A Bite of Douluo Continent

Yes, small shops can also hire waiters!

Having worked as a waiter for so long, I had completely forgotten about this.

"Okay! We'll ask again when the boss gets back."

Qin Yue suddenly stood up, "Then I'll go practice cutting carrots again!"

Qin Yao watched as Qin Yue rushed excitedly towards the kitchen as if she had been given a soul, and couldn't help but smile slightly. She also stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

She should also practice making hot pot broth.

She bought all the necessary ingredients. Although they weren't as high-end as the owner's, and the hot pot broth she made certainly wasn't as delicious, it was enough for her to practice.

...

"This lake is nice, it looks quite big." Qi Han wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and observed the Crimson Flame Lake in front of him through the cracks in the rocks.

This is the fourth Crimson Flame Lake he has found, guided by Ruyi.

After finding the first Crimson Lake, he found the second and third Crimson Lakes under the guidance of Ruyi. However, the area of ​​these two Crimson Lakes was not even as large as the first one, and there were no thousand-year-old beings among them. He could only continue searching.

The Crimson Flame Lake in front of us is about 200 meters in circumference, which is considered medium size. The probability of finding a thousand-year-old Earthfire Dragon Sturgeon there is much higher.

But the only problem is...

There were no other soul beasts on the shore of this Crimson Flame Lake at the moment.

Without other spirit beasts present, the Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon would rarely show itself, so Qi Han couldn't tell if there were any thousand-year-old spirit beasts in the lake.

This is a situation we haven't encountered at the previous three lakesides.

"Ruyi, what should we do?"

Looking at the calm lake in front of him, Qi Han was at a loss.

With a muffled thud, a huge figure landed on the ground next to Qi Han.

That was a century-old, hellish bull, and the snowflake beef used in hot pot comes from it.

"Hey, I'll give you a bait as a favor. It's up to you now." Ruyi's voice echoed in his mind.

The carcass of this Hellfire Bull was incomplete; the best parts had already been taken, clearly processed into food by Ruyi. The remaining parts, if left in the past, would have become food for other soul beasts raised in the small world. Now, using it as bait for Qi Han is just right.

Qi Han's eyes lit up, and he chuckled, "Thank you, Boss Ruyi, for the Hellfire Bull gift!"

Gulu on the shoulder tilted its head and looked at the enormous creature on the ground, then turned its head to look cautiously at the lake.

Grabbing one of the Hellfire Bull's legs, Qi Han yanked hard, unable to resist baring his teeth in a tug.

"Goodness, it's really heavy."

This purgatory bull has lost most of its essence, at least half of its weight, but it still weighs about a thousand pounds.

A complete Hellfire Bull would probably weigh over a ton, right?

If it were Qi Han from his previous life, he probably wouldn't have been able to budge this huge thing. Fortunately, he is now a Soul Master, and he can still move it by using his soul power.

Grabbing one of the Hellfire Bull's legs, Qi Han channeled his soul power into his hand, his strength suddenly increasing significantly. His face flushed slightly, and with a low shout, he used all his strength to fling the Hellfire Bull's corpse away.

"Boom!"

With a dull thud, the Hellfire Bull landed right on the lakeshore, with half of its body already submerged in the water.

This made Qi Han exclaim how lucky he was. He didn't know if he was accurate when throwing things, so he was actually hoping for the best when he threw. Fortunately, the place he threw it was just right.

Let's see if there are any thousand-year-old Earthfire Dragon Sturgeons in this Crimson Flame Lake.

After a while, Qi Han was getting impatient and was about to speak when suddenly something moved in front of him.

In the crimson lake water, a more vivid crimson color emerged.

The exposed length alone is already close to ten meters.

Needless to say, this is definitely a thousand-year-old Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon.

The Fire Dragon Sturgeon poked its head out of the water and swiftly bit the Hellfire Bull's thigh, intending to drag it back into the lake.

Qi Han knew he couldn't wait any longer; if he waited until the guy was completely submerged, all his efforts would be in vain.

Thinking of this, he emerged from behind the large rock where he was hiding and shouted out loud.

"Demon, take this!"

It's a crossover!

However, the goal of attracting the attention of the ground dragon sturgeon has been achieved.

The Fire Dragon Sturgeon paused, then turned its slender head toward Qi Han.

A kitchen knife appeared in Qi Han's hand, and his first spirit ring suddenly lit up.

As he swung his sword with all his might towards the Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon, a blade of light more than ten meters long, carrying a chilling killing intent, instantly slashed towards the Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon.

Qi Han was startled by the slash; this was the first time he had used his first soul skill at the thousand-year level, and its power was much greater than before.

"Hiss!" The Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon let out a sharp cry, twisting its body to avoid a fatal blow, but as the blade entered the water, traces of blood slowly appeared.

Although the Fire Dragon Sturgeon dodged the attack, it still managed to injure its tail due to the suddenness of the blow.

Enraged, the Earthfire Dragon Sturgeon turned and unleashed a pillar of fire directly at Qi Han.

The pillar of fire was as big as a bowl; if it hit Qi Han, he would be in grave danger.

However, Qi Han had anticipated this move. While quickly approaching the direction of the Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon, he also predicted the direction the dragon would turn its head and dodged the deadly pillar of fire.

The fiery pillar missed its target, but instead pierced right through the massive rock, as thick as several people could hug, where Qi Han had just been hiding, causing Qi Han's pupils to shrink involuntarily.

This power is terrifying!

Enraged by its unsuccessful attack, the Fire Dragon Sturgeon brewed flames in its mouth, ready to unleash another attack.

Qi Han had already moved along the ground in a zigzag pattern. For a moment, the Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon kept turning its head in response to Qi Han's movements, but it was still unable to spew out a second column of fire.

Only a dozen meters away from the Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon, Qi Han's eyes flashed slightly, and his second soul ring suddenly shone brightly.

Let's see just how powerful this second soul skill, which has never been used before, really is!

Chapter 193 The Third Soul Skill

As Qi Han's second spirit ring was activated, the kitchen knife spirit in his hand seemed to become elusive.

Qi Han leaped up suddenly and swung his sword in mid-air towards the direction of the Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon, instantly creating a hundred sword shadows.

Each of these hundred sword shadows was real, and each strike contained 20% of Qi Han's full-force power.

With a hundred overlapping blade shadows, the power of this attack was enough to reach twenty times that of Qi Han's own strength.

The burst of power in an instant almost drained half of Qi Han's own soul power. Even Qi Han was somewhat intimidated by such a powerful burst of soul power.

Amidst the dense barrage of blades, the Earthfire Dragon Sturgeon let out a hiss, unable to dodge in time, and was about to perish on the spot.

At that very moment, a sudden change occurred.

Ripples spread across the calm lake surface as a pillar of fire suddenly erupted from the water beside Qi Han, striking him directly above his head. The diameter of the pillar was no less than that of the fire pillar spewed by the Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon before them.

There's actually a second thousand-year-old Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon in this lake?

Qi Han's expression changed drastically, but he could no longer use the air to dodge. Just as he was about to take Gulu into the system space to avoid this attack, Gulu on his shoulder suddenly let out a roar.

"Meow!!!"

As the pillar of flame was unleashed, Gulu and Qi Han noticed this deadly attack almost simultaneously.

Unlike Qi Han, Gulu, which sits firmly on Qi Han's shoulder, can use the momentum to leap away at any time.

But as the flame pillar gradually magnified in his eyes, a human-like anxiety and hesitation flashed in Gulu's eyes.

No way! If I leave, my human is doomed!

How can I take my pet owner with me?

No one noticed that at that moment, wisps of mist suddenly appeared in Gulu's dark purple pupils, and a mysterious power was slowly flowing within his body, as if some amazing change was taking place.

With a sharp, guttural roar, Qi Han was taken aback, and his movement into the system space slowed down considerably.

He suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, and his perspective changed.

My current state is somewhat like my soul leaving my body, watching the entire process of being hit by the Flame Pillar from a god-like perspective.

"No!" Qi Han couldn't help but shout as the pillar of fire was about to hit his head.

Huh?

Why can someone still speak even when their soul leaves their body?

Before he could even think about it, Qi Han saw the "himself" in front of him being struck by the pillar of fire and slowly dissipating into mist.

This…

Qi Han looked down at his body in astonishment, only to find that he had not been separated from his body by soul, but had been teleported to the side in an instant. As for the "self" he saw being hit by the pillar of fire, it was just a shadow clone.

Is it Gulu?

Qi Han recalled the sudden roar that had just appeared and turned to look at Gulu on his shoulder.

Gulu's dark purple eyes were slightly closed, with a faint mist emanating from between them. Its body was covered with a layer of illusory mist, giving it an unreal feeling.

This is…

"This little guy just now unleashed his talent for the first time in a moment of panic, and is now in a state similar to a Soul Master's deep meditation. Don't disturb it, I'll put it into the system space first." Ruyi's words suddenly appeared, and then Ruyi directly put the Gulu on Qi Han's shoulder into the system space.

"Don't get distracted, the battle isn't over yet."

correct!

Reminded by Ruyi, Qi Han realized that he hadn't dealt with the Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon yet.

The first Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon that appeared was slashed by Qi Han's second soul skill, Thousandfold Blade Shadow, leaving countless deep, bone-revealing wounds on its body. Seeing that it was about to die, it slowly shrank back, wanting to return to the Crimson Flame Lake.

Which line of this?

Qi Han was naturally not going to let his hard-won prey escape. He had a flying claw in his hand and reached for the dying Earth Fire Dragon Sturgeon.

Come here!
