Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 58 Passing Through
There should still be people living in the town, but with this group of bandits here, I guess there aren't many people left in the town.

Tieli placed the bodies of the bandits outside the hotel one by one, and led the horned horse to rest in the hotel for one night.

"Are there only thirty-one gold soul coins in total?"

Tieli only found thirty-one gold soul coins from them.

The gold belt for murder and arson.

He is a bandit, but he only has this little money on him. It is really an insult to the profession of banditry.

Before dawn the next day, Tieli mounted his horned horse and set off again.

It took Tieli two full days of travel to reach the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

This time they came to the Star Dou Great Forest not to hunt soul beasts, but to take advantage of the geographical advantages of the Star Dou Great Forest and cross the border between the two countries from the outside.

As long as he didn't go too deep, with his strength as a three-ring soul master, protecting himself wouldn't be a problem.

Since entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Tieli has been on high alert at all times.

During this period, there would be occasional harassment from ten-year soul beasts, but it was not a big problem.

It can be used as food for the horned horse!

The frequent appearance of ten-year soul beasts means that you are always in the most marginal area, which is actually a signal of safety.

"call out"

Another ten-year-old soul beast tried to sneak attack Tieli from the dark.

It is a ten-year-old armored rat. Under its black fur is a thin layer of shell. The defense of an armored rat that has cultivated for ten years is not high. After a hundred years, the shell will undergo a qualitative change.

However, its attack, defense and speed are all excellent.

Tieli dodged its sneak attack and slapped its thin body with his right palm. It hit the stone on the ground and dark red blood gushed out from its mouth and shell.

He was about to die on the spot.

"Can you...can you give it to me?"

A young boy ran out from the bushes nearby. He looked to be only about nine years old. He was wearing a rough cloth full of patches and holding a dagger in both hands.

Attempting to hunt down ten-year soul beasts in the outermost reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest was a must for almost every low-level soul master, as it was their only way to obtain soul rings.

The Empire's Soul Hunting Forest is more of a convenience for the nobles, and it is difficult for common people to have the opportunity to enter the Soul Hunting Forest.

"If you want it, take it."

"Thank you."

The young man's face was filled with excitement. This ten-year spirit ring would allow him to become a spirit master. The monthly spirit master allowance would improve his family's life and allow him to have meat for every meal.

With trembling hands, he held the dagger and stabbed it into the armored rat's head. A white soul ring appeared in front of him.

The young man quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the soul ring.

Tieli was in no hurry to leave. He waited there for the boy to absorb the spirit ring. He could see his former self's projection in him, or rather the projection of all civilian spirit masters.

The moment he successfully absorbed the spirit ring, he became a true spirit master.

"Thank you." The young man thanked respectfully again.

Tieli nodded, rode his horned horse and left first. He still had a long way to go.

After several days of journey in the Star Dou Great Forest, a trace of fatigue appeared on Tieli's face.

"If you Soul Hunters don't keep your promise, aren't you afraid of our master's revenge?"

Tieli heard a familiar voice, and his figure immediately appeared in his mind. It was Butler Liu who had saved him. "Hahaha, your master is just a local noble. We killed you, robbed your money, and hid incognito. How could your master find us?"

"My uncle is a general of the Tiandou Empire. He will avenge us."

It was a clear and pleasant voice, which Tieli always remembered; perhaps it was because of her request that Butler Liu was willing to save him.

Tieli approached cautiously, trying to restrain his own breath.

A group of soul hunters surrounded Butler Liu and the noble lady. All the servants around them were killed by the soul hunters, leaving only the two of them.

There are nine people in the Soul Hunting Group. The leader of the Soul Hunting Group looks fierce but is short in stature. He holds a scimitar in his hand and has lustful eyes. He has been lingering on the noble lady.

These nine people are all soul masters. As a soul hunting group, they were hired by the nobles to come to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings for the noble ladies. They may have been motivated by money and planned to kill and rob people for their money.

Tieli took out a tungsten bow from his storage ring. This was a gift from his master before he left.

A long arrow was placed on a tungsten bow. The arrowhead was made of refined iron and the arrow handle was made of ordinary wood.

As Tieli pulled the bowstring, soul power surged into the gauntlets of his arms, and arcs of electricity condensed into arrows.

"call out"

The sound of the arrow breaking through the air, carrying the additional damage of electric current, was so fast that it was definitely not something an ordinary second-ring soul master could react to.

The short man suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of suffocation and immediately summoned his martial soul and spirit ring.

One white and two yellow, he is also a three-ringed soul master. The exposed skin is covered with a layer of short gray-brown hair, making his already thin body even more wretched, and his mouth full of teeth has become sharp and ugly.

Like a flash of lightning, an arrow flew past and headed straight for his forehead.

His second soul ring lit up and he suddenly drilled into the ground, thus avoiding the arrow.

"shhhhhh"

Several more arrows followed closely, and he was able to avoid them. Do the other members of the Soul Hunting Group have the same ability?
Tieli fired nine shots in succession, one for each member of the Soul Hunting Group.

Except for the short man, two second-ring soul masters barely avoided the attack, and the remaining six were all hit in the vitals by arrows. Three of them died on the spot and three were seriously injured.

"You villain who attacked me from behind, go to hell."

The short man who had escaped underground found Tieli's location based on the source of the sound, broke out of the ground under Tieli, and used his long claws to try to severely injure Tieli as he broke through the ground.

Tieli, who had noticed the unusual movement underground in advance, had already taken precautions. The moment he broke through the ground, he jumped up.

Two yellow and one purple, three soul rings emerged, and the right arm was filled with violent lightning.

"what?"

The short man was startled, and Tieli suddenly fell above him, and the forging hammer filled with lightning smashed towards his face.

Sensing danger, he wanted to drill back underground again, but Tieli would not give him this chance.

The forging hammer spirit suddenly flew out of his hand, and the speed it instantly burst out was three times faster than an arrow.

The short man felt something was wrong and released his third soul ring. A layer of gray-brown luster formed a protective shield that protected him.

"boom"

After just one encounter, a large number of cracks appeared on the protective shield, and the next second, it turned into debris all over the sky. The forging hammer hit his chest with undiminished momentum.

"boom"

"Pfft"

The short man who was knocked to the ground spat out large mouthfuls of blood mixed with broken organs.
