Chapter 0109: Jade Armor Rhino

After arriving near the vicious beast, Xie Wufeng did not act but instead, Huo Zhong rushed forward alone and killed the leopard with several strikes, displaying immense brutality.

Under Qin Yun's search, from noon until nightfall, they managed to kill over twenty vicious beasts.

At night, they came to the foot of a high mountain, dug out a cave, and entered it to rest.

Inside the cave, they lit a fire and cooked vicious beast meat to eat.

"Twenty vicious beasts in just half a day; if this continues, your storage spirit artifact won't be able to hold any more," Murong Daren said worriedly.

"We'll see when we get there!" Xie Wufeng looked at Qin Yun and asked, "What is the current state of your Purple Gold Fire Martial Soul? Since I don't have a martial soul, I've done some research on them. The process of separating a martial soul from its host is extremely painful. If your martial soul disappeared without that pain, it means it's still within you."

Murong Daren said, "Boss Xie, Little Brother Yun's martial soul died... isn't that different?"

Xie Wufeng shook his head, "Death means separation from the body, which is equivalent to being detached from the soul, and the process would still be very painful."

Qin Yun secretly admired Xie Wufeng and nodded, "The martial soul is indeed still within me, but it's experiencing a bit of an issue... akin to hibernation."

Huo Zhong laughed heartily and drank a bowl of wine, "As long as it's still there!"

Qin Yun smiled bitterly, "Based on my own speculation, it needs a lot of energy to awaken again. Right now, I can only absorb fire inner strength through my mind."

Xie Wufeng shook his head, "No amount of energy will make your martial soul awaken! If I'm not mistaken, your martial soul is currently blank but hidden with fire attributes, right?"

Qin Yun showed surprise and nodded.

Xie Wufeng frowned, looking at the flames and stirring the pot of meat soup, saying, "Little Brother Yun, your martial soul is in an optimal state for evolution! This isn't just about advancing one level!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them were slightly moved, their eyes filled with surprise as they looked at Xie Wufeng.

Xie Wufeng continued, "It's said that in a certain stage of the Martial Path, such a state might appear! But you've experienced it early, meaning you can evolve again when you reach that stage!"

Murong Daren was astonished, "Evolve and then evolve again? Wouldn't that make the martial soul incredibly powerful? Boss Xie, how can Little Brother Yun's martial soul evolve now?"

Xie Wufeng was also excited, staring at Qin Yun, "You need to find a stronger martial soul to fuse with! Your currently dormant martial soul already has a foundation in fire attributes. By fusing with another attribute, it can become a dual-attribute martial soul!"

If Qin Yun, who already had a vibration martial soul, obtained a beast martial soul attribute, he would possess a triple-attribute martial soul, which sounded terrifying.

"Of course, this cannot be rushed, because you need at least a Purple Gold-level martial soul, which is usually easier to find among beast martial souls," Xie Wufeng added.

"Boss Xie, how can you be so sure? What if it's not possible?" Murong Daren chuckled, "Don't mislead Little Brother Yun!"

Xie Wufeng smiled slightly, "Because I couldn't awaken a martial soul, but later unexpectedly cultivated this state, which allowed me to have a martial soul now, and it's very special."

Murong Daren, about to drink, put down his bowl, shocked.

Qin Yun believed that Xie Wufeng must have had a fortuitous encounter and worked hard enough to seize the opportunity, which made him so powerful.

Huo Zhong patted the surprised Murong Daren, "Second Murong, what is your martial soul? We still don't know! What about Xiao Yuelan's martial soul? Do her parents even know? Because it's too powerful! My martial soul is the White Gold Bull Martial Soul, which you all know."

Murong Daren laughed heartily, "My martial soul is confidential! What about that demoness Xiao Yuelan's martial soul? Do you know? Even her parents don't know, why? Because it's too powerful! My martial soul is of the same level; I'm afraid it might scare you!"

He raised his wine and looked at Qin Yun, asking, "Little Brother Yun, I remember Xiao Yuelan is engaged to you, right? She's your fiancée!"

Qin Yun silently took a sip of wine and sighed, "The Tian Xiao Empire decided to marry Xiao Yuelan to Qin Zhengfeng, so this engagement is off! In six months, they will hold the engagement ceremony in the palace of Tian Qin."

"Six months? We should definitely cause some trouble then, don't let them proceed smoothly," Murong Daren laughed.

Qin Yun thought the same, but it required sufficient strength; otherwise, attending wouldn't help.

They rested for the night, and at dawn, they started hunting vicious beasts again.

Since Qin Yun could locate vicious beasts, they were confident they could secure first place.

Their only worry was whether their storage spirit artifacts would be large enough to hold the vicious beasts' corpses.

After Huo Zhong had just killed a wolf, he wondered, "Why are there so many vicious beasts here?"

Vicious beasts are bloodthirsty, attacking both humans and demonic beasts.

Many demonic beasts are herbivores, and even if they are strong, they have low aggression and avoid humans unless threatened, in which case they retaliate. It's said these demonic beasts have awakened intelligence and focus solely on cultivation to transform into humans.

"I always feel that since the Blue Spirit Star Palace appeared, there have been more vicious beasts. Is there a connection?" Murong Daren lifted the vicious beast and handed it to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun had just stored the vicious beast when he suddenly sensed a mental fluctuation coming from a demonic beast.

"There's a demonic beast nearby!" Qin Yun said solemnly, "Its strength isn't weak; it should be a Seventh-Rank demonic beast!"

"There's no need to worry; with our combined strength, defeating a Seventh-Rank demonic beast shouldn't be a problem," Xie Wufeng said calmly.

Sure enough, the ground trembled slightly, and the approaching demonic beast broke through several trees.

It was a jade-white rhinoceros!

"A Jade Armor Rhino, a Seventh-Rank demonic beast!" Qin Yun exclaimed, noticing many wounds on the rhino, including bite marks and claw marks.

Huo Zhong was about to attack, but Qin Yun hurriedly shouted, "Wait, Third Huo, don't attack yet!"

Qin Yun learned much about demonic beasts from Ding Tianchun and became more sensitive to their emotions after interacting with the Lin Steel Tiger.

This Jade Armor Rhino was severely injured but showed no intent to fight.

Qin Yun said, "Jade Armor Rhinos are herbivorous and won't attack humans or other beasts. We don't need to attack."

"Little Brother Yun, this is a Jade Armor Rhino, worth many crystals!" Murong Daren, looking at the surrounded rhino, said anxiously, "It's heavily wounded; Third Huo could finish it off with a few strikes."

Qin Yun shook his head, "Some demonic beasts understand human nature. If we can avoid attacking, let's do so. It's bleeding too much; I'll help stop the bleeding first!"

He had been saved by the Lin Steel Tiger twice before, so he also liked this spiritually attuned beast very much.

He walked over, took out white powder, and sprinkled it on the Jade Armor Rhinoceros's multiple wounds, quickly stopping the dripping blood.

The Jade Armor Rhinoceros let out a few low howls, perhaps in gratitude to Qin Yun.

It turned around, facing a direction as if preparing for a fierce battle.

Qin Yun slightly frowned, using his mental power to sense that direction, and murmured, "It's a pack of vicious beasts! The Jade Armor Rhinoceros is being pursued by the vicious beasts!"
