Douluo Reborn: The Silver Dragon Returns, but Regrets End

Chapter 189: The Forest Again
Lin Xiuran and Gu Yue set out on their mission. Along the way, they were silent except for a few words during basic work exchanges, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Finally, Gu Yue could no longer hold back and was the first to break the oppressive silence: "Lin Xiuran, what is the relationship between the Beast King Palace and you?"

Lin Xiuran just glanced at her and replied coldly, "No comment."

Gu Yue knew that his question was presumptuous, but he didn't care. He just calmed down and thought about it.

Di Tian had tried to contact the Beast King Palace many times, but the results were not very good. There was almost no progress.

For humans, such an organization can be described as mysterious, but for soul beasts, it is already a legend.

The cohesion of an organization of soul beasts that has developed to this point is unimaginable. Even though Emperor Tian is the God of Beasts, he can only launch a beast tide for a short period of time, and this is also because he faces the unified enemy of humans.

But he couldn't really unite them, it was too difficult. The conflicts between the soul beast races were also very sharp.

Moreover, even the soul beasts are well aware of the power of the Beast King Palace, so Di Tian really wants to contact this possible ally.

This is also the reason why Gu Yue asked about it when he learned that Lin Xiuran had a close relationship with the Beast King Palace.

In fact, on this mission, it wasn't just Lin Xiuran who didn't want to go with Gu Yue, Gu Yue also didn't want to go with him.

After all, what the man in front of her had done was enough to make her want to cut him into pieces.

But as time went by, perhaps influenced by Na'er, Gu Yue no longer had such great hatred towards Lin Xiuran.

Although it is impossible to let it go, at least he would not be so careless as he was a few years ago and let Di Tian kill Lin Xiu Ran.

The two of them made rapid progress, which might be because they both wanted to complete the task as soon as possible.

The inspection started from Tiandou City and continued to Notting City. This small historical city is one of the cities closest to Shrek City.

Lin Xiuran had been here before and had once dealt with an evil soul master here, so he naturally knew where the industry was here.

It just so happened that after these few years, he also wanted to take a look at the development of the avian soul beasts here and see if they had recovered a little.

Lin Xiuran brought Gu Yue to the industry department of the Spirit Transmission Tower, which was the forest there before.

As soon as I entered the door, the person in charge came up to me with a big smile on his face: "My two lords, thank you for your hard work on the journey."

But when the person in charge saw Lin Xiuran's appearance clearly, he was suddenly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

There was no doubt that the person in front of him was Wang Meng from a few years ago. It was he who opened the door for Lin Xiuran a few years ago.

Lin Xiuran naturally noticed the strangeness of the person in front of him, but he didn't say anything immediately. He just nodded and said, "Let's start the investigation directly."

Gu Yue was not vague and immediately started to check the relevant accounts and information.

After checking, Gu Yue's face looked a little ugly: "The situation here is not optimistic. The number of avian soul beasts is growing slowly, and the quality is not satisfactory."

Lin Xiuran frowned and looked at Wang Meng: "What's going on?"

Wang Meng said hurriedly: "You also know that the flying soul beasts in the forest were severely damaged in the past few years. We have carefully cultivated them in the past few years. Now it is only in the initial stage, so the data is not very good." Gu Yue was obviously still a little confused. Just as he was about to ask more questions, he was interrupted by Lin Xiuran: "Okay, I won't look at the paper data. We will know after we go to the actual inspection."

Even though Wang Meng was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree, "Okay, sir. I'll go open the door."

Wang Meng could only take Lin Xiuran and Gu Yue into the depths of the forest. This place used to be the habitat of bird-like soul beasts, but now it seems a bit desolate.

Lin Xiuran had sharp eyes, carefully observing the surrounding environment, not missing any details. Gu Yue followed beside him, with a serious look, holding a notebook in his hand, ready to record important discoveries at any time.

"The ecology of this place is recovering very slowly," said Lin Xiuran, his voice particularly clear in the silent forest.

Wang Meng explained carefully: "Sir, we have tried our best, but it takes time for this soul beast to reproduce and grow."

Gu Yue said coldly: "It's not enough to just talk, have you taken any concrete measures to speed up recovery?"

Wang Meng quickly replied: "We have increased the food supply and arranged special guards to prevent poaching. Not only that, we have also introduced some vegetation suitable for the growth of soul beasts, and strive to improve their living environment."

"It's nice to hear some polite words."

Wang Meng was at a loss and didn't know what to say, so he could only keep silent.

Gu Yue's attitude was still very cold. It seemed that she was in a bad mood because of the withering of the avian soul beasts here.

Lin Xiuran snorted coldly: "But the effect doesn't seem to be ideal."

Just then, a breeze blew by, and Lin Xiuran suddenly noticed something strange. He raised his hand to signal everyone to stop and listen attentively, as if trying to capture the subtle information in the wind.

"Wait, the aura here is not right." Lin Xiuran stopped and walked in one direction.

Gu Yue and Wang Meng followed closely behind, only to see some strange traces appearing in front of them. The fallen leaves on the ground showed signs of being deliberately turned over, and the branches next to them also had new signs of being broken.

"This looks like a sign that someone has been here." Gu Yue said, she squatted down and gently touched the traces with her fingers.

Lin Xiuran squatted down and took a closer look, frowning, "It's not just people, it might also be related to the abnormality of the soul beast. These traces look very new, they should have been left not long ago."

Wang Meng's face changed drastically: "Sir, this... this I really don't know."

Lin Xiuran stood up and looked at Wang Meng with cold eyes: "It's better this way. If I find out that you are hiding something, you know the consequences."

Wang Meng nodded repeatedly, sweating profusely.

At this moment, a bird chirped in the sky. Lin Xiuran looked up and saw a rare flying soul beast circling in the air. The eyes of the flying soul beast revealed a hint of vigilance and uneasiness.

Gu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "It seems to be conveying some information to us."

Lin Xiuran also looked over and suddenly discovered that it looked like the surviving soul beast he rescued a few years ago.

Lin Xiuran was not sure whether it was the same one, but there was no doubt that the little bird soul beast in front of him was conveying information to them.
