Chapter 183: Zhu Zhuqing: Her Ears Are Very Sensitive, Okay...?

「It's nothing, I'm just curious~」

Ye Feng stroked his chin and just looked at Zhu Zhuqing, his eyes clearly brimming with ill intent.

「No... no more touching! 」

Zhu Zhuqing clamped her tail, lightly stomped her feet, and felt even more panicked inside.

She strongly suspected Ye Feng was thinking of something very perverted.

「Mm-hmm~ I won't touch, won't touch~」

Ye Feng repeatedly promised.

「Hmph... you'd better not... 」

Zhu Zhuqing hummed softly, then turned around and continued leading the way for Ye Feng.

But she kept at least three meters away from Ye Feng now, so she wouldn't be "surprise attacked" by him again.

Of course, Ye Feng didn't secretly touch her again either.

Anyway, there was plenty of time.

Touching once wasn't that interesting anyway.

The two continued deeper in; although Zhu Zhuqing led the way, Ye Feng directed the route.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was puzzled, she didn't ask too much and trusted Ye Feng very much.

Generally speaking, trying to find a specific soul beast in Sunset Forest was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But Ye Feng had a rough location, and he had also used the ability of "Child of Nature," directly using the plants of Sunset Forest to find the "Ghost Tiger," so it was much simpler.

Even though Ye Feng had never seen a Ghost Tiger, as long as he described it roughly, he could filter similar memories from what countless plants had seen and heard to check.

In just half an hour, Ye Feng had already grasped the Ghost Tiger's location.

The Ghost Tiger clan was not few in number, but there was only one 5000-year Ghost Tiger, and also the strongest one; its den was near the Ice Fire Two Varieties Eye, no more than ten kilometers away.

Not long after, the two arrived beneath a cliff, ahead was a pitch-black cave, inside dark and damp, with faint beast roars coming out; one look and they knew it was extremely dangerous.

「Ye Feng, what are we doing here... it looks so dangerous... 」

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the bottomless mountain cave ahead, inexplicably somewhat terrified, and subconsciously retreated behind Ye Feng.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing was still a girl; she could fight to the death with powerful soul beasts, but for this kind of environment permeated by darkness, she had an instinctive fear, making her hair stand on end.

Only by Ye Feng's side could she feel a bit of security.

「If I remember correctly, there is a kind of soul beast called Ghost Tiger in this cave, possessing a powerful clone skill, very suitable as your fourth spirit ring. 」

Ye Feng spoke to explain.

「Is that so, then can we not go in, is there a way to lure it out? 」Zhu Zhuqing nodded her head, but still didn't really want to go in.

This mountain cave was still a bit small; she felt she couldn't move freely inside.

And she also didn't know where the cave led inside; if they were attacked from front and back, it would be dangerous.

「That works too. 」

Ye Feng nodded, agreeing with Zhu Zhuqing's idea.

He wasn't that afraid himself, but this mountain cave was really somewhat disgusting; even standing outside, he could smell a faint stench of feces and a fishy odor.

If they went deeper inside, it would definitely be even stinkier.

However, Ye Feng, through perception, could clearly feel that the 5000-year Ghost Tiger was indeed inside, and there were no other Ghost Tigers.

After all, Ghost Tigers had extremely high territorial awareness; one mountain cannot hold two tigers; this place was this Ghost Tiger's territory, naturally it wouldn't let other Ghost Tigers encroach.

「You retreat a bit, I'll control it; when the time comes, you listen to my command, prepare a fatal strike. 」

Ye Feng waved his hand, telling Zhu Zhuqing to retreat a bit, so as not to hurt her.

「Mm! 」

Zhu Zhuqing, upon hearing this, also quickly retreated backward.

However, she released her martial soul, obviously planning to take action at any time.

Ye Feng came to the cave entrance, then directly pinched out a fireball and threw it into the cave ahead.

The fireball was only the size of a ping-pong ball, but the moment it entered the cave entrance, it instantly exploded, expanding thousands of times, directly flooding the entire cave entrance.

「Boom—」

A huge sound also came out at this moment, the entire cave shook violently once.

「Crash—」

The cave entrance was blown to pieces, a large amount of rubble also slid down from the mountain wall, almost blocking the cave entrance tightly.

「Roar—」

And just at this time, from within the blocked mountain cave suddenly burst out a roar filled with violent rage.

Three seconds later.

The mountain cave covered by rocks suddenly exploded open.

「Boom!!!! 」

A giant black tiger over six meters long, with pitch-black striped patterns all over its body, rushed out from within, straightly pouncing to kill Ye Feng.

This big black tiger was precisely the 5000-year cultivation "Ghost Tiger" that Ye Feng had felt through various plants!

The distance between the two sides was about twenty meters; at the moment of pouncing, the opponent split into four identical figures.

The four figures crossed hundreds of times within half a breath, then came around Ye Feng from five directions, making it hard to tell which one was the main body.

However, the opponent's tricks were full of flaws under Ye Feng's "Star Pupils," completely useless; Ye Feng saw through the true form at a glance.

However, even without "Star Pupils," Ye Feng wasn't too worried.

The next moment, terrifying cold air burst out from under Ye Feng's feet.

「Hum—」

Ultimate cold Qi spread out abruptly with Ye Feng at its center, crashing head-on into the five Ghost Tigers.

Crack-crack-crack—

The terrifying cold Qi erupted into a large amount of hard ice the instant it encountered the five Ghost Tigers, freezing them firmly in place.

The four Ghost Tiger phantoms dissipated with a boom without energy to support them, leaving only four empty shells.

Only the Ghost Tiger on the far left remained, standing stiffly in place.

Although the ice layer was only a thin one centimeter, the hardness of the Ultimate Ice was comparable to diamond; let alone a mere Ghost Tiger, even a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast would find it difficult to break open.

Moreover, the terrifying cold Qi continuously seeped into the Ghost Tiger's body, gradually stiffening its body.

"Zhuqing, attack the opponent's head."

As Ye Feng's words fell, the hard ice atop the Ghost Tiger's head suddenly melted, revealing the Ghost Tiger's head.

Roar—

The Ghost Tiger opened its mouth and let out a weak, powerless roar.

The ultimate cold made its whole body stiff; it could not even roar loudly, and its eyes were filled with horror.

Whoosh—

In the next moment, a figure flashed to the front of the Ghost Tiger's head as if using Instant Transmission.

"Netherworld Instant Hell Kill!"

The instant Zhu Zhuqing appeared, the terrifying slash also burst forth simultaneously, landing heavily on the Ghost Tiger's head.

Pfft—

The terrifying slash directly cleaved the Ghost Tiger's head in two, but there was no brain matter splattering as imagined.

Because the Ghost Tiger's head was frozen by Ye Feng's ice the instant it was cut open.

One blade, two halves.

Clean and neat.

Killed on the spot.

"Well done."

Ye Feng walked over, reached out and rua'd Zhu Zhuqing's head, focusing on the cat ears — fluffy, soft, very comfortable to the touch.

"This is all your credit..."

Zhu Zhuqing's face reddened; praised, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, she had been just going through the motions the whole time, only delivering the finishing blow; if not for Ye Feng, she definitely would not have been a match for the Ghost Tiger.

"Alright, hurry up and absorb it; this is a Spirit Ring I specially prepared for you, it will definitely suit you very well."

"After you absorb it, I'll give you another gift."

Ye Feng pointed at that burst-out Purple Soul Ring and said.

"Good!"

Zhu Zhuqing also knew the Spirit Ring would disappear if not absorbed quickly, so she didn't say anything more, hurriedly sat cross-legged, and began absorbing the Spirit Ring before her.

At the same time, she looked forward to Ye Feng's gift; it would definitely be another surprise.
