Chapter 132: Under the Calm Lake
"Thanks, uncle. Please give us a ride. β
"Haha, you're welcome."
"Is this it?" Meng, who got out of the carriage, still looked up at the forest and mountain peaks in the distance, and asked Lanta beside him.
"Yes, Sister Still." Lanta nodded and replied, "Soul Beast ForestβA Dark Land, a soul beast colony shrouded in darkness. β
"If an aromatic garden is a home for aromatic plants. Then this is the paradise of all shadow and dark soul beasts. β
"Meng Yi, you take Xiao Wu and Lanta to the hotel first, and Xiao San and I go to collect information. Enter the Soul Beast Forest tomorrow morning. β
Meng still nodded, none of the three of them had enough soul hunting experience. Lanta doesn't need to say much, she was taken by her grandparents to hunt souls, and I heard that Xiao Wu was similar. It would be more appropriate to listen to the experienced Gu You and Tang San's arrangement.
After the two groups of people separated, Gu You took Tang San to find the largest restaurant in the town, pushed open the door, and even in the afternoon, there were many people eating inside.
The two found a corner, ordered a few dishes casually, and pricked up their ears to listen carefully to the chatter of the diners.
"How's the harvest?"
"It's not good, you really shouldn't target the shelled ninja, it's too difficult to catch."
β¦β¦
"How's your family doing?"
"My wife has sent a letter, my mother is in good health, my son will be able to awaken the martial soul next year, I want to go back."
β¦β¦
"Did you hear that someone from a big family came to hunt souls with us, and they also took down all the top floors of the hotel."
"I've heard about it too, I don't know which family's eldest young master and eldest lady have such a big show."
β¦β¦
"Did you find Ah Wei?"
"No, I still can't find it."
"Damn, Brother Jie is crazy, we've been searching in the shadows for a week, and if it goes on like this, everyone won't be able to hold on."
"At present, it is only known that Ah Wei was attracted by a beam of fire. Brother Jie asked us to search for the soul beasts that could emit fire in it, and Brother Jie was checking all the fire attribute soul masters in the town. β
"It can't be a candlelight spirit, it's just a hundred-year-old soul beast. Ah Wei is so funny that he can't escape when he is attracted away by this thing, hahaha"
"Hahaha...... Hurry up and eat, Ah Wei is still waiting for us somewhere. β
"yes, okay."
β¦β¦
"Have you heard, the people of the Martial Spirit Hall seem to be searching for something in the forest now."
"What, that missing Ah Wei?"
"Ah Wei is a matter of their Taixun Regiment, what is the matter of the Martial Spirit Palace. I listened to my neighbor's house, and he said that the son of his second uncle's sister's husband's sister's uncle worked in the Wuhun Palace, and it seemed that he was looking for someone. β
"People, isn't that Ah Wei?"
"Alas, they all say it's not Ah Wei. If it was a long time ago, he would have cooperated with Brother Jie of the Taixun Regiment to search. β
"Who is the Martial Spirit Hall looking for?"
"Who knows, maybe it's some wanted criminal. Let's just be careful when we go in. β
β¦β¦
After eating, Gu You ordered a few more dishes to pack, ready to take them back to the people who came to the hotel first to taste.
Gu You and Tang San glanced at each other, and at the same time nodded slightly, Gu You smiled and said, "This shop tastes really good, no wonder so many people come." β
Tang San also smiled and said, "That's right, you should really let them come over and taste it." β
"Pack it back for them, and they realize what a loss it was not to come out with us to eat. When the Hunter comes out, bring them over. β
"I'm going in tomorrow, do I need to buy something?"
"Buy some mosquito repellent supplies, this place is estimated to be full of mosquitoes. Buying another map should be enough. β
With that, the two walked out of the restaurant with the packed meals. Behind the two, several pairs of eyes stared at their departing backs.
"Xiaoyou, what are we going to do next?" Tang San's lips moved slightly, and the small voice accurately reached Gu You's ears. If others look at it, they will only think that it is the shock caused by walking.
Tang San was keenly aware of the sight of many diners, although he didn't feel malicious for the time being, Tang San didn't dare to guarantee whether it would become malicious in the future.
That's why I acted in a play with Gu You in a restaurant, telling the fact that I had just arrived here and the purpose of coming here in the form of chatting.
Tang San didn't expect Gu You to be able to sense that something was wrong, and he didn't expect that he wanted to go with himself and use the way of speaking instead of being investigated.
Gu You is indeed very smart, but he is usually very arrogant in general, which makes people feel that he should not be able to detect it.
"Little San, let's go, let's go to the herb shop first to see if there is anything to repel insects." Gu You deliberately said loudly, greeting Tang San and walking towards the herb shop.
Of course, Gu You noticed it, and these people's eyes didn't hide it, so they just looked at it directly.
Even if he didn't come to the martial soul to strengthen his perception, Gu You could find three people looking at him with his spare light.
I don't know what these people think, it's not impossible to pay attention to newcomers who have never seen it, especially in this sensitive period, Gu You can understand it better.
But if you are a scout like this, you will be beaten to death. is such an obvious staring at people, and when you meet some short-tempered guys who don't dare to cause trouble and are mediocre, they are estimated to have been beaten.
"It's okay, junior." Gu You said to Tang San in the same way, his lips moved slightly: "We have tokens and a letter of introduction, buy some herbs unique to this place later, and call them to the Martial Spirit Hall after returning to the inn." β
Tang San understood the meaning of the ancient tour, and bought the herbs he had never seen before in the herb shop as quickly as possible, and bought a forest map at a high price by the way, and then returned to the inn with a leisurely pace and fast speed.
"Let's go, go to the Martial Spirit Palace."
Back at the hotel, Gu You pushed open the door and said to the three Xiao Wu who were resting inside.
Hearing the seriousness in Gu You's tone, Xiao Wu and the others didn't say a word, immediately packed up their things, followed Gu You and Tang San at the top of the stairs, and rushed to the Martial Spirit Hall here.
"Damn, it's been discovered." A voice came from the shadows, "You go and report to the boss, the others, follow me and stop them." β
Gu You led everyone to the Wuhun Hall quickly, as the tallest and largest building in the town, there is no need to know about it, as long as you look up, you can see its location.
"Tsk, stopped." Seeing the human wall in front of him, Gu You pouted and asked everyone to stop.
"Brother You, back."
When I turned my head, there was also a group of people surrounding behind, and the shops on both sides immediately closed their doors, and everyone was surrounded by the crowd.
"Gu You, what's going on here?" Meng still asked in a low voice.
Looking at the number of people, it must be that the snake group here did not run. Meng still didn't think that Gu You and Tang San would provoke a group to such an extent in such a short period of time.........
Presumably.
Hearing Meng Yi's question, Gu You also lowered his voice and replied with a wry smile: "The timing of this time is not good, and many things happened together during this time. β
Just as the two were talking quietly, a bald man walked out of the crowd. He is one meter eight tall, weighs one hundred and eight (kilograms), has a face full of meat, a necklace made of various soul beast bones hanging around his neck, several soul beast skulls hanging from his waist, and a tiger skin cloak on his back.
"Who are you?"
The man's deep voice came, and his size and fierce expression, coupled with the crowd surrounding everyone, brought a strong sense of oppression.
Of course, this sense of oppression was of little use to Gu You, and among the people, only Meng Yi and Lanta were affected.
Gu You came out to confront the man, and said loudly: "We are soul masters from the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy, and we are here to obtain the soul ring. β
"Did you take Ah Wei away?"
"This big brother, we just came to the town today, and we have no idea what's going on here."
"Don't quibble," the man's face suddenly turned hideous, and he yelled at Gu You, "Do you think I'll believe it?" β
"A guy who has just arrived in town will go to a restaurant to gather information? Or is it without an adult? β
Now Gu You understood that his and Tang San's overly mature approach had caused others to misunderstand, and he felt that this was not something that a normal child could do.
No, isn't this a fantasy world, it's normal for children to be precocious.
This is another misunderstanding of ancient tours. In other fantasy worlds, it's normal for children to be precocious and do things that only adults would normally do.
But this is Douluo, and talented people are led and sheltered by their elders before they grow up, rather than growing up savagely alone.
Just like Xiao Huohuo next door, although he is fundamentally protected by Yao Lao, more often than not, he grew up alone and savagely, relying on wisdom and atmospheric luck to grow into Emperor Yan.
The original Tang San...... It can only be said that there is, but the sense of presence is not strong.
"I'm in trouble." Gu You thought to himself, he looked at the eyes of the man in front of him, and knew that he had completely fallen into his own judgment, no matter what the method was, it was impossible to convince him, even if he took out the Martial Spirit Hall token, it was useless.
Apart from......... Violence stronger than him.
In this situation, it is very likely that the people of the Martial Spirit Hall have all entered the Soul Beast Forest to find someone, otherwise it is impossible to make the town what it is now.
"Xiaoyou, there are about fifty people around us. What now, break out? Tang San asked in a low voice, he also felt that something was wrong with the man in front of him, as if he had completely lost his mind.
"No," Gu You rejected Tang San's suggestion, forcibly breaking through would only multiply the contradictions between the two sides, even if he asked the Martial Spirit Hall to prove his innocence, he would not be able to believe it, and would only drag the Martial Spirit Hall into the water.
"Little San, there may be a fight later, help watch Lanta." Gu You didn't worry about Tang San, Xiao Wu and Meng Yi, he was only worried about whether Lanta would get hurt.
He knew everyone's strength, except for Meng who was still level 22, and his Tang San Xiaowu was already level 23.
Even Tang San in the original book can defeat Dai Mubai at level 29 and more than 30 levels, and the three people who have been strengthened by their own soul skills and tempered their foundations, even if their soul power is lower, it is no problem to fight an ordinary soul venerable.
Although Meng has been in the team for a short time, he is indeed working very hard in cultivation, and now the snake staff is also used in a good way.
Only Lanta is too low in level and has no soul skills, so she can't keep up with everyone's training rhythm at all, and can only practice independently, and Gu You is most worried about her.
Tang San understood Gu You's concerns, Gu You was a strong attack system, and he needed to be at the front, so he couldn't help protect Lanta in the back row. That's why I asked myself.
"Okay." Tang San agreed, if it really didn't work, he would use a hidden weapon, as long as it didn't hurt his life.
Seeing that Gu You ignored himself and whispered to the people behind him, the man was even more angry, waved his big hand, and said, "Little ones, give it to me and take them down." β
With his words, everyone began to release martial spirits.
Most of the people surrounded only have one ring, and the soul rings are mostly white, and yellow hundred-year-old soul rings rarely appear. A few are two-ring Great Soul Masters, except for one who is a double yellow soul ring, the others are one white and one yellow or two white rings.
On the other side, it was much more powerful, and five people flew out of eight yellow soul rings, and the yellow soul ring was more than the fifty people on the opposite side combined. With only five people, the momentum can be combined with fifty people, and even have a slight advantage.
"Sure enough, it's you!" Seeing the soul ring of Gu You and the others, the man became even more emotional, convinced that his judgment was correct, "Give Ah Wei back!" β
"Boar, possessed!"
With the man's words, his already plump body became more massive, his muscles bulged, his legs turned into hooves, and the man grew twenty centimeters taller, looking like a mountain of meat.
The arms are swollen, and hard bristles grow on the arms, which cover the arms densely. A mane grows on the neck, making the originally vicious face look even more vicious.
Most notable is his face, with a stretched mouth and large, curved pale fangs growing from the corners of either mouth. The fangs on one side are larger than on the other, and they are clearly weather-stained.
The two fangs were aimed at Gu You, and the three soul rings of two yellow and one purple swayed up and down, and the fierce momentum surged towards Gu You.
"I said it all, I don't know who Ah Wei is!"
"Dire beast, possessed!" Gu You roared, and the martial soul instantly completed the possession. Although the size is not as large as the other party, the hideous appearance, coupled with the purple thunder light that jumps on his body, makes Gu You's momentum not inferior to the other side at all.
Seeing that Gu You was really "stubborn", the man roared angrily, the first soul ring lit up, and the "tooth protrusion" was activated.
The pale fangs instantly flashed with a metallic luster, and rushed towards Gu You.
Seeing the action on the other side, Gu You also roared angrily, and his legs rose to meet him.
Rumble!
I saw Gu You stretch out his hands, accurately grabbed the man's two fangs, and put his feet on the ground, so that the man could not take a step forward.
A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, none of the two soul rings behind Gu You were lit up, but with his basic qualities, he was comparable to himself who had used the first soul technique.
However, this did not amaze the man, but only deepened his anger.
The only purple soul ring bloomed with light, and the man's eyes were instantly covered with blood red, and the green tendons of his legs, which had changed into hooves, burst out, and he suddenly exerted his strength and crashed towards Gu You.
The thousand-year-old soul skill "Slamming" greatly increases the explosive power and unleashes an impact that surpasses the limit
"Drink!" Gu You pressed his teeth, the muscles of his whole body were tense, relying on the basic quality of the martial soul alone, it was still a little too reluctant to maintain the balance of power, Gu You was pushed behind him little by little, leaving two deep grooves on the ground with his feet.
"What's going on out there?"
A beautiful black girl stood on the top floor of the hotel where Gu You left, looking through the window at the noisy place outside and asking the maid behind her.
"Second Miss, that's just a small group here targeting outsiders, you don't have to worry."
"Before the eldest lady leaves, let me remind you that you must pay attention to rest and cultivate your spirit in order to successfully obtain the second soul ring."
ps: Yesterday's chapter of Moonlight Flower had a lot of friends misunderstood.
First of all, the cost is also random, and not everyone has a soul ring. Secondly, they all said that they were pranks, and naturally not everyone was so good. It is possible for a mage to take madness, a swordsman to chant at high speed, and an assassin to take a mount.
I had planned to write a price that would cost me a certain amount of time to be blind but capable of delivering a super powerful attack. Blindness is cost, and then charge up to attack, because you are blind first and then charge power, so you never hit anyone.
No one would choose a skill like this.
The Moon Goddess's Arrowhead sent Gu You to the cemetery, and a strong attack soul master on the opponent's field returned to the Junior Soul Master Academy (just kidding). Ask for a recommended ticket, ask for a monthly pass~~~
