The sky was gray and snowy, and it was extremely cold in the Star Forest.
Zhao Xuan reopened vision sharing, and the consciousness chain was connected to the minds of the two.
"Fat man, go get some dry firewood." Zhao Xuan glanced at the two girls and ordered.
"Hello!"
Ma Hongjun stood up neatly, sharing Zhao Xuan's vision. He was not worried about any soul beasts coming to attack, and he would have to rely on Zhao Xuan to hunt the soul rings later. How could he not please him now?
With a shared vision, Ma Hongjun didn't even have to search for it. He went straight to the dry firewood he found in his field of vision. After a while, he came back with a lot of dry firewood and quickly set up a fire.
The blazing flames jumped high, and the warm light dissipated the cold air. The two girls' bodies that were trembling slightly due to the cold calmed down.
Several people gathered around the fire, and the orange firelight reflected on their faces.
At this time, Zhao Xuan spoke: "It will be easy to find Fatty's soul ring later. Fire attribute soul beasts should be quite active in winter, but Hermione, have you decided what to hunt for your soul ring?"
Hermione pursed her lips lightly, feeling a little confused for a moment and unsure of herself.
Her martial soul wand is very interesting. The wand itself does not have any characteristics, which will make it lose some advantages, but on the other hand, this is also an advantage.
Because its innate nature is blank, it is highly malleable and can be given soul rings with almost any attribute. Moreover, whether they are beasts, plants, or even soul rings produced by some special types of soul beasts, they can be given to it.
plus.
Seeing this, Zhao Xuan carefully suggested: "According to the master's opinion, you'd better add a defensive soul ring now, so that you have all three abilities of offense, defense and auxiliary. Although you may not have an advantage in the early stage, but
It will be a good development for you in the future.”
"Of course, the choice is your own business. As long as you are sure, I will help you hunt the corresponding soul beast."
The girl's brows furrowed slightly, and her loose curly blond hair naturally fell down the side of her face. The blond hair covered her face, making her expression unclear.
Zhao Xuan sighed softly. He knew about Hermione's struggles. The girl had revealed it to him when they were still in the second stage of training at the Soto Spirit Arena, but now he didn't know whether the girl's thoughts were
There has been a change.
After a long time, Hermione whispered: "Just do what the master said."
"Huh? Are you sure?" Zhao Xuan looked at the girl in surprise.
After making up her mind, the girl's heart seemed to become more determined, and she nodded resolutely.
"There's still a long way to go, isn't it?" Hermione said playfully with a slightly raised corner of her mouth.
"Yes, it will be a long time ahead." Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Then when I grow up, will you protect me?"
After a moment of silence, the girl lowered her eyelids, took a slight breath, and asked in a somewhat uneasy tone, her tone trembling slightly.
Zhao Xuan was startled, and the scene instantly became silent. The girl lowered her head, and her chest rose and fell uneasily.
Ma Hongjun on the side looked at his nose and heart, looking sideways at the dim tree crown, his expression extremely twisted.
What are you two doing? Can you pay attention to the impact?
Hermione waited quietly for the boy's reply. She felt her head was a little dazed and her earlobes became hot and red.
Why...why did I suddenly say such things?
After she said these words, the girl felt that her heartbeat suddenly jumped wildly. While she was looking forward to it, there was also a kind of nervousness, fear, and hesitation that followed closely.
As time goes by, this feeling in the girl's heart becomes more and more intense.
"good!"
Suddenly, the young man replied simply.
With a simple word, the girl felt that all the tension, fear, and hesitation she had just felt disappeared at this moment, as if the clouds were cleared, and the warm sunshine shone in.
On the side, Ma Hongjun, whose neck was a little stiff, suddenly felt like tears were streaming down his face.
At this moment, not only the cold wind but also the cold dog food hit my face.
…
Time passed unconsciously, and the touch in Zhao Xuan's heart just now gradually calmed down, but it did not disappear, it was just deeply rooted in his heart.
"Um."
A slight cry came out, instantly attracting the attention of several people.
Looking in the direction of Zhu Zhuqing, the ghost leopard's soul ring gradually moved towards Zhu Zhuqing's head. On top of the two circles of yellow soul rings on her head, the faint purple thousand-year soul ring settled. Under the perception of her spiritual consciousness, Zhu Zhuqing
His soul power instantly broke through the limit!
She opened her eyes, and a strange light flashed across them.
Immediately, a smile bloomed, as pure as the snow lotus on Tianshan Mountain.
"hiss!"
Zhao Xuan and the others were stunned. Is this really Zhu Zhuqing? She...she actually smiled.
"Don't look!" Suddenly, a faint voice of resentment came from beside Zhao Xuan, and the girl's brown eyes like glass looked straight at him.
Zhao Xuan laughed twice, while Ma Hongjun snickered from the side, hey, look at you feeding me dog food, now you know how powerful you are.
Zhu Zhuqing came back to her senses, her earlobes were slightly red, but her face returned to its cold state, her face as plain as jade, warm and clear.
Several people gathered around, and Zhao Xuan asked: "Zhuqing, what is your third soul skill?"
Zhu Zhuqing stretched out her hands, and the sharp claws popped out freely. She said: "I named the third soul skill Nether Slash. It absorbs the characteristics of the ghost leopard's sharp claws. Look."
After saying that, she jumped up and her figure flashed past everyone's eyes, but Zhao Xuan's consciousness helped Hermione and Ma Hongjun successfully capture Zhu Zhuqing's figure.
Her figure was seen jumping across two ancient trees, and soon she reached the top of the tree. Her third soul ring flashed, and then a knife-like black shadow formed between her two claws, and she suddenly slashed out.
A large piece of the tree crown was cut off, and it fell like rain. A hole appeared at the top of the airtight tree crown, and snowflakes fell from it.
Seeing that something was not going well, Zhao Xuan quickly hugged Hermione and dodged to the side, and then Zhu Zhuqing fell from the air and landed deftly on the fallen branch.
All the branches fell down, and they stacked up more than two meters high. Among them, many of the branches that were cut off were as thick as a human waist, but they were all cut flat and smooth by Zhu Zhuqing's chop.
Zhao Xuan smiled with satisfaction: "The power is pretty good."
Zhu Zhuqing also had some joy in his eyes, obviously very satisfied with his third soul skill.
"Hmm? Where is Ma Hongjun?" Zhao Xuan suddenly looked around strangely.
"Well...I'm inside!" Ma Hongjun's muffled voice came from the branches of the trees at Zhu Zhuqing's feet.
Zhu Zhuqing blinked, and then quickly jumped off.
The pile of branches trembled slightly, and then Ma Hongjun got out of it with a look of embarrassment, breathing heavily.
"Brother Xuan, can't you bring me out by the way?" Ma Hongjun said with a resentful look.
Zhao Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you okay?"
Ma Hongjun was stunned.
…
In the next few days, everyone successfully hunted the third soul ring for Ma Hongjun from a Millennium Flame Eagle. Ma Hongjun successfully broke through to the Soul Master and obtained the third soul skill, Phoenix Sky Soar.
"In this way, Hermione's soul ring is the only one left." Zhao Xuan said after Ma Hongjun finished absorbing the soul ring.
If you want to obtain defensive soul skills, you are more likely to obtain them from thick and heavy soul beasts.
But now that it is winter, and all the heavy soul beasts are hibernating, this is somewhat difficult.
