MTL - Douluo: Protects Our Spirit Hall-Chapter 263 Raven
The slum area is very wide, almost occupying more than half of the area of Xicheng. There are hundreds of large and small slums scattered here.
certainly.
Slums are not all slums.
The existence of slums is just to provide a place for some homeless, or penniless, or incapable, or have lost hope in life and abandoned themselves.
Civilians who are really capable and skilled live in areas with relatively better environments, such as villages, blocks or gathering places sheltered by local forces or strong spirit masters.
Even so, the order in these areas is only slightly better than that of the slums.
Fighting, fighting, looting, etc., are still everywhere.
After all, slums are already barren, lacking in resources, and with a large population, more wolves and less meat, which naturally leads to disorder and chaos.
In the slums, the two most important things are money and food.
Money can buy food, and food can fill you up and keep you alive.
Only by surviving first will you have a chance to consider others.
So people in the ghetto fight or kill each other, usually for these two things.
This is especially true of money.
Food should not be stored and can be bought at any time.
Food is scarce in the slums, but it is still available.
And money is different.
Money is easier to store and will not deteriorate. Whether it is gold soul coins, silver soul coins, or copper soul coins, they are all hard currency.
As long as you have money, you can buy food, or anything else.
So the temptation of money is even greater.
In a place like the slum, if you have money on your body, don't let others know, otherwise it will definitely attract others.
It is the same regardless of gender, age, or age.
Not long.
Ye Qifeng took Qian Renxue through a slum again and came to a block.
The living environment in this block is slightly better than that of the slums. Although most people live in tents, it looks much more orderly and less chaotic.
These people are civilians with some ability or skill. Although they live in poverty, they at least have hope, which is much better than the people in the slums.
There are also many people living in the dilapidated houses on both sides of the street. It seems that they have some identity in this block, or people with special abilities, such as soul warriors with soul power.
Facing the curious gazes of the surrounding civilians, the two walked through the streets as if nothing had happened.
Ye Qifeng's face was calm, and he had long since seen nothing wrong. His mental power swept past him at will, and he didn't notice any danger, so he stopped paying too much attention.
Qian Renxue's expression was also calm as water. She followed Ye Qifeng side by side, as if she had learned the skill of the latter's calmness and concentration, but it was actually a little numb, and she gradually got used to those curious eyes.
Seeing the neat clothes on the two of them, their good temperament, and the imposing aura of deterrence, someone who lived in the small house was awe-inspiring, and immediately sent a message to the residents of the block, warning them not to hit the two of them.
Then nothing happened.
soon.
Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue passed through the neighborhood where the civilians gathered, and came to a deserted street around the corner.
turned his head to look at Qian Renxue, Ye Qifeng saw a bit of exhaustion on her beautiful face.
After pondering for a while, he realized that the impact of the slum area on Qian Renxue's mind seemed to be a little big, and it made her feel a little tired.
looked up at the sky, the weather was still gloomy, only the clouds in the west, a little bright white in the gray, it was already into the afternoon.
Ye Qifeng thought about it and said to Qian Renxue:
"Cher, let's go back."
Qian Renxue was stunned and asked:
"Aren't you going to go shopping?"
"No more shopping."
Ye Qifeng shook his head gently, and said warmly, "I have a general understanding of the situation in this urban area, and other places are not too bad, there is nothing good-looking."
said, Ye Qifeng looked at her, and his tone became softer:
"I see that you are a little tired, so go back and have a good rest."
"So you are caring about me."
Qian Renxue's heart warmed, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and the fatigue on her face suddenly dissipated a lot.
Then she nodded lightly and said softly:
"Then go back."
After agreement.
The two immediately accelerated their pace, passed through the deserted street, and prepared to rush back in the direction of Liu Erlong's house to the east.
Just when the two of them walked to the intersection of the street.
Sudden.
Four children approached.
The children are not very old, between seven and ten years old, and they are not well dressed. They are the same coarse clothes as most civilians, which look a little loose and worn.
The child walking in front was nearly 1.3 meters tall, and his skin showed a bit of wheat color.
The hair is not long, it can fall down to the shoulders, but the color of the hair is very special, with a hint of purple in the silver gray.
The most eye-catching thing is the pair of eyes, which are blue and green, as clear as amber, big and bright, and extremely conspicuous.
The age of the silver-gray-haired child should be about seven or eight years old, so he can't tell his gender for the time being, so let's pretend he is a boy.
The skin color of the other three children is slightly different from that of the first child, and they appear a little dark.
Walking behind the silver-gray-haired child was a boy with short black hair. He was a little over 1.3 meters tall and looked over nine years old.
The two people who followed behind were about 1.4 meters tall, about ten years old, and their hair was a bit messy, not as dry as the first two children.
The figures of the four children are all a little thin, and their complexions are yellowish. Obviously, they are all malnourished.
But the child walking in front, although thin, has a slender arm with a hint of muscle outline. It seems to be in the best physical condition and the strongest among them.
The silver-gray-haired child was the shortest and the youngest, but the other three children were vaguely headed by him, looking like the little leader among several children.
"That kid in front seems a little interesting."
Looking at the oncoming children, Ye Qifeng smiled and suddenly said something.
"Huh? Xiaofeng, are you referring to the silver-gray-haired child?"
Qian Renxue also noticed.
"Don't you think his eyes are rare?"
Ye Qifeng asked with a smile.
"It's really beautiful. It turned out to be blue and green, so clear, so translucent, like a gem. If he is a girl, he must be very charming with such a pair of eyes."
Qian Renxue also commented.
Seeing that they were about to pass by a few children, the two stopped talking, smiled and looked at the silver-gray-haired child, and nodded at him at the same time.
Several children who walked into the street naturally found Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue.
looked at the imposing two people.
A few children trembled slightly, a little surprised and a little scared.
Especially the three people in the back, when they saw strangers entering this block, they instinctively felt fearful, and they didn't dare to come out.
The silver-grey haired child looked calmer.
She, yes, she is actually a girl.
It's just because he is still young, and the coarse clothes he wears are extremely loose, as well as the stains on his face, so he can't tell his gender.
Although is an orphan, unlike the other three, she is not a local resident of the slum.
The girl was originally born in a family of knights in the empire, but her family declined and her relatives died one after another, leaving her alone as a young orphan.
Two years ago, he lived in the Tiandou slum. A year ago, he awakened his martial arts with the help of the Spiritual Hall. Because of his innate spirit power, he became a spirit warrior and was absorbed into this neighborhood.
With good physical fitness, smart and wise mind, and a fierce and loyal style, she soon became the little leader of several orphans of the same age in the block.
"These two are so pretty!"
The moment she saw Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue, the girl couldn't help but exclaim in her heart.
She is still young and doesn't want to come up with too many adjectives, so this exclamation is a bit simple.
After marveled, she thought quickly and secretly guessed the identities of the two:
"They. Are they big people from outside?"
She found that the aura of the two people on the opposite side seemed to be similar to the big people she had seen in her vague memory, and they didn't look like people from the slums.
And from the two of them, she didn't feel any dangerous aura.
On the contrary, what she felt was kindness and kindness.
This made her feel a little relieved, at least not having to worry about these two attacking the four of them.
The girl calmly took the three little friends and continued to walk into the deserted street. At the same time, her eyes always fell on the faces of the two people on the opposite side. Although it was very impolite, for some reason, she couldn't help it, thinking about it. Take a few more glances.
Because of the two adults on the opposite side, the feeling is really good, just like the gentle big brother and big sister, at least that's how she feels at the moment.
Just as the two sides crossed each other.
The girl suddenly saw that the big brother with black hair and black eyes on the opposite side gave her a bright smile and nodded to her, as did the beautiful big sister with blonde hair and blue eyes next to him.
The girl suddenly widened her eyes, a little flattered.
At this moment, the smiles of the two of them fell into the girl's eyes. They were so warm and kind, very like their former family members.
After the two sides crossed, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the two of them.
"Ruiwen, do you know those two people?"
After Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue walked over, the boy with short black hair next to the girl let out a long breath and asked in a low voice.
The boy's name is Xiaoliu and he has no surname.
The girl's name, as the boy called it, was Ruiwen, and she also didn't have a surname because she couldn't remember it.
"do not know."
Ruiwen heard the question, looked away, and shook her head.
"Who are they? They appeared here dressed so well, but they weren't robbed?"
Xiaoliu asked again in surprise.
"Maybe a big guy coming in from outside."
Ruiwen pondered for a while, then guessed, "They should be soul masters."
"The kind that is very powerful." After a pause, she added.
"Soul, Soul Master? Very powerful?"
Xiao Liu immediately opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, he never doubted Rui Wen's judgment, and the other two companions were also a little dumbfounded.
"No wonder no one dared to mess with them."
Xiaoliu said clearly, and then sighed with emotion:
"If only we were as strong as them!"
Ruiwen's face darkened when she heard the words. She should have had the opportunity to grow into a powerful soul master, but it's a pity
Her spirit is a waste spirit.
"However, I will not give up, no matter what, I must become a soul master."
For a moment, Ruiwen clenched her fists, her little heart filled with firmness.
"Stop talking about this, let's save Xiao Qi first."
Ruiwen took her mind and stroked her chest, where it bulged slightly, as if there was something hidden.
"Chengxin that turtle grandson!"
Hearing Rui Wen's words, Xiao Liu's face suddenly became ugly, his voice was a little higher, and he said cursingly:
"It's okay to bully the little ones. If you can't beat you, you even caught Xiaoqi with a sly trick and asked us to take money to redeem it."
"What a dog thing!"
Chengxin is a gangster in the next block. He is eleven years old. Like Xiaoliu, he is a spirit warrior and leads five or six ordinary people of the same age.
Cheng Xin is a person who bullies the soft and fears the hard, and picks up those who are younger and weaker than him to rob and bully.
Xiaoliu and the others were bullied and robbed by him a lot, until Ruiwen awakened her martial spirit and became a spirit warrior, and she beat him hard before she calmed down.
But recently, I don't know where Cheng Xin got the wind, knowing that Rui Wen has private savings, so he used a trick to capture his companion Xiao Qi, in order to threaten Rui Wen with money to redeem people, otherwise they would not let them go.
This is why they came to this uninhabited street, because this is the place where the two parties agreed to redeem people.
Seeing that Ruiwen's face was also a little ugly, Xiao Liu restrained himself, sighed, and asked:
"Ruiwen, that money is your hard-earned savings for more than a year, and you kept it to ask someone to help you hunt for the spirit ring. If you use it to redeem Xiaoqi, what will you do with your spirit ring in the future?"
Ruiwen pursed her lips, a little reluctant, but finally said:
"Let's redeem people first, and ask people to help hunt the spirit ring, and we'll talk about it later."
Xiaoliu murmured a few times, but in the end he didn't say any more.
The two people who stood in the back and didn't speak also shrugged helplessly, and there was no other way.
Xiaoqi is their companion after all, and he must not give up.
To redeem Xiaoqi from Chengxin, money is needed, and now, only Ruiwen has a little savings, the three of them are penniless, and they can't even collect a copper soul coin.
At this time, Xiaoliu couldn't help but fight for Ruiwen, and said loudly:
"Speaking of which, Ruiwen, you are obviously a genius full of soul power. The person who awakened your martial soul for you actually decided that your martial soul is a waste martial soul. He really blinded him!"
"Where in this world is there a waste martial spirit full of innate soul power? Anyway, I don't believe it."
"That's right, if it wasn't for Rui Wen's martial spirit being judged to be a waste spirit, he would have obtained a spirit ring and became a spirit master now."
The other two also agreed.
Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue, who had already left the street for a distance, suddenly stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and said in surprise:
"Innately full of soul power?!"
