left leg gathers soul power, allowing him to instantly move to the side of any enemy enveloped by his own blue silver grass.
Upon appearing, it delivers a powerful soul shock to the target, interrupting their current actions.
This means that as long as Ye Xuanming's domain is large enough, the range of his "Net Shuttle" teleportation will also be infinitely large.
Ye Xuanming opened his eyes, and the only sound in the cave was the crackling of burning firewood.
Ning Rongrong leaned against the mountain wall, a skewer of grilled meat in her hand, and had fallen asleep.
Ye Xuanming walked over, took off his coat, and gently covered her with it.
Ning Rongrong woke up as soon as he got close.
She relaxed when she saw that it was Ye Xuanming.
"Brother Ye..."
"Try the meat I grilled."
She handed over the skewer of slightly cooled grilled meat.
Ye Xuanming took it, took a bite, and found the taste to be surprisingly good.
"tasty."
Ning Rongrong didn't laugh. She put down what she was holding, leaned over, and buried her head in Ye Xuanming's arms.
"Brother Ye, I...I'm a little scared."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ye Xuanming reached out and gently patted her back.
"They wanted to kill us, and they also wanted to… If you weren't here today, I don't even want to think what would have happened." Ning Rongrong's voice was muffled.
Ye Xuanming didn't say anything, he just held her quietly.
After a long while, Ning Rongrong finally lifted her head from his embrace.
She wrapped her arms around Ye Xuanming's neck.
The two were very close and could feel each other's breath.
"Brother Ye, will you protect me for the rest of my life?"
Ye Xuanming did not answer.
He lowered his head.
The warm touch on her lips made Ning Rongrong's body stiffen instantly, then soften again.
She closed her eyes.
This kiss lasted much longer than the goodnight kiss we had at the hotel last time.
After the kiss ended, Ye Xuanming pressed his forehead against hers.
"Can."
