Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 77 What are firearms? (Tactical lean back)

Meng Yiran and Jiangzhu suddenly opened their eyes, only to be met with the nearly burnt-out campfire and the two of them.

"ah!"

Both of them were startled by each other. At this moment, Bai Yu, who was sitting on the outside of the cave, heard the sound and came in. Bathed in the moonlight, his figure was very handsome.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Upon hearing Bai Yu's magnetic voice, Meng Yiran and Jiang Zhu blushed simultaneously, stammering and unable to speak.

Jiangzhu glanced around, blushing, and asked:

"Is it already past midnight? I remember it was only just after nightfall!"

Meng Yiran also nodded, blushing, and said:

"Yes, yes, I remember I just came back from hunting."

Bai Yu laughed:

"What's wrong with you two? Didn't we already finish our barbecue? I'm on the first half of the night watch now. In another fifteen minutes, I'll have to wake Yiran up for the second half."

Hearing Bai Yu call her "Yiran," Meng Yiran blushed again and stammered:

"Oh, I see."

Suddenly, her stomach and Jiangzhu's stomach growled at the same time.

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and said:

"Are you hungry again? There's some leftover game over there. Let's start another fire and roast it. I have some seasonings here."

As he spoke, Bai Yu took out some seasonings from his soul tool.

Meng Yiran and Jiangzhu unconsciously licked their lips as they thought of the sizzling roasted meat.

Then, Bai Yu took out two bottles of water from his belt and handed them to them. They didn't have much water left, so they gladly accepted Bai Yu's kindness.

Then, Bai Yu walked to a spot near the outer edge of the cave and sat down, saying:

"I'll continue my watch. Someone come and relieve me when you're done eating."

Meng Yiran and Jiangzhu exchanged a glance, their understanding unspoken.

Soon, they had roasted a tender deer leg. Meng Yiran walked over to Bai Yu and sat down next to him. She held the deer leg between her two slender fingers and handed it to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu turned to look at her, and Meng Yiran blushed and said:

"What are you looking at? I'm just being considerate of your hard work keeping watch at night."

Bai Yu smiled, took the deer leg, and began to enjoy it.

Seeing that he had a good appetite, Meng Yiran felt much better and went back to have a late-night snack with Jiangzhu.

Soon, after the two of them finished their late-night snack, Bai Yu came over again, took out some crushed leaves from his belt, and said:

"Grinding these leaves into powder can dissipate the odor, preventing the smell of roasted meat from spreading and attracting powerful soul beasts."

Jiangzhu exclaimed in admiration:

"Bai Yu, you are so thoughtful."

Bai Yu smiled and nodded, leaned against the cave wall and closed his eyes, while Meng Yiran sat down next to Bai Yu to keep watch.

Jiangzhu had just finished eating and wasn't sleepy, but Bai Yu had his eyes closed, so she didn't feel comfortable speaking.

She was bored when Bai Yu suddenly asked:

When did you join Blue Tyrant Academy?

Jiangzhu raised her head. Bai Yu still hadn't opened his eyes, but she still answered:

"After graduating from the Intermediate Soul Master Academy, I joined Blue Tyrant Academy. At that time, Dean Liu came to our Intermediate Soul Master Academy in person and announced on the spot that I would be recommended to Blue Tyrant Academy."

"So, you were a genius back then?"

"Yes, I was already a level 26 Great Soul Master when I graduated."

Jiangzhu nodded, her tone inevitably tinged with pride.

Generally speaking, anyone who can reach level 25 or above by the age of 12 would be considered a genius, regardless of which advanced Soul Master Academy they attend.

The only difference lies in how talented she is. At Blue Tyrant Academy, Jiangzhu is probably the most outstanding genius, otherwise Liu Erlong wouldn't have personally helped her find a spirit ring.

However, in Shrek Academy or Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Jiang Zhu might just be an ordinary genius.

Jiangzhu countered with a question:

"And you?"

"Me? I was already a level 29 Great Soul Master when I was 12 years old, and now I'm a Soul Venerable."

Jiangzhu suddenly felt somewhat defeated. Although she wasn't much older than Bai Yu, being a year or two older was still a big difference, and she had already fallen behind Bai Yu by a significant margin.

Thinking of this, she suddenly began to worry about Liu Erlong.

"I wonder how Dean Liu is doing?"

She had barely finished speaking when Meng Yiran's voice suddenly came through:

"Watch out, there's a noise!"

Bai Yu and Jiang Zhu stood up at the same time. Meng Yiran cautiously backed away while saying:

"Some of the small traps I set up at the entrance of the cave were triggered; I heard the sound."

Bai Yu activated his Fiery Eyes of Truth and looked directly at the cave entrance. There was a green Jadescaled Serpent, about 1,500 years old, with a dead prey in its mouth, clearly preparing to have a midnight snack in the cave.

Bai Yu withdrew his piercing gaze and said to Meng Yiran:

"Whether it's a spirit beast or a human, if they're strong enough, your little trap will definitely be discovered. So let's lie in ambush first and strike when the opportunity arises."

The two women nodded. Meng Yiran and Bai Yu stood on either side of her, while Jiang Zhu stayed far away.

Soon, the Azure Serpent climbed out of the cave without noticing anything.

The instant its snake head appeared, Meng Yiran grabbed the snake spear, activated her first soul skill, and fiercely stabbed at the Azure Serpent.

Bai Yu couldn't use his mental penetration ability, so he took out his pistol and was about to fire when the Azure Serpent reacted with lightning speed, throwing its prey at Bai Yu in the first instant and then dodging Meng Yiran's attack.

Bai Yu's view was blocked, so he couldn't fire. Fortunately, the Jade Serpent didn't run away. Instead, it wrapped around Meng Yiran's legs and bit her fair thigh!

However, the next second, Meng Yiran activated her second soul skill, and she instantly transformed into a snake woman, nimbly swimming out of the Azure Serpent's coils, leaving the Azure Serpent completely bewildered.

The next moment, Bai Yu shot it.

The Azure Serpent, in pain, instantly opened its mouth wide, spraying a deadly venom at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu dodged the venom with a roll, while Meng Yiran raised her spear again to stab at the Azure Serpent.

The Azure Serpent turned its head, facing Meng Yiran who had leaped high into the air, and opened its mouth, preparing to spray venom.

In its calculations, the moment Meng Yiran's spear pierced it, its venom had already killed her!

However, the next second, Meng Yiran pulled out a pistol and fired a shot at the open mouth of the Azure Serpent.

boom!

This shot caused excruciating pain!

The Jade Serpent was shot in the head and died instantly.

Meng Yiran landed, looked at the Azure Serpent that had been instantly killed, and then looked at the pistol in her hand, and was extremely excited.

This pistol is really useful, I love pistols!

She looked at Bai Yu, her eyes filled with excitement.

Bai Yu smiled and pointed to the spirit rings that appeared on the Azure Serpent's body, saying:

"Perfect for you, absorb it quickly."

At this moment, Jiangzhu also came over, and Bai Yu explained to her:

"This soul beast is not suitable for you, so let Yiran absorb it first."

Jiangzhu nodded in understanding, not envying the spirit ring, but instead looking enviously at the pistol in Meng Yiran's hand.

Bai Yu smiled, took out a similar pistol and a pack of bullets from his soul tool, and handed them to her.

Jiangzhu exclaimed in shock:

"This, this won't do! I can't accept this reward without having done anything right!"

Bai Yu smiled:

"Just consider it me trying to curry favor with this beautiful woman, okay?"

Jiangzhu's face turned red instantly. After hesitating for a moment, she took the pistol.

Meng Yiran watched as Bai Yu taught Jiang Zhu how to use a pistol, then pouted and her mood instantly plummeted. She silently walked to the corpse of the Azure Serpent and began absorbing its soul ring.
