Chapter 13 Whale Hunting Conference

Time flies, and another two years pass by in a blink of an eye.

Cheng Xiao broke through to the seventeenth level. Because the first soul ring was absorbed beyond the level, after absorbing the soul ring, his soul power directly reached the twelfth level. In the past two years of training, he had raised a total of five levels.

At this time, Tang San and Xiao Wu were already at level twenty-seven, and they had only improved by five levels.

It seems that the gap has not widened, but Cheng Xiao knows very well that the training difficulty of a great soul master is much higher than that of the soul master stage, where Tang San and the two rose to nearly seven levels in two years.

This is a first-mover advantage. Uniformly accelerating movement will inevitably lag behind uniform speed movement that maintains a high speed. It is impossible for underachievers to surpass the top academics who have always been number one after studying for two years.

Conventional methods cannot erase the first-mover advantage, so you must think of some strange tricks.

"It seems that we must go to the Ice and Fire Eyes first. The opportunity there cannot be given to Tang San." Cheng Xiao planned to put the fairy grass on the agenda. After all, this was his best chance to overtake in a corner.

It's just that now that the Ice and Fire Eyes are occupied by Poison Douluo, he is weak and not strong enough to negotiate terms with others.

After pondering for more than half a month, Cheng Xiao still didn't have much clue, and the summer vacation for fifth grade had arrived.

"Xiao'er, you are familiar with these things in the store over the years. This summer vacation, come with me to visit the purchasing channels." Cheng Xiao's uncle, Cheng Yu, said.

The Cheng family provides whale oil to the nobles. Whale oil is smokeless and fragrant. It has always been sought after by all nobles. Even the royal family regards whale oil as an urgent need.

The Cheng family has always had a stable market and has no worries about being unable to sell. Therefore, the Cheng family is not considered a noble family, but it is still considered a wealthy family in Notting City.

Cheng's father used to take care of Cheng Xiao, but after his father passed away a few years ago, his uncle took over the family business and took care of Cheng Xiao.

"Okay, uncle."

Cheng Xiao nodded. His innate soul power was obvious to all. Although he was now a soul master, his family did not expect him to be successful in this path and planned to let Cheng Xiao take over the family business when he became an adult.

After his father passed away, his mother had always had expectations for him. In order to live up to her mother's expectations, Cheng Xiao chose to spend the summer vacation helping the family with the business. Titled Douluo and the road to becoming a god are things that will happen in the future. People should focus on their feet. No one can counterattack by dreaming every day.

"You have to remember the route this way. You will be needed to run in the future. Also, you have to pay attention..." Along the way, uncle Cheng Yu taught Cheng Xiao almost everything he had to say.

After ten days of trekking, the purchasing team finally arrived at a small seaside town - "Whale Hunting City".

As soon as we entered the small town, the bustling scene hit us, and the noisy sounds of trading and hawking filled our ears, showing the prosperity of this city.

Whale Hunting City is famous for its whale oil. Almost half of all the whale oil in the entire continent comes from here. Whale oil is produced from June to August every year. During this time of year, almost all whale oil merchants from the mainland come here. Buying whale oil here is not a bustling experience.

"Let's go, we don't buy in the city. We have a dedicated Orion to cooperate with us. There is no need to buy second-hand goods here." After arranging a hotel for the team, Cheng Yu took Cheng Xiao away from the team members: "The route is not the most important thing. Yes, this cooperative hunter is the basis for our family's survival, and we must not let others follow us."

After walking for nearly twenty miles and climbing over a mountain, it was almost dark before the two of them arrived at a village.

"Bang bang!" Cheng Yu came to a house and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"Lao Lu, I am Cheng Yu."

"Hahaha, I knew it was you. I figured it would be just a few days. If I don't come, I'm afraid you won't be able to make the first dish."

With a creak, the door opened. The person who opened the door was a tanned man. After seeing Cheng Yu, he immediately gave Cheng Yu a big hug, and then they started talking.

"This is this?" After greeting Cheng Yu, Lao Lu looked at the young man behind Cheng Yu with doubts on his face.

"This is my eldest brother's son. He will take over the family business when he reaches adulthood. I will take him here for a trip today." Cheng Yu introduced the two of them to each other: "Lv Han, the hunter who cooperates with our family, we have I bought all the whale oil from him. His name is Uncle Lu."

"Uncle Lu!"

"Hey, okay, this guy is good! With his body and bones, it looks like he will be a tough guy when he grows up, hahaha!" Lu Han welcomed the two of them into the house: "Daughter-in-law, get two plates of food and drinks. Second Cheng is here. Stay with us today and I'll have a good drink with him."

At the wine table, Cheng Xiao gradually understood the status of this village.

This village is called Moon Village, and there is Moon Bay nearby. This village has mastered the technology of luring and hunting magic whales a long time ago, and has always cooperated in a village manner, which is extremely cohesive.

It's not so much a village as a loose sect formed around this secret technique.

This village holds a whale hunting conference from June to August every year, and a grand bonfire banquet is held in the evening. The hunted magic whales are boiled into whale oil, which is distributed to the villagers and hunters according to the village's internal ranking and contribution system. Then Orion sells it at a high price.

Hunters with a good reputation will have long-term cooperative buyers with exclusivity; while for some with a poor reputation, some people will try to cooperate at the beginning, but over time they will be abandoned by the buyers, and they can only go to the Whale Hunting City to sell and deceive some. People who don’t know how to do it.

"No wonder my uncle said he couldn't bring anyone here. It turns out he was afraid of being pried away to cooperate." Cheng Xiao muttered as he watched the two of them exchange cups.

It wasn't until late at night that the two of them got drunk and ended the meal.

Three days later, the whale hunting meeting began.

Cheng Xiao saw this spectacular sight for the first time. Dozens of large ships went out to sea together. The sailors shouted and set sail, tearing through the waves and sailing into the sea.

Cheng Xiao and Cheng Yu boarded a ship with Lu Han to personally experience the intensity and passion of the conference.

"Lao Lu, can this time have the same volume as last year?"

"How can we be sure? Our secret technique is only to lure and hunt, and we can't predict. It's not about how many magic whales can come to this sea this year."

After ten days of sailing, the fleet finally reached a piece of sea. Early that morning, Cheng Xiao was awakened by a whistle. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and came to the deck. The scene in front of him was shocking. Got to him.

I saw all the soul masters on the fleet standing on the deck, releasing their martial souls in unison, all of which were sea soul beast souls. These sea soul masters were at least soul masters, and the strongest ones had reached Soul Emperor level.

Cheng Xiao saw Lao Lu, and to his surprise, this dark man with a simple and honest face turned out to be a Soul Master!

"It's true that people cannot be judged by their appearance." Cheng Xiao clicked his tongue.

They muttered words in their mouths, as if they were emitting some kind of melody, and the melody resonated. Soon, they attracted a group of demon whales. The group of demon whales seemed to be possessed, swimming around the fleet, and spraying out a stream from time to time. The water column soaring into the sky reflects the colorful light under the sunlight.

The fleet began its return journey, luring the demonic whales to follow the fleet until it returned to Moon Bay. Only then did the sea spirit masters show their fangs, drive the whales into Moon Bay, and then start killing mercilessly.

The villagers used the secret skills they had mastered to kill. These gray-eyed demon whales had no resistance at all. This was simply a massacre! One-sided massacre!

Countless soul rings rise, most of them are purple soul rings, and a few black soul rings will appear here and there.

The water of Moon Bay is as red as the bride's hijab, extremely colorful.

The smell of blood rushed to the sky. Even if the sea water continued to wash away, it was difficult to wash away the smell of blood on the cliffs of Moon Bay.

Seeing this scene, even with Cheng Xiao's hard-hearted heart, he couldn't help but feel moved.

"Don't think too much. These gray-eyed demon whales are the best at giving birth. They can give birth to a large group every year." Cheng Yu patted his nephew on the shoulder and consoled him.

Cheng Xiao shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle, I underestimated me too much. Although I can't bear it, if they hadn't mastered the secret technique, they would have become the rations of the gray-eyed demon whale. The weak eat the strong, which is the iron law of the soul master world. That’s it, I’m not that fragile.”

"Hahaha, that's good."

Yes, the weak eat the strong. Cheng Xiao once again had a new understanding of the world. He thought of Xiao Wu. She... was also a spirit beast... In just a moment, his heart became as hard as iron again.
