Xiao Yan leaped down from the curved horn of the Azure Bull Python.

Ahead, the demonic tree with its demonic eyes, though its trunk had been pierced and it was on the verge of death, had not died immediately.

Countless branches were still twitching slightly, and the strange, eye-like patterns on the main trunk flickered with light and shadow, emitting a dizzying spiritual fluctuation...

But it was already at its last gasp; Xiao Yan only felt his vision flicker, and then there was no further effect.

But his main question was that he had never seen this type of soul beast in the basic soul beast encyclopedia.

Is this thing really ten thousand years old?

He kicked the tree trunk again, making a dull thud like rotten wood, which made him even more suspicious.

"One last blow."

The deep voice of the Azure Bull Python rang out, "You can do it."

"Pfft!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan decisively summoned the Blue Silver Grass. The grass leaves instantly hardened into sharp spiral spears, which pierced straight into the most conspicuous eye pattern on the trunk of the Demon Eye Tree!

It then suddenly spun and exploded!

Cruel and decisive.

Such decisiveness caused the Azure Bull Python's aura to deepen further. Even Xiao Wu, upon seeing this scene, opened her mouth, pursed her lips, and didn't know what to say.

Then, a deep, dark soul ring slowly condensed above the broken body.

"Huh, it really is ten thousand years."

Xiao Yan glanced at the Azure Bull Python with some surprise.

However, he just glanced to the side.

The Azure Bull Python spoke directly:

"Begin absorbing; we will protect you."

After saying that, he coiled himself up like a giant snake, extending his body to separate the surrounding area and leaving a space specifically for absorbing soul rings.

The gaze on the bull's head appeared very sincere.

But what they really thought was completely different.

Each soul beast has its own strengths, and different soul beasts have different strengths, so they cannot be simply measured by their age.

For example, some hundred-year-old soul beasts possess the defensive capabilities of thousand-year-old soul beasts, while this Demon Eye Tree focuses on the spirit.

Although it is only 13,000 years old, its mental counterattack is definitely no weaker than that of a 20,000-year-old soul beast!

Even if he overestimates the humans before him, under these circumstances, he should still be able to see what he wants to see...

Thanks.

Xiao Yan responded with a sincere smile.

As suggested by the Azure Bull Python, he sat down cross-legged in front of the black spirit ring, assuming a posture ready to absorb it.

His movements were observed by the Azure Bull Python and Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu, who couldn't get a word in edgewise, felt that it was both reasonable and strange.

When did the Ming Dynasty become so easy to talk to?

Why would the humans in front of me be so cooperative?

In her opinion, both of them were intelligent. Could this be the tacit understanding between intelligent people?

But she's not stupid, how could she not see it?

Xiao Wu stared intently, but her feet moved involuntarily, standing between the Azure Bull Python and Xiao Yan, forming another layer of protection.

This action caused the Azure Bull Python's aura to sink even further.

But he still forcibly shifted his attention back to the human who was preparing to absorb the spirit ring.

If you try to explain to Sister Xiaowu, the result will most likely not be what he wants.

Because of their ten thousand years of interaction, he knew very well.

I'm sorry, Sister Xiaowu.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, Niu Tong suddenly noticed that the human seemed to be putting something into his mouth.

"Um?"

Before he could figure it out, Xiao Yan had already focused his attention, spread his arms, and a blue silver grass with shimmering golden patterns on its blue surface emerged from his palm.

"Um??"

The strange aura emanating from that martial soul stirred something within the Azure Bull Python, but it didn't allow him to dwell on it. Xiao Yan entered the state of absorbing the soul ring without any hesitation.

"Um???"

Is she really so confident in him? Is it due to self-assurance, other reasons, or even arrogance?

The Azure Bull Python's Big Bull Head couldn't understand it.

But right now, Xiao Yan is completely absorbed in absorbing the soul ring, not because he is completely at ease with that giant snake.

Rather, it's because he trusts Amen!

Even if something goes wrong, Amen can absorb all the energy and take him away; the margin for error is extremely high!

But it's unlikely that anything will go wrong; there's a high probability that nothing will go wrong.

The pills he just took were the Ice Heart Pill and the Pulse Protecting Pill.

Although both are only second-grade pills, they perfectly correspond to the current situation. One stabilizes the mind and the other protects the meridians, which are exactly the two most critical needs when absorbing a soul ring.

Similarly, it was precisely because it was a second-grade elixir that he was able to obtain it quickly using the methods he had employed at the "Little Wishing Well" over the past few days.

Elixirs of grade four or higher require a certain amount of time to prepare.

But for those below the fourth rank, as long as they dare to speak, are able to speak, and can bring themselves to speak, they will "mysteriously" find it.

Of course, Ling Ying's cooperation is probably also related to everything he has done these past few days.

Ling Ying had witnessed the pain Xun'er felt when she was burned by the strange fire, and since he used his first soul skill, Xun'er had never been in that state again.

The effort he puts in is seen as equivalent to the actual reward he receives, which is why he can be available whenever needed.

"start!"

With a thought, Xiao Yan felt the ring being drawn by an invisible force, slowly falling toward the blue silver grass that was unfolding in his palm.

At the very moment the spirit ring and the martial soul made contact!

"Buzz—!"

A chilling, violent, and resentful mental shock suddenly surged through the Blue Silver Grass and crashed into Xiao Yan's sea of ​​consciousness!

My vision was instantly filled with distorted illusions, countless pale, blood-dripping eyes opened all around me, and sharp screams exploded directly in the depths of my soul.

If it were an ordinary Soul Master, even if their Soul Power reached level 40, they would probably lose consciousness and go mad instantly under the impact of this ten-thousand-year-old resentment that focuses on the mind.

Outside, the Azure Bull Python's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan, its massive body coiled motionless.

He waited, waiting for signs of pain, struggle, and even collapse to appear on that human face.

however.

Xiao Yan is sitting cross-legged.

He only furrowed his brow almost imperceptibly.

The expected roar, trembling, and bleeding from all seven orifices did not occur.

The mental shock struck a "barrier" the moment it entered his mind. The medicinal power of the Ice Heart Pill had already dissolved, flowing like a cold spring, protecting the clarity of his mind.

At the same time, the effects of the Meridian Protection Pill were steadily circulating in the meridians, guiding and calming the violent soul power that surged in along with the mental impact, greatly reducing its impact.

Deeper still, the resentment of the Demon Eye Tree, formed by the superposition of two souls, seemed fierce.

But in reality...

"That's it? I overestimated it again?"

Seemingly sensing the contempt of humans, the Demon Eye Tree, already burdened with deep resentment from the betrayal and death of its own kind, saw its remaining resentment surge once more, violently impacting Xiao Yan's spirit.

However, Xiao Yan seemed to have a god's-eye view as he looked at the churning black mist and shook his head.

Weak, still too weak!

According to the old doctor, his soul power should not have reached a certain stage of qualitative change, or has it changed?

He hadn't even realized it himself. The last time he had this feeling was when he obtained his second martial soul, the rabbit martial soul, which had this kind of enhancement.

But back then, the allure of space was greater, so I didn't pay much attention; now...

Is this really called a rabbit?

While Xiao Yan was thinking absurdly, he was also paying attention to what was in front of him, but why was the opponent's attack still so weak?

It couldn't even pique his interest in the slightest.

He sighed inwardly.

Immediately, with a slight thought, an even stronger mental force pressed back, and the ferocious black smoke emitted a soft hissing sound before quickly dissolving completely.

outside world!

The black spirit ring was firmly attached to the Blue Silver Grass spirit.

"Huh???? How could it be so fast!"

The azure ox and python's eyes trembled violently.

He had never seen, no, never even heard of, such a speed of absorption, even in his tens of thousands of years of life. Even a sacrifice could not be so fast, right?

What's wrong with humans?!

Is it possible that even mental attacks are completely ineffective against him?

Still not enough time for the bull-headed guy to figure it out.

Xiao Yan sighed deeply and stood up, but this time, he did not let the spirit rings appear naturally as he had the previous two times.

The spirit rings he absorbed were already "strange and unusual," and if they appeared in an even more bizarre form, it would really damage his image.

But when he turned to look at the two of them, he only saw Xiao Wu take a step back, startled.

Wait, something's not right...

Why do they all seem... smaller?
