Douluo Continent: Pioneers of the Era, Gods in Parallel

Zhou Yuan is now undoubtedly the backbone of the group.

As soon as he spoke, the panicked emotions of the other four visibly calmed down a bit.

"What happens to the tribe is beyond our control."

"Our immediate priority is to secure timber, water, and other food supplies... but to achieve that, we first need to find a way out of this cave."

"With our current strength, no one can leave easily, therefore we need to cooperate."

"Listen to my plan, Caiwei. Your task is to try your best to control your martial soul, Evergreen Vine, to pull the vines on the distant mountain wall over. Then Shihao and I will pull them down with all our might, Manqian will be in charge of cutting them, and Yan Yan will be on guard for the surroundings... After collecting the materials, we will weave a ladder and go out through the crack behind the cave..."

Zhou Yuan gave the order and assigned tasks to everyone.

With things to do, the group was noticeably less panicked and helpless.

They then began to take action.

During this process, Zhou Yuan was busy while also thinking about the follow-up arrangements.

After spending a few days in this cave, it seems relatively safe now.

I just don't know what's going on outside the cave.

If you are not far from the tribe and there is no great danger, then the best course of action is to return to the tribe.

Even if they were to encounter a beast tide, it was impossible for all of the tens of thousands of people in the tribe to die. Given human nature, they would most likely return to their original location and band together again.

It's much safer when we're all together.

Even if the tribe members are gone, aren't there still supplies?

If the cave below is fraught with danger, then this trip down is to find food and water, and incidentally, to see if they can hunt down the spirit rings they need.

Although they are all still children, and only Manqian is a Soul Master, if they discover a Soul Beast and plan accordingly, they still have a chance to successfully hunt down their target.

Even if the first spirit ring only has a ten-year lifespan, Zhou Yuan would not hesitate if necessary.

Such is the situation!

Moreover, he possesses twin martial souls, which gives him room for error.

Moreover, who says that a ten-year spirit ring can't have powerful spirit skills?

If he remembered correctly, during the Spirit Hall era, Shrek Academy had a teacher named Li Yusong whose spirit was the Dragon Pattern Staff, and whose first spirit ring was ten years old.

His soul skill increases damage by 200%.

This soul skill's amplification is extremely powerful for a weapon-type martial soul, but his martial soul itself is somewhat lacking, which is why the amplification effect isn't fully realized.

With their ideas and goals clear, the group quickly got to work.

Although they are still children, children living in this era receive various forms of training from a young age, and the first concept instilled in them is survival.

Survival is paramount.

Therefore, even though they were very depressed, they still had to keep busy in order to survive.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened that day.

After a whole day of work, they collected a large number of vines.

At night, a bonfire was lit in the cave. Zhou Yuan and Shi Hao kept watch for half the night. While keeping watch, they kept adding fuel to the bonfire, and at the same time, they began to weave a rope ladder.

The low growls of various spirit beasts and wild animals echoed outside the cave.

It was exceptionally eerie and terrifying.

"Zhou Yuan, can we really survive?"

As Shi Hao heard the continuous roars of the beasts, his heart became increasingly unsettled.

"Don't worry, we will definitely survive."

Zhou Yuan spoke in a deep voice, his tone full of power.

In the past two days, there have been more and more spirit beasts near the cave.

It's certain that they're being targeted.

It was only because they had the advantage of terrain that those spirit beasts had no chance to harm them.

But Zhou Yuan knew very well that this kind of thing was not stable.

Many spirit beasts still possess the ability to climb.

Therefore, he had to find a way to change the status quo.

"Xiao Hao, have you thought about what kind of spirit beast you want to hunt for your first spirit ring?"

Zhou Yuan knew that Shi Hao was overthinking things again, so he talked about other things to distract him.

"I don't know either, I'll just hunt whatever spirit beasts I encounter."

When this matter was brought up, Shi Hao didn't really have any reservations.

"Well then, let me give you some advice."

"Compared to weapon spirits, choosing spirit rings for beast spirits is significantly simpler. The most direct method is to hunt spirit beasts of the same type for spirit rings. In this process, apart from pursuing elemental attributes, you only need to pursue bloodline attributes."

"For example, your Martial Soul Thousand-Pound Ant King is a high-level beast Martial Soul. It's best to follow the path of strength. The simplest way is to hunt some ant-type Soul Beasts, such as Black Iron Ants, Flying Wing Ants, or Thousand-Pound Ants."

"Of course, due to limitations, it is difficult to find the desired soul beast. In this case, you can consider settling for something less. Some powerful insect-type soul beasts are also feasible. The most representative example is the Gold-Eating Insect."

"Even though you and Yan Yan both have beast-type martial souls, your choices are different."

"Her martial soul, the Ice Fox, possesses both spiritual and ice elemental attributes. Most fox-type soul beasts possess spiritual power, making fox-type soul beasts her best choice. However, other soul beasts, as long as they possess spiritual attributes, are also good choices. In addition, ice attributes are equally important. It depends on which development path she wants to take, or whether she wants both."

"Actually, I do know of a soul beast that would be perfect for Yan Yan, and that's the Ice Silkworm. This soul beast is very weak and is often food for many other soul beasts. Therefore, it possesses skills such as simulation, disguise, and concealment, making it very suitable as Yan Yan's first soul ring. It's a pity I don't know where I can find one..."

As Zhou Yuan slowly explained things to Shi Hao, he also sorted out the development direction of the people around him.

The hunters in the tribe were far too crude.

Most of the time it depends on luck. If you encounter a suitable soul beast, you hunt it down directly.

In the tribe, you can even see that the first two soul rings are white ten-year soul rings, and you can also see that even the sixth soul ring of a Soul Emperor is a thousand-year soul ring.

Of course, not everything was bad.

Even within the tribe, there are still people who dare to try.

There are even cases of people using a thousand-year-old spirit ring as their second spirit ring, which is achieved without the help of external forces.

The reason for this is simple: he was lucky.

Everyone else who forcibly absorbed high-age spirit rings died; he survived by sheer luck.

The price to pay is damage to the meridians, preventing further advancement in cultivation.

It is because of this series of reasons that people in the tribe, despite their high talent, find it difficult to reach higher levels.

If a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level were to emerge from their tribe, and a strict system were established, the tribe would have already secured a place in this barbaric era.

Zhou Yuan was unaware that his words would once again cause turmoil on both the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent.
