Chapter 87

Inside the tree cave.

Xiong Er looked up at the massive black soul ring above Xu Nian'an's head.

Don't know why, it suddenly began to panic.

It slowly walked to the mother bear's body and extended its small claws to push, but there was no movement.

Xiong Er, who didn't get a response, became even more panicked. Urgency and unease almost instantly filled its heart.

"Ying, ying, ying~!!!"

Following those ying, ying, ying calls, Xiong Er's tears burst.

It remembered; it seemed to know or understand something.

Every time its mother hunted, soul rings of various colors would fly out. Not long after this soul ring flew out, it could eat delicious meat.

Xiong Er knew that perhaps, this time, its mother was really going to sleep forever with its younger brother and sister.

Bean-sized tears fell.

"Ying, ying... awoo, awoo... roar, roar!!!"

Following the aggrieved crying, there was a milky bear roar.

On Xu Nian'an's body, two purple soul rings shone. The moment the second soul ring appeared, a blue light shone, and a massive turtle-type soul beast with water-blue ice crystals appeared.

The Ice Black Tortoise glanced at the crying Xiong Er, then turned its head, looking curiously at the surroundings.

It didn't pay any attention to Xiong Er's crying.

While crying, Er Gou suddenly felt his body warm. Looking up, a familiar face appeared before his eyes.

Roar!

It, it's Mother Bear!

Xiong Er was stunned. It looked at Mother Bear, who was lying motionless in front of it and had already turned into a cold corpse, and then turned to look at Mother Bear, who was in a soul state, stunned and at a loss.

"Roar~: Come over, big cub!"

Following the familiar voice ringing out, Xiong Er didn't hesitate anymore and pounced into Mother Bear's arms.

Hugging Xiong Er, Mother Bear showed a relieved smile at the corner of her mouth.

Looking at her own corpse, not long after, golden light shone.

During the time Xu Nian'an was absorbing the soul ring, it wasn't just things happening inside the tree cave.

Outside the tree cave,

Tens of kilometers away, the battle location of the Silver Moon Giant King and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

An old man wearing white clothes, with white beard and hair, watched all this with a gloomy expression.

"Again... late again???"

Bang!

The next second, the white clothes instantly burst open, and muscles full of extreme power appeared.

"Damn it..., damn Silver Moon Giant!"

"Even if... I search the entire Core Area, I... I will find you!!!"

Following a roar, Xuan Lao flew away rapidly.

"Fourth Brother, what... what exactly is going on?"

Xu Jianzong arrived with most of the Xuanming Sect disciples. Looking at this crazy scene before him, he instantly became conflicted and hesitant.

You have to know that this is the Core Area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Let alone the Xuanming Sect disciples, even he, this 89-level Titled Douluo infinitely close to 90, could very likely fall here.

Xu Jianyang glanced at Xu Jianzong and didn't speak, but turned to the hundreds of disciples in green robes behind him.

"Search! The Young Sect Master fired my Xuanming Sect's distress signal in this area before. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you have to find the person for me!"

After Xu Jianyang left a sentence, he turned and flew toward Xuan Lao's direction.

Xu Nian'an was still alive after encountering the 100,000-year soul beast attack; Xu Jianyang believed it.

Because three days later, he saw the Xuanming Sect's exclusive distress signal flare again.

But... but this time, the Silver Moon Giants were one step ahead again.

Xu Jianyang was afraid; he was afraid that Xu Nian'an had held on and survived the first time, but wouldn't be able to hold on this time...

So, before finding Xu Nian'an, he must ensure that he was still alive.

Roar, roar, roar!!!!

Following the roars, Xu Jianyang looked up, and his pupils shrank instantly.

"100,000-year soul beast, Silver Moon Giant King!"

Nine soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red—flickered continuously, and the twenty-plus Silver Moon Giants around couldn't withstand the pressure and knelt on the ground one after another.

The Silver Moon Giant King looked in horror at the old man with his upper body naked in front of him.

"Where exactly is the human you were chasing earlier? Speak!"

Shrek City, Shrek Academy.

A person in a hurry ran rapidly into the Inner Court.

Soul Guidance Department, Dean's Office.

Xian Lin'er rubbed her beautiful brows tiredly, absent-minded.

Her right hand flashed, and a blue-red long sword appeared.

"Failed... why is that!"

Looking at the work in her hand that was only half finished, Xian Lin'er couldn't help but mutter to herself in the night, beginning to doubt herself.

Ever since Xu Nian'an resigned from her to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for his third soul ring, Xian Lin'er couldn't help but often sit at the desk, looking at the bracelet Xu Nian'an gave her, and the earrings on the small earrings in the mirror in a daze.

On a whim... Xian Lin'er also wanted to forge a soul guidance device for Xu Nian'an as a gift.

This time her inner premonition was very strong; she even sensed that perhaps this time she could break through her own limits.

Forging a Level 9 soul guidance device that she had never stepped into.

Unfortunately, everything was fine originally; she even depicted a soul guidance core that surpassed her peak level, but just when she was about to continue forging, her heart suddenly became chaotic. At that moment, her heart was restless, as if something very important was about to leave her.

This feeling, Xian Lin'er had never had before; this was the first time she had experienced it.

Looking at her own hand, the bracelet she was wearing, finally... she still reached out and opened the drawer under the desk...

【Ding, Goddess Xian Lin'er's favorability +1!】

【Favorability reached 20. Reward: Level 2 fully automatic soul guidance device factory!!! Soul power storage ring production blueprint. (Level 3!)】

After finishing, Xian Lin'er looked at the bracelet emitting a shimmering green light in her hand and suddenly felt incomparably fulfilled.

With this, even at night, she wouldn't be alone.

The next second.

In the center of Sea God Lake, inside the Golden Ancient Tree of Sea God Island, a beam of light shot straight into the sky!

The Sea God Pavilion meeting had begun!

When Xian Lin'er arrived at the Sea God Pavilion, she found that everyone else had already arrived, and only she was left.

The expressions of everyone present were painful.

"The situation is urgent, so I won't go into more detail."

In the main seat, Mu En spoke.

He lowered his head, letting others not see his expression.

"This time, led by Yan Shaozhe, assisted by the elders... the soul-hunting team encountered a 100,000-year soul beast attack. This is something we didn't expect."

"Casualties aside..."

Speaking of this, Mu En raised his aged head, tears flickering in his eyes.

"Casualties aside, but for those who survived, please everyone must strive to win them back. This generation of Shrek cannot be broken like the last time!"

Xian Lin'er looked blankly, until... the Sea God Pavilion meeting ended.

She finally reacted completely. The soul-hunting team encountered a 100,000-year soul beast attack, then Xu Nian'an... no, then her own disciple...

Nearly ten beams of light flew away from Sea God Island, with the Star Dou Great Forest as the destination.

As time passed bit by bit, a fish-belly white rose in the sky. In the tree cave, a beam of light fell.

The black soul ring above Xu Nian'an's head slowly fell.

Slowly opening his eyes...

"Finally... finished absorbing!"

Just as Xu Nian'an opened his eyes, Mother Bear and Xiong Er appeared before his eyes. A pair of golden claws in mid-air attracted Xu Nian'an's attention.

"This is... soul bone, or external soul bone!!!"

Roar~

Mother Bear patted Xiong Er's head, then patted her own chest, and then continued to drag these golden bone claws with soul power, sending them before Xu Nian'an.

Is she... repaying a kindness?
