Chapter 138 Under the Calm Lake

"Thank you, uncle. Please give us a ride."

"Haha, you're welcome."

"Is this the place?" Meng Yiran, who got off the carriage, looked up at the forest and mountains in the distance and asked Lanta beside him.

"Yes, sister Yiran." Lanta nodded and replied, "Soul Beast Forest - a dark place, a gathering place of soul beasts shrouded in darkness."

"If the fragrant garden is the home of fragrant plants. Then this is the paradise of all shadow and dark soul beasts."

"Meng Yiran, you take Xiaowu and Lanta to the hotel first, and Xiaosan and I will collect information. We will enter the soul beast forest tomorrow morning."

Meng Yiran nodded. None of the three of them had enough experience in hunting souls. Lanta didn't need to say much. She was taken by her grandparents to hunt souls, and I heard that Xiaowu was almost the same. Then it would be more appropriate to listen to the experienced Gu You and Tang San.

After the two groups separated, Gu You took Tang San to find the largest restaurant in the town and opened the door. Even in the afternoon, there were many people eating inside.

The two found a corner, ordered a few dishes, and then pricked up their ears to listen carefully to the diners' conversation.

"How was the harvest?"

"Not very good. It turns out that we shouldn't have targeted the Shedding Ninja. It's too difficult to catch it."

...

"How is your family?"

"My wife wrote to me. My mother is in good health. My son will be able to awaken his martial spirit next year. I have to go back."

...

"Have you heard that someone from a big family came to our place to hunt souls, and even booked the entire top floor of the hotel."

"I heard about it too. I don't know which family's eldest son or daughter is so grand."

...

"Have you found Ah Wei?"

"No, still can't find him."

"Damn it, Brother Jie is crazy. We have been searching in the Shadow Land for a week. If this continues, we won't be able to hold on."

"At present, we only know that Ah Wei was attracted by a beam of fire. Brother Jie asked us to search for the soul beast that can emit fire, and Brother Jie is checking all the fire-attributed soul masters in the town."

"It can't be the candlelight spirit. Well, it's just a hundred-year soul beast. It's so funny that Ah Wei was attracted by this thing and couldn't escape, hahaha."

"Hahaha...eat quickly, Ah Wei is still waiting for us somewhere."

"Yeah, okay."

...

"Have you heard that the people from the Spirit Hall seem to be searching for something in the forest now."

"What, the missing Ah Wei?"

"Ah Wei is their Tai Xun Group's business, what does it have to do with the Spirit Hall. I heard from my neighbor that his second uncle's sister's husband's sister's uncle's son works in the Spirit Hall and seems to be looking for someone."

"People, isn't that Ah Wei?"

"Alas, everyone says it's not Ah Wei. If it was, they would have cooperated with Brother Jie from the Tai Xun Group to search."

"Who is the Spirit Hall looking for?"

"Who knows, maybe it's a wanted criminal. We just need to be careful when we go in."

...

After finishing the meal, Gu Youduo ordered a few dishes to be packed and prepared to take them back for those who arrived at the hotel first to taste.

Gu You and Tang San looked at each other and nodded slightly. Gu You smiled and said, "This restaurant tastes really good. No wonder so many people come here."

Tang San also smiled and said, "That's right, we should let them come and try it."

"Pack it up and give it to them. Only then will they know how much they lost by not eating out with us. When the Soul Hunter comes out, we'll bring them here again."

"We'll go in tomorrow. Do you need to buy something?"

"Buy some mosquito repellent. There will probably be a lot of mosquitoes in this place. Buying a map should be enough."

As they said that, the two walked out of the restaurant with the packed food. Behind them, several pairs of eyes stared at their backs as they left.

"Xiao You, what are we going to do next?" Tang San's lips moved slightly, and the tiny voice was accurately transmitted to Gu You's ears. If others saw it, they would only think it was the vibration caused by walking.

Tang San keenly noticed the gazes of many diners. Although he did not feel any malice for the time being, Tang San did not dare to guarantee whether it would become malicious in the future.

That's why he and Gu You acted out a scene in the restaurant, talking about the fact that he had just arrived and the purpose of his visit.

Tang San didn't expect Gu You to be able to detect something wrong, and he didn't expect that he would think of going with him and use talking instead of being checked.

Gu You is indeed very smart, but he is usually careless, which makes people feel that he shouldn't be able to detect it.

"Xiao San, let's go, let's go to the herbal medicine store to see if there is anything to repel insects." Gu You deliberately said loudly, and called Tang San to the herbal medicine store.

Gu You certainly noticed it, and these people didn't cover their sight, just staring at them.

Even if he didn't use his spirit to strengthen his perception, Gu You could find three people looking at him with his peripheral vision.

I don't know what these people think, it's not impossible to pay attention to newcomers who have never seen before, especially in this sensitive period, Gu You can understand it better.

But you will be beaten to death if you act as a scout like this. If you stare at people so obviously, you will probably be beaten if you meet some hot-tempered guys who dare not cause trouble and are mediocre.

"It's okay, Xiao San." Gu You said to Tang San in the same way, his lips moving slightly: "We have a token and a letter of introduction. Let's buy some herbs that are unique to this place later, and call them to go to the Spirit Hall after returning to the inn."

Tang San understood Gu You's meaning, and quickly bought all the herbs he had never seen in the herbal medicine store, and bought a forest map at a high price, and then returned to the hotel at a leisurely pace and at a fast speed.

"Let's go to the Spirit Hall."

Back in the hotel, Gu You pushed open the door and said to Xiao Wu and the other two who were resting inside.

Hearing the seriousness in Gu You's tone, Xiao Wu and the others packed up their things without saying a word, followed Gu You and Tang San at the stairs, and rushed to the Spirit Hall here.

"Damn, we've been discovered." A voice came from the shadows, "Go report to the boss quickly, everyone else, follow me and stop them."

Gu You led everyone to the Spirit Hall quickly. As the tallest and largest building in the town, there is no need to know specifically, as long as you look up, you can see its location.

"Tsk, we're stopped." Seeing the wall of people in front, Gu You curled his lips and asked everyone to stop.

"Brother You, behind."

Turning around, there was also a group of people surrounding them from behind, and the shops on both sides immediately closed down, and everyone was surrounded by the crowd.

"Gu You, what happened here?" Meng Yiran asked in a low voice.

Looking at the number of people, it must be the local snake group here. Meng Yiran didn't think that Gu You and Tang San would provoke a group to this extent in such a short time...

I think so.

Hearing Meng Yiran's question, Gu You also lowered his voice and answered with a wry smile: "The timing of coming this time is not very good. Many things happened here at the same time."

Just as the two were talking quietly, a bald strong man walked out of the crowd. He was 1.8 meters tall and weighed 180 (kg). His face was full of flesh. There was a necklace made of various soul beast bones hanging around his neck, several soul beast skulls hanging around his waist, and a tiger skin cloak on his back.

"Who are you?"

The man's low voice came. His body shape and ferocious expression, coupled with the crowd surrounding everyone, gave people a strong sense of oppression.

Of course, this sense of oppression was useless to Gu You. Among the crowd, only Meng Yiran and Ranta were affected.

Gu You walked out and confronted the man, saying loudly: "We are soul masters from the Junior Soul Master Academy in Notting City. We are here to obtain soul rings."

"Did you capture Ah Wei?"

"Big brother, we just came to the town today and have no idea what happened here."

"Don't quibble," the man's face suddenly became ferocious, and he shouted at Gu You: "Do you think I will believe it?"

"A person who just arrived in the town will go to the restaurant to collect information? Or without the guidance of an adult?"

Now Gu You understood that his and Tang San's overly mature behavior caused others to misunderstand that this was not something a normal child could do.

No, isn't this a fantasy world? It's normal for children to mature early.

This is another misunderstanding of Gu You. It is indeed normal for children in other fantasy worlds to mature early and do things that usually only adults would do.

But this is Douluo, and people with extraordinary talents are led and protected by their elders before they grow up, rather than growing up alone.

Just like Xiao Huohuo next door, although he was protected by Yao Lao, he grew up alone and became the Flame Emperor with wisdom and great luck.

The original Tang San... can only be said to exist, but his presence is not strong.

"Trouble." Gu You thought, looking at the eyes of the man in front of him, he knew that he had completely fallen into his own judgment, no matter what method he used, it would be impossible to convince him, even if he took out the Spirit Hall token.

Except... ... stronger violence than him.

In this situation, the people of the Spirit Hall may have gone into the Soul Beast Forest to find someone, otherwise it would be impossible for the town to become like this.

"Xiao You, there are about fifty people surrounding us. What should we do now, break out?" Tang San asked in a low voice. He also felt that the man in front of him was not right, as if he had completely lost his mind.

"No," Gu You rejected Tang San's suggestion. Breaking out by force would only double the contradictions between the two sides. Even if he asked the Spirit Hall to prove his innocence, he would not believe it, and would only drag the Spirit Hall into the water.

"Xiao San, there might be a fight later, help keep an eye on Lanta." Gu You was not worried about Tang San, Xiao Wu and Meng Yiran, but only worried about whether Lanta would be injured.

He knew the strength of everyone. Except for Meng Yiran who was level 22, Tang San and Xiao Wu were already level 23.

Even Tang San in the original novel could beat Dai Mubai who was over level 30 at level 29. After strengthening with self-created soul skills and tempering the basics, the three people, even if their soul power was lower, could beat an ordinary soul master.

Although Meng Yiran had joined the team for a short time, she was indeed very hard-working in training, and now she can use the snake staff in a good way.

Only Lanta, because of her low level and no soul skills, could not keep up with the training rhythm of everyone, and could only practice independently. Gu You was most worried about her.

Tang San understood Gu You's concerns. Gu You was a strong attack system and needed to be at the front. He could not help protect Lanta in the back row. That's why he asked him.

"Okay." Tang San agreed immediately. If it didn't work, he would use hidden weapons, as long as he didn't hurt his life.

Seeing that Gu You ignored him and was whispering with the people behind him, the man became even more angry. He waved his hand and said, "Young men, go ahead and take them down."

As he spoke, everyone began to release their martial spirits.

Most of the people surrounded had only one soul ring, and the soul rings were mostly white, and there were rarely yellow hundred-year soul rings. A few were two-ring great soul masters, and except for one with two yellow soul rings, the others had one white and one yellow or two white rings.

The other side was much more powerful, with five people flying out eight yellow soul rings, more yellow soul rings than the fifty people on the opposite side combined. With only five people, their momentum could fight against the fifty people combined, and they even had a slight advantage.

"It's you!" Seeing the soul rings of Gu You and others, the man became more excited and convinced that his judgment was correct, "Give Awei back!"

"Wild boar, possessed!"

As the man spoke, his originally plump body became even bigger, his muscles bulged, his legs turned into hooves, and this man grew twenty centimeters taller, looking like a meat mountain.

His arms swelled, and hard bristles grew on his arms, densely covering his arms. Mane grew on his neck, making his originally ferocious face look even more ferocious.

The most noteworthy thing is his face. His mouth is stretched wide, and huge and curved pale fangs grow out of the corners of his mouth on both sides. The fangs on one side are larger than the other side, and there are obvious signs of being weathered.

Two fangs are aimed at Gu You, and the three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, are shaking up and down, and the fierce momentum rushes towards Gu You.

"I said I don't know who A Wei is!"

"Demon beast, possess!" Gu You roared, and the martial spirit instantly completed the possession. Although his body is not as big as the opponent, his ferocious appearance, coupled with the purple lightning leaping on his body, makes Gu You's momentum not inferior to the opponent.

Seeing that Gu You is really "stubborn", the man roared, the first soul ring lit up, and "fang thrust" was launched.

The pale fangs flashed with a metallic luster in an instant and rushed towards Gu You.

Seeing the opponent's actions, Gu You also roared, and his legs exerted force to meet it.

Boom!

Gu You stretched out his hands and accurately grabbed the man's two fangs, and pressed his feet on the ground, making it impossible for the man to move forward.

A trace of surprise flashed in the man's eyes. None of the two soul rings behind Gu You were lit. Just relying on basic qualities, he could be comparable to himself who used the first soul skill.

However, this did not make the man feel amazed, but deepened his anger.

The only purple soul ring burst into light, and the man's eyes were instantly covered with blood red. The veins of his legs that turned into hooves bulged, and he suddenly exerted force and crashed into Gu You.

The thousand-year soul skill "slam" greatly increased the explosive power and used a collision beyond the limit.

"Hah!" Gu You clenched his teeth and tightened his muscles. It was a bit too much to maintain the balance relying on the basic qualities of the martial soul. Gu You was pushed back little by little, and his feet left two deep grooves on the ground.

"What happened outside?"

A beautiful girl with long black hair stood on the top floor of the hotel where Gu You left, looking at the noisy place outside through the window and asked the servant behind her.

"Second Miss, it's just a small group here targeting outsiders, you don't have to worry."

"Before the eldest lady left, I reminded you to pay attention to rest and keep your spirits up so that you can successfully obtain the second soul ring."

PS: Many friends misunderstood the chapter about Moonlight Flower yesterday.

First of all, the cost is also random, not everyone's cost is a soul ring. Secondly, since it's a prank, naturally not everyone's effect is so good. It's possible for a mage to take berserk, a swordsman to take high-speed chanting, and an assassin to take riding.

I originally planned to write a cost of blindness for a certain period of time but being able to launch a super powerful attack. Blindness is the cost, and then charge to launch an attack. Because it goes blind first and then charges, it has never hit anyone.

No one should choose a skill like this.

The arrowhead of the Moon Goddess sent Gu You to the cemetery, and a strong attacking soul master on the opponent's field returned to the Primary Soul Master Academy (just kidding). Please recommend and monthly votes~~~~
