Douluo's coffin Douluo

During the more than half a month that Jiang Li was training in the Soto Spirit Fighting Arena, others were also busy.

Two days after Jiang Li left, Li Yi went to Qingfeng Town to find Yu Yayou and joined the animal trapping team with him. He said that he wanted to train himself...

Although he is a food-type soul master, he feels that he must at least have a certain self-preservation ability like He Xiang. Not to mention agility, he can at least not hold back other partners.

Regarding Li Yi's joining, Yu He saw that it was natural and was very happy to enter the soul beast forest and be a food-type soul master to follow the life. It would have an extra guarantee and reality, which couldn't be better.

Of course, even if Li Yi and Yu Yayou came here voluntarily, their classmates would not let him follow Bai Gan and give him three gold soul coins as a reward every day.

Star Dou Great Forest.

There is a tall building here, including the Mercenary Registration Building. Because this building is on the southwest edge of the Star Dou Forest, it is easy to access. In addition, mercenaries can spontaneously form teams into the forest to hunt spirit beasts. A place like this.

Diagonally across from the mercenary building, there is a small plateau, a green and tender grassland, and a sparse grove in the middle of which a simple wooden house can be seen vaguely.

The gentle breeze blew from time to time, and a very low chicken crow came from the small woods.

In the wooden house, Ling Yin had already tied up her long brown hair and walked out with a patchwork robe on her back, feeling very satisfied.

"Xiaoyin, why are you leaving so soon if you don't stay for more than half a month?"

An elderly couple came out of the house on crutches. Both of them looked at her with a smile and a cheerful look on their faces, with dense folds and fine lines like spider webs climbing up and down their faces.

These two people have a real relationship, He Xiang said, grandparents.

"Sorry, I've been here for half a month. I've caused you trouble, but I also have to go home. You two, please have a good rest."

Ling Yin smiled slightly, waved her hand to He Xiang, and left with her robe on her back.

There were all kinds of snacks made by the two old people, including red bean pies, corn sausages, fish balls... She had to take them on the road to eat whatever they wanted.

After Ling Yin walked for a while, He Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the cabin and walked toward the Star Forest with a heavy heart.

After she left, the area around the wooden house fell into silence. Except for the occasional two crows of chickens, it seemed very quiet. The two old people who were originally amiable disappeared out of thin air the moment they entered the house and closed the door.

There was no trace of life in the dimly lit room, only two yellow leaves.

After a long time, footsteps came from the small yard with a wooden house. He seemed to be a young male mercenary, who was about to knock on the door.

"Squeak."

The door has been opened from the inside, accompanied by the old lady's kind smile and "Who are you looking for?"

……

He Xiang was walking in the Star Forest, feeling more and more relaxed. All the spirit beasts she met along the way did not actively attack her when they saw her, and passed by her like passers-by.

"I haven't seen Grandpa Shu for such a long time and I don't know how he is doing."

He Xiang picked off a tender pink rose and gently smelled the fragrance in the stamens. He felt happy and his steps became more agile and cheerful.

The sky is as clear and bright as sapphire, dotted with all kinds of strange-shaped clouds, the breeze blows at the willows, and the petals send out fragrance. Today is a rare good weather.

However, before she had taken a few steps, she saw pale white soul rings floating in the grass in front of her, as if they were the unwilling souls of the undead.

The rose flower in He Xiang's hand fell, and she quickly took a few steps forward, only to find that there were corpses of spirit beasts everywhere, as well as white spirit rings that seemed to have fallen out just now.

In addition, there are still some dazzling yellow soul rings, but they are shelved like weeds.

The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, mixed with the smell of soil and sweat, which made her nauseous the more she walked.

Finally, walking along the road with more than 20 soul beast corpses, she saw a group of mercenaries.

Everyone looked like there were six people. The boss, who was headed by a uniform black costume and a layer of silver soft armor on his arms, was currently holding a dagger to dissect the corpse of a century-old soul beast with ferocious scars.

"Boss, it's useless to have this thunder source beast. We don't need to sneak faster than a rabbit or catch it for a long time to get it."

A female team member complained next to her.

"Hehe, although its soul ring is not suitable for us, its scale skin and the thunder core in its heart are all there. It will definitely be sold with good armor materials, at a good price."

While the man was talking, a bloody purple crystal core had been cut out from the tumbling flesh. He smiled and said, "Its meat is also a good tonic. We guys can quench our greed for a while."

"That's great, just right for me..."

"What are you doing!"

A sharp shout was thrown at them, and they raised their heads to see He Xiang rushing over with red eyes.

"Of course we are killing soul beasts?"

"Little girl, what are you doing here? Don't blame me for not reminding you that there is a city nearby. The soul beast has you, so don't accidentally get eaten."

The leading man was stunned, laughed, and shook off the blood stains on his hands. Others also laughed and advised her to get out of here quickly.

He Xiang ignored their dissuasion and stared directly at the man.

"I'm asking what you are doing. Even if all six of you want to obtain soul rings, you can't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Those ten-year-old soul beasts won't threaten you and are of no use to you. Do you have to be so cruel and kill them all?"

As He Xiang spoke, his eyes were already red and water beads were swirling.

Everyone in the mercenary group looked puzzled and then the leader stood up and sneered.

"Is it possible for them to attack us and release it? Finding a suitable soul ring is not easy. Who would be so lucky to kill just one? There is a suitable one, little girl. Didn't you have one when you absorbed the soul ring? Have you ever thought about this?"

"Just, why are you meddling in your own business? Why do you want a soul ring? At worst, we can help you kill one."

Others also snubbed, ridiculed, and their good mood was ruined by her.

He Xiang clenched his fists, glanced at each of them with red eyes, and shouted.

"Then I hope you meet a thousand-year-old soul beast and it swallows you up in one bite!"

After saying that, she wiped away her tears and quickly passed through the soul rings floating on the surrounding grass, as if this was her hell on earth and she didn't want to stay for another moment.

"If you don't know whether to live or die, it's best to let the spirit beast swallow her up."

"Okay, okay, don't pay attention to her. Take the time today to help you two get the third soul ring. We still have tasks to do tomorrow..."

"Then I don't care if the boss has my third soul ring, I must have it. Hong Ying of the Thousand-year-old Fiery Mercenary Group shows off her purple soul ring to me every day, but I have long been displeased with her!"

"...Well, try your best."

In the center of the Star Forest, there is a towering tree that covers a small world like a sea of ​​green. The dark silk ribbons are hanging down, as if they were transformed into green silk threads transformed by time. Each strand is simple and natural.

"Woooooooo..."

He Xiang kept running all the way, and with his last hand holding the towering tree, Youcai leaned slumped against the trunk, lowering his head and sobbing.

A green light resembling a human face gradually appeared above the tree trunk. Looking at He Xiang who was not crying, he let out an ancient and distant sigh.

"He Xiangyou, as a 10-year-old soul beast, you have gone to the human world for so many years. You should have accepted this common thing between soul beasts and humans. Why are you still crying?"

He Xiang brushed through a strand of hair that was stuck with tears and shook his head desperately.

"I know it makes sense, I understand it, but you don't know Grandpa Shu. When you see that scene with your own eyes, you won't be able to help but feel uncomfortable..."

"Well, there are humans who hunt soul rings, and there are soul beasts that kill humans out of self-defense. This has become an iron law of nature, and it's completely normal."

"Now that you have made up your mind to become a human being, there is no turning back."

"Either you will turn into dust in a hundred years, or as you said, only by becoming a god can you escape the shackles of fate..."

"I will."

He Xiang raised his head and his eyes flashed with unswerving determination and courage.

"If not, I wouldn't choose to transform in order to become a god. Millions of years are too long. I don't want to live a lonely and boring life, so I want to truly live for myself."

"If I don't become a god within a hundred years, I will never give up..."

He Xiang stood up, his thin body bursting with strong determination and confidence.

The giant spirit tree behind her fell silent for a moment, and then a crystal leaf fell down as if carved by time.

"Six years have passed. Have you refined this leaf? It can at least cover your aura."

Such a leaf is the result of the giant spirit tree's 1 years of cultivation. Every six years, He Xiang will be able to refine and absorb the soul beast's aura to cover his body.

He Xiang nodded and knew whether he was being pretentious or not. He sat down and started refining quietly.

If she becomes a god, although she cannot protect the soul beasts on the mainland, at least she can protect her home and friends, even if she is a land and water...

He Xiang closed his eyes, and the tears on his cheeks were blown dry by the wind, leaving only a faint trace of tears.
