Because Yechen has been busy with cultivation since he was a child, he doesn't have any friends who can speak.

Ma Xiaotao is one, Bei Bei is also one, Xu Sanshi's kind of friendship is not counted.

Don't look at his usual shouting "big nephew", but if Bei Bei really encounters something, he will definitely rush up without hesitation and block in front of him.

Similarly, this is also the reason why Yechen wants to help Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire regardless of the consumption of soul power......

In the Star Dou Great Forest at night, some strange plants emit a brilliant light, forming a gorgeous scene.

And in the darkness beyond the reach of the light, there are endless killing opportunities.

Yechen and Ma Xiaotao sat cross-legged in a small basin, always 100% vigilant.

At such times, no one knows which direction the danger will come from, so it is unwise to search at night.

With the strength of the two of them, it is barely a problem to spend the night in a location that is not very deep in the middle area, but they can only wait for dawn to start searching.

If it is replaced by Yechen himself, I am afraid that he can only retreat to the periphery and go back deep after dawn.

Yechen sprinkled some medicinal powder around the two of them to repel poisonous insects, took out the barbecue meat and water in the ring, and handed it to Ma Xiaotao.

Because of the influence of Xuan Lao, no matter what kind of trip you have, even if you don't bring anything else, you must bring enough food.

Although the barbecue is already cold, it can at least fill the gap in the stomach.

Ma Xiaotao was not polite to him, took the barbecue and took a bite of it, turned his head and said to him: "Xiaochen, I think you should stay away from Xuan Lao, don't be spoiled by him!" ”

She thought that there were only two people here, herself and Yechen, and she had no scruples about talking.

Yechen's heart was like a mirror, and he didn't break it, and secretly laughed.

On a towering tree not far from the two of them, an earthy yellow figure was lazily leaning among the dense branches and leaves.

This person is the old man who came to protect Yechen, and after listening to Ma Xiaotao's words with black lines on his face, he felt that the chicken legs in his hands were gone.

"What do you mean to stay away from me, follow me and learn badly?" Xuan Lao muttered in a low voice, picked up the wine jug in his hand, and poured it into his mouth violently.

......

"By the way, Xiaochen, it's been three months since school started, are there any girls pursuing you?" Ma Xiaotao finished eating the barbecue, smiled and said.

The whole person's face was full of "gossip" expressions.

"No, don't think about me all the time, let's hurry up and think about my life's events, if you don't worry, you will become an old woman and no one wants it!" Yechen swallowed the contents of his mouth, looking concerned, but said with disdain.

"Say it again, you kid!" Ma Xiaotao became popular in an instant, and a boneless little hand with a phoenix flame attached to it instantly touched the soft flesh on Yechen's waist and twisted it down fiercely.

"Sister Peach, I was wrong, don't say it!" Yechen grinned in pain and made a very pompous expression.

Under his repeated begging for mercy, Ma Xiaotao stopped what he was doing.

The last thing she can tolerate is that others say she is old.

Ma Xiaotao will lead the team to participate in the continent's high-level soul master fighting soul competition a year later, and she is not yet nineteen years old, but she has become an old woman in Yechen's mouth.

That's what Yechen said, and if it were someone else, he would have been lying on the ground a long time ago.

Yechen smiled bitterly, in front of this female rascal, he really didn't have any temper.

......

The next day, the figures of the two walked quickly through the jungle.

They seem to have encountered something very strange.

It's been two days, and I haven't found a soul beast with a cultivation of 10,000 years, not to mention, it's rare to see even more than 5,000 years old.

You must know that this is already the middle level of the Star Dou Great Forest, could it be that those soul beasts are hiding in the core area?

"Xiao Chen, how do I feel that the atmosphere here is a little wrong, as if something bad is about to happen."

Ma Xiaotao's brows furrowed, compared to the previous few times he came to the Star Dou Great Forest, there was a weirdness everywhere.

Even Yechen noticed something unusual.

"Let's hurry up and speed up, if we can't find a suitable soul beast before dark today, just exit first, and wait for next time."

Yechen's tone also became a little solemn, although he was unwilling, but it could only be like this.

In such an unknown situation, if you continue to go deeper, the risk will be even greater than usual.

Soul rings can be obtained sooner or later, but they only have one life.

Thinking of this, the speed of the two of them increased a few points, and Yechen's pair of different pupils glowed with a glowing luster, taking in everything around him.

After realizing the strangeness in the forest, they did not dare to let down their vigilance in the slightest......

After encountering several soul beasts around 6,000 years old, Yechen observed them carefully and found a common denominator on them.

As if driven by something, they all ran towards the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest.

It's not fast, but it's moving forward, and it doesn't stop because of the obstacles ahead.

It looks like you've lost your sense of autonomy......

Extremely far away from the location of the two of them, the true core of the Star Dou Great Forest, there was a pale golden lake.

A strange energy emanated from the lake, spreading like ripples to the surrounding area.

In an inconspicuous place on the shore, a black-robed man knelt on the ground, his eyes mixed with unprecedented piety......

Meanwhile.

On the periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest, a small tree that was as level as a person, the golden lines on its leaves exuded a little divine light.

The range that the light can reach is not large, about a small tree as the center, a radius of 100 meters.

This area is only the tip of the iceberg for the endless Star Dou Great Forest.

But in the tip of this iceberg, the two soul beasts attacked each other desperately, and their eyes looked in the direction of the small tree in the center from time to time, and there was a feeling of salivation.

Among them, there is a bird-like soul beast, the feathers of the whole body show the dark red after the blood is coagulated, each one is like a barb-like shape, the proportion of eyes and body, compared to ordinary birds, is much larger, and it always exudes a cold and cold atmosphere.

As for the other one, it was a dark golden bear-like soul beast, and on top of that pair of heavy bear paws, there were ten giant claws tens of meters long, like sharp blades, and there was some scarlet blood on it.

The two soul beasts didn't know how long they had been fighting here, but the bear-like soul beasts finally fell first, and their huge bodies were covered with fine holes.

Even so, its last gaze was still on the small tree not far away, as if full of unwillingness.

The dark red bird-like soul beast let out a long roar, as if releasing the joy of victory.

Dragging his mutilated body, he walked towards his booty.

The scales on one of its wings were at least half gone, and one of them was slammed feebly to the side of its body, almost completely severed, and the last trace of flesh attached to it would not fall off.

It's really close, it's so close that it's about to be touched.

At this moment, an incomparably holy light lit up above the small tree, converging into a huge ball of light a foot in front of it.

The next moment, a figure stumbled out of the ball of light and fell straight to the ground.

"Holy, what's going on?!"

This person's peculiar pair of eyes exuded a shining light, and his eyes were full of consternation.

His worldview, as if in an instant, completely collapsed......
