Douluo: Reincarnated to a Dragon Egg Hatched by the Silver Dragon King

"It's fine, I'm just curious~"

Ye Feng rubbed his chin, looking at Zhu Zhuqing with a clear hint of mischief in his eyes.

"No... stop touching!"

Zhu Zhuqing clenched her tail, lightly stomped her foot, and felt a bit flustered inside.

She strongly suspected that Ye Feng was thinking of something very perverse.

"Alright, alright~ I won't touch anymore~"

Ye Feng repeatedly assured her.

"Hmph... You better not..."

Zhu Zhuqing let out a small huff before turning around to continue leading the way for Ye Feng.

However, she kept a distance of at least three meters from Ye Feng to avoid being "ambushed" by him again.

Of course, Ye Feng didn't try to sneakily touch her anymore.

After all, there was plenty of time.

Touching her once wasn't that interesting anyway.

The two continued deeper into the forest. Although Zhu Zhuqing was leading the way, it was Ye Feng who directed their path.

Zhu Zhuqing was puzzled but didn't ask too many questions, trusting Ye Feng completely.

Generally speaking, trying to find a specific Soul Beast in the Sunset Forest was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

But Ye Feng had a rough idea of the location and had also utilized the "Child of Nature" ability, directly using the plants of the Sunset Forest to locate the "Ghost Tiger," making it much simpler.

Even though Ye Feng had never seen a Ghost Tiger before, as long as he could describe it roughly, he could filter through the memories of countless plants to find a similar one.

In just half an hour, Ye Feng had already pinpointed the location of the Ghost Tiger.

There were quite a few Ghost Tigers in the area, but only one was 5,000 years old—the strongest one—and its lair was near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, no more than ten kilometers away.

Before long, the two arrived at the base of a cliff, where a dark, damp cave lay ahead. Faint roars could be heard from within, clearly indicating the danger inside.

"Ye Feng, why are we here...? It looks really dangerous..."

Zhu Zhuqing stared at the bottomless cave ahead, feeling an inexplicable fear. She instinctively retreated behind Ye Feng.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing was still a girl. She could fight fiercely against powerful Soul Beasts, but she had an innate fear of dark, oppressive environments, which made her hair stand on end.

Only by Ye Feng's side could she feel a sense of security.

"If I remember correctly, there's a Soul Beast called the Ghost Tiger in this cave. It has a powerful cloning ability, making it perfect for your fourth Soul Ring," Ye Feng explained.

"Is that so? Then can we not go in? Is there a way to lure it out?" Zhu Zhuqing nodded but still didn't want to enter.

The cave seemed a bit too small, and she felt like she wouldn't be able to move freely inside.

Moreover, she had no idea where the cave led. If they were ambushed from both ends, it would be very dangerous.

"That works too."

Ye Feng nodded, agreeing with Zhu Zhuqing's idea.

He wasn't particularly afraid, but the cave was indeed quite disgusting. Even standing outside, he could smell a faint stench of feces and urine.

If they went deeper, it would undoubtedly be even worse.

However, through his perception, Ye Feng could clearly sense that the 5,000-year-old Ghost Tiger was indeed inside, and there were no other Ghost Tigers around.

After all, the Ghost Tiger had an extremely high territorial instinct. As the saying goes, "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers." This was the territory of this Ghost Tiger, and it naturally wouldn't allow another Ghost Tiger to encroach upon it.

"Step back a bit. I'll control it, and when the time comes, follow my lead to deliver the finishing blow."

Ye Feng waved his hand, signaling Zhu Zhuqing to step back to avoid getting hurt.

"Alright!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing quickly retreated.

However, she had already summoned her Martial Soul, clearly ready to strike at any moment.

Ye Feng approached the cave entrance and immediately conjured a fireball, hurling it into the cave ahead.

The fireball was only the size of a ping-pong ball, but the moment it entered the cave, it exploded, expanding thousands of times in size and completely engulfing the entrance.

"Boom—"

A deafening roar echoed at that moment, and the entire cave shook violently.

"Crash—"

The entrance was blown to pieces, and a large amount of rubble slid down from the mountain wall, nearly sealing the entrance completely.

"Roar—" Just then, a furious roar erupted from the blocked cave.

Three seconds later.

The rock-covered cave entrance exploded.

"Boom!!!!"

A massive black-striped tiger, over six meters long, burst out from the cave, charging straight at Ye Feng.

This giant black tiger was the 5000-year cultivation "Ghost Tiger" that Ye Feng had sensed through various plants! The distance between them was about twenty meters, and as it pounced, it split into four identical clones.

The four clones crisscrossed hundreds of times in the span of half a breath, then closed in on Ye Feng from five different directions, making it difficult to discern which one was the real body.

However, this trick was full of flaws under Ye Feng's "Starry Eyes" and was utterly useless. Ye Feng could see the real body at a glance.

But even without the "Starry Eyes," Ye Feng wasn't particularly worried.

In the next moment, a terrifying chill erupted from beneath Ye Feng's feet.

"Buzz—"

The extreme cold spread rapidly from Ye Feng, colliding head-on with the five Ghost Tigers.

"Crack, crack, crack—"

The moment the chilling cold met the five Ghost Tigers, it erupted into a massive sheet of ice, firmly freezing all five in place.

The four Ghost Tiger clones, lacking energy to sustain them, disintegrated into nothingness, leaving behind only empty shells.

Only the Ghost Tiger on the far left remained, frozen stiff in place.

Although the ice layer was only a thin centimeter thick, the hardness of this extreme ice was comparable to diamond. Not to mention a mere Ghost Tiger, even a Ten-thousand year soul beast would find it difficult to break free.

Moreover, the terrifying cold continued to seep into the Ghost Tiger's body, gradually stiffening its limbs.

"Zhu Zhuqing, aim for its head."

As soon as Ye Feng spoke, the ice covering the Ghost Tiger's head melted away, exposing its skull.

"Roar—"

The Ghost Tiger opened its mouth, letting out a weak roar.

The extreme cold had left its body rigid, making it impossible to let out a full roar. Its eyes were filled with terror.

"Whoosh—"

In the next instant, a figure flashed in front of the Ghost Tiger's head like a teleportation.

"Netherworld Instant Hell Kill!"

The moment Zhu Zhuqing appeared, a terrifying slash erupted simultaneously, landing heavily on the Ghost Tiger's head.

"Pfft—"

The terrifying slash directly split the Ghost Tiger's head in two, but there was no splattering of brain matter as one might expect.

Because the moment the Ghost Tiger's head was cut open, it was frozen by Ye Feng's ice.

Cleanly severed.

Neat and tidy.

Instant death.

"Well done."

Ye Feng walked over and reached out to ruffle Zhu Zhuqing's head, focusing on her cat ears, which were fluffy and soft, making them very pleasant to touch.

"It's all thanks to you..."

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned red, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise.

After all, she had mostly been on the sidelines, only delivering the final blow. Without Ye Feng, she would have had no chance against the Ghost Tiger.

"Alright, hurry up and absorb it. This Soul Ring was specially prepared for you, and it's definitely a good fit."

"After you absorb it, I'll give you another gift."

Ye Feng pointed at the purple Soul Ring that had burst out.

"Okay!"

Zhu Zhuqing also knew that if she didn't absorb the Soul Ring quickly, it would disappear. Without saying much more, she quickly sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring in front of her.

At the same time, she looked forward to the gift Ye Feng would give her, certain it would be another pleasant surprise.
