Chapter 178 The turmoil before the checkpoint
"It's unbelievable, it's still unbelievable. The fact that the three of them can become a soul sect overnight must have something to do with Bai Yu. We have to find an opportunity to let Bai Yu help you become a soul sect."
On the way to the Star Dou Forest, Snake Woman whispered to Meng Yiran.
Meng Yiran was a little embarrassed and said with a slightly red face:
"Grandma, as you said, it's still too early for me to become a Soul Sect."
The snake woman hates that iron cannot be made into steel:
"Why is it so early? Don't you still have the fairy grass he gave you? If you eat it, you will be able to reach level 39 directly. Bai Yu must have a way for you to break through the Soul Sect."
Meng Yiran was a little hesitant. She took Bai Yu's fairy grass. She felt a little guilty in the first place and always felt she owed him. Now her grandma asked her to go to Bai Yu to find a way to break through the Soul Sect, which made her feel like she was in debt.
At the same time, Xiao Wu who was walking in front was thinking frantically about countermeasures.
She doesn't need to hunt soul beasts to generate a soul ring on her own, but with so many people around her, it's impossible for her to reveal her identity on the spot. So she had to find a way to act alone for a while, but she couldn't figure out how.
At this time, Ning Rongrong saw her worried look and couldn't help but ask:
"Xiao Wu, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Wu came back to her senses, shook her head and said:
"Nothing. By the way, Rongrong, what kind of soul beast do you want for your fourth soul ring?"
Ning Rongrong's attention was diverted, she thought for a moment and said:
"My father told me that my fourth soul skill should focus on improving defense, so I want to find a soul beast with stronger defense to absorb the soul ring."
After saying that, Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked:
"Zhuqing, what about you?"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. She hadn't thought about it yet. She would just take it one step at a time.
At this time, Liu Erlong turned around and said:
"It's hard to find soul beasts with high defense. Everyone should be patient. Buy some more things in the town before entering the forest. Make plans to stay in the forest for a few more days."
Everyone nodded.
Soon, they came to a small town, which was the only way from Blazing Academy to Star Dou Forest. After leaving this small town, there were no human settlements, so most of them went to Star Dou Forest from this direction. All the soul masters in the forest will stay here.
Everyone split up and purchased some necessities in the town, then gathered and headed towards the Star Forest. However, at the other end of the town, they were stopped.
On the only way from the small town to the Star Dou Forest, a group of soldiers set up checkpoints and questioned every soul master who entered the Star Dou Forest.
Liu Erlong and others looked confused, what is going on?
Bai Yu reacted the fastest, stopped a passerby, and asked sincerely:
"Brother, please tell me what's going on."
As he asked, he took out a small bag of gold soul coins.
At first the passerby didn’t want to pay attention to him, but when he saw the bag of gold soul coins, his eyes lit up and he said:
"This is a checkpoint set up by Wuhun Palace to search for those fugitives who have escaped into the Star Dou Forest. Oh, let me tell you, how many fugitives can enter the Star Dou Forest and still come out alive? It's just to collect more. Just some money."
After speaking, he said with a wary look:
"Aren't you from Wuhun Palace?"
Bai Yu smiled:
"How is that possible? I really want to go. The Spirit Hall doesn't look down on a spirit master like me."
The passerby breathed a sigh of relief, took the gold soul coin, and reminded:
"That's good. If you, a big group of people, want to go in here, you will probably have to pay a large amount of money. You have to be mentally prepared."
Bai Yu asked:
"Can't we go another way?"
"Hey, if it were possible, would there still be so many people lining up here? The other roads are very difficult to walk, dangerous and far away. Okay, I have something else to do, let's go!"
After the passerby left, Bai Yu looked at Liu Erlong and said:
"Teacher Erlong, what should we do now?"
Liu Erlong pondered for a moment and said:
"I have a token from the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family here, and the Wuhun Palace should give me some face. But I guess I can only bring one or two people in, and the others."
In fact, it was not impossible to pay, but she was used to saving money for the college and was reluctant to part with the money.
Bai Yu smiled and said:
"Just pay, it's okay, our college doesn't need the money."
Liu Erlong was speechless:
"You know, it's not easy to make money, you know? Even for a soul saint like me, money is never enough, because the stronger you are, the more places you have to spend money."
Bai Yu smiled, I'm really not short of money, I can get whatever I want.
But since Liu Erlong wanted to save some money, he couldn't say that his money was inexhaustible.
Everyone lined up behind the crowd and prepared to enter the Star Forest. However, suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the team.
A young man became angry and said:
"Asshole, didn't I tell you that we are all from the Feijian Sect. This is the sect's token. Why do you still want to collect money from two people?"
The captain of the guard said neither humble nor haughty:
"You and your partner are indeed from the Feijian Sect, but the two following you may not necessarily be from the Feijian Sect as well."
The young man was shocked and angry. He was surprised that the people from Wuhun Palace had a way to verify their identities. He was angry because he didn't have any face at all.
He said harshly:
"I said yes, will you let us in?"
"Please don't make things difficult for us. We are also following orders."
"What if I have to come in?"
The young man was furious, but the captain of the guards did not force him to do so for the sake of the Feijian Sect behind him. Instead, he continued to lower his posture and said:
"This is the order of the Spirit Hall. I am just a small captain and cannot change the order."
He had given him a lot of face, but the young man was still aggressive and even wanted to force his way through the checkpoint.
However, at this moment, a snake spear was thrown from the sky, instantly piercing the young man's chest, and then pierced into the ground. The young man's body was hanging on it, and the anger and fear on his face solidified together.
Frightened by the sudden mutation, the soul masters who were queuing up screamed and fled.
Although there were some soul masters and soul sects among them, most of them were below level 30. Seeing this scene, it was inevitable to be frightened.
The next second, a figure fell from the sky and said loudly:
"I am the elder of the Spirit Hall. Those who trespass the checkpoint will die! The rest of you don't have to panic. As long as you abide by the rules, the Spirit Hall will never embarrass you!"
With his comfort, the situation on the scene stabilized a little.
Liu Erlong looked at the man with a serious expression.
"Snake Spear Douluo, the elder of the Spirit Hall."
She introduced him to everyone around her in a low voice, and when they heard that he was a Titled Douluo, Snake Lady, Meng Yiran, and Zhu Zhuqing all showed surprised expressions.
"A Titled Douluo would actually come to a small town like this to maintain order?"
Snake Lady was a little unbelievable.
Bai Yu almost couldn't hold back his laughter beside him.
He could probably guess that Snake Spear Douluo would appear here to search for Tang Hao and Tang San.
But he was actually sent to patrol, which was really a bit miserable.
Snake Spear Douluo came and went in a hurry, but after he left, no one dared to make trouble again. Everyone paid the money honestly to pass through, and everyone was even a little polite.
After paying the money, Bai Yu and his party left the town smoothly and soon entered the Xingdou Great Forest.
