Chapter 103 The evil soul master appears (first update)

In the dense forest, the trees are deep, the light is dim, and the entire forest is very humid. The ground is covered with a layer of fallen leaves, many of which have rotted and exude a faint odor.

If he were to stay where he was, the smell would probably be pleasant enough.

So after Shailene discovered the clearing.

Under Xie Lin's guidance, everyone avoided the soul beasts along the way, and finally, led by Shi Yue, arrived at the clearing pointed by Xie Lin.

In this open space, there were no trees growing around, leaving a clearing.

Because there are no trees above the head, the sun can shine directly.

Although the light wasn't that great due to the lush trees surrounding it, it was just about noon, so it was just right.

"Okay, let's take a rest here."

When he came to the open space, Shi Yue found a random place to sit down on the ground, and then called for others to sit down as well.

After sitting down, Shi Yue immediately took out his water bag and dry food and started eating.

"Captain Shi Yue, let's go hunting. Let's make a fire and roast something to eat. Just eat cold dry food. I can't eat it!"

After sitting down, he saw Shi Yue taking out the cold dry food and gnawing it with water. Lawrence also took out the dry food. After making up his mind for a while, Lawrence finally took a bite, but he couldn't help but reveal his With a bitter face, he turned his head and said sadly to Shi Yue.

On the side, Lin Ye couldn't help but frown when he heard Lawrence's words.

If you are really a noble, because you are used to living a pampered life at home, it is normal that you cannot eat cold and hard food when you go out to the wild.

This kind of aristocratic pretentiousness has been encountered by many drinkers in the tavern.

But the problem is, Lin Ye knows that the noble in front of him is not a real noble, but an evil soul master.

Therefore, it is very problematic for him to suddenly be unable to eat dry food.

Can't eat dry food, so you want to make a fire?

Lin Ye couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

If you want to light a fire, it seems that you are planning to use smoke to send a signal to the evil soul masters around you.

"Viscount Lawrence, aren't you anxious for us to hunt the soul beast for Eveli as soon as possible? Now we should rest as soon as possible and then continue to hunt for the soul beast. Now you suddenly want us to hunt for you. If you roast the prey and eat it, isn’t that a waste of time?”

After hearing what Viscount Lawrence said, Shi Yue put down the dry food in his hand and frowned at Viscount Lawrence.

"Hehe, um... Captain Shi Yue, this shouldn't be a waste of time. The main reason is that I really can't eat this cold and hard dry food. Captain Shi Yue, don't worry. After this mission is completed, we can go back. I’ll give you 20% more compensation, is that okay?”

Lawrence smiled apologetically at Shi Yue and said.

"Give us a 20% increase in remuneration?"

Hearing Lawrence's words, Shi Yue fell into a "struggle."

After a few seconds, Shi Yue still sighed, his face became solemn, and he said: "Viscount Lawrence, now you want us to hunt for you. Remember your words, don't forget to increase the reward when you go back!"

"Don't worry! Don't worry! I, Lawrence, always do what I say!"

Lawrence chuckled and waved his hand.

But seeing Shi Yue who was so "greedy for money", Lawrence sneered in his heart.

The people of the Soul Hunting Group are indeed greedy for money, but unfortunately, you may not be able to go back!

…

Because of Lawrence's request, Shi Yue sent Xie Lin and He Feng to hunt several prey for food in the Evernight Forest.

After Xie Lin and He Feng left, more than half an hour later, they finally returned with a few hares and a few fish.

The prey was caught, and at Lawrence's urging, Shi Yue had someone pick up some firewood and sticks to make a fire and skewer rabbits and fish.

"Hey, it's still too humid in the Evernight Forest, and the firewood has not been dried. When it burns, it will be full of thick smoke, which is really choking."

After piling the collected firewood and lighting it with flint and steel, Shi Yue couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the billowing smoke coming from the firewood.

"Haha, it's okay. I heard that smoked rabbit and grilled fish are also delicious."

Seeing the pile of firewood billowing with thick smoke, the smoke column rising straight into the sky, Lawrence smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum in full bloom.

At first glance, it seems that he is happy for the food that is coming.

But Lin Ye knew that the reason why this guy urged the soul hunting group to grill him was most likely to use this smoke column to notify the evil soul masters around him.

Now that the signal has been sent out, I don’t know when the evil soul master will come...

Lin Ye sat on the open ground, looked around, and thought to himself.

Although the firewood was a little damp and smoke billowed out after it was lit, the firewood still ignited.

The prepared gray hare and fish are being skewered on wooden sticks and grilled on a pile of firewood.

But it only took less than ten minutes to bake.

There was a sudden movement all around.

In the silent forest, there was suddenly a rustling sound of branches shaking, as well as the clicking sound of fallen leaves and dead branches being trampled.

Such a rhythmic and regular sound is definitely not something that a soul beast can produce.

As soon as they heard the strange movement, everyone in the Savage Bear Soul Hunting Group stood up from the ground and quickly organized their formation.

Everyone knows that the evil soul master is coming!

"Viscount Lawrence, something is coming over there. Hurry and hide behind us."

Although the evil soul master had already arrived, in order to prevent Lawrence from discovering the clues and asking the evil soul master who was about to arrive to evacuate midway, Shi Yue was still very immersed in his acting. He stared at the direction of the distant movement and said in a deep voice. reminded.

But because of the arrival of the evil soul master, Lawrence is obviously not ready to continue acting.

Hearing Shi Yue's words, Lawrence raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of joking, but he did not answer Shi Yue's words. Instead, he let the knight beside him protect him while slowly standing up.

"Haha! Hahaha!"

When he stood up, Lawrence suddenly burst into laughter. While laughing, he walked in the direction of the strange movement.

"Viscount Lawrence, come here quickly, there is danger over there!"

Shi Yue seemed to know nothing about Lawrence's abnormal movements. When he saw Viscount Lawrence's movements, he shouted with a solemn face.

"Captain Shi Yue, there's no need to shout, I'm awake."

Hearing Shi Yue's shouting, Lawrence retreated with his soul ring under the protection of a group of knights, with a strange smile on his face.

"But you guys are a little bit unconscious. Didn't the Wuhun Palace tell you that an evil soul master appeared in the Evernight Forest? You didn't listen, and you even accepted my mission and came to the Evernight Forest with me. Hehe, I can't help but If I don’t tell you, you have already entered the point of death!”

Lawrence said with a sly smile.

Behind him, black shadows and blood shadows suddenly emerged from the forest. In a few jumps, a group of black-robed and blood-robed men landed next to Lawrence.

"Huh? One Soul King, two Soul Sects, one Soul Lord, and two great Soul Masters? Thousand-faced Man, this time, the quality of the prey you brought back is of good quality!"

Standing next to Lawrence, a man in blood robe said with great satisfaction in a hoarse voice.

"As long as Lord Blood Bat is satisfied!"

Lawrence was very flattering about the Blood Bat's satisfaction.

"I haven't caught prey for a long time. I didn't expect to catch a few good-quality prey for the first time. This may be a good sign..."

While looking at Lin Ye and the others, Blood Bat said in a hoarse voice.

"Are you evil soul masters?"

While the blood bat was talking to itself, Lin Ye suddenly spoke calmly.

"Hehe, of course, don't you see it? Okay, we've seen the prey, it's time to catch them all!"

The blood bat showed a sinister smile, and then waved behind him.

Behind him, several men in black robes and blood robes rushed out at the same time.
