Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 120 The Lady Without Soul Power

"..."

Seeing Huo Miaomiao's indifferent look, Zhu Zhuqing twitched the corner of her mouth and put away the idea of wanting to know more about the so-called wish.

This is a bit regrettable...

However, I got a general idea of the situation through the story Coco told me.

If you want to attract the attention of the gods, you must first have an extremely strong "desire".

If I want to attract the attention of His Majesty, I must have a strong desire.

But what is this 'wish'?

Zhu Zhuqing started to think about it in her mind.

Meanwhile, Kong and the others waited outside the residence for a while before the housekeeper reappeared, but she was accompanied by a woman who was about twenty years old.

The woman covered her face with a white veil, her figure was thin, and her eyes were bloodshot.

She didn't say anything, but walked straight to the carriage that had been prepared on the side.

"Everyone, although it is raining heavily, my young lady is eager to hunt for spirit rings. I am sorry to trouble you all."

After the butler helped the woman into the car, he put his hands behind his back and spoke to the bounty-earning soul masters.

"It's okay, let's finish it early and leave early."

The soul master in the crowd responded.

"Okay, let's get in the car."

Seeing that no one had any objection, the butler waved his hand, and several men who looked like servants came over in several carriages.

Everyone headed for the carriage, but Kong was in no hurry to get in.

He waited until the young man entered the carriage before following him and squeezing into the same carriage.

Since there were many bounty hunters this time, the butler only prepared four carriages, so the carriages were very crowded.

Soon, an unpleasant smell began to emanate from the carriage. Kong noticed Paimon's wrinkled face and glanced at the boy squeezed into the corner.
He spread his arms, hugged Paimon and squeezed to the edge of the carriage, pulled open the curtain, and then breathed in a few breaths of fresh air.

It was still raining heavily outside. The groom was wearing a straw raincoat, cursing from time to time and hitting the horse's butt with the whip, trying to make it go faster.

"What kind of weather is this? It's been raining all morning and it still won't stop?"

As everyone was bored, a soul master looked outside through a corner of the curtain that Kong had untied and complained.

"Speaking of which, if we continue like this, the danger will increase a lot when we enter the forest later."

"Big brother, do you have any explanation for this?"

Xu Lai also frowned and looked outside, then asked.

"Haha, judging from your appearance, this isn't your first time doing a mission like this. I'm afraid you're not from Tianshui either, right?"

The soul master glanced at Xu Lai and said playfully.

"I ran out of money while passing through here, so I thought of accepting some bounties to save up for my journey home."

Xu Lai did not deny it, and he was not afraid at all when facing the soul master's gaze.

"Hahaha~"

Seeing Xu Lai's composure, the spirit master laughed a few times and stopped teasing him. He continued:
"The soul beast forest next to our Tianshui is called the Frozen Forest. The soul beasts there are relatively weak, and soul beasts over ten thousand years old rarely appear.

However, the vast majority of these soul beasts are water or ice-type. In this kind of weather, their soul power and attack moves will be greatly enhanced, which is why I said the risk factor will increase significantly."

"That's it."

Xu Lai nodded and fell silent, looking through the curtains at the still-drenching rain outside, wondering what he was thinking. A frozen forest?

I thought about it for a while, but I didn't find any impression of the frozen forest in those brief memories.
I guess it’s just as this soul master said, it’s just a smaller soul beast forest.

After about an hour, the bumpy carriage finally stopped with a low shout from the coachman outside.

"We're here, everyone come down."

The butler's voice was heard, and Sora, holding Paimon, followed the young man out of the carriage.

"Everyone, we are about to enter the forest. There is no way out. From now on, I will have to rely on you to protect my young lady."

The butler said a few words and then organized a team. He picked and chose from the crowd, and finally included Sora and the young man.

He arranged them all to the front of the team. He and the veiled woman walked in the middle, and behind them were some soul masters with soul power of more than level 30.

"Butler, if your young lady wants to hunt a soul beast, just tell us and we can scatter and search."

"Yes, with all of us together, how long will it take to find a suitable soul beast?"

As the huge team walked, some of the soul masters seemed a little impatient and immediately spoke up to make suggestions.

"It's almost done, why are you in such a hurry?"

The butler yelled in his hoarse voice, walked out of the crowd, looked ahead a few times, and continued:

"We have already found the location of the soul beast we hunted this time. We are now heading to where it appeared. There is no need to search for it."

Upon hearing this, many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and continued to follow the team slowly forward.

Although there are fewer high-level soul beasts in the Frozen Forest, this team is basically composed of soul masters in their thirties and forties.

Previously, those who proposed to search separately were all of higher soul power level. If that is really the case,

Then the danger factor of some soul masters with lower soul power levels in this team will be greatly increased.

As the team marched, they inevitably encountered some soul beasts.

However, as the soul master in the carriage said just now, most of the soul beasts here are low-level soul beasts.

Feeling so many soul masters passing by, they basically avoided them from a distance based on their intuition.

Therefore, everyone felt very relaxed along the way.

“Hiss~!”

At this moment, a strange sound not far away caught the team's attention and everyone stopped.

The housekeeper frowned and glanced at the woman beside him. Seeing that she was normal, he shouted:
"There seems to be a soul beast blocking the road ahead, everyone, be alert."

Naturally, everyone heard the beast's roar and looked around vigilantly.

After Kong opened his elemental vision and sensed it for a while, he ignored it.

Under the elemental vision, based on past judgment, the soul beast that made the roar was probably equivalent to a soul master of around level 40, and posed no threat to this team.

However, under his perception, he discovered something interesting.

The woman who the housekeeper called herself "Miss" did not even have a trace of soul power fluctuation, which means that she was not a soul master at all.

Apart from the soul masters who came with him to collect the bounty, the young lady was only accompanied by the housekeeper and a middle-aged man who looked like a servant.

Obviously, the ultimate purpose of this bounty is not to help his young lady hunt for spirit rings.

This is interesting...

Kong had never expected that just because he wanted to take on a commission, things would become so complicated.
