Chapter 211 Awakening
Not far from the several Soul Masters who were still discussing.
There were also three Soul Masters whispering among themselves.
The three soul masters were originally dressed in relatively luxurious clothing.
Now it's covered in stains.
He looked rather disheveled.
Judging from the fatigue and weakness on his face, it was as if he had overdrawn his soul power.
And that lingering look of fear on his face, it seemed as if he had just escaped from some dangerous vortex.
"Hmm? It turns out to be a level 50 Soul Master and two level 40 Soul Venerables. Just in time for them to hunt for Soul Rings to advance their ranks."
Flander wore a gloating smile, his sharp eagle eyes casually scanning the entire scene, his gaze sweeping over the three Soul Masters.
"Judging from their disheveled appearance, they probably encountered that female Soul Saint slaughtering soul beasts, or got caught up in the battle between the female Soul Saint and the 40,000-year-old scaled behemoth, right? So, they failed to hunt for a soul ring and can't advance?"
"Hehehe, these three look like they're having a run of bad luck too."
Flander's grin widened even further.
He feels inexplicably happy when he sees others having bad luck.
Recently, my worries about Shrek Academy's precarious financial situation have suddenly eased a bit.
The kind of happiness that comes from seeing other people's misfortune is really exhilarating.
Flanders thought to himself silently.
He curiously examined the three Soul Masters for a while, deriving enough pleasure, before preparing to look away.
However, the next second, he suddenly stopped, and his smile froze on his face.
But then they heard one of the three Soul Masters.
A slightly thin young Soul Master whispered to the tall, middle-aged Soul Master beside him:
"Big brother, the female Soul Saint they're talking about must be that crazy woman, Liu Erlong, right?"
The middle-aged Soul Master nodded in affirmation upon hearing this:
"It must be her. Who else could it be?"
"I never imagined that she was targeted by a 40,000-year-old scaled behemoth? Luckily we escaped quickly this time, otherwise, even if we didn't die at the hands of that crazy woman Liu Erlong, we would have died in the mouth of that scaled behemoth."
The other two were also shocked when they first heard about the 40,000-year-old scaled beast.
Glancing at his two shocked companions, the middle-aged Soul Master continued:
"However, this was to be expected."
"What kind of place is Sunset Forest? It's a forbidden zone for humans, a gathering place for soul beasts, and their cradle."
"Normally, a Soul Master can hunt a few Soul Beasts to make Soul Rings, and the high-level Soul Beasts deep in the forest won't bother with them. But if you're going to slaughter Soul Beasts like crazy there, then the situation is different."
"After all, humans and soul beasts have always been sworn enemies. If this is seen as a war by the soul beasts, it could trigger a large-scale beast tide, which could impact even Heaven Dou City."
"Therefore, if that crazy woman Liu Erlong continues to slaughter like that, it's only a matter of time before she gets targeted by the high-level soul beasts deep in the Sunset Forest."
"Fortunately, only a few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have appeared this time, which means things haven't gotten to the point where they're getting really bad."
"This may also be related to Liu Erlong's own strength. After all, she is only a Soul Saint with a Soul Power of Level 75. No matter how much she slaughters, she can only slaughter a small patch of soul beasts in the forest. Compared to the vast Sunset Forest and the numerous soul beast groups, the soul beasts lost due to slaughter are only a small fraction."
After the middle-aged Soul Master finished speaking, he felt waves of lingering fear.
He comes from a good family and knows a lot about Sunset Forest. He also has a thorough understanding of the hostile relationship between humans and soul beasts, and he speaks about it in a very logical and reasonable way.
"Such a thing actually happened?"
The other two were greatly shocked and filled with lingering fear after hearing the middle-aged soul master's words.
They never imagined that the consequences of slaughtering soul beasts could be so terrifying.
If things really develop to that point, wouldn't the three of them also become sinners against humanity?
Thinking of this, the other two couldn't help but feel a chill and shivered.
"Ahem, don't worry, a beast tide isn't that easy to trigger. What I just said was actually a bit of an exaggeration, hahaha."
Looking at the two people who were stunned and speechless, the middle-aged soul master coughed lightly and then laughed heartily.
"Brother, can you stop scaring people?"
Upon hearing this, the young Soul Master of medium build among the other two immediately turned pale and couldn't help but speak up in reproach.
"that is."
The young Soul Master was thin and had a somewhat dark complexion.
"I just wanted to lighten the mood since you all looked so scared."
The middle-aged Soul Master gave an awkward smile.
"What the hell is this 'trying to lighten the mood' thing? You almost scared us to death! And you talk like you weren't scared at all. When that woman Liu Erlong went crazy, weren't you the one who ran the fastest?"
The two young Soul Masters exchanged a glance, both seeing speechlessness in each other's eyes.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."
The middle-aged soul master's expression turned serious as he carefully scanned his two companions. "Remember, once we return to the city, do not spread the word about that crazy woman, Liu Erlong, slaughtering soul beasts in Sunset Forest, lest it cause any unnecessary trouble."
"Brother, we understand."
The two young Soul Masters nodded in unison, knowing full well the implications.
"On the other hand, Liu Erlong was a stunning beauty, but unfortunately she was a madwoman. It's a real pity."
The middle-aged Soul Master suddenly sighed.
"Indeed. Being targeted by a 40,000-year-old scaled behemoth, it probably wouldn't survive. What a pity."
The other two also sighed at the same time.
"Forget it, let's go. Let's hurry into the city and rest for a while. We can talk about hunting for spirit rings later."
Having said that, the middle-aged Soul Master took the lead and headed towards the city gate.
only.
He had just taken one foot out.
Suddenly, a tall and muscular figure appeared before them, blocking their path.
The middle-aged Soul Master frowned, took a step back, and looked up. What he saw was an owl, no, a long-haired shoehorn.
"Friend, is there something you need?"
The middle-aged Soul Master was taken aback when he was suddenly blocked. Although he was a little annoyed, he still politely asked a question.
The person blocking his way was Flander.
At this moment, the gloating on his face was gone, replaced by a look of gloom, excitement, agitation, and worry.
"Who is this madman you're talking about? Repeat what you just said!"
Flander looked at the three of them and said in a deep voice.
"Who are you? Just because you tell us to repeat it, does that mean we have to repeat it for you?"
Hearing the commanding tone of the person blocking the way, before the middle-aged Soul Master could say anything, the thin young Soul Master couldn't hold back any longer.
"Get out of the way, don't block the way."
Another young Soul Master of medium build frowned and reprimanded him unhappily.
At the same time, he reached out, trying to push Flander aside, who was blocking the three of them.
However, his attempt to push the object away felt as if he were hitting a mountain.
The person blocking the way remained completely still.
The young soul master couldn't help but increase his strength, even adding his own soul power, but he still couldn't make him move an inch.
"you?"
The young Soul Master stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked.
"Something's wrong, back off quickly."
The middle-aged Soul Master also noticed the abnormality and hurriedly reached out to pull the young Soul Master back, but he was a step too late.
"I said, tell me what you just said."
Flander's face was grim, and a huge owl suddenly appeared behind him, its powerful soul force erupting forth.
At the same time, seven spirit rings, yellow, purple, black, and dark, rose from beneath his feet, rising and falling rhythmically around his body.
boom--
A muffled thud.
The young Soul Master, whose palm was on Flander, was instantly blasted away by the sudden burst of Soul Power.
Fortunately, the middle-aged Soul Master behind him reacted quickly and used his Soul Power to stop him from behind.
But the two of them still slid back several meters.
The middle-aged Soul Master felt a heavy weight in his chest.
The young Soul Master coughed up a mouthful of blood and his aura weakened.
The sudden surge of soul power caused chaos in the surrounding area.
Pedestrians in the vicinity quickly moved away from the area.
At the city gate, the city guards responsible for maintaining order and checking passersby noticed the disturbance and rushed over.
But upon seeing the culprit who caused the riot, with his seven gleaming spirit rings, and realizing that he was actually a Spirit Saint, the city guard knight swallowed back the rebuke he was about to utter.
They could only pretend not to see it, maintain order in the surrounding area, and even deliberately leave a large open space.
After all, the strongest city-guarding knights are only Great Soul Masters.
To them, a Soul Saint is a being far above all else.
Even in a place like Heaven Dou City, they possess special privileges.
"Hun, Soul Saint?"
The thin young soul master standing next to him was filled with horror, his legs trembling and his lips quivering.
He was clearly frightened.
"Are you Flander, the four-eyed owl?"
The middle-aged Soul Master was much calmer. Upon seeing the emerging Cat-Owl Martial Soul, he instantly recognized the identity of the person blocking his way.
"Now that you know who I am, you should know what I want to know?"
Flanders was slightly surprised, but his expression remained gloomy.
"You've come for Liu Erlong?"
The middle-aged Soul Master carefully considered his words before asking the question.
That's right, it's rumored that Liu Erlong and Flander know each other and are both members of the "Golden Iron Triangle." The middle-aged Soul Master remembered.
Flanders must have overheard their conversation.
Talking about someone's companions to their face, no wonder they stopped the three of them.
The middle-aged Soul Master was somewhat embarrassed at this moment.
"Good. Tell me everything you know about Liu Erlong, in detail."
Ignoring the middle-aged Soul Master's embarrassment, Flander spoke quickly, his tone revealing urgency.
He and Liu Erlong had not seen each other for many years.
After the incident on their wedding night, the "Golden Trio" disbanded on the spot.
That coward Yu Xiaogang just ran away and disappeared somewhere.
Liu Erlong disappeared while searching for Yu Xiaogang.
He was busy handling Shrek Academy affairs and gradually lost contact with Liu Erlong.
Now that he had finally heard news of Liu Erlong again, Flander was excited but also extremely worried.
Because at this moment, Liu Erlong seemed to be in some kind of dangerous situation.
Seeing this, the middle-aged Soul Master had no choice but to tell the whole story.
This includes the fact that the three of them hired Liu Erlong to help them hunt soul beasts, and later Liu Erlong went into a killing frenzy, slaughtering soul beasts in Sunset Forest, and later Liu Erlong fought a 40,000-year-old scaled beast.
He told Flanders everything.
After hearing this, Flanders was extremely anxious.
They no longer cared about their small goal of going to the city to buy goods and resell them for profit.
The Martial Soul Cat-Owl possessed him in a rush, stretching out a pair of huge wings from his back, his entire body covered in feathers, and his orange-yellow eyes with vertical pupils.
The spirit possession was completed instantly.
He immediately unleashed his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Form.
Its body transformed directly into a giant owl with a wingspan of five meters.
Amidst the crowd's astonishment, it soared into the sky and flew rapidly towards the Sunset Forest.
Flander's martial soul, the Cat-Owl, is a flying beast martial soul with extremely high speed.
It has the blessing of a Martial Soul True Body.
With all its might, its speed of flight is comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Douluo.
…………
Just as Flanders learned of Liu Erlong's whereabouts and flew towards Sunset Forest.
The heartland of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Surrounded by nine peaks on three sides and the Si River on the other, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan boasts a rugged terrain, a superior location, and beautiful scenery.
Another figure, transformed into a blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, rushed out at high speed.
They also headed towards Sunset Forest.
That speed was many times faster than Flander's four-eyed cat-owl.
The figure had just left.
On the highest peak in the center of the Nine Peaks stands the main hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan.
The very top.
The chair is carved with a lifelike blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The tall and imposing Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, dressed in a magnificent blue robe and wearing a nine-crown crown adorned with true dragons, sat upright among them.
His hair was completely gray, his beard was as thick as steel needles, and his eyes were incredibly sharp, subtly revealing a domineering light.
Just then, someone rushed into the main hall, knelt in the center, and respectfully reported and requested instructions:
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the Vice Sect Master has just left the clan's headquarters without permission, for reasons unknown. Should we bring him back?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen's white eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He naturally knew why they left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
As the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, his channels for obtaining information were far wider and faster than those of the deputy sect leader.
"Let him be."
After a moment's thought, Yu Yuanzhen casually waved his hand, but the words he uttered were full of domineering and commanding intent.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The person who was reporting and requesting instructions received Yu Yuanzhen's order and then bowed and left the main hall.
The main hall fell silent once more.
He sat regally on the throne of the true dragon.
Yu Yuanzhen gazed toward the Sunset Forest, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
A moment later, a sentence containing an inexplicable meaning rang out in the hall:
"Second brother, you mustn't disappoint me."
…………
night.
Sunset Forest.
The sky, which was originally pitch black and empty, suddenly revealed a large and round moon tonight.
Under the bright, full moon, only two stars remained in the deep night sky.
In the cave at the foot of the small cliff.
As Ye Qifeng turned the roasting rabbit on the grill, he sprinkled it with various roasting seasonings, and the rich aroma wafted through the cave.
On the simple stove next to it, a pot of porridge was being steamed, with some nutritious ingredients added, as well as finely chopped soft rabbit meat that had been specially treated to remove the fishy smell.
The soft-bodied rabbit porridge was what he prepared for Liu Erlong.
From last night to tonight, Liu Erlong has been in a deep sleep all day and has not woken up.
Ye Qifeng also stayed by her side all day.
During this period, I changed her medication three times, wrapped her in bandages three times, and cleaned her body three times.
By now, Liu Erlong's injuries have completely stabilized.
Next, even if I take her with me when I leave Sunset Forest, the wound won't reopen due to the bumpy ride.
According to the prediction of the Seven Winds of Night.
Liu Erlong was about to wake up, so I prepared some food for her first.
Given that Liu Erlong is currently weak and has not eaten for a long time, it would be best for her to eat some easily digestible liquid food.
And porridge is precisely the most suitable food.
Turning his head to glance at Liu Erlong, and seeing that she was still sleeping peacefully, Ye Qifeng stopped looking and continued to focus on the roasted rabbit in front of him, which was already starting to ooze oil.
And there was that pot of rabbit porridge that had started to boil.
"Hmm~~~"
Not long after, a soft moan suddenly echoed from the cave.
