Chapter 11: The Shade of the Trees

Three years later...

In July, the weather in Notting City is a bit hot.

In the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, most of the students have already taken a vacation.

In a small garden in the academy, boys and girls sit side by side on benches.

"Woooooooo I'm clear... Obviously I've worked hard. The girl's back shook slightly.

The boy was silent.

The boy and girl are none other than Lin Jing and Lin Yin.

In the past six years, Lin Yin has cultivated his soul power to the eighteenth level.

Although there is the credit of the soul bone provided by Lin Jing, you must know... Lin Yin's innate soul power is only one level.

'Alas... 'Lin Jing felt very sympathetic to Lin Yin, and at the same time felt a little ashamed.

Well! Only a little.

Okay, Lin Jing admits that he has been fishing in cultivation a lot in the past few years, but he has a lot of soul bones.

Although Lin Jing is often in a daze during meditation, he has a lot of soul bones.

He has a lot of soul bones~

...

"Woooooooo

"Uncle, after you go to Shrek, remember to go to Soto City to see me!" The girl looked up and looked at the boy with teary eyes.

After Lin Yin learned that Lin Jing's real age before crossing was 28 years old, he happily gave Lin Jing the nickname "uncle".

"Soto City?" Lin Jing was puzzled.

"There is also an intermediate soul master academy in Soto City, I'll go there." Lin Yin wiped his tears and said.

Soto City is the city where Shrek Academy is located.

"Isn't it good to go to Shrek together?" Lin Jing smiled and met the girl's eyes.

"You don't know that Shrek only accepts souls above the twenty-first level... You, you, you, you! The girl was just halfway through her sentence when she saw the boy take out something out of thin air, and her eyes widened.

In Lin Jing's hand, there was a black soul bone composed of twisted vines.

"How many soul bones do you have?" Lin Yin stared wide-eyed, as if he had reacquainted himself with his fellow countryman. "You don't have any system, do you?" Lin Yin felt that the possibility was very high.

"Nope."

"Then where did you get your soul bones?"

"Or do you guess?"

"Now find a place to absorb the soul bones, and tomorrow I will take you to get the second soul ring." The boy's tone was somewhat similar to that of three years ago, but it seemed more gentle.

......

Lin Jing took Lin Yin to an inn in the city.

In the room, Lin Jing looked at the familiar scene in front of him.

"Tsk~"

Lin Yin sat cross-legged on the bed and attached a black vine-shaped soul bone to the inside of his left leg.

It's a bit prickly.

The soul power flowed, and a touch of white appeared.

The black soul bone slowly sank into his thigh, and Lin Yin still couldn't help but snort softly.

"It hurts..."

...

"Hmm~~~" After a while, the soul bone completely integrated into the thigh. Lin Yin let out a groan, and then as if thinking of something, a touch of crimson quickly crept up her cheek.

"Finished?" Seeing this, Lin Jing asked.

"..."Lin Yin didn't know how to answer. Perverted! ”

Lin Jing: "??? ”

"Hmph~" Lin Yinjiao snorted.

Feeling that the soul power in her body had broken through to level 20, the girl was very happy.

......

Early the next morning, the entrance to the Soul Hunting Forest.

"Now." Lin Jing handed a golden fruit to Lin Yin.

"Hee-hee~" the girl let out a sweet laugh.

Showing the token to the guards, Lin Jing walked into the forest with Lin Yin.

The shading branches of the big trees blocked most of the sunlight, and Lin Jing and Lin Yin summoned martial spirits and walked on the quiet path in the forest.

If you ignore the occasional roar of beasts in the dense forest, this scene can be regarded as beautiful.

"Do you have any goals?" Lin Jing asked.

"Well, it's better to be in control... How about ice crystal clusters? Lin Yin thought carefully, analyzed carefully, and came to a conclusion.

"Alas..."Lin Jing held his forehead with one hand and said angrily. Do you think there will be clusters of ice crystals in this place? ”

"Didn't you?"

"The province of Fasno is in the south..."

"Hmm.... All right... There seems to be a very powerful plant called the horn ice grass? ”

"Octagonal Xuanbing Grass, I remember that it seems to be in the center of the Sunset Great Forest, and I want to get it myself, and I support you spiritually."

"Ahh Uncle, can you help me pick one~" Lin Yin said to give up struggling.

"Hmm... Let me think. The Devil-Faced Demon Tree has a psychic attack but is very rare, and it may not be found in this forest. In the case of the Oni Vine, your soul bone will come from the Oni Vine, but you can also go through the control system if you want to. Lin Jing thought seriously.

The wind flows...

In the nearby bushes, five pairs of scarlet eyes stared straight at them, full of greed.

Woohoo – x5

It's five green wolves.

...

"It's only a hundred years at most, I'll leave it to you." Lin Jing saw that he was not interested, so he decided to let Lin Yin make a move.

Among the five soul beasts, only the leading one was worthy of a hundred years of cultivation, and the rest were just a few tabula rasa soul beasts that had been around for decades.

"Huh? Yes? ... Me? Lin Yin hadn't fought a soul beast in a serious way so far, and she seemed a little flustered.

"It's up to you to decide, Pikayin~"

"Ahhhh Lin Yin looked at the five fierce wolves, and immediately released the soul technique, the breath of tranquility.

Woohoo – x5

Feeling the strange aura, the five evil wolves stared at Lin Jing as if they couldn't see the shade of the forest.

"Alas.... Girl, you can't do this. Lin Jing looked at this scene and said speechlessly. Sooner or later, you'll have to go head-to-head with the soul beasts. ”

"Huh-" Lin Yin heard Lin Jing's words and felt that there was some truth.

So she took a few deep breaths and then let go of the silence.

Woo? x5

The five evil wolves tilted their heads, unable to understand Lin Yin's soul technique, and only felt that an enemy had been added out of thin air.

"First Soul Skill, Flame Pollen."

"Soul Bone Technique, Winding."

Lin Yin became serious and released her first soul skill and the left leg soul bone technique she had just absorbed one after another.

I saw that the crimson powder enveloped the wolves, and the wolves suddenly fell into a panic.

Woohoo –

The head wolf howled, and the remaining four green wolves quickly calmed down.

Led by the head wolf, five vicious wolves rushed towards the shade of the forest with a rolling fishy wind.

But before the wolves could get closer, the orange-red flames engulfed the five wolves.

At the same time, among the thick fallen leaves on the ground, several dark green rhizomes suddenly appeared, wrapping around the slightly larger head wolf with slightly protruding eyebrows.

In the firelight, the wolf howled constantly.

At this moment, a green wolf with a body full of flames stumbled to the shade of the tree.

"Help, help, help," Lin Yin shouted in a panic.

A white light flashed.

The first soul skill - White Bone Claw.

Five huge wounds appeared on the wolf's neck, almost cutting off the wolf's head. The red blood that sprayed from the wound evaporated into a cloud of blood mist under the action of the flames.

I saw Lin Jing's figure tossing and turning in the wolves, and a white light flashed on his hands from time to time.

After a while, five charred wolf corpses rose with five soul rings, one yellow, four white.

Lin Jing patted the dust on his body, looked at the frightened Lin Yin and quipped: "The performance is okay, at least the soul skill is very loud." ”

"Whew... "Lin Yin patted his chest and ignored Lin Jing.

"Scared the hell out of me." Lin Yin still has some palpitations.

"That's your dish..."

"My food, shouldn't you protect me?"

"Am I not protected?"

"Uh... There are..."

...

About thirty minutes later, the two passed by a large pit.

"It's !!" Lin Yin looked at the standard square pit in front of him, and showed a surprised expression.

‘... How did you get here? Lin Jing was a little embarrassed in his heart, and his eyes secretly glanced at his right leg.

Lin Yin walked to the big pit and looked down.

"Wow, there's still spikes down there!" Lin Yin saw the wooden spears exposed at the bottom of the pit, and several of them also had the corpses of several small soul beasts stuck in them.

'That's to disguise this pit as a hunting trap...,' Lin Jing added inwardly.

Lin Jing had already filled in all the four big pits dug outside Notting City, but the two big pits in the Soul Hunting Forest could not be filled in time due to the interference of the law enforcement team and soul beasts, so he had to disguise the big pits as traps.

As for further afield... Don't talk about it.

'It turns out that Sister Xiao Wu accidentally fell into this kind of trap, the person who dug the pit is really too much. Lin Yin remembered Xiao Wu's original words at this time.

"Let's go, just a common trap." Lin Jing said to Lin Yin.

"Hmm."

......

Another fifteen minutes later.

Behind a bush, Lin Jing and Lin Yin were watching the two soul beasts fighting in front of them.

"Aren't these two soul beasts of the same species, how can they fight." Shade of the Grove is like a curious baby.

"Well, male steelhorn red deer generally only fight each other for the right to mate with females during the breeding season. Now they're fighting because of that! Lin Jing recognized this soul beast and pointed to a pink-gray mushroom more than ten meters behind the two soul beasts.

"What's that?" Lin Yin blinked.

"Bewitching Mushroom, a plant-based soul beast whose spores produce an aura that causes other soul beasts to fall into a state of chaos. Look at this cultivation for more than 500 years. Lin Jing introduced this soul beast and then said. Your second soul ring is it. ”

"Hmm... Dusty, with a little pink, okay~" Lin Yin looked at the appearance of the bewildered mushroom, and felt that although it was not good-looking, it was much better than the strange appearance of the Flame Overlord Flower.

Lin Jing heard what the girl meant by "line", and glanced at the boulevard.

"Heh~ woman."

...
