Douluo: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 38 Falling Hair

Ye Jingqiu pricked up his ears to listen to the sounds behind him.

The sound was wrong, it was too soft. Although the burrow leopard looked like a thin dog, it was more than two meters long. It was impossible for it to make only this little sound.

What's more, the burrow leopard is very fast, Ye Jingqiu has seen it before, it is impossible for it to be so slow that it makes sounds but there is no sign of the soul beast.

This can only mean one thing, it is not behind Ye Jingqiu at all, and it has no intention of coming out from that side. It is just testing, so where will it come out from?

He made a feint to the east and attacked in the west. Since he wanted her to be fooled, then she might as well be fooled. Ye Jingqiu deliberately made a noise and walked quickly towards the direction where the burrowing leopard made the sound.

Ye Jingqiu looked calm. After taking two steps, his hanging hand moved slightly and he felt something.

Ye Jingqiu turned around, and the second soul ring on her body lit up immediately. The purple light was very gorgeous. As expected, as soon as Ye Jingqiu turned around, she met the eyes of the burrow leopard and the soul beast.

At this time, the burrow leopard's sharp claws had been exposed and were very close to Ye Jingqiu. She had no doubt that if she was a second later, the burrow leopard's sharp claws would have fallen on the back of her head.

The second soul skill, the devil's sound pierces the ears. The sharp claws of the burrow leopard fell very quickly, but no matter how fast it was, its claws deviated.

Ye Jingqiu's hair was waist-length, and because he turned around in a hurry just now, his hair was still floating in the air. When the sharp claws fell, Ye Jingqiu's black hair immediately fell to the ground.

The burrow leopard had obviously used up all its strength in this move, and its claws actually embedded directly into the ground and got stuck.

Ye Jingqiu looked at the burrow leopard and felt a little strange. The three little black snakes were highly poisonous, but they had been in the burrow leopard's body for such a long time, so why was it still able to move freely?

It’s just a thousand-year-old soul beast known for its speed, how could this happen?
Ye Jingqiu couldn't figure it out, but reality didn't make her wait long. The next moment, the burrow leopard fell to the ground, its body began to tremble slightly, and foam came out of its mouth.

Ye Jingqiu tightly gripped the dagger at her waist. She knew in her heart that now was the best time to get rid of the burrow leopard, but she couldn't help but think of Qian Daoliu's words in her mind.

This burrow leopard cannot be killed.

At this time, this thousand-year-old soul beast had obviously lost its combat ability, and Ye Jingqiu quickly walked towards Qian Daoliu.

When she approached the transparent protective cover, it was instantly retracted.

The Soul King saluted Qian Daoliu and Ye Jingqiu respectfully, then picked up the large black iron cage and flew towards the burrowing leopard in the middle.

Qian Daoliu's gaze fell on Ye Jingqiu, "You did very well just now. Your reaction was quick and your tactics were very meticulous."

During this period of time, Ye Jingqiu had a clear understanding of Qian Daoliu's strictness. Hearing his praise, Ye Jingqiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She thought she was going to be scolded again.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and her eyes looked particularly bright because of the smile.

But before she could be happy for two seconds, Qian Daoliu spoke and her smile disappeared from her face.

"But you just had two fatal flaws. Why did you stand there and not try your best to stop the burrowing leopard?"

As he spoke, his vision gradually dimmed. "Or do you not know that when the black patterns on the crypt leopard glow, it's using its abilities? You simply don't know enough about soul beasts." "As a soul master, a soul master who hunts soul beasts, why do you have such a superficial understanding of soul beasts? Although crypt leopards are rare, they are not considered rare soul beasts."

Ye Jingqiu lowered her head upon hearing this, her cheeks slightly red. Qian Daoliu's tone was very calm at this time, and it could not be said that he was scolding her, but the more he did so, the more uncomfortable Ye Jingqiu felt.

"I'm sorry, Great Priest, this is my negligence. When I return, I will read books about soul beasts and try to understand all of them."

Qian Daoliu's beautiful golden eyes locked onto Ye Jingqiu. "It's impossible to understand all soul beasts, but I hope that you won't be so overwhelmed when you encounter soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest in the future."

"You are the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. You will always have Titled Douluo by your side to protect your safety, but Ye Jingqiu." Qian Daoliu's eyes were sharp. "But they can protect you temporarily, not forever."

Ye Jingqiu knew that what Qian Daoliu said made sense. She had experienced this twice before, once when she absorbed her third soul ring in the Star Dou Great Forest, and once when she faced an assassination attempt by five soul masters.

"I understand the great offering."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, his expression improving considerably. "And I hope that something like you just standing there blankly next to that burrowing leopard won't happen again."

"Soul beasts with higher soul power have relatively higher intelligence. There are even soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that can speak human language. What if that burrowing leopard just now was cheating and suddenly attacked you when you approached? What would you do?"

"Whether you're facing a spirit master or a spirit beast, underestimating your opponent is a big taboo. I hope you won't make such a low-level mistake again."

Ye Jingqiu nodded earnestly, "I understand, Great Priest. Don't worry, I will never make this mistake again."

After a pause, Ye Jingqiu looked at Qian Daoliu with some curiosity, "Great Priest, what kind of soul beast can actually speak human language?"

Qian Daoliu's eyes were deep and surging, "That is an extremely powerful hundred thousand year old soul beast that lives in the Lake of Life in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest. It can be called the strongest known existence in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Ye Jingqiu's eyes trembled slightly, and she looked at Qian Daoliu in disbelief. Bibi Dong had once told her about the power of a hundred thousand year old soul beast.

"Is there a being more powerful than a hundred thousand year old soul beast?"

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly. "There are always people better than you, and soul beasts are no exception. In addition to hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, there are also twenty-year soul beasts, and there are also ferocious beasts. So when entering the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul rings, you have to be careful. Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo may not be able to protect you when you encounter a powerful being."

Ye Jingqiu knew that Qian Daoliu was doing this for her own good, so she nodded and said, "I understand, Great Priest."

"You go back first. Today's special training ends here."

"Yes." Ye Jingqiu turned and left. She closed the door gently, fearing to disturb Qian Daoliu inside.

When the footsteps disappeared, Qian Daoliu walked to the soul beast field and stood where Ye Jingqiu had just stood.

A strand of black hair was scattered on the ground, and Qian Daoliu looked at it in a daze for a moment.

After a long time, he bent down and picked up the fallen hair.
