Chapter 610 ate
Ye Qing'an's gaze swept across the magical beasts, but she did not see Yi Moxu.
His hands clenched tightly at his sides. So, where is Yi Moxu?
The beast that guarded the forest used a soul-locking spell on Yi Moxu, locking his soul in place. He probably won't be able to return to the Cloud Dream Realm.
Since there was no way to return to the Cloud Dreamland, the Forest Guardian Beast also failed to bring him back.
So... he ran away?
still is……
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath, and the thought of the other possibility made her chest ache terribly.
"Enough with the nonsense, where are they?"
"A human?" The beast of the forest cackled. "What kind of human are you asking about? Oh... is that handsome male human from before? The one with the writing on his face?"
Before Ye Qing'an could answer, the forest-suppressing beast raised its hand with a smile.
Ye Qing'an noticed the bloodstains on its hands at a glance.
The beast that guarded the forest seemed to sense Ye Qing'an's gaze, and licked the blood off its hands with a smile: "That human, I swallowed him. Although... I don't think he tasted very good, he was barely edible."
"No human who ventures into the heart of the Monster Forest has ever left alive."
Ye Qing'an sneered: "Is that so? Then I'll be the first one to do so."
The forest beast's gaze swept over Ye Qing'an, then it licked its lips with its tongue: "If it's you, I can make an exception for you and let you stay here to nourish the creatures of this magical beast forest. What do you say?"
"Not at all..."
"Tsk..." The forest-suppressing beast looked rather regretful: "Then I have no choice but to accept it. Let's begin..."
As soon as the Forest-Suppressing Beast finished speaking, countless vines flew out of the forest. Ye Qing'an, having already witnessed the battle between the Forest-Suppressing Beast and Yi Moxu, was prepared.
As soon as the vines flew out, the spiritual energy ball in Ye Qing'an's hand quickly gathered. Ye Qing'an suddenly raised her hand and threw the spiritual energy ball into the air. The spiritual energy ball spun rapidly, and from the spiritual energy ball onwards, the surrounding trees and flowers all began to freeze.
"So you're an ice and snow-elemental sorcerer..." The Forest-Suppressing Beast clicked its tongue. "That man is fire-elemental. Aren't ice and fire incompatible? How did you fall for him?"
The vines were all frozen halfway down the road, and all around Ye Qing'an was a crystal-clear white.
"You may not know this, but there's another concept called complementarity."
"Is that so?" The Forest-Suppressing Beast chuckled. "It seems you two get along quite well. That's perfect. Once I swallow you as well, you can meet inside my belly."
Ye Qing'an scoffed: "Then we'll see whether it's you who dies or I who lives today."
Ye Qing'an gathered her spiritual power at her fingertips, and with a flick of her wrist, an ice blade slashed towards the forest-suppressing beast.
But all that was heard was a sound, and the forest beast caught the ice blade, only shaking its body slightly: "That's it?"
Immediately, the forest-suppressing beast roared, causing the earth to shake and countless stones to fly towards Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an leaped up to dodge, but saw the forest beast suddenly grow much taller and reach out its hand towards Ye Qing'an with lightning speed.
The palm, roughly the size of a small courtyard, slapped directly at Ye Qing'an with incredible speed.
Ye Qing'an reacted extremely quickly, and with a teleportation spell, she arrived behind the forest-suppressing beast.
But suddenly, a metallic sweetness welled up in his chest...
Ye Qing'an clenched her teeth, understanding that this was because the backlash from the spiritual energy had damaged her internal organs.
The more spiritual power she uses now, the more severe the damage to her internal organs becomes.
This forest-suppressing beast is quite large, and its body is made of hard stone. Ordinary attack spells are not very effective against it. Only freezing spells can freeze it and perhaps slow down its movement.
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath, raised her hand, and the spirit energy ball suddenly returned to her hand.
Before the forest-suppressing beast could turn around and discover her location, Ye Qing'an leaped up and landed on its shoulder, then released the spiritual energy ball.
A layer of snow-white ice suddenly began to spread beneath our feet, and the ice layer spread rapidly...
The beast that guarded the forest roared, and its movements did indeed slow down considerably.
However, its body was too large, and to completely freeze it, more spiritual power would be needed.
Fine beads of sweat trickled down Ye Qing'an's forehead, a dull ache throbbed in his chest, and countless drops of blood seemed to surge within him...
Just then, a cry for help suddenly rang out from inside the cave: "Help! I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm going to die..."
Ye Qing'an nearly coughed up blood; it was Jiu Xiao.
She had bought Jiuxiao a lot of time. She wondered how things were going on Jiuxiao's side, and whether he could take Gu Duo's remnant soul away.
Why is he calling for help now?
As Ye Qing'an was pondering this, the attention of the forest-suppressing beast was also largely drawn to Jiu Xiao.
The beast of the forest's expression changed drastically: "Your ally is still in the cave? Why couldn't I sense his presence?"
"Damn it, was it that dragon from before?" The Forest-Suppressing Beast gritted its teeth. "Was that your spirit beast? Because you and it are connected in spirit, I didn't sense its presence? What did you make it do?"
"What did I make it do?" Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Naturally, I made it take away that human remnant soul."
"Impossible." The Forest-Suppressing Beast sneered, "That remnant soul needs the most refined and abundant spiritual energy to nourish it. It will only stay in the place with the best spiritual energy. You simply cannot take it away..."
"Oh?" Ye Qing'an suppressed the metallic taste surging in her chest: "Whether I took it or not, you'll know once you go inside. The place with the most refined and abundant spiritual energy is not here."
"If not here, then where?"
As the forest-suppressing beast spoke, it began to walk toward the cave, but its movements were slightly slowed by the freezing spell.
Before the forest-suppressing beast could even reach the entrance, a white figure darted out of the cave at incredible speed.
What emerged was the Nine Heavens.
Jiuxiao had already transformed into its original form. As soon as it left the cave, its entire body tumbled in mid-air before its gaze fixed on the most conspicuous forest-suppressing beast, and it charged towards it.
Ye Qing'an was struggling to hold on, and seeing this, he only slightly reduced his strength and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiuxiao almost crashed into the Forest-Suppressing Beast. Before the beast could react, Jiuxiao swiftly leaped over its shoulder, picked up Ye Qing'an who was perched on its shoulder, and then hid behind the beast without looking back.
Ye Qing'an was somewhat bewildered by Jiu Xiao's smooth and effortless actions, and could only frown as she turned to look at Jiu Xiao: "What are you doing?"
Before the words were finished, a roar was heard, and then a streak of fire leaped out of the cave...
