Chapter 8 Conflict
Half a month later.
Deep in the Star Forest.
A strange soul beast with a shoulder height of more than nine meters, eight legs growing from its belly, two wings on its back, and snow-white scales all over its body was lying on a boulder to take a nap.
In the pothole not far from the soul beast, Qin Ming and others carefully hid.
He was afraid of causing any noise and alarming the spirit beast.
Just when Qin Ming and the others were nervous.
"roar--"
The roar of an unknown soul beast came from the distance.
Hearing the sound, the strange soul beast stood up, spread its wings and flew in the direction of the sound...
Wait until its figure disappears into the sky.
Qin Ming and the others climbed out of the pothole in disgrace.
Many of their clothes were torn and there were many scars on their bodies.
"Mad, I'm scared to death.
What was that thing just now? "
As he spoke, Zhao Wuji kept looking around in case there were other soul beasts hiding around like the rest of them...
Kelin explained to Zhao Wuji while looking at the direction in which the soul beast had just gone.
“That should be an eight-legged Pegasus with about 70,000 years of cultivation.
According to the records in our Spirit Hall books, this kind of spirit beast has the blood of a true dragon, and its strength far exceeds other spirit beasts of fellow practitioners..."
"It's the Spirit Hall classics again?
Do you people in Wuhun Palace understand theoretical knowledge? "
Before Kelin could finish speaking, Liu Erlong on the side interrupted him directly.
There was so much impatience in her tone.
"Hmph, you said before that Xiaogang was a waste.
In my opinion, you people in Wuhun Hall are the losers who really don’t understand the theory of Wuhun.
They have taken us around Xingdou for so many days.
I haven't seen a single soul beast you mentioned, but I have met a bunch of other ten thousand year soul beasts...
If Xiaogang was here, he would definitely be able to help us avoid these risks. "
Hearing what Liu Erlong said, the others in the team also fell silent.
Everyone's eyes wandered, and they couldn't help but recall the experiences of the past few days.
Soto City is not far from the Star Forest, and all members of the team are basically Soul Kings.
Therefore, in just two or three days, they arrived in the Star Forest.
During the rest of the time, they continued to explore the Star Forest under the leadership of Kelin.
It was okay at the beginning. The soul beasts they encountered were only a hundred thousand years old, so they could easily deal with them, and the atmosphere in the team was quite relaxed.
But as they went deeper, the soul beasts they encountered became stronger and stronger.
In the past few days, the soul beasts encountered were generally those with a cultivation level of 70,000 to 80,000 years.
Facing these soul beasts, they could only hide in panic.
Fortunately, Flanders's martial spirit, the Four-Eyed Cat Eagle, is one of the few martial arts that can give a soul master the ability to fly. It also greatly enhances the soul master's vision.
By squeezing Flanders, let him investigate the surrounding situation day and night.
Qin Ming and his party avoided many dangers without any danger.
Thinking of the thrilling experiences of the past few days, several people at Shrek Academy felt that this soul hunting operation was simply a loss of blood.
Especially Flanders, who has the attributes of a profiteer and has contributed the most, is even more heartbroken and can hardly breathe...
Seeing the performance of everyone, Qin Ming also had a headache.
Glancing at Liu Erlong beside him who was eager to speak, Qin Ming knew he had to stand up and say something.
When they gathered half a month ago, Qin Ming wanted to get rid of Liu Erlong, a 'factor that was not conducive to unity'.
But he didn't expect Liu Erlong to be so thick-skinned.
In other words, Liu Erlong would be so persistent when it came to Yu Xiaogang.
He was a normal person at first, but when he mentioned Yu Xiaogang, he turned into a crazy woman.
When communicating with other people in the team these days, I can't say more than three sentences without mentioning Yu Xiaogang.
I don’t know how Flanders felt when he heard this...
Thinking of this, Qin Ming sighed helplessly in his heart.
‘I’ve been pushing against Liu Erlong like that, but she still insists on following me.
This Yu Xiaogang is really damned...
All the teammates I met here were some incredible teammates.
Without me here, this team would have to disperse today! ’
After shaking his head, Qin Ming walked out from behind Kelin.
"Ahem——"
Qin Ming cleared his throat, attracted everyone's attention, and then slowly spoke.
"Dean Flanders, the difficulty of this soul hunting operation is indeed beyond the imagination of Bishop Kelin and I."
With that said, Qin Ming took out a golden soul coin card from his pocket and handed it to Flanders.
"Dean Flanders, your college is currently in the construction stage.
It should cost a lot to build supporting facilities for the college.
I still have eight thousand gold soul coins in this card.
The money is not a lot, but this is something Bishop Kelin and I have in mind.
Hope you can accept it. "
Hearing this, Flanders's eyes lit up, and the previous unhappiness was swept away. "Why is this so embarrassing?
This operation actually went smoothly, Qin Ming, you don’t have to be like this..."
Although he was refusing, Flanders' hands had already grasped the card handed by Qin Ming tightly at some point.
Seeing this situation, the stone in Qin Ming's heart also fell.
‘As long as Frand is willing to accept the money, everything will be easy. ’
Thinking of this, Qin Ming let go of his hand and pushed the golden soul coin card towards Flanders.
"Take it, Dean Flanders."
After the two sides argued again, Flanders reluctantly put away the card handed by Qin Ming.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the other members of Shrek also looked better, and the atmosphere in the team was no longer as strange as before.
Seeing that everything was developing in a good direction, Liu Erlong spoke again.
"Boss Fu!
The guy from the Wuhun Hall knows shit about Wuhun theory. He has been taking us around the forest for almost half a month.
There was no trace of the three-headed red devil dog.
If Xiaogang was here, we could find that so-and-so dog in one day..."
Noticing that Liu Erlong wanted to continue speaking, Qin Ming hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt her 'casting'.
"Senior Liu Erlong, please rest assured.
Regarding the location of the three-headed red devil dog, Bishop Kelin had already made an inference when he deeply explored the Star Dou Forest.
Bishop Kelin roughly marked three places where such spirit beasts may exist, and now we have explored two of them.
Where we are now is less than a day away from the last location.
After exploring the last location, we still found no trace of the three red devil dogs.
Then we will exit the Star Dou Forest directly.
This operation also came to an end.
Of course, regarding the Shrek Academy procedures, I will also ask Bishop Kelin to help you complete them as soon as possible. "
With that said, Qin Ming turned to look at Zhao Wuji.
After getting along with each other for the past few days, Qin Ming knew it clearly.
When Flanders faced Liu Erlong, he seemed like a different person. His trait of profiteer disappeared immediately, and his whole person became cowardly and cowardly.
But Zhao Wuji is different. Zhao Wuji looks rough, but in fact he is a good person and can cooperate with him.
What's more important is that Zhao Wuji will not coddle Liu Erlong at all.
Moreover, Zhao Wuji's prestige in Shrek Academy is no lower than that of Flanders.
With him here, Liu Erlong's problem can be solved.
At this time, Zhao Wuji felt helpless when he noticed Qin Ming's expectant eyes.
After patting Flender on the shoulder, Zao Wuji stepped forward and said.
"Liu Erlong, the rest of us at Shrek don't want to get involved in the matter between you and the dean.
Likewise, you should say less about the actions between Shrek and Wuhun Palace. "
Before Liu Erlong could speak, Kelin also came over.
Kelin first took out a golden soul coin card from his pocket and handed it to Qin Ming, and then said quietly.
"Qin Ming, this Gold Soul Coin card also contains 10,000 Gold Soul Coins, please keep it.
This action was my fault and has nothing to do with you.
It’s not your responsibility to pay for this. "
With that said, Kelin, who once again paid a large sum of gold soul coins, withdrew his gaze.
Kelin didn't dare to look at the golden soul coin in Qin Ming's hand, for fear that he would regret it...
After briefly adjusting his emotions, Kelin looked at Flanders again and said.
“Dean Flanders, it’s my problem that this soul hunting operation has encountered so many risks.
But don't worry, no matter whether our soul hunting operation can end successfully or not.
I will definitely do what I promise you. "
Seeing that Kelin had said this, Flanders couldn't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
After sighing helplessly, Fran pulled Liu Erlong who still wanted to speak.
"Er Longmei, how about I ask Old Zhao to see you off and you go back to the academy to rest first?"
"Flanders, you..."
Liu Erlong stared at Flanders. She couldn't believe that Flanders would actually talk to her like this.
At this time, Liu Erlong's eyes were about to burst into flames, but she still held back.
After casting a glance at Qin Ming, Liu Erlong said coldly.
"Go wherever you go, I will help that kid hunt for souls.
I just want to see if your Wuhundian theory is bullshit.
It's okay if you can't find the three-headed red devil dog later.
All I have to do is help this kid catch a high-quality fire attribute soul beast with two to three thousand years of cultivation..."
With that said, Liu Erlong walked up to Kelin, and she bent down and stayed less than a foot in front of Qin Ming.
Liu Erlong stared into Qin Ming's eyes and said through gritted teeth.
“Kid, it’s okay if you don’t dare to absorb a soul ring that exceeds the limit later.
However, you have to apologize for those words you said before that slandered Xiaogang! "
Hearing this, Qin Ming ignored the car lights that were about to hit his face and responded as if nothing was wrong.
"As it should be."
