Douluo: Steadily Becoming Stronger in Shrek

Chapter 236 Soul Hunting Team
Hu Hu once again put his arm around Lin Chen's shoulders and said boldly, "It's okay, little brother. People should know how to be content. For us soul masters, the income from hunting a soul beast can equal the income of ordinary people for several years. It's their loss that they can't go to school. We just need to work hard to make money to fill our stomachs."

"Thank you, Brother Hu."

Just like Hu Hu said, they already earn much more money than ordinary people, so why bother about other things?
Sometimes, being content is also a source of happiness.

Hu Hu smiled and patted Lin Chen on the shoulder, then took out a large gourd from his waist and asked, "Would you like a drink?"

Lin Chen pinched his thumb and index finger together, "A little bit."

"Hahaha!"

Hu Hu took out a small cup from his tattered bag and filled it up for Lin Chen.

"Come on, do it!"

Li Xiu and Dali also joined in and started drinking some wine. Xing Jiang sat aside and watched them.

"This is a big order. It's for the Millennium Wall Blade Mantis that a prince from the Tianhun Empire needs to advance to Soul Master. He paid a full three thousand gold soul coins!" Li Xiu said.

When Lin Chen heard this, a trace of disdain flashed through his mind.

Any spirit master who needs a spirit ring would hunt it himself, or at most bring a team with him. However, this sponsor hired people to capture spirit beasts alive. Even if his cultivation level is improved, his strength will not improve. He will never become a strong man in the future. No strong man would obtain his spirit ring in this way. Which strong man has not experienced great storms? Didn't he crawl out of a pile of dead bodies?
After taking a sip of wine, he asked, "Brother Hu, when do we start?"

Hu Hu swallowed the wine in his mouth and said, "It's not urgent. The customer said he would need some time to get it back. We also have several orders for other hundred-year soul beasts. Here, take a look first."

Lin Chen took the papers handed over by Hu Hu and read them carefully.

“Required: a four-hundred-year-old blood vine.

Requirement: A seven hundred year old firebird.

Required: A nine hundred year old Thundering Hell Vine.

Wait, Thundering Hell Vine?"

Lin Chen handed the tiger skin paper with the Thundering Hell Vine on it to Hu Hu and asked, "Brother Hu, why did you take this job?"

Hu Hu looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? There's nothing wrong with the price. It's exactly the price of a 900-year-old soul beast. And the customer is willing to provide us with information. Why can't we accept it?"

The other three people also looked at Lin Chen with question marks on their faces.

“Soul beasts like the Thundering Hell Vine are extremely rare. There was a record of it once in the classics I’ve read. This soul beast is extremely rare and powerful, and can be said to be the one with the strongest attack power among plant soul beasts. Even compared with animal soul beasts, its attack power is among the best, and there are few soul beasts that can match it. This Thundering Hell Vine can no longer be considered a top-level soul beast, but a super soul beast. Although this person wants a nine-hundred-year-old Thundering Hell Vine, its difficulty is probably no less than that of a thousand-year-old soul beast.” Lin Chen replied.

Hearing what he said, the others were shocked.

"Brother Lin Chen, is everything you said true?" Li Xiu asked.

Lin Chen nodded.

"Looks like I'll have to pay more..." Li Xiu murmured.

What made Lin Chen a little surprised was that in this era of the peerless Tang Sect, there was still the Thundering Hell Vine. What was even more terrifying was why the person who asked Hu Hu to hunt the Thundering Hell Vine knew its location?

If you don’t think about it, you won’t know. Once you think about it, you’ll be shocked!

"More money? You still want to take this order? Do you want to live?" Xing Jiang looked at Li Xiu angrily and said.

"What are you afraid of? It's not like we haven't fought against thousand-year soul beasts before. Besides, we have Brother Hu here, and now Brother Lin Chen is coming in. Isn't it easy to defeat a thousand-year soul beast?"

"You... Humph!" Xing Jiang was so angry that she couldn't speak. "Da Li, what do you think?" Hu Hu asked.

Although Dali looks sturdy, he usually doesn't talk much and always contributes silently to this small team.

"I always listen to the captain." Dali said.

"Lin Chen, what about you?"

"I just got here, so I'd better listen to the captain."

Lin Chen naturally didn't care. With his cultivation level, it was a simple matter for him to deal with a nine-hundred-year-old Thundering Hell Vine.

Hu Hu looked at Li Xiu and Xing Jiang arguing and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

As the captain, he cannot joke with the lives of his teammates.

After a while, Hu Hu sighed and said, "We won't do this order anymore."

There was no change on Dali and Lin Chen's faces. Xing Jiang showed a look of relief, while Li Xiu was a little disappointed.

No one can resist money, and soul masters are not aloof people.

"Okay, then we'll take the order from Bloodvine. Let's go!"

Hu Hu stood up, and everyone else stood up as well, following Hu Hu towards the Soul Hunting Market.

The Soul Hunting Market was very close to them, and they arrived there in less than ten minutes.

This is mainly for professional soul hunting teams to aggregate some customers' demand orders and release them. Each soul hunting team can get the news and choose whether to accept it or not. Of course, this is not in vain. Each soul hunting team needs to pay 10% of the total remuneration to the soul hunting market.

If the Soul Hunting Team has its own channels, then the Soul Hunting Market will not interfere, but the Sky Soul Empire was inherited from ten thousand years ago after all, so most of the channels are already firmly in their hands.

Walking to the counter, Hu Hu took out the paper with the blood vine and handed it to the receptionist at the front desk.

"We've accepted this order."

However, the sexy lady at the counter said, "I'm sorry, soul masters, this order has been taken by another soul hunting team, and the employer has already set off with them."

Except for Lin Chen, the faces of everyone in Hu Hu's team turned ugly.

"Soul Master, would you like to take a look at this? This is a 700-year-old firebird. No one has taken up this order yet, and the employer happens to be here right now. Would you like to take a look at it...?"

"This..." Hu Hu was in a dilemma for a moment.

"Captain, take it. It's only been seven hundred years. It's not like we can't defeat them." Li Xiu said confidently.

"Brother Lin Chen, can you do it?" Hu Hu asked Lin Chen.

Lin Chen nodded, "Okay."

Hu Hu also made up his mind and said firmly: "Okay, we will take this order!"

The girl at the counter immediately smiled and said to everyone, "Okay! I'll arrange for you to meet the employer right away."

Everyone nodded and followed the girl at the counter upstairs. After passing through floor after floor, they arrived at the fifth floor and met the employer who was looking for the 700-year-old Firebird.
