The Peerless Tang Sect’s Sun and Moon Glory

The southern outer area of ​​the Mingdou Forest.

A deep roar sounded, and countless shrubs, flowers, grass and shorter trees fell to the ground instantly, and a strong dark yellow giant bear appeared.

This giant bear is more than four meters long, with muscles all over its body bulging, and its momentum is astonishing.

Parts of its strong body are also covered with irregular dark yellow crystals. Any plants it touches are covered with the same dark yellow crystals, and then shattered into dust under its terrifying momentum. .

What this giant bear is chasing is a strange spherical metal, with six long metal legs extending below the spherical metal. The long legs have three sections in total, and they shuttle quickly through the dense forest, avoiding the attacks of the giant bears.

It was Xu Zihuang, Orange, and Ke Ke who were riding in the all-terrain detection soul guide.

Xu Zihuang sat in the main control position at the front, holding the metal pole in front of him calmly.

Under his control, the all-terrain detection soul guide was able to make the most accurate and timely response every time, gradually widening the distance between it and the giant bear.

Orange and Keke sat behind him. Orange needed to concentrate on controlling the fifth-level soul guidance shield of the all-terrain detection soul guidance device. Seeing this, he breathed out a sigh of relief.

"A crystal bear with three thousand years of cultivation never expected that such a powerful alien soul beast would appear on the outskirts of the Mingdou Forest."

The Crystal Bear and the Dreadclaw Bear are actually the same type of soul beast, possessing the bloodline of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. It's just that the crystal bear has undergone a weakening mutation. After the mutation, the overall strength is not as good as the Direclaw Bear.

But it is undeniable that this crystal bear is still an extremely powerful soul beast. Although it only has three thousand years of cultivation, it can definitely crush the two-headed Nether Wolf and Red Fire Monkey King that Xu Zihuang and others encountered before.

This is the huge advantage brought by the soul beast's race and bloodline. The race and bloodline are strong enough, and leapfrog challenges are very common.

The Crystal Bear, which has the bloodline of the Dark-Gold Terrorclaw Bear, has outstanding offensive and defensive abilities, and has also mutated into a special ability.

Any living thing that is touched by it, whether it is a plant, a spirit beast or a human being, will crystallize. After being attacked again, it will be smashed directly.

It can be regarded as the ultimate weakened version of Xu Zihuang's second soul skill, Mirror Destruction.

Xu Zihuang's second soul skill, Mirror Destruction, can be locked and released remotely with mental power. In other words, the attack range of his second soul skill is the distance that his mental power can be released.

But if the crystal bear wants to activate this ability, it must touch the opponent.

Obviously, this crystal bear has no long-range attack ability, and it is for this reason that it was easily left behind by Xu Zihuang's all-terrain detection soul guide.

The three of them headed south during this period, traveling for another half month outside the Mingdou Forest. The temperature has risen significantly.

With Xu Zihuang's physical fitness and cultivation level, he was completely immune to the cold and heat, but such a hot, humid and stuffy climate had a considerable impact on Orange and Keke.

Both of them were wearing only a thin piece of clothing, and their bodies were dripping with sweat. The fragrance from their bodies filled the all-terrain detection soul guide.

Unlike Orange, whose plump chest was rising and falling violently and breathing calmly, Keke seemed particularly excited.

"Sister Orange, it's really exciting. I just thought that the crystal bear's paw was about to hit us. This Mingdou Forest is really much more interesting."

The first two-headed ghost wolf, and later the nightmare piranha and other rare soul beasts, plus the crystal bear just encountered, greatly broadened Keke's horizons along the way.

Of course, the reason why she seemed excited rather than feeling a crisis was because she believed that Yu Tianhuang could protect them well.

They had previously encountered a Jade Bird, a flying soul beast with ten thousand years of cultivation. Soul beasts like the Jade Bird were violent by nature and immediately launched an attack upon discovering the presence of Xu Zihuang and the others.

But such a powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beast with the ability to fly was easily defeated by Xu Zihuang alone.

After nearly a month of joint experience, their trust and dependence on Xu Zihuang had grown to an unprecedented level without even realizing it.

"It's exciting. Being photographed by that crystal bear is not fun." Orange said angrily.

"Isn't Tianhuang here? Nothing will happen."

Ke Ke stretched out carelessly and smiled. Although her body is very barren, wearing thin clothes like this still outlines some subtle curves.

At this time, Xu Zihuang controlled the all-terrain detection soul guide to an open area with relatively high terrain, turned around and said to Orange and Keke.

"Senior Orange, Senior Keke, please stop and recover your soul power first.

Keke did not restrain herself at all because of Xu Zihuang's gaze, but continued to stretch her delicate body without caring.

As a girl with a bold nature, she had already figured it out during this time. Anyway, Yu Tianhuang looked at him before, and he was so reserved. Whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Orange's psychology is similar to Keke's, and compared to Keke, she still has strange feelings towards Xu Zihuang. In the end, under the unbearable high temperature and Keke's constant encouragement from the side, they just became 'frank'.

"Tianhuang, please recover your soul power first, and Keke and I will guard the surroundings." Juzi responded lightly before getting up and exchanging positions with Xu Zihuang.

Xu Zihuang nodded and continued to control the all-terrain detection soul guide. Nearly 80% of the soul power in his body was consumed, so naturally he would not shirk it.

However, the space inside this all-terrain detection soul guide is relatively small. When the two people exchange positions, their bodies will inevitably come into contact.

Xu Zihuang's expression remained unchanged, and Orange also remained calm, but her heart was far less calm than Xu Zihuang's.

Xu Zihuang understood Orange's character, so on the night when Orange lost his mind, he took the initiative to say the slightly ambiguous words to test Orange's heart, and then fell silent again.

He knows very well the principle of going too far and not doing enough. Most of the time, Orange is calm. If you want to touch Orange, you must be in a suitable situation.

The smooth touch of skin and the pleasant fragrance of orange lingered in Xu Zihuang's nose.

After changing positions, he happened to see Keke's smiling expression.

"How's it going? Sister Orange's skin is very good. Is it moisturized?"

When she said this, she undoubtedly made the ambiguity of the two people's skin touching just now obvious.

"Keke!" Orange looked back with a blushing face and glared at Keke who was speaking freely.

Xu Zihuang, on the other hand, smiled and entered into meditation practice.

It is definitely not easy to respond at this time. An affirmative answer would be too frivolous, and a denial would be hypocritical.

Keke stuck out her tongue at the orange, indicating that she knew she was wrong.

Orange didn’t delve into it either. Just like that, both Orange and Keke became quiet.

The Mingdou Great Forest is only half the size of the Star Dou Great Forest. According to their estimates, they will be able to come out of the south of the Mingdou Great Forest in about one day.

The closer you get to the south, the more lush the trees become.

When they arrived at the place where the three of them were staying, the sunlight could barely penetrate through the branches and leaves.

The dim light and the growth of miasma allowed them to only see clearly the situation within a few dozen meters around them.

As time went by, the surrounding light mist seemed to gradually become thicker.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Zihuang suddenly opened his shining eyes and reminded in a low voice: "A soul beast is approaching. Senior Sister Orange and I will change places."

Hearing Xu Zihuang's reminder, Orange and Keke were stunned for a moment, and then quickly became alert.

"good."

Under this situation, Orange didn't care about anything else and quickly exchanged positions with Xu Zihuang's skin as they touched each other.

Xu Zihuang grasped the metal control rod again, and the golden light in his eyes suddenly became stronger.

Under the instinct of the Golden Eyes Martial Spirit, he quickly saw clearly the surrounding spirit beasts. Just like what he had seen before when he was multitasking and using his mental power. The individual strength of these soul beasts is not strong, but their number exceeds five hundred.

It was an ant-like soul beast that was very similar to the Thousand Jun Ants, but its body was different from that of the Thousand Jun Ants. It was translucent like crystal. White mist spewed out from the ferocious mouthparts, and blended into the mist with a subtle 'chichi' sound.

Wherever the fog passes, low flowers, plants and trees are withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those vigorous and towering trees were not affected for the time being.

"It's a mutated soul beast again, or a mutated Thousand Jun Ants." Xu Zihuang raised his eyebrows. During this time, he gradually discovered the pattern of mutated soul beasts in the Mingdou Forest.

Those that mutate are usually relatively low-level soul beasts, like the original Nether Wolf and the current Thousand Jun Ants. Of course, this may also be related to the fact that Xu Zihuang and others did not go deep into the Mingdou Forest.

As soon as Xu Zihuang finished speaking, Orange and Keke also saw the densely packed white Giant Ants. The surrounding thick white mist rose, and a vague white mist appeared on the shell of the all-terrain detection soul guide made of a special rare metal alloy.

"This...is this the Giant Ant?" Keke looked incredulous.

"Don't worry so much, leave here first."

Orange immediately released the fifth-level soul guidance shield attached to the all-terrain detection soul guidance device. This is a soul shield to defend against physical attacks. It can also block the formic acid mist spewed by the mutated swarm of ants.

Xu Zihuang responded directly with action. He did not choose to fight the mutated group of ants, but looked for a direction where the white mist was relatively thin and chose to break out.

The swarm of giant ants and the corrosive formic acid mist had little effect on him, but he had to consider Orange and Keke.

If the soul guide shield fails to hold up and the acid mist penetrates, it is likely to cause irreversible damage to the two women's bodies.

After all, this is the kind of corrosive acid mist that has a strong effect, and it is impossible for him to expose the destructive attribute of the second martial soul when Orange and Keke are awake.

The six long metal legs underneath the all-terrain detection soul guide began to rhyme, and the three of them finally escaped from the area without any danger.

After another period of rest, we continued on the road.

It was not until the sky gradually darkened that they finally left the area where the Mingdou Forest was located from the south.

A bright golden light flashed, and the three of them subconsciously looked into the distance.

What appeared in their sight was a golden world. At the end of the horizon, countless bright golden lights were shining, and the sun slowly set under their gaze.

The dimness in the Mingdou Forest and the gorgeous scene in front of them had a big impact on Orange and Keke.

During this trip, they followed the trend of the Mingdou Mountains, passed through the outer areas of the Mingdou Forest from north to south, and arrived at the coast of the South China Sea of ​​the Sun and Moon Empire.

Keke exclaimed: "I didn't expect the sunset on the sea to be so beautiful!"

Orange's eyes were also blurred and he was in a daze.

She originally thought that there was nothing worth remembering in this world, and her life goal was just to avenge her father and bring peace to Xingluo. However, now she found a trace of hesitation in her heart.

It's not because of the beautiful picture in his eyes, but the touches he received from Yu Tianhuang and Ke Ke along the way.

She was no longer alone as before, with only hatred in her heart.

But soon the confusion in her eyes disappeared, and her eyes became firm and a little more bitter.

There was no turning back. And I can't forget that hatred.

Xu Zihuang carefully watched the subtle changes in Orange's face with the corner of his eye.

Although he sympathizes with Orange's experience, or feels the same way, at this stage, he is completely unable to change anything, and even needs to take advantage of the hatred in Orange's heart.

This world is so cruel, as long as you are weak, you can't do anything. He does not claim to be righteous. What he needs to do now is to increase his strength as much as possible and use everything to achieve his goals.

Finally, under Keke's suggestion, the three of them used flying soul guides to arrive at the beach. Just prepare to camp here and spend the night.

The sparkling sea, the bright moon on the sea, and the boys and girls surrounding the bonfire formed a beautiful scene like a picture scroll.

Three tents were set up here, banging loudly in the sea breeze.

It was late at night, and Keke, who had eaten and drank enough, had gone back to the tent to sleep, leaving only Xu Zihuang and Orange sitting opposite each other.

Orange sat on the smooth rock, wrapped his arms around his calves, propped his chin on his knees, and stared at the bonfire in front of him.

Xu Zihuang reminded softly: "It's getting late, and we have to continue our journey back to the academy tomorrow. Senior Orange, please go back to your tent and rest. I'll just keep watch."

Orange, who had lowered his head in silence for a long time, finally raised his head and looked at Xu Zihuang, and the thousands of words brewing in his heart finally turned into a sweet smile.

"Tianhuang, thank you."

After saying that, she turned around and got into the tent. There seemed to be a variety of emotions in the smile, all of which were silent.

Until now, both parties have maintained a special tacit understanding. She didn't take the initiative to mention her past, and Yu Tianhuang also didn't ask about it.

But the next time they meet, the two sides may be on the battlefield.

Although her goal is only to level Xingluo, there is no direct conflict with Yu Tianhuang, who is a member of the Tianhun Empire. But once the war starts, it is no longer her decision. An invasion of the Tianhun Empire, which is weaker than the Star Luo Empire, is inevitable.

Xu Zihuang stood up quietly, and after watching Orange's back disappear, he looked towards the southern sea with deep eyes.

Everything went as he expected. When the time is right, he will also need to return to Yueshu Island.
