Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San to fight Gangzi

Chapter 56 Miscalculations and Unexpected Changes

Moon stars are rare.

The sounds of insects chirping and some soul beasts roaring echoed through the Soul Hunting Forest, which made Tang San very uneasy.

Sometimes, an inconspicuous insect can be deadly.

A professional Soul Hunting Team wouldn't continue traveling at a time like this.

Soon, Xiao Lin and the others arrived at a relatively open space, intending to spend the night there.

Under the moonlight, this open space allows several people to see each other, providing them with a sense of security.

At this moment, Tang San had already gone to sprinkle the specially made insect repellent powder, while Shi Dan from the Soul Hunting Team took out some excrement from powerful soul beasts to use the scent to prevent soul beasts from getting close.

Xiao Lin and Xiao Wu, on the other hand, leaned against a big tree without a care in the world, with Sister Gui by their side.

Xiao Lin, whose wilderness survival experience only existed in his brain, felt that he was exceptionally intelligent and was glad that he had his mistress.

With Tang San by his side, he no longer needed to worry about poisonous insects or anything like that.

Then Xiao Lin looked at Sister Gui next to the big tree and thought of Su Yuntao's words.

Su Yuntao said he had seen an environment suitable for the survival of the Moonlight Giant Mushroom, and it should arrive around noon tomorrow.

Only now did Xiao Lin realize that his thinking was not comprehensive.

The Moonlight Giant Mushroom is an aquatic plant. If it's at the bottom of the lake, how will Sister Gui kill it? And how will her martial soul absorb the soul ring?

We can't let the Moonlight Mushroom spray out all its Moonlight Essence and exhaust itself to death, can we?

But if this causes Moonlight Mushroom's cultivation level to drop, Sister Gui will suffer a loss.

This is Xiao Lin's first experiment to switch to a food-type Soul Master, and Xiao Lin doesn't want to give up.

It seems that we'll have to reveal only a portion of our strength at that point.

I wonder if Sister Gui kills the Moonlight Giant Mushroom with my Dragon Staff, would that still count as Sister Gui killing it?

We need to think of other solutions!

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Soul Hunter Forest.

Wang Fugui and his companions are heading deep into the Soul Hunter Forest in search of the seven-hundred-year-old bullet bee.

On this dark, even pitch-black night.

The fact that Wang Fugui and his group still dared to search inside the Soul Hunting Forest can be described as a death wish.

With the tall trees blocking their view, Wang Fugui and the others could barely see their surroundings.

"Young Master Wang, we need to rest now. Bullet Bees aren't so easy to find."

At this moment, Awei, the captain of the Soul Hunting Squad beside Wang Fugui, spoke softly.

"Alright then, but let's find a safer place. I don't feel very comfortable here."

Wang Fugui wasn't particularly stupid; as a wealthy man, he valued his life.

Ever since entering the Soul Hunter Forest, Wang Fugui had had a strange feeling.

Gloomy? Terrifying?

It was an indescribable feeling that made Wang Fugui very uneasy.

However, considering his Soul Hunting Team, Wang Fugui breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Su Yuntao said that the bullet bees were very dangerous and that he should not be allowed to go looking for them under any circumstances.

He also kicked Su Yuntao out of the team, but he still added a four-person team.

Now, he has two Soul Hunter squads by his side. Even two bullet bees would be enough for them to kill!

With that thought in mind, Wang Fugui, under the protection of the Soul Hunter Squad, arrived at a relatively tall palm tree.

"Young Master Wang, these large trees are usually the habitat of bird spirit beasts, making it easier to observe the situation below."

"Wait a minute, I'll have Chuan Kang go up and keep watch. I guarantee you'll be fine all night."

The leader of the Soul Hunting Squad, Awei, was referring to one of their agility-type Soul Masters whose Martial Soul was a cat owl, allowing him to see as clearly at night as he did during the day.

Thinking of Chuan Kang's abilities, Wang Fugui nodded in satisfaction, leaned against the palm tree, and closed his heavy eyelids.

It's good that there are two Soul Hunting Teams; thankfully, they didn't go after Su Yuntao.

Following three little brats is practically suicide.

He even said that the little kid is better than him, ha!

After a while, with these smug thoughts in his mind, Wang Fugui finally fell into a deep sleep.

"What do you mean now, Captain Wei?"

At this moment, seeing Wang Fugui asleep, one of the Soul Hunters frowned and asked Awei.

Upon entering the Soul Hunter Forest, Wang Fugui had a strange feeling, and so did the other, more powerful Soul Masters.

Especially Awei, who is the strongest and whose martial soul is a beast martial soul, has the most acute senses.

During his days making a living in the Soul Hunter Forest, he had developed a kind of premonition.

You could call it a sixth sense.

Sometimes, it's this inexplicable feeling that allows him to grow from a weak honey badger martial soul to a level 33 Soul Master.

"Ten minutes feels like twelve minutes; this feeling is really wrong."

Awei's eyes twitched incessantly, a feeling that was never present even during his closest brush with death.

"Captain, something is very, very wrong."

The members of the Soul Hunter Squad silently complained, but although their captain was uneducated, they still recognized his strength.

After being possessed by a martial spirit, they became fearless and daring, which gave their squads greater courage and a better environment for dealing damage.

At this moment, Awei was not in the mood to force his teammates to say that his words were the truth. He just glanced at Chuan Kang, who was already possessed by a martial spirit, and felt a little more at ease.

With the Chuankang Martial Spirit possessing him, he can see clearly even in the dark, so nothing will happen to him.

Awei chuckled and shook his head, thinking to himself that he would let half the men continue their guard duty while he went to rest and then take over the second half of the night.

Sudden.

A drop of lukewarm water landed on Awei. Awei was startled. Was it raining?

When Awei reached out to touch the raindrops on his face, alarm bells rang loudly in his body.

"Something's wrong! Something's happened!"

"Honey badger strikes."

In an instant, Awei's martial spirit possessed him, and the loud noise startled Wang Fugui, who was already fast asleep.

Only then did Awei feel that the rainwater on his face was somewhat sticky, and even had a bloody and rusty smell.

Soon, the two Soul Hunter teams were all huddled together, back to back, keeping a watchful eye on everything around them.

"What's wrong, Captain Wei!"

Just as Wang Fugui was about to get up, suddenly, a heavy object fell from the sky.

"Bang!"

When everyone turned around, they saw that the heavy object was none other than Chuan Kang, who had already been possessed by a martial spirit.

"Kawakami!"

The members of Awei's team screamed in alarm, and everyone's face showed unease.

Chuan Kang possessed the Cat-Owl Martial Soul, yet he died without even a reaction.

There are extremely powerful soul beasts, including assassination-type soul beasts.

Awei already had a basic guess in mind, but he couldn't investigate Chuankang's cause of death at all, fearing that his actions would lead to the annihilation of the entire team.

He is a level 33 Soul Master, and the team's courage depends entirely on him.

"Oh no, Captain Wei, it seems Chuan Kang died of suffocation."

With Chuan Kang's death, the image of the martial spirit possession disappeared, and Wang Fugui, the only one who had nothing to do, became the person to investigate the cause of Chuan Kang's death.

This discovery sent shivers down the spines of Wang Fugui and his companions.

Cause of death: suffocation; a fatal blow; an unseen enemy.

Then I saw a huge needle mark on the back of Chuan Kang's neck.

Wang Fugui had already guessed what the soul beast was, and at this moment his eyes were wide open, his pupils trembling as he screamed in terror.

"It's a bullet bee! Everyone be careful of its venom!"

The next second, to Wang Fugui's incredulous gaze...

A slender, bluish-black giant bee, about half the height of a person, appeared silently in front of Wang Fugui.

It has ferocious insect mouthparts, huge blood-red compound eyes, six thick legs like spearheads, and a huge, jet-black stinger.

The memory of Su Yuntao persuading him to give up flashed before Wang Fugui's eyes, and the next second he felt a sharp pain in his chest and felt nothing at all.
