Chapter 485 Demonic Tavern

"Lingling, what kind of soul beast are you going to hunt with your eighth soul ring? Do you have any plan in mind?" Qi Tian couldn't help but ask.

Ye Lingling expressed her guess, "I think the Seventh Test is to allow me to skip levels and absorb the Eighth Soul Ring. Normally, the life span of an Eighth Soul Ring is 50,000 years. If possible, my Eighth Soul Ring should be as close to 100,000 years as possible."

The physical fitness of auxiliary soul masters is too weak. Ye Lingling knows her own situation and does not blindly absorb the 100,000-year soul ring.

Qitian nodded slightly.

The three got off the carriage in front of an inn. They will stay in the city for the next few days to gather information.

The name of this city is Camp City, a small city in the central part of the Haoyang Empire.

When they arrived at this place, Qi Tian and the other two kept a low profile. You know, they were not from the Haoyang Empire, and their habits were different from those of the people here.

Currently, Lan Yue and Haoyang Empire are at war, and Qi Tian does not want to be regarded as a spy and attract other people's attention.

The decoration inside the hotel is very simple, and the city construction is much more backward than other cities in the Sun and Moon Continent.

After a little inquiry, Qi Tian found out that this was the first line of defense against the soul beast riots.

The soul beasts in the Demonic Forest would rush out of the forest and enter the human city every once in a while. In the Soul Beast Town, except for the soul masters who were preparing to enter the forest to hunt souls, everyone else was a scout of the Haoyang Empire.

Once the soul beasts rush out of the forest, this place will be the first line of defense against the invasion of soul beasts.

"Are you from other places?" The old man who told them the news couldn't help asking when he saw how Qi Tian and the others were dressed.

Qi Tian was not panicked and replied naturally: "We came from Binhai City and are going to enter the Demon Forest to hunt souls. We know nothing about the situation in the forest and we came here to gather information."

The old man was not surprised. "Three of you, I see you are still young, so you'd better not enter the Demonic Forest. The soul beasts there are very powerful. Without the strength of a Soul Emperor, you can't even protect yourself."

Qi Tian shrugged and said, "Old man, we need a guide or a topographical map of the forest. As for the safety issue, we have our own way."

The old man looked at Qi Tian carefully.

The other party's clothes are expensive, so I guess he has a strong man protecting him.

With this in mind, he explained, "The topographical map of the Demonic Forest is a secret of all the major families and royal families, and it is almost impossible to obtain it. However, if you want to find a guide, you can go to the Demonic Tavern in the city to ask. There are many desperate guys there, and they will help you as long as you can offer a good price."

"I think there will be many people willing to follow you into the Demonic Forest."

Qi Tian kept the old man’s words in mind, and then returned to the hotel with Ye Lingling.

"You'd better not go to places like the Demon Tavern to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were both women picked from thousands of people. Entering a tavern, a place full of all kinds of people, coupled with the effect of alcohol, it was inevitable that some people would have bad intentions towards them.

Qi Tian certainly has the ability to protect them, but if he offends these people, it will cause unnecessary trouble to the subsequent journey.

Ye Lingling and the other two were not unaware of the situation. When they heard Qi Tian's proposal, they immediately agreed.

……

Demonic Tavern.

This is a large pub, and once you enter it, you will immediately attract attention.

The way he was dressed was out of place among the other men here.

"Hey, where did you come from, young man? This is not the place for you." A man said provocatively with a smile.

Qi Tian ignored him and looked around at everything in the tavern.

A young man dressed as a waiter came over and asked, "Sir, what would you like to drink?"

Qi Tian knew that it was not easy to talk to the people here.

After thinking for a while, he said loudly: "I intend to enter the Demonic Forest, and I need someone to lead the way. 50,000 gold coins!"

After he finished speaking, many men put down their wine glasses and looked at Qi Tian with fiery eyes.

Fifty thousand gold coins is enough for them to drink here for the rest of their lives. Whoever takes this order will not have to worry about the rest of his life.

However, these people don’t know whether Qi Tian can come up with so much money. After all, words are not enough to prove it.

“Kid, who knows if you are talking nonsense here?” A big man picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Then he stood on the table and sneered, “The Demon Forest is not a place for you to go. Go back and drink milk as soon as possible! Hahaha!”

Suddenly, loud laughter broke out in the tavern.

Not everyone agreed with the man, some people also had something in mind.

You know, Qi Tian is well-dressed and is obviously a descendant of a wealthy family. Such a person would never speak nonsense.

Qi Tian's eyes flashed and he appeared behind the big man in a flash.

"How do you know my background?"

With a light snort, he stretched out his right hand, exerted a little force, and threw the big man directly out of the tavern.

There was an uproar.

The man thrown out by Qi Tian had the strength of a Soul Emperor. Could it be that Qi Tian's strength was even higher than that of a Soul Emperor?

"I just came here to find a guide. Since you are unwilling, then the 50,000 gold coins will have to be earned by others." After saying this, he walked out of the tavern with his head held high.

Many people in the tavern were attracted by the 50,000 gold coins he offered. But these people were not fools. If Qi Tian did not have the strength and insisted on entering the Demonic Forest, he would only be a burden to them.

What’s the point of having money if you have the life to make it but not the life to spend it?

But if Qi Tian has the ability to protect himself, then they only need to lead the way and they can get a reward of 50,000 gold coins. No one would think this deal is a loss.

After Qi Tian left the tavern, these big men openly accused Qi Tian and showed an attitude of disbelief. But behind the scenes, many of them had quietly slipped out of the tavern, hoping to get commissions from Qi Tian.

……

After leaving the tavern, Qi Tian did not walk far and stopped at an alley.

"Since you're here, why hide?" Qi Tian looked ahead calmly.

A thin man, using the shadows in the alley, quickly came behind Qi Tian.

"Since you can detect my presence, your strength must be above that of a Soul Sage. Do you take what you said in the tavern just now seriously?" the man said straight to the point.

Qi Tian noticed this man in the tavern.

The opponent's dark attribute martial spirit can use shadows or darkness to sneak. This kind of person is a natural assassin and scout, and I think he knows a lot about the Demon Forest.

Qi Tian did not answer, but asked: "So, you are willing to accept the commission?"

The man smoothed his bangs and laughed, "Of course. If you don't make money, you're a bastard. You should be able to see my ability. It's no exaggeration to say that no one in this city knows the situation in the Demon Forest better than me."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Ying, and I'm a level 67 Agility Attack Battle Soul Emperor."
