soul protection from Asha Hess!

"It seems due to some reasons, the monster spawning patterns on Blue Star now are somewhat different from the previous life…"

"Spawning some BOSSes not seen in the previous life?"

Qin Feng speculated that it was probably because he had killed enough high-tier BOSSes.

Causing the respawn speed of low-tier BOSSes to also increase.

The Legendary 'Necrotic Armored Worm' recently deployed outside the Chuanshu Ruins came about in this manner.

But let's not dwell on that for now…

What truly left Qin Feng speechless was still Black Plum Da Lizi's experience.

"Although her mount got barbecued and eaten by a BOSS, she somehow, through a strange twist of fate, found the tomb of the God of Bones…"

Qin Feng could only say, that's insane!

You have to admire that kind of luck!

Since a giant kneeling human skeleton has been found, the next steps are simple. Based on some information provided by Big Eyes, dig around a 56-kilometer radius of that skull.

Once the second giant kneeling human skeleton is found, then the exact location of the tomb can be deduced!

"Alright, I'll be there soon, and I'll bring a little gift for Xiao Hei too."

Qin Feng replied with a smile.

Since the tomb location has been discovered, there's no need to rush from here on out.

Qin Feng planned to resolve some recent issues first. For example, the judgment of those eight wealthy ladies from 'Tender Butterfly', and he still needed to ask Asha Hess exactly what this 'soul link' was all about.

Thus, Qin Feng returned to the Judgment Land.

Meanwhile, outside the Jianghai Ruins, within the range of Golden Rooster Mountain.

An Yu and her team of six gathered together.

"The Great God said he's coming soon?"

Black Plum Da Lizi was quite expectant: "But while we wait, we might as well eat something…"

After saying that, she took out the god-given book.

Directly consuming lifespan, she created a whole roasted lamb!

"Mmm, smells amazing!"

???

An Yu, Wang Meng, and the others were utterly bewildered.

Black Plum Da Lizi: "Everyone, eat! What are we just waiting around for? My sheep died, gotta at least taste it, right? Nothing wrong with that."

Eating in the game doesn't fill you up, but it can satisfy cravings…

Card Master Uncle sighed helplessly: "Then should I make a stir-fried rabbit dish? Our god-given book in Jianghai City doesn't have that. Looks like next time we need to go to the Chuanshu Ruins to get a Sichuan Cuisine god-given book…"

…

Judgment Land.

When Qin Feng returned, the eight lady players, including 'Tender Butterfly', also suddenly regained their senses.

They had just been shouting 'no, no' with their mouths.

In the blink of an eye, they were dead.

Their vision went dark, and upon opening their eyes again, they found themselves in a White Jade Labyrinth emitting a hazy glow!

"We… we were killed by Shadow?!"

"What is this place? Judgment Land?"

"What on earth is going on? Shouldn't we have revived even if we were killed? Wuwuwu…"

They were all weeping and wailing.

At that moment, Qin Feng's voice sounded in their ears: "What's all this crying for? Didn't you like that Winged One? I sent you to meet it, and you don't even know how to say thank you?"

"Oh, right, you might not know where that Winged One comes from. Let me show you a memory first."

Qin Feng projected the memory he had previously recorded with the light and shadow crystal, the one about the Winged One · Kalanster, above the White Jade Labyrinth.

He let them watch it first.

Qin Feng ignored them and turned to stand before Asha Hess.

He took out the soul Reaper · White Sprout Blade in his hand, twirling the dagger around: "Hess, this one applied for a soul link with me. What exactly is a soul link?"

Hearing this, Asha Hess smiled.

Her pale golden eyes glanced at the dagger in Qin Feng's hand, then she gently raised her delicate hand, placing it softly on Qin Feng's shoulder: "soul link, as the name implies, allows you to communicate on a soul level."

"Generally speaking, there are no negative effects. However… although she has only ever possessed a 'servant seal', she has still been in contact with the authority of the soul. It's possible she has some means to peek into your thoughts through this…"

"Inheritor, I shall bestow upon you a layer of soul protection, ensuring your soul cannot be spied upon by anyone through any means."

soul protection?

Qin Feng couldn't help but吐槽 internally.

"So after all this, to communicate with this White Sprout, I still need a protective membrane?"

"Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"

Qin Feng sighed!

As Asha Hess cast her skill, Qin Feng felt a warm sensation emanating from the hand on his shoulder.

It seemed a kind of power spread throughout his body, but upon closer inspection, he felt nothing…

There wasn't even a system notification.

Clearly, this was an extremely unusual method.

"If there isn't even any system notification…"

"Doesn't that mean the level of this method is above the God Forsaken Game itself?"

"Could it be bypassing that so-called original agreement?"

Qin Feng couldn't help but marvel.

Having someone powerful backing you up sure feels great!

And if Asha Hess, possessing such methods, intended harm towards Qin Feng, he would have absolutely no ability to resist.

So, for now…

Regardless of whether Qin Feng trusts Asha Hess or not, he can only temporarily walk the path she has arranged…

At this moment.

Although Qin Feng didn't hear any system prompts, he clearly felt an invisible layer of energy surrounding him, protecting him.

This was the soul protection Asha Hess spoke of!

This thing was completely imperceptible to the naked eye, existing on the level of the soul, or rather, consciousness.

Being far too advanced, Qin Feng couldn't study it.

He only knew…

After confirming with Asha Hess, he could finally safely establish the 'soul link' with the White Sprout Blade!

"Then let's begin."

Qin Feng was actually looking forward to establishing a connection with this female player 'White Sprout'.

After all, this female player came from a civilization called 'Sea Sky Star'. She once possessed the authority of the soul… even if only at the 'servant seal' level, she was on par with Qin Wuyue!

If he could communicate with her, perhaps he could learn more information about the Order Land?

So, Qin Feng spoke a sentence in Ancient God Language, instructing the White Sprout Blade in his hand to initiate the application for 'soul link'.

Upon hearing this sentence in Ancient God Language.

The White Sprout Blade in his hand instantly became excited.

It sent Qin Feng five, six, seven, eight consecutive applications.

"Is there a need to be so excited?"

Qin Feng had a headache. This 'White Sprout's' personality seemed a bit… irritable?

Facing the 'soul link' application this time, Qin Feng chose 'Accept'.

Finally…

Qin Feng could feel that he had established a soul-level connection with the White Sprout Blade in his hand!

This feeling was marvelous…

He discovered he could directly transmit thoughts from his mind to White Sprout, without the need for language conversion!

"Is this the convenience of soul communication?"

Qin Feng had never experienced this feeling before.

However, his current soul link with White Sprout was clearly only superficial.

Not all thoughts would be communicated.

Rather, he needed to select the information to communicate before it would be conveyed to the other party.

In other words, what Qin Feng thought and what White Sprout thought remained unknown to each other, like chatting through a screen.

"It seems deeper communication is possible on the soul level…"

"That deeper communication sounds a bit terrifying."

Qin Feng thought to himself.

Once engaged in deeper communication, it would mean both sides conveying all their thoughts to the other without reservation!

Perhaps…

The soul Emperor, wielding the authority of the soul, could unilaterally collect all the thoughts of their followers?

If so, that would still be terrifying…

Suddenly.

While Qin Feng was still pondering, he felt White Sprout, through soul communication, sending him waves of soul-level information: "Hahaha, this young lady is finally out!"

"Five hundred years, five hundred years… do you know how I spent these five hundred years?!"

"Little brother, hurry up and chat with me, or I'm going to die of boredom!"
