Douluo's Steady Douluo

Chapter 195: Task Master

Back at the lake, Xie Chun jumped off the shoulders of the giant ape, and took out the scraps and wood left over from the previous building to prepare for cooking.

"Are you going to cook grilled fish?" Xiao Wu licked her lips. After living in the human world for so long, she still has some knowledge.

"It's okay if you want to eat." Xie Chun poured out the six or seven fish that had just been collected in the system space, "I caught a lot."

He was still willing to provide some convenience in such a small matter, treating it as a favor. Later, when he wanted to use the Titan Giant Ape to kill people, Xiao Wu was too embarrassed not to agree.

"Then I'll wait here." Xiao Wu squatted aside, staring longingly at the simple grill he had set up.

After rummaging through the storage ring, Xie Chun successfully found the various spices he had stored up before. In order to prevent himself from being accidentally homeless, he had already prepared a series of wilderness survival items.

Three tents were prepared alone, and there were countless other odds and ends for survival.

After threading a few fish, Xie Chun tentatively lit a fire. Seeing that several spirit beasts had no objections, he dared to increase the firepower.

This place is not a matter of setting fire to the mountain and sitting in the bottom of the prison. You will be arrested on the spot and sent to see God.

But there is a lake next to it, so it would be difficult to burn it. The Azure Bull Python would probably be extinguished with a flick of its tail.

As the flames gradually grew bigger, Xie Chun sprinkled the prepared sauce, and a sizzling sound gradually appeared in the flames. After a few minutes, the alluring aroma came out of the grill.

The fish on the grill was already dead, but there was still a strange glint in its eyes.

Xiao Wu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, couldn't bear it long ago, and quickly asked, "Is it all right?"

"Let's eat." Xie Chun handed over a skewer of fish that was just cooked, then turned down the heat, and the rest was roasted sauce.

"It smells so good, can I eat it?" Titan Giant Ape bent down and sniffed, and immediately took a few steps closer to the grill.

"You... how about another day? This little food is not enough for you." As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Chun was shocked. The Titan ape in front of him emitted a burst of light, and then transformed into a muscular man.

"Have you also transformed into a human?" Xie Chun subconsciously called up the system panel, which still displayed the words "100,000-year-old soul beast" and no information about transformation at all.

An ethereal voice came from behind him: "It just has the appearance of a human being, but it is still a soul beast in essence."

Xie Chun turned around and saw a handsome young man with horns on his head, a real tauren.

"By the way, why aren't you a girl? Your voice should sound like a female." He strongly condemned this. What this series lacks now is girls with good looks and good looks, not handsome men.

"There is no distinction between male and female in the Azure Bull Python." Daming sat quietly next to Xiao Wu, picked up a skewer of grilled fish and ate it with peace of mind.

Turning his head and looking, the silent Er Ming had already eaten two strings of fish.

Damn it, it's a good thing he is a food-type soul master, otherwise he might not even be able to eat lunch after all this trouble.

Taking out a few buckets of instant noodles and placing them on the ground, Xie Chun picked up a skewer of grilled fish and took a vicious bite. Then he looked at Daming: "Actually, I suggest you make a female appearance. It's all fake anyway, and you can change it however you want. "

"why?"

"Because girls can increase the ratings." Xie Chun said the eternal truth. "I'm going to tell you about this. First of all, the hair must be black and straight, then the chest must be big, and the legs should be longer. As for the clothes, I will draw you a design later. Just change."

"???"

Tianqing Niuban finally rejected his proposal, which is a bit of a pity.

"Why don't you think about it again? Become the spokesperson of our company and speak for the Star Dou Forest. You will be famous in human society at once..." Xie Chun realized something was wrong when he said this, "Forget it, you continue Eat fish.”

If the Star Dou Great Forest became famous, maybe there would be more soul masters who came to hunt for soul rings, wouldn't that be counter-propaganda?

In the end, Xie Chun only had time to eat one grilled fish, and the rest was divided up by the three soul beasts.

"Hi, I'll catch fish for you later, let's continue eating this tonight." Er Ming is already ready to catch the fish in that river dry, and the leftovers can be saved when the time comes.

"As you wish." Xie Chun looked at the young man who was only half a head taller than him, could the Gundam not be able to drive now?

Next to her, Xiao Wu was lying on the grass basking in the sun. Xie Chun looked at her and suddenly realized something.

"Wait a minute, since you can all transform into human form, why does Xiao Wu have to become a human and rebuild?"

"You really don't know?" Daming looked at him with a strange look.

"My situation is quite special." Xie Chun coughed lightly, "Why don't you tell me?"

"To put it simply, when a soul beast reaches a hundred thousand years of cultivation, it has two choices. One is to maintain its own strength and survive. That is like Er Ming and I, the price is that we can only survive for a thousand years."

"...A thousand years?"

"Yes, in a thousand years, there will be a heavenly catastrophe for soul beasts. Only by surviving it can you continue to live. If you can't survive it, you will die. The vast majority of soul beasts will basically not be able to survive this hurdle. Choose this The road basically means it only has a thousand years to live.”

"It sounds okay. Another option is to transform into a human and practice cultivation again like Xiao Wu." Xie Chun thought about how long humans can live. No matter how much you upgrade, you can't live for a thousand years.

"Well, after the soul beast transforms, it needs to start training from scratch, and it must be in contact with humans to progress. Only after reaching level 60 and entering the mature stage can one truly hide its identity as a soul beast." Azure Bull Python nodded.

"Then isn't it because they are full and full? Their lifespan is shortened and their strength needs to be rebuilt. There is even a risk of being hunted when entering human society. Why do some soul beasts choose to transform?" Xie Chun really couldn't understand this. Wave operation, if it were him, it would be better to just stock up on a wave of food during the soul beast period and wait for the catastrophe.

The Azure Bull Python was silent for a few seconds, then quietly glanced at Xiao Wu who lowered his head: "Of course it's because human beings have great potential, and... once they break through the hundred-level mark, they will be able to live forever, comparable to God.”

"Breakthrough level ?" Xie Chun thought of the information he had collected before, that there really are gods in this world, and those gods should be soul masters who have broken through level .

"Becoming a god at level is not something to talk about." Azure Niuban smiled, "And soul beasts are destined not to become gods, so they can only transform into humans to pursue the slightest possibility."

"Why can't soul beasts become gods?" Xie Chun wondered whether there was also racial discrimination in this place?

"Then let's start from what happened a long time ago..."

Xie Chun: "..."

It's bad. This glance triggers the rhythm of a certain mission plot. What follows is probably a long CG cutscene, plus a group of NPCs issuing missions.
