A Bite of Douluo Continent

"Meow!"

As the battle between the man and the monkey ended, Gulu excitedly approached, followed by Zhuiyun, who was carrying several thousand-year-old golden silk demon ape corpses on his back.

During the three days of sparring with the Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Silk Demon Ape, Qi Han did not forget his responsibilities as a trainer.

Oh, he's not a trainer... never mind then.

After several days of training, Gulu and Zhuiyun, two thousand-year-old soul beasts, have become increasingly coordinated and their combat experience has greatly improved. At this moment, these two little guys can easily fight against soul beasts that are two or three thousand years old on their own, and when they join forces, they can even briefly contend with soul beasts that are over five thousand years old.

It can be said that the progress has been rapid.

"Gulu, Zhuiyun, we've struck it rich!" Qi Han carefully collected the heart's blood of the ten-thousand-year-old golden silk demon ape, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

This piece of heartfelt blood alone could probably fetch 10,000 gold soul coins.

If you add the various soul beast materials collected over the past five days, you'll have about 100,000 gold soul coins.

Prices on Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent are similar, which means that with 100,000 gold soul coins, Qi Han can buy a shop and start operating.

Buying a store like Yueyaolou might not be enough, but buying a store of the original Shrek Cold Food Festival shouldn't be a problem.

Qi Han planned to keep a low profile, earn a million gold soul coins in a month, and then run away, so the shop didn't need to be so luxurious.

It's okay if it's just passable.

After carefully collecting the heart's blood of the ten-thousand-year-old golden silk demon ape, Qi Han glanced at the group of golden silk demon apes hiding in the tree canopy, secretly casting fearful glances at him, and grinned, "Don't worry, I won't harm you anymore."

In just five days, this group of golden silk apes was almost wiped out by Qi and his little elf... oh no, soul beast companions. Their population has decreased by about 10%. If the damage continues, it may affect the reproduction of golden silk apes in this area.

After extracting the heart blood from the several golden silk demon apes on Zhuiyun's back, Qi Han stepped onto Zhuiyun's back and, carrying Gulu, headed back the way they came.

Next, find a place nearby to sell these materials, and then you can head straight to Mingdu to open a shop!

...

"Ow!"

With a fierce roar, a man and a woman fled for their lives along the barren mountain ridge.

It was Qi Sen and Meng Yun, who had come from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to the Jingyang Mountains to hunt for Soul Rings.

Behind them was a huge soul beast with a body the color of marble. Its wide wingspan was six or seven meters long, and its robust body seemed to contain infinite power. It was covered in tattered armor and had a thick tail behind it as it chased after the two.

This is a unique soul beast called a gargoyle, found only on the Sun and Moon Continent. In the past, it slept like a stone statue, but once awakened, it would hunt down any living creature it saw with extreme ferocity.

Both Qi Sen and Meng Yun had flying soul tools resembling mechanical wings unfolding behind them. Using propulsion devices that spewed out columns of air, they flew at extremely high speeds in the low sky. However, the distance between the two and the gargoyles did not increase as a result; on the contrary, it tended to get closer and closer.

Meng Yun's face was pale and tinged with despair.

Gu Shixiang is the target she wants to hunt down to obtain her fourth spirit ring.

But what she wanted to hunt was a gargoyle that was about three thousand years old, not the ten-thousand-year-old gargoyle that was currently following closely behind the two of them!

Although a three-thousand-year-level spirit ring is a bit low as the fourth spirit ring, it is actually quite good in the Sun Moon Empire. Meng Yun herself is not weak, and as long as she makes some preparations in advance, it is not difficult to deal with such a gargoyle, and that is exactly what she did.

But just as they were about to kill the gargoyle, the senior next to him insisted on showing off the level six soul tool that his teacher had made him experiment with. As a result, the level six soul tool had some problems, and the power it produced was not concentrated, but instead made a lot of noise.

It was this tremendous noise that awakened this ancient gargoyle.

Moreover, it is not an ordinary gargoyle. Judging from its enormous size and the scale of its fragmented armor, this gargoyle is probably as old as 20,000 years.

Although Meng Yun had taken advantage of the chaos to use the soul ring collection device to collect the soul ring of the fallen 3,000-year-old gargoyle, which could be preserved for several days and temporarily relieved him of the problem of the fourth soul ring, the two of them were currently unable to escape the pursuit of this 20,000-year-old gargoyle.

"Junior Sister Meng, didn't your teacher give you any soul tools to save your life?" Qi Sen's expression was also not good, and he couldn't help but ask.

"No." Meng Yun shook his head sadly.

"This..." Qi Sen's eyes showed a struggle. He looked back at the gargoyle that was getting closer and closer and had opened its hideous maw towards the two of them. Finally, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.

As a level 5 Soul Master, he is faster than Meng Yun. If he were flying at full speed, he would be about the same speed as the gargoyle behind him. The reason he was caught up by the other party is mainly because Meng Yun held him back.

Even if he flew at full speed, the gargoyle behind him would likely relentlessly pursue him, and if he exhausted himself first, his life would still be in danger, unless…

"Junior Sister Meng, I'm sorry!"

He suddenly grabbed Meng Yun's arm and pulled him backward. Meng Yun, who was flying through the air, lost his balance and staggered. His speed also slowed down, and the distance between him and the gargoyle was instantly reduced to only about ten meters.

"Qi Sen!" Meng Yun's face showed a mixture of despair and disbelief.

She knew Qi Sen wasn't a good person, but she still underestimated his wickedness. Watching Qi Sen's retreating figure as he sped away, Meng Yun immediately understood his plan, and the despair on her face deepened.

So... am I going to die here?

With a roar, the gargoyle brought a gust of evil wind and lunged at Meng Yun.

Looking at the grotesque maw that was gradually enlarging in front of him, Meng Yun's eyes were filled with despair and resentment.

So ugly…

Am I going to be eaten by such an ugly monster?

Meng Yun slowly closed his eyes, awaiting death. Just as his eyes were about to close completely, a red light suddenly appeared in front of him.

The terrifying heat brought gusts of hot air, causing Meng Yun to open his eyes abruptly.

A crimson blade of light, forty or fifty meters long, flashed past from the side in an instant, cleaving the hideous gargoyle in two and freezing its ferocious expression. The storm brought by the blade of light then followed, ruffling her short, ear-length hair.

What is that...?

Meng Yun turned his head sharply and saw a handsome young man on horseback carrying a long sword and holding a cat in his arms, nodding at him.

Chapter 465 Soul Bone and Ambush

Qi Han thought that he wouldn't encounter any major troubles after leaving the Jingyang Mountains, but he didn't expect to run into trouble as soon as he stepped out of the forest where the Golden Silk Demon Ape lived.

First, he witnessed two unlucky souls, a man and a woman, being chased by a gargoyle, a unique soul beast of the Sun Moon Empire with a ten-thousand-year level. Then, he witnessed the male soul master abandoning the female soul master and running away alone, even dragging her down with him before leaving, as if he wanted her to take him down with him.

Facing the gargoyle that looked to have an estimated 20,000 years of cultivation, Qi Han directly used the combination of five techniques, achieving a decisive victory with a single strike before advancing.

Then he realized that the female soul master looked even younger than he had imagined, probably only in her teens.

Nodding to the girl, Qi Han stepped forward, wanting to check on his results, when the girl spoke.

"Hello... My name is Meng Yun. Thank you for your help just now." Meng Yun's face still showed a hint of relief at surviving the ordeal.

"It's nothing, I just happened to see it, so I thought I'd lend a hand..." Qi Han waved his hand and then headed straight for the gargoyle.

Although Meng Yun was very beautiful, probably on par with the other female staff at Hanshi Restaurant, Qi Han's attention was entirely focused on the gargoyle at the moment.

This is a real treasure. The various soul beast materials taken from the body of a 20,000-year-old gargoyle could probably sell for 20,000 to 30,000 gold soul coins. It's no exaggeration to say that it's a treasure trove.

In comparison, Meng Yun couldn't attract Qi Han's attention at all.

My intervention to save that person was simply a matter of following the situation.

Eh?

Seeing that Qi Han didn't even look at him and ran towards the gargoyle like a bandit entering a village, starting to dismember the gargoyle, Meng Yun's face showed a bit of blankness.

Although she never felt special because of her appearance, objectively speaking, she was indeed very good-looking, so most men tended to be quite polite to her.

This was the first time she had ever encountered someone who completely ignored her like this.

Before Meng Yun could think further, a voice she disliked suddenly rang out from the side, "Junior Sister Meng, are you alright?"

"Junior sister, I'm so glad you're alright. I was just about to rush over and get help for you..."

Silently turning his head to look at Qi Sen, who had somehow turned back and was now slowly approaching him, Meng Yun's hand flashed with light, and a level three soul-guided cannon was instantly erected, its muzzle gleaming coldly as it aimed at Qi Sen. "Get lost!"

The other party's actions just now flashed through Meng Yun's mind. Now, Qi Sen was showing such a disgusting face, weaving clumsy excuses to continue deceiving her. How could she let him go?

If she weren't outmatched, she would definitely retaliate for the way the other person had pulled her earlier.

As for now…

"Qi Sen, get out of here now. I will report everything that happened here to the teacher," Meng Yun said coldly.

"Junior sister, why be so heartless? You really misunderstood me. I only pulled you back because I lost my balance due to sudden acceleration. It was an accident." Qi Sen's face returned to its previous hypocritical expression. He then turned to look at Qi Han, who was squatting in front of the gargoyle with his back to him, dismembering the gargoyle. "This must be the one who killed the gargoyle just now. Thank you so much."

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards Qi Han, a hint of wariness in his eyes.

He was so focused on fleeing for his life that he didn't look back to see the gargoyle being killed. He only realized something was wrong after running for a while, and then turned back.

Meng Yun couldn't possibly have the strength to kill the gargoyle, so the one who killed the gargoyle at this moment was probably this person.

Although I don't know how strong the opponent is.

However, since he has the strength to kill a 20,000-year-old gargoyle, he must be stronger than me.

Level 6 Soul Master?

No, no, no... To kill a 20,000-year-old gargoyle so quickly, one would probably need to be a level seven soul master.

Qi Sen's eyes flashed with a fierce light. A level seven Soul Master was a level he absolutely could not contend with head-on, but a sneak attack was not entirely out of the question.

Under normal circumstances, he would never have taken the initiative to ambush a level seven soul master, but now he was in a difficult situation.

He just used Meng Yun as a shield, so if Meng Yun really died, then naturally there would be no problem. After returning to school, he could easily find any excuse to explain Meng Yun's death.

But Meng Yun is not dead yet. Once she returns to school and reports her actions, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will investigate the matter, and she will definitely be severely punished.

Gu will not only be stripped of his original qualification to enter Mingde Hall, but he may also be expelled from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

His bright future was completely ruined.

Some things you either don't do at all, or if you do do them, you have to go all the way.

So he came back not to reminisce with Meng Yun, but to find an opportunity to keep Meng Yun permanently in the Jingyang Mountains.

Qi Sen originally planned to take direct action, but after discovering Qi Han, his plans changed instantly.

If Meng Yun is killed, the unknown powerful figure before us might cause new complications.

If he were to reveal everything that happened here... then all my efforts would have been in vain.

Therefore, this powerful figure also needs to be silenced, and in fact, must kill the other party first.

Because once Meng Yun is killed, this person will definitely be on guard, and Qi Sen simply cannot confront a Soul Master who is suspected to be at the seventh level head-on.

Therefore, we must take advantage of the moment when the opponent is distracted to dismember the gargoyle and then kill the opponent!

A level seven Soul Master would inevitably have a large number of high-level Soul Tools and rare metals in their storage Soul Tool, all of which they would need.

It can both silence witnesses and make a fortune.
