Douluo Continent, Xingcao Village, is located on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, and most of the people in the village make a living by picking herbs.

Because it is adjacent to the Star Dou Great Forest, the products are relatively rich, and some people in the village have extraordinary medical knowledge, so there are occasional soul masters who enter the Star Dou Forest from here to adventure on weekdays.

But fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and it is also because of the proximity to the Star Dou Great Forest, there are often soul beasts coming out of the forest to feed.

Although they are only soul beasts that have cultivated their soul power for dozens or nearly a hundred years, they are also difficult enemies for these villagers who have no soul power. As a result, the population of the village is not very large, and some people even choose to move out of the village when they reach adulthood.

On a hillside near the forest, a child who looked no more than four or five years old lay on the grass, his hands crossed behind his head, a piece of grass in his mouth, and his eyes staring blankly at the sky.

[It's been four years since I've been in this world, and my parents over there should have almost recovered their spirits, so I hope my departure doesn't make them too sad.] ]

At this time, the boy lying on the lawn, named Shen Yuan, was a herbalist in Xingcao Village four years ago, and he picked up the child when he was collecting medicine in the Star Dou Forest. Because he couldn't find his parents, the childless herbalist decided to adopt the child and named him Shen Yuan after his surname.

Reborn into this world, Shen Yuan felt that he was a lucky person more than once. In his previous life, he was also an orphan, but he was lucky to meet a couple. They met Shen Yuan, who was just a child at the orphanage, and took him home as their own.

However, Shen Yuan, who had a lifetime in his previous life, was in very poor health, and he had to go to the hospital for treatment every once in a while. In this case, his adoptive parents also raised him peacefully, which made him feel grateful and guilty.

At that time, Shen Yuan's physical condition did not allow him, so he naturally couldn't participate in sports activities, and he usually liked to read books and watch videos. Naturally, I also came into contact with online novels, such as Douluo Dalu.

At that time, he could never have imagined that when he died of illness, he would really be reborn into this world.

[Mom and Dad over there, I hope you can live a good life there!] I will live well here, and I wish you all the best! ]

At this moment, Shen Yuan could only secretly bless in his heart.

"Xiao Yuan'er, I knew that you were here again! Didn't know if it was dangerous!? ”

A slightly old voice disrupted Shen Yuan's thoughts and pulled him back from his past memories.

Hearing this voice, Shen Yuan hurriedly stood up and looked at the old man standing at the bottom of the hillside. The old man's face was very dark, and he could clearly see the traces left by the wind and frost of time, his body was rickety, his appearance was kind, he was carrying a bamboo basket full of herbs on his back, a mountain knife pinned to his waist, and a grass stick in his hand, as if he had just returned from picking herbs.

However, at this time, the expression of the kind old man in front of him was full of anger: "I've said it a few times, this place is too close to the forest, and it's easy to run into soul beasts that come out to find food!" Don't get you near here. ”

"Grandpa, I'm sorry." Shen Yuan didn't refute, just lowered his head and obediently walked to the old man's side.

Shen Yuan also knew that there were often soul beasts here, and it was not safe for ordinary people, let alone a four-year-old child.

But he himself is a little different, maybe it's because of the reborn golden finger or other special circumstances, he found that the soul beasts are not very hostile to him, as long as they don't deliberately attack or encounter that kind of very brutal soul beasts, they will not deliberately hurt themselves. So, although I have been here many times, I have not encountered any danger.

Of course, Shen Yuan didn't explain to the old man in front of him, because even if he said it, the old man wouldn't allow him to come over. The old man's name was Shen Yan, and he was the one who picked him up from the Star Dou Forest four years ago and placed him at home.

Shen Yan looked at the child in front of him who was bowing his head and obediently admitting his mistakes, and there was nowhere to go. He is usually very satisfied with this child he picked up, well-behaved, filial, and very serious when learning the family herbal medicine knowledge he taught him.

But his temperament is not very stable, and when he first learned to walk, he began to run around the village, and later, he even ran into the forest.

Of course, Shen Yuan's body after rebirth is not as weak as in his previous life, and even his health is not good. When I started to walk early, I also found that my memory and comprehension ability far exceeded that of my previous life when I learned the herbal knowledge of the old man. This made him wonder if this was the legendary rebirth of the golden finger in the novel.

"Grandpa, why did you come back so quickly from picking herbs today?"

Shen Yuan secretly looked at the old man, silently diverting his attention from the conversation.

Shen Yan glanced at Shen Yuan, gently knocked his head with his hand, watched him touch his head with a smile, and could only helplessly take Shen Yuan's hand and go back.

Along the way, he said: "Today the forest is a little unstable, today I and several grandfathers in your village heard the roar of soul beasts coming from the forest. Although the voice was thin and far away, it was not low, and several of us were dizzy after hearing it. We felt that the forest was unstable, so we came out early. ”

"Fortunately, your grandfather and I are flexible enough to pick up a lot of medicine, and I didn't come here in vain!" After speaking, Shen Yan smugly checked the bamboo basket on his back.

Shen Yuan smiled and praised Shen Yan a few words, but in his mind, he was thinking about what the roaring soul beast was.

When he first read the novel of Douluo Dalu, in addition to the strange martial souls, what attracted him the most was these all kinds of soul beasts with special abilities and strange appearances.

In his previous life, Shen Yuan was very fond of animals. In the period before his death, Shen Yuan's physical condition worsened, and there was no cure, and it was the kitten brought by his adoptive parents who accompanied him through the last period of time, so Shen Yuan had a good impression of these animals.

And the soul beasts in this world have different abilities, but they can also practice, and even have wisdom no less than human beings in the future.

It makes people feel that they are like demon beasts or spirit beasts in ancient Chinese mythology, which makes Shen Yuan fascinated, after all, there are no such intelligent animals in the original world.

And in the past few years since he was reborn in the Douluo Continent, Shen Yuan has not seen soul beasts. But it's a pity that although he can prevent the soul beast from taking the initiative to attack him, he won't let himself get close, which makes him have to put down his mind if he wants to study it.

It's a pity that in this world of Douluo Continent, the identities of soul masters and soul beasts are naturally opposed, soul masters need soul rings to grow, and soul rings can only be obtained by killing soul beasts, which already represents the irreparable hostile position of the two races.

[When I become a soul master, I should also embark on the road of hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings]

Shen Yuan thought helplessly.
