Chapter 17: Chapter 17
As the Thousand Poison Centipede lunged forward, the Black and White Lightning Eagle let out a long cry to the sky. Immediately, two bursts of dazzling thunder erupted from its white wings.
"Boom!"
The two bursts of thunder exploded from within, releasing countless tiny lightning snakes that attacked the Thousand Poison Centipede, sending it flying away.
Freed momentarily, the Black and White Lightning Eagle immediately tried to soar into the sky. However, just as it took off, the wounds on its wings rapidly turned purple at a visible speed, and the blood oozing out turned black, indicating a deep poison.
Flapping its wings a few times, the Black and White Lightning Eagle descended from the sky, landing on the ground, where it began to tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing this, the Thousand Poison Centipede immediately pounced, using its long body to coil around the eagle, while its pincers and mouth clamped down on its neck.
The Black and White Lightning Eagle struggled fiercely, rolling around with the centipede in the forest, trying to break free. However, the moment it was bitten by the centipede, it was injected with countless deadly toxins. If not for the robust body of a soul beast, it would have died of poisoning long ago.
Gradually, its struggles became weaker and weaker until it lay motionless on the ground.
The Thousand Poison Centipede, cautious as ever, continued to entangle its prey tightly, exerting more and more force. Even from a distance, Ye Chen could hear the sound of bones breaking.
About a stick of incense later, the Thousand Poison Centipede slowly released the Black and White Lightning Eagle, preparing to feast.
But at that moment, the supposedly lifeless Black and White Lightning Eagle suddenly opened its eyes, and then, it spewed out a huge black lightning bolt from its mouth, piercing through the Thousand Poison Centipede's head.
With that, the Black and White Lightning Eagle finally fell to the ground, unable to rise again. Even though it wasn't dead, it couldn't move anymore.
The damage inflicted on the Thousand Poison Centipede was fatal, but its vitality was surprisingly strong. Even without its head, its thousand-meter-long body continued to writhe on the ground, as if venting its resentment.
Watching the two soul beasts fighting to the death, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel lucky. He had just gained a thousand-year soul ring for free?
With a smile on his lips, Ye Chen didn't hesitate and jumped down from the tree, heading towards the two dying soul beasts.
At the same time, another figure from another direction almost followed Ye Chen and arrived beside the two soul beasts.
The two strangers looked at each other, and both could see the caution in the other's eyes.
The extra person was a young woman with short golden hair, proportionate body, and a beautiful face. She was no less attractive than Zhu Zhuqing or Ning Rongrong. Compared to them, she exuded a mature charm.
"I've been watching these two soul beasts for half a month. Step aside," the woman said imperiously, with a hint of disdain in her tone, as if Ye Chen didn't even have the qualification to look at her.
To this, Ye Chen shrugged and said, "Two thousand-year soul beasts, how about we each take one?"
At this, the beautiful woman sneered, "Ridiculous! Where did you find two thousand-year soul beasts? Your vision is so low."
"Not thousand-year soul beasts?"
Ye Chen rubbed his eyes and carefully examined the two soul beasts with his hand. Embarrassingly, he laughed.
It turned out that only the Thousand Poison Centipede was a thousand-year-old soul beast, while the Black and White Lightning Eagle, despite having more than nine thousand years of cultivation, was not a thousand-year-old soul beast.
"Cough, cough!"
Coughing lightly to relieve the embarrassment, Ye Chen spoke again, "The thousand-year-old soul beast belongs to me, and the eagle seems suitable for you."
With that, he prepared to finish off the Thousand Poison Centipede and absorb its soul ring completely.
"Do you think you can absorb a thousand-year-old soul ring with your 30th-level soul power? Aren't you afraid of bursting?" The woman blocked Ye Chen's path, releasing her soul power without concealing it, revealing a 40th-level soul power.
"I told you they don't belong to you. Leave now, or I won't be polite."
"You!"
Encountering a man so audacious for the first time, the beautiful woman's fair face showed a hint of anger, but she had no solution.
She had to get the soul rings quickly, or everything would be lost if the soul beasts died.
But just thinking about the embarrassing state she would show when absorbing soul rings beyond her limit, the beautiful woman became hesitant.
Taking a sneak peek at Ye Chen, she found that this guy, despite being a bit of a rascal, was exceptionally handsome. Maybe she could tolerate him if she killed him afterward.
With a firm resolve in her eyes, the beautiful woman moved aside and quietly walked to the side of the Black and White Lightning Eagle. Drawing out a delicate dagger, she swiftly killed the soul beast. Then, a purple light ring rose, and she sat down quietly to absorb it.
Seeing this, Ye Chen didn't hesitate either. He summoned the Abyssal Gate and cut off the last breath of the Thousand Poison Centipede, then began to absorb it as well.
Although the soul power produced by the system was extremely pure and had strong tolerance, the energy carried by soul rings with high age limits could still burst Ye Chen. One reason he forcibly suppressed his soul power after every ten levels was to withstand higher-age soul rings.
As long as the soul rings were within Ye Chen's tolerance range, the absorption process would be extremely smooth and quick.
After a few minutes, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes. Three purple-black soul rings spread out from him, indicating that his absorption was complete.
Stretching his body slightly, he suddenly heard a tearing sound in his ears. Ye Chen thought a soul beast was nearby and quickly turned to observe.
But when he looked, he froze in place.
Beside him, the beautiful woman's clothes had somehow been torn apart, revealing her stunning figure completely naked in front of him.
Beautiful, so beautiful.
Uncontrollably, nosebleeds flowed out. Although the beautiful woman didn't have Zhu Zhuqing's sexy figure, her body had inexplicably grown two adorable fox ears and a fluffy tail, which made her even more attractive and impossible to look away from.
