"Can't sleep?" In the dark forest, Qianjie was in a daze on the treetops. The hunter naturally had to keep someone on guard at night, even if there was an old man secretly protecting him, but the sound of the girl cautiously walking out of the tent woke him up.
"Yeah." The girl nodded hesitantly. The first time she hunted twice in her life, she didn't go deep into the Star Dou Forest. The second time, there was a ninth-level soul master. A group of people like this were in a dark forest. This is my first time staying overnight.
The kind that doesn't even have a fire - lighting a fire in the forest can easily lead to siege by spirit beasts. Even if the group is not afraid, one more thing is worse than one less thing.
"What do you want to talk about?" Qianjie jumped down from the treetop, unable to sleep in the Star Dou Forest, so he could only chat.
"Brother, where will we go in the future?" Huo Yulin's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people in the tent behind him.
Leaving Shrek has become inevitable, but what about after leaving? Probably going to Sun and Moon?
The girl actually has no destination or pursuit. So far, she has spent nearly three-quarters of her life in the small area of the Duke's Palace and rarely goes out.
She naturally has expectations and fears about unfamiliar environments.
"Sun and Moon Empire." Sure enough, Qianjie's answer did not exceed Huo Yulin's expectations.
This is actually the answer they all know. Regardless of whether Qianjie is familiar with the Sun-Moon Empire or not, the identity of the Holy Spirit Cult means that there are not many places Qianjie can choose unless he leaves the Holy Spirit Cult.
But if you want to escape from this magical power, there is only one possibility - death.
Even though Qianjie has not been back for a long time and has not visited the Holy Spirit Cult’s stronghold, even though the Holy Spirit Cult may still be shouting at him to kill him...
He is still a member of the Holy Spirit Cult, from the moment he took the martial soul oath - so it has always been a false proposition for members of the Holy Spirit Cult to abandon evil and embrace good.
"Can you tell me about the situation in the Sun and Moon Empire?" Huo Yulin naturally wrapped his arms around Qianjie's neck and asked the young man to pick her up like a princess.
"It's not like I haven't told you before." Qianjie looked up and looked at the distance between the treetops and the ground, and measured his own jumping power. Finally, he could only sigh and look at the girl in his arms, "I said a lot. Come on, don’t eat so much, it’s very heavy.”
In fact, it's not heavy, it's a normal girl's weight, but it is indeed much heavier than the night she walked out of the Duke's Palace on his back.
There is also the shoulder-length blue hair, which is always caressing people's faces, making it itchy, and the legs, which have been changed from men's trousers to silk fabrics, are smooth with a hint of Comfortable friction...
Unknowingly, from a tomboy to a girl full of femininity, even though her development is still only that of Xiaohe, there are some ups and downs.
"Also, this is the Star Dou Forest, this is soul hunting. Wearing stockings and school uniforms, don't you worry about stumbling and stumbling?!" Qianjie cursed lightly, looked around, and saw the camouflaged black wings behind his back. Extended.
This can only fly.
"If I were skinny and a bamboo pole that fell over in the wind, you wouldn't like it, would you?" Huo Yulin fell from Qianjie's arms to the treetops and retorted quite confidently, "As for this outfit, not all girls are like this. Are you dressed like this? Why don’t you tell them?!”
Qianjie was stunned for a moment, it seemed that all the women in the team were dressed like this.
"I didn't raise them, so why should I care about them?"
"Then brother, please find me a set of clothes suitable for walking in the forest. I only have women's clothes." The girl wiped the treetops with a paper towel, and then sat on Qianjie's lap without noticing anything.
The uneven surface of the treetops is not suitable for a girl wearing a short skirt to sit down.
"I didn't." Qianjie did not stop Huo Yulin's behavior, and stretched out his arms to hug the girl to prevent her from falling off the treetop.
In fact, his own body is also not suitable for activities in the forest. A long windbreaker is easier to pull on branches and the like than short skirts and stockings.
But soul masters regard this as a kind of cultivation.
"Tell me something." Huo Yulin hugged Qianjie's neck tightly, his blue eyes shining brightly in the dark night.
She was referring to the Sun and Moon Empire.
"Sun and Moon..." Qianjie scratched the girl's nose, "You will probably directly enter the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. I don't know much about this place because I have almost never been there, although in theory I am also there. student.
"Your brother, the only thing I can tell you is that even if we don't interact with each other, try not to conflict with some of them. First of all, there is one named Xu Tianzhen, who is Xu Tianran's sister. She has purple hair that is easy to recognize; one named Orange, She is nominally Xu Tianran's maid, but in fact she is Xu Tianran's adopted daughter. She has golden hair on her head and is easier to recognize. There is also a brother and sister, two white-haired members of the Hongchen family...
“These people are either members of the Sun and Moon royal family, or they have close relationships with the ninth-level soul masters of Sun and Moon, and they are all frequent visitors to Mingde Hall.
"If there is a conflict, your brother and I can protect you, but one more thing is worse than one less thing. Of course, generally speaking, they don't like to conflict with others if the bottom line is not involved."
"Baimao? It seems like you are still very familiar with me, brother?" Huo Yulin instantly became alert.
"Like your brother and I, we have been hanging out in Mingde Hall all year round. We are similar in age, how can we not be familiar with each other?!" Qianjie scratched the tip of Huo Yulin's nose, and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, "As for those two white hairs, are they related? It’s good, but it’s just a relationship between friends.”
"Oh~" Huo Yulin breathed a sigh of relief, "What about Mingdetang? Brother, you haven't told me carefully yet."
"Mingde Hall is full of old men and women. They will be very happy if you talk to them about soul guides. If you talk to them about anything else, they will generally be less interested."
"No, I'm referring to the more secretive things, or the rules in Mingdetang that are rarely known to outsiders."
"In terms of rules, does it count for a ninth-level soul engineer to lead a research team? You will probably join the team under the master like me. Of course, large research teams are generally more complicated, and interpersonal relationships are inevitable, and intrigues are inevitable. You have to If you don’t want to, you can also join the small team under Senior Brother.”
"Small team?"
"Generally, teams are led by outstanding talents or high status but not ninth-level soul engineers. Senior brother is busy in the Shrek soul guidance department, so he may not have exercised the idea of leading a large research team. After all, he is also fast A ninth-level soul engineer."
"What about the secret thing?"
"The secret is: Mingdetang itself is a soul guidance device. It is a very large soul guidance device. No one has figured out its function yet and can activate it."
"What do you mean?" Huo Yulin tilted his head.
"It was dug out from ancient ruins. As for when it was dug out, no one knows. Before the two continents collided, the overall environment of the Sun and Moon Continent was not very peaceful.
"Many people think that Mingde Hall was built in Mingdu so that the Sun and Moon Royal Family can better control this behemoth, but in fact it is the other way around. Mingdu was originally established due to the various needs of the soul masters in Mingde Hall for the outside world. of……"
Huo Yulin has a lot of questions. It can be seen that she is really looking forward to and fearing the country that she has never been to, which has been the villain in various rumors about the Douluo Three Kingdoms. Therefore, she wants to remember every message Qianjie tells her in her heart.
Qianjie is not bored, talking about things that he may or may not have talked about in the past, about the sun and the moon - the time when he really set foot in the soul master world, and his understanding of this world, almost all of it was his experience in the sun and the moon. , it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a second hometown.
Although his sense of belonging to this second hometown is dispensable...
He looked towards the forest filled with darkness and insects. After all, his second hometown was not his real hometown.
He lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms. Perhaps it was because the familiar scent beside him made him feel at ease, but the girl had fallen into a visibly sleepy state.
Qianjie stopped talking at the right time, and then...
"Oh~ don't throw it away. If you had a different will, you wouldn't recognize me, would you?! Isn't it your girl who was thrown away?!" At the same time as the exclamation sounded, Qianjie's arms wrapped around her tighter.
"Tsk, you also know that it's a body? Yulin's front legs just fell asleep, and your back legs came out. Aren't you afraid that this body will die from overwork?" Qianjie didn't really throw the person in his arms down, he just looked at it. Looking at those purple eyes that lit up in the night, he was quite unhappy, "Also, are you a cat? Who do you want to scare with such bright eyes?"
"You can say I'm a dragon or a lizard, but you can't say I'm a cat. Who is that kind of thing?!" Gu Yue quickly retorted. This is a fact. Soul beasts are actually quite unfavorable to cats, at least Xing Dou The spirit beasts in the forest don't like cats very much - once a tiger spirit beast appears that may break through to a ferocious beast, the ferocious beasts at the top of the Star Dou Forest will kill it without hesitation.
Obviously there are no dragons that are not canines, and there are no legends about cats and dragons becoming enemies.
But Gu Yue's purple eyes, which were as bright as a flashlight in the darkness, did dim.
"If you have nothing to do, just go back and let this body have a good rest." If you don't want to throw it away, you won't throw it away, but Qianjie's attitude is obviously not very good.
"Get it clear, this is my territory, please show some respect!" The Star Dou Forest is indeed the Silver Dragon King's territory.
"Oh~" Qianjie's voice was very long, and it was only when the person in his arms came close to him that he started to open his mouth, and then he stopped this connotative tone, "This is your territory, right? Then give it to me." Sacrifice the entire beast? It’s not too demanding. If you sacrifice all the beasts in the Star Dou Forest, it should be easy for me to be promoted to the title, right?"
"Although it's midnight, it's not suitable for you to dream, right?" Gu Yue smacked her lips, "You want to be promoted to the title with five ferocious beast soul rings?"
Isn’t the biggest trouble of persuading ferocious beasts to sacrifice not a trouble?
"I have two martial spirits." Qianjie responded to Gu Yue while falling into deep thought.
How good was the relationship between this big lizard and the first-generation angel god that he was willing to be sacrificed by the ferocious beasts? Or is there any other hidden secret?
"Theoretically, it's possible, but you first have to consider how many sacrifices your body and soul can bear. Can your body and soul bear it? Sacrifice can indeed ignore the carrying limits of the body and soul, but everything has a limit." Gu Yue smiled. Looking at him, "Secondly, you have to consider whether this method of improvement, which is the same as initiation, will have an impact on you becoming a god and being able to exert some strength.
"I don't understand sacrifice and becoming a god. It's all up to you." Qianjie wanted to shrug, but considering that there was someone else in his arms, he just let it go, "If you can't, just sacrifice to me."
"It's okay to sacrifice a few times now and then. Don't expect to become a strong man by sacrificing soul beasts. If you can become a god and a strong man through simple energy superposition, soul beasts won't have to endure the endless hunting of humans."
Qianjie was speechless and didn't say it clearly, but his rejection was very clear.
"Okay, no more joking. I came out to ask, do you have any thoughts on the soul ring that Yulin is going to get this time?" It was indeed a joke. Looking at Qianjie, he really wanted a group of ferocious beasts to chase him. Sacrifice, he might run faster than anyone else.
For the same reason, he actually doesn't like the soul master system that much, or in other words, he doesn't like soul rings that much.
"What else can you think about? Find a spiritual soul beast that is about ten thousand years old. Don't tell me that you are not allowed to hunt the soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest." After passing a ferocious beast soul ring, Huo Yulin also had three superimposed soul bones. There is no possibility that he cannot bear the ten thousand year soul ring.
"That's not a big deal. Do you have any ideas about changing to a better soul ring?"
"For example?" Qianjie was stunned, but he didn't refuse. Anyway, he didn't understand soul beasts like Gu Yue.
"Are you interested in a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast?"
"Didn't you just say that it's best not to sacrifice too many times?"
"Not too much doesn't mean you can only accept one sacrifice."
"Oh, what are you going to name the hundred thousand year soul beast?" There's no reason to refuse the meat that's brought to your mouth, right?
"A soul beast with attributes of destiny and life."
Qianjie suddenly looked at Gu Yue strangely. Forgive him for his lack of knowledge about the attributes of fate, he could only think of one thing for the time being.
Can this be used as a sacrifice?
"Don't think too much, I'm not referring to auspicious beasts." Gu Yue instantly realized what Qianjie was thinking, "Anyway, just find an opportunity tomorrow to take Yulin away from the army, and I'll have someone come find you. of."
"Let me tell you, are you really not considering sacrificing yourself to me?"
"You are you, Yulin is Yulin."
"Then I want the gold of living things. This requirement should be satisfied, right?" It is still clear to Qianjie that the lake of life is full of gold of living things.
"As long as you dare to come to the Lake of Life." Gu Yue had that unpredictable smile on her face again.
"I really dare to go." Qianjie looked at Gu Yue seriously. He had already entered the Star Dou Forest. It made no difference whether he went to the Lake of Life or not. As long as he wanted to, Di Tian could catch him at any time with one claw like a chicken. captured.
The kind that even Munn can't stop. After all, Munn is just an extreme old man who lacks vitality. At most, a few more ferocious beasts can hold him back.
"Okay, let's make an agreement first, at most one piece, and I will use the rest for my own healing."
"When did you have the illusion that I want it all? Do I seem to be such a greedy person?"
"Let me tell you, you can be more greedy, such as beauty and so on."
"I don't want to be greedy for beauty. You don't have to worry about whether you want to take the exam or not. I will solve the soul ring of Lang Bao'er together. The requirements are not high, any thousand-year soul beast will do." Huo Yulin is not the only one who is hunting for soul rings this time. Alone, Lang Baoer also caught up with the progress through a few pills.
"No, let her find it by herself. You and Yulin are special."
"Okay, go to bed quickly. I'm not kidding you. When the soul is switched like this, the soul will be fine, but the body may really be exhausted."
Ziyi in his arms fell silent obediently, and Qianjie turned his head.
"Did you hear this clearly? Tomorrow I will probably find a reason to go out for a while to help cover up."
