Qin Ming led Long Chen and others into the Sunset Forest.
Their goal is to find a thousand-year-old soul beast with self-healing abilities to help Ye Lingling obtain her third soul ring and further enhance her healing abilities.
They went deeper into the forest and gradually approached the area where the thousand-year-old soul beasts might appear.
Suddenly, a sturdy shadow leopard covered with dark stripes suddenly jumped out of the woods.
Its eyes were like two cold stars in the abyss, flashing with ferocious light.
Qin Ming quickly reminded everyone:
"Everyone be careful, it's the Shadow Demon Leopard that has cultivated for a thousand years!"
Leopard soul beasts have good self-healing abilities. This shadow demon leopard's cultivation has reached the thousand-year level, and it is exactly the target soul beast they are looking for on this trip.
Seeing this, Long Chen released his Dark Night Magic Harp martial spirit without hesitation and protected Ye Lingling behind him.
Yu Tianheng also released the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial spirit, and the power of thunder and lightning surrounded him, with great momentum.
Dugu Yan's Green Phosphorus Snake martial spirit also quietly possessed her body, ready to attack at any time.
Graphite, Shimo, Yufeng and Osro also released their respective martial spirits.
Several people quickly surrounded the shadow demon leopard.
The Shadow Demon Leopard is agile, like a ghost in the dark, with extremely fast speed and difficult to deal with.
It roared and pounced on Oslo, who was closest to it.
Osro has the Ghost Leopard Martial Spirit and is very fast. He dodged the attack by just turning sideways.
Just then, the sound of a piano rang out.
As Long Chen released his second soul skill, a huge nine-tailed fox appeared above the head of the shadow demon leopard.
The Shadow Demon Leopard's speed suddenly slowed down and its eyes became blurred.
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng immediately released his power of thunder and lightning.
Blue-purple snake electricity kept exploding on the Shadow Demon Leopard, paralyzing its whole body.
Several others also seized the opportunity and launched an attack on the Shadow Demon Leopard.
Under Long Chen's restraint and the siege of several people, the Shadow Demon Leopard gradually lost its strength and fell to the ground.
"Lingling, go and give it the final blow."
"good."
Ye Lingling took a step forward and swung the sharp blade in her hand, hitting the Shadow Demon Leopard's throat.
The Shadow Demon Leopard was completely dead.
After the battle, Qin Ming walked towards the crowd.
He did not take any action against the shadow demon leopard that had been cultivating for a thousand years, just to train the team's coordination ability.
"You performed well and cooperated very well."
Several people smiled at each other.
Ye Lingling said:
"Are you injured anywhere? I'll treat you."
"We're fine. Lingling, adjust your state and prepare to absorb the spirit ring."
A wisp of mist slowly rose from the corpse of the shadow demon leopard and gradually condensed into a thousand-year soul ring emitting purple light in the air.
After Ye Lingling adjusted her state, she pulled the soul ring over and prepared to absorb it.
The others also took a short break.
Long Chen quickly recovered to his best condition.
He originally wanted to stay by Ye Lingling's side and watch her wake up from absorbing the soul ring.
But now, he has more important things to do.
"Teacher, it will take some time for Lingling to absorb the spirit ring. I want to pick some herbs nearby."
Qin Ming looked around.
It doesn't seem like this is a place where old soul beasts often appear.
"Go ahead, but don't go too far. Just stay close to here."
"good."
Dugu Yan came to Long Chen and said with a smile:
"Teacher, Xiaochen and I will go together."
"I'll go too. It's easier to look after them with more people."
Yu Tianheng also came over.
Qin Ming thought for a moment, nodded, and said:
"Be careful, don't go too far, mark the path along the way, and return immediately if you encounter any danger."
"Yeah, we got it."
The three of them responded and left the team.
Long Chen walked in front and went straight to the center of the forest.
He knew that as long as he found the Green Phosphorus Snake Venom Formation set up by Dugu Bo, he might attract Dugu Bo's attention.
The three of them walked forward, going further and further away, and getting closer and closer to the center of the forest.
Yu Tianheng suddenly said:
"Have we gone too far?"
"The herbs I'm looking for aren't found outside the forest. Don't worry, I've marked them along the way, so you can just return along the way later."
"Okay. But let's not go too far, otherwise the teachers will get worried."
"Well, let's try to get back before Lingling finishes absorbing the spirit ring."
The three continued to move forward.
Suddenly, a strong soul power fluctuation came.
Yu Tianheng's face changed, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart.
"There's someone nearby."
"Yeah, I felt it too."
Long Chen felt a gloomy and terrifying aura.
Dugu Yan looked around, a complicated expression on her face.
Suddenly, a chilling green figure appeared in front of the three of them.
The icy breath caused the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees instantly.
Seeing that figure, Dugu Yan was startled at first, and then showed a look of joy.
"grandfather!"
The person who came was Dugu Bo.
He was dressed in a black robe, his face was stern, and his eyes were shining with wisdom.
Dugu Bo frowned when he saw Dugu Yan and asked:
"Yanyan, why are you here?"
Dugu Yan hurried forward, hugged Dugu Bo's arm, and said coquettishly:
"Grandpa, I was just about to ask you, why are you here?"
"I'm here to find some herbs."
"What a coincidence, we are here to look for herbs as well."
After Dugu Yan finished speaking, she pointed at Yu Tianheng and Long Chen and introduced them:
"Grandpa, these two are my teammates. This is Yu Tianheng, from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and the captain of our school team. This is Long Chen, the master who made the detoxification pills I mentioned to you before."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo glanced at Long Chen and Yu Tianheng with a bit of doubt and vigilance.
"Yanyan, are you here specifically to look for herbs? Are there just the three of you?"
"No. We are here to obtain the third spirit ring for our teammate Ye Lingling. We have already killed the spirit beast. While she is absorbing the spirit ring, we are accompanying Long Chen to look for medicinal herbs."
Dugu Bo nodded, his gaze lingered on Long Chen for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He naturally knew how difficult the poison that Dugu Yan was poisoned with was, and it was indeed not easy for this young man in front of him, who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, to refine a detoxification pill with a certain detoxification effect.
Before this, Dugu Bo had already heard Dugu Yan mention Long Chen.
However, he was always arrogant and didn't take Long Chen seriously.
When he saw Long Chen at this moment, he found that there was an indescribable feeling about this young man.
"Boy, the elixir you refined has some inhibitory effect on the green phosphorus snake venom in Yanyan's body. Who did you learn it from?"
Dugu Bo looked at Long Chen, his cold gaze making people's heart frightened.
But Long Chen was not afraid at all, and said calmly:
"I learned this at an ordinary medical clinic in Tiandou City. It's not worth mentioning."
