125: Lie down beast, hunt down the bear king!

Shui Ying has a bit of cleverness, but not much.

She was especially afraid of pain, and completely surrendered after only a few lightning strikes.

As for her previous move, it was an escape skill she had cultivated.

—She could fuse all her cultivation into a single leaf, then instantly burst forth, silently escaping danger.

Willow trees grow quickly, and with a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast's cultivation, she could immediately grow back within a few years without damaging her cultivation.

If not for this, growing in open water, she wouldn't have been able to safely grow into a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.

Shui Ying honestly returned to the Crystal Green Willow's main body, and the large tree that was about to wither instantly recovered.

Seeing there was nowhere to escape, Shui Ying also chose to sacrifice herself, becoming Su Ye's fifth Soul Ring.

Su Ye didn't need a wood-attribute Soul Ring; water, light, Darkness, space, time.

These five types were his remaining Soul Ring combinations, and also the most suitable attribute combinations for Douluo.

If not for the Primal Chaos Skill requiring a wood-attribute inner core, he wouldn't have needed to hunt wood-attribute Soul Beasts at all.

Finally, relying on the sap of the Crystal Green Willow, Su Ye synthesized a type of Ultimate Wood energy called 'Source of Life', and successfully condensed an Ultimate Wood inner core.

At this point, only the Ultimate Gold inner core remained for the Primal Chaos inner core.

This time, Su Ye's target was Lord Xiong.

In the forest, a Black Shadow moved quickly under the tree shadows like a ghost.

"Hey, wait for me~"

A little girl's childish voice called out from behind the Black Shadow.

That was a little girl in green clothes, about three or four years old, with small arms and hands, unusually fair skin, and chubby cheeks that looked like they hid two large pearls. When she spoke, her cheeks puffed out, making her look incredibly cute.

Of course, this cuteness was only for appearance; the girl was no ordinary person. She sat on a giant crocodile seven or eight meters long, showing no fear.

Willow branches were wrapped around the crocodile's neck, and under the girl's control, the crocodile desperately chased forward.

Swish!

Su Ye suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Shui Ying immediately tightened the willow branches, controlling the crocodile to stop.

Glancing at Shui Ying, Su Ye paid her no mind, his gaze fixed on the beehive on the large tree.

"I..."

Seeing this scene, Shui Ying's face turned pale. She immediately controlled the surrounding vines to wrap herself up, afraid of being stung by a bee.

Although she had undergone sacrifice, under the protection of Su Ye's Yin-Nether energy, Shui Ying's soul was unharmed.

Unlike the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, Shui Ying's plant body would not die after sacrifice, similar to Blue Silver Grass.

With the cultivation fluid irrigation, she recovered a lot of vitality, but her body had taken on the appearance of a four or five-year-old.

Su Ye easily took down the beehive. The buzzing bees rushing towards him were instantly covered by flames, not even leaving ash behind.

Swish!

Su Ye walked towards Shui Ying, lifting her by the back of her collar with one hand. The giant crocodile was prostrate on the ground, not daring to make a sound, its fur trembling.

"Are you really planning to follow me forever?"

His voice was neither cold nor warm.

There were no other people here, so Su Ye's words were naturally directed at Shui Ying.

In Shui Ying's current state, although a large amount of essential sap had been extracted, the energy within her body could still maintain a few thousand years of Soul Beast cultivation.

Su Ye gave her some cultivation fluid and some modified soil. It was estimated that she could recover to ten-thousand-year Soul Beast cultivation in less than a few decades.

But this girl was determined to latch onto him, treating him like a long-term meal ticket, refusing to let go no matter what.

"You've already... done that to me, shouldn't you be responsible?"

(ó﹏ò) Shui Ying said tearfully. If you were fooled by this innocent and naive appearance, you would suffer a great loss. This girl looked harmless on the outside but was cunning on the inside.

Su Ye didn't speak, but just released some lightning towards her. Her soul swayed for a moment, and finally, a puff of black smoke came out of her mouth.

Su Ye said coldly, "Before I stick you in the dirt and freeze you, you have 30 seconds to give a proper explanation."

Shui Ying immediately snapped back to attention, seeming to realize that Su Ye wasn't joking.

Swish!

Green light flickered, and Shui Ying transformed into an even smaller figure, like a little sprite, landing on Su Ye's shoulder.

She widened her adorable big eyes and said sweetly:

"Um, Sister Zi said one can become a god, is that true?"

Staring intently at Su Ye, Shui Ying's watery eyes couldn't hide her fervor.

She loved this kind of thing the most: increasing her cultivation without fighting. As long as she lived long enough, her cultivation could increase indefinitely.

Helplessly... she didn't plan to undergo tribulation.

And in another hundred years, she would have to consider undergoing tribulation or transforming and re-cultivating...

Emmm, how could a weak little girl like her withstand such powerful lightning!

PS: Soul Beasts undergo tribulation after breaking through a hundred thousand years, followed by a thousand years of lifespan. This period is when they need to consider undergoing tribulation or transforming and re-cultivating, not immediately after their cultivation breaks through.

"......"

Su Ye's mouth twitched. He secretly thought 'no wonder'. It seemed Purple Consort intentionally wanted her to stay.

A hundred-thousand-year-old shut-in?

A hundred-thousand-year-old slacker?

You two are truly a match made in heaven!

"What can you bring me?"

Su Ye added, "You better not mention the Soul Ring. If you had been completely willing, I wouldn't be doing something like eating your food and then breaking your pot."

"But you tried to escape and were caught by me. You were forced to sacrifice yourself out of helplessness, and I even spared your life. I've already been extremely benevolent."

"Looking at it this way, it seems I don't need to bring along a burden like you, right?"

Heart-piercing!!

Too heart-piercing!!

Shui Ying pursed her pink lips, almost biting them through. She was filled with regret; if she had known she couldn't escape then, she wouldn't have run.

"However, I can give you a chance now."

Shui Ying was overjoyed. "What chance?"

"Do you see this?"

Su Ye tossed the giant beehive with a diameter of one meter in his hand, his smile quite gentle.

This look...

Shui Ying immediately felt something was wrong. She hugged her round little belly, her heart pounding, and glanced at him nervously, tentatively asking, "Um... do you want me to eat the whole thing?"

Su Ye: "......"

Speak!

Why aren't you continuing?!

Stared at by Su Ye's cold eyes, Shui Ying wisely shut her mouth. This condition, she could actually give it a try.

Trying to freeload off me?

You certainly have wild ideas!!

Su Ye said directly, "Take this honey to the central area and help me call out Lord Xiong."

"If you can do it, I don't mind taking you on as a little follower and letting you become a divine official later."

"If you're afraid of death and unwilling, you can leave now. I won't force you; I can go myself."

Lord Xiong?

You want to make a move on Lord Xiong?

Realizing Su Ye's purpose, Shui Ying's mouth fell open. She almost blurted it out, staring in horror at the young man before her.

Lord Xiong is a fierce beast over four hundred thousand years old. His strength is top-tier in the entire Star Dou Great Forest. Even ordinary hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts can't withstand one of his claws.

Crazy?!

This guy is definitely crazy!!

Shui Ying subconsciously wanted to stay far away from the lunatic in front of her, lest she be affected.
