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

Chapter 97 AOE Control - Thrust Cage, the Perfect Hexagonal Warrior!

Back with Rongrong and Zhuqing, Chen Shi and Xiao Wu no longer needed to hide their identities. They changed into clean clothes and felt much more refreshed.

They found a blanket, and one man and three women squeezed together. This time, the girls didn't take off their shoes and show off their little feet like they did last time, engaging in a jade foot competition.

After all, they are still in the Star Dou Great Forest and may face danger at any time, so Chen Shi insisted that their movements must be made easy.

Holding Chen Shi's hand, Ning Rongrong recalled Zhao Wuji's words and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Chen Shi, isn't it unsafe for us to sleep here?"

"What if some kind of spirit beast suddenly appears and attacks?"

Sensing the nervousness in the girl's voice, Chen Shi tightened his grip on her hand and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm here. You just need to rest well, leave the rest to me."

Chen Shi gave people a great sense of security, and the three women's worries immediately disappeared upon hearing this.

"Chen Shi, how about we take turns keeping watch? That way you can have an easier time."

The usually quiet kitten spoke up, and Zhu Zhuqing looked at Chen Shi with a tender expression in her eyes.

Xiao Wu and Rong Rong both nodded in agreement with this suggestion, showing their own concern for Chen Shi.

Chen Shi smiled back: "It's alright, Zhu Qing~"

"Teacher Zhao and the others won't go too far. They should be back soon. You should go to sleep too."

Having said that, the three women didn't press the matter further. They had been anxiously waiting until now and were indeed extremely tired.

Although Xiao Wu was in a better mental state, she was physically more tired.

There was no way around it; the spring water created resistance, and the little girl had to keep her legs clamped together and sway her hips—it was truly a physically demanding task.

Soon, the sound of the three women breathing evenly could be heard.

Chen Shi quietly got up, sat down to the side to keep watch, and took the opportunity to summarize and reflect on all the achievements of the day.

Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's plan to come to the Star Dou Great Forest was greatly delayed, there was an unexpected surprise: they obtained the martial soul data of the Azure Bull Python!

Adding to the previous data on the Titan Giant Ape's martial soul, Chen Shi had a very strong premonition...

A new bond may form between Da Ming and Er Ming, leading to a breakthrough in mecha manufacturing!

Besides abstract concepts like martial soul data, Chen Shi's gains were even more obvious!

After absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring and breaking through to the forty-first level of Soul Master, the Martial Soul Mecha was also upgraded, adding new Mecha Soul Skills!

[Martial Soul Mech: Netherworld White Tiger, New Soul Skill: White Tiger Meteor Shower]

[Martial Soul Mech: Evil Fire Phoenix, New Soul Skill: Phoenix Roar Strike]

……

The arrival of his fourth soul skill greatly pleased Chen Shi, giving him a new variety of offensive tactics.

Aside from his Martial Soul Mech, Chen Shi actually had another ability enhanced: the Eight Spider Mech Armor!

After absorbing the power of the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Cave Demon Spider, the Eight Spider Armor successfully mastered its essence!

[Eight Spider Armor - New Attached Soul Skill: Piercing Cage!]

[Soul Skill Effect: Sharp spider spears instantly burst from the ground, piercing through the enemy's defenses and even their body, while firmly immobilizing them in place!]

[Special Note: This soul skill can be used multiple times to continuously strengthen its imprisonment and restriction effects!]

After reading the description of this soul skill, even Chen Shi couldn't help but gasp!

AOE damage, AOE control—is this what a wide-area, area-of-effect soul skill is like? Truly terrifying!

In this way, Chen Shi's last and only weakness... lack of control was completely overcome!

Speed, defense, physical/magical attack, skill, support, control – he's proficient in everything!

Chen Shi has become a perfect all-around warrior!

After organizing all this data, Chen Shi closed his eyes to rest for a while, when the smart chip that had been keeping an alert suddenly reacted.

Chen Shi suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward the source of the sound. Fortunately, it was a false alarm; it turned out that Zhao Wuji and the others had returned.

As dawn approached and the sky began to lighten, Chen Shi took the opportunity to wake the three girls.

Xiao Wu, Rong Rong, and Zhu Qing all looked like they hadn't had enough sleep yet, their eyes still sleepy.

Looking at the girls' adorable expressions, Chen Shi chuckled, "Alright, time to get up. Teacher Zhao and the others are back. Once we're out of the Star Dou Great Forest, we'll sleep in some more!"

Upon hearing that Zhao Wuji had returned, the three women patted their faces, forcing themselves to cheer up.

After putting away the blankets and tidying up their clothes, Old Zhao led his men into the cave.

"Teacher Zhao, how is it going?"

Chen Shi stepped forward and asked curiously, as he didn't know if the master and apprentice could hold out until the rescue arrived.

Zhao Wuji's expression was extremely complicated. He didn't know how to answer, so he simply stepped aside.

Behind Lao Zhao, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San lay quietly on the ground like two corpses, their lower bodies covered by clothing, too ashamed to be seen.

Upon seeing this, Miss Rongrong covered her mouth in shock: "Teacher Zhao, they're... dead?"

Zhao Wuji's lips twitched, and he said with difficulty, "The situation is not optimistic, but although they are now disabled, at least they have survived!"

"And to have survived a 100,000-year-old soul beast is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune..."

At this moment, Ma Hongjun, who was carrying the "corpse" back from the side, spoke up.

"If you ask me, being disabled like that is worse than being dead!"

"Neither male nor female, what's the point of living like that?"

Knowing the truth, Dai Mubai and Oscar surprisingly did not refute the chubby boy; they even subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Zhao Wuji immediately glared at him and said irritably, "Little fatty, shut up! If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

"Once Tang San and the Grandmaster wake up, you absolutely mustn't say things like that again, understand?"

Ma Hongjun lowered his head in a sullen voice and admitted defeat: "Oh, I understand."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he muttered under his breath, still unconvinced, "Tch, now that the mink is gone, even roast chicken won't look at you anymore!"

Zhao Wuji wasn't deaf; he immediately felt a wave of exasperation, his fists clenched tightly. Sometimes, the urge to hit someone was truly uncontrollable!

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Old Zhao spoke again: "Chen Shi, Tang San and Master are still in danger, so we need to hurry back. Please take good care of the girls on the way."

Chen Shi readily agreed, "No problem, leave it to me!"

Finally, he had a good student who was easy to take care of. Zhao Wuji turned around, picked up Yu Xiaogang, and signaled Dai Mubai to take care of Tang San.

The golden retriever reluctantly obeyed the order, and the group headed out of the Starry Sky Forest in a grand procession...

Without stopping, Chen Shi and his group finally arrived in the town safely and smoothly before noon!

Zhao Wuji, along with Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, offered a reward to find the best healing soul master in town!

I've heard of limbs regenerating, but a broken sable... that's unheard of!
