A super Douluo moved at full speed.
In just over ten minutes, Great-Grandfather Qian Wushuang had already carried the two siblings across countless mountains and rivers.
He came to a steady stop ten thousand meters above a small town near the Star Dou Great Forest.
“Great-Grandfather, look down there!
It’s like an ant nest~”
Qian Renxue pointed excitedly at the dense cluster of buildings that resembled an ant colony and shouted.
Great-Grandfather Qian Wushuang looked in the direction Qian Renxue was pointing, a flash of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.
“Xiao Xue, that’s no ant nest.
This place is called Soul Hunting Town.”
“Soul Hunting Town?” Qian Renxue blinked her deep blue eyes.
“What is it for?”
“This Soul Hunting Town is for those Spirit Masters who are about to enter the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts.”
“It’s a crucial supply point and resting place.”
“Don’t be fooled by its size; it looks like a small city, but it is actually just a town.”
Great-Grandfather Qian Wushuang patiently explained the origin of Soul Hunting Town to the two little ones.
“In this town, there is nothing flashy or useless.
It is filled with places for forging weapons, selling potions, and providing food and lodging.”
“Everything inside is designed to serve Spirit Masters and mercenaries.”
“As the saying goes, ‘those near the mountain live off the mountain, those near the water live off the water.’ This Soul Hunting Town was built by relying on the Star Dou Great Forest.”
At this point, Great-Grandfather Qian Wushuang said with emotion, “I remember when I was your age…”
“This town was just a burgeoning settlement, nowhere near as massive as it is now.”
“At most, it could only be called a village.”
“There are at least hundreds or even thousands of Soul Hunting Towns like this along the vast border of the Star Dou Great Forest!”
Great-Grandfather Qian Wushuang spoke vividly, as if returning to his childhood when his own father had brought him here.
Qian Renxue blinked her large, beautiful eyes, listening with great interest.
Qian Renheng, on the other hand, wasn’t very interested in such things and looked down at the ‘ant nest’ with a lack of enthusiasm.
“Xiao Heng, Xiao Xue, look, there is still some time before the sun reaches the center of the sky.”
“Why don’t we go for a stroll in Soul Hunting Town first?” Great-Grandfather Qian Wushuang looked down and asked.
“Yay, Great-Grandfather!
Let’s go down and take a look!”
She was clearly full of curiosity about this Soul Hunting Town, which was filled with a mundane atmosphere and a rugged style.
“Good!
Then we’ll go down for a walk now, and just happen to wait for that useless grandfather of yours!”
Great-Grandfather Qian Wushuang did not hesitate, immediately pulling back the three pairs of dazzling golden wings on his back.
Carrying the two of them, he turned into an inconspicuous stream of light and dove toward the open ground on the outskirts of the town.
Before long, the three of them blended into the bustling Soul Hunting Town.
As soon as they stepped through the town gates, a scent mixed with the aroma of ale and a faint metallic tang of blood rushed at them.
The streets were relatively orderly on both sides, and various rugged shouts rose and fell, echoing endlessly.
“Come take a look!
Freshly forged steel daggers, the perfect choice for hunting Spirit Beasts!”
“Antidotes!
Antidotes!”
“Selling antidotes!
An ancestral secret formula that can neutralize a hundred types of toxins—a common remedy for the poisonous miasma on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest!”
“Not nine hundred and ninety-nine gold coins, not ninety-nine gold coins, but only nine silver coins!”
“Dear guests, anyone looking for a place to stay?
Hot water and soft beds, we have it all!
Today, all lodging is ten percent off!”
“Leading a hunt for hundred-year Spirit Beasts, ten gold coins per person!
A gold-medal hunting team, never failed once!”
“Looking for a team, looking for a team!
Need a hundred-year agility-type Spirit Beast, twenty gold coins, please take me along!”
As soon as she entered Soul Hunting Town, Qian Renxue was completely captivated by the scene before her.
It was like a giant market where everyone was incredibly busy.
“Great-Grandfather, what are those people shouting for teams doing?” Qian Renxue asked curiously.
“Those people…” Great-Grandfather Qian Wushuang’s gaze was indifferent as it swept across those shouting for teams, and he explained, “Hunting Spirit Beasts to obtain spirit rings is not an easy task.”
“Especially for those Spirit Masters without a background.”
“Naturally powerful Spirit Beasts, even if they haven’t cultivated for long, still possess strong aggression!
Hunting alone is no different from seeking death!”
“This so-called team hunting involves multiple people cooperating to hunt the specific Spirit Beasts each of them needs to obtain spirit rings.”
“They support each other and take what they need.
Of course, there are also specialized spirit hunting teams.”
“As long as you give them enough gold coins, they can lead Spirit Masters who need spirit rings into the Star Dou Great Forest to help with the hunt!” Read this novel at NovelPing for the best experience.
“However, one must be able to tell them apart.
Those Spirit Masters who wander Soul Hunting Town all year round are not exactly kind souls!”
“They might say they are entering the Star Dou Great Forest to help hunt Spirit Beasts for spirit rings…”
“But they might turn around and rob you instead.”
At this point, Great-Grandfather Qian Wushuang said with some helplessness, “Whether it’s forming a team or hiring a spirit hunting team…”
“With the help of others, it is safer and more guaranteed compared to hunting alone.”
“One only needs to deliver the final blow to the Spirit Beast themselves.”
“This is the most common and reliable method for those low-level Spirit Masters without backgrounds to hunt.”
“Great-Grandfather, what should one do if they encounter a spirit hunting team that kills for money and leaves nothing behind?” Qian Renheng asked thoughtfully.
He had never really imagined the living environment of these low-level Spirit Masters before.
Hearing his grandfather say this, it seemed extremely harsh.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue also looked over.
“What can be done?
If you can win, you fight; if you can’t, you run.
If you can’t run either, then you accept your fate!”
Great-Grandfather Qian Wushuang explained calmly, “In Soul Hunting Town, the two Great Empires and our Spirit Hall still have some power to restrain people.”
“But if you enter the Star Dou Great Forest…
who can control what happens in there?
Whether you live or die depends on heaven’s will!”
“Of course, if one is lucky enough to survive and even has evidence to report to our Spirit Hall…”
“The most just Knight Order in our Spirit Hall will still arrest these black sheep!”
Qian Renheng nodded slightly.
The two Great Empires and Spirit Hall were the keys to maintaining the balance of the continent.
They still had restraining power over Soul Hunting Town, but if one entered the forest alone to hunt, the level of danger was unimaginable.
One had to guard against the danger of Spirit Beasts and also against other people!
As the saying goes, in the Star Dou Great Forest, encountering a Spirit Beast isn’t scary; what’s scary is encountering other Spirit Masters!
After all, the human heart is unpredictable.
No one knows if the Spirit Master across from them will make a move against them!
“You two, don’t think too much.
The world is so large that no one can manage everything.” Great-Grandfather Qian Wushuang stretched out his broad palms and stroked their heads.
