Chapter 268 Deterrence and Restart of King's Landing (4.6k)
After Orange said these words, both parties fell into silence.
The red firelight reflected in their eyes, leaving only the crackling sound of burning wood and the boiling sound of broth.
Because of the existence of the Thousand-Year-Old Dream Demon Man-Eating Flower, almost no soul beasts dare to approach this area. It doesn't feel like you are in a soul beast forest at all, but more like you are in an ancient forest isolated from the world.
The reason why Xu Zihuang dared to light a fire in the Mingdou Forest was partly because of the intimidation of the dream demon piranha, and partly because of his confidence in his own strength.
Although the Mingdou Forest is rich in extremely aggressive mutant soul beasts, the overall quality and quantity of the soul beasts are far inferior to those of the Star Dou Forest.
With his current strength, even soul beasts with fifty thousand years of cultivation can easily deal with them, and in the Mingdou Forest, soul beasts with this level of cultivation are definitely rare. What's more, what they have now
The location is just beyond the outer area of the Mingdou Forest.
Xu Zihuang stirred up the bonfire with a wooden stick, bringing up sparks that gradually dissipated in mid-air.
From Orange's attitude and tone just now, he could see that he had already occupied a certain position in Orange's heart.
Although he knew that it was more because the dishes he cooked had the taste of Orange Father. But at least, his goal was achieved.
Orange just lowered her head, straightened her legs together, and sipped the fragrant broth in the bowl. She deliberately avoided Xu Zihuang's sight with evasive eyes, as if she was trying her best to calm down her emotions.
"ah--"
It was in such a dull atmosphere that a scream suddenly sounded.
Xu Zihuang didn't have much reaction yet, he just looked in the direction of the all-terrain detection soul guide. But Orange, who was thinking about something, seemed to have been greatly frightened. The bowl he held on his knees almost became unstable and was hit.
turn.
The crystal window of the all-terrain detection soul guide was opened, and Keke got out of it.
Her condition was similar to that of Orange, and her limbs were also a little weak. However, because of her natural strength, she did not nearly fall down like Orange.
At this time, she was protecting her chest with her hands, her pretty face was red, and she was glaring at Xu Zihuang angrily.
"What on earth did you do to me?!"
She said she was glaring angrily, but the emotion in her eyes was still overwhelmingly shy.
"Say! Did you take off my clothes?!" Ke Ke felt angry in her heart.
Her physical fitness is much stronger than that of Orange. Although she, like Orange, was poisoned by the dream piranha before, her consciousness actually remained awake for the first period of time.
She also understood that it was Yu Tianhuang who saved her and Orange.
But that’s not the reason for you brat to take off my clothes! I’ve lost nineteen years of innocence?!
Of course, from her immediate behavior, it was clear that she had a great affection for Yu Tianhuang.
If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid she wouldn't have questioned him like this, but would have taken action directly.
Keke quickly came to Orange and hugged Orange's right hand, her voice a little aggrieved.
"Uuuuu, Sister Orange, I've been exposed."
As she spoke, she glared at Xu Zihuang fiercely.
"Tell me, how to solve this matter? I have been innocent for nineteen years!"
Xu Zihuang smiled helplessly and said: "Senior Keke, these things all happened for a reason. I can guarantee that I didn't do anything to you."
Ke Ke, a girl with a strong nature, seems to have completely different concerns than normal people. Hearing Xu Zihuang's words, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately frowned and said angrily.
"What's your expression?! This girl is smart, clever and cute. Are you trying to say that I have no charm at all?!"
There is quite a feeling of being inferior to an animal.
"Okay, Keke. I helped you take off your clothes. He was always outside. The plant-type soul beast we encountered before is called the Dream Demon Man-Eating Flower. You were poisoned by its Dream Demon Toxin.
The incubus toxin can penetrate through the skin. If you want to detoxify, you must take off your clothes." Orange explained while comforting Keke.
I don't know why, but Orange felt very uncomfortable. The strange emotions from before surged up again.
Thinking that Keke had indeed been naked by Yu Tianhuang, she couldn't help but feel depressed and breathless in her chest. Jealousy or possessiveness was at play, or both.
That's why she said these words. She just didn't want Keke and Yu Tianhuang to have such an ambiguous relationship.
"Sister Orange, is this true?" Keke's eyes widened and she looked at Orange.
Orange nodded slowly, returned to his previous appearance, and said coquettishly.
"Do I need to lie to you?"
Keke pondered for a moment, and then looked at Xu Zihuang with a smile.
"Well, I'm sorry. I blamed you wrongly."
"It's okay, Senior Keke." Xu Zihuang's eyes met with Orange's inexplicably, and then he smiled warmly, and took a bowl of broth from the pot and handed it to Keke.
"Senior Ke Ke, the toxin of the Dream Devil Flower is very powerful. Although the Dream Devil poison has been cleared from your body, you will inevitably be weak for a period of time. Drink a bowl of broth first to replenish your physical strength."
"Then I'm welcome."
Ke Ke took the broth with a smile and drank it without any concern for the image. However, neither the orange beside her nor Xu Zihuang opposite her noticed that the moment the porcelain bowl blocked her big eyes, she
His lips moved slightly.
He said with lip language: Sure enough, there is adultery.
Some girls' private clothes were rather special to wear, and he could be sure that his clothes were definitely not put on by Orange.
And it's hard not to think too much about Orange's deliberate concealment.
Keke has a simple personality, but that doesn't mean she has no brains. In many cases, she is more sensitive than Orange.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.
Doesn't this mean that Sister Orange has also been exposed by him?
Thinking of this, she looked at Orange with a little more ambiguity in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" The guilty Orange felt uncomfortable being stared at by Keke, but thinking that Keke was usually stubborn, he didn't think much about it.
Ke Ke shook her head vigorously, with an innocent look on her face.
"It's nothing, Sister Orange. I was just thinking about how this guy's cooking skills are so good. The broth he makes is more delicious than what you make."
After saying that, her eyes fell on Xu Zihuang again, with a strange light shining in her beautiful eyes.
"Hmph, I'm taking advantage of you, you stinky guy. If you were a few years older, I would have pestered you no matter what. But for now, hehe, I'd better leave it to Sister Orange. You teased me earlier about being a big girl.
Wu Sai’s mother, it seems that Sister Orange, you want to play the role of this mother.”
After several bowls of broth, both Keke and Orange felt warm and indescribably comfortable all over their bodies. Even their physical weakness was relieved a lot.
The two girls sat in front of the campfire, warming themselves up.
The Mingdou Forest is located in the south of the mainland, and it is summer now. Logically speaking, the temperature at night will not be too low. However, the two of them are severely overdrafted, with poor blood flow throughout the body and cold limbs. A fire can provide some relief.
.
Xu Zihuang has obviously taken this into consideration, and these are subtly continuing to enhance Orange and Keke's favor for him.
However, it was precisely because of severe physical overdraft that in the next few days, Orange and Keke were unable to use their martial arts and soul power to fight.
The night gradually deepened, and the dense and lush trees blocked the light of the stars and the moon. The three people in the Mingdou Forest seemed to have fallen into endless darkness. Only the firelight in the bonfire retained the last piece of pure land.
Xu Zihuang took out the two head soul bones from the two-headed ghost wolf from the soul guide.
The small, translucent, crystal-like skeleton exuded a faint green light, instantly attracting the attention of Orange and Keke.
"Is this the head soul bone?! Or two pieces?!" Keke couldn't help but exclaimed.
Orange was also surprised and said: "These two soul bones couldn't have exploded from the two-headed ghost wolf, right?"
The green light emitted by the soul bone was very similar to the feeling the two-headed ghost wolf gave them when they used the light of nothingness. It is not difficult to think of the relationship between the three.
"Senior Orange, you are right. These two soul bones were produced from the two-headed ghost wolf. Perhaps because it is a mutated soul beast, it accidentally revealed these two identical head souls.
Bones. I am certain that the soul skills attached to these two soul bones are the void skills used by the two-headed ghost wolf. They can be absorbed by soul masters with any martial soul without conflict. Since we came out to practice together,
Then Senior Orange, you and Senior Keke also have a share."
As he spoke, Xu Zihuang used his soul power to pull the two soul bones to float in front of the two women, and they were suspended in the air, moving slowly.
Even if the two soul bones were fused into a higher-quality soul bone, he still couldn't catch his eye. He couldn't deliberately hide and swallow these two soul bones, and he didn't bother to do it.
"Soul bones." Ke Ke stretched out her hands to hold one of the soul bones, with a look of obsession in her eyes.
The resources of soul beasts in the Sun and Moon Empire are far inferior to those in the three original empires of the Douluo Continent, and the soul bones circulating on the market are even rarer.
Keke was born as a commoner, and this was actually the first time she had come into contact with a soul bone at such a close distance. After all, even a thousand-year-old soul bone of poor quality can be sold for hundreds of thousands or even nearly a million.
Treasures that are always in short supply at major auction houses.
However, her eyes did not stay on it for long before she pushed the soul bone back to Xu Zihuang and said in an old-fashioned way.
"You were the one who solved the two-headed ghost wolf. These two soul bones have nothing to do with me. Moreover, I am a mid-range and long-range burst-type soul mentor. Combining a virtualization skill will not have much effect. I appreciate your kindness.
Yes, but I cannot accept your benefits in vain."
"Keke is right, these two soul bones should have been yours." Orange also responded in the same way.
"It is said that the Douluo Continent where you are originally from has a method of synthesizing soul bones. Only by synthesizing these two soul bones and then fusing them can the effect be maximized. You might as well find an opportunity to fuse these two soul bones. Your history
Lake College should be in control of such an approach."
"Soul bone synthesis?" Keke looked at Orange blankly, but she didn't expect that Orange knew this secret.
Orange had no choice but to briefly explain a few words to Keke.
Just like the most advanced soul guidance device researched by Mingdetang of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, the research on soul bone synthesis technology originally belonging to Douluo Continent is also highly confidential. Most people don't even know about the soul bones of the same type.
can be integrated with each other.
Since Orange and Keke had said so, Xu Zihuang naturally would not shirk anymore and put the two soul bones back into the storage soul guide.
At this moment, a series of harsh "chirps" sounded suddenly, and shadows rushed over from the mountains not far away.
It was as if Xu Zihuang and the others were surrounded in an organized manner, but they did not approach rashly.
Their shadows can be seen in the canopy and treetops.
"The soul beast is approaching."
Orange and Keke became alert, while Xu Zihuang signaled the two of them to be calm, with golden light shining in his golden eyes.
"It's a group of red fire monkeys. They came down from the mountains where the group of ghost wolves lived before. They should be grabbing territory."
The Red Fire Monkey is a very common spirit beast. It has fire attributes, lives in groups, has an extremely bad temper, and is very vindictive. If divided according to the types of spirit masters, they belong to the agility attack type, especially good at long range.
fire attribute attack.
Xu Zihuang's guess was good. The Nether Wolf Pack led by the two-headed Nether Wolf had had several battles with the Red Fire Monkey Group to compete for territory. The overall strength of the two groups was about the same.
However, because the individual strength of the two-headed ghost wolf was slightly stronger than that of the leader of the Red Fire Monkey Group, a Red Fire Monkey King with four thousand years of cultivation, the Red Fire Monkey Group did not gain much advantage in several confrontations.
Now the body of the two-headed nether wolf fell into the hands of Xu Zihuang. After sensing the aura of the leading two-headed nether wolf disappeared, the group of red fire monkeys immediately came to the door.
It is said that wolf-type soul beasts are cunning and vengeful, but this ape-type soul beast is not much better.
"Senior Orange, Senior Keke, leave it to me." Xu Zihuang stood up calmly, and a spiritual wave of tangible material centered on his body suddenly enveloped a two-kilometer radius.
A golden light of spiritual power flashed past, and the bright golden light had the majesty of dominating the world.
Then Orange and Keke heard the 'puff' sounds of the red fire monkeys falling from the treetops and crowns to the ground, as well as the frightened screams of the leading red fire monkey king.
The people who were most surprised were not Orange and Keke, but the Red Fire Monkey King.
It was shocked to find that nearly two hundred of its tribesmen had lost consciousness without exception. This even included three red fire monkeys who had cultivated for thousands of years.
And it was also under that terrifying mental pressure, its breath became sluggish, and it fled in panic.
These are of course Xu Zihuang's masterpieces.
He was using the Jun Lin Tian Xia that Mr. Mu taught him, but he was using it purely through mental power.
It has the effect of intimidating and impacting the sea of spirit and mind.
It can be integrated into any spiritual attribute soul skill he possesses.
For example, after his fifth soul skill, Spiritual Storm, is integrated into Jun Lin Tian Xia, it will have the special effects of Jun Lin Tian Xia.
This is also the reason why he decided to add spiritual attribute soul skills to all the remaining soul ring positions of his Golden Child Martial Soul.
Xu Zihuang had better show mercy, otherwise with the strength of his mental power, all these red fire monkeys would die here.
"Did you just use a soul skill?" Orange and Keke asked dumbfounded.
Killing a group of soul beasts with one move was simply beyond their imagination.
Are they really only soul kings? They are also soul kings, but they are more than one and a half stars behind Yu Tianhuang.
Xu Zihuang sat down again indifferently.
"It's not a soul skill, it's just a method of applying mental power. You can understand it as a special combat skill."
Orange and Keke looked at each other, but neither of them bothered themselves by asking about these things.
The three of them sat around the campfire and talked, and the night passed like this.
Because Orange and Keke were in poor health, they stayed here for seven days in a row.
The responsibility of protecting the two naturally falls on Xu Zihuang. However, in these seven days, he has not encountered a few soul beasts. The soul beasts that occasionally approach seem to be very afraid of this place, perhaps because they know that dream monsters eat
The existence of human flowers is, at best, just watching from the periphery.
Those soul beasts were all driven away by Xu Zihuang just like he did with the group of red fire monkeys.
In addition, Xu Zihuang is also responsible for providing three meals a day.
If it weren't for the ambiguous relationship between Orange and Yu Tianhuang, Ke Ke, whose stomach had already been conquered by Xu Zihuang, might have been shaken in her heart and made up her mind to betray her.
It was not until seven days later that the three of them continued to set off along the periphery of the Mingdou Forest to test the performance of the all-terrain detection soul guide. Going south, they could clearly feel the temperature rising.
