Douluo Continent: Pioneers of the Era, Gods in Parallel

Chapter 27 Gathering Supplies

On the overseas continent, Zhou Yuan and his companions left the cave and returned to their tribe.

They immediately investigated any potential dangers within the tribe, established defenses at the entrance to the valley, and collected any remaining supplies from the tribe.

He then chose a place to stay and settled down.

This whole ordeal took seven or eight days.

He had been living in the cave for several months now, and this was the first time he had taken a long, hot bath and had a good night's sleep.

Where were these conditions available before?

Survival was a struggle; there were no rules or considerations for them. They were nothing more than wild men.

When I woke up, I felt refreshed and full of energy.

Zhou Yuan gathered everyone together again.

"Right now, we don't need to worry about supplies. The tribe's remaining food and resources are enough for the five of us to use for a year. So, we only have two things to do next. First, we need to build barriers at the entrance of the valley to prevent any spirit beasts from breaking in."

"As for the second thing, it is to work hard in my cultivation."

"Shi Hao, I'm only giving you one month. Within this month, no matter what method you use, you must break through to level 10 without damaging your foundation."

"Caiwei, you're in the same boat, but the restriction you're given is to break through to level 10 within three months."

"Right now, the most important thing for the two of you is to increase your soul power, so you don't need to get involved in creating obstacles."

Do either of you have any objections?

As Zhou Yuan spoke in a deep voice, he looked at the two of them, saying that he was asking for their opinions, but his tone was full of unquestionable certainty.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be able to break through within a month."

Shi Hao immediately expressed his determination.

Whether or not you have a spirit ring makes a world of difference.

He didn't want to be a burden forever.

"I can do it too!"

Jiang Caiwei also gave her answer. Although her voice was not as loud as Shi Hao's, her eyes were full of determination.

"As for you guys, are you confident you can reach level 20 within a year and a half?"

"Of course, I also set a goal for myself, which is to become a second-ring Soul Master within a year."

Zhou Yuan then looked at Man Qian and Zhou Yan Yan.

They heard that they had to break through to level 20 within a year and a half, and were just about to say they couldn't do it, when they heard the standard Zhou Yuan had set for himself. How could they say they couldn't do it at this point?

No matter how difficult it is, we must do it.

"Alright, our task this morning will still be to search for resources in the tribe. You can arrange the rest of the time as you see fit."

Seeing that everyone obeyed his orders, Zhou Yuan smiled and then spoke again.

Now that he's back in the tribe, he needs to find a way to soften that ancient whale glue.

This requires the use of tools.

In addition, Zhou Yuan also wants to obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue again.

It's not just something I need; everyone else needs it too.

Of course, Zhou Yuan knew very well that with their strength, they were simply no match for a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

However, that doesn't mean there's no chance.

When he was roughly collecting supplies earlier, he discovered that there was a lot of saltpeter in the tribe.

With this thing, you can try making gunpowder by hand.

Then, pile up as much gunpowder as possible and blast a bunch of fish.

Maybe then you'll have a chance to get what you want.

It would be even better if we could obtain one or two ten-thousand-year-old soul bones.

But that's a story for later. Right now, what he needs to do is gather all the remaining resources in the tribe together.

Previously, they had only searched the tribe's storerooms; now, they needed to search the various caves.

In Zhou Yuan's view, this is the place where gold might be produced.

Even in the primitive era, even in the tribal era, even if distribution is based on labor, there will always be people with selfish motives.

Perhaps there are good things hidden in their caves.

The group then began exploring cave after cave.

Everyone has selfish desires, and Zhou Yuan is no exception.

Therefore, he did not assign them specific collection areas, but simply divided them up.

Therefore, the area where he was located was the dwelling place of some of the more powerful spirit beasts in the tribe.

I must say, it feels pretty good, like unpacking a treasure chest.

Each cave yields different rewards, some more, some less.

What Zhou Yuan found particularly intriguing was why there were so many damaged soul tools in the tribe.

Some are still usable, while the patterns on others have been completely worn away.

The presence of so many soul tools that don't belong to this era in a tribe from a barbaric age creates a very strong sense of incongruity.

Zhou Yuan naturally knew that the inheritance of soul tools was interrupted.

The development of soul tools was also based on archaeology, and then further developed, which is full of unsolved mysteries.

Zhou Yuan strongly suspected that this was related to the Dragon God.

Perhaps it was the Dragon Clan who destroyed the legacy of the Soul Tool.

Zhou Yuan didn't want to delve into these matters.

He only had some guesses, wondering if there might be an ancient ruin near the tribe.

If we can find it, there might be something that can help them.

Zhou Yuan knew far too little about many things in this era.

Aside from his understanding of the original work, the only other thing he knew was what he had learned in the tribe, but the knowledge he had in the tribe was really limited.

Moreover, he actually had the idea of ​​developing soul tools.

But that's a story for later. Right now, for him, simply staying alive is an incredibly difficult thing.

Given the current situation, improving our strength should be the priority.

"This is----"

Upon arriving at a cave, they continued their routine search and soon discovered something that surprised them.

A storage soul tool.

This is really good stuff!

Not only is it useful to them, but it might also contain some rare and valuable items.

With excitement in his heart, Zhou Yuan opened the storage soul tool, and the items inside immediately appeared in his mind.

What a surprise! It was truly a wonderful surprise.

There was actually a soul bone inside.

It's just that the age of this soul bone seems a bit off.

Although there was no fusion, and Zhou Yuan couldn't sense the exact age of the soul bone, he could still tell at a glance whether it was a good thing or not.

At most, it's just a piece of ancient bone.

To be honest, deep down, Zhou Yuan still harbors his own arrogance.

He really didn't care about a thousand-year-old soul bone.

After all, he was a time traveler.

He wouldn't easily fuse with this soul bone unless he was in a desperate situation.

At the moment, his mind was mostly focused on a book in his storage soul tool.
