Ice Marrow Worm

Chapter 47 Ice Marrow Worm

The campfire cast a fiery red glow in the darkness, dispelling the cold and loneliness of the small area.

In fact, when Shen Hanyu first came to this world, he didn't have an easy time because he lacked the internet and a mobile phone.

No one can understand what would happen to a semi-experienced internet user after they leave the internet.

It wasn't until Shen Hanyu first encountered cultivation at the age of six and grasped its joy and meaning that he gradually recovered.

This is also one of the reasons why people venture out to explore the world.

Looking at the warmth brought by the two blazing flames, a trace of sorrow and nostalgia flashed in Shen Hanyu's eyes. It was all the regrets of his previous life, as well as all the insights he had gained from being reborn in this life.

The group discussed it before going to bed. Shen Hanyu would keep watch for the first half of the night, while Shui Bing'er and Shen Liuyu would take turns for the second half. As for Shui Yue'er, who had the lowest soul power, she was told to rest and recuperate, otherwise her small frame might cause some problems.

Shen Hanyu sat on a fallen tree, occasionally throwing a few pieces of dry wood into the fire. His eyes were somewhat unfocused, as if he were lost in thought.

Around midnight, the wind picked up a bit, carrying a light snowfall. Although it didn't cause any major disruption, it added a peculiar atmosphere to the scene.

With a soft sound, Shui Bing'er slowly lifted the thick curtain of the tent and stepped out, sitting on the wooden seat opposite Shen Hanyu, and said softly:

"Go and rest, I'll keep watch."

Shen Hanyu came to his senses and said calmly:

"The spirit beasts here are all strong. I don't trust you to guard them. Go back and rest. You might be able to absorb a spirit ring tomorrow if you get enough rest."

Shui Bing'er wanted to refute him, but after thinking about it, she realized that Shen Hanyi was absolutely right, so she had no choice but to give up.

Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have already appeared here. Not to mention her strength as a quasi-Great Soul Master and Shen Liuyu, a quasi-Soul Venerable, they might not even be able to handle a slightly stronger thousand-year-old soul beast, let alone an even stronger soul beast hidden in the dark.

Shen Hanyu glanced at Shui Bing'er, then stopped caring whether she had gone back to rest and began to close his eyes to relax.

Shui Bing'er poked at the fire, trying to speak several times, but when she finally opened her mouth, nothing came out.

She really wanted to chat with Shen Hanyu, but she just couldn't bring herself to say it.

Shen Liuyu also tiptoed out of the tent and sat down next to Shui Bing'er, yawning slightly as if she were tired.

Shen Hanyu then opened his eyes, a hint of helplessness flashing in them, and said:

"Go back to sleep! Listen to me, my mental strength is very strong, two or three days without rest won't affect me at all."

He paused, then added:

"Besides, it doesn't matter whether you're here or not."

Shen Liuyu rolled her eyes, made a face at Shen Hanyu, and said:

"We'll defend if we want, you old geezer, don't worry about us, right, Bing'er?"

Shui Bing'er nodded, feeling a little guilty about leaving Shen Hanyu to keep watch alone at night.

Shen Hanyu was too lazy to say anything more. Anyway, it wouldn't affect anything. He was just casually making a few polite remarks. Saying these things too often had become a habit, and not a very good one at that.

As Shen Hanyu continued to close his eyes, Shui Bing'er and Shen Liuyu began to chat quietly, exchanging only a few words.

Girls always seem to have endless topics to talk about, which Shen Hanyu finds fascinating. In his previous life, he had two close friends who had been friends on WeChat for five or six years, but they hadn't exchanged more than five or six hundred messages in total. He was very interested in the idea that girls could always have something to say.

Time passed by second by second, and as dawn approached, Shen Hanyu suddenly opened his eyes.

This time period is undoubtedly one of the times when humans are most prone to drowsiness. Shen Liuyu and Shui Bing'er were leaning against each other, both of them out of it, clearly extremely sleepy.

"What a clever beast! I didn't even notice it last night."

Shen Hanyu said to himself

He then quickly left the camp and headed into the forest on the side of the camp.

With a loud bang, Shen Liuyu and Shui Bing'er were suddenly awakened, only to find that Shen Hanyu had already left the camp and was nowhere to be found.

Shui Bing'er and Shen Liuyu exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion and helplessness in each other's eyes.

But the next moment, a huge crustacean-like soul beast was thrown directly onto the bushes next to the camp, crushing a large area of ​​bushes.

The crustacean-type soul beast is about three meters long, with an ice-blue body, a pair of sharp mouthparts, and a bunch of hidden wings on its back. The scales on its body are as clear as crystal, making it look like real crystal.

Shen Hanyu slowly stepped out from the side, pointed to the still-struggling Cold Marrow Worm, and said to Shen Liuyu:

"Ayu, this is an Ice Marrow Worm, a strange soul beast born from the Xuanbing Marrow Mine. It lives by absorbing Xuanbing Marrow. Once it has drained the mine, it will target any living or non-living thing that can provide a lot of energy. Its scales have a certain effect of reflecting mental energy. I didn't investigate carefully last night, so this guy escaped. Instead of hiding in the cave, it actually set its sights on us. I guess it's fate..."

Shen Hanyu gave a brief introduction, and then said:

"These soul beasts are almost entirely composed of pure energy, and their combat power is extremely strong. They can even break through the Xuanbing Marrow Mine with sheer strength. Their defense is also top-notch. This guy has nearly 3,200 years of cultivation, making him fully qualified to become your perfect third soul ring."

Shen Liuyu stepped forward and hugged Shen Hanyu, saying with some emotion:

"Brother, you're the best..."

Shen Hanyu curled his lip and said speechlessly:

"I just happened to find that it suited you better, otherwise it wouldn't be so complete now."

Shen Liuyu's expression froze instantly, then he punched Shen Hanyu's chest, snorted, and hurriedly ended the life of the Ice Marrow Worm, beginning to absorb the Soul Ring.

This process is estimated to take quite a while. Shen Hanyu looked at Shui Bing'er and said with some helplessness:

"I'm sorry, it may take some time before I can get you a spirit ring."

Shui Bing'er nodded in understanding and said:

"No rush, let's wait for Liuyu to absorb the soul ring first. We've been gone for so long, a little more time won't make a difference."

Shen Hanyu nodded, then suddenly realized something and said:

"Where's Yue'er? There was such a loud noise just now, why didn't I see her?"

Shui Bing'er was also taken aback, then looked at the tent and said:

"Maybe...maybe he hasn't woken up yet?..."

Shen Hanyu was taken aback, then sighed from the bottom of his heart:

"I do envy that kind of sleep quality."
