The late autumn nights are quiet and slightly cold, mixed with the smell of early winter. In the quiet and warm cabin, Qin Tao lay on the bed and muttered angrily: "Wencheng, this old man, has actually concluded a 'soul contract' with me......

Zhou Ling's figure appeared next to the bed, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Tao'er, don't blame him, it's not to make you keep your promise." Besides, it doesn't hurt to have a contract. ”

"Grandpa Bing, do you know this soul contract?" Qin Tao turned over and asked.

"I know a little bit, it is said to be a secret art of the barbarian territory. The contract is divided into a master-slave relationship, and once the subordinate disobeys the master, he will suffer the fate of exploding and dying. ”

"If I don't keep my promise, I'm going to explode and die?"

"That's right. Zhou Ling smiled faintly.

"Then you still say it doesn't hurt......"

"From this point of view, there is no benefit, but this soul contract is an insinuation of the master's strength, and the master has the right to transfer the soul energy. In other words, if you fulfill your promise, Wen Cheng can pass on all his soul power to you. ”

"And such things are worthy of secret arts. ”

"So it's not a bad thing. Tao'er, now that there is news of the Divine Tree, you must be prepared for this. ”

"Well, Grandpa Bing, I understand. ”

......

The next day, the young men of the clan left the village at the behest of the patriarch to find the possible location of the sacred tree.

According to Wencheng, there is a plant called "Dream Grass" growing in the area where the sacred tree appears, which creates fog and hallucinations.

However, the Dream Grass has a special surname, that is, a plant that specializes in restraining the fog will grow around it, called the Seven Colored Orchid.

The seven-colored orchid is naturally fragrant, and the leaves are seven colors in the sun, which is very easy to identify. However, the East Needle Forest is vast and boundless, and it is very difficult to find the seven-colored orchid in a carpet manner, but the Mamba people have a shortcut.

Colored vipers, born to feed on seven-colored orchids, are extremely sensitive to where the plant grows. And the Mamba people, who are good at making poison and making poison, will keep this rare poison in their homes.

Wen Cheng's intention is to find the seven-colored orchid through the colored poisonous snake, as long as the seven-colored orchid is found, then there must be a dream grass nearby. In this way, the location of the sacred tree will be reduced, and the number of surnames that can be found will also increase.

The appearance of the Divine Tree is roughly in the spring of next year, and now it has just entered the early winter, and there are nearly three months to go, which is just the right time for Qin Tao to take the opportunity to practice.

As for the Sword Cloud Sect, there has been no movement. Zhou Ling analyzed that firstly, they had received the news of the Divine Tree and were preparing, and secondly, they thought that the Ice Emperor was still alive and did not dare to start. But in any case, this gave Qin Tao time to prepare.

The next day, the sun was shining and the weather was good, Qin Tao took some dry food and left the village alone, heading towards the depths of the forest.

The news of the Divine Tree spread throughout the Continent of Life, and the four empires and various sects were all fascinated. Masters entered the East Needle Forest one after another, only to prepare for the sacred tree in spring.

Qin Tao held his breath and walked through the mountains and forests, this was Professor Zhou Ling's method, firstly, he could avoid cultivators with high strength, and secondly, he could also exercise his physique.

Pushing aside a huge leaf, Qin Tao found a plant with six fan-shaped leaves at his feet, different from other ordinary plants, the green leaves glowed with crystal streamers under the glow of the forest glow.

"Six-leaf soul solidifying grass can restore a lot of soul energy, and has the effect of concentrating and regulating breathing. Zhou Ling's voice slowly sounded in Qin Tao's ears.

The corners of Qin Tao's mouth curled, his face was full of excitement, and he said with joy in his heart: "This six-leaf soul solid grass may also improve my strength." ”

And just as he was about to pick the six-leaf soul solid grass, a low roar sounded in his ears, which immediately startled Qin Tao.

Following the prestige, I saw a purple leopard squatting on a branch overhead, and a pair of brown eyes glowing with cold light were staring coldly downward.

"The clawed purple leopard, named after its sharp claws, is a very ordinary soul beast. Zhou Ling's voice came out again.

Qin Tao was a little excited, this was the first time he had encountered a soul beast since he woke up. I had long heard that the Beast Pill of the Soul Beast was something that was very beneficial to cultivation, but I didn't expect to really encounter it today.

However, soul beasts are naturally hostile to humans, and the Clawed Purple Panther is naturally no exception. I saw it swoop forward, and its two sharp front claws flashed with cold light, grabbing Qin Tao fiercely.

The strong wind was blowing, Qin Tao's heart was slightly cold, but his reaction was not slow, and he dodged the purple leopard's claws.

Falling into the air, the purple leopard kicked its front paws violently, opened its big mouth and bit it without hesitation.

The purple leopard was so fast that it was close to his throat in an instant, and Qin Tao, who didn't have time to react, could only subconsciously raise his right hand. But this lift saved him, and a ball of flame erupted from the palm of his hand, hitting the purple leopard's head.

The purple leopard whined miserably, turned around and jumped back in an instant, and landed in the distance in a hurry.

Squatting in the distance, the purple leopard snorted rough air in its nose and kept growling in its mouth. Qin Tao couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart when he took a closer look, the mane on the purple leopard's head had been burned out and turned black, and most of the beards on both sides of his nose had been burned off, looking extremely embarrassed.

The somewhat annoyed purple leopard kicked its hind paws and pounced again, and Qin Tao immediately released flames to resist when he saw this. With the previous lesson, the purple leopard had become cautious, and wherever the flames touched, it bypassed it instantly, and only used its speed to maneuver with Qin Tao.

The thick leopard's tail swept over, and Qin Tao reached out with his flame left hand to meet it. I thought that the flames could burn the leopard's tail, but unexpectedly, the tail suddenly stopped in the air, and the figure flashed behind Qin Tao.

With a "whoosh", the sharp front paws slashed fiercely at Qin Tao's back, and the speed was as fast as lightning.

There was a chill on his back spine, Qin Tao felt the coldness of his claws, and his body leaned forward as if he were dodging. But the speed of the purple leopard was too fast after all, and its claws still made three long openings on its back.

The wound was blood-red, Qin Tao lay on the ground and gritted his teeth to endure the severe pain, and said secretly in his heart: "It's good to hide quickly, otherwise you have to die, damn leopard." ”

Seeing Qin Tao fall, the purple leopard did not continue to attack, but squatted in place and stared quietly. Qin Tao buried his face in the grass, thinking in his heart how to destroy this barbaric soul beast.

Suddenly, his gaze focused on the six-leaf soul solid grass beside him, and his mind flashed with an idea.

Standing up slowly, Qin Tao stretched out his right hand and pulled out the Six-Leaf Soul Solid Grass fiercely, and then shook it mockingly at the purple leopard.

Seeing this, the purple leopard roared, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he pounced without hesitation.

The corners of Qin Tao's mouth raised, and he dropped the Soul Solid Grass and wrapped his hands with flames. Immediately, his fists were put together and he slashed at the purple leopard's head.

Suddenly, a red fire dragon appeared in Qin Tao's mind, its red wings fluttered powerfully, and the wide open dragon mouth spewed out a huge flame towards the void in front of him.

At the same time, a trace of fire appeared in Qin Tao's eyes, and the glimpse of the fire dragon's breath faintly appeared in his eyes.

With a clear roar, a crimson fire blade erupted from his fists, like a wisp of long rainbow slashing fiercely at the purple leopard.

The extremely aggressive aura burst out with a powerful soul pressure, causing the purple leopard's mane to stand up, and its body became a little stiff as if it had been eroded by the cold air.

Just when the purple leopard hesitated, the red fire blade fiercely nailed into the leopard's head, and with its fierce strength, it suddenly split the purple leopard into two.

In an instant, the cracked leopard was reduced to ashes under the scorching flames. Until the last moment, there was still a trace of suspicion in the eyes of the purple leopard, and he couldn't believe that he would die here.

Qin Tao picked up the beast pill that fell in the black ash and looked at it carefully, the black beads were round and crystalline, and the surface was covered with a shallow layer of white.

The Beast Pill is naturally a great help to improve the strength, but the Beast Pill of the Sharp-clawed Purple Leopard has the greatest effect on the soul qi of the Wind surname, so it is dispensable for Qin Tao, who is surnamed Fire.

However, the beast pill could be sold in the trading market, so Qin Tao put the black bead into the soul ring, thinking about selling it when he went to the town.

Trying to straighten up, Qin Tao couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart, if he had a little slackening in his reaction just now, I was afraid that he would be buried under the claws of the purple leopard.

Putting the Six-Leaf Solid Soul Grass into the Soul Ring, Qin Tao was ready to move on. However, at this moment, three strangers suddenly sprang out from behind the big trees on both sides.

Qin Tao looked at the three of them, and saw that the leader was a tall and white young man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in a white robe, with a golden hairpin embedded in his long black hair, and the whole person faintly exuded a luxurious atmosphere.

The two people behind him were burly and emaciated, the burly man had thick eyebrows and square face, and his muscles were bulging, and he looked like a Hong Zhong. The emaciated man was born with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, and his expression revealed a hint of flattery, and at first glance he was the kind of person who was good at flattery.

With his eyes fixed on the young man in charge, Qin Tao vigilantly put his right hand behind his back, and his body unconsciously took two steps back.

The white young man looked at Qin Tao, and his eyes suddenly showed a trace of contempt, and he immediately spoke: "Boy, hand over the beast pill you just picked up!"

Qin Tao didn't say anything, just stood quietly in place, but there was already a little spark in the palm of his right hand.

Seeing that Qin Tao was silent, the young man was a little impatient, and shouted arrogantly: "Boy, are you deaf? Let me tell you, I have been staring at that leopard for a few days, but I didn't expect you to pick up a bargain." If you know each other, hurry up and hand over the beast pill, and I may let you go!"

The young man's grinning smug appearance made Qin Tao feel disgusted, the clawed purple leopard was killed by himself, how could he let a strange scoundrel reverse black and white.

A touch of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and Qin Tao immediately shouted coldly: "If you want the beast pill, you can rely on your ability to get it!"

He could see that this young man's level was on par with Ding Zuo, but from the white palms, he could see that the boy in front of him definitely did not have the power of Ding Zuo.

"Hey, what a big talker, even your little soul can dare to talk to me like that. Okay, uncle, I'll let you know what it means to be immeasurable!"

The burly and reckless man behind him suddenly stepped forward and called out in a low voice: "Childe......" But before he could say this, the young man had already rushed out.
