"It's okay, Xiao San." Gu You said to Tang San in the same way, his lips moved slightly: "We have a token and a letter of introduction. We will buy some herbs unique to this place later, and call them to go to the Spirit Hall after returning to the inn."
Tang San understood what Gu You meant, and quickly went to the herb shop to buy all the herbs he had never seen before. He also bought a forest map at a high price, and then returned to the inn at a leisurely pace and at a very fast speed.
"Let's go to the Spirit Hall."
After returning to the inn, Gu You pushed open the door and said to Xiao Wu and the other two who were resting inside.
Hearing the seriousness in Gu You's tone, Xiao Wu and the others packed up their things without saying a word, followed Gu You and Tang San at the stairs to meet up, and rushed to the Spirit Hall.
"Damn it, we've been discovered." A voice came from the shadows, "Go report to the boss quickly. Everyone else, follow me and stop them."
Gu You led everyone to the Spirit Hall quickly. As the tallest and largest building in the town, there was no need to know much about it; one could see its location just by looking up.
"Tsk, we're stopped." Seeing the wall of people in front, Gu You curled his lips and asked everyone to stop.
"Brother You, behind me."
Turning around, they saw a group of people surrounding them from behind. The shops on both sides immediately closed and everyone was surrounded by the crowd.
"Gu You, what exactly happened here?" Meng Yiran asked in a low voice.
Judging from the number of people, it must be the local snake group here. Meng Yiran didn't think that Gu You and Tang San would provoke a group to this extent in such a short time...
Maybe.
Hearing Meng Yiran's question, Gu You also lowered his voice and answered with a wry smile: "The timing of coming here is not very good. A lot of things happened here at the same time."
Just as the two were talking quietly, a bald strong man walked out of the crowd. He was 1.8 meters tall, weighed 180 kilograms, had a face full of flesh, and wore a necklace made of various soul beast bones around his neck, a few soul beast skulls around his waist, and a tiger skin cloak on his back.
"who are you?"
The man's deep voice came, and his size and ferocious expression, coupled with the crowd surrounding them, gave people a strong sense of oppression.
Of course, this feeling of oppression was of no use to Gu You. Among the crowd, only Meng Yiran and Ranta were affected.
Gu You walked out and confronted the man, saying loudly: "We are soul masters from the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy. We are here to obtain soul rings."
"Did you arrest Wei?"
"Brother, we just arrived in this town today and have no idea what happened here."
"Don't quibble." The man's face suddenly became ferocious, and he shouted at Gu You: "Do you think I will believe it?"
"A person who just arrived in the town would go to the restaurant to collect information? And without an adult leading him?"
Now Gu You understood that his and Tang San's overly mature behavior caused others to misunderstand and think that this was not something normal children would do.
That’s not right. Isn’t this a fantasy world? It’s normal for children to mature early.
This is another misunderstanding of Guyou. In other fantasy worlds, it is indeed normal for children to mature early and do things that are usually only done by adults.
But this is Douluo, and people with extraordinary talents are led and protected by their elders before they grow up, rather than growing up wildly on their own.
Just like Xiao Huohuo next door, although he was fundamentally protected by Yao Lao, he grew up alone and wildly most of the time, and only grew into the Emperor of Yan by relying on his wisdom and great luck.
The original Tang San... can only be said to exist, but his presence is not strong.
"Trouble." Gu You thought to himself. Looking at the look in the man's eyes, he knew that he had completely fallen into his own judgment. No matter what method he used, it would be impossible to convince him, not even taking out the Spirit Hall token.
Except... more violent than him.
In the current situation, the people from the Spirit Hall may have gone into the Soul Beast Forest to look for someone, otherwise the town would not have become like this.
"Xiao You, there are about fifty people surrounding us. What should we do now? Break out?" Tang San asked in a low voice. He also felt that there was something wrong with the man in front of him, as if he had completely lost his mind.
"No," Gu You rejected Tang San's suggestion. Breaking out by force would only double the conflicts between the two sides. Even if he asked the Spirit Hall to prove his innocence, he would not believe it and would only drag the Spirit Hall into the water.
"Xiao San, there might be a fight soon, please help keep an eye on Lanta." Gu You was not worried about Tang San, Xiao Wu and Meng Yiran, he was only worried about whether Lanta would get hurt.
He was clear about everyone's strength. Except for Meng Yiran who was at level 22, he, Tang San and Xiao Wu were already at level 23.
Even Tang San in the original novel can beat Dai Mubai, who is over level 29, at level 30. After the three people have strengthened themselves with their own soul skills and honed their basics, even if their soul power is lower, they can easily beat an ordinary soul master.
Although Meng Yiran has been in the team for a short time, he has worked very hard in his training and can now use the snake staff quite well.
Only Ranta, because her level is too low and she has no soul skills, can't keep up with the training pace of everyone else. She can only practice independently. Gu You is most worried about her.
Tang San understood Gu You's concerns. Gu You was a strong attacker and needed to be at the front. He couldn't help protect Lanta in the back row. That's why he asked him to do it.
"Okay." Tang San agreed immediately. If all else fails, he can use hidden weapons, as long as no one's life is harmed.
Seeing that Gu You ignored him and was whispering with the people behind him, the man became even more angry. He waved his hand and said, "Little guys, come on and take them down."
Following his words, everyone began to release their martial spirits.
Most of the people who surrounded him only had one soul ring, and most of them were white soul rings, with yellow hundred-year soul rings rarely appearing. A few were two-ring great soul masters, and except for one with two yellow soul rings, the others had one white and one yellow or two white rings.
The other side was much more powerful, five people flew out eight yellow spirit rings, which was more than the fifty people on the opposite side combined. With only five people, their momentum was enough to fight against fifty people combined, and they even had a slight advantage.
"It's you!" Seeing the soul rings of Gu You and the others, the man became even more excited, convinced that his judgment was correct, "Give Wei back!"
"Wild boar, possessed!"
As the man spoke, his already plump body grew even larger, his muscles bulged, his legs turned into hooves, the man grew twenty centimeters taller, and looked like a mountain of flesh.
His arms swelled up, and hard bristles grew on them, densely covering his arms. Mane grew on his neck, making his originally ferocious face look even more ferocious.
The most noticeable thing about him is his face, with his mouth stretched wide and huge, curved pale fangs growing out of the corners of his mouth. One of the fangs is larger than the other, and has obvious signs of being weathered.
Two fangs were pointed at Gu You, and the three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, swayed up and down, and the ferocious momentum surged towards Gu You.
"I already said I don't know who A Wei is!"
"Demon beast, possess me!" Gu You roared, and his martial spirit instantly possessed me. Although he was not as big as the other party, his ferocious appearance, coupled with the purple lightning leaping on his body, made Gu You's momentum not inferior to that of the other party.
Seeing that Gu You was really "stubborn", the man roared, his first soul ring lit up, and the "Yang Tu" was activated.
The pale fangs flashed a metallic luster in an instant and rushed towards Gu You.
Seeing the opponent's actions, Gu You also roared and used his legs to move forward.
boom!
Gu You stretched out his hands and accurately grabbed the man's two fangs, and pressed his feet on the ground, preventing the man from moving forward.
There was a hint of surprise in the man's eyes. None of the two spirit rings behind Gu You were lit, but he was able to match himself with his first spirit skill just by relying on his basic qualities.
But this did not surprise the man, but instead further deepened his anger.
The only purple soul ring burst into light, and the man's eyes were instantly covered in blood red. The veins on his legs that turned into hooves bulged, and he suddenly exerted force and rushed towards Gu You.
The Millennium Soul Skill "Slam" greatly increases explosive power and enables a collision beyond the limit.
"Hah!" Gu You clenched his teeth and tensed all the muscles in his body. It was too difficult for him to maintain the balance relying solely on the basic qualities of his martial spirit. Gu You was pushed backwards little by little, and his feet left two deep grooves on the ground.
"What happened outside?"
A beautiful girl with long black hair stood on the top floor of the inn that Gu You left. She looked through the window at the noise outside and asked the servant behind her.
"Second Miss, it's just a small group here targeting outsiders, you don't have to worry."
"Before the young lady left, I reminded you to rest and stay in good spirits so that you can successfully obtain the second spirit ring."
ps: Many friends misunderstood yesterday's chapter on Moonlight.
First of all, the cost is also random, not all costs are spirit rings. Secondly, it is a prank, so naturally not all effects are so good. It is possible for a mage to take berserk, a swordsman to take high-speed chanting, and an assassin to take riding.
I originally planned to write a character that would go blind for a certain period of time but could launch a super powerful attack. Blindness is the cost, and then you charge up to launch the attack. Because you go blind first and then charge up, you never hit anyone.
No one would choose a skill like this.
The arrowhead of the Moon Goddess sent Gu You to the cemetery, and a strong attacking spirit master on the other side returned to the Junior Spirit Master Academy (just kidding). Please recommend and vote for the monthly ticket~~~
Chapter 139: Fighting Still Needs Brains
"what?"
"This is impossible!"
"Brother Jie's violent collision didn't even knock him away?!"
Seeing that their eldest brother was the first to attack, in this situation of king against king, the younger brothers around him also observed martial ethics and did not rush in to fight.
As the strongest person born and raised in the town, with the best soul ring ratio of the time, the younger brothers around him all believe in Brother Jie's power. His third soul ring "slam" can even open a path in the forest.
But now, the eldest brother's strongest move was blocked by a two-ring great soul master, and he hadn't even used his soul skills. This hit their self-confidence.
"Hehe, being able to push Brother You down is enough for him to be proud of himself." The opponent didn't take any action, so Tang San and the others were happy to have some free time, watching the wrestling between Gu You and the opponent with great interest.
As the only one here who often fights with Gu You in close combat, Xiao Wu knows best how terrifying Gu You's body is.
Strength, explosive power, weight, hardness, all these basic attributes are perfectly combined in Gu You, and what finally emerges is an ultimate killing machine.
The only thing that could limit his killing efficiency was Gu You’s combat experience, or in other words… whether he was willing to use his first soul skill.
If Xiao Wu had had other means of fighting, she would not want to engage in close combat with Gu You at all. All her attacks would have a damage of -1. If Gu You failed to hold back his punch and really hit her, she would be seriously injured and have to go to the hospital. This was a lesson learned with blood and tears.
Seeing that the "Kingpin" on the opposite side was able to suppress Gu You, Xiao Wu still praised the opponent a little and began to look forward to how badly he would be beaten by Gu You later.
"Brother Jie? And that Ah Wei, could he be the one the restaurant said was missing after being led away by the fire? Are they from the Taixun Group?"
The external brain was busy fighting, so there was no time to think. Tang San could only use the internal brain to start thinking.
"At present, we know that there are three other things happening here besides us."
"First, someone from a big family came here to hunt souls, and they even booked the top floor of the inn."
"Secondly, there is a suspected wanted criminal who has escaped into the Soul Beast Forest. The Spirit Hall's personnel are all searching for him inside, so the supervision of the town has been reduced."
"Third, Awei from the Taixun Group was led away by the fire and disappeared. In order to find him, Brother Jie sent a large number of members into the Soul Beast Forest. It seems that he lost his composure."
"Are these three independent incidents, or is there something else going on that we don't know about?"
Looking at Gu You and Jie who were wrestling, Tang San frowned. Of course, he was not worried about Gu You, but was judging how the situation would develop after Gu You won.
What, Gu You will lose?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. (Waving hands)
On the other side, the suppressed Gu You was well prepared for this.
Indeed, he had very poor combat experience and combat instincts, and was unable to make the most appropriate choice to deal with the situation.
But he has a brain. He is not from here, and he has seen at least 500 battle scenes (although they are all in anime and movies). He can't think of a solution for a sudden situation, and he can prepare for the common ones in advance.
Being suppressed in a wrestling match, this is a classic scenario that Gu You naturally has a plan to deal with.
