Chapter 40 Talking about trouble
After Wang Nan returned home from the Duke's Mansion, he embarked on the road to the Star Dou Forest without making any further stops.
Although the vacation lasts for a whole month, the sooner you start, the better.
"Nan'er, let's rest here for a while. The outer area is ahead, and there will be more and more soul beasts."
"I know, Dad." Although Wang Nan's soul power was not consumed much, he still stopped and prepared to rest.
Wang Xing looked at Wang Nan, who was almost as tall as himself, and suddenly laughed, "Forget it, let's go in directly."
"You have grown up too fast in the past few years, and dad still treats you as a child. Maybe when you come back next year or the year after, you will have surpassed dad and me."
"At that time, it will be my turn to help you obtain the soul ring." Wang Nan picked up the stick and pushed a tree snake aside.
"What are you thinking about, you brat? Dad, my innate soul power is only level four. I am satisfied with my current level of cultivation. How can I have another chance to obtain a soul ring?"
"Didn't the pills I sent you back a few times work?"
"Dad's talent is limited, even if he uses it, it will have no effect."
"Let's try it first to see if it's useful. I won't be able to use it anyway. If I break through level 60, I can rely on you to get the next soul ring."
"I'm afraid that before that time comes, my father will have already become a burden to you."
Wang Xing and Wang Nan were talking while driving away the approaching low-level soul beasts, and soon approached the mixed zone.
"The next mixed zone is much more dangerous, so be prepared."
After hearing Wang Xing's instructions, Wang Nan reached out and checked what he was wearing. Several defensive soul tools have been put on, the healing medicine is placed in the most convenient place, and the invincible shield that Wang Xing gave him is also placed on his chest.
Although his current soul power to activate the fifth-level soul guide still cannot fully exert its power, it can still play a protective role to some extent.
"I'm ready."
Wang Xing nodded and led Wang Nan into the mixed zone.
Facts have proved that Wang Nan does not have good luck every time.
It takes a long time for other soul masters to obtain soul rings. Not only do they have to meet soul beasts with suitable attributes and age, but they also have to consider the soul skills they can obtain.
But he has never worried about these things since his first soul ring. The first and second soul rings were both chosen by his father Wang Xing in advance, and the third soul ring was delivered to his door by himself.
But now, getting the fourth soul ring is finally not that smooth.
Wang Xing and Wang Nan, father and son, searched for five days in the mixed area, but still could not find a suitable soul beast.
…
In the early morning, on the south side outside the Star Forest, Wang Nan woke up from meditation.
"Nan'er, don't be anxious. It takes ten and a half months for a soul master to obtain a soul ring. This is only the sixth day. Don't you see that the people around you are all the same as us?"
Wang Nan looked around and saw that there were many people like them packing their tents and preparing to enter the Star Forest again. Not everyone has the strength to spend the night in the big forest. Almost most soul masters will choose to leave the scope of the Star Dou Forest at night and wait to re-enter during the day the next day.
"I know dad." Wang Nan was actually not in a hurry. In fact, he came here just after returning home and didn't have time to rest, and he was already mentally prepared to spend a month.
The two of them had finished packing and were about to set off when a crisp voice suddenly came from behind them.
"You two, please stay."
Wang Nan turned around and saw a girl standing not far behind the two of them.
The girl was wearing a light golden dress, with a fringed ribbon around her waist, and her blond hair was lightly tied up. The face is covered with a veil, and the appearance cannot be seen clearly, and a golden vertical line between the eyebrows is particularly conspicuous.
Wang Xing took a look at the girl in front of him, and when he saw her appearing alone outside the Star Forest, he frowned slightly and calmly took a step forward to protect Wang Nan behind him.
"Excuse me, girl, what's wrong?"
"I'm also here to get the soul ring, and I want to go with you."
"This..." Wang Xing thought for a while.
There are many dangers in the Star Dou Forest, and it is normal for the soul masters who come here to travel together. And the girl in front of her came here alone. Although it was strange, she didn't seem to have any malicious intentions.
She was able to appear quietly behind them just now. If she really wanted to cause harm, she could just follow them into the Star Dou Forest and take action directly, so there was no need to speak.
"It doesn't matter if we travel together, we will take care of each other. I just don't know what kind of soul ring the girl needs?"
"Thank you both." The girl bowed slightly, then looked at Wang Nan, "What I want to obtain is the fourth soul ring, the best in six thousand years. I wonder what kind of soul ring you need?"
Wang Xing and Wang Nan looked at each other, "What a coincidence, we are also here for the fourth soul ring."
Although the girl wore a veil that covered most of her appearance, you could still see her eyes narrowing slightly and showing a smile.
"Excuse me, what is the girl's name? Where does she live? Why did she come to this dangerous Star Dou Forest alone?" On the way, Wang Xing separated Wang Nan from the girl and asked seemingly casually as he hurried on.
"My family... lives near the Star Dou Forest. There is a beautiful lake next to it." The girl thought for a while and continued, "Actually, I am not alone. The elders in the family are nearby, and he has been watching from the dark. Me. If you are in danger, maybe he will help."
Although what the girl said sounded untrue, it was very reasonable. Because of the secret protection of such elders, it is often seen in Shrek Academy that soul masters obtain soul rings by themselves. It’s just that no one would say it as honestly as she could.
"As for the name..." The girl was silent for a long time, and even her eyes dimmed, "Call me bad words."
Talking about trouble?
Wang Nan glanced doubtfully, who was a good person with such a name? Names like Qubing and Qiji throw away bad things, but they are not directly put into the name like hers. I guess it's just a pseudonym.
Entering the mixed zone again, Wang Nan and the other three took a different direction from the previous few days. It seemed that luck had come, and not long after walking, I saw a tall figure.
He is about tens of meters tall and has a huge body. His whole body is covered with thick gray-black scales, each piece showing an irregular shape. His huge head occupies almost a quarter of the entire body.
The spirit beast in front of him is none other than Tyrannosaurus Rex, the king of the sub-dragon species that can rival giant dragons. Even an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast may not be stronger than a Tyrannosaurus rex that has been cultivated for ten thousand years. Moreover, because the blood of the Golden Dragon King flows in its body, the Tyrannosaurus rex is also called the King of Earth Dragons.
Wang Nan had seen this kind of soul beast in history books.
