Suddenly, a distant and urgent voice sounded in the darkness.
"Shi Jiu, Shi Jiu, wake up quickly..."
A gap in the darkness gradually widened, and light came in from the gap.
"Shi Jiu, you're finally awake. It's great. You worried me to death just now!" The slightly transparent body of the Da Chi Sword Emperor appeared in front of him.
"Senior Sword Emperor, what's wrong?" Shi Jiu opened his eyes, but he was still confused.
"You suddenly broke into a cold sweat just now, muttering something in your mouth, calling Brother Li, existence... well, what else went back to the previous life, which shocked me." The Great Red Sword Emperor stared at Shi Jiu and said, "What? Do it? Nightmare?"
Shi Jiu thought for a while and shook his head: "I had a dream. It was a long dream."
"Oh? What dream? I'm a little curious. It's the first time I saw you dreaming, and you were sweating coldly." The Great Red Sword Emperor asked with a smile.
"It's nothing. I dreamed that I would marry a wife and have children, and my life would be wonderful. But then the dream shattered, and then I heard your voice." Shi Jiu gave a simple answer, but did not tell the whole story.
Shi Jiu still remembered everything in the previous dream, but part of the biggest secret in his heart was not revealed to the Sword Emperor. For example, in the dream, he got married and had children in the previous life. Of course, this does not mean that Shi Jiu does not trust the Sword Emperor. Senior, this kind of thing seems too unbelievable to anyone. Even if he told Senior Sword Emperor, he might not believe it. In addition, Shi Jiu did not want Senior Sword Emperor to look at him in a special way.
"Get married, have children, and live a happy life... OK, this is the life that ordinary people hope for most!" The Great Red Sword Emperor seemed a little intoxicated: "I think back then, if I had not embarked on the path of cultivation, I would probably have been a winner in life, for sure. There are also many children and grandchildren, maybe the descendants have been passed down for dozens of generations by now."
"Senior Sword Emperor, do you regret your choice back then?" Seeing the intoxicated look of the Da Chi Sword Emperor, Shi Jiu became curious and couldn't help but ask.
After listening to Shi Jiu's inquiry, the Great Red Sword Emperor turned his head and glanced at him, and then said: "Regret? Of course not. Becoming a strong martial artist has been my dream since I was a child. I have never regretted my choice. Different choices lead to different lives. , the so-called winners in life are different.”
"Senior Sword Emperor, were you considered a winner in your previous life?"
Shi Jiu's sudden question made the Da Chi Sword Emperor stunned. After a while, he answered: "Well, it can be counted or not."
"Senior Sword Emperor, is your answer a bit ambiguous? What does it mean to count or not?" Shi Jiu asked confusedly.
"It can be regarded as because my dream of becoming a powerful person in the soul realm has come true, but it cannot be regarded as because there are many things I want to accomplish that I have not been able to accomplish, which has become a regret."
"Oh? Senior Sword Emperor, what else have you not been able to complete? Do you want me to complete it for you in the future?" Shi Jiu became even more curious.
In Youlong Continent, the soul-level warriors can be regarded as the top combat power. There is almost nothing that the soul-level warriors cannot accomplish. If there is anything, it probably involves other soul-level warriors. To be able to accomplish something that even the Great Red Sword Emperor, who is among the best among soul realm experts, cannot accomplish, must be extraordinary, and this also attracted Shi Jiu's interest.
"You? Forget it. You have just entered the Soul Realm and you are starting to think about helping me, a strong Soul Realm, to get rid of the underworld beast outside Shuilin City that is harming the common people." The Great Red Sword Emperor Shake his head.
"What? Get rid of the underworld beasts outside Shuilin City?" The last words of the Da Chi Sword Emperor made Shi Jiu confused.
"Why, you won't forget it, right?" The Da Chi Sword Emperor stared at Shi Jiu with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "This is what you said yesterday, that you wanted to eliminate harm for the people of Shuilin City and kill those people. Why didn’t you just forget about the fourth-level underworld beast that killed civilians, the gold-painted bear, after you had a good sleep and had a sweet dream?"
Shi Jiu nodded sheepishly.
"You guy, I thought you were wrong!" Da Chi Dao Huang pretended to be angry.
"Senior Sword Emperor, don't be angry. I just forgot for a moment, but I still have to do it. We will go there early tomorrow morning." Shi Jiu said, patting his chest.
"Well, that's right. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."
In the early morning of the next day, Shi Jiu, under the guidance of the Great Red Sword Emperor, flew towards the mountain forest where the golden bear was located.
It didn't take long for them to fly to a valley where the golden bear often hangs out.
"Senior Sword Emperor, are you sure that the gold-painting bear will definitely come back here?" Shi Jiu was a little confused.
The valley was hazy and silent. Except for the mist in the distance, not even a bird could be seen, let alone the huge golden bear.
"Don't worry, it will definitely appear. Didn't the villagers say before that the beast always comes out of this valley and harms everything in the village." The Great Red Sword Emperor disagreed, "Wait a minute, are you following me? I pretended that you were the one who asked the villagers the most questions yesterday, why have you forgotten all about it now?"
"Oh? Really? I don't have any impression at all." Shi Jiu felt a little uneasy, but he didn't know where the uneasiness came from.
"You guys, do you still want to kill that beast?" The Great Red Sword Emperor was a little displeased.
"Kill, of course, we are all here, why do we come back empty-handed?" Shi Jiu immediately flattered him.
"Well, let's just wait here. The beast will definitely show up."
"Okay, everything depends on senior." Shi Jiu nodded.
Half an hour later, there was a dull sound of footsteps from the other side of the valley, and soon a huge figure appeared in the mist in the distance. As the figure got closer and closer, the mist could no longer hide its true appearance, and a three- to four-meter-tall gold-painted violent bear appeared in front of Shi Jiu's eyes.
"Be careful, that beast is coming." The voice of the Great Red Sword Emperor rang in Shi Jiu's ears.
At this time, Shi Jiu stared closely at the gold-painted bear that was walking slowly not far away, not daring to be distracted for a moment.
The gold-painted bear didn't move very fast, but its aura was very domineering. It not only dispersed the surrounding fog, but even added a dangerous atmosphere to the air.
"Sure enough, it's a level four underworld beast!" As the golden bear approached, Shi Jiu saw clearly the four golden textures on the opponent's chest.
The fourth level of the underworld beast is equivalent to the realm of strength among human monks. Since the underworld beast is innately physically stronger than the human race, and the golden bear is the best among them, in a one-on-one situation, the underworld beast often has the absolute upper hand. Upside. Now that Shi Jiu had just entered the power realm, he was definitely not a match for the gold-painted bear in front of him one on one, but fortunately he had helpers.
Shi Jiu felt at ease with the Da Red Sword Emperor by his side.
"Little guy, do you still remember the tactics we formulated before?" The voice of the Great Red Sword Emperor sounded again.
"Remember, I'll attract the opponent's attention, and you, senior, will set up the formation, and then introduce the golden bear into the formation." Shi Jiu nodded.
"Okay, wait until it gets closer, then go and attract attention."
After saying that, the Da Chi Dao Emperor began to secretly prepare the formation, while Shi Jiu saw the right moment and rushed out with a single stride, and then directly threw the prepared stones in his hand towards Bao Jin Bao, who was walking slowly on all fours. Bear.
"Big guy, what are you doing there? I'm here!" Shi Jiu taunted the gold-painted bear to attract his attention.
On the opposite side, the gold-painted bear was stunned for a moment by the stone hitting its head, and then heard a provocative voice in front of it. He raised his head and looked forward, and saw a humanoid creature spitting fragrance at him.
Although he didn't understand what Shi Jiu was saying, the arrogant look on his face made the golden bear understand. As expected, it became furious. First it roared and roared, and then it stared fiercely at Shi Jiu directly in front of him. , and then rushed towards Shi Jiu like an earthquake.
"Damn, are you so angry?"
Shi Jiu didn't expect that he could completely irritate the gold-painted bear with just two simple actions. He couldn't help but feel a little bit tongue-tied in his heart, but his movements were not slow. The flying wings behind him had already opened at the first moment. Flying into the air.
"You stupid guy, come after me!" Shi Jiu did not forget his mission and continued to provoke.
With the blessing of flying wings, Shi Jiu is almost confident and does not worry about being caught by the opponent. But the next moment he regretted it.
Sure enough, the gold-painted bear below became even more furious. He directly lifted a huge boulder beside him and threw it towards Shi Jiu in the air.
"Damn, you're serious!"
Shi Jiu narrowly avoided the rapidly flying boulder and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Stop talking and just pretend to be struck by lightning!"
Shi Jiu was frightened for a moment, so he stopped taunting the gold-painting bear with words. Instead, he used his own advantages to hover in the air to attract the opponent's attention. At the same time, he also looked at the big red sword emperor on the other side from time to time.
In the valley, the furious gold-painted bear kept throwing huge rocks at Shi Jiu's position, and its roar shook the entire valley.
Just when Shi Jiu was tired of dealing with the various rocks flying at high speed, the Da Chi Dao Emperor on the other side also prepared the formation, and then made a gesture towards Shi Jiu.
"It's finally set up!" Shi Jiu was overjoyed when he saw the ready gesture from the Great Red Sword Emperor, and then spoke a burst of words to the gold-painted bear below.
Without any surprise, the golden bear chased Shi Jiu towards the direction of the Great Red Sword Emperor.
In a moment, the gold-painted bear entered the trap area, and then under the control of the Great Red Sword Emperor, an energy array suddenly appeared. Blue-white energy barriers on all sides instantly surrounded the gold-painted bear.
Immediately afterwards, four lifelike patterns of underworld beasts appeared at the four corners of the formation, and the four patterns of underworld beasts rapidly expanded from a flat surface to a three-dimensional form the moment they appeared. The next moment, these four underworld beasts seemed to come to life, opening their eyes, opening their huge mouths and letting out bursts of roars.
The gold-painted bear, who was still furious, was immediately calmed down by the four powerful energy beasts in front of him. He curled up and looked at the four beasts of different shapes that had appeared inexplicably.
"Success!"
Seeing that the Golden Bear was trapped, Shi Jiu screamed excitedly, and then flew to the side of the Great Red Sword Emperor.
"Senior Sword Emperor, how should we deal with this stupid bear next?"
"Well, let me think about it, it would be best..."
The Great Red Sword Emperor had just started to speak when he was interrupted by the movement beside him.
The gold-painted violent bear, which was still curled up and shivering before, seemed to have come to its senses and realized that the four underworld beasts in front of it were not real. It regained its previous morale and rage and began to violently hit and slap the four-image magic circle. The powerful The force even stirred up waves of energy barriers on all sides.
"Senior, this beast isn't going to break out of the formation, is it?"
The fluctuations on the energy barrier became more and more severe, and Shi Jiu felt that the four-image array might break and collapse at any time.
"It's hard to say. My four-image formation is just a temporary arrangement and it is indeed not perfect. Moreover, the gold-painted violent bear is a high-priced beast, and its strength is its strong point. It may really break out of the formation." The Great Red Sword Emperor did not hide anything and told the truth.
"What?!"
Shi Jiu was also shocked by the words of the Great Red Sword Emperor, and opened his mouth wide not knowing what to say.
"There's nothing surprising. This magic circle only temporarily traps the beast. Before it comes out, we'll find a way to kill it." The Great Red Sword Emperor said very calmly, not nervous at all, as if he had known better. This situation will occur.
But Shi Jiu next to him was completely different. Apart from being shocked and speechless, he also despised the other party in his heart. It was so unreliable.
