Chapter 33 Uncle, you died so miserably!

What should a level 20 soul master do when he encounters a level 80 Soul Douluo?

What can be done? Just lie down.

Cheng Xiao didn't think that his current strength could defeat a Contra, so he might as well give up resistance.

Seeing that Cheng Xiao gave up his struggle, the man dodged to Cheng Xiao's side and grabbed Cheng Xiao's collar. Cheng Xiao's eyes blurred before he was thrown in front of the two girls.

"I have something to ask you. Why are you running?" The man smiled half-heartedly.

"Ha, haha. Senior is really good at joking." Cheng Xiao squatted down on his butt, grinned, stood up, patted his butt, and said awkwardly: "You are going to take me down if you don't agree with me, can I not run away?" Well? My elders have said that no one in the Star Forest can be trusted."

The man was noncommittal. The young man in front of him was right. He thought he was not a bad person, but since they were strangers to each other, it was normal for people to be a little defensive.

"Let me ask you, how long have you been hiding here?" the man asked.

Why ask this? Cheng Xiao couldn't figure out the other party's purpose for a while, so he said randomly: "It won't take more than half a day..."

"Half a day?" The man's eyes gradually became a little subtle. He raised his hand and pointed at the giant crystal tree in the distance that soared into the sky: "Then this tree was like this when you came here?"

Damn it! Cheng Xiao's heart skipped a beat, how should he answer?

Are you just following the other person's words and it's like this when he comes?

no!

You can't blame it on Crystal Bear, right? The Crystal Bear's ability to crystallize lasts for about one day. You can roughly calculate it by waiting until the next day! What's more, there are no traces of soul beast activities nearby. If there are soul beasts here, how can I be safe hiding here before? There are holes everywhere!

Tell the truth?

Do you think you have too many hands?

He wasn't even sure whether the external soul bone was completely fused. If it was only absorbed initially like Tang San, he could cut off his hand and snatch it away!

Externally attached soul bones are more precious than the other six soul bones. The soul master's desire for externally attached soul bones is only slightly less than a hundred thousand year soul ring, and Contra is no exception!

Even if the other party is not interested, doesn’t he still have two daughters? The left metacarpal bone matches the Netherworld Thorn, and it looks like a perfect match just thinking about it!

It's not okay to tell lies, but it's even more dangerous to tell the truth!

In the flash of lightning, Cheng Xiao's mind was spinning wildly. He suddenly thought of the seven people he had killed and almost blurted out: "No, this was done by my elders."

"Elder?" The man raised his eyebrows.

"We encountered a three-thousand-year-old crystal bear before. After the elders killed it, they got a right arm bone!"

Cheng Xiao's thoughts changed quickly and he raised his left hand, which was full of blood: "Then a Dreadclaw Bear suddenly rushed out and attacked us. The stones it shot injured me. As a last resort, my elders took me to hide here to heal my injuries. Then my seventh uncle absorbed the right arm bone and when he tried the soul bone skill, he crystallized this tree."

"Right arm bone?" The man glanced at Cheng Xiao's left hand and rubbed his chin. He always felt that he had missed something: "Where is your elder? Why are you left alone here?"

"My elders said that the Dreadclaw Bear was crazy, and they went to find out the truth. Let me hide here."

Zhu Zhuyun sneered: "That's not what you said just now. Didn't you take the first step and let you follow? Now it turns into letting you hide here?"

Zhu Zhuqing folded his forearms and leaned against a nearby tree with a cold face. He looked at Cheng Xiao coldly without saying anything, like an ice sculpture without any warmth.

Cheng Xiao glanced at the man, then glanced at the two sisters and others, and then murmured in a low voice: "Isn't it because you have a large number of people? I'm just a soul master, how dare I compete with you for space?"

"..." That's right.

The man pondered for a moment, but still did not dispel his doubts, and then said: "Just stay here, nothing will happen. You are just a soul master. It is not safe to go out alone. It seems that we are overbearing. Wait for your elders to come back to pick you up." Leave again!”

Are you truly kind? Or do you want to wait for the "elder" to come back and take the right arm bone? Cheng Xiao was not sure, so he had to be on guard against others.

But there was no room for Cheng Xiao to refuse. If he really showed that he was in a hurry to leave, he might immediately betray him. A little soul master rushes into the dangerous forest, but everything seems wrong!

"Thank you, senior." After doing many things and making many mistakes, Cheng Xiao chose to lie down and do as he pleased.

"Father, you show your kindness again." Zhu Zhuyun curled his lips and muttered.

The man glared at Zhu Zhuyun slightly reproachfully but also fondly.

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Zhuyun tilted his head, stretched, and his two wisps of crisp white made him look even more fierce. Then he pointed to the opposite side and said, "This is ours, that's your place, don't come over here if you have nothing to do!"

Cheng Xiao shrugged, stayed away from them, and rested aside. Only then did he have time to pay more attention to Zhu Zhuqing, who had been silent.

Compared with Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing is much shorter, but his stature is not much inferior. His temperament is colder, with long black hair hanging around his shoulders and cold white skin, adding a bit of coldness.

She always stayed alone, never talked or showed the slightest emotion, and her frosty look was enough to make anyone who wanted to get close to her stay away.

Is this the one who practices the hardest among the Shrek Seven Monsters?

In the original work, this girl was born with seven levels of soul power, but she reached level 27 when she entered Shrek more than five years later. Her cultivation was not unpleasant. Without some perseverance, it would be difficult to achieve this level of cultivation speed.

It's a pity that no matter how hard you practice, you can't catch up with her sister. Zhu Zhuyun has practiced seven years more than her and is probably at level 40 now. The first-mover advantage cannot be changed by hard work.

Cheng Xiao was thinking about it when suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to feel something. He turned his head and his eyes immediately met Cheng Xiao's.

Still so cold, with his eyes never moving away, Zhu Zhuqing looked directly at Cheng Xiao, but did not question him.

Cheng Xiao was defeated, and the corner of his mouth twitched, showing a hint of apology, and then his eyes wandered away.

Time passed by bit by bit, and Cheng Xiao went through what had just happened many times in his mind, realizing that there were no obvious loopholes in his words.

Lies can be easily exposed, but half-truths can deceive people. Those words of his should stick around for a while.

It's just that the further time goes by, the greater the possibility of problems.

After all, he had no so-called "elder", so how could he wait until someone came back to pick him up?

After thinking for a long time, Cheng Xiao gradually showed an anxious and impatient look, looking outside from time to time.

Zhu Mo, the father of the Zhu sisters, has been observing Cheng Xiao's every move. When Cheng Xiao showed anxiety, he turned thoughtful, raised the corners of his mouth, and began to take a nap with his eyes closed.

When night fell, the bonfire was lit. The Zhu family set up several tents and took turns keeping people awake. Cheng Xiao also set up the tents, but looked anxious and couldn't fall asleep.

Until late at night, Cheng Xiao took this opportunity to say hello to the night watchman and tentatively walked outside. His face was gloomy and he was hesitating whether to take the opportunity to escape. Now it was just right...

"You want to escape?"

Suddenly, a cold voice like an ice fountain sounded from behind.

Cheng Xiao was so startled that he was almost scared out of his wits. He suddenly turned around and saw Zhu Zhuqing standing not far behind him, his eyes cold.

"Hey, what are you doing? Do you know that people are scary, scary to death? You almost scared me out of my mind." Especially since I have so many dirty thoughts in my heart...

Cheng Xiao was furious, but also a little lucky. Fortunately, he had just hesitated for a while, otherwise the girl would have exposed herself before she even revealed her secrets by yelling.

"I'll just come out and relieve myself! Why are you running away? I didn't do anything, so why should I run away?"

Zhu Zhuqing did not respond and tilted his head, as if thinking about the authenticity of Cheng Xiao's words.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had no follow-up, Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then feigned anger: "What? Why are you still doing this? Do you still want to see it!?"

When Zhu Zhuqing heard this, he immediately turned around and went back.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiao wiped the slight beads of sweat on his forehead and actually peed, but he didn't dare to think about escaping anymore.

After being frightened for a while, his mind became extremely clear.

Even if he ran away, he wouldn't be able to escape very far. A bunch of agility and attack-type soul masters would chase him back even if he ran for a quarter of an hour. It seemed like they were letting him go freely, but there weren't really many choices he could make.

Cheng Xiao went back to the tent.

Early the next morning, Cheng Xiao put away the tent early. After Zhu Mo came out, he came to him and respectfully raised his hands: "Thank you for your protection yesterday. My elder has not returned for a day. I'm afraid something happened." I can't sit still here anymore and want to go find them, so I came here to say goodbye to my seniors."

Zhu Mo twisted his slightly stiff neck and said: "Just in time, we are also preparing to leave. It is not safe for you alone, so why not go all the way. It would be better if you can meet your elders in the forest. If not, wait for us to hunt them. After arriving at the soul beast, I will take you out."

Cheng Xiao's expression froze, so kind? If he were not in the Star Forest, Cheng Xiao would have doubted whether he had traveled through time again and arrived in a beautiful world of mutual help.

"Yes. Thank you, senior."

Of course Zhu Mo would not be so kind, but only he himself knows what he is thinking...

After everyone packed up, they walked towards the mixed area of ​​​​the Star Forest.

Along the way, Zhu Mo did not go on a rampage relying on the strength of Soul Douluo. Instead, he was quite careful and cautiously avoided various soul beasts.

Logically speaking, with his strength, this is not necessary. Unless a soul beast is more than 80,000 years old, it will be difficult to pose a great threat to him.

Zhu Mo pointed as he walked, teaching his two daughters by words and deeds, telling them some things they needed to pay attention to when entering the Star Dou Forest.

"If you are not strong enough, you must be careful. Before you meet the target, hide if you can, and don't kill the soul beasts along the way. If the blood aura becomes stronger, it is easy to provoke more powerful soul beasts. There is really no way out. Hide, if you are targeted by the soul beast, it will not be too late to kill you..." Zhu Mo warned his two daughters.

"I know, dad." Zhu Zhuyun nodded, but judging from her slightly frivolous tone, it was obvious that he didn't take it to heart.

Zhu Zhuqing was still so deserted, just nodding silently and not saying anything.

Cheng Xiao silently watched this scene of a loving father and a filial daughter. His expression moved and fell on Zhu Zhuqing's slightly lonely back. He couldn't help but curse: "This father deserves it, but he is a little too partial."

When Zhu Mo taught them, his eyes fell more on his eldest daughter Zhu Zhuyun. Zhu Zhuqing was like a foil and didn't pay much attention to her.

It's no wonder that Zhu Zhuyun is seventeen years old and in his forties. His talent is not to say top-notch, but it's really good. If nothing else happens, the eldest daughter will definitely be the future Queen Xingluo, and it will be difficult for Zhu Zhuqing to turn defeat into victory.

There is nothing wrong with being biased.

In the middle of the journey, everyone stopped for a rest. Cheng Xiao took the opportunity to go to the river to fetch water. When he came back, he pinched his stiff cheeks and immediately pretended to be excited and went to Zhu Mo: "Senior, I, My elders are probably nearby! I want to find them!"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Cheng Xiao quickly took out something: "I just saw this thing by the river. This is my uncle Dai's thing!"

"Oh?" Zhu Mo took it and it turned out to be a Wuhun Palace mercenary token.

Suddenly an idea flashed in Zhu Mo's mind, and he seemed to remember something and asked, "What is your elder's name?"

"My uncle Dai is Dai Chong, and I am a soul sect. There are seven people in our team..."

Both parties had introduced themselves before when they were hired, so Cheng Xiao said it without any pause.

If the purpose of telling the martial souls was not too obvious, Cheng Xiao wished he could tell Zhu Mo about the martial spirits of Dai Chong and others to increase their credibility.

"Let's go and look for him." Zhu Mo stood up, not even planning to rest.

Then, Zhu Mo spread the crowd out to look for people, and they moved forward at an extremely slow speed.

After a while, the people who had dispersed came back one after another, shaking their heads to express that they had not found it. Suddenly someone came back and went directly to Zhu Mo and whispered a few words.

"Really?" Zhu Mo narrowed his eyes.

The man bowed and said that he did not dare to speak nonsense.

Zhu Mo's eyes fell on Cheng Xiao, but he only saw Cheng Xiao's expectant face, frowning, and he said: "Lead the way."

"Senior, have you found my elders?" Cheng Xiao pretended to be surprised.

Zhu Mo was silent.

Under the leadership of that person, the route was no longer aimless, but headed straight in the direction where Cheng Xiao had ambushed Dai Chong and others.

The closer he got, the faster Cheng Xiao's heart beat. Success or failure depended on this, but he knew that this was the most critical moment and he couldn't reveal any flaws, so he forced himself to calm down and look excited and eager.

It’s quite a test of acting skills. Cheng Xiao feels that in her previous life, she should have gone to film school.

Suddenly, Cheng Xiao seemed to feel something. He raised his head and his eyes collided with Zhu Zhuqing's cold eyes. The eyes were so straight that Zhu Zhuqing didn't look away for a long time. The obsidian eyes were like cat's eyes in the dark. He was terrified.

For some reason, Cheng Xiao's heart trembled, and he had a ridiculous feeling of "being seen through by this girl." He was so worried that he didn't dare to look at each other anymore, and looked away as if nothing had happened.

"Calm down, calm down! She has a face of ice! It's impossible to see through it!" Cheng Xiao kept comforting himself, putting the piercing eyes out of his mind.

When we finally arrived at the place, what we saw was a mess. Several corpses could hardly be seen intact. The body of the crystal bear was gone. Cheng Xiao held his breath and was overjoyed.

It’s time to show off your acting skills!

Cheng Xiao's face turned pale as if he had been struck by lightning. He staggered and threw himself on a bitten and mutilated corpse. Tears burst out of his eyes, and then the sound of wailing resounded through the forest.

"Uncle Qi, you died so miserably!"

A person came to Zhu Mo and respectfully handed the collected items to Zhu Mo: "The mercenaries registered in Wuhun Palace, the captain is Dai Chong, and the identities of the other people are... They should have been ambushed, and there are others Dao, it looks like he is a veteran of blackmail."

"Have you found it?" Zhu Mo's eyes were as bright as lightning.

The man shook his head: "No, there is a corpse whose right arm is missing."

The comments made me lose my confidence. I overturned it several times, alas. I don’t know if I can satisfy you.

The mercenary's treasure hunt is to pave the way for this. In fact, it is to attract the Zhu Zhuqing sisters and then do some interaction. After all, the Douluo heroine is still a very important seasoning. I didn’t expect that there would be people who wouldn’t accept it.

I have been doubting myself all day long, and I feel so difficult...

When no one is around, I worry that my writing is not good enough and no one will read it.

Sometimes, when I see negative reviews, I doubt myself.

My mentality is so bad, the newbie has no confidence at all, _(:з」∠)_If the writing is not good, please forgive me.

This is a 4,000-word chapter, two in one.
