Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu-Chapter 45: Dugu Yan. Sunset Forest ()_2
Inside the first carriage, a young man and woman sat. Both were just over twenty, with the man dressed in blue armor, sporting a medium-short hairstyle. He wasn’t strikingly handsome, but he was presentable.
The woman, on the other hand, had dark purple hair and green eyes, and her looks were exceedingly beautiful. Her tight-fitting blue armor coupled with sapphire blue high-heeled boots imparted an alluring visual impact as she moved and sat.
The only flaw was that her fingernails were a dark green color!
These two were the outstanding representatives of the Tiandou Royal Academy, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan!
Today, since Dugu Yan had just broken through level 40, they were about to go to Sunset Forest to obtain their fourth Soul Ring.
Sunset Forest, like the Aquipeia Forest, was one of the gathering places for soul beasts. Although its atmosphere wasn’t as terrifying as Aquipeia Forest, where trees soared to over twenty meters tall!
The trees in Sunset Forest were generally less than ten meters tall, considered normal by comparison.
Even so, the forest was incredibly lush, and one could only find a few shafts of sunlight within. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Chu Qin led Zi Ji and the six girls to this place.
"Chu Qin, where do you think we should go for a one-thousand-seven-hundred-year Soul Ring?" Ning Rongrong asked first.
"Rongrong, one thousand seven hundred years?" Chu Qin said with a slight smile.
"Yeah!" Ning Rongrong widened her eyes and nodded, "Isn’t the lifespan of the third Soul Ring one thousand seven hundred years?"
"If you put it that way, that Glazed Vajra Body of yours was learnt for nothing!" Chu Qin put his arm around her shoulder and scoffed with an unstirred smile.
"Ah?" Ning Rongrong was slightly taken aback.
Not only Ning Rongrong, Xiaowu also followed with surprise, "Chu Qin, do you mean that the Glazed Vajra Body can also increase the lifespan limit of our Soul Rings?"
"Of course! The lifespan of a Soul Ring is determined by a person’s physical condition. The higher the Soul Power and physique, the longer the lifespan of the Soul Ring one can withstand! The Glazed Vajra Body, aside from being a defensive life-saving skill, can also enhance and strengthen your physiques!" Chu Qin nodded and explained.
"Wow!" Ning Rongrong was excitedly thrilled, "Then Chu Qin, what is our current limit for the lifespan of the third Soul Ring?"
"The third Soul Ring at least five thousand years, the fourth at least ten thousand years!" Chu Qin confidently stated, "Remember, at least!"
Hearing this, Xiaowu and the other four girls were overjoyed.
This meant that their third Soul Ring could reach the limit of the fourth Soul Ring, and the fourth could even be a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!
"Chu Qin, that Glazed Vajra Body of yours is too strong!"
Liu Erlong frowned with disapproval.
"Er Long, don’t you want to learn it?" Chu Qin said with a slight smile.
"Can I?" Liu Erlong asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Chu Qin replied, "Just promise me that one condition!"
"Then I’ll think about it!" Liu Erlong said with a playful twist of her eyebrow.
"Whatever suits you!" Chu Qin waved his hand, "Rongrong, Zhu Qing, I’ve already chosen your soul beasts for you!"
With that, Chu Qin handed them two albums depicting soul beasts.
"Starlight Firefly Beast!"
"Ghost Leopard!"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing said simultaneously.
"Correct! The Starlight Firefly Beast, a spirit-type soul beast, is also very beautiful and just perfect for you, Rongrong. And the Ghost Leopard, with its extreme agility, can provide Zhu Qing with a fine soul skill!" Chu Qin nodded.
"Mm-hm!"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other, both extremely satisfied.
Seeing Chu Qin and the five girls so happily together, a sense of envy welled up in Liu Erlong’s heart.
"What kind of magic does he have?" Liu Erlong stopped in her tracks, her brows knitting together. "Should I agree to be his woman? But I, Liu Erlong, made a vow that I would only marry Yu Xiaogang in this lifetime! I am not one to break promises! Sigh... Why do I bother making things hard for myself?"
"Er Long, what are you thinking about? Keep up!" Chu Qin called out as he turned back.
"I’m coming!" Liu Erlong nodded with a smile and hurried to catch up.
Chu Qin and his group wandered through Sunset Forest but failed to find a suitable Ghost Leopard and Starlight Firefly Beast.
"This Sunset Forest is too large!" Chu Qin sighed softly, "Continuing this way, we may not find them even by nightfall. Let’s do this, let’s split into two groups! Er Long, Yiran, Xiaowu, you take Zhu Qing to look for Ghost Leopard, while I go with Zi Ji and Rongrong to find Starlight Firefly Beast."
Chu Qin’s arrangement was logical. With Liu Erlong and the Green-eyed Dragon King’s double protection, Xiaowu and the others would be absolutely safe.
"All right!" The girls nodded in unison.
Thus, the group split up. Starlight Firefly Beasts typically gathered in dense parts of the forest, while Ghost Leopards preferred to run around in open areas.
Four hours later.
Chu Qin and his team were the first to find a five-thousand-year Starlight Firefly Beast.
After Chu Qin grievously wounded the Starlight Firefly Beast, Ning Rongrong made the final strike with a small knife. Then she sat down to absorb the Soul Ring, while Chu Qin and Zi Ji watched over her.
"Zi Ji, you’re also a soul beast," Chu Qin smiled at Zi Ji, "doesn’t it pain your heart to harm soul beasts?"
Chu Qin found it odd, as Xiaowu always avoided being near whenever he hunted soul beasts, but Zi Ji seemed to have no such qualms.
"You mean Xiaowu?" Zi Ji returned the smile, "She’s an herbivorous soul beast, naturally she doesn’t like killing! As for me, the Hell Demon Dragon King, two hundred thousand years, who knows how many soul beasts I’ve eaten!"
"I wouldn’t have guessed; you’re that brutal?" Chu Qin frowned slightly, and said teasingly.
"How can a dragon claim to be king if not brutal?" Zi Ji responded calmly, "But in front of you, I’m a gentle little dragon!"
