Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 27: The Golden Toad and the Ten Thousand Years of Whale Rubber

Early the next morning.

Lin Dong and his group followed City Lord Mo to a steep cliff. Looking at the rushing sea water below, Jing Hongchen said calmly, "Let's do it."

The Lord of Mo City took out a black metal box from his arms and threw it into the sea. When the box fell into the water, it actually emitted circles of ripples.

"This is a soul guide developed by our Sun and Moon. It can attract the soul beasts we need in the sea water."

Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Dong, who was in shock, and explained patiently.

Lin Dong nodded and looked at the water quietly. After waiting for about ten minutes, a dazzling golden light appeared and a hint of joy flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes:
Here it comes! It is your honor to be the fifth soul ring of this genius.

Lin Dong looked in the direction of the golden light and saw a toad with a golden body pounced towards the soul guide device, pressing the soul guide device under its body and squirming up and down.

Meng Hongchen blushed when she saw this, and covered her eyes and said, "What kind of soul guide is this, Grandpa? It's so indecent!"

Jing Hongchen coughed dryly, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is science, science! This soul guide releases the mating signals of the opposite sex to attract soul beasts. Otherwise, your brother's soul ring would not be so easy to obtain."

After the golden toad twitched for a while, it seemed to be in a very happy mood. Jing Hongchen waved his hand, and the soul ring under his feet lit up, and he caught the golden toad.

It must be because he had just been released and he had no time to resist before being thrown in front of everyone by Jing Hongchen.

Lin Dong looked at the golden-bound spirit toad lying on its back in the air in front of him. This creature was a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast after all, but it was caught by Jing Hongchen so easily.

This may be due to Jing Hongchen's powerful strength, but the soul guide also played a role. This thing is simply too unfriendly to male soul beasts.

Jing Hongchen attacked the Golden Bound Toad, and the latter was severely injured without any resistance. What surprised Lin Dong was that the blood flowing from the toad was also golden.

After Xiao Hongchen made the final attack, the latter began to pull the black soul ring and absorb it into his body.

When he had finished absorbing it and everyone was about to leave, Jing Hongchen turned around and looked at Lin Dong and said with a smile:

"How about it, am I reliable? I will definitely help you find the most suitable one for your level 20 spirit ring."

A trace of pain flashed across Lin Dong’s eyes, and he shook his head towards Jing Hongchen and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, Dean, but I do have my own plans."

Seeing that he was determined to do so, Jing Hongchen could only nod helplessly. Little did he know that Lin Dong was roaring at Tian Meng in his spiritual sea at this moment:

"You're a worthless scum, you'd better be able to help me find a spirit ring that's close to ten thousand years old, otherwise you're dead!"

After he saw Xiao Hongchen obtain the ten thousand year soul ring so easily, he naturally felt uneasy. If he were asked to deal with a ten thousand year soul beast, it would probably not be that easy.

But considering Tianmeng, he once again rejected Jing Hongchen. This was an opportunity to obtain a ten thousand year soul ring with zero risk.

"Hehe, don't worry, brother can't hurt you." Tian Meng saw his distressed look and replied with a sullen smile.

"You better be."

Lord Mo looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but be shocked. This young man actually rejected the Lord of Hongchen Hall three times in a row. How terrifying must his background be? !
Suppressing the shock in my heart, I caught up with the two people who were talking and said tentatively:

"Master Hongchen, my servant just brought me news that a batch of whale glue was salvaged from Sun Moon Harbor. What do you think?"

"What year?"

“It should be around a thousand years.” Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Dong and said with a smile: “Are you interested, little guy?”

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen looked at each other with some disapproval when they saw their grandfather asking Lin Dong first instead of asking them, but did not say anything directly.

Lin Dong didn’t seem to expect Jing Hongchen to ask him first, and asked with a smile:

"I wonder if the dean could explain what this whale glue is and what its function is?"

Jing Hongchen smiled and nodded, explaining patiently:

"Whale glue is a special substance produced in the brain of whales, a type of soul beast. It can enhance the endurance of a soul master's muscles, bones, and meridians."

Lin Dong nodded after hearing this, then turned to Lord Mo and said:
"I am somewhat interested in this thing. I wonder if Lord Mo can send someone to take me to have a look?"

"I won't bother you to go and have a look. I'll have someone send all the whale glue here for you to choose from."

Looking at City Lord Mo's sincere eyes, Lin Dong nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, City Lord."

Seeing that his show of goodwill had worked, Lord Mo smiled even more and shook his head: "You are too polite."

The group returned to the City Lord's Mansion. City Lord Mo gave an order and two servants came out carrying a large box.

Looking at the box full of golden crystals, Xiao Hongchen and his sister couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Lin Dong also felt the rich energy fluctuations on it and exclaimed in his heart: What a good stuff!
"Lin Dong, pick one first."

Hearing Jing Hongchen's indifferent voice, Lin Dong was stunned at first, then he looked at him and bowed:

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

After saying that, he stepped forward and looked through the whale glue. The vibrations emanating from the golden crystals lifted Lin Dong's spirits.

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a different crystal. The whale jelly looked as if it had gone bad, like it was black from decay.

"This is a good thing, Lin Dong, just take this."

Tian Meng's voice rang out in the sea of ​​​​spirituality. He already had a premonition, and Tian Meng's words finally made him make up his mind. He picked up the unremarkable whale glue and smiled at Jing Hongchen:
"Dean, I'll choose this one."

Jing Hongchen looked at the dark whale glue and said in a daze:
"Are you sure? I asked you to pick first for a reason. No matter how you look at it, the one with the most golden glow, the five thousand year old whale glue, is of the best quality, right?"

There was also a hint of astonishment in the eyes of Lord Mo. Are the tastes of princes so unique?
A hint of joy flashed across Xiao Hongchen's eyes, and he thought to himself:

This guy, he wouldn’t intentionally give the good stuff to me... No matter what, the good stuff belongs to this genius!
Then he looked at Jing Hongchen and said, "Grandpa, they have already made their choice. It would be too biased if you interfere."

Jing Hongchen glanced at him and said calmly:
“Didn’t you two enjoy enough natural treasures when you were little? I think we should give this whale glue to Lin Dong. He has a higher requirement for physical strength. Grandpa will find another resource for you.”

"No need, Dean. This piece is enough for me."

Seeing that Lin Dong had said so, Jing Hongchen said nothing more and nodded helplessly: “Forget it, you can distribute it among yourselves.”

A smile appeared on Xiao Hongchen's face. He put the whale glue with the best color into the storage soul guide and smiled at Lin Dong.

Looking at the kind look he gave him, Lin Dong was a little stunned. Could this guy think that I was deliberately giving in to him?
After taking a piece of whale glue, Meng Hongchen glanced at Lin Dong with a puzzled look. She didn't believe that this guy, whose eyes lit up at the sight of resources, could be so naive.
