Of course, the so-called hunting was actually to find a suitable place for Xiao Wu to retreat and help her cultivate her fourth spirit ring. Although Tang San used the excuse that they had stayed in the Sunset Forest for half a year, in fact, Lu had also been dreaming for half a year and had no memory of the terrain of the Sunset Forest. After much thought, he could only take Xiao Wu to the place where Dugu Bo lived in seclusion.

The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is located in the center of the Sunset Forest. It is not difficult to find, and there are poison arrays set up by Dugu Bo around it, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed by soul beasts along the way. Lu also gave Xiao Wu an antidote to the poison array that Dugu Bo gave to Tang San, and took Xiao Wu to the cave where they originally lived temporarily.

The inside of the cave had not been cleaned up, and there were still traces of their previous life left. In addition to the pile of straw, there was also a large pot propped up on firewood, which was used by Tang San to cook medicine.

"Sister Lulu, you lived in a place like this during the six months you were training?" Xiao Wu looked at the bare cave and asked in disbelief, "Can people live here?"

"It's just training, not a vacation." Lu Ye brushed it off lightly and said, "What is your fourth soul skill?"

"I haven't decided yet." Xiao Wu said, "Sister Lulu, you also know that we soul beasts have multiple training directions. All the characteristics of our bodies can become our soul skills."

Lu Ye: ...Thank you, I understand now.

"Which direction do you plan to practice in?" Lu Ye asked.

Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said, "I want to choose the Invincible Golden Body, a three-second invincible skill that makes me immune to all damage. It can not only protect myself, but also my teammates."

The deer also frowned and said, "This skill is not good."

Xiao Wu was stunned: "Why?"

"Xiao Wu, you are now level 40. As a strong attack spirit master, you only have one attack skill, the first spirit skill. The second and third spirit skills are control and displacement." Lu Ye said, "If you still choose a defensive skill as the fourth spirit skill, your output ability will be greatly weakened. What's more, my pure white guardian is fully capable of protecting my teammates."

Xiao Wu tilted her head and thought for a while, a little hesitant: "But I want to do more for everyone."

"Do your job well when you are in your position." Lu Ye said, "Killing the opponent as quickly as possible is also doing more for everyone. My team doesn't need a role with an ambiguous position. What's more, you need to think about yourself first, not others first."

[Warning, the plot is about to deviate from the main plot. ]

[Players are requested to immediately return the plot to the main storyline. Once the plot deviates, the system will not bear any consequences. ]

[Warning, the plot is about to deviate from the main plot! ]

The deer also turned a deaf ear to the system's warnings.

"I need to think about myself first..." Xiao Wu murmured, her eyes gradually brightened, "Sister Lulu, you are right."

When she obtains the fifth and sixth soul rings, she will have better options for defensive skills like Invincible Golden Body, or even an invincible skill that is immune to both physical and magical powers. There is really no need to be limited to an Invincible Golden Body that can only be used three times a day.

Suddenly, there was some noise outside the cave, which seemed to be the roar of animals. It was probably Tang San and his party hunting soul beasts. Xiao Wu, who was a little excited just now, gradually became depressed after hearing those roars.

“Sister Lulu, do you think that humans and soul beasts really cannot coexist?” Xiao Wu asked with her head down.

Lu Ye: “No.”

Xiao Wu: "...Sister Lulu, I thought you would at least comfort me."

"In this plane, soul beasts are just tools for humans. Humans can obtain soul rings and soul bones by hunting soul beasts, but what soul beasts get from hunting humans is far less than what humans get from hunting soul beasts. Even the ultimate goal of soul beast cultivation is to transform into human form and become the same as humans." Lu Ye said coldly, "Because humans are already at the top of the food chain, they are the superiors of the food chain. Humans and soul beasts are like the strong dominating the weak, the superior exploits and the inferior is exploited, how can the two coexist? Have you ever seen a sheep and a wolf together? Unless one day, humans can cultivate soul rings themselves and hunting soul beasts is no longer a rigid need for cultivation, otherwise the relationship between humans and soul beasts will always be hunter and prey, and it will not change."

Xiao Wu was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute.

"Don't think too much." Lu Ye said, "Practice hard and become stronger. That's your top priority right now. You still have your family. Daming, Erming and I will all be your backers. If you regret it one day, just come back to us."

Xiao Wu quietly lowered her head and began to "acquire" her soul ring, but she felt a little lost in her heart.

She had to admit that Lu was right. Compared to others, Tang San was indeed able to realize the importance of not killing soul beasts indiscriminately, but as a human, he still had to obtain his own soul rings by hunting soul beasts. It was just that most of the time, the soul beasts he hunted had nothing to do with her and were not of her species, so they would not arouse her sympathy.

Now the number of soul beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest has been significantly reduced, and the disadvantages of indiscriminate killing of soul beasts have begun to emerge. There are no consequences now, but what about a hundred years later? A thousand years later? Will human indiscriminate killing and captivity lead to the gradual extinction of wild soul beasts and the gradual collapse of the ecological chain?

Her choice...her choice to entrust the rosewood comb to Tang San, was it really the right one?

……

It only took Xiao Wu's spirit ring half an hour to condense, and soon, a new purple spirit ring slowly rose from her body.

Different from the "Invincible Golden Body" which focuses on defense, this soul skill is a skill that combines control, mobility and strength enhancement, which fully fits the characteristics of the Soft Bone Rabbit that combines both agile attack and strong attack.

【System prompt: The main storyline has shifted. 】

【This system is not responsible for any subsequent consequences. 】

Lu was also quite satisfied with Xiao Wu's soul skill, not only because of its powerful effect, but also because it was her first step towards changing herself.

She didn't want to see anyone sacrifice their life for others, and she didn't want Xiao Wu to be just another person's spirit ring in the future.

"Sister Lulu," Xiao Wu stuck her head out of the cave and said, "Did you hear anything? There seems to be some noise outside?"

Of course the deer heard it too. From the time Xiao Wu was absorbing the spirit ring, different beast roars could be heard from afar, including the roar of tigers, the screams of spiders, and many other roars that were difficult to distinguish.

Could it be such a coincidence that Tang San also came here to hunt soul beasts?

"Eh." Xiao Wu's nose moved, "It seems like there is some smell, it smells good."

"There is a poison formation left by Dugu Bo here. Apart from Tang San, no one else should come here." Lu Ye said, "Let's go and take a look."
