Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San to fight Gangzi

Chapter 60 The Mastermind, the Evil Soul Master (Bonus Chapter for First 1000 Subscriptions)

"Given the current situation, we can only hold on a little longer and leave the Soul Hunter Forest during the night."

As the captain of the Soul Hunter Squad, Wang Neng naturally couldn't allow anyone present to be in mortal danger.

Traveling at night is dangerous, but it's better than being targeted by an unknown spirit beast.

It's best to avoid encountering these indiscriminately killing spirit beasts if possible.

"Alright, let's continue leaving in the original formation. I will report the situation here to the Spirit Hall," Su Yuntao said.

With Xiao Gui, Tang San, and Xiao Wu protected in the middle, Su Yuntao still entrusted the last position to Xiao Lin.

Although such behavior might be very disadvantageous to Xiao Lin, there was no other way; there was no one more suitable to stand behind him than Xiao Lin.

At this moment, no one wanted to speak, fearing being targeted by that bullet bee that liked to kill indiscriminately.

A group of people traveled silently, walking at top speed on the path through the Soul Hunter Forest. Along the way, Stone Egg, who was at the forefront, forged ahead, cutting through thorns and brambles.

Cut down all the bushes blocking the road to make it easier for people behind to walk.

Under normal circumstances, even a thousand-year-old soul beast can be defeated by a coordinated attack from a great soul master.

Moreover, Wang Neng, the captain of the Soul Hunting Squad, is a Soul Master.

However, this is only under normal circumstances.

Just like in the original timeline, Yu Xiaogang even said he could help Tang San obtain the first two spirit rings, but he was almost killed by a 400-year-old Mandragora Snake.

Moreover, for the bullet bee with its terrifying speed and deadly venom, killing someone instantly is far too easy.

Poison might be the weakest attribute in Douluo Continent, but when it comes to its lethality against low-level Soul Masters, it's the most effective.

With minimal cost, one can take the life of a low-level Soul Master.

This is why, although Dugu Bo is the weakest Title Douluo, he is still the strongest control-type Soul Master.

In front of Dugu Bo, a low-level Soul Master would die if he came alone, and he would still die if he came in a group.

On the way, Xiao Lin noticed that Tang San was rubbing a mysterious powder in his hand while traveling, so he quietly went up to ask him about it.

"What are you doing, mistress?"

Xiao Lin was very curious; the things Tang San had to do at this time must not be useless.

"I'm making insect repellent powder, the most effective insect repellent powder," Tang San replied, his hands still moving at a rapid pace.

"Now that we know that the soul beast might be a bullet bee, an insect-type soul beast, I need to use insect repellent powder to prevent it from harming us."

"Let it develop a dislike for us and then target others."

In Tang San's mind, it was probably a case of "better to die for your fellow Daoist than for yourself."

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Lin fell silent.

He wouldn't blame Tang San for this, and he didn't want to be a hero.

However, if all the Soul Hunting teams in the Soul Hunting Forest could be united, perhaps they could wipe out the Bullet Bees in one fell swoop.

Xiao Lin thought to himself, and secretly shook his head.

What can be said now?

If they encounter other Soul Hunting teams on the road, that's fine; if not, they don't want to waste time looking for them.

"Buzzing..."

Suddenly, Tang San and Xiao Wu, both with keen hearing, instantly heard the sound of insects flapping their wings.

"Oh no! Enemies! Bullet Bees!"

Tang San immediately shouted, and the Blue Silver Grass in his hand was instantly summoned.

"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Regeneration Bracelet"

The next second, as the yellow spirit ring under Tang San's feet flashed, a bracelet woven from blue silver grass appeared on the wrists of Xiao Lin, Xiao Wu, Su Yuntao, and himself.

Upon hearing Tang San's words, everyone immediately summoned their martial souls.

"Possessed by the spirit of a war tiger."

"Possessed by a lone wolf."

……

"Possessed by the Soft-Boned Rabbit."

"Moonlight shines on the frost-covered osmanthus blossoms."

Even Xiao Gui summoned her own laurel blossoms and distributed a handful of them equally among everyone, but Xiao Lin refused the laurel blossoms.

This osmanthus flower is both a baby bottle and a target.

In the dim and dark Soul Hunter Forest, the shimmering light of the blooming laurel flowers is like a padlock mark on the bullet bee.

However, just as Xiao Lin had thought, everyone present was not a mindless person.

He quickly put the laurel flower in his mouth and absorbed its vitality.

Only Xiao Wu remained dazed, and only after Tang San prompted her did she eat the osmanthus flower.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Gradually, as everyone was about to leave, the sound of insects flapping their wings was heard even by people like Xiao Lin who were not good at perceiving things.

This clearly shows they don't want Xiao Lin and the others to leave.

Luring Xiao Lin and the others here might be a trap set by the Bullet Bees.

Unbeknownst to Xiao Lin, a silent fear was gradually eroding the mental defenses of the Soul Hunter Team and Tang San's group.

Perhaps it's the weakest one, Xiao Gui, who breaks through the defense first, or perhaps it's the War Chicken Stone Egg...

In the past, Xiao Lin would have thought that the fear of the unknown was the most terrifying.

But now, even Xiao Lin can't say for sure.

Xiao Gui clung tightly to Xiao Wu's arm, and before anyone knew it, her grip tightened, making Xiao Wu feel uncomfortable.

Xiao Wu could only look helplessly at Tang San, who was standing to the side, for help.

"Sneaking around like that, does the Millennium Bullet Bee really have that high an IQ?"

Xiao Lin felt even stranger at this moment.

Generally speaking, there aren't many soul beasts with a thousand years of cultivation who possess high intelligence, and insect-type soul beasts have always been known for their low intelligence.

Compared to other powerful soul beasts, insect-type soul beasts can only rely on their basic stats.

For example, the giant ant has considerable strength, but it basically doesn't live past a hundred years.

If you only rely on basic stats and your intelligence isn't high, you won't be able to survive in the Soul Beast Forest.

At this moment, behind Xiao Lin and the others, a hunched old man dressed in a black robe was following closely behind them, about a hundred meters away.

Looking closely at his appearance, besides the slovenly black robe, the hunchbacked old man's face was painted with many strange paints.

"Just one more step. Once the little bees have wiped out all these people, I'll have collected the blood of twenty-one different martial souls..."

The old man in the black robe had an expression of excitement at the prospect of success.

"Hehehe...cough cough cough!"

He smiled with a hint of excitement, which caused him to choke, but that was a minor matter.

At that moment, the old man in black robes summoned a blood-red agate gem.

This is his martial soul, a mental martial soul that can control others, Blood Agate.

However, after failing to break through to the Soul Master level for decades, he tried countless methods.

Until recently, he unexpectedly discovered an ancient book at home, which recorded that the life force of different Soul Masters could be used to condense a new Martial Soul.

This allows one's martial spirit to evolve and one to break through to the Soul Master level.

Eager to achieve quick results, he disregarded the side effects mentioned in the ancient texts and entered the Soul Hunter Forest alone, where he controlled a bullet bee.

Subsequently, while continuously using his martial soul to control the bullet bees, he also used a secret technique to rapidly increase the age of the bullet bees.

Once the bullet bees have killed the last eight people, the life force of the blood of the twenty-one different martial soul masters will be integrated.

Finally, a new stinger formed from the fusion of different martial souls will be created on the tail of the bullet bee.

This tail needle is the tool for evolving his Blood Agate.

Regardless of the compatibility between martial souls, the black-robed elder felt that as long as the first attempt was successful, it could naturally be repeated in the future.

"Evolve, evolve!"

"Bullet Bee, go and take care of those guys over there."
