Beast Hunting Forest

Chapter 21 Beast Hunting Forest

He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, we have one condition: if we help you obtain the spirit rings, then it has nothing to do with them."

Song Baiyu turned to look at Ye Jingqiu with a smug expression and said, "You don't need to worry about the soul rings. I'm confident that I can help you obtain the hundred-year soul rings in the Beast Hunting Forest that are most compatible with your martial souls."

Ye Jingqiu narrowed his eyes slightly. Something was wrong. Song Baiyu's tone was too confident. He was obviously very sure. Even if it was a soul beast that had been raised in captivity, Song Baiyu shouldn't be so relaxed.

She must have some other tricks up her sleeve.

"And how about I give each of you three hundred gold soul coins?" Song Baiyu sneered and said, "Three hundred gold soul coins is not a small amount for you lower classes. Some people may never have that much money in their entire lives."

Upon hearing this, a hint of panic flashed across Hu Liena's face. She looked up at Shuang Zuozuo and Shuang Youyou. At this moment, the task and the task target had been assigned. If Shuang Zuozuo and Shuang Youyou chose to agree to Song Baiyu's conditions, it would mean that their task had failed.

Song Baiyu looked arrogant and looked down on everyone. She was certain that the two of them would be blinded by the conditions she offered. She curled her lips slightly and looked at Ye Jingqiu with a teasing expression, not wanting to miss any panicked expression on her face.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

Ye Jingqiu remained indifferent throughout, as if he didn't take Song Baiyu seriously at all.

Shuang Zuozuo spoke up, "Thank you all for your kindness, but I think that since the academy has already assigned us teams, we have no reason to choose you."

Although these people in front of them were all noble children, the brother and sister were not afraid of them.

Song Baiyu was slightly taken aback, narrowed his eyes, and then said, "Five hundred gold soul coins per person."

Having said all that, both Zuo Zuo and You You remained unmoved, as if they didn't take Song Baiyu seriously at all.

Hu Liena finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this.

Yan, who always had a fiery temper, said, "Song Baiyu, didn't you hear me? They don't need you. I advise you to go back to where you came from."

After a pause, Yan looked at Xie Yue and said, "Captain, it's getting late, we should go."

Xie Yue nodded, and then the group ignored Song Baiyu and the others.

"Ye Jingqiu—" Song Baiyu glared fiercely at their retreating figures, then turned to the chubby boy and said, "Don't hold back against them, I'll make sure they never return!"

The boy hesitated, "But this is the Spirit Hall Academy after all. What if the academy finds out about us..."

"Are you stupid? Do you really have to let them find out? Can't you be more careful?" Song Baiyu paused, then said pointedly, "Isn't your illegitimate son getting in your way? I can help you get rid of him."

The boy bit his lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Yes—"

……

This was Ye Jingqiu's first time in the Beast Hunting Forest. Unlike the Star Dou Great Forest, this place was full of people. Outside the Beast Hunting Forest was a market, where many people were clamoring to form teams.

Perhaps sensing Ye Jingqiu's confusion, Xie Yue said, "Although the soul beasts in the Beast Hunting Forest are not as powerful as those in the Star Dou Great Forest, there are still many powerful ones. The safest way is for multiple people to cooperate and hunt them in a group."

"However, teams that are suddenly formed like this are most likely to fall apart when they encounter danger. They lack tacit understanding, are unfamiliar with their teammates, and are inevitably wary of them, making them more prone to disintegration."

"This is also what I want to say to everyone. Since we have decided to form a team, we cannot abandon our teammates. I hope that everyone can entrust their backs to their teammates."

Yan nodded emphatically upon hearing this. "We understand, Captain!"

Having said that, Xie Yue didn't say anything more. The group walked forward, and after passing the market, they came to a large forest. The forest was enclosed by an iron fence, and outside stood soldiers in armor, holding weapons.

Xie Yue took out a token from his pocket.

Ye Jingqiu looked over, and Xie Yue explained, "This is the Spirit Hall's token. To enter the Soul Hunting Forest, you must present the Spirit Hall's token."

Ye Jingqiu nodded thoughtfully; she hadn't expected the Spirit Hall to wield such power.

When Xie Yue handed the token to the soldiers, they looked the group up and down and asked, "Are you all students of the Spirit Hall Academy?"

Xie Yue nodded. "That's right."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers did not make things difficult for the group and let them in.

Xie Yue said, "This token belongs exclusively to our team. We will return it to the academy after we complete the mission."

After saying that, Xie Yue carefully put the token away.

Like Ye Jingqiu, Lu Si'en entered the Beast Hunting Forest and looked around.

The latest novel is first published here!

None of this escaped Ye Jingqiu's notice. Lu Si'en was a step ahead of her; she quickly stepped forward and walked alongside Lu Si'en. "You've never been to the Beast Hunting Forest before?"

Lu Si'en was frighteningly honest when facing Ye Jingqiu, "I've never been to the Beast Hunting Forest. I obtained my first spirit ring with my elders in the Star Dou Great Forest."

He didn't lower his voice intentionally. Song Liyang, who was closest to the two of them, turned around and exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Si'en, I felt that you were not simple ever since the start of the semester."

He paused for a moment and walked towards Lu Sien, standing close to him, but Lu Sien dodged to the side before they could touch.

Song Liyang was always oblivious and didn't notice this small detail, but Ye Jingqiu did. It seems that Lu Si'en doesn't like physical contact with people.

Song Liyang asked with a curious expression, "Lu Si'en, what exactly is your background? Could it be that you're also from a noble family?"

Lu Si'en remained silent, not prepared to answer Song Liyang's question.

After spending these past few days together, Ye Jingqiu had gotten to know everyone's temperament and personality. She knew that Song Liyang was just curious, but Lu Si'en was usually quiet, let alone talking about such private matters.

Ye Jingqiu quickly spoke up, "We've been here for half an hour, how come we haven't encountered a single soul beast?"

Upon hearing this, Song Liyang's attention was successfully diverted, and he said, "Every year, quite a few people come to the Beast Hunting Forest, especially at this time of year. We just came to the Beast Hunting Forest to hunt for spirit rings a while ago."

Xie Yue turned around and said, "You haven't been at the academy long, so you probably don't know that, apart from those who already had a soul ring when they entered the academy, the rest of us were brought to the Beast Hunting Forest to hunt for soul rings after we reached level ten."

"It hasn't been long, the soul beasts in the Beast Hunting Forest should still be..."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud bang rang out.
