Chapter 49 Tiandou Royal Guard

Chapter 49 Tiandou Royal Guard
According to the original plot, the Shrek group should have walked to the Star Dou Great Forest, but Leng Xiyao was very lazy, so she called a convoy to take them there, so that she could have a good sleep in the car.

Just like when they came here, it takes about half a day to get from Soto City to Xingdou Town. It will be almost night when they arrive. After resting for a night, they will officially set foot on the land of Xingdou Great Forest and begin searching for suitable soul beasts.

No need to hurry, the little monsters also had some free time and started chatting:
"Boss Dai, what is this Xingdou Town?" Faced with this new term, as a 'curious baby', Tang San unsurprisingly asked his own question.

Dai Mubai was originally looking at the scenery outside the window out of boredom, but he immediately perked up when he heard Tang San's question. But before he could open his mouth, Ning Rongrong at the side took over the conversation:
"Xingdou Town is a newly-emerged town in recent years. It is located inside the Xingdou Great Forest and is the closest town to the soul beast gathering area, bar none."

"Is that so?" Dai Mubai was a little unhappy that the conversation was interrupted, but when he saw that Ning Rongrong knew this place better than he did, he pretended to listen attentively.

"Yes, although Xingdou Town is not taken seriously by major forces on the surface, in fact all forces are involved. Our family has sent many subordinate forces to participate in the construction of Xingdou Town, but due to the face of the guardian soul beast, no one dares to send people with strength stronger than Soul Douluo to take over the initiative." Ning Rongrong seemed extremely professional about this matter, and spoke very clearly.

"Why? Could it be that the guardian beast is something that even Titled Douluo dare not provoke?" Now not only Dai Mubai and Tang San were curious, but everyone had a question - isn't it true that the strong are respected in this Douluo Continent? Why didn't the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect dare to interfere in the affairs of Xingdou Town?
“Because, without that guardian beast, the Xingdou Town that we spent several years building will collapse in an instant. There is probably only one soul beast in the world that is so wild and willing to submit to humans.” Ning Rongrong’s tone was full of admiration, and she glanced at Leng Xiyao who was sleeping soundly.

Soul beasts and humans are irreconcilable. Even a Titled Douluo cannot make soul beasts submit to him willingly. But now, someone has actually done it.

The man was still in front of her.

Originally, Ning Rongrong didn't know Leng Xiyao's background, but after the family sent someone to deliver a letter to her, she knew everything.

“Taming soul beasts? This…” Everyone, including Zhao Wuji, was stunned. In their minds, taming soul beasts was undoubtedly a great ability. After all, if a person masters the method of taming soul beasts, he can tame a legion!
A soul beast army is enough to destroy the standing army of any country. After all, the average strength of the standing army's soldiers is only around level 20.

"Well, you'll understand when we get there. Maybe we can even rely on the mayor's face to meet the ferocious beast." Ning Rongrong smiled cunningly, as if she had anticipated something interesting that would happen in the future.

This made everyone feel a little confused, but no one intended to ask more questions, and soon everyone started talking about other topics.

The convoy was moving quite fast, and they arrived at the border outpost in about three hours. After that, they still needed to travel for several hours in the Xingdou Great Forest before they could reach Xingdou Town.

Although this is the border, it is not the junction of the two empires after all. When the soul beasts are not causing trouble, neither the Barak Kingdom, the Tiandou Empire nor the Spirit Hall are willing to waste their precious military forces in such a place. The local city lords organize their own guards to make up the numbers.

The strength of these guards is generally not too high, so there is no need to worry about rebellion or anything.

However, today, the atmosphere at the border outpost is very strange. Rows of elite guards are standing guard here, carefully checking the passing mercenaries and caravans.

This was almost unseen in the past, because the outpost usually functions as a toll station, collecting only tolls. If you are going to Xingdou Town, you can spend twice as much to buy a ticket. Without a ticket, you cannot enter Xingdou Town.

This is also one of the main sources of income for Xingdou Town. However, today, many people were turned away by this group of elite guards and were not allowed to leave the country at all, on the grounds that they were carrying sharp weapons.

"Damn it! Are you being unreasonable? Why are we going out? Isn't it just to hunt soul beasts? You don't allow us to bring weapons when we go out to hunt soul beasts?" A mercenary who had just been stopped looked at the group of expressionless guards and said angrily.

"That's right! How can you do things this way? Isn't this a bit too overbearing?"

"We are just a group of blacksmiths who went to Xingdou Town to make a living. If we are not allowed to bring tools, what's the point of going there?"

As more and more people were stopped, more people started to make a fuss. After all, it was not easy to come to the border, and if they were delayed, they might have to stay here for several days, and perhaps several gold coins would be wasted. Who would be willing to do that?

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, a person who looked like a team leader came out and shouted, "Stop making noise! ​​Prince Xue Qinghe is here in person to obtain the fourth spirit ring. You guys have to wait even if you have something very important to ask!"

As soon as they heard the name Xue Qinghe, everyone fell silent. After all, they were just insignificant little people in this empire. How could they compare with the heir to this empire?

After the rioting crowd dispersed, the guards continued their work and soon arrived at the carriage pulled by an unknown soul beast that the Shrek group was riding in.

"Everyone, get off the car and be inspected!" As if because they were tired, or because of something else, the tone of voice of this group of guards was not very good, and it was completely an order.

"Sir, we are gold members of Xingdou Town. Can you let us go directly?" Ning Rongrong seemed to be prepared. She jumped out of the car and handed over a gold card. A bright smile appeared on her face, and her playful look was very endearing.

The guard in charge of the search took the card and looked at it. He saw two exquisite small words "Xingdou" written on the gold card, which looked really extraordinary.

For a moment, the guard was at a loss as to what to do, so he went to the captain who had just reprimanded everyone and said in embarrassment: "Captain, these people have gold cards from Xingdou Town, should we just let them pass?"

Ning Rongrong thought the matter was settled, but the chief guard only glanced at her calmly and said:

"During this special time, it won't work for anyone to come. There are many people who have the Xingdou Town Gold Card. If everyone is allowed to pass, then what is the point of our sentry post?"
