"Ooh!"
The fierce elbow strike landed, and the Gale Wolf howled in agony. Under the immense force, it was instantly sent flying, collapsing onto the grass beside it and falling into eternal sleep, slowly transforming into a ball of pure energy.
"Sasha!"
With a soft sound, the fallen leaves in front of Na'er continued to fall, fluttering and landing on the ground, but Na'er stood frozen in place as if she had been frozen in place by a spell.
"I do not understand!"
"I can't do anything..."
A moment later, Na'er's fair face scrunched up, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at the dead Gale Wolf and whispered.
She was utterly defeated, looking like a greenhorn in front of Jiang Xiu.
"Na'er, what are you mumbling about? Call her Boss."
After absorbing the energy of the Gale Wolf, Jiang Xiu's soul rings had been around for nearly a thousand years. Looking at Na'er beside him, Jiang Xiu waved his hand lightly in front of Na'er's eyes.
"A bet's a bet, and you're now my prisoner."
Na'er gritted her teeth, looked at Jiang Xiu with a smile on his lips, made up her mind, and spoke.
"Hmm, not bad. You'll be working with me from now on."
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and said with a smile.
He deliberately controlled the number of kills from the beginning, all for this final blow. Although Na'er's intelligence was amazing, he was still slightly better.
However, Jiang Xiu has now confirmed that Na'er has indeed inherited a part of the Silver Dragon King's humanity, while Gu Yue, whose whereabouts are unknown, is more inclined towards being a soul beast.
"If Gu Yue finds out that I lost to a human child, wouldn't I be laughed at?"
Na'er sighed inwardly, feeling quite ashamed, but she could only accept reality.
"No, if I become Jiang Xiu's boss, Jiang Xiu will definitely help me in the future, and if Jiang Xiu becomes my boss, he will definitely help me in the future too. So it seems like I'm not at a loss."
Suddenly, Na'er thought of something and comforted herself, saying that now she could only gamble on Jiang Xiu's character.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Just then, a giant spider suddenly sprang out of the ground. It was extremely peculiar in appearance, with a dark purple body and a hideous ghost face on its abdomen. It was the Human-Faced Demon Spider, also known as the Nightmare of Small Soul Beasts.
Judging from its appearance, it had been lying in ambush for a long time and was now roaring as it charged toward Na'er, who was right in front of it.
"Whoosh!"
"Pfft!"
The human-faced spider trembled instantly upon being glared at by Na'er's beautiful eyes, feeling immense pressure. Then, the silver dragon spear flew out and pierced the human-faced spider's body, and a legendary terminator fell.
"Hmph! I can't beat Jiang Xiu, so beating you is just a piece of cake, isn't it?"
Na'er gave a soft snort and instantly refined the energy of the human-faced demon spider.
"Human-faced Spider, Human-faced Spider, why did you provoke her?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Jiang Xiu couldn't help but mourn for the Human-Faced Demon Spider for three seconds. The Human-Faced Demon Spider was considered a high-quality soul beast 20,000 years ago, but in the era of Dragon King Legend, which emphasizes bloodline, it was just a common roadside creature.
It's perfectly normal for Na'er to finish him off like a minion.
After Na'er absorbed the energy of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, her hundred-year soul ring trembled slightly, and then a light purple hue spread out, successfully transforming into a thousand-year soul ring.
"Na'er, let's go, let's continue hunting soul beasts."
Seeing Na'er's transformation, Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered, and he immediately prepared to continue deeper into the dense forest. His spiritual power had now reached 210 points, which was enough to upgrade his first soul ring to a 2,000-year limit.
The Gale Wolf pack was mostly composed of ten-year-old soul beasts. Although the energy they brought him was not much, it still brought his first soul ring to nine hundred and ninety years old.
"Roger that, boss!"
Na'er perked up and continued to follow behind Jiang Xiu. After her own mental victory, she felt that acknowledging Jiang Xiu as the boss was no big deal.
However, when Na'er looked at the Shadow King who was following Jiang Xiu again, and then at the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand, she suddenly realized that the Silver Dragon Spear was still too difficult to operate and was not as simple and powerful as Jiang Xiu's Shadow King.
"By the way, boss, what's your opinion on soul beasts?"
Na'er asked tentatively, knowing she could never forget her mission, as the fate of countless races of the Soul Beast clan rested on her shoulders.
"The Soul Beast race has declined. As far as I know, Soul Beasts only survive in the Star Dou Great Forest and the depths of the ocean."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's gaze shifted slightly, and he spoke softly, while also feeling somewhat wistful.
The Spirit Pagoda's starting point was good, and it did reduce the conflict between soul beasts and humans in the beginning. However, the greed in people's hearts is limitless. The Spirit Pagoda was like a dull knife chopping meat, silently eroding the strength of the soul beast race.
With the emergence of numerous human soul-guided technologies and powerful individuals, the decline of the soul beast race seemed inevitable.
"What about the future?"
Na'er asked with expectant eyes.
"In the future... if we can find another place suitable for survival, perhaps we can revive it."
Jiang Xiu looked thoughtful and considered his words carefully.
"I don't understand why everyone is discussing the decline of soul beasts, as if the Douluo Continent is destined to be fraught with danger for our soul beast race."
Upon hearing this, Na'er pouted, inwardly resentful.
"Of course, I've heard that in the distant past, the Dragon God of the Dragon Clan was divided into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. The Silver Dragon King inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God and is now missing. Perhaps when he returns, he will be able to lead the Soul Beast Clan to regain its glory."
Seeing Na'er's furrowed brow, Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he smiled as he comforted her.
"Really?"
"It's true! I swear on the positions of the Asura God and the Sea God, if the Soul Beasts cannot be revived, these two positions will collapse."
Jiang Xiu looked at the joy in Na'er's eyes and said solemnly.
"No need to swear, I suddenly feel you're not bad."
Na'er gave a soft hum, her steps becoming even lighter.
"Who are you? I'm your boss."
"Roger that, boss!"
Na'er followed Jiang Xiu and continued into the forest.
"I never imagined that Xiao Xiu's first spirit ring would be such a precious time attribute."
Inside the circular metal room, Leng Yaozhu looked at Jiang Xiu, who had won the bet, her phoenix eyes filled with astonishment.
"Hahaha, lucky me, lucky me."
Seeing that Leng Yaozhu was just as shocked as he had been back then, Mu Ye laughed and said modestly.
"At this rate, it feels like Na'er is going to give herself away for nothing."
Leng Yaozhu shook her head slightly, looking at the two walking side by side on the screen, and thought to herself, and this feeling became more and more certain in her heart.
"Lord Leng, after this spiritual ascension, I plan to establish the headquarters of the Body Sect on the street you provided. I see that Na'er and Xiao Xiu are the same age, which will make it convenient for them to communicate and spar."
Unlike Leng Yaozhu, Mu Ye looked at the two people on the screen with a slight smile on his lips, and then spoke.
But before that, he had to bring his eldest disciple, who was also Jiang Xiu's senior brother, over.
"walk slowly."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu sighed inwardly. She could see through Mu Ye's little scheme, and she knew she couldn't take back what she had said.
Since things have come to this, let's leave it at that for now.
……
Meanwhile, in the distant Starry Sky Forest...
Before the Lake of Life.
Several imposing figures stood there, the leader being a tall man with black hair and golden eyes, exuding a powerful aura.
But at this moment, they all looked respectfully at a girl in the sky above the lake.
At that moment, the girl slowly opened her eyes and turned around.
