Chapter 30: Heading to the Star Dou Great Forest, Treated as a Fat Sheep
Pfft!
In the God Realm, Asura God suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura instantly weakening significantly.
His all-encompassing eyes were now filled with solemnity.
If one looked closely, they could even discern a hint of bewilderment and fear in his pupils.
What exactly were the golden lotus and flames in that young man's Spirit Sea? They had effortlessly annihilated his divine sense, causing him to suffer a backlash.
After a moment of contemplation, Asura God ultimately decided to temporarily abandon the idea of probing the young man's secrets. He gave Yunhai a deep look, then turned and returned to his temple.
And the moment he dismissed the thought, his body and soul felt a sense of relief.
At the same time!
Deep beneath Life Lake, in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest!
Within the barrier, a silver giant dragon lay prostrate on an enormous crystal throne. Its body was a thousand meters tall, looking like a towering mountain.
The silver giant dragon was covered in silver-white scales, each one appearing to be cast from moonlight, emanating terrifying energy.
Around its body, seven-colored halos flowed, appearing both sacred and magnificent.
At this moment, the silver giant dragon's massive head was slightly lowered, its dragon horns winding upwards. At the center of its brow, a crack was faintly visible, from which a bloody killing intent permeated, filled with the will to slaughter.
Suddenly, the silver giant dragon's eyes, which seemed to have been closed for countless years, abruptly opened, bursting forth with a dazzling brilliance like moonlight.
An invisible power then spread, causing the entire Life Lake to ripple with countless wave-like movements.
Outside the barrier, Di Tian and his group, who were guarding, suddenly felt a powerful suppression from their souls and bloodlines, and immediately knelt towards the direction of the barrier.
Di Tian's expression was one of pleasant surprise.
"My Lord, you have awakened!"
A ethereal voice then sounded.
"I was merely startled by Asura God's divine sense; my injuries have not yet fully healed!"
"What!"
Upon hearing the three words 'Asura God', Di Tian's stern face changed dramatically.
"My Lord, has Asura God detected your existence?"
The ethereal voice continued, "No, his target wasn't me, and he seems to have suffered a minor setback!"
Not only Di Tian, but the surrounding great fierce beasts also showed shocked expressions.
On the Douluo Continent, besides their Lord, what other existence could make Asura God suffer a setback?
One must know, Asura God was no ordinary God!
However, the ethereal voice did not tell them the inside story, or perhaps it itself was not clear.
It merely instructed, "Di Tian, for the time being, I need you to constantly monitor the situation on the continent!"
Di Tian respectfully said, "As you command!"
...On the other side, after Qi Lin had requested leave and rented a luxurious carriage, he and Xiao Wu left Notting Academy.
In the carriage, Qi Lin took out an iron lump resembling an old-fashioned mobile phone. After injecting spirit power into it, his father's voice soon rang out.
"Son, why are you suddenly calling your dad?"
The so-called spirit tool changing lives, Qi Lin had earnestly implemented this.
Although this homemade phone currently only had the function of making calls, it was quite practical.
However, this phone could currently only receive signals within a two-hundred-li radius.
Upon hearing Qi Tian's voice, Qi Lin immediately told him the news of him and Xiao Wu going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings.
Although Qi Lin and Xiao Wu were both only ten and a half years old, Qi Tian was not at all worried about their safety, merely saying a perfunctory sentence.
"Alright, be careful on the road!"
"Also, you're a little man now, remember to protect Xiao Wu."
After he finished speaking, the phone made a beeping sound.
The other side had hung up!
Qi Lin shrugged, then put the phone into his storage bracelet.
He then looked at Xiao Wu and asked, "Alright, let's go!"
Xiao Wu also waved cheerfully!
"Let's go!"
Half a month later, the carriage delivered Qi Lin and Xiao Wu to a small town a hundred li from the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Any closer, even the coachman wouldn't dare to go.
After all, in the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Spirit Beasts would occasionally dart out from within, and safety was paramount.
Seeing this, Qi Lin had no intention of making things difficult for the coachman and promptly paid him.
In any case, the town was only a hundred li from the Star Dou Great Forest. It wouldn't be too late to experience the local customs and play for a few days here first.
The town was not large, probably only the size of three or four Radish Villages, and it didn't even have walls.
However, it was lined with shops, no less than Nuoding City.
Moreover, most of the people coming and going were Spirit Masters!
Among these people, there were those selling weapons, armor, antidote potions, all kinds, everything was available.
On their first day in the town, Qi Lin took Xiao Wu to explore, buying whatever they needed.
Most of what Qi Lin bought were materials, or precious metals and the like.
After all, he had been studying spirit tools for several years. Although with Six Ding Creation, he only needed to input materials to create the items he needed.
But creating things out of thin air required a considerable amount of spirit power.
Only if he was familiar with the structure of the object he was creating could he effectively reduce the time and spirit power consumed by creation.
Because of this, Qi Lin did not neglect his study of spirit tool knowledge, and he was intimately familiar with the names of various metal materials.
Of course, he had also consulted Tang San for much of this knowledge.
Tang San was an expert in this area, and as long as it didn't involve Tang Sect's unique techniques, he was happy to teach.
After all, Tang Hao had long since instructed him to find every possible way to win over Qi Lin.
Although he was just an Auxiliary Soul Master, his cultivation talent was too terrifying; in the future, he was very likely to become the only support system Titled Douluo on the current continent!
Of course, Qi Lin also gave Tang San several spirit tools as a reward.
Speaking of which, because of Qi Lin and Xiao Wu's frantic shopping, they were regarded as big fat sheep by many people.
In a place like this, law?
Kill someone and run, and even the Empire wouldn't bother to pursue it if they found out.
At most, they would symbolically issue a few wanted posters!
On the way back to the inn, Qi Lin's ears twitched, and he said with a smile, "Xiao Wu, it seems we've been targeted?"
Xiao Wu's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this.
To be fair, Xiao Wu had a certain degree of violent tendencies. She had loved fighting since she was a child, and Tang San had been used as her punching bag countless times.
Of course, most of the time, Tang San initiated the challenges!
It was precisely for this reason that, upon learning they were being targeted, she wasn't nervous at all; instead, she found it very exciting and instantly became interested, beginning to rub her fists together.
"Brother Qi Lin, lead them in that direction. There are fewer people there, and it's spacious."
"How dare they target us? I'm going to beat them to death!"
Qi Lin naturally had no objections and immediately walked in the specified direction with Xiao Wu.
Around twenty to thirty meters behind the two, at a corner, a small group of five—four men and one woman with fierce expressions—exchanged glances, their eyes filled with greed and killing intent.
"These two kids, so young, and they even have storage spirit tools. They might be young masters and ladies who ran away from some noble family."
"Hehe, if we pull off this job, we might be able to live comfortably for a few more years."
"It's a pity this isn't inside the Star Dou Great Forest, otherwise I might even have some fun. Such a pretty young boy isn't common."
A short-haired, bearded Fatty licked his lips, his expression lecherous.
Hearing his words, the others nearby immediately cast him disgusted looks.
At this moment, the rugged man leading the group said in a deep voice, "This is still in the small town, so let's finish this quickly. After killing them, swiftly collect the spoils, then go to the Star Luo Empire to hide for a while and avoid the heat."
The four nodded upon hearing this.
Just as they were about to act.
One of them suddenly looked at the foreheads of the other four and mumbled softly.
"I must be seeing things. Why do their four foreheads look so dark?"
