Han Li turned his head and glanced at Dugu Yan, who had been somewhat excited since entering the forest.

"Let's go, that's perfect. I also want to try out how strong I am after my martial soul evolves. Before, my soul skills were only auxiliary, and even in a fight, I could only rely on the poison of my martial soul to slowly wear down the opponent. But now, I am also a strong attack-type combat soul master."

As Dugu Yan was speaking, the shadow of her martial spirit and its wings had already appeared behind her. The flame-winged snake spirit hissed and spit out its tongue, as if to show her fighting spirit.

"Okay, then until we reach the mixed zone, I'll rely on you, Sister Yan, for my protection."

Han Li raised the two swords in his hands, whose light had been completely hidden, and made a gesture to sheath them.

"No problem, then you have to follow me closely."

Dugu Yan blinked at him and took the first step forward.

Han Li smiled and followed closely behind her, and the two of them moved towards the depths together.

After going deeper for a while, Han Li, who had been continuously monitoring his surroundings with his mental state, felt extremely exhausted.

Duguyan's performance in the field was not ideal, this was the personal evaluation given by teacher Han Li. After just one hour, Han Li couldn't help but frown after following her.

Relying on the strength of her evolved martial soul, which was still quite powerful in this periphery, and the speed of her first soul skill after mutation was relatively fast, Dugu Yan fought one by one on the way forward, and any caterpillar that passed by would be burned by her before she was done.

Although she did not kill these weak soul beasts directly and still abided by the unspoken rules among soul masters, there were at least eight if not ten low-level soul beasts with injuries to their legs and abdomens. Han Li walked along the way, smelling burnt and bloody odors.

"Okay, Sister Yan, stop. If you keep going like this, I'm afraid we'll enter the mixed zone and besiege a large number of soul beasts."

Han Li stopped her bestial behavior in time.

"Oh, okay, I'll stop now. I'm getting a little too excited."

Her excitement was interrupted, and she finally realized what she had done along the way, and stopped her behavior somewhat embarrassedly.

"Okay, let's keep moving forward. Your martial spirit has a higher field of vision, so you will be on guard against any movement around you. If any weak spirit beasts appear, drive them away. We need to speed up."

Han Li looked at the sky and found that if they moved faster, they could still resist the camp he had set up last time and save some trouble.

"good."

Dugu Yan, who had calmed down, finally performed at her normal level and began to recall all the wilderness survival knowledge she had learned. The two began to move forward quickly.

On the way, after entering the mixed zone, they encountered two more attacks. This time, with Han Li's advance warning and Dugu Yan putting away his playful thoughts, the battle ended extremely quickly.

After the evolution of her martial soul, the fire element attached to Dugu Yan's martial soul was already powerful. In addition, the speed of her first soul skill was fast and could be fired continuously. Without Han Li's help, she was able to exert considerable combat power on her own.

A shadow leopard about 1,300 years old and a dark crow about 1,800 years old suffered a great loss at the hands of Dugu Yan at the first encounter. They were crippled in the first moment and their mobility was damaged. They were subsequently bombarded by continuous lava beams.

Dugu Yan only ran a little and easily dealt with the two soul beasts. This also made her clearly realize how big the gap was between her past self and her present self. Up to now, she had only used her first soul skill.

"Well, not bad, but they are still too weak. We can't detect anything, and they can't give you any pressure." Han Li poured a basin of cold water on her, fearing that she would return to the state she was in when she first entered the forest.

"I know, you don't need to remind me."

Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at him. On the way here, she heard Guang Ling talk about Han Li's battle record. When he just reached level 20 and had not yet obtained a spirit ring, he was able to deal with two spirit beasts that were more than two thousand years old on his own. It only took a little more time to kill them without any damage.

If it were a month ago, she might have been complacent about it and wanted to let the entire Tiandou Royal Academy publicize this achievement on her behalf. But now, she just wants to become stronger so that she can keep up with Han Li.

Although, even now, she has not seen Han Li take action personally, but just the suppression of her martial soul by the aura leaked out when the martial soul possessed her, and the black first ring of ten thousand years were enough to prove his strength.

Not to mention, apart from hearing that Sword Douluo could fly with a sword, she had never seen any weapon spirit master who could create a flying spirit skill before reaching the third ring.

(She didn’t know whether Jian Douluo’s flying ability was a soul skill, as the abilities of soul masters on the mainland were kept secret.) Moreover, this time when she obtained the soul ring, she would definitely be able to see Han Li take action, and she was looking forward to it.

Glancing at Dugu Yan, who seemed to be thinking about something after talking to him, Han Li waved his hand in front of her eyes, then looked at the sky which was already darkening.

"Okay, follow me. The camp ahead should be ready for use after a little work."

After saying that, he slightly adjusted the direction and took Dugu Yan towards the last camp location.

The campsite was not far away. According to his estimation, it was less than ten minutes' walk away.

The sky darkens in the forest a few points faster than outside.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Of course, this was also due to the lush trees around them. They had only been on their journey for three minutes when the darkness seemed to have deepened to a deeper degree than before.

Because of the possession of the martial spirit and the fact that Dugu Yan's mental strength was not strong, she could not completely converge the light. In this environment, she was like a moving light bulb while walking, very conspicuous.

"Sister Yan, why don't you put away your martial spirit first? There will be more powerful predators in the forest at night. We should hurry to the camp first to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Han Li, who was used to hiding himself, was a little uncomfortable with this treatment. He turned his head to look at Dugu Yan beside him.

"good."

Dugu Yan nodded obediently.

In fact, it was not just Han Li. After walking for a distance, she also felt something was wrong. Her current state was no different from deliberately provoking those soul beasts.

But without the help of her martial soul, her night vision ability was not outstanding. But since Han Li said so, she would just put away her martial soul.

"Um, Sister Yan, wait a moment. Your opponent is here. Take care of him first. I'll help you hold the fort."

Han Li suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed forward.

Dugu Yan's expression instantly became serious, and he entered a combat state, his eyes fixed on the darkness ahead.

Her mental power is not as strong as Han Li's. Perhaps after the evolution of her martial soul, it has improved to a certain extent, but it is only slightly higher than that of the same level, and is still far from being able to provide long-range early warning.

While she was on full alert, Han Li had already restrained his breath and hid behind a tree. This was a battle she had to go through, and he was only responsible for her safety.
