"Aside from the last time when I escorted a wealthy merchant here, most of my previous missions involved heading to the Soul Beast Forest."
"It's either about hunting specific soul beasts to obtain their materials, or assisting those who want to obtain soul rings."
"In short, there's all sorts of jobs, but I only take on the ones that pay well."
Fang Zi hesitated for a moment before introducing herself to Tang Lan and the others.
And just like that, Fang Zi began to tell everyone about her various experiences during her missions.
This includes encounters with spirit beasts, battles with spirit masters, and various perilous situations.
Whenever the story gets to the part about a critical moment, Xiaoxiao would gasp in surprise, covering her mouth.
Because what she experienced was truly a life-or-death moment.
Fortunately, it all ended well in the end; otherwise, she wouldn't be standing here. (End of Chapter)
Chapter 922 It was nothing more than seeing injustice on the road.
"You have no idea how terrifying the eight-headed serpent in the Death Swamp really is!"
"The horses we were riding at the time were barely enough to fill this guy's teeth; his height alone was over thirty zhang."
"Our group of over thirty Soul Masters, including more than a dozen Soul Douluos and Soul Saints with Beast Martial Souls, were all unable to subdue it."
"Fortunately, its ninth head did not grow, otherwise it would definitely be a terrifying soul beast over 300,000 years old. Even a titled Douluo would turn around and run away upon seeing it."
Of our group, fewer than eight returned; the remaining twenty-odd soul beasts all perished there.
Looking back now, I think I was incredibly lucky, considering I was among the least capable students in the group.
Finally, Fang Zi, sitting by the fire, sighed softly, slowly lifted the grilled fish that had already been cooked, and took a small bite.
Xiao Xiao and the others then crowded around her, making the originally spacious campfire area much more crowded.
But Tang Lan was the only one left by the campfire.
Tang Lan had also heard of the Eight-Headed Serpent, a spirit beast, and it was said that each of its heads possessed a special attribute.
Killing this guy's head alone will generate eight different spirit rings.
However, if it advances to the Nine-Headed Serpent, then its strength will undergo a qualitative change.
He leaped from being barely comparable to a Title Douluo to a level that even a Super Douluo would find difficult to deal with.
Although soul beasts possess such extraordinary talent, their cultivation time is hundreds or thousands of times that of humans.
It would take hundreds of thousands of years for someone with eight skills to break through to nine, and there's even a chance they might fail.
Death Swamp
Tang Lan had seen this place on a map of the continent; it was a forbidden zone for humans in the northwest of the Douling Empire.
To the west of the Death Swamp lies the equally dangerous Desert of the Dead.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the human race and the soul beast race fought an epic war.
The battlefield was in the Desert of the Dead. During that battle, the sky darkened, rocks collapsed, the earth split open, and a deep, dark abyss appeared.
In the ancient times, when powerful beings were numerous, there were almost no winners in wars between the two races.
Both sides suffered heavy losses in that battle, and the land was devoid of life, later becoming a barren desert.
And within this yellow sand, there is also golden bone sand formed from the corpses of humans and soul beasts.
They have blended into the yellow sand and are no longer indistinguishable from each other.
Only the heavy resentment gave rise to undead creatures with zombie-like intelligence in the Desert of the Dead, and mutated soul beasts in the Swamp of Death.
Danger also means opportunity; both the Death Swamp and the King's Desert contain extraordinary treasures.
Over the years, many titled Douluo have entered it, but more have entered than left.
Getting in is easy, but getting out is difficult.
Some say the Star Dou Great Forest is dangerous, and the far northern snowfield is even more dangerous, but in any case, there will still be Soul Masters appearing in these two places.
However, the latter has clearly been subconsciously ruled out by everyone in the Soul Master world.
Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats suddenly came from afar.
Giddy up! Giddy up!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the dark forest, a series of whooshing sounds rang out.
Of the five horses in front, three fell instantly, and the men in black behind caught up and killed them with their knives.
The screams lasted only a moment before abruptly ceasing.
Their bodies were then trampled over by the horses behind them.
"Miss, you go first, I'll hold them off!"
"Quickly, head south to Shrek Academy!"
"Martial Soul True Form, Roar—" The middle-aged man on the left of the two in front roared, then turned around and charged back the way he came.
The moment he stepped onto the horse's back, he was instantly lifted into the air, followed by a burst of yellowish-brown light that enveloped the earth.
This person had transformed into a grizzly bear several meters tall, surrounded by seven spirit rings, revealing himself to be a Spirit Saint.
Hehe~hehe~
"A mere Soul Saint dares to come and die? Set up the Soul-Locking Chains!"
Among the men in black behind, a mysterious figure in a dark purple robe let out a strange laugh.
The moment he finished speaking, eight figures suddenly leaped out from behind him.
These eight figures surrounded Grizzly Soul Saint almost instantly.
With a clattering sound, black chains flew out from eight directions like venomous snakes, heading straight for Grizzly Soul Saint.
However, Grizzly Soul Saint activated all of his soul skills in an instant.
The seven spirit rings lit up simultaneously, standing out conspicuously in the dark forest.
The woman, whom the senior had addressed as "Miss," merely glanced back before gritting her teeth and continuing her swift escape on horseback.
She knew she absolutely could not let down all the people who had sacrificed so much.
If they stop, everything will be in vain, and their lives will have been sacrificed in vain.
But they clearly underestimated the number of pursuers, and before long, six more dark figures continued their pursuit.
Among them was the leader in the purple robe, whose eyes gleamed with a chilling red light in the darkness.
call out! !
The purple-robed leader behind them waved his right hand, and a silver light flashed across the night.
Then came the neighing of horses ahead.
A short knife severed the horse's leg with incredible speed, and the woman was thrown forward and rolled away.
"If you know what's good for you, come with us. Otherwise, I'm not sure I can save your life."
The man in purple robes, accompanied by five subordinates, slowly approached, his voice filled with disdain and casualness.
Clearly, he didn't take the woman in front of him seriously.
However, just as the man was about to step forward and grab the woman, a dark figure suddenly appeared, standing in front of her as if teleported.
"Don't you feel ashamed that so many people are bullying a girl?"
Tang Lan's clear voice echoed throughout the forest.
At this moment, Tang Lan stood in the shadows of the woods, making it impossible for the person opposite him to see his face clearly.
"Where did this brat come from? If you know what's good for you, get lost, or you'll die here too!"
The man in purple robes was furious when he saw Tang Lan, but after failing to detect any soul power aura on her, he became wary.
"It was just a matter of helping someone in need; why all the fuss?"
"If you want to take her away, you'll have to defeat me first."
Tang Lan stood there with a smile, looking at the men in black with a defiant expression.
"Hmph, get them!"
A murderous glint flashed in the purple-robed man's blood-red eyes.
With a wave of his hand, the five men in black behind him rushed towards Tang Lan.
The five people revealed their martial souls almost simultaneously. Among them, four were six-ring Soul Emperors, and one was even a seven-ring Soul Saint.
Seeing such a force hunting down a woman, Tang Lan immediately guessed that this woman's background must be extraordinary. (End of Chapter)
Chapter 923 He will draw his sword to help.
He immediately summoned his Martial Soul, the Overlord Spear, which flashed and disappeared into the night sky with golden light.
Tang Lan pierced the throat of a Soul Emperor with a single spear thrust, then kicked the man so hard that he flew backward.
It slammed into a Soul Emperor behind him, causing him to cough up blood and fly backward, crashing into a tree trunk.
The spear then danced like a whirlwind, blocking the soul skill attacks of the other three opponents.
The spear in Tang Lan's hand was suddenly thrown out, so fast that no one could react.
Two more Soul Saints were pierced through the chest and pinned to the tree by the Overlord Spear like skewers of candied hawthorns.
The golden arcs of electricity on the Overlord Spear carried a terrifying aura of destruction, instantly annihilating their internal organs.
In a single exchange, four Soul Emperors died under Tang Lan's spear.
Upon seeing this scene, the Soul Saint was terrified and immediately unleashed his Martial Soul True Body.
In an instant, a two-headed demonic wolf, several meters in size, opened its massive jaws, roared, and charged towards Tang Lan.
"what!"
