Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 172 Leave it to Sister Coco

As Yu Keke activated her martial soul and released her soul power to connect with the black soul ring of the lightning marten, everyone tactfully kept quiet for fear of disturbing her.

Sora sat by the campfire, two rustic boxes placed in front of him.

"Traveler, what's in this box?"

Paimon poked his head out, very curious about what was in the box that the fairy-like sister gave to the traveler.

Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes also looked at the box in Kong's hand. As for Yue Guan and Gui Mei, they seemed to want to avoid suspicion and sat far away.

Although they had no desire to know what was inside the box, they still felt a familiar fluctuation of soul power the moment Kong opened it.

"This is... a soul bone?"

Zhu Zhuqing spoke in surprise.

Although she had only seen it before when Tang San absorbed the soul bone burst out by the thousand-year-old demon spider, this did not hinder the sensitivity of native people to soul bones.

In an empty box, a piece of soul bone emitting faint light lay quietly. It looked like the leg bone of some soul beast.

Kong reached in, and the information about the soul bone automatically appeared in his mind.

"This is a right leg bone from the 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Purple-Eyed Demonic Tiger."

“One hundred thousand year soul bone…!”

Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth wide. The woman looked mysterious. She didn't expect that according to her words, the price for the lives of the two soul beasts would be a hundred thousand year old soul bone!
Kong weighed the soul bone in his hand. This thing had no use value to him except for collection.

This can be seen from Paimon's disappointed eyes...

If it was some dessert or something, I guess this guy would be very happy, right?

But a piece of bone without any meat on it would probably make your teeth ache when you chew it.
"Well, this is for you."

Since it is useless, you might as well give it away.

Kong threw the soul bone box casually, and Zhu Zhuqing caught it subconsciously. Then she looked at the box in her arms in disbelief, and then looked at Kong again.
"Your Majesty...are you saying that this soul bone should be given to me?"

She couldn't believe it. A hundred thousand year old soul bone~ something she had never dared to think about before, but now she had it out of nowhere?
"Yes, your martial soul is not a beast martial soul. Since ancient times, cats and tigers have been inseparable. This soul bone should be able to play its value in you. On the contrary, it is just a decoration with me~"

"Decoration..."

Is the hundred thousand year soul bone just for decoration?

There's nothing wrong with using this word alone, but using it to describe a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, Your Majesty, are all the words you use to describe a hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone so niche...

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips, her watery eyes looked up into the air, the tenderness in her eyes seemed to overflow.

It would be a lie to say that I'm not excited. It's obvious what a hundred thousand year soul bone means to a soul master.

Besides the soul bone, she felt even more moved.

"Your Majesty, I, I will definitely practice hard!"

She really couldn't find any words to express her gratitude, and she kept this kindness firmly in her heart.

His Majesty has been so good to me, I absolutely must not let him down. I must practice hard and help His Majesty solve his problems in the future!

"Haha, okay, Zhuqing, you should also work hard." Kong chuckled and encouraged her.

This little cat girl looks so cute when she is touched~
"Come on, Zhuqing!"

Paimon was also cheering her on, saying that the stronger her partner was, the safer she felt.

She had already realized this truth in Teyvat.

"Hmm~"

Zhu Zhuqing hugged the box tightly and replied with a firm look in her eyes.

"My goodness~ If other spirit masters knew that a spirit master in his forties had a hundred thousand year spirit bone, I'm afraid even a Titled Douluo would be tempted~"

Jue Gui Douluo and Gui Gui Douluo sat together. Although they didn't look in Kong's direction, every word they said reached their ears. Gui Mei lowered his head, looked at Yue Guan beside him, and sighed softly.

Not to mention anything else, even when he heard about the hundred thousand year soul bone, he felt a desire to possess it.

"It's inevitable to be tempted, but if I take action... I can't guarantee whether I can get the soul bone, but I will definitely lose my life!"

Yue Guan pursed his lips, signaling Gui Mei to look at Kong who was sitting next to Zhu Zhuqing.

With this gentleman around, let alone a hundred thousand year soul bone, even if it's a million year soul bone, if you have the will to get it, you have to have the life to use it, right?
"Yes, yes, I am obsessed..."

The ghost nodded in agreement.

The reason he wanted this hundred thousand year old soul bone was simply to improve his own martial soul's combat power.

But if I even lost my life for this soul bone, what good would it do to improve my martial soul's combat power...

"Hey, this is also a soul bone."

Paimon's disappointed voice sounded beside the adult, and the two of them pricked up their ears again.

"Yes, it's a skull. Medusa's."

Sora responded to Paimon's words and looked at the soul bone in another box in his hand, the Medusa skull...

I seem to have heard of this somewhere?

After thinking hard for a long time, I couldn't find any relevant clues in those scattered memories.

But what can be ruled out is that the Medusa skull that he had heard of before was definitely not the one in front of him.

After all, this is a soul bone that is more than 100,000 years old.

"Zhu Qing, this..."

Kong played with it for a while, then felt it was a bit boring, so he handed it to Zhu Zhuqing again.

But Zhu Zhuqing didn't wave her hands quickly, shaking her head respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I can't take this. I already have one, and Coco doesn't have one yet. Give it to her!"

"It doesn't matter who you give it to."

"It's different. This piece must be given to Coco..."

Zhu Zhuqing said she didn't want anything. Although Keke was still absorbing spirit rings, she knew that His Majesty only had two spirit bones. What would it mean if he gave them all to her?
Logically speaking, the piece in his arms should be given entirely to Coco. After all, in his mind, Coco is not someone he can compare to.

But this is a gift from him~ Forget it! I'll have enough shameless food! I feel sorry for Coco for just this one piece, so I can't ask for more...

"Okay, then leave her to Coco."

Kong saw that Zhu Zhuqing really didn't want it, so he decided to leave it to Yu Keke.

"This soul bone is useless to me now. I'll give it to you next time I get it."

"Uh-huh!"

Zhu Zhuqing replied pretentiously. She never doubted Kong's words.

"There seems to be no limit on the level of soul power a soul master can use to absorb soul bones. Since you have nothing else to do, quickly absorb the one in your hand. I've heard that soul bones can also bring about other soul skills, and I'm quite curious."

Kong remembered that soul bones could greatly improve soul masters. Since he had it, he could just absorb it directly.

Moreover, as far as I remember, there is no limit on the soul bones that soul masters can absorb, whether it is a thousand-year soul bone or a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. Theoretically, as long as you are a soul master, you can absorb the soul bones regardless of their quality.

"it is good."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate, picked up the box and walked to a relatively open place to sit cross-legged, concentrating her mind and adjusting her state to the best moment.

Then he opened the box, took out the soul bone, and began to activate his martial soul to try to attract and absorb it.
