Douluo Continent: I am a Hyperion larva, and I devour Xiao Wu at the start.

Chapter 20 The Prosperous Soul Hunter Forest Town

Jiang Chen then followed the carriage, and this continued for half an hour.

After a half-hour journey, Jiang Chen finally arrived at the town in front of the Soul Hunter Forest with the carriage.

That's right, this area in front of the Soul Hunter Forest shouldn't be called a market, but a town.

Looking at the town in front of the Soul Hunter Forest from the forest, a question mark involuntarily appeared on Jiang Chen's mind.

"No way, can a whole town be built in front of a Soul Hunter Forest?"

You know what, even though this town is built in front of the Soul Hunter Forest, it's surprisingly well-equipped.

When Jiang Chen followed the carriage to the town in front of the Soul Hunter Forest, people who looked like guides immediately stepped forward and surrounded the carriage.

"What kind of spirit beast do you wish to hunt, sir? We have its encyclopedia here."

"Sir, don't believe him. Our conditions here are much better, and we even have a map showing the distribution of the corresponding soul beasts."

"You're just talking nonsense. The soul beasts are constantly moving in the Soul Hunting Forest. What's the use of these distribution maps?"

"Sir, please come to us. We have people in the Spirit Hall who can take you directly to the corresponding spirit beast."

The people surrounding the carriage immediately began to promote their knowledge of the Soul Hunting Forest.

However, listening to the sales pitches from those around me...

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties with a serious expression stepped out.

"We don't need it, get out of the way."

Upon hearing the man say this, the people around immediately dispersed.

After all, those who can come to the Soul Hunter Forest are all Soul Masters who need to advance, while the others are just ordinary people trying to make a living.

They were simply promoting the knowledge they had accumulated over their years living in this town about the distribution of soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest.

After the surrounding people dispersed, the middle-aged man spoke to the people inside the carriage:

"Xiao Yao, come down."

Then the curtain was pulled back, and a teenage girl stepped out of the carriage.

Jiang Chen had already bypassed the town, since his appearance, according to the Douluo Continent, was that of a soul beast.

We can't exactly walk through the town to get to the gate.

Jiang Chen walked around the forest until he reached the distant wall. He planned to follow the pattern of the Soul Hunting Forest in Notting City and teleport directly into the outer wall.

However, to Jiang Chen's surprise, he had just arrived at the wall of the Soul Hunting Forest and had not even used teleportation to enter the Soul Hunting Forest.

A voice filled with doubt came from the trees in the Soul Hunter Forest:

"Soul beasts? How come there are soul beasts outside the Soul Hunting Forest?"

After speaking, the voice swiftly left the tree and jumped outside the Soul Hunter Forest.

Jiang Chen, who was outside the wall preparing to use teleportation, stopped after hearing this voice.

Jiang Chen looked up at the Spirit Hall Soul Master who jumped down from the tree in the Soul Hunting Forest.

The Soul Master was dressed in a white robe, tilting his head and looking at Jiang Chen with a puzzled expression.

"Is it a wild soul beast? Judging from its shape, it does look somewhat like one. It's quite interesting that it would come to the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest."

As the Soul Master spoke, he lifted his foot and walked towards Jiang Chen.

After all, in his eyes, Jiang Chen's size meant he was just a ten-year-old soul beast.

At most, they would be a hundred-year-old soul beast. It's impossible for there to be high-level soul beasts around cities inhabited by humans.

However, this Soul Master was unaware that Jiang Chen was watching him walk towards him with such confidence.

Jiang Chen was completely dumbfounded.

No, are you really that brave?

However, this also proves that Jiang Chen's plan to shrink his size and move around was indeed feasible and very deceptive.

After all, in the Douluo Continent, age is basically determined by physical appearance.

Small-sized but extremely powerful soul beasts are rare and not the mainstream.

These kinds of spirit beasts are basically special cases.

After a moment of initial confusion, Jiang Chen returned to normal.

Seeing the Spirit Hall Soul Master walking towards him, Jiang Chen felt that he had come to the right place.

Just as the Soul Master reached out to grab Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen swung his scythe, aiming for the Soul Master's hand.

"Oh ho, still trying to struggle?"

The Spirit Master from the Spirit Hall chuckled as he watched Jiang Chen's actions.

He then imbued Jiang Chen's hand with soul power and grabbed him fiercely.

However, as he reached for Jiang Chen, the Soul Master's eyes gradually filled with terror.

Because he noticed that Jiang Chen's scythe was rapidly growing longer as it swung at him.

In a short while, Jiang Chen transformed from a 50-centimeter figure into a 3.2-meter complete form.

As Jiang Chen's scythe rose higher, its speed suddenly increased, becoming like a cold glint, directly severing the Soul Master's hand.

"Ugh!!!"

The Soul Master clutched his severed hand and wailed in agony.

"You soul beast, die!!" After experiencing the initial pain, the soul master quickly recovered.

After all, this person was a Soul Master from the Soul Hall, not Yu Xiaogang. After being severely injured, he immediately lost the ability to resist and fell into pain.

"Possessed by the Snow Eagle!!"

The Soul Master quickly used his Soul Power to cover his severed hand to prevent blood from continuing to spurt out.

As the Soul Master summoned his Martial Soul, a snow-white eagle appeared behind him.

Jiang Chen was very satisfied with the Soul Master's actions.

"This is truly a qualified food source, unlike Yu Xiaogang, who required me to intervene again before he knew to summon his martial soul."

After the Soul Master summoned his Martial Soul, Jiang Chen began to take action.

Jiang Chen's figure vanished instantly and appeared beside the Soul Master.

After arriving behind the Soul Master, Jiang Chen swung his scythe again, severing the Soul Master's other hand.

After all, teleportation is a skill that these mid-to-low-level Soul Masters cannot resist.

"Ugh!!"

The Soul Master's other hand flew into the sky, and he let out another scream.

Amidst the Soul Master's screams, Jiang Chen extended two claws from the orange crystal on his chest.

After extending its claws, it grabbed the martial soul released by the soul master from both above and below.

Swish!

Then Jiang Chen swung his scythe and cleaved the Soul Master's Snow Eagle in two.

After splitting the Soul Master's Martial Soul in two, Jiang Chen withdrew his claws and began to devour the Martial Soul.

The snow eagle, now split in two, was quickly absorbed into Jiang Chen's body.

After Jiang Chen absorbed the snow eagle into his body and began to digest it...

The Soul Master, kneeling in agony from his severed hand, cried out in panic, "My Martial Soul! My Soul Power! Where is my Soul Power?!"

Feeling his body become completely empty, the Soul Master screamed in despair.

Even when his hands were severed, he had never felt this desperate.
