Chapter 151 The girl’s blushing warmth is better than any love words.
Xue Ke bit her lip slightly, somewhat afraid to meet Qian Renxue's gaze.
"I don't want it, let me save him quickly."
"."
The blonde girl seemed not to hear and just looked at Xue Ke's conflicted expression.
Until the Sword of Promised Victory in Artorius's hand suddenly shone brightly, and the golden light enveloped his whole body. The blood finally stopped oozing from his body and mouth, and his ferocious face became calm again. It was obvious that he had survived the most dangerous stage.
Artorius was struggling in the severe pain coming from all parts of his body, and his consciousness was getting weaker and weaker. Just when he thought he was going to die, suddenly, a golden light began to spread from his right hand, and the originally violent power was instantly smoothed out and began to run obediently along the designated route.
Although he didn't know what happened, his crisis seemed to have passed. This was Artorius' last consciousness, and then his mind sank into the absorption of the soul ring.
After a while, Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes, loosened the strength in her hands slightly, and let her go.
"Feel sorry."
She smiled gently and said, "I was a little distracted just now."
Hearing this, the girl who was thinking about confronting Qian Renxue just now, suddenly froze with a resolute expression on her face.
The gentle and elegant blonde girl stretched out her finger and tapped Xue Ke's shoulder. The golden chains on her body immediately turned into golden light and dissipated.
"It's just a little joke. As a genius with full innate soul power, how could he not be able to overcome the physical limit of a mere 100 years? You see, Artorius's martial spirit can really protect its master automatically at the critical moment."
He was a time traveler who possessed a holy sword. If he died so easily, it would only prove that he was nothing special and had no value to be used.
Qian Renxue's tone of voice remained as calm as ever, as if she had not done anything just now.
--joke?
Xue Ke's legs went limp and she sat on the ground, gasping for breath. Her nervous brain was unable to react for a moment and she took a long time to recover.
This... this is the end of the story? She thought someone had to die today.
Are you kidding me? Do you think I can believe it?
"So that's how it is, ha, haha"
Xue Ke didn't continue to dwell on what happened just now. She covered the hem of her skirt and responded very obediently.
But in fact, her back was already wet with cold sweat, and she was obviously very panicked.
Seeing Qian Renxue turn around and sit back beside the fire with her back to her, Xue Ke calmed down. Qian Renxue was too strong, and now she could only be controlled by her. She also had not obtained her Life Gold, and she also needed Qian Renxue's help for her new battle armor.
But what she didn't know was that when the blonde girl with a gentle smile turned around, she glanced slightly in the direction of Xue Ke. Her gentle face, as warm as the spring breeze, revealed an obscure meaning, as if she was thinking about something.
Xue Ke straightened up and sighed helplessly. Qian Renxue, this guy, turned the Douluo Continent upside down with her own strength and overturned the relationship between the two empires and the Spirit Hall. Not only was her own ability dangerous and cunning, but her personality was also completely frigid.
Today he finally said that he liked me, but it was a pity that I missed it. However, Xue Ke did not regret it. It would be better to say that she is now on the right path.
If she had the power, would she still need to look at Qian Renxue's face? After all, she was too weak.
She was too complacent. At least she should not regard the cooperation in transactions as a transformation of their relationship. Xue Ke had always felt that Qian Renxue had some mental problems.
Xue Ke was still thinking about how to control the big boss behind the scenes who was still in a dormant period. While thinking, she stretched out her hand and drew in the air in front of her. The originally calm air soon rippled, and a translucent floating window appeared, which probably only she could see in this world.

As shown in the character attribute panel, as a reborn person, she has lived in this world for more than 20 years, but her experience now is different from that of Xue Ke in her previous life. She has become the platinum bishop of the Spirit Hall and the right-hand man of Qian Renxue, the woman whom she loved as much as she watched anime in her previous life, but now hates as much as she does.
Because this Qian Renxue is not the normal Qian Renxue, she is the Qian Renxue who can beat a group of time travelers alone!
The system's explanation for this made Xue Ke blush on the spot. It said that Qian Renxue might be a different type.
That’s right, [Yi Ge]!!!
Different squares was originally a term in chess, referring to two elephants in different squares, which will never touch each other.
Arknights players' conclusion on [Alien] is... another form of a game character, the growth experienced by an operator, or another side of an operator.
For example, Margaret Linguang, in her original form, was a tough heavy-armored operator who protected her companions with a shield after leaving Casimir, and her skill was the ability to heal teammates.
The other character is the brilliant knight Lin Guang, who has undergone a major growth transformation after returning to Casimir and winning the Knight Special Championship Duel.
Therefore, Yige Linguang holds a sword and a spear, instead of the original shield.
As for the love-brained Qian Renxue in the original Douluo Continent, she went undercover into the Tiandou royal family at the age of nine, poisoned Xue Qinghe to death and then took his place. As the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, she could not practice as she pleased, which wasted her talent for practice.
Her original youth was all wasted on playing Xue Qinghe, but this Qian Renxue is different. After going through various sabotage plots by other time travelers, she has experienced significant growth and transformation, from the love-brained and impulsive Prince Tiandou to the ambitious young master of the Spirit Hall who only desires power.
She became an evil careerist.
The most important transformation of Qian Renxue is that she did not go undercover in the Tiandou royal family. Qian Renxue did not waste her talent after becoming an alien, and her combat power became too terrifying because of her talent.
Xue Ke's amber eyes were filled with extreme anger. The girl's red warmth was better than any love words. Damn, Ye Feng, Jun Wuhen, Xiao Yuan, you three from the Spirit Hall really deserve to die! Look at what you have raised her to be?
She has six sets of equipment! Big brother!
Each of these time travelers is feeding the tiger with their own body! ! Their teammates are not strong enough, and Xue Ke is simply the ultimate pressure-resistant queen. Without her, they will die sooner or later, and die by being squeezed out.
Because she is well aware of the dangerousness of the alien Qian Renxue, unlike Xue Ke in her previous life who was caught off guard and taken advantage of, although she is now trying every means to take down the big boss Qian Renxue, she has left more than one backup plan for herself... The strength that is currently exposed and known to everyone in the entire Gengxin Main Hall is just a soul power that barely reaches level 20.
She had already used the power of the system to upgrade her battle armor to a two-word battle armor. The ores made by Qian Renxue could also be sold to the system in exchange for points. Although they were sold very cheaply, the quantity was large, and she stole a lot of them with Qian Renxue's tacit understanding.
Although there are many restrictions on the use of the battle armor due to the soul power cultivation, a momentary burst can allow her to instantly escape the sight of the Soul Emperor. After all, the lower your own soul power level is, the more soul power levels it can cross.
Saving your life comes first, strategy comes second!
This was the battle strategy she had set for herself from the very beginning.
Anyway, now——
The key is to make Qian Renxue feel comfortable first and save Artorius' life.
By the time Artorius woke up from the operation of his soul power, it was already noon the next day.
As soon as Artorius opened his eyes, he saw Xue Ke walking towards him with dark circles under her eyes. She squatted down and looked at him with an inexplicable look, sighing, "Thank God, you finally absorbed it."
"You almost never woke up." Qian Renxue stood behind Xue Ke, with a soft smile on her face, and said softly in a gentle voice: "We are very worried, so we should not take such risks next time, okay?"
Xue Ke curled her lips. "Are you still worried? Are you worried about why he's not dead yet?"
But she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to use the method of mental victory and pretend that she didn't hear it.
Artorius was touched and a little guilty. He scratched his head and said with embarrassment: "Sorry, it's my fault this time. I made you worry."
Xue Ke blinked at Artorius, coughed, and asked, "So, what is the effect of your first spirit ring?"
Artorius understood in his heart. Sister A Ke had already instructed him before she came that he should not reveal the full effect of his first spirit ring and must keep it secret.
Although he didn't know why A Ke hid it from Qian Ling'er, he still felt closer to and trusted A Ke. She was his stepmother who took him to eat and drink well!
Artorius said quickly: "My first soul skill is the Wind King Barrier." He clenched his palms, and a circle of yellow soul rings rose from under his feet.
Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows, "Where is your martial spirit? Is it hidden?"
Artorius smiled and nodded, explaining, "My first soul skill gives my martial soul the ability of wind attributes. It can make the wind wrap around the Sword of Promised Victory and change the refraction of light, so that the shape of the sword can be invisible to others. In addition, this wind attribute can also enhance the sharpness of my martial soul."
Xue Ke curled the corners of her mouth. She didn't expect that he actually possessed the wind attribute. However, this seemed to be no different from the soul skills of Artorius in his previous life.
Qian Renxue smiled and encouraged, "Really? Congratulations! This ability to hide the sword body can prevent the enemy from grasping your attack distance in close combat, and can also increase the lethality of close combat. How much soul power does it consume?"
Artorius felt it for a moment, then said, "This soul skill consumes very little energy, and can be used permanently during combat."
Xue Ke looked at him with satisfaction, "Very good, with sustained top-notch attack power, you are now a very good offensive spirit master."
Artorius sighed, "Although the soul skills do not consume much energy, the soul power of my martial soul is consumed too much, which is a fatal flaw."
If he really uses his first soul skill, two shots from the Wind King's Hammer will consume all his soul power. If he uses the Judgment Field, it will be even more useless after just one shot.
Artorius's soul ring has been obtained, and the next ones are Xue Ke's soul ring and the gold of life.
Thinking of the Gold of Life, Xue Ke hurriedly said: "Since you are done, that is the next target. Everyone follow me. The Gold of Life is hidden in the mixed area. If we go now, we can get it directly."
If it is too late, the gold of life will be found by the ferocious beasts and placed in the Lake of Life in the core area.
After lunch, the three of them continued on their journey.
Qian Renxue walked in front, while Artorius and Xue Ke formed a triangle behind.
Qian Renxue, who was the first to enter the forest, was suddenly surrounded by a golden halo. The golden light completely enveloped her body and quickly dissipated around her. Because it was too bright, Qian Renxue's body could not be seen at all.
Artorius cried out in surprise. How could the Angel Realm be used to detect the environment? Could his Judgment Realm be used in this way? Thinking of this, he was eager to try it out.
Entering the Star Dou Great Forest again, Xue Ke and Artorius soon felt unprecedented ease. They didn't need to do anything more but just move forward.
The golden light in front slowly spread outwards like threads. On the surface, the golden light did not seem to have any power, but it spread very far and soon exceeded Artorius's perception and vision.
Artorius vaguely understood that this ability was similar to Huo Yuhao's mental detection. Once the golden light was touched, Qian Ling'er should be able to make some judgments based on the circumstances. Although it would not be as accurate as mental detection, with Qian Ling'er's cultivation as a Soul Emperor, the information she could detect was not much different.
"Let's go." The golden halo that spread around had disappeared, and Qian Renxue's voice came from the front, but the golden light covering her body was still there, and her figure was still not visible.
Qian Renxue followed Xue Ke's instructions and kept changing the route ahead, which increased her speed a lot. She didn't even encounter any attacks from soul beasts during the process.
In less than half an hour, they had already penetrated more than ten kilometers into the Star Dou Great Forest, but Qian Renxue had no intention of slowing down.
The shape of the Star Dou Great Forest itself is naturally irregular. Its widest point is approximately over 200 kilometers, and it covers an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers. It is the undisputed No. 1 forest in Douluo Continent. Its area is even larger than some provinces in various countries. Moreover, even Titled Douluo-level strongmen dare not pass through its center.
With the continuous exploration of the soul master community, the Star Dou Forest has been divided into several areas according to the strength of the soul beasts that appear. The outermost radius of 20 kilometers is called the outer area.
Generally speaking, soul beasts only remain active for ten, one hundred, or one thousand years, and ten thousand years is rare. Next is the mixed zone, which occupies about 40% of the maximum radius of one hundred kilometers. It is also the area with the most soul beast species and the longest cultivation years in the Star Dou Great Forest.
It is mainly the habitat of hundred-year, thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts. If a hundred-year soul beast wants to live in this area, it needs to rely on the power of the clan.
The innermost radius of 40 kilometers, or 80 kilometers in diameter, is called the core area of the Star Forest.
Although this area is quite vast, the number of soul beasts living there is far less than that in the mixed area.
This is because all the soul beasts that can live here are powerful. Hundred-year soul beasts are almost extinct in this area, and even thousand-year soul beasts are not numerous.
Ten thousand year soul beasts are the main theme, and occasionally you can also see the terrifying figure of a hundred thousand year soul beast. According to the research of the Spirit Hall, a soul beast that can own a small territory in this area must have a cultivation base of at least thirty thousand years.
The area with a diameter of 10 kilometers at the center of this area with a diameter of 80 kilometers is called the life forbidden zone, which is where Daming and Erming live. In the not very detailed map of the Star Dou Great Forest, this area is always marked by bright red blood color. There, one hundred thousand year old soul beasts live.
Qian Renxue knew that in addition to the hundred thousand year soul beast, there were also terrifying ferocious beasts hidden there.
After a while, Qian Renxue was disgusted by the fact that the two were moving too slowly, so she picked up one of them with one hand and quickly moved forward.
A few days later, they finally arrived at the mixed zone.
Looking around, there are large trees everywhere. It is not completely dark yet and you can still see the dense treetops covering the entire field of vision.
Xue Ke said excitedly: "Follow me, I'm hiding in a valley."
At this moment, suddenly, a sharp roar sounded in the distance, but the strange thing was that this sound made them feel as if their whole body's soul power was flowing smoothly.
This is……
What a strange feeling?
Qian Renxue's eyes flickered pink, and she whispered, "There's a valley in front of you on the left, right there."
"That's where the sound came from. Let's go and take a look." Xue Ke said to Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue released a soul power barrier. The soul power emanating from her not only enveloped herself, but also the two people behind her. Both of them immediately felt much safer, at least without the tension they had just felt when they arrived in the mixed zone.
After passing through the woods, they saw a valley in front of them just as Qian Renxue had said. The valley was also lush and green, but before they got close to the edge of the valley, a powerful soul power fluctuation was heard along with a childish roar.
Qian Renxue approached the edge of the valley and looked into the valley. The other two did the same and followed her.
Xue Ke's pupils shrank slightly, staring at the weak soul beast in the valley, "It's a ten thousand year old palm bear, and that soul beast, how is this possible?! Why did it appear at this time? Has it been born?"
The palm bear was more than eight meters tall, covered with brown hair, with brown eyes and a large white 'V' pattern on its chest. The strange thing was that there was a faint light flowing on the pattern. Although the palm bear was not fast due to its size, it was very powerful.
In the valley, roars could be heard continuously. A ball of golden light was rapidly colliding with the powerful ten thousand year old palm bear, like a small sun. Every collision brought up a small air wave, which showed that its power was not small.
However, the palm bear was too huge to be shaken by the small ball of golden light. But the strange thing was that in the face of the painless attack, the powerful palm bear was retreating carefully.
That ball of golden light contained a strange soul beast.
The whole body of this soul beast seemed to be translucent crystal, full of strange texture. Its overall shape looked like a lion, but its four claws were like dragons, and there was a ball of golden flames under each dragon claw.
Its mouth is also longer than that of lion-like soul beasts. Under its hair, there seems to be fine golden scales. In addition to its normal two eyes, it actually has a third eye. What's strange is that its third eye has a vertical pupil.
The two normal eyes were shining with gold, but the vertical pupil was red, with a bit of a strange red color.
