Douluo: The narration was modified and the plot began to collapse.

Chapter 23 Entering the Soul Hunting Forest

Outside the Soul Hunting Forest, four people were already waiting in a carriage.

In Nottingham, horse-drawn carriages are a means of transportation that only rich people can own. Ordinary people who want to travel far can only hope to get a ride from a passing caravan. So it can be judged that these four people are all rich people or come from big families.

Among the four, there were two young people, a boy and a girl. The boy had a somewhat rebellious look in his eyes, while the girl stood casually and seemed to be an extrovert. Both of them were around twelve years old, which was barely adulthood in Douluo Continent.

The other two were middle-aged men, one had a calm demeanor and the other was a bit fierce. They seemed to be the bodyguards of the two young men.

Seeing that they met the description, Bai Yu walked over, showed the badge of Notting College, and said with a smile:
"Hello, I'm Bai Yu. Are you from the Su family?"

The four of them were stunned when they saw Bai Yu. The young man asked in disbelief:
"You? Little brat? No way, I thought Notting Academy would send a sixth grader to assist us kids. What grade are you in?"

Bai Yu understood instantly that these guys looked down on him because of his young appearance!
Well, Nottingham College should have only told them my name and not my other information. If I had applied for the first year, they would definitely be surprised, but they might have thought that I had no experience and canceled the task.

But if I said I was a senior, they would definitely be skeptical. How could a senior student be so short?

Bai Yu thought about it and said with a smile:

"My grade is not important. What's important is that I'm a first-level weapon spirit master, an auxiliary spirit master. That meets your requirements, doesn't it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu revealed his martial soul, and his hundred-year soul ring emerged. Coupled with the sacred aura of the Human Emperor Banner, the four people were overjoyed.

"Yeah, it doesn't matter what grade you are in, as long as you meet the requirements!"

The young man was delighted and introduced:
"My name is Su Lin, this is my girlfriend Chen Mei, and these two are Uncle Li and Uncle Huang, they are guests of our family."

Su Lin pointed at the fierce man and said:

"This is Uncle Li, level 16."

He pointed at the calm man again:

"This is Uncle Huang, level 21."

Bai Yu nodded. One was level 21 leading the team and the other was level 15 supporting. They looked ordinary, but they were already very strong in a small city like Nottingham.

According to the system of Douluo Continent, the strong are either teachers of the academy or people from the sect. Although there are families behind the seven major sects, the sects are still the main ones to the outside world, such as Haotian Sect and Qibao Liuli Sect. Therefore, generally speaking, the sects> top families> academies> general families.

Although the Su family is also a big family in Notting City, Notting City is a small city after all. How big can the big families here be?
The Su family has at most one or two Soul Masters who also have to look after the house and the yard. How can they have the time to come out and protect the Dao?

Bai Yu exchanged information with the four people, and Su Lin said:

"I have two main purposes for entering the Soul Hunting Forest this time. The first is to find a suitable soul ring for my girlfriend Chen Mei, and the second is to find a material that I can use."

Before Su Lin finished speaking, Bai Yu frowned and said:

"Wait a minute, the mission log says that you are just looking for a spirit ring, why is there an additional mission now?"

Su Lin explained:
"After all, two and a half months have passed, so it's normal to have some new developments."

"No, the only mission I've accepted is to help you find your spirit ring."

Bai Yu firmly denied it.

Su Lin frowned. At this time, Chen Mei said impatiently:

"You'll get double your pay, okay?"

After that, she pulled Su Lin aside and whispered:
"It was not easy to find an auxiliary department that meets the requirements. Just give him a little more money. He is from Notting College and is more reliable than the others."

Su Lin nodded. That was true. After all, Bai Yu was from Notting College and was much more reliable than those wild soul masters.

While the two were talking, Bai Yu was also thinking, Chen Mei could use the Su family's money at will, and the Su family was willing to hunt for spirit rings for her, so could these two be getting engaged soon?
Well, although it's none of my business, there's no harm in gathering more information.

After they agreed on the reward, Su Lin led the way into the Soul Hunting Forest.

As one of the big families in Notting City, the Su family can naturally enter and exit the Soul Hunting Forest freely.

The group entered the Soul Hunting Forest at 10 a.m. and searched until 5 p.m. without finding anything. Uncle Huang looked at the position of the sun and said, "Everyone, find a place to spend the night. We are tired after searching all day. Let's take a break and continue searching tomorrow morning."

Everyone nodded, knowing that this task could not be completed in one day, so they took out their tools and found an open place to set up camp.

Su Lin took out a thing from the package, and then he operated it, and the thing was slowly disassembled into a tent!
Chen Mei did the same thing, and Bai Yu then discovered that the two tents could be combined into one large tent.

They even sleep together overnight, they are indeed a couple who are about to get married. And this tent doesn't look cheap, they must be rich. If I could explain the source of my huge fortune with my identity, I would have changed myself into a billionaire long ago.

Bai Yu thought so.

Uncle Huang looked at Bai Yu and said:
"Lao Li and I will take turns keeping watch tonight, but we don't have any extra tents."

Bai Yu smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter."

Now that he has entered the Soul Hunting Forest, he will not be picky about the environment in such a place, not to mention that there is no point in being picky.

After everyone set up their tents and had dinner, Uncle Huang leaned against a tree and fell asleep. He was stronger than Uncle Li, so he was the one guarding the second half of the night, so he naturally had to take a break.

The remaining four people sat in front of the campfire and chatted. Of course, Bai Yu mainly listened to Su Lin, the community leader, bragging about everything, and then gathered some reasonable information about the forces in Notting City from his bragging.

Occasionally he would say a word or two, but they were all meaningless.

At this time, Bai Yu felt a little hungry and was about to take out some dry food when Chen Mei opposite him suddenly opened a box of pastries and started eating them with Su Lin.

Bai Yu could tell at a glance that these were exquisite pastries made by a pastry shop in Nottingham City. They were very expensive, and he usually couldn't bear to eat them anyway.

They are a wealthy family, as they bring expensive pastries with them when they come to the Soul Hunting Forest. Bai Yu took out his rough dry food and prepared to fill his stomach, when Chen Mei suddenly handed him two pastries.

Bai Yu was stunned, and Chen Mei said:

"We are teammates now."

Bai Yu thanked them and took the pastry. Chen Mei and Su Lin had already eaten it, so he did not hesitate and gently put the pastry into his mouth. The sweet cream melted in his mouth, giving Bai Yu some comfort after a tiring day.

"Not bad, very delicious."

Bai Yu silently evaluated in his heart.

After eating, time passed slowly as everyone chatted. At ten o'clock in the evening, Su Lin and Chen Mei got into their sleeping bags. Uncle Li looked at Bai Yu and said:

"Young man, you go to sleep too. I'll watch over the first half of the night."

Bai Yu nodded, but he didn't completely trust Uncle Li, so he didn't plan to sleep.

Anyway, there is enough soul power in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to replenish at any time, so it’s okay for him to not sleep for a night or two.

Therefore, Bai Yu leaned against a tree, half-closed his eyes, seemingly half asleep, but actually aware of the situation around him at all times.

One hour passed, two hours passed, and it was twelve o'clock. Uncle Li felt sleepy and couldn't help yawning.

However, he had to wait until one o'clock to relieve Lao Huang's shift, so he had to hold on for another hour.

However, at this moment, a black shadow as fast as lightning suddenly attacked from a big tree not far behind him and bit Uncle Li's neck fiercely!

Uncle Li felt his hair stand on end, and he quickly pounced to the side like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey, barely avoiding the sneak attack.

Fortunately, he has rich experience in fighting. Other soul masters of the same level might not be able to dodge it!

At the same time, Bai Yu stood up and shouted:
"There are enemies!"

The next moment, Uncle Huang woke up instantly and saw the evil beast that attacked Lao Li.

It was a black mamba snake, about fifty years old, equivalent to a level 20 human soul master.

　I saw some book friends talking about the age of soul beasts corresponding to the level of soul masters. I also want to understand it, but the original book has too many settings. Some hundred-year soul beasts can fight soul masters, but some hundred-year soul masters can only fight great soul masters. I searched online and found many different opinions. There is no unified standard, so I can only use vague values. Of course, if I have changed the settings, book friends are welcome to correct me.
