Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 79 Hunting for Soul Rings
"Traveler, wake up!"

A soft cry startled Kong awake, and the bright sunlight made it difficult for him to open his eyes.

"Paimon, where have you been?"

Sora rolled over and realized that Paimon was not beside him.

"I was out."

Paimon opened the tent and continued unhappily:
"Look, the sun is almost hitting your butt, why don't you get up?"

“… Where’s Coco?”

Kong was speechless and made up an excuse to get away with it.

"Coco is outside too. You should get up quickly. I'm hungry."

Paimon kept urging.

"By the way, what kind of soul beast does Coco want for her first soul ring?"

After some tidying up, the three of them stood at the edge of Tiandou Forest and looked inside.

"How should I know? I'm not familiar with these..."

Paimon scratched his head.

When she came to this world, she had already planned to give up, because neither she nor the traveler could cultivate soul power, so what was the point of knowing so much.

"...Does Coco have a goal?"

Kong had no choice but to look at Yu Keke.

Although there are records about this continent in my memory, they are only some key places, and I really can't remember the others.

"Hmm~Brother, Paimon, I'm not sure either..."

Yu Keke thought for a moment and said embarrassedly.

All he knew about martial spirits were what his father had mentioned when he was a child, but he had never heard his father talk about deeper spirit rings or the like.

But this cannot be blamed on her. Just think about it, how much knowledge about martial spirits can a child from a small village have?
If his father had not had experience in the Spirit Hall before, perhaps the knowledge she had before would not exist.

"Well, three illiterate people belong to..."

Sora muttered angrily.

This is how to do?
If I had known earlier, I would have asked Xue Qinghe or Dugu Bo for advice when I was in Tiandou City...

Speaking of Dugu Bo, Kong suddenly remembered something.

The precious piece of land Dugu Bo gave me, namely the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, has not yet been taken...

Forget it, I'll go there when I get the chance.

"What should we do? We don't even know, are we still going in?"

Paimon asked aloud.

Mainly because when she saw the familiar forest in front of her, she remembered her experience when she first came here.

"Since we're already here, it might be okay to go in and take a look."

Kong thought for a while, looking at the blinding golden light above Yu Keke's head, and felt that he had no choice but to go.

This girl's commission is obviously to become stronger, and now she has to be taken to hunt spirit rings to achieve the goal of becoming stronger.

As for how strong he would become, Kong felt that he still had some way to go.

After all, it's a gold commission, how can it be completed in one go...

But as to what kind of soul beast to hunt, we'll see when the time comes.

Yu Keke's martial soul is a mutated martial soul, which is directly added to her body.

Then maybe I can hunt for some strength-type spirit rings to improve my various attributes...

"OK then."

Paimon nodded, then thought of something, and his big watery eyes sparkled.
"It's such a big forest, there must be a lot of delicious food in it..."

"Yes, the kind as big as a casserole. Do you want to eat it?"

Sora said unhappily.

"A fist as big as a casserole? Can a fist be delicious? But I kind of want to try it, hehe~"

Paimon seriously imagined in his mind whether the fist as big as a casserole should be steamed or braised.

"..."

Seeing Paimeng's empty eyes, Kong knew that she was already immersed in her own fantasy world, so he pulled her into his arms. Amidst Paimeng's endless scolding, the three of them walked into the Tiandou Forest.

It was fine outside the Tiandou Forest, but after entering it, the three of them encountered many animals from time to time.

Some are just simple wild beasts, while others, in Kong's perception, can already be called soul beasts.

However, the levels of these soul beasts were too low, and when they saw someone coming, they scattered in panic.

"Wow, the flowers in front are so big and beautiful, and they have a fragrance. Can you smell it, Coco?"

The three of them walked to the outskirts of Tiandou Forest, and Paimon discovered that there was about half an acre of pink flowers scattered throughout the forest in front of them.

"Yeah, I smelled it too."

Yu Keke followed Kong and sniffed. There was indeed a fresh fragrance in the air.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

Paimon took the lead, floating above the sea of flowers, wanting to lean over and smell it.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden noise in the flowers nearby. She was so scared that she flew higher and began to observe the place where the noise came from.

I saw an unknown bird entangled in vines among the flowers, flapping its wings desperately to break free.

But no matter how it struggled, its body fluttered lower and lower until it was firmly tied up by the vines and sent into a huge flower.

Paimon's perspective was from high to low, and he could clearly see the bird being sent into the flower and touching the water accumulated inside.
The body began to melt strangely, and the originally clear water inside turned scarlet.

"Ah! Traveler, help!"

Seeing this scene, Paimon screamed and flew to Sora's side in a hurry, pointing fearfully at the sea of flowers in front of him.

"what happened?"

Sora was a little confused. Wasn't this guy out to see the sea of flowers? Why did he look so frightened?

"That flower eats people... no, it eats birds!"

"Huh? It's so scary."

Yu Keke was still thinking about going over to see the sea of flowers as soon as possible, but when she heard what Paimeng said, she was also scared.

"Those flowers should be plant-type soul beasts."

Kong opened his elemental vision, and strange energies surged from the sea of flowers, indicating that every flower there was a soul beast with soul power.

"Damn it! You didn't tell me earlier and I almost got eaten."

Paimeng jumped up and down when she heard that. She had just wanted to touch and smell the bird, but luckily she ran fast, otherwise she would have been the same victim.

"Didn't I tell you that there are a lot of dangers in here? Don't run around. It would be better if you don't obey and get eaten~"

"Hmph! Ignore you!"

Paimon crossed her arms and turned her head away. She decided to ignore this hateful traveler for a minute!

"Well, those flowers are low-level plants. They can't eat you."

Sora spoke in a soothing voice.

If there was any danger, he would have warned of it or eliminated it directly.

"Hum~"

Paimon snorted a few times and continued to be arrogant.

If you say you will ignore me for one minute, that means you will ignore me for one minute!

Kong shook his head. "Follow me closely from now on. There are more and more soul beasts on the road."

"it is good."

Yu Keke answered obediently from behind. Although Paimon didn't say anything, he flew consciously at Kong's shoulder and didn't dare to run any further.

At the same time, somewhere in Tiandou Forest, there was a roar and the sound of fighting.

"Yue'er, be careful. Do you want us to help you?"

Several figures stood in an open space, looking nervously at the girl across from them who was fighting a huge wolf.

"No, it's almost gone. I have confidence!"

Although the figure fighting with the wolf in the field was so confident, the few people standing by still made a gesture of being ready to provide support at any time.

There was no other reason. The figure in the field currently had a soul power level of only 32, and the gray wolf she was fighting was a thousand-year-old soul beast.

The reason why she was able to gain a slight advantage in the battle against the thousand-year-old soul beast was because the wolf had been beaten by her mentor until only 30% of its combat power remained.
