Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 121 Everyone has their own thoughts

"Hiss~!"

The strange sound was heard again, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound source. A snake-like soul beast covered with moss appeared in their sight.

"It's a green-scaled viper!"

Someone in the crowd shouted the soul beast's name.

I saw the green-scaled viper with its head raised, its body clinging to a huge branch, its flat tongue constantly moving its mouthparts.

"Judging from its size, it's estimated to be over three thousand years old~"

"Yeah, but it's okay. We have quite a few people coming this time. A small viper is not enough to deal with."

When everyone saw that it was just a viper, they all let down their guard.

Having more people also has its advantages. It's not that this soul beast is not strong, but there are 23 soul masters here.

In the face of human wave tactics, this soul beast will not gain any advantage.

However, the viper seemed to have sensed the danger as well. It coiled on the branch, neither advancing nor retreating, its dark green eyes fixed on the team.

"Forget it, let's go around it."

Seeing this, the butler thought for a moment and came up with an idea.

Everyone nodded after hearing this. It seemed that this viper was not the target of this hunt.

As long as it doesn't attack first, everyone is happy to avoid it.

After all, it takes time for a soul master to replenish his soul power after it is consumed. No one can guarantee what kind of soul beast he will encounter next.
Therefore, preserving one's strength to the greatest extent possible is also a way to ensure one's own safety.

“No need to go around.”

But at this time, a soul master in the team jumped out. Judging from his appearance, he was the person whose soul power level was 46th level except Kong.

He clasped his fists towards the housekeeper, then looked at everyone and said jokingly:

"Everyone, since our employer has paid a large sum of money to invite us here, shouldn't we also demonstrate our strength?"

"..."

When everyone heard this, most of them looked at him as if they were looking at a wise man.

However, there were a few people among them who seemed to be in the same group with him. After they heard what he said, they all spoke up and agreed.

"Yeah, I also think it's necessary to show my ability, otherwise the employer will feel that the money spent is not worth it~"

"Yes, I think there's no need to take a detour. It will take who knows how long it will take. Why don't we kill the soul beast in front of us~"

"I agree……"

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper, thinking that less trouble is worse than more, was about to open his mouth to advise, but the soul master started shouting again.

"How about this, we target the soul beast in front, and each of us goes up and fights it.

Whoever lasts the longest will get a bigger reward after completing the mission. What do you think? "

After the soul master finished speaking, he looked at those with lower soul power levels among the crowd, with a mocking look in his eyes that was not concealed at all.

The reason why he came up with this seemingly stupid idea was that he wanted to kick these soul masters with lower soul power levels out of the team.

The bounty is indeed not small, but there are too many bounty hunters coming. If everyone were to divide it equally, there would probably not be much left of the bounty.

In this case, it would be better to eliminate those soul masters with low soul power levels first. He doesn't want others to get the advantage for free.

"I don't agree. This is your independent assertion!"

In the team, a passerby with a soul power level of thirty-two said angrily.

"Oh? Then what do you want to do?"

The soul master looked at Passerby A with a gloomy expression and asked in a deep voice.

"I, we all came here together, so naturally we have to split it equally!"

Passerby A looked at him with an unfriendly look and replied somewhat unsurely.

"Haha~ What do you think of my proposal?"

The soul master deliberately raised his voice and looked at the soul masters with higher soul power levels.

"I think what you said is absolutely right. Those with greater strength should naturally contribute more, so why can't they take more?"

"I agree too."

"Well, I think it's okay."

All the soul masters above level 40 echoed this. Kong said nothing, but just held Paimeng in his arms with great interest, watching their performance quietly.

"you……"

"Employer, he is acting on his own! I don't agree!" Some soul masters of level 32 and 33 obviously knew what the soul master was thinking and spoke angrily.

If that's the case, then all of us have come here in vain.
"Butler, what do you think?"

The soul master was not angry, but turned to look at the housekeeper and the woman.

"This……"

The housekeeper's mouth twitched. This idiot, is he looking for trouble for no reason?

We'll be arriving soon, why are you doing this to me now?
"Why? If the housekeeper thinks my method doesn't work, then I'll be sorry for not accompanying you."

When the soul master saw that the butler seemed to disagree with his suggestion, his expression immediately changed.

"Yes, if it's not divided like this, then we'll leave."

"Yes, let's go~"

"..."

When the housekeeper saw seven or eight soul masters starting to strike, his face turned cold. He actually possessed the strength of a 56th-level soul king, but he used some means to hide it.

If he wasn't afraid of delaying important matters, he really wanted to kill these people right here.

"How about this……"

The woman next to the housekeeper who had been silent came forward and continued:
"Everyone is here to help me hunt for spirit rings. There's no need to waste spirit power here. After we return, I'll give everyone above level 40 a hundred gold soul coins as extra compensation. How about that?"

"My lady is so righteous! We will do our utmost to protect her!"

Several soul masters were delighted when they heard this and immediately expressed their opinions, no longer saying whether they would leave or not.

"What do you think, sir?"

The woman looked at the soul master and said.

"...Okay, but I have one more request."

Although the soul master was slapped in the face, he was not angry. After all, no one in this line of work would resist money.

But when he looked at Xu Lai in the crowd, a hint of evil appeared in his eyes.

"what?"

"Everyone here is a soul master above level 30. What can that level 29 soul master do? Why should he get a share of the bounty?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone followed his gaze and looked at Xu Lai.

People are selfish, let alone bounty hunters.

The reason they disagreed just now was because there were many soul masters over level 30.

Now the soul master was only pointing his spear at Xu Lai, and no one spoke.

Instead, he started thinking in his mind, if there is one less person, wouldn't he be able to get more bounty?

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing this, Xu Lai knew that he was being targeted for no reason, and looked at the soul master with cold eyes.

"I won't do anything, but you, you have to prove that you have what it takes to collect the bounty!"

The soul master smiled even more when he saw that no one stood up for this young man who was less than level 30.

"..."

Xu Lai gritted his teeth secretly.

He didn't come here for any bounty, but he couldn't say it directly.

"How do you want me to prove it?" He thought for a moment and then spoke.

For now, I can only follow this person's wishes and take it one step at a time.

"Here~ isn't it right there?"

The soul master pursed his lips and motioned everyone to look at the green-scaled viper that was still on the tree, watching them warily.

"you……"

Xu Lai clenched his fists unconsciously. That was a soul beast that was more than three thousand years old. This person was not trying to make things difficult for him, but wanted him to die!

"Cough cough~"

Just when Xu Lai was thinking about how to respond, a cough sounded, followed by a voice with some doubts.
"That soul beast seems to have escaped. There's no need to prove anything, right?"

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, only to see Kong pointing innocently at the tree trunk. The green-scaled viper on it had long disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
