Douluo Continent: Pioneers of the Era, Gods in Parallel

Zhou Yuan's actions were a deliberate provocation of the Black-Striped Shadow Leopard.

Although this soul beast is relatively intelligent, it is still a hundred-year-old soul beast.

Faced with such provocation, its bestial nature was naturally aroused.

Of course, there was another crucial reason that made them pounce on it: the food was right in front of them, how could they miss it?

"roar!"

With a roar, the black-striped shadow leopard pounced directly at Zhou Yuan.

"Pull it for me!"

Just then, Zhou Yuan spoke quickly.

Mangan and Shihao, who were already prepared, immediately took action.

The net placed at the entrance of the rift was instantly opened by the combined force from both sides, directly engulfing the soul beast.

This net was woven from the bark of vines found on the cliff face and dyed black with a black liquid made from medicinal herbs, providing excellent concealment in the dark.

And so, the black-striped shadow leopard was captured.

But this is just the beginning.

The power of a hundred-year-old soul beast is still very strong; even if Man Qian and the other three pull together, it is difficult to completely trap it.

Therefore, Zhou Yuan took action immediately.

He raised the stone hammer and hurled it straight at the opponent.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound of bone breaking echoed in the silent, dark cave.

Zhou Yuan clearly saw that the black-striped shadow leopard's body had deformed, but he still felt it wasn't safe enough.

So I went on a rampage and hit him hard a few times.

Only then could I feel at ease.

Manqian and his men then pulled him deeper into the cave.

Looking at the dying black-striped shadow leopard before him, Zhou Yuan hesitated.

This black-striped shadow leopard is about two hundred years old, which is barely enough to be considered his first spirit ring.

But he was truly unwilling to absorb this spirit ring.

Although he had considered that if necessary, it wouldn't be impossible to get his first spirit ring to take ten years.

But when it really comes to this, it's truly hard to accept.

Even though he was imprisoned, he had to admit that he still retained some of the arrogance that comes with being a transmigrator.

With his current physique, even getting a first spirit ring that is less than a thousand years old would be a problem.

Absorbing a two-hundred-year-old soul ring that isn't a good fit will definitely lead to future regret.

"Zhou Yuan, why don't you give me this spirit ring..."

Just as Zhou Yuan hesitated, Zhou Yan Yan stepped out. Her soul power had reached level 10, and she was currently missing a soul ring.

"Tie him up for now. We'll try to find a suitable soul beast after we leave the cave tomorrow. If we still can't find a suitable one, we'll make a decision when he's still alive."

Zhou Yuan was unwilling to absorb it himself, nor did he want those around him to absorb it.

It's such a waste of their talent.

The first spirit ring is very important to them.

Therefore, it is very likely that they will not be able to obtain another spirit ring for several years. In other words, their first spirit skill may accompany them for two or three years or even longer before they can expect to obtain the next spirit skill. They must be cautious.

No one rejected Zhou Yuan's suggestion.

Even Zhou Yanyan, after consuming whale glue, still felt somewhat unwilling to choose a soul ring of such a short duration.

They continued their vigilance throughout the night.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened afterward.

Although human soul masters are a delicacy to soul beasts, it depends on the conditions, doesn't it?

If they can't succeed in this situation and they're still lingering around here, then they're out of their minds.

"A six-hundred-year-old Netherworld Demon Fox!"

In the latter half of the night, Zhou Yuan continued to use his second martial soul, the Illusionary Moon Star Eye, to observe his surroundings and identify traces of soul beast activity.

And sure enough, it actually found a soul beast that was a good match for Zhou Yanyan.

Although he didn't add any spirit rings to his second spirit, he had figured out some of its mysteries during the time he spent keeping watch at night.

For example, it can refract moonlight, allowing us to observe more distant places, or even some blind spots.

In the darkness of night, when the moon is out, being at a high altitude is like having a miniature detector.

However, this scope is limited.

Therefore, he determined the hiding place of the Netherworld Fox.

Similarly, with the help of his newly acquired abilities, he was able to roughly determine the situation within a certain distance around them.

It's arguably worse than we imagined.

With their strength, it would be extremely difficult for them to cross the jungle below and reach the tribe's territory.

The high priest only flew for a short while, but that was the speed of a Soul Saint, which was a very long distance for them.

If there are no soul beasts within this area, everything is fine, but if there are soul beasts, it becomes extremely difficult.

Therefore, he had to change his plans at the last minute.

After daybreak, there was only one goal in leaving the cave: to collect supplies.

We need to collect everything, from clean water to anything else usable.

Therefore, he kept a close watch on his surroundings to avoid any danger as much as possible.

This was an extremely mentally taxing task; he watched until his eyes were swollen.

But he had no choice but to do it in order to survive.

Zhou Yuan couldn't understand why other people who transmigrated to Douluo Continent always tormented Tang San and Huo Yuhao, showing off and slapping faces along the way, capturing all kinds of beauties, and thus becoming gods and reaching the pinnacle of life, right?

But everything changed when it came to him.

It became completely out of control and utterly incomprehensible.

They ended up having to survive in a cave.

Despite the complaints, we still need to be extremely careful in order to survive.

Soon, dawn broke.

Even though they hadn't slept all night yesterday, they were all in high spirits at the moment.

Because they can finally leave this awful place.

But Zhou Yuan is an exception.

"I have some bad news for you: we may not be able to leave immediately."

Zhou Yuan then shared his discovery with everyone.

Upon hearing this news, all four fell silent.

In an instant, feelings of sadness and loss overwhelmed them.

"Do you know why I'm telling you all this at this time?"

"Because, no matter how bad the situation gets, we still need to survive..."

Subsequently, Zhou Yuan began a new round of psychological manipulation against them.

There was no other way; he didn't want to shake people's morale at this time. But the problem was, if he didn't say anything now, they would be hard to listen to him after they left the cave.

If he had explored his second martial soul a couple of days earlier and possessed such abilities, and had ascertained the surrounding situation, this wouldn't have happened.

Fortunately, they were all still children, so they were relatively easy to fool.

After a round of encouragement, everyone regained their fighting spirit.

Then, the group began laying down the ladder, and Zhou Yuan remained vigilant about his surroundings throughout the process.

To avoid accidents.
