"Hmm."
Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, surprised that he had accidentally fallen asleep under Tang Ya's gentle care.
Fortunately, Beibei was keeping watch nearby, so nothing unexpected happened.
Tang Ya wiped away her tears and said thankfully, "Yuhao, thank goodness you're alright. How could you run off to such a dangerous place all by yourself?"
Huo Yuhao explained, "Sister Xiaoya, I'm just browsing around to see if I can find a suitable spirit ring."
"Have you found it? I'll help you look for it later. You can't go on alone without a teacher or mentor. Okay, you come with me first," Tang Ya said decisively.
"Sister Xiaoya, I've found the right one."
Huo Yuhao scratched his head, pointed to the soul guide sword at his waist, and a white soul ring appeared beneath him.
Tang Ya frowned slightly as she looked at Huo Yuhao's ten-year soul ring.
"Yuhao, how could you be so hasty with your first spirit ring! The first spirit ring should be at least a hundred years old to benefit your future development! No matter what your spirit is, a ten-year first spirit ring will have minimal benefit for you later!"
"Yes, Brother Huo, the age of your spirit ring is a bit low, but fortunately, it can be corrected by adding spirit rings later," Bei Bei interjected.
Tang Ya was worried for Huo Yuhao, as such a limited lifespan of spirit rings was really not conducive to his future development.
"Yuhao, you should have waited for me. I already guessed your purpose. If I had waited earlier, you wouldn't have used this spirit ring."
Huo Yuhao patted his chest and assured her, "Oh, it's alright, Sister Xiaoya. I'll work hard in the future, and I can still rival those geniuses."
"Pfft! Good, good, it's good that you have such a steadfast heart."
Tang Ya covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her slender fingers tapping Huo Yuhao's chest in encouragement.
Beibei stood aside, watching the two of them, and suddenly felt that she was superfluous as a third party.
In the corner of his eye, a streak of pinkish-purple, like an arrow released from a bow, suddenly rushed towards Tang Ya and the other person from his blind spot.
"Xiaoya! Watch out!"
Upon closer inspection, the pinkish-purple creature turned out to be a large snake, three meters long, with a protrusion on its forehead.
A thousand-year-old Datura serpent!
The datura snake opened its mouth, spewing out pinkish-purple venom, and its gaping maw headed straight for Tang Ya's face.
The movement was so fast that Tang Ya couldn't react in time and stood there stunned.
Whoosh!
A flash of sword light appeared.
"hiss!"
The datura snake painfully flicked its tongue and flew away violently.
Tang Ya felt a force pulling her backward from her waist, and she fell backward uncontrollably.
She bumped right into Huo Yuhao, who stepped back with her.
The highly toxic gas was sprayed onto the grass, making a hissing sound; it was extremely poisonous!
Tang Ya leaned against Huo Yuhao's firm chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, and her pretty face flushed slightly.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao already possesses such excellent skills after only recently becoming a Soul Master.
"Sister Xiaoya, are you alright?"
Huo Yuhao ignored her flushed face and asked.
Tang Ya buried her face even deeper. "It's nothing... I'm fine."
Beibei saw Tang Ya being attacked but didn't notice anything unusual about Tang Ya, and was very angry.
That damned datura snake! It just attacked Xiaoya! Damn it!
Crash!
Countless bolts of lightning flashed around Beibei, his eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils, the muscles in his right hand began to swell, the sleeve of his clothes began to tear inch by inch, and blue scales appeared. His entire right hand transformed into a dragon claw.
"Third Soul Skill, Thunderous Fury!"
The lightning in Beibei's right hand became even more violent, erupting wildly and scorching the surrounding grass with its scattered lightning.
Its right claw went straight for the mandala snake next to it!
The Mandala Serpent had just been struck by Huo Yuhao's sword and had not yet recovered when countless bolts of lightning enveloped it.
The immense threat caused it to writhe wildly, trying to escape the reach of the dragon's claws.
But Beibei moved too fast!
It didn't even have time to escape before Beibei grabbed it. Countless blue lightning snakes constantly stimulated its body, and its thick scales offered no protection whatsoever.
The datura snake flicked its tongue wildly, its body trembling constantly, coiling around Beibei's dragon claws, trying to escape.
Seeing this, lightning flashed in Beibei's eyes, and the lightning in her hand intensified!
The datura snake finally gave in, and a spurt of bright red blood gushed from its mouth, scattering on the ground and creating specks of red.
A burnt smell filled the air.
Beibei knew when to stop, and was electrocuted by the datura snake until she was barely alive.
He grabbed the datura snake by its seven-inch mark, his dragon claws pinching its mouth, and shouted at Tang Ya, "Xiao Ya, quick! Kill it, and you'll get your spirit ring!"
Hearing Beibei yell like that!
Tang Ya trembled, then realized what was happening and quickly left Huo Yuhao's embrace.
I'm so embarrassed that I've been hiding in Yuhao's arms for so long!
Tang Ya quickly patted her face, and the blush slowly faded away.
Seeing that Tang Ya seemed a bit off, Huo Yuhao assumed she might have been exposed to the poisonous fog and asked, "Sister Xiaoya, you didn't come into contact with the poisonous fog, did you?"
"Huh? No, no, Yuhao, I'll get the spirit ring first. Stay close to me and don't wander off," Tang Ya immediately explained.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure Huo Yuhao hadn't noticed anything.
Beibei walked over carrying the datura snake, boasting, "Xiaoya, look, it's a thousand-year-old datura snake!"
"Okay, I understand."
Tang Ya glanced at it, then flipped her hand, and a fine iron throwing knife appeared, piercing directly into the snake's mouth that Bei Bei had pinched open.
The datura snake hissed, its life completely extinguished!
Beibei immediately withdrew the lightning, the lightning snake in her hand dissipated, and the scales on her right hand slowly faded away, restoring it to a human hand.
A purple soul ring appeared on the corpse of the Mandragora Snake, floating in mid-air and slowly taking shape.
Tang Ya summoned her martial soul, the Blue Silver Grass leaves swaying as she waved her hand, about to summon the soul ring to absorb.
Tick-tock!
A drop of dark purple liquid.
It suddenly fell onto the grass in front of Tang Ya.
The ground was instantly corroded, creating a huge hole! An incredibly foul stench filled the air!
Tang Ya looked in the direction the liquid was dripping.
A huge spider web covered the three of them, with a drop of liquid slowly condensing on it.
The liquid wobbled precariously on top, giving the impression that it might fall at any moment.
When did this happen?
Beibei looked up at the large web, stroking her chin with one hand. "When did this spider web appear? Let's get out of here first; I feel a bit dangerous."
For safety's sake, Beibei plans to leave first.
Tang Ya glanced at the spirit ring on the ground, then at Huo Yuhao behind her, and nodded.
The sudden appearance of the spider web sent a chill down one's spine, making abandoning the spirit ring and leaving a wise decision.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the spider web, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
Little spider? Aren't you coming out yet?
boom!
The heavy object crashed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble and sending up clouds of dust that obscured the three people's vision.
"Xiaoya, Brother Huo, come closer to me!"
With a low shout, lightning surged from Bei Bei's body once more, and her martial spirit directly possessed her.
Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass grew rapidly, transforming into a long whip that wrapped around Huo Yuhao's waist, bringing him to her side.
The two cautiously observed their surroundings and slowly retreated with Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao stared ahead, his relaxed demeanor standing out from the other two.
He yawned and drew the sword from his waist.
"roar!"
The terrifying sonic wave directly dispersed the dust around the three of them.
The purple spirit rings floating on the ground were instantly dispersed!
A large white face suddenly pierced into Beibei's pupils!
On the spider's abdomen, which is five meters in diameter, white patterns resembling human faces swayed continuously, while its nearly ten-meter-long legs kept striking the surrounding trees.
The spider's compound eyes stared at the three people in front of it, sending chills down their spines!
More dark purple liquid dripped from its mouth, and the ground hissed and corroded.
"Human-faced Demon Spider!"
"This size is at least ten thousand years old! Run! Xiaoya, run!"
