"You're leaving now, why don't you stay a little longer?"
Beside the azure lake, Xiao Wu is wearing a pure white dress, standing as graceful as a jade lotus flower in bloom.
In front of her, Zhao Xuan and Hermione stood quietly. Today they planned to leave here and head south to the Star Luo Empire to look for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
Hermione chuckled. She held Xiao Wu's hand and said, "Otherwise, you come with us to find Zhuqing and the others."
Xiao Wu was a little moved, but she quickly shook her head and said softly: "Forget it, I want to concentrate on my practice. I don't expect that I can be a help to Xiao San, but I can't be a drag on him either."
Hermione glanced at Zhao Xuan, who was silent. Time passed by in a hurry, and before he knew it, nearly a year had passed since he said goodbye at the Soul Master Conference. He also missed Tang San, whom he had not seen for a long time.
However, Tang San had already been taken away by his father Haotian Douluo, and even he didn't know where Tang San was or what he was doing at this time.
In the past year, he and Hermione first practiced in the Secret Realm of the Valley of Flowers for half a year, and then secluded themselves in the Star Forest to cultivate, sparring with the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python all day long.
Not long ago, I successfully realized the mystery of the field.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that a year has passed...
Xiao Wu felt a little sad, with a look of longing in her eyes.
Seeing this, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but comfort him: "It's okay, Xiao Wu. With Uncle Tang Hao's training, Xiao San's strength will definitely increase by leaps and bounds. When everyone breaks through to the realm of Titled Douluo, Wuhun Palace and other things will not matter at all.
Already."
"Then you two, everyone, can always be together. I believe that day won't be too far away."
"I hope so." Xiao Wu's eyes showed hope.
The earth suddenly trembled, and the trees in the distance seemed to be shaking. Not long after, the figure of the titan ape Er Ming suddenly appeared in front of several people.
The atmosphere at the scene was strangely stagnant for a moment. Suddenly, the Titan Ape stretched out a hand to Zhao Xuan.
"Um?"
Zhao Xuan looked at the Titan Ape with some strangeness, and saw the Titan Ape's hand slowly loosening, and a soul bone emitting colorful light was instantly revealed.
"Is this a soul bone?"
Zhao Xuan and Hermione were surprised. Nothing else, but soul bones are so precious. No one expected that the Titan Ape would suddenly take out such a piece.
"Is this for me?" Zhao Xuan asked the Titan Ape somewhat strangely.
"I know you don't need the soul bone, so this soul bone is for Hermione."
The azure bull python stretched its head out of the lake, and the lake water splashed down from its head.
"For me?"
Hermione, who was standing quietly by the side, said with some surprise and surprise.
"Yeah!" The Titan Ape nodded.
Xiao Wu took the soul bone from the Titan Ape's hand, then handed it to Hermione's hand, and said with a smile: "Since Er Ming gave it to you, just accept it."
Hermione's hand holding the soul bone was shaking a little, and she said incoherently: "But... this is too precious."
Xiao Wu chuckled and shook his head: "Although soul bones are indeed very precious to soul masters, they are useless to soul beasts. This soul bone was left behind after the death of one of Er Ming's former opponents.
Since Er Ming gave it to you, it means that Er Ming recognized and accepted you."
When Hermione heard this, she looked at the Titan Ape in astonishment.
Er Ming said in a low voice: "I can feel that you are a kind person and a friend of Sister Xiao Wu. If you have the opportunity in the future, you are welcome to come here as a guest again."
Pursing her lips, Hermione still felt that this gift was too precious, and she couldn't help but look at Zhao Xuan aside.
Zhao Xuan nodded: "Since it is Er Ming's gift, then you can accept it, but Xiao Wu, you..."
At the end of the conversation, Zhao Xuan looked at Xiao Wu hesitantly. In her memory, Xiao Wu didn't seem to have a soul bone yet.
Xiao Wu understood the meaning of Zhao Xuan's words. She shook her head and said: "Although I have transformed into a human, the bloodline of the soul beast in my body has never been cut off, so I have a natural resistance to the soul bones of other soul beasts.
, unless it is particularly suitable, it will be harmful to me."
"And this soul bone is produced from a 50,000-year-old soul beast. The skill it possesses is called Extreme Cold Storm. It has dual attributes of ice and spirit. It can not only freeze the human spirit, but also the human body. For He
It’s very suitable for sensitive people.”
"Fifty thousand year soul bone?! Extreme cold storm!"
This soul bone was of the highest quality both in terms of quality and the soul skills it possesses, which made Hermione's eyes sparkle but made her hesitate even more. The more precious this soul bone was, the more she felt she deserved it.
Seeing this, the Azure Bull Python said: "We spirit beasts are not as cunning as you humans. If we recognize you, then you are a partner worthy of our trust."
"If you still find it difficult to accept, then consider it as our reward for inviting you to protect Sister Xiaowu."
"Da Ming..." Xiao Wu looked at the Azure Bull Python, his eyes flashing.
Tian Qing Niu Python turned a blind eye and continued: "Sister Xiao Wu will definitely go out again in the future. Please take care of me then."
Having said this, it would be a bit pretentious not to accept it, so Hermione finally nodded and accepted it, with deep gratitude on her face.
"Thank you...Er Ming."
The titan ape scratched his head and showed an honest smile.
"As long as you can accept it."
It was natural to be surprised to receive such a big gift before leaving, so Zhao Xuan planned to stay for a few days and wait for Hermione to fuse the soul bones.
The core area of the Star Forest was extremely quiet, protected by the two overlords, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, as well as the extremely powerful Protector Zhao Xuan. The process of merging Hermione's soul bones was naturally smooth.
This piece of soul bone was left behind by a former rival of the Titan Ape. That rival was a polar ice ape, a species of soul beast that can only be found in the extremely cold places in the north of the continent. For some reason, it ended up in the Star Dou Forest.
.
Perhaps due to the repulsion of the same kind, the polar ice ape and the titan ape did not get along, and they started to fight each other when they met. After countless years of entanglement, the polar ice ape was finally killed by the titan ape. Perhaps it was because of the decades or hundreds of years of fighting.
The failure of the confrontation resulted in strong unwillingness and resentment. After the death of the polar ice ape, the titan ape received a trophy, which was this soul bone.
After Hermione fused the soul bone, she did a little test, and the result surprised Zhao Xuan. Because it was the right arm bone, Hermione waved her hand casually, and the ice and snow fell, and everything in the area covered by the wind and snow was frozen.
, it will break when touched.
Hermione's soul power is only around level 47 now, but the power of this move is no worse than the Soul Emperor's soul skill. No wonder every time a soul bone appears, it always makes people fight to the death.
This huge improvement without side effects is really terrifying.
However, after merging the soul bones, it was time to say goodbye. After saying goodbye to Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming, Zhao Xuan and Hermione set off towards the south of the Star Dou Forest. To the south of the Star Dou Forest is the Star Luo Empire.
