While arguing with Osamu Dazai, he boarded the carriage under the silent gaze of others. Hara stumbled and almost hit his head on the door panel.

The man in black beside him quickly supported him with quick eyes and hands.

After Yuan Yi stood firm, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to say thanks: "Thank you...have we met somewhere?"

He blinked and his eyes stayed on the other person's ordinary and featureless face for a moment, feeling an awkward sense of familiarity coming over him.

"You are wrong." The man in black lowered his head, his voice flat and ethereal.

After a brief thought, Yuan Yi decisively gave up searching in his memory, "Okay, sorry."

Yuan Yi pulled out the bandage that was wandering randomly under his clothes, casually wrapped the white strip of cloth around his wrist, quickly tied it into a tight knot, and then got into the car safely.

"The journey is a bit long, please sit tight."

The voice of the man in black came faintly from outside, and Yuan Yi raised his voice slightly in response.

"drive!"

The group set off immediately.

The wooden wheels of the carriage grind the ground, making a knocking sound against the hard stones. The noisy crowds and the aroma of roadside snacks are lingering together, and they get into the sealed space together, but are quickly left behind.

The bustling scene faded away, and the scene of hard work in the village was also thrown away. The group of people headed towards the Soul Beast Forest in silence and order.

The destination, Star Dou Forest.

Star Dou Forest is located on the border between Star Luo Empire and Tian Dou Empire. The soul beast forest closest to Wuhun Palace is famous for its number of soul beasts. It is the best choice for most soul masters to hunt soul beasts.

Due to the special nature of martial arts, Yuan Yi was destined not to be able to choose a soul ring according to his own wishes, but it was also this particularity that led to the difficult problem of choosing a soul ring. What kind of soul beast should be chosen to be a perfect fit?Yuan Yi lay on the bed and thought about it all night, but decided to wait to be arranged.After all, the Pope would not let him die young.

The longer journey was a bit boring, so Haraichi sat with his knees in his arms, sitting in the corner of the carriage playing with the bandages in his hands.

Suddenly he said: "Is he your friend? That... the person you call a slug."

As soon as he finished speaking, the white bandage stayed stagnant for a breath, then twisted violently in his hands, protesting lively, and stretched out its tentacles to wrap around Yuan Yi's neck.

The warm-touch cloth slipped into the warm crook of his neck and stuck tightly to his skin, tightening it symbolically.

Yuan Yi laughed, "It seems so."

The black-clothed soul master in charge of driving tightened the reins and glanced sideways at the car with closed doors and windows behind him.

Even if he heard the noise, he treated it as nothing happened, and Gujing Wubo's heart steadily suppressed his undue curiosity.

Time passed slowly, and after a long journey, the carriage finally approached the entrance of the forest. The guard saw the pattern on the carriage that belonged to Wuhun Hall from a distance, and hurriedly called on the people around him to open the fence.

The horse neighed, its hooves stamped, and rushed straight in according to the driver's wishes.

The Star Dou Forest occupies a vast area and consists of a large area of ​​primeval forest. There are countless soul beasts living here. Most of the soul beasts on the periphery of the forest are soul beasts that are thousands of years old and below, while the inner parts are more dangerous ten thousand-year soul beasts. Therefore, Yuan Yi and others can only You just need to choose soul beasts on the periphery.

Although it is called the outskirts, the towering trees at the edge of the forest are enough to block out the sky and the sun, and fill the ground with shadow.

The sweet soil mixed with the dew after the rain exuded a unique smell. Yuan Yi sniffed it, opened the car curtain, and saw a mysterious scenery in his sight——

Tall trees towering into the clouds, low bushes intertwined with lush green grass, unknown flowers mixed in, blooming quietly.Listen attentively, you will hear the chirping of birds and roars of animals, and the rustling sound of wind passing through the bumping leaves, forming a silent music.

Tree roots as thick as an adult's waist are entangled on the ground, giant flower buds breathe and grow quietly, and fluorescent light spots float in the air, slowly staying in every corner.

Shockingly beautiful.

Yuan Yi actually stood on this piece of soft land, admiring it with admiration and admiring it.

A pair of beast eyes hiding in the dark looked at the unfamiliar carriage coldly, taking the non-threatening Yuan Yi as their hunting target.

The vocal cords began to vibrate, and the Centennial Fire Fox couldn't wait to issue the order to attack.

"Crack."

The fallen leaves were crushed by something, and something was approaching.

The screams of the summoned tribe were stuck in its throat, and the fiery red fox turned around keenly. It noticed that there were other soul beasts around it, until the shadow exuding a scarlet-sweet scent broke into its field of vision.

It subconsciously took a step back.

The uninvited guest is two meters tall, with a total of eight legs. The exposed shell is hard and tightly wraps the soft abdomen. The front chelicerae are covered with barbs, and the venom glands at the end are dripping with venom.

"hiss--"

The spider hissed, and the fishy poisonous gas was quickly contaminated, instantly scaring away the strong fire foxes. A group of foxes jumped out of the bushes and fled with their tails between their legs.

Yuan Yi recognized it: "Firefox?"

Soul masters below level [-] must not be left alone when entering the soul beast forest. If anything unusual occurs, they must flee immediately, otherwise they will easily be killed by the soul beasts.

Yuan Yi was afraid of his life, his intuition was not good, he touched the dagger on his waist with his right hand, quickly took a few steps back and approached the man in black.

"Uncle, follow..."

"boom--"

The wind blew past him.

The man in black robe was taken away by the huge shadow, and in just a blink of an eye, he suddenly landed dozens of meters away. The trees along the way broke and collapsed, and the ground shook with lingering power.

Yuan Yi's pupils dilated.

The tips of his hair were raised, and blood spots fell on his cheeks.

He turned back quickly, his rapid breathing causing his chest to rise and fall rapidly, and he was almost out of breath.

As far as the eye could see, there was a mess, and there was only a large hazy black shadow among the flying dust. The huge monster finally let out a shrill scream that humans could not understand. It swung its eight pointed spider legs, revealing a dark red liquid. of poisonous pincers.

Under it is a man in black who knows whether he is alive or dead.

It's an earth spider!

Yuan instantly recognized the type of soul beast.

It is a carnivorous soul beast with strong venom. It is good at attacking with its pincers. At the same time, its hard spider shell is comparable to the famous armored turtle for defense. Its poisonous pincers will grow ten centimeters longer every 100 years. From this, we can roughly estimate the age of the spider. Around 400 years.

It seemed dissatisfied with the unconscious man in black, and regarded Yuan Yi as delicious food again.

Facing those clear yellow and turbid beast eyes, facing the surging murderous intent, Yuan Yi almost forgot how to breathe, but he remembered to escape.

Lift up your legs that are heavy with fear, use all your strength, turn around and run!

Run, run, run!

The huge monster might be able to catch up with him soon, but Yuan Yi didn't dare waste time and look back.

Moreover, the ground was undulating, and you would step into a pit if you weren't careful. Just avoiding falling would have used up all Haraichi's attention.

"Whoosh hoot—"

Yuan Yi could hear his own breathing, and even feel the smell of rust in his dry throat.

But he dared not stop.

Yuan Yi didn't think that his martial soul could defeat an earth spider. Even if the spider's soul power was interrupted, it still had hard armor and sharp poisonous pincers, and its fragile human body was still vulnerable to it.

Moreover, the prerequisite for interrupting soul power is that the bandage can touch the opponent.

In this case, the price for arrogant attempts is death.

"Whoosh hoot—"

The lungs were squeezed to work, trying their best to squeeze out oxygen and supply it to the tired limbs.

It’s almost...I can’t run anymore...

With the threat of death following him like a shadow, Yuan Yi tried his best to make his steps bigger and bigger, running towards the exit as hard as he could.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The huge monster pursued him relentlessly, and broken trees kept falling behind him. The sweet smell of the poisonous glands made Yuan Yi even more dizzy. A tree root protruded under his feet when he was not paying attention. stumble.

"Well!"

He rolled around awkwardly, barely raising his eyes to look for the shadow of the earth spider.

When he faced those beast eyes again, his ears were numb and his heartbeat was racing. Faced with the century-old soul beast and death, Yuan Yi was sweating all over. He tried hard to adjust his breathing and held the dagger tightly in his hand.

He was being targeted, no doubt about it.

Weakness, weakness...

He tried his best to run his groggy head, not daring to blink. Sweat fell from his forehead. Yuan Yi narrowed his eyes and resisted the instinct to blink. The angle of the backlight even reflected the hairs on the abdomen of the earth spider.

……

Wait, Yuan Yi almost thought he had seen it wrong.

The filaments hanging between the head, thorax and abdomen of the earth spider and on the four spider legs...

Like a controlled puppet, all the joints are connected with thin invisible filaments, and every move is influenced by the people behind the scenes. It is a soulless, empty shell.

Yuan Yi choked for breath.

——Finally found it.

The voice in my head said teasingly.

"It's...her." Yuan Yi breathed out.

Everything clears up.

Before setting off, he was suddenly stumbled by other things, the man in black suddenly disappeared after being attacked by a spirit beast, and the earth spider regarded him as the first target. Everything was a web laid for him.

Set all the traps step by step, choose the perfect moment, and wait for the pieces to fall into place.

Yuan Yi twitched the corners of his lips, his nose was red, and he showed an ugly smile, with tears in his eyes.

"Master..."

——Hey, it’s not like that!

——Don’t shed tears for that woman, you fool!

The white bandage was disgusted and rubbed against Yuan Yi who suddenly had an emotional breakdown.

Warm tears fell from the frames of his eyes, Yuan Yi's lips moved, and his nasal voice was unclear: "It's so annoying."

So annoying.

Why can't we always hide in the illusion of warmth and act like a child who doesn't know anything? Maybe we won't have to face the dirty side of this beautiful world.

Obviously I am already very good, but I obviously don’t want to be like this...

He raised his dagger.

With tears remaining at the end of his red eyes, he cried and laughed. A smile appeared on his lovable face again, and he stabbed the dagger down fiercely in his childish smile.

"Pfft."

The sharp dagger pierced the soft head, and the undefended weakness was breached.

The monster in front of him suddenly fell to the ground, and the thin threads wrapped around it broke and quickly dissipated in the wind, as if it had never appeared.

Hara Yi pulled out the dagger with trembling hands, and the sticky red and white semi-solid flowed down the blade.

He fell into a warm embrace.

The Pope held him in his arms, and surrounded him with a mother-like warm voice, "Master is late, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

Yuan Yi huddled in her arms obediently, his eyes drifted far away, and he murmured: "...Master?"

He smiled again.

Repeated in a low voice: "It turns out it's Master."

- Terrible adults.
