Soul Land: Power Of Space - 48. A Familiar Place
Early in the morning, sunlight filtered through the dense, large leaves, creating patches of dappled light.
Squeak!
Emerging from its nest, a proud large yellow squirrel stood on a thick branch. It waved its paw, and six or seven small yellow squirrels scurried out from a tree hole.
However, these cubs clearly didn’t understand the concept of modesty and ended up getting stuck in some narrow openings.
Without a word, the large yellow squirrel used its paw to push two of them back, allowing the remaining cubs to escape.
This situation reminded the cultivated yellow squirrel, who had lived for thousands of years, that it needed to consider finding a larger and more spacious tree hole. Otherwise, once the cubs entered their growth period, the nest they built would become overcrowded and uninhabitable.
It was different from the human world. In the Star Dou Great Forest, there weren’t many options for homeless soul beasts to choose from. They either had to find raw materials and build their own homes or find abandoned dwellings to occupy.
In short, reality was always cruel.
However, the large yellow squirrel still believed that as long as it worked hard, life would improve with each passing day.
As it looked at the familiar human in front of it, the yellow squirrel shook its little paws and nearly fell from the tree, barely managing to grip the branch. It wondered why this annoying creature had returned.
Instinctively, it wanted to run, but then it hesitated and quickly herded its cubs back into the tree hole. The yellow squirrel curled up into a ball, determined to block the entrance.
A big hand reached out and grabbed it.
The whole group erupted in tears of humiliation. The large yellow squirrel reluctantly accepted its fate of being caught and played with by the detestable human.
Resistance was futile. If it didn’t want to die, it was better not to resist.
Seemingly envisioning a horrific scene, the large yellow squirrel trembled and exposed its abdomen.
“Very cooperative, aren’t you?”
A silver light flashed as a finger with neatly trimmed nails gently pressed and scraped the yellow squirrel’s abdomen, very well, no need to die.
This idea flashed through the large yellow squirrel’s mind, and it tried its best to cooperate with the fingers, putting on a comfortable expression.
Spirit beasts couldn’t be tamed. However, if you made them feel your sincerity, they would naturally be tamed by you.
Lu Yuan believed in this principle and had been acting accordingly. Although his methods might be a bit extreme, they yielded surprisingly good results. Even after being away for more than a month, this Pikachu was still obedient to him. It proved that he had conquered this Pikachu!
Of course, Lu Yuan’s inner thoughts were unknown to this “Pikachu.”
“Do you know where the Man-faced Demon Spiders are?”
Man-faced Demon Spider? What sort of spider was that?
Upon hearing the question from the human in front of it, the yellow squirrel froze for a moment, and its small brain struggled to comprehend.
Human terms didn’t apply here. In the Star Dou Great Forest, human currency and rules held no sway. The names humans gave to some soul beasts couldn’t be used here. After all, most soul beasts were illiterate, and even if you gave them a spirit beast encyclopedia, they wouldn’t understand it.
However, Lu Yuan quickly realized this problem and changed his way of asking.
“The Man-faced Demon Spider is a large spider with a pattern resembling a human face on its stomach. Have you ever seen it?”
This creature was rare. Lu Yuan had lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for six years and had only encountered a handful of Man-faced Demon Spiders.
However, these small spirit beasts that had lived in the Star Dou Forest for many years must have seen the Man-faced Demon Spider more frequently than Lu Yuan, an outsider. By asking them, he could quickly find out the location of the Man-faced Demon Spider, provided these small spirit beasts could understand and cooperate.
Fortunately, this Pikachu not only had seen it before but also seemed willing to cooperate. It squeaked and gestured with its little paw, clearly trying to convey something.
Unfortunately, Lu Yuan couldn’t understand. Nevertheless, his cold gaze softened a little. At the same time, he silently contemplated whether to give this Pikachu a permanent place.
Naturally, the yellow squirrel had no idea what ideas Lu Yuan was contemplating. Otherwise, it would tearfully exclaim, “I serve you without asking for anything in return.”
“Show me the way.”
Lu Yuan lightly ordered, placing Pikachu on his left shoulder. With a sweep of his hand, he circled the large tree beneath his feet from bottom to top.
Glancing nostalgically at its cubs, the large yellow squirrel’s eyes flashed with determination. It pointed to the front-left direction with a wave of its small paw.
Lu Yuan’s figure disappeared silently on the spot.
The Predator had returned. Always let some old friends know. Don’t you agree?
An elite team halted at the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.
They were called the Elite team mainly because most of its members were above level 70, making them soul saints. Unfortunately, not all of them fit this description. Two quasi-soul sect members at level 40 and a spirit master at level 39 significantly lowered the average combat power of the team. Thankfully, the addition of two Title Douluo raised the average combat power once again.
One of the figures, dressed in a splendid elder’s robe adorned with numerous gems, couldn’t help but draw attention to his noble status. If it were an ordinary person, these soul saints would have already become exasperated with this flamboyant individual. However, they couldn’t ignore the fact that he was a titled Douluo.
Yueguan, titled “Chrysanthemum”!
In contrast, the other figure in a black robe was much more understated. Not only did he lack any embellishments, but he also wore light armor with black sapphires embedded beneath the black robe. It seemed that caution was ingrained in his every move.
Ghosts, titled “Ghost”!
The fact that these two powerful Title Douluo were personally involved would surely cause a stir in the world of spirit masters. Those opposed to the Spirit Hall would be on high alert. However, no one would have guessed that the reason for their journey was simply to eliminate a target.
“Nana, the Star Dou Forest is up ahead. Are you tired? Do you need to rest and replenish your spirit power?”
Xieyue wearily rubbed his forehead and turned his face away. He had a good relationship with Yan, but Yan’s excessive enthusiasm made it difficult for him to act like an older brother. Even if he wanted to provide support, he couldn’t do so at this moment. If nothing unexpected happened, his sister would refuse and scold him.
As Xieyue anticipated, Hu Liena responded coldly, “Firstly, please call me by my full name, Hu Liena, instead of Nana. Thank you. Secondly, I’m not tired, and I don’t need to replenish my spirit power. If you can’t keep up, you can drop out. I appreciate your concern, but there’s no need for it in the future.”
After a brief exchange, the team resumed their journey.
Yan caught up with Xieyue, wearing a contented expression. Xieyue reluctantly slowed his pace to match Yan’s and walked side by side.
“Nana said thank you to me. Tell me, do I stand a chance?” Yan’s face beamed with joy, oblivious to the fact that Hu Liena’s earlier statement was an attempt to create distance.
Xieyue’s expression turned cold, and he quickened his pace without even looking at Yan.
Useless teammate!. Hopeless!. Providing support is futile!
At the very least, you should understand the words before becoming a wolf warrior.
