Chapter 83: Returning favors, Nether Civet Zhu Zhuqing
The Star Dou Forest is the largest soul beast forest on the Douluo Continent. Every day, a large number of soul masters enter the Star Dou Forest to obtain soul rings.
Therefore, the villages near the Sunset Forest gradually developed into towns, with soul beast business and soul master business being integrated. Except for the occasional soul beast with no eyesight who would accidentally break into the soul hunting town, everything was so 'quiet' Peace'.
In a courtyard near the outskirts of the Star Forest, Wang Qi walked into the house wearing a coarse short shirt and carrying a barrel.
"Sister Yan, what are you having for dinner tonight?"
"Stewed meat, the spirit beast that attacked our house last time hasn't finished eating yet, so it will continue to eat today."
A year ago, Wang Qi left Tiandou City. After recovering a little strength, he directly brought Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo to the Soul Hunting Town and settled here.
Dugu Yan's five internal organs were ruptured. Fortunately, Wang Qi knew some medical skills and woke up after a month of sleep with the help of the martial arts spirit of the medicine refining furnace.
As for Dugu Bo, the situation is more serious. He is obviously the strongest, but he is the most seriously injured. His five internal organs are displaced and his muscles and veins are also in trouble. If the effect of the immortal herbs in his body had not been fully absorbed, that hammer The aftermath may directly destroy Dugu Bo.
It stands to reason that with Dugu Bo's strength, even if he couldn't defeat Tang Hao, he wouldn't be injured to this extent. But the bad thing was that Wang Qi and Dugu Yan were there. Dugu Bo withstood most of the impact in order to protect Wang Qi and Dugu Yan.
As for Tang Hao's oath not to attack Wang Qi? It’s hard to comment on this. Dugu Bo protected Wang Qi and released the poisonous mist. In a sense, Dugu Bo’s poisonous mist not only covered the visible area in the small circle around Dugu Bo, the poisonous mist would definitely affect the surrounding areas. Tang Hao was waiting for the attack in the air.
Dugu Bo and Wang Qi are considered a whole, so this wave is difficult to explain clearly.
(Forcibly explain, Douluo World consciousness is incomplete. As long as you don’t attack directly, as long as you don’t attack with the intention of deliberately killing Wang Qi, it doesn’t count as a violation of the oath. You know the poison, but what do you say? Pounce on the street and kill the person in front of you. I forgot the setting, the plot has to be pushed back, and the main plot has been determined. Baldy can only apologize here, sorry,)
After waking up, Dugu Bo was in a very bad state. Although he was not dead, he was still alive. Hidden injuries can only be recovered through time and the power of the fairy grass.
When he came to the dinner table, Wang Qi cut off a piece of soul beast meat with his knife and asked: "Sister Yan, how long has the old man been in seclusion this time?"
"It's been ten days, what's wrong?"
Dugu Yan didn't think too much. In the past, he was sensitive because he was afraid of being plotted. Now, life is good like this and there is no need to plot.
As we all know, things like the brain become more effective the more you use them.
"It's okay. I think after a year, the old man's injuries should be almost healed. We should prepare."
"Isn't it good here? Why do you want to go back to Tiandou City?"
Dugu Yan looked at Wang Qi doubtfully. Although he didn't want to admit it, the comfortable life was addictive. At least Dugu Yan would not think about going back to Tiandou City now. Dugu Yan only wanted to stay in the Soul Hunting Town and live here. A monotonous, single day.
Wang Qi agreed with this, because Wang Qi also wanted to live like this, with money and time. Apart from having no strength, Wang Qi was very satisfied with such a life.
But when he thought about the look Qian Renxue gave him when he rescued the three of them, Wang Qi knew that if he dared to play Peach Blossom Spring, there would be endless trouble waiting for him.
As for safety issues? Wang Qi is not very worried about this. After Dugu Bo recovers from his injury, the general forces will be protected by Dugu Bo, and the major forces will be protected by Wuhun Palace. It can be said that as long as Wang Qi does not go to Poseidon Island or the Killing City, he will Basically you won't encounter much danger.
As for Tang Hao? No matter how much you say, Marde Wang Qi is kind to Tang Hao's family, at least from Tang Hao's perspective, and counting the martial soul oath (apologize again) unless Tang Hao is crazy, he really won't take the initiative to mess with Wang Qi .
There are not many unreasonable people in Douluo Continent. Apart from the soul masters who have inherited the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit, the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong and the moody Dugu Bo are not worthy of Xiaogang. Other than that, the others are fine. , at least willing to listen to your analysis.
When it comes to the ranking of Wang Qi's favorite characters in Douluo Continent, the number one character is undoubtedly the spiritual inheritor of the Angel family's "Knight". In Wang Qi's eyes, Qian Daoliu is a bit pedantic.
For such a person, as a friend, the knight has absolutely nothing to say to his friend; as an opponent, the knight is quite law-abiding; as an enemy, the knight is quite kind. As long as he is not a treacherous and evil person, the knight is generally willing to give the opponent a chance.
I haven’t seen Qian Renxue being bullied by Tang San and others in the original work, but Qian Daoliu didn’t directly take action to bully the younger ones. This is what Wang Qi admires most about Qian Daoliu. At least he doesn’t have to worry if he stays with Qian Daoliu. Be afraid.
But Qian Renxue is different. She has learned the way of a knight and the inner skills of a half-emperor. In the original work, Qian Renxue can even ignore the life and death of the She Spear Porcupine to win over Tang San. This shows that Qian Renxue is not a completely rule-abiding person. people. At least in observing the way of knights, he is not as good as Qian Daoliu.
If the person who is targeting him is Qian Daoliu, Wang Qi will not be a fool and just stay in the soul-hunting town to live in seclusion. The worst thing he can do is get a beating. Wang Qi has a strong body and can withstand beatings, but the one who is targeting him is Wang Qi didn't dare to bet on Qian Renxue, so he could only report back to Qian Renxue.
"Hey, we are still alive now. It was Xue Qinghe who saved us, otherwise we wouldn't be alive now."
"Yes, it is the rule of our Dugu family to repay kindness. This time, Prince Xue Qinghe not only saved me, but also saved you and Xiao Qi. Yanzi, we have to return to Tiandou City."
"Grandpa?" Hearing Dugu Bo's voice, Dugu Yan's awkward little face immediately blossomed. He stood up and ran directly towards Dugu Bo, hanging directly on Dugu Bo's body.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, you are a big girl now, why do you still look like a child? Come down first."
Dugu Bo rubbed Dugu Yan's head, smiled, came to the dining table, tore off a piece of meat and ate it.
"How's it going? Master, have you fully recovered from your injuries?"
"Well, I've recovered, but the medicinal effect of the fairy grass and the previous accumulation have been exhausted. Originally, I thought I could break through to the ninety-sixth level Super Douluo, but now it seems that, in general, I survived. Just fine.”
"I was so focused on healing my wounds before that I didn't notice the situation of the boy. He should be at level 50 now, right? Tsk, what a monster. A quasi-soul king who is fourteen years old and less than fifteen years old. I am afraid that he is the first to break the record of soul king in mainland China. Gonna be broken by you."
Even though Dugu Bo recovered from his injuries, he still couldn't feel the fluctuations in Wang Qi's soul power, but based on his feelings, Dugu Bo felt that Wang Qi must have broken through to level 50.
"Well, I made a breakthrough three months ago. If I practice seriously during this period, I can make a breakthrough earlier."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're really a little monster, but it's good to relax a bit. Only when I reached this level did I realize that cultivation can't be achieved through hard work. At least when you break through to the ninety-sixth level, you need more than just soul power. accumulation."
"No wonder some people say that after cultivating to a Super Douluo, each level up is a hurdle. I have felt it this past year."
Dugu Bo seemed to have thought of something, and said some incomprehensible words with emotion, which made Dugu Yan on the side feel confused.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? What should I do?"
"Haha, Yanzi doesn't need you to understand. With Yanzi's talent, it's almost certain that he can become a Titled Douluo, a Super Douluo, or a Peerless Douluo. You don't need to understand now."
Dugu Bo laughed loudly and looked at Dugu Yan, then he and Wang Qi inquired about the recent events in Douluo Continent.
Wang Qize briefly recounted the news he heard in the tavern of the Soul Hunting Town.
In order to hide his whereabouts, there was no other way. There were too many people who wanted Dugu Bo dead. Wang Qi was worried that he would attract the enemy because he took the initiative to inquire about the information.
Dugu Bo basically didn't have much strength before he fully recovered from his injury. Whether it was for self-protection or for other reasons, Wang Qi could not expose his information.
It just so happened that a large number of soul masters came and went from the tavern in the soul hunting town every day. Even if he had to listen to the news passively, Wang Qi would be able to get a general idea.
The first is the news about the Star Luo Empire. First, the Po Clan made a splash at the auction, which made the Star Luo royal family notice the Po Clan. As a result, the Po Clan’s status in the Star Luo Empire skyrocketed. In addition, Yang Wudi’s In terms of strength, it can be said that in the Star Luo Empire, the Po Yi Clan is the family with the highest status besides the Titled Douluo Family and the Xing Luo Royal Family.
At the same time, the status of the Min clan and the Yu clan has also been improved, which can be regarded as taking advantage of Yang Wudi of the Po clan. Secondly, Emperor Xingluo was said to have received an opportunity, and he broke through to the title of Douluo at the age of fifty-nine, and for a time he was unparalleled.
Finally, the Star Luo Empire has a high war spirit. Even if Wuhun Palace takes action to suppress it, it still cannot stop the high war mood of the Star Luo Empire soldiers. Looking at this posture, once the Star Luo Empire has the strength to fight against the Wuhun Palace, it will Choose to go to war and unify Douluo Continent.
As for the Tiandou Empire, the information on the Tiandou Empire was almost covered in the previous chapter, so I won’t go into details here.
Dugu Bo took a sip of wine, pondered for a moment and then looked at Wang Qi:
"In other words, in order to repay this life-saving kindness, I need to help Xue Qinghe secure the throne? In this way, won't I be deeply bound to the Tiandou royal family? No, I can agree."
"Stop it, don't mention any three conditions. Old man, your three conditions are not necessarily valuable. Besides, who told you that the Dugu family needs a platform? We don't need to get involved in the affairs of the Tiandou royal family. We only owe Xue Qinghe’s favor is not owed to the Tiandou royal family.”
That being said, Wang Qi did not want to get involved in the whirlpool within the Tiandou royal family. Wang Qi's way of repaying Qian Renxue was also very simple, that is, to return to the Tiandou Royal Academy.
And Dugu Bo is Zhantai Xue Qinghe, and there will be no afterthoughts, and there is no need for any afterthoughts. In this way, at least when the wind blows, Qian Renxue is willing to protect Wang Qi, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
Don't look at that crazy woman Bibi Dong being unreasonable, but that has to be divided, at least in Yu. At least Bibi Dong has complicated emotions towards Qian Renxue. When working under Qian Renxue, as long as you don't point your finger at Bibi Dong's nose He said that she was dirty and just messed with Yu Xiaogang. Bibi Dong was still very tolerant of Qian Renxue's subordinates.
"What kind of platform is it for an individual and not for the royal family? I don't want to have so many things. I will prepare to practice hard when I go back this time and strive to break through to level ninety-five in a year. Then I will go out to travel and prepare to break through to level ninety-six." Make preparations. As for things like clearing the river with Xue, leave it to your boy. You are better than a monkey at sticking hair on your head, so you won’t suffer any loss anyway.”
"Hey, I have lived here for a year, and I am a little reluctant to leave soon. By the way, you are now level 50. How about I help you get the fifth soul ring here? Save it."
"I have already chosen the fifth soul ring, but I don't know if you can do it, old man."
"Oh? What soul beast? Where is it?"
"Sunset Forest, how about the 70,000-year-old Sacred Heart Fire Ape? Are you sure, old man?"
"What? That monster?"
Dugu Bo looked at Wang Qi in disbelief and almost cursed in his heart. Wang Qi was so capable of causing trouble. Let’s not talk about whether Wang Qi can absorb a 70,000-year-old soul ring. Just talk about the 70,000-year-old Sacred Heart Fire Ape. It is not something that ordinary titled Douluo can deal with.
Dugu Bo was sure that before Dugu Bo detoxified, that is, when he was known as the weakest Titled Douluo, he had no other choice when facing the Sacred Heart Fire Ape except being hammered.
Even now it is very difficult to deal with the Sacred Heart Fire Ape. At least the Sacred Heart Fire Ape wants to run away, and Dugu Bo has no way to deal with him.
Seeing Dugu Bo's excited look, Wang Qi wanted to laugh. Even if he knew in advance that Dugu Bo's reaction would be huge, Wang Qi still wanted to laugh.
"Ultimate Fire, I'm really looking forward to it, but I don't know how far my progress bar for evolving into the Ultimate Fire Spirit will advance after absorbing the soul ring of the Sacred Heart Fire Ape."
Thinking of this, Wang Qi stretched his waist, his body made a crackling sound, and he suddenly felt refreshed.
"Don't worry, I will have a way to deal with that Sacred Heart Fire Ape when the time comes. Old man, have you forgotten my third soul skill? There is a third soul skill, as long as it is used properly, it is just a 70,000-year-old Sacred Heart Fire Ape. There is still a chance.”
"Your third soul ring? That's right. You can control the water in Yangquan. No, the fire of the Sacred Heart Fire Ape is not an ordinary fire. It is a fire that can burn spiritual power. Don't offend, kid. Something really happened then.”
"I don't care at all if you die. I'm worried that Yanzi's fate will not be good after a hundred years. Anyway."
Wang Qi interrupted Dugu Bo's ink-writing and took over the words directly: "In a word, I want to fix the soul ring of the Sacred Heart Fire Ape, and no one can stop it."
"Okay, don't think about what's there and what's not, just proceed step by step."
Wang Qi didn't tell Dugu Boduo. After asking him how much food was left and when he would return to Tiandou City, he climbed over the wall and walked towards the Star Dou Forest.
On the outskirts of the Star Forest, five people dressed in black came to a big tree. They looked at a pool of blood under the tree, dipped their fingers in it, put it to their noses and smelled it.
"The blood smells like Jingxue Powder. Depending on the degree of coagulation of the blood, it won't take more than half an hour at most. Chase in this direction."
The leader took a look at the surroundings, picked a direction and moved quickly. The four soul masters following behind him didn't say much and followed the leader in silence.
Different from ordinary soul masters, these five soul masters carry all kinds of weapons. In the world of soul masters, such people are either an organization specializing in assassinations, or they are there to hide the wounds of hunting targets and avoid getting into trouble. .
Obviously, the way they pursue their prey is very professional, and they look like a professional killer organization at first glance.
The five people left, and at this moment, on the big tree where the five people had just discovered the blood, there was a person holding a large roll of gauze to cover the wound. The girl with a mature figure and an immature face was biting a piece of gauze to prevent herself from making a sound. There was a bandage on her forehead. A fine layer of sweat.
Just when the girl thought that the five people who were secretly chasing her had left, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the devil's whisper suddenly sounded in her ears.
"Third Miss, you don't think you can deceive us by using this method of fooling children, do you?"
With a swish sound, a steel knife struck the girl just where her neck was. Before the girl had time to think, the martial spirit possessed her, and two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, flashed past her feet.
The figure was strong and strong, and even the burden on her chest seemed to be able to boost the girl's speed in conjunction with her body movements at this moment. She concentrated her soul power and sharp claws in her hands, and aimed at the weakest man in black among the five, and launched a series of claw strikes.
The sound of clanging gold and iron sounded. The girl took advantage of the tall and dense trees in the Star Forest and instantly disappeared into the darkness by stepping on the tree trunks.
The five-member team, except for the man in black who was forced to use weapons to resist the girl's claw attack, the other four people caught up instantly. Although their speed was not as fast as that of the girl who escaped in front, they were better than the man in black's tracking skills. Only then did he bite each other tightly and not let go.
At this moment, the childlike Zhu Zhuqing was covering the wound with gauze, her stern little face was wrinkled, and she looked back at her pursuer from time to time, her brows furrowing even more tightly.
Zhu Zhuqing comes from the Zhu family of Star Luo and has been married to the Dai family of the Star Luo royal family for generations. Because of the unique competitive selection system of the Star Luo royal family, Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé Dai Mubai had no choice but to escape from the Star Luo empire three years ago.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was still eight years old and less than nine years old at the time, was left alone in the Star Luo Empire. As early as three years ago, Zhu Zhuqing heard that Dai Mubai appeared near Soto City in the Tiandou Empire. Zhu Zhuqing decided to work harder. Persuade Dai Mubai to fight for the Xingluo throne.
In the competition mode for the throne of the Star Luo Empire, the princes need to compete with each other, and the final winner will determine the successor to the throne.
As for the losing party, it doesn't matter whether they live or die, but as the wife of the losing prince, she is absolutely not allowed to live.
It is precisely because of this rule of the Star Luo Empire that Zhu Zhuqing continued to stay in the Star Luo Empire even after her fiancé fled the Star Luo Empire. All that was waiting for her was death.
The man in black who was chasing Zhu Zhuqing was the secret guard of the Star Luo Zhu family. The person sent to hunt Zhu Zhuqing was none other than Zhu Zhuyun, the fiancée of Davis, the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuqing's sister.
In order to prevent Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai from affecting Davis' succession to the throne, these methods of tracking and assassinating Zhu Zhuqing were all allowed.
The prince is important, but the prince's fiancée is not important.
In the towering tree, Zhu Zhuqing gritted his teeth and tried his best to escape. The five men in black behind him were like hyenas, an organization that would never give up when it stared at its prey.
