The moment he saw the golden-veined lion, Ye Lan also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the size of this lion, it should be around six thousand years, which is equivalent to the Human Soul Sect.

Although the age is a little higher, the position of the three of them is now close to the junction between the outer and inner circles, and it is common for some soul beasts in the inner circle to cross the border and come here to forage for food.

Not a big problem!

Ye Lan was about to make a move, but Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stopped him.

Looking at Ye Lan's puzzled eyes, Zhu Zhuqing explained: "This lion is on par with me in strength and is a good opponent. ”

Ye Lan was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll sweep the formation for you, be more careful." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Zhuqing replied and killed directly towards the golden-veined lion.

In fact, this golden-veined lion was in the process of foraging, and suddenly smelled the fragrance of Ye Lan and others' roast rabbit, so he ran over following the fragrance.

The golden-veined lion was a little hesitant after seeing Ye Lan and Zhu Zhuqing's soul rings, not knowing whether to retreat or not. As a six-thousand-year-old soul beast, he still has a bit of intelligence, and he knows that humans with five soul rings are not easy to mess with.

When it was entangled, it suddenly saw Zhu Zhu Qing Dynasty killing it, and when he saw this scene, it became popular all of a sudden.

It is simply a shame to think that he is the absolute overlord within a radius of 500 miles, and he is actually attacked by others!

What to go, don't go!

Today, the lion master is going to kill and sacrifice human flesh for teeth!

The soul beast has less than 10,000 years of cultivation, and its IQ is relatively low, and most of the time it relies on instinct and doesn't like to use its brain.

This is the case with today's golden-veined lion, seeing Zhu Zhuqing killing, he was directly angry, and he only thought about maintaining his position as the overlord in his mind, completely forgetting that there was a stronger Ye Lan watching from the side.

After getting close to the golden-veined lion, Zhu Zhuqing did not hesitate to use the first soul technique "Nether Spike".

Zhu Zhuqing's petite body directly collided with the huge golden-veined lion, and the sharp civet claws mercilessly swept under the golden-veined lion's neck, leaving several deep scars.

Under the stimulation of severe pain, the golden lion's eyes were fierce, and with a roar, the golden light gushed out from his whole body, directly forming a shield and wrapping himself inside.

Zhu Zhuqing's second soul technique, "Netherworld Hundred Claws", followed closely and directly hit the light mask.

Boom –

A loud roar rang out.

"Humph!"

Zhu Zhuqing snorted, and flew out directly.

This shield of the golden-veined lion had a rebound effect, and Zhu Zhuqing was directly knocked away by his second soul technique.

"Takekiyo!" Ye Lan shouted anxiously!

Zhu Zhuqing wiped the blood from his mouth, and killed the golden-veined lion again, while saying, "I'm fine, I'll try again!" ”

When the golden-veined lion saw Zhu Zhuqing killing again, he roared angrily, and his body actually grew a little bigger. It kicked its hind legs, and its huge body was like a cannonball, crashing straight towards Zhu Zhuqing.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes froze, and he immediately urged his soul power to launch the fourth soul technique.

"Nether clone!"

A ghostly light flashed between them, and Zhu Zhuqing split into two figures, passing directly from both sides of the golden-veined lion, dodging the golden-veined lion's attack.

Then the two figures split into two again, and the four figures moved quickly around the golden-veined lion, looking for an opportunity to attack.

After fighting several times again, Zhu Zhuqing frowned, the opponent's light mask was really in the way, and the defense and anti-injury effects were too disgusting.

Ding Ding Ding Ding –

After another attack, Zhu Zhuqing finally found a clue. Every time that light shield resisted his own attack, the light dimmed a little, and there was a limit to it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing also had an idea.

"Third Soul Skill, Nether Slash!"

I saw that three of Zhu Zhuqing's figures on the field suddenly jumped up, and then a huge sword shadow appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and then slashed towards the golden-veined lion.

Bang –

After the light mask collided with the three slashes, it exploded directly, and the aftermath of the Nether Slash directly blasted the golden-veined lion away, but at the same time, affected by the anti-damage effect, the three clones also disappeared directly.

After the Nether Shadow Clone is cast, Zhu Zhuqing's body can switch between all clones at will, and as long as there is one clone, Zhu Zhuqing's body will not be injured.

This is also the reason why Zhu Zhuqing only controls three figures to attack.

She expected that the shattering of the light mask might be extremely destructive, and if the four figures were on it together, it would be a big loss to really shock herself to death.

If the light mask is successfully broken, then the three doppelgangers will die if they die, and the main body will be fine anyway. If it is not broken, under the explosion of his full strength, he will be crumbling when he thinks about it, and then he will make up for it.

As a result, Zhu Zhuqing's strategy was very successful. The light mask was successfully shattered, and even the golden-veined lion himself was partially counterattacked and suffered a lot of injuries.

The golden-veined lion glanced at Zhu Zhuqing with fear, then whimpered twice, turned his head and ran away. At this time, it was woken up, and this person beat himself like this, and there was a stronger human next to him, why don't you run quickly, waiting to be killed and eaten?

Zhu Zhuqing was about to catch up, but was stopped by Ye Lan.

"Zhuqing, forget it, don't chase it."

"Anyway, we don't need to kill it to take the ring, there is no need to chase after it. In case it catches up with the territory of other powerful soul beasts, it will be troublesome. ”

Hearing Ye Lan's explanation, Zhu Zhuqing nodded understandingly, directly put away the martial spirit, and returned to Ye Lan and the others.

"Senior sister, you are too powerful! I'm going to be as strong as you in the future! Lu Xiaoran said with admiration on his face.

Zhu Zhuqing pinched Lu Xiaoran's tender little face, and said with a smile: "Then Xiao Ran has to work hard to cultivate, one day you will be so powerful." ”

"Zhuqing, you have made progress again, amazing!" Ye Lan gave Zhu Zhuqing a thumbs up and praised without hesitation.

Zhu Zhuqing shook his head and chuckled: "Compared with you, it's still far behind." ”

"Don't be so anxious to deny yourself, progress is a good thing." Ye Lan comforted, then took out a bottle of healing pills and put it in Zhu Zhuqing's hand.

"I see that you were injured a lot just now, you take this back to the tent to heal, and I will protect the Dharma for you."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, took the pill, and returned to the tent.

This time, she didn't say thank you. With the current relationship between the two, it would be too rusty to say thank you. This was also requested by Ye Lan, he didn't want to see Zhu Zhuqing say thank you to him.

At noon the next day, Zhu Zhuqing's injuries fully recovered, but for the sake of insurance, Ye Lan did not leave in a hurry, but rested in place again for one night, and after repeatedly confirming that Zhu Zhuqing was fine, he continued to embark on the journey with confidence.

After seven days of trekking, Ye Lan and his party finally arrived at the desert area of the Western Wilderness Plain, and according to the instructions of the map, they only needed to pass through a swamp to reach the legendary Death Desert.

"This desert is the habitat of ironclad rhinoceros, so you must be careful." Ye Lan admonished.

The ironclad rhinoceros is a soul beast with a very strong sense of territory, and it has five thousand years of cultivation as soon as it becomes an adult. Although an ordinary ironclad rhinoceros has nothing to be afraid of, they are social soul beasts, often dozens of them at a time, and there are hundreds of large ironclad rhinoceros groups.

Dozens or hundreds of ironclad rhinoceros launched a charge, and even the Soul Emperor had to temporarily avoid the edge. Not to mention that this kind of soul beast talent is not bad, it is normal to have a 10,000-year-old soul beast in the group, and the danger is actually even greater!

It is worth mentioning that ironclad rhinoceros does not have any soul skills, but their physical attacks and physical defenses are extremely perverted, and a newly grown ironclad rhinoceros has a defensive power comparable to that of an ordinary soul beast of eight or nine thousand years, which is not not powerful.

With the strength of Ye Lan's three people, they can still fight when they encounter a few iron-armored rhinoceros, and if they encounter dozens of iron-armored rhinoceros, they have to run away if they encounter dozens of iron-armored rhinoceros led by the 10,000-year-old soul beast, then they have to perform the martial soul fusion technique with Zhu Zhuqing before they can run away.

Fortunately, Ye Lan had carefully studied the iron-armored rhinoceros before, and was particularly familiar with the habits of the iron-armored rhinoceros, he took the two girls to bend around, grabbed a handful of soil from time to time and smelled it, and avoided several groups of iron-armored rhinoceros in a few days.

After a few days of traveling, it would have been possible to cross this desert in two more days, but things were always unsatisfactory, and the sky had been clear all the time, and it suddenly rained heavily, and it was two days and two nights.

In the middle of the night, the rain continued to fall, and howling winds and thunder and lightning raged through the world. Ye Lan lay comfortably in the big tent, and Zhu Zhuqing snuggled in Ye Lan's arms, enjoying the rare warmth.

If there is no little girl who spoils the scenery, the atmosphere will be even more charming.

There's no way, Lu Xiaoran, this girl, is actually afraid of thunder, and now she is trembling with one of Ye Lan's arms.

Fortunately, the three of them were lucky, and they didn't wait for the ironclad rhinoceros after staying for two days and two nights, and there was not even a ghost shadow nearby.

Gradually, the thick dark clouds of terror quickly dissipated, and the downpour turned into a light rain in the blink of an eye, and then stopped completely, and the sky was now clouded and bright.

Early in the morning of the third day, the sky had cleared, and Ye Lan was worried that he would encounter a herd of ironclad rhinoceros going out to feed, so he hurriedly packed up his things and continued to advance towards the Death Desert with the two women.

The three of them walked in the desert for two days, and they got out of the territory of the ironclad rhinoceros without danger, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the scene in front of them made their hearts rise again.

It was an endless swamp that seemed to be shrouded in a pale black mist, and many places were gurgling and bubbling.

Ye Lan took out the map and carefully compared it, in this dangerous area, a place where one is not careful may die without a burial. All three of them had a wooden staff in their hands, carefully testing the hardness of the ground, so the speed was very slow.

"Everyone, keep up, be careful." Ye Lan instructed while exploring the road ahead, according to the route marked on the map, it should be correct, but at this speed, it would not take ten days and a half months to cross this dangerous area, this is still the most optimistic estimate.

"Hey, Master, what is that?" Lu Xiaoran pointed not far ahead and shouted in surprise.
