Chapter 383 No Escape
She stared blankly at the Level Nine Emerald Snake struggling in pain on the ground, then turned to look at the agile figure who had just rescued Lu Yu.
It was a slightly immature face, but already handsome, with a firmness and courage revealed between his brows.
Dugu Yan was a little stunned for a moment. She had never expected that someone would appear at this critical moment and save Lu Yu in such an amazing way.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
While Dugu Yan was stunned, Lu Yu's movements did not stop at all.
He swiftly swung the Fantian Seal in his hand, smashing it hard at the Level Nine Emerald Snake on the ground again and again.
Every time it hit, there was a dull thud, and the body of the Level Nine Emerald Snake trembled.
"The first one!"
Lu Yu roared, and the Fantian Seal fell down again with a whistling sound.
"Second time!"
Cracks had begun to appear on the body of the Level Nine Emerald Snake, but it was still struggling tenaciously.
"The third time!"
This time, the Fantian Seal hit the ninth-level emerald snake hard on the vital point, which is the snake's vital point.
The body of the Level Nine Emerald Snake trembled violently, then completely collapsed to the ground, motionless.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yu dispersed the golden light on his body and put away his martial soul and spirit ring.
He had just been through a great battle, but there was no sign of fatigue on his face.
He stood there, looking at the Level Nine Emerald Snake on the ground, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"It's really hard..."
Lu Yu exclaimed in amazement.
He did not use the two powerful skills of thunder magic and talismans, nor did he use the miraculous external soul bone such as the right metacarpal bone of the golden-haired lion mastiff.
He simply relied on the Golden Light Curse, the strength of his body, and the Fantian Seal in his hand as a weapon to attack.
But even so, the Level Nine Emerald Snake still managed to withstand four hits from him before losing its combat effectiveness.
No wonder this soul beast is said to have a body as tough as steel, it really lives up to its reputation.
Of course, if Lu Yu opened fire at full power, he would be fully capable of rendering the Level Nine Emerald Snake incapable of combat with just one strike.
But he didn't do that.
Because Dugu Bo might be watching secretly somewhere.
If Dugu Bo discovered that he possessed such a precious treasure as the external soul bone, it is hard to say whether he would not kill someone to seize the treasure.
Moreover, the two powers of thunder and talismans cannot clearly explain their origins and principles.
It is very likely that Dugu Bo would associate it with the skill of the soul bone and cause unnecessary trouble.
"Are you OK?"
Lu Yu turned to look at Dugu Yan and asked with concern.
Although he had been concentrating on dealing with the attack of the Level Nine Emerald Snake, he also noticed that Dugu Yan had been standing aside and had not left.
"I...I'm fine."
Dugu Yan answered in a daze.
She had just been shocked by Lu Yu's heroic performance and had not yet recovered from that state.
"That's good."
Lu Yu nodded and said, "By the way, why did you come here alone? It's very dangerous here."
"I...I'm here to look...for something."
Dugu Yan said hesitantly.
She didn't want to tell Lu Yu that she was looking for the precious medicinal herb, the Millennium Ice Heart Fruit, because that might bring him danger.
"Looking for something? Looking for something?"
Lu Yu asked curiously.
He did not notice Dugu Yan's strangeness and concealment.
"No...nothing."
Duguyan shook her head and said, "It's just some unimportant things."
"Oh."
Lu Yu did not continue to ask.
Everyone has their own secrets and things they don't want others to know.
Since Dugu Yan doesn't want to say it, he won't force her.
"By the way, what's your name?"
Dugu Yan suddenly asked.
She felt that she should thank the person who saved her life.
"My name is Lu Yu."
Lu Yu smiled and replied, "What about you? What's your name?"
"My name is Dugu Yan."
Dugu Yan also replied with a smile.
She felt that there was an inexplicable tacit understanding and closeness between herself and Lu Yu.
"Duguyan...what a good name."
Lu Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for not leaving me alone just now."
"You're welcome."
Duguyan shook her head and said, "You saved my life, I should thank you."
"Haha, we are helping each other."
Lu Yu smiled and said, "By the way, what are you going to do now? Are you going to stay here and look for something or leave here with me?"
"I...I'd better stay here and look for something."
Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment and said.
She didn't want to give up the opportunity to find the Millennium Ice Heart Fruit.
Although it was dangerous here, she believed that as long as she was careful, there shouldn't be any big problems.
"OK then."
Lu Yu did not force her to leave with him.
“Just be careful.
If you are in danger, please call for help and I will come as soon as possible."
"Ah."
Dugu Yan nodded and said, "You should be careful too."
After saying this, the two of them went their separate ways.
Lu Yu turned around and walked in the direction he came from, ready to leave the dangerous forest.
Dugu Yan continued to go deeper into the forest to search for the whereabouts of the thousand-year-old Bingxin Fruit.
On his way out, Lu Yu secretly felt lucky that he could meet the kind girl Dugu Yan today.
If it weren't for her, I might have been bitten to death by the ninth-level emerald snake.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel deeply emotional.
At the same time, he also strengthened his determination to work hard to improve his strength.
Only in this way can we better protect ourselves and those around us from harm.
On the other side, Dugu Yan continued to go deeper into the forest to search for the Millennium Bingxin Fruit.
She found a thousand-year-old Ice Heart Fruit that exuded a faint chill in a hidden cave.
The moment Dugu Yan saw the Millennium Ice Heart Fruit, she couldn't help but reveal excitement and excitement in her eyes.
She knew that she had found this precious medicinal herb and could go back to treat her grandfather.
So she carefully picked the thousand-year-old Ice Heart Fruit and prepared to leave the cave.
However, just as she was about to leave, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave.
Immediately afterwards, a huge figure rushed out from the darkness and headed straight towards Dugu Yan.
"Oh no! It's a soul beast!"
Dugu Yan was startled and quickly turned around and ran away.
She knew that she was no match for this soul beast and that the only way to save her life was to leave here as soon as possible.
However, the soul beast did not seem to want to let her go and kept chasing after her.
Dugu Yan looked back while running and saw that the soul beast was getting closer and closer and was about to catch up with her.
"How to do how to do?"
Dugu Yan was extremely anxious and she didn't know what to do to escape the pursuit of this soul beast.
At this moment, a familiar figure and voice suddenly came from the front: "Don't be afraid! I'm here!"
Dugu Yan was delighted when she heard that. She looked up and saw Lu Yu running towards her quickly with a sword flashing with cold light in his hand.
"Lu Yu! Why are you here?"
Dugu Yan asked in surprise.
She didn't expect Lu Yu to appear at this time to save her.
"I just happened to pass by here and saw you being chased by a soul beast, so I came to help."
As Lu Yu spoke, he swung the sword in his hand and slashed at the soul beast.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sword collided with the soul beast's body, making a series of metal clashing sounds.
Although the soul beast was extremely ferocious, it gradually fell into a disadvantage under Lu Yu's attack.
"Great! Lu Yu, you are so amazing!"
Dugu Yan was overjoyed when she saw this, she knew she was saved.
With the help of Lu Yu, Dugu Yan successfully escaped from the pursuit of the soul beast.
The two of them left the dangerous cave together and headed towards the Dugu Yan family.
On the way back, the two of them gradually became familiar with each other as they walked and talked.
They shared their experiences and stories and talked about their respective dreams and pursuits.
Dugu Yan discovered that Lu Yu was not only powerful but also kind-hearted and helpful.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Lu Yu was also moved by Dugu Yan's bravery and strength and felt that she was a friend worth making.
The two returned to Dugu Yan's family together and handed the Millennium Ice Heart Fruit to Dugu Yan's grandfather.
Dugu Yan's grandfather was very happy and relieved to see his granddaughter return safely and bring back the precious thousand-year-old Bingxin Fruit.
He thanked Lu Yu for saving his life and invited him to stay in his family's home for a few more days so that they could treat him well.
Lu Yu couldn't refuse the invitation from Dugu Yan's family.
A few days later, Lu Yu had to leave Dugu Yan's family and continue his cultivation.
Although I feel a little reluctant, this is the reality I have to face.
The night before leaving, Dugu Yan found Lu Yu and they sat in the family garden and chatted.
We talked a lot about each other's dreams and feelings for each other.
"Lu Yu...will you...will you miss me in the future?"
Dugu Yan suddenly asked, her voice trembling slightly, obviously a little nervous.
"of course."
Lu Yu smiled and replied, "You are one of my best friends, how could I not miss you?"
"Then...will you come to see me again in the future?"
Dugu Yan continued to ask.
"of course."
Lu Yu nodded and said, "I will come to see you as long as I have time."
Hearing Lu Yu's answer, Dugu Yan felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Standing next to the nine-section jadeite shining with emerald green luster, Lu Yu's gaze involuntarily turned to the graceful Dugu Yan standing not far away.
At this moment, the girl was staring at him with her eyes as clear as water, and the whole world stood still.
Lu Yu was wearing a patched coarse cloth, which formed a sharp contrast with Dugu Yan's gorgeous and tight outfit.
Although he was dressed simply, his eyes revealed a calmness that did not belong to his age.
He blinked his eyes, deliberately disguising his gaze as innocent and lively as a child's, hoping to get closer to Dugu Yan in this way.
He asked, "Hey, are you okay?"
Hearing Lu Yu's greeting, Dugu Yan came back to her senses from her previous contemplation.
She didn't know what she was thinking just now, but she felt her face getting slightly hot and her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.
She replied somewhat incoherently: "No...it's okay...thank you!"
Lu Yu waved his hand gently and said, "You're welcome. It's just a small favor."
He then pointed at the still struggling Nine-Section Emerald and said, "This soul beast is not dead yet. If you want its soul ring, you'd better act quickly!"
It is indeed surprising to hear an eight-year-old child speaking such experienced words in a childish voice.
But Lu Yu didn't care about these. He had only one thought in his mind: to get closer to Dugu Yan as soon as possible so that he could plot against the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire in the future.
However, looking at Dugu Yan's shy and timid appearance, Lu Yu couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.
How did the painting suddenly become a story of a hero saving a beautiful girl? Dugu Bo, the old fox, must be observing everything in secret.
Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Something's wrong!"
Lu Yu muttered to himself, "I clearly wanted to establish a good relationship with Dugu Bo through Dugu Yan, why did it turn out like this now?"
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Dugu Yan called out to him from behind: "Wait... wait!"
Lu Yu turned his head with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
He thought to himself, "Is this woman going to marry me?"
But on second thought, it seems unlikely.
After all, given Dugu Yan's personality and status, she shouldn't make such a rash decision.
Sure enough, Dugu Yan pointed at the Nine-Section Emerald with some embarrassment and said, “Young Master… I don’t know this kind of soul beast and I don’t know how it is cultivated.
Can you tell me what kind of soul beast this is?"
Lu Yu shook his head and said, "I only know it's called Nine-Section Jade, and it's extremely poisonous.
But as for its age... I'm not sure."
"But judging from our fight just now, its cultivation level should not have exceeded two thousand years."
Lu Yu then added.
Hearing this, Dugu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up as if she saw hope.
She stared at Lu Yu and said, "Can you tell me something more about this soul beast? For example, where is its weakness? How can I defeat it?"
Lu Yu couldn't help feeling a little proud when he saw Dugu Yan's eager eyes.
He deliberately kept it a secret and said, "Well... you need to figure it out on your own.
After all, the world of soul beasts is complex and ever-changing, with no fixed rules at all."
"But..."
Lu Yu changed the subject and continued, "If you want, I can go exploring with you.
Maybe we can find some useful clues."
Dugu Yan couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this.
She originally thought that Lu Yu would reject her request but she didn't expect that he would agree so readily.
She looked at Lu Yu gratefully and said, "Really? That's great! Thank you, my dear!"
Lu Yu smiled and nodded and said, "You're welcome.
Let’s go now!”
So the two of them walked towards the Nine-Section Jade, one in front and one behind.
Dugu Yan followed Lu Yu closely as if she had found a reliable support.
"That's right, little sir."
Dugu Yan suddenly asked, "What's your name? My name is Dugu Yan, and I'm the eldest daughter of the Dugu family."
"Oh, my name is Lu Yu."
Lu Yu answered casually.
He did not tell Dugu Yan his true identity and origins because in this world people are more circumspect than others so it is better to be cautious.
"Lu Yu...what a nice name."
Dugu Yan whispered softly as if she wanted to engrave this name deeply in her heart.
The two of them walked and talked and soon came to the Nine-Section Jade.
At this time, the soul beast was dying but still struggling tenaciously.
"It seems that it doesn't want to give up easily."
Lu Yu said lightly.
He looked at Jiujie Feicui's eyes that were filled with hatred and unwillingness, and a feeling of pity rose in his heart.
"But that's okay."
He then said, "I'm going to help you put an end to this."
Having said that, Lu Yu was ready to take action.
However, at this moment Dugu Yan suddenly stopped him: "Wait! Let me try!"
Lu Yu looked at Dugu Yan in surprise, not knowing what she wanted to do.
Dugu Yan took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, as if he was performing some mysterious ritual.
After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes with a determined light flashing in them.
She shouted, "Third Soul Skill - Green Phosphorus Snake Fang!"
I saw a green light shooting out from her fingertips and heading straight for the Nine-Section Jade.
This light contained strong toxins and corrosiveness, and it immediately began to corrode the body once it came into contact with Nine-Section Jade.
The Nine-Sectioned Emerald roared in pain but it could no longer escape.
Under Dugu Yan's attack, its body was gradually corroded and turned into a pool of green pus.
"It's done!"
Dugu Yan cheered excitedly.
