Chapter 3: Soul Binding Curse

  Only inside the boundary, a giant black scorpion and an owl-like cat were fighting. The owl had blood on its head, and more than half of the feathers on its abdomen and right wing had fallen off, with greenish liquid flowing from its muscles. The scorpion's black shell also flowed with blue-green liquid, and where the shells met, white was exposed, looking as if it had been tortured.

  Two monsters seemed to be at the end of their strength, attacking each other's wounded areas, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. The two monsters entwined for a while and suddenly separated, keeping a certain distance, waiting for the opponent to expose their weakness. At this moment, the owl suddenly exerted its force, and its two huge claws fiercely clawed at the scorpion's already wounded back. The scorpion dodged too late and was brutally torn off a piece of flesh. At this time, Su Qi also couldn't help but turn her head away, it was really cruel, definitely going to die!

  As expected, when Su Qi turned his head to look again, the scorpion was already shaking and trembling. The originally proud scorpion tail suddenly smashed onto the ground and didn't move anymore. The owl saw that the scorpion was dead and slowly landed on the ground, flipping its eyes as if it was exhausted. Just when everyone thought the battle had ended, the scorpion suddenly exerted force and swung its tail violently, smashing the owl out. Then a black wind swept by, and the scorpion had already pressed the owl under its body. The scorpion used its huge pincers to continuously tear at the owl, and in just a moment, the owl turned into a puddle of blood.

  Su Qi's eyes widened, and she couldn't move her feet. She had never seen such a bloody scene before. What was this? A demonic tribe's internal conflict? Just as she was thinking about it, the barrier suddenly disappeared without warning, and on the ground appeared a huge, motionless black scorpion.

  "Is... is it dead?" Su Qi took a deep breath, stepped forward two steps and kicked the scorpion's tail, then quickly jumped to the side. Seeing that the scorpion really didn't react at all, she felt relieved and walked forward to observe it carefully.

  "Hmm!" Su Qi Ruo exclaimed, having circled around the scorpion for half a day. This scorpion's aura is clearly Lu Ke's! Could it be that that dead kid's original form was a scorpion?! Now that's good, I'll just go and stab him twice, and he'll completely disappear, and the whole world will be at peace! However, Su Qi Ruo furrowed his brow in contemplation. Although Lu Ke has been eyeing my spiritual energy, he never killed me... If I kill him like this, isn't that too unscrupulous? Moreover, it's a human life after all, and to end it like this is too cruel... Besides, it's when he's injured and unconscious, and I'm taking advantage of him, which is too despicable... No, no!

  But what to do now? If I leave him here and he can't wake up tomorrow morning, someone will find him and take him to the museum as a specimen! I won't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren will die because of me! This won't work. So should I save him? How am I supposed to save him? This huge scorpion, do I drag it all the way back? Even if I drag it back to the dormitory, I won't be able to let it go! Besides, this venomous guy will bite me back if I save him, and that would be my bad luck!

  What to do? Su Qi had been wandering around Lu Kezhou for a long time, suddenly he had an idea, "Right! I still have the Soul Binding Spell! The Wood God said that whoever uses the Soul Binding Spell on him will not be able to harm me, this is great."

  With a determined mind, Su Qi lightly chanted the incantation and formed a hand seal with one hand. A symbol suddenly appeared out of thin air and flew towards Lu Ke, circling around his body three times before attaching itself to him. It then disappeared into Lu Ke's body and vanished from sight.

  "Dead kid, I can't drag you anymore. Let me give you some of my Water God's authentic spiritual power. You'd better wake up quickly, or else when the dormitory building locks its doors, I'll have to throw you here." Su Qi Ruo squatted down and pressed her hand on Xie Zi's headtop, only to see ripples flowing out in circles, covering Lu Ke's body. Su Qi Ruo continued to transmit spiritual power for an hour without seeing Lu Ke wake up, finally stopping and scolding, "Growing too big is really no good, exhausting me to death! Now this lady has done her best, you can go die wherever you want!"

  Su Qi Ruo turned around and walked a few steps, when the ground suddenly shook violently. Su Qi Ruo immediately became tense and looked around in all directions. Suddenly, she discovered that behind her appeared a huge black shadow. Su Qi Ruo turned around to look, only to see that the scorpion which was originally lying on the ground, stiff and still, had suddenly stood up. The black tail of the scorpion, like a flagpole, swayed back and forth, making people feel an inexplicable sense of fear.

  Su Qi stared blankly at Lu Ke, who had transformed, and Lu Ke also looked back at her. The two locked eyes for two seconds before Lu Ke suddenly swung his scorpion tail heavily towards Su Qi. Su Qi seemed to still be in a daze from Lu Ke's sudden attack and stood upright, holding an umbrella. A loud crashing sound echoed out as Lu Ke was stunned. Contrary to his expectations, Su Qi did not fly backward and fall to the ground. Instead, his attack appeared to have been blocked by some kind of power, as if there was a wall between him and Su Qi. The source of this power seemed to be himself.

  How could this be? How is it possible? Lu Ke was incredulous, swinging his pincers left and right, launching a flurry of attacks that numbered in the dozens. Apart from the continuous crashing sounds, nothing else happened.

  Su Qi Ruo was originally in a daze, but later also sensed something was off. He stood there and let Lu Ke attack him at will, watching as Lu Ke's multiple attacks were ineffective. Su Qi Ruo also began to think, "What's wrong with this kid?"

  Lu Ke's furious figure transformed back into human form, his eyes blazing with anger. He snatched the umbrella from Su Qi Ruo and flung it far away, then grabbed Su Qi Ruo's collar, forcing him to look up at him. "You used a soul-binding spell on me! Release it!"

  Su Qi was shocked again by Lu Ke's sudden and unexpected momentum, her mind went blank for three seconds before she subconsciously said, "It can't be solved..."

  "Where's your grandfather?! Hurry up!"

  "Huh? I really can't solve it. But......" Su Qi suddenly regained her composure, "So making eye contact with you won't get me trapped in your boundary!"

  "It won't work!" Lu Ke carefully examined Su Qiruo's eyes, seeing that her expression was indeed not lying, and only then did he furiously release his grip. "You're ruthless, let me know who taught you the Soul Binding Curse, I'll definitely kill him!"

  Su Qi looked at Lu Ke's terrifying expression without speaking, secretly shocked and thought to herself: "So the doll face can also be fierce and unstoppable when angry, after all it's a scorpion, with a heart as venomous as a snake. It seems that his usual gentle way of treating me was indeed too soft. Fortunately, I didn't provoke him, or else I would have ended up like the owl. No, if he gets angry again someday, won't I be in trouble? When I get back, I must study the water control technique carefully. This water control technique is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and I should be able to find a way to deal with Lu Ke."

  Lu Ke turned around and picked up the umbrella she had just thrown away, handing it to Su Qi, saying gruffly, "Here!"

  "Thank... you KAO, you're not wearing clothes!" Su Qi Ruo covered her face with both hands, her face red and ears burning. How did she not notice earlier? This little guy was completely naked from head to toe. What's the point of running around naked at night?!

  Lu Ke snorted at Su Qi's behavior and said impatiently, "First hold the umbrella for me, I'll go get dressed."

  Su Qi'er closed her eyes and felt for the umbrella that Lu Ke handed over, cursing Lu Ke's ancestors in her heart. "Hey, open your eyes, it's okay."

  Su Qi glared at him fiercely, and Lu Ke was indeed dressed neatly and holding an umbrella. "I'll send you back."

  "No need, I can walk myself." Su Qi's tone was extremely disdainful, as if she were commanding Lu Ke. Lu Ke glanced at her sideways, "Do you think I want to? Don't waste your breath!"
