Chapter 2: Unexpected Encounter
The Ice Jade Scorpion aimlessly led Zhou Sicheng forward, its thousand-year-old aura causing ordinary hundred-year-old soul beasts in the surroundings to avoid it like the plague, not daring to come anywhere near.
This made it nearly impossible for Zhou Sicheng to locate the "God Slayer" Phoenix Baboon he was searching for.
Another hour passed, and the sky gradually darkened. Under the setting sun, the Star Dou Forest resembled a breathtaking painting.
Zhou Sicheng glanced at the sky—today might be yet another fruitless day.
However, at that moment, an unannounced voice suddenly echoed in his mind—or rather, within his spiritual sea.
"At last! I've finally encountered a human with a spiritual attribute! If I could cry, I'd be in tears right now!"
The voice appeared so abruptly that it should have startled him, but instead, Zhou Sicheng was instantly filled with joy. The ability to communicate directly through spiritual connection meant only one thing in the Star Dou Forest—aside from the few ferocious beasts that resided here, there was only one other possibility.
The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!
Those ferocious beasts couldn't possibly be here at this moment; otherwise, Zhou Sicheng would have already become their meal.
Which meant... he had succeeded in intercepting it?
As he reveled in this unexpected opportunity, the ground five meters ahead of him suddenly cracked open, with faint white light seeping from the fissures.
