Douluo Continent: Contract Goddess, Transforming the Mecha Girl World!

Chapter 61 Deep into the Great Forest, You Think You're Qualified to Save a Beauty?

After a final stretch of travel, Chen Shi and his companions finally arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Towering trees rose from the ground, blocking out the sky and acting as a city wall to protect the territory of the soul beasts!

This was also Chen Shi's first time visiting such a place, and the wonders of nature were truly awe-inspiring!

Instead of rushing into the forest, the group rested on the spot while listening to Zhao Wuji's warnings and instructions.

Unlike his usual image of being all brawn and no brains, Zhao Wuji's expression was unusually serious this time: "Little monsters, listen up!"

"The wild soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are all extremely dangerous. Once you enter, remember, you must never leave my sight by more than twenty meters!"

"Ning Rongrong, Oscar, you two support-type Soul Masters need to stick close to me. No one else is allowed to attack Soul Beasts without my permission, understand?"

Zhao Wuji's loud shout drew everyone's attention, and everyone nodded in response, "Understood!"

Fully prepared, the nine people changed formation and advanced. Zhao Wuji needed to ensure everyone's safety, so he naturally took charge of bringing up the rear. Chen Shi and Xiao Wu guarded the middle, providing close protection for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

The terrain within the Star Dou Great Forest is complex, so the task of clearing the way fell to Dai Mubai and Tang San.

Using one Purple Demon Eye as a telescope and the other wielding a tiger claw to cut through thorns and brambles, this can be considered making the best use of everything.

Although Chen Shi could handle both of their jobs by himself, since he could choose to protect the girl in the middle, who would want to do the dirty and tiring work of clearing the way?

Before encountering any real danger, Ning Rongrong was in high spirits, constantly looking around. Xiao Wu also felt very comfortable returning to her familiar surroundings. Both women were still in the mood to chat and laugh with Chen Shi.

Zhao Wuji's eyelids twitched violently upon seeing this. This didn't look like they were hunting soul beasts at all; one would think they were here for a vacation!

After traveling for about an hour, it was already noon.

Zhao Wuji once again announced that they should rest on the spot. On the way, they had only encountered some ten-year and hundred-year-old soul beasts. In order to save energy, they usually chose to bypass or drive them away.

However, if we go deeper, the age of the soul beasts will increase significantly, and the danger level will also increase greatly, so we must ensure that the students are in good condition.

Dai Mubai cleared a space, and everyone had just rested for a short while when Chen Shi and Zhao Wuji suddenly turned their heads and looked in the same direction!

"Get up quickly! A soul beast is approaching!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly stood up and released their martial spirits to enter a state of alert.

The rustling sound grew louder and louder as it approached from afar. Even Rongrong, a support Soul Master, could clearly sense the extraordinary speed of the unknown creature.

Cats are good climbers. At Zhao Wuji's signal, Zhu Zhuqing leaped up, her sharp claws extended, and she swiftly climbed a large tree as if walking on flat ground, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

Soon, the kitten came out and reported while looking around: "It's a flying snake with a red fleshy crest on its head and a big tail like a fan."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up: "It's a Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent! Oscar, you're in luck!"

"Zhu Zhuqing, keep an eye on its movements and report any changes immediately. We're going to surround it now!"

The girl remained calm as she carried out the mission: "Yes, it's flying this way at a fast speed, but it seems to be having some trouble maintaining its balance."

At this moment, Oscar was even more excited after hearing Tang San's introduction and assessment of the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.

Chen Shi stood behind Rongrong and Xiaowu, his arms around them. The safety of the two women was the most important thing. As for the Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake, that thing was like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

However, he glanced at the delicate figure in the treetop again, thought for a moment, and then entrusted Rongrong to Xiaowu, telling them to stay behind while he stepped forward.

The birds suppressed the snakes, and Ma Hongjun was about to charge when Zhu Zhuqing shouted again, "They're here!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the girl swooped down from the sky, completely disregarding the fact that her opponent was a thousand-year-old soul beast. Her sharp claws and the first soul ring on her body lit up at the same time, unleashing the Netherworld Thrust!

Just as Zhu Zhuqing described, the crested snake reacts extremely quickly. As soon as its bright red crest is locked on, the snake twists its body and instantly avoids the attack!

Zhu Zhuqing's attack failed, and before she could retreat, the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent launched a counterattack, its mouth wide open and spewing out a cloud of seven-colored mist that rushed towards her!

"Be careful!"

Dai Mubai screamed in fright. Even with his third soul skill, he couldn't catch up at all!

At the critical moment, Chen Shi teleported in and out, carrying Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body as they escaped the soul beast's attack area.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Zhu Zhuqing was rescued, but Dai Mubai collided head-on with the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, and both of them were sent flying backward.

Chen Shi glanced at Dai Mubai's disheveled figure and couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "You think you're worthy of being a hero saving a damsel in distress?"

The crested snake fell to the ground, and the little scoundrel took the opportunity to wrap his blue silver grass around it, trying to restrain it, but it was clear that his thin, soft and weak blue silver grass was still not enough.

The crested serpent darted away and appeared several meters away in the blink of an eye.

At the critical moment, Zhao Wuji made his move, using his fourth soul skill, Positioning and Tracking, to leap over and simultaneously activate his fifth soul skill, Gravity Compression!

No matter how slippery the crested snake was, it was useless against the sturdy strength of the stinky bear.

With the thousand-year-old soul beast easily captured, Zhao Wuji grabbed the snake by its seven-inch mark and slapped it with a powerful blow, instantly knocking the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Snake unconscious.

"Alright, Oscar, come and absorb your new spirit ring!"

Zhao Wuji grinned and pulled a dagger from his waist, handing it to the sausage uncle.

Oscar took the dagger. The thought that this thousand-year-old soul beast would soon become his third soul ring filled him with excitement that made his hands tremble!

Seeing this, Xiao Wu clung to Chen Shi's arm and remained silent. Although she understood that this was a world of survival of the fittest and the strong preying on the weak, seeing it with her own eyes still touched her somewhat.

Chen Shi noticed her unusual behavior and squeezed her small hand to comfort her. The little rabbit had changed a lot since she first started making a fuss about hunting soul beasts.

However, just as Oscar was about to thrust his knife, a weathered, hoarse voice suddenly rang out!

"Stop! Spare the snake!"

Immediately afterwards, two figures darted out from the direction from which the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent had flown and appeared before everyone.

An old woman and a young woman, the old woman with a full head of white hair but a vigorous spirit, held a three-meter-long snake-head cane in her right hand, and her six spirit rings pulsed up and down!

Clearly, this old woman was a powerful sixth-ring Soul Emperor!

Standing next to her was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, who was quite pretty.

Her well-developed figure was wrapped in a neat and tidy outfit. She also held a snake-head cane in her hand, but it was much shorter than the old woman's. She also had two hundred-year soul rings on her feet.
