Chapter 159 The Clever Purple-Eyed Thunder-Patterned Tiger
Starry Sky Forest, Central Region.
Ye Nanxiao dusted himself off, looked at the two soul beasts he had frozen into ice blocks in front of him, and muttered to himself, "Do you think that swan figured it out or not?"
"Who knows? That swan isn't some naive fool. Brigitte has been like this for a long time," the Snow Empress's voice rang out, tinged with a hint of helplessness.
"Never mind, let's go find Elder Xuan first," Ye Nanxiao said after thinking for a moment.
He estimated the time in his mind and sensed the location of Xiao Ye No. 2.
Little Ye No. 2 was specially summoned by Ye Nanxiao to follow the three little ones, so that he could locate them and rush over at any time.
Snow Empress leaned back on the conjured beanbag chair, cradling a small fox doll in her arms. She gently kneaded the doll's face with her delicate hands, muttering to herself, "Bijie, what exactly are you planning?"
With her hands slightly clasped together, specks of blue light flickered between Xue Di's hands, and snowflakes materialized out of thin air, dancing around her.
"Go," Xue Di said softly.
Snowflakes fell, merging into Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea, tempering his soul power, constantly refining and compressing it.
"Since Princess has given you such a generous gift, you can digest it later," the Snow Empress said softly.
Suddenly sensing a surge of soul power approaching, a sharp glint flashed in Ye Nanxiao's eyes, and a faint frost appeared on his hand.
A tiger's roar sounded behind him. Ye Nanxiao turned around and immediately burst into laughter.
A purple-eyed, lightning-patterned tiger was staring at Ye Nanxiao, saliva dripping from its gaping maw, its beastly eyes scanning back and forth between the two frozen soul beasts and Ye Nanxiao.
The Purple-Eyed Thunder-Patterned Tiger clearly saw Ye Nanxiao and the two soul beasts that Ye Nanxiao had frozen as food.
"Look at the twelve lightning patterns on this guy's body, he's about 50,000 years old!" Ye Nanxiao said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.
"Roar!" The purple-eyed thunder-patterned tiger, realizing that the human in front of it was not only not running away but also provoking it, let out a deafening roar.
"Shouting so loudly, don't disappoint me in terms of strength!" A soul ring appeared behind Ye Nanxiao, and with a wave of his right hand, a huge ice flow ring tore through the air and flew towards the Purple-Eyed Thunder-Patterned Tiger.
The purple-eyed, thunder-patterned tiger beast's eyes revealed disdain. In its long life, it had dealt with humans quite a bit, and this human in front of it only had five circles on his body, so he was probably no match for it.
Lightning suddenly appeared on his body, and his right claw, crackling with dazzling lightning, was about to strike down at the Ice Stream Ring.
Hmm? This human only has five circles? Why does he seem so fierce? A thoughtful look appeared in the eyes of the purple-eyed, lightning-patterned tiger beast.
As the ice ring approached, a sense of crisis swept through his body. The purple-eyed lightning-patterned tiger beast's pupils contracted, its fur stood on end, and its entire body was covered in lightning.
The Ice Stream Ring slammed into the Purple-Eyed Thunder-Patterned Tiger, and the powerful force blasted the tiger away.
It flipped in the air, leaving four long tracks on the ground.
"Roar?" The Purple-Eyed Thunder-Patterned Tiger shook off the ice shards on its body, slapped the ground with its right paw, bared its fangs, and crouched slightly, circling around Ye Nanxiao, seemingly saying, "That's all?"
"This is interesting indeed. Get ready to take my shockwave." Ye Nanxiao took out a shock grenade from his storage ring and put on a standard smile.
Lightning crackled around the Purple-Eyed Thunder-Patterned Tiger, bursting forth with intense light, before it turned and ran away without looking back.
Ye Nanxiao stared in disbelief as the purple-eyed, lightning-patterned tiger disappeared into the woods in two seconds. "You ran so fast? Weren't you roaring so loudly just now? Why did you run away?"
Ye Nanxiao forgot to pursue for a moment, and it took him a while to realize what was happening.
"This tiger is quite intelligent and is also skilled in your Thirty-Six Stratagems," Xue Di sneered.
Ye Nanxiao thought for a moment and decided to chase after him. This tiger was so smart that it might be much more capable than its kind. It would be a pity not to catch it and teach it a lesson. Besides, where did this tiger learn my Thirty-Six Stratagems?
The Purple-Eyed Thunder-Patterned Tiger felt it was having a bad day. It saw a human freeze two big guys and thought it was going to have a good meal. But the human only had five rings but was very powerful, more powerful than anyone it had ever encountered. Based on its years of experience in battle, if it couldn't beat the human, it should run away immediately. But why was this human chasing it?
"Old Black, wait a minute!" Ye Nanxiao shouted to the fleeing Purple-Eyed Thunder-Patterned Tiger as he leaped between the trees.
"Old Black? You've already come up with a name so quickly? It's quite fitting, though." Xue Di looked at the black-furred, purple-eyed, lightning-patterned tiger, whose twelve blue lightning patterns were very eye-catching.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao, along with Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong, had just dealt with a ten-thousand-year-old Tiger Demon Cat. Looking at the corpse of the ten-thousand-year-old Tiger Demon Cat, Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a soul bone skill called Ice Explosion.
And so, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, attracted by the scent of the Tiger Demon Cat, took the bait.
Xuan Lao, who was secretly observing Huo Yuhao and his companions not far away, threw away the chicken bone in his hand and muttered to himself, "These three little guys are planning to set a trap to hunt down that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear? But why is Yuhao's method so cunning? Could it be that Xiao taught him again?"
Just as he was taking a sip of wine, a loud explosion suddenly rang out. Startled, Elder Xuan quickly put away his wine jug and looked in the direction of Huo Yuhao and the other two.
-
"Hmm? Xue'er, did you feel a familiar fluctuation?" Ye Nanxiao looked up at the sky and seemed to vaguely hear an explosion.
"Yes, to your right." As the strongest expert in the field of ultimate ice in this world, Xue Di's perception of the aura of ultimate ice far surpasses that of Ye Nanxiao.
"It seems we're very close; the clone is also nearby."
Ye Nanxiao glanced at the Purple-Eyed Thunder-Patterned Tiger that had already fled into a dense forest and the gradually darkening sky, then turned and headed in the direction from which the extreme ice fluctuations were coming.
After dispersing his clones, Ye Nanxiao casually ate a couple of bites of dry rations, assessed the situation of the soul beasts he encountered along the way, and thought, "We should have arrived at the boundary between the outer and middle layers."
After traveling for a while, eight auras suddenly appeared in Ye Nanxiao's perception, one of which emitted a very powerful soul force fluctuation.
At the same time, the strongest aura on the other side also detected Ye Nanxiao.
Eight people came into view. Ye Nanxiao glanced at them casually and saw that they seemed to be preparing to set up camp and rest.
"Who goes there?" The middle-aged man in the lead launched a probing attack at Ye Nanxiao, a cloud of gray mist condensing into a fist and blasting towards Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao raised his hand and pierced the cloud that had condensed into the shape of a fist with an ice bullet.
The ice bullet pierced through the mist, and Ye Nanxiao appeared in the opponent's field of vision.
"Huh?" The middle-aged man was somewhat surprised to see his soul skill being pierced. He clenched his fist and threw a punch at Ye Nanxiao's ice bullet.
The fist, carrying clouds of mist, collided with the ice bullet, creating a large cloud of mist. A bone-chilling cold instantly enveloped the middle-aged man, causing him to involuntarily withdraw his fist and take two steps back.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Nanxiao dispersed the ice bullets and stood there looking at the middle-aged man, his eyes filled with coldness.
A slender man next to the middle-aged man quickly went into battle mode.
The middle-aged man in the lead quickly raised his hand to stop the thin man's actions, and greeted Ye Nanxiao with a friendly smile, saying, "Young brother, hello. We were just testing whether it was a soul beast attack. Please forgive us!"
Ye Nanxiao nodded, showing no intention of communicating, and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment, young man," the middle-aged man said.
Ye Nanxiao turned his head and looked at the group of people with a puzzled expression. His gaze swept over the two gorgeously dressed girls who were surrounded by the crowd.
"She must be the young lady of some family, hunting for soul rings in Star Dou," Ye Nanxiao thought to himself.
"What is it?" Ye Nanxiao asked calmly.
"My name is Mo Yunfei. May I ask you to come over here for a moment, young man?" Mo Yunfei sized up Ye Nanxiao a few times, his tone carrying an air of unyielding authority.
Ye Nanxiao frowned slightly. Besides a Soul Saint, there were four other people on the other side who should all be Soul Kings. If a conflict broke out, Ye Nanxiao could easily retreat unscathed with the help of his soul tool.
Seeing that Ye Nanxiao remained unmoved, Mo Yunfei smiled and said, "Young brother, did you come to the Star Dou Great Forest alone? Why don't you come and rest here for a while and warm yourself by the fire?"
Ye Nanxiao glanced at their campsite and saw three tanned leather tents—two large and one small—beside a campfire.
Although Mo Yunfei was smiling, his aura had already locked onto Ye Nanxiao, and he could launch an attack at any moment.
"Since we've run into each other, we might as well gather some information." Ye Nanxiao nodded and sat down by the campfire at Mo Yunfei's invitation.
Sitting by the campfire, a girl dressed in a light yellow outfit kept looking at Ye Nanxiao with her big, bright eyes.
The other girl was about the same age as the first one, dressed in a white outfit, with a cool and aloof appearance.
The aloof girl stared intently at Ye Nanxiao, sensing that his martial spirit was being suppressed.
Mo Yunfei sat down right next to Ye Nanxiao. The other five people sat three to the right of the two girls, next to Mo Yunfei, while the other two were preparing food.
The wood in the campfire crackled, and the fire suddenly grew a little larger, illuminating Ye Nanxiao's face.
When Mo Yunfei and the others focused their attention on Ye Nanxiao's face, they were all stunned.
The firelight illuminated the handsome young man's face, causing the girl in yellow to stare in a daze, a slight blush rising on her pretty face. The girl in white kept her eyes on Ye Nanxiao, wanting to speak several times but holding back.
"Young man, may I ask your name?" Mo Yunfei said warmly.
"Xiao Nan," Ye Nanxiao replied without batting an eye, using a pseudonym.
"Brother Xiao, where are you from? We're from the Douling Empire." Mo Yunfei took out a small wine flask and took a sip.
"Star Luo Royal Academy." In any case, part of the Star Dou Great Forest is indeed within the Star Luo Empire, and he is quite familiar with Emperor Xu Jiawei of Star Luo.
"So you're a top student from the Star Luo National Academy. No wonder you dared to come to the Star Dou Great Forest alone." Mo Yunfei's face showed surprise. The others, including the two girls, also looked somewhat surprised. The other men also put away their contempt.
Ye Nanxiao stared at Mo Yunfei's wine flask, and a new idea suddenly flashed through his mind: a soul-guided bomb shaped like a wine flask seemed pretty good. There was an old drunkard in the academy who would carelessly throw away his chicken leg bones after eating them, especially on his head!
That old drunkard has no morals!
Seeing Ye Nanxiao staring at the wine jug in his hand, Mo Yunfei coughed, protectively holding his precious jug, and said, "Brother Xiao looks so young, I presume this is the academy's graduation assessment?"
As he spoke, Mo Yunfei glanced around, seemingly unintentionally, trying to pinpoint the location of the powerful figures secretly protecting the students during their assessment.
"No, I'm not old enough." Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly.
Mo Yunfei laughed loudly, put away the wine jug, and said with a smile, "Then you can't drink alcohol, you're underage."
Ye Nanxiao originally wanted to ask Mo Yunfei and the others if this was their first time hunting for spirit rings for two girls. After all, both the three little ones and he himself had come to Star Dou after a period of time following the end of the competition, yet they still managed to run into Mo Yunfei and his group.
Will this lead to changes in other events? This was a question in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
Mo Yunfei, who was chatting and laughing, suddenly turned serious, stood up abruptly, and his spirit rings appeared on his body.
The other five sensed something was amiss and surrounded the two girls, looking wary.
Ye Nanxiao watched Mo Yunfei and the others' actions with great interest. He sensed a familiar aura approaching them, and it seemed to belong to someone he knew.
The five people, led by a tall, thin man, quickly escorted the two girls to Mo Yunfei's back. The two men kept their eyes fixed on Ye Nanxiao, wary of him.
Seeing Mo Yunfei and his group's actions, Ye Nanxiao did not show any displeasure. Instead, he took out a few marshmallows and roasted them over the campfire.
