Chapter 140 Soul Beast: Guangying
“Zhou Qing, like Xiao Wu, are you also an adventurer in the Nordin Guild? Can you take me with you to experience adventure missions in the guild?”
Qingzhuzhu looked expectant.
"This..."
"I can pay you an additional thousand gold soul coins." Zhu Ma identified Zhou Qing's weakness and offered her own bargaining chip.
"Then why are you embarrassed?"
Zhou Qing laughed and said immediately, "Deal!"
"You are so greedy for money!" Xiao Wu said scornfully.
“I don’t steal or rob, so how can I be greedy for the money I earn based on my ability?” Zhou Qing retorted, “You are just jealous.”
“ Jealousy? Sister Xiaowu will be jealous of you?" Xiaowu smiled disdainfully, "Don't forget, we are a team, you can take the task, and I can take the task, and the reward of the task must be divided equally."
"Haha!"
Zhou Qing sneered twice, greeted Qingzhu Zhu and Zhu's mother, and headed towards the Notting Guild. He waved to Xiao Wu with his back turned, "Goodbye."
However, Xiao Wu still chased after him.
“Why are you still following me?”
“I have accepted the task of leading Zhu Ma and Qingzhu Zhu to visit Notting City. Of course, I am going to the guild to get paid.” Xiao Wu He took out a piece of assignment paper from the small bag at his waist and waved it in front of Zhou Qing's eyes.
After arriving at Noting Guild, Xiao Wu immediately received her reward, and then walked to Zhou Qing, Qingzhu Zhu, and Zhu Ma, wanting to see what kind of mission they would choose.
“How about this?”
Zhou Qing pointed to a piece of task paper for hunting and capturing soul beasts.
The person who issued this mission is a young nobleman in Notting City who wants to find a suitable soul ring for his thirteen-year-old daughter.
The reason why it was capturing rather than hunting was because this young nobleman did not want his daughter to take risks in the soul hunting forest with the soul master.
Therefore, the soul master who takes on this task needs to bring the soul beast back alive.
The soul beast that this little noble daughter needs is a kind of firefly called Guangying, and the age requirement must be more than fifty years. In terms of reward, a soul master is required to bring back the living soul beast. , the conditions were relatively harsh, so the price reached one thousand gold soul coins.
But because it is difficult to "live" this requirement, this task has been posted here for half a month, and there is still no one interested.
After all, when capturing soul beasts in the soul hunting forest, the dangers you have to face are not only the soul beasts that the employer needs, but also other soul beasts, poisonous insects, and other unknown situations, such as: with Other soul-splitting teams met and clashed.
“Okay, that’s it.”
Qingzhuzhu's eyes were full of expectation.
So, Zhou Qing tore off the task paper, walked to the counter, reported to Alice, and left the guild with Qingzhu Zhu, Zhu Ma and Xiao Wu. By the way, Xiao Wu wanted to follow her, saying she wanted to see what a soul beast like Guangying looked like - she had never seen such a soul beast in the Star Dou Forest.
Because we are riding Qingzhuzhu’s carriage, it has an open interior and excellent shock absorption effect, and the horse pulling the carriage is one of the very few spirit beasts that can be tamed by humans: A unicorn can travel thousands of miles in a day, so Zhou Qing estimated that if he was lucky, he would be able to return to Notting City before early morning, not counting the time spent hunting the soul beast, but counting the time spent traveling.
Zhou Qing introduced the situation about Guangying: "Guangying, this kind of firefly, may be different from other firefly-like soul beasts you know. It only appears in areas with distinct seasons. , Therefore, this kind of spirit beast does not exist in large wild forests such as Star Forest and Sunset Forest, which are like spring all year round. It can only be found near Notting City, and it must be found in summer. "< br>
"Fortunately, there is still some time before autumn. It is estimated that if it is half a month later, we will not see this kind of spirit beast."
Outside the carriage, Zhu's mother, who was driving, turned back and showed a surprised look: " You seem to know a lot about the situation of soul beasts?”
“I just like to read books. As a civilian, I can only learn all kinds of information about soul master training and soul beast races through every opportunity. Infer what kind of soul ring is suitable for different martial spirits."
Zhou Qing gave an example, "Just like the noble who issued this task, his daughter's martial spirit is a candle, which is an auxiliary martial spirit. , can illuminate and release a warm light to slowly heal injuries."
"The reason why I chose the light firefly is because this kind of soul beast can shine, but the light is not dazzling and can play a role. A slight healing effect, similar to the flame of a candle, so they complement each other well.”
Qingzhuzhu nodded slightly and asked: "About fireflies, before I awakened my martial soul, I heard someone talk about a kind of neon cloak of light. It has a soft light, has very powerful healing power, and is huge in number. Why not choose this one?" ?”
Can he say that he has never heard of the name of the Neon Clothes Insect of Light?
There is no introduction to this kind of soul beast in the collection of books in the Notting College library, and he has not yet taken the time to browse the library in the Notting City Spirit Branch Hall.
However, Zhou Qing naturally couldn't show it, but asked: "Where do these neon insects of light mainly gather?"
"Star Forest!"
Xiao Wu rushed to answer.
Oops!
This firefly-like soul beast could be seen every night when she was a carefree rabbit!
“Just like Xiao Wu said, this kind of soul beast lives in the Star Dou Forest, and the little nobles in Notting City have the wealth, resources, and connections to hire more powerful soul masters to do that. Hunting soul beasts in the big forest?"
Zhou Qing calmly concealed his "ignorance" and answered Qingzhu Zhu's question from another angle, "For most civilian soul masters, , even for small-town nobles with low status, there are actually not so many choices.”
Although Qingzhuzhu was young, he still ignorantly sensed the gap between the children of big families and the royal family and the children of other poor families and common people.
But now, Zhou Qing summarized the key and showed it in front of her.
Wealth, connections, resources...
[No wonder Zhou Qing wants me to live happily every day. It turns out that compared to others, I was born in the Nether Civet family. , I really have everything that others may not be able to obtain in their lifetime! 】
Once she learned how to compare, Qingzhu Zhu found that she really seemed to be quite happy... But why did she feel so depressed when she stayed in the family?
"Speaking of the phoenix, this kind of soul beast will shed its wings after the summer and form a shape similar to that of an ant. It will burrow into the ground and rely on various rotten leaves, branches, and fruits for food until the next summer. Only then will the wings grow again." Seeing Qingzhuzhu's expression slightly downcast, Zhou Qing continued to talk about the soul beasts like Guangying.
"Why? Isn't it good to have wings all the time? You can fly freely." Qingzhu Zhu's attention was indeed attracted, and he couldn't help but ask, "How great would that be?"
