Douluo protects our spirit hall

Chapter 263 Raven
The scope of the slums is very wide, almost occupying more than half of the west city, and there are hundreds of slums, large and small.

of course.

Not all slums are slums.

The existence of slums is just to provide a shelter for those who are homeless, penniless, or incapable, or who have lost hope in life and give up on themselves.

The civilians who are really capable and skilled all live in areas with a relatively better environment, such as villages, neighborhoods, or gathering places sheltered by some local forces or strong soul masters.

But even so, the order of these areas is only slightly better than that of the slums.

Fighting, fighting, plundering, etc., can still be seen everywhere.

After all, the slums are inherently barren, lacking in resources, and having a large population, with more wolves and less meat, which will naturally lead to disorder and chaos.

In the slums, the two most important things are money and food.

Money buys food, and food fills us up and keeps us alive.

Only by surviving first can we have the opportunity to consider other things.

So people in the slums, fighting or killing each other, are usually for these two things.

This is especially the case with money.

Food is not suitable for storage and can be bought at any time.

Food is scarce in the slums, but it is still available.

Money is different.

Money is easier to store and will not deteriorate. Whether it is gold soul coins, silver soul coins, or copper soul coins, they are all hard currencies.

As long as you have money, you can buy it, whether it is food or other things.

So the temptation of money is greater.

In places like slums, if you have money on you, don't let others know, otherwise it will definitely attract others' covetousness.

It's the same regardless of gender.

Soon.

Ye Qifeng took Qian Renxue through a slum again and came to a block.

The living environment in this block is slightly better than that of the slums. Although most people live in tents, it looks much more orderly and less chaotic.

These people are civilians with some abilities or special skills. Although they live in poverty, at least they have hope, which is much better than the people in the slums.

Many of them lived in the dilapidated houses on both sides of the street. It seemed that they had some status in this block, or people with special abilities, such as soul warriors with soul power.

Facing the curious gazes of the surrounding civilians, the two passed through the street as if nothing had happened.

Ye Qifeng's face was calm, he had already seen the strangeness, and his mental power swept past at will, and he didn't notice any danger, so he stopped paying too much attention.

Qian Renxue's expression was also as calm as water. She followed Ye Qifeng side by side, as if she had learned the latter's ability to calm and concentrate, but in fact she was already a little numb, and she gradually got used to those curious gazes.

Seeing the neat clothes on the two people, their decent temperament, and the implying deterrent aura, a certain person living in the small house felt awe-inspiring, and immediately sent a message to the residents of the block to warn everyone not to make plans with the two of them.

So nothing happened.

soon.

Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue passed through the neighborhood where civilians gathered, and turned a corner to a deserted street.

Turning to look at Qian Renxue, Ye Qifeng could see a bit of fatigue from her beautiful face.

After pondering for a while, he realized that the slum area had a great impact on Qian Renxue's mind, and it made her feel a little tired.

Looking up at the sky, the weather is still gloomy, only the clouds on the west side, with a bit of bright white in the dark, and it has entered the afternoon.

Ye Qifeng thought about it, and said to Qian Renxue:

"Xue'er, let's go back."

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, and asked:
"Aren't you going to visit?"

"No more shopping."

Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly, and said in a warm voice, "I have a general understanding of the situation in this urban area, and other places are not bad, and there is nothing to see."

Saying that, Ye Qifeng looked at her with a softer tone:

"I see that you are a little tired, go back and have a good rest first."

"It turns out that you care about me."

Qian Renxue's heart warmed up, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and the tiredness on her face suddenly dissipated a lot.

Then she nodded slightly and said softly:
"Then go back."

After negotiating.

The two of them immediately quickened their pace, crossed the deserted street, and prepared to rush back to the east in the direction of Liu Erlong's house.

Just when the two reached the intersection of the street.

Sudden.

Four children walked up to me.

The children were not very old, about seven to ten years old, and they were not very well dressed. They were the same coarse clothes as most civilians, which looked a little loose and worn.

The child who walked in front was nearly 1.3 meters tall, with a wheat-colored skin.

The hair is not long, barely hanging down to the shoulders, but the hair color is very special, with a hint of purple in the silvery gray.

What attracted the most attention was that pair of eyes, which turned out to be blue, as clear as amber, big and bright, and extremely conspicuous.

The age of the silver-gray haired child should be about seven or eight years old, and the gender cannot be identified for the time being, so let's treat him as a boy.

The skin color of the other three children is slightly different from that of the frontmost child, and they look a little dark.

Walking behind the silver-gray haired child was a boy with short black hair. He was a little over 1.3 meters tall and looked over nine years old.

The last two who followed were 1.4 meters tall, about ten years old, and their hair was a little messy, not as dry as the first two children.

The four children were all a little thin and their complexions were yellowish. It was obvious that they were all malnourished.

However, the child who walked in front, although thin, had a muscular outline in his slender arms. He seemed to be in the best physical condition and the strongest among them.

The silver-gray haired child was the shortest and the youngest, but the other three children were vaguely headed by him, looking like the little leader among the children.

"The kid in front seems to be interesting."

Looking at the oncoming children, Ye Qifeng smiled and said something suddenly.

"Huh? Xiaofeng, do you mean the child with silver-gray hair?"

Qian Renxue also noticed it.

"Don't you think his eyes are very rare?"

Ye Qifeng asked with a smile.

"It's really beautiful. It's blue, so clear, so translucent, like a gem. If he's a girl, he must be very charming with such eyes."

Qian Renxue also commented.

Seeing that they were about to pass by several children, the two stopped talking, looked at the silver-gray haired child with a smile, and nodded at him at the same time.

The children who walked into the entrance of the street naturally spotted Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue.

Looking at the imposing two people.

The hearts of the children trembled slightly, a little surprised and a little scared.

Especially the three people in the back, when they saw the strangers entering this block, they instinctively felt fear, and they dared not show their atmosphere.

The silver-gray haired child seemed much calmer.

She, yes, she was actually a girl.

It's just that because of her young age, the extremely loose coarse clothes she was wearing, and the stains on her face, it was hard to tell her gender.

Although they are all orphans, unlike the other three, she is not a local resident of the slum area.

The girl was originally born in a family of knights in the empire, but her family was in decline, and her relatives passed away one after another, leaving her alone as a young child, becoming an orphan who no one cares about.

Two years ago, he was exiled to the Tiandou slums. A year ago, he awakened his martial spirit with the help of the Wuhun Temple. Because of his innate soul power, he became a soul warrior, so he was absorbed into this neighborhood.

With good physical fitness, smart and wise mind, and fierce and loyal style, she soon became the little boss of several orphans of the same age in the neighborhood.

"These two are so beautifully dressed!"

The moment she saw Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue, the girl couldn't help but exclaim in her heart.

She is still young and doesn't want to come up with too many adjectives, so this exclamation is a bit simple.

After amazed, she thought quickly and secretly guessed the identities of the two:
"Are they ... big figures from outside?"

She found that the aura exuded by the two people on the opposite side seemed to be similar to the big men she had seen in her vague memory, and they didn't look like people from the slums at first glance.

And from the two of them, she didn't feel any danger.

On the contrary, what she felt was kindness and kindness.

This made her feel a little relieved, at least she didn't have to worry about the two of them attacking the four of them.

The girl calmly led her three friends and continued to walk into the deserted street. At the same time, her eyes fell on the faces of the two opposite people all the time. Although this was very impolite, for some reason, she couldn't help but wanted to take a few more glances.

Because the two adults on the opposite side are really nice, just like gentle big brothers and big sisters, at least that's how she feels at the moment.

Just when the two sides staggered past.

The girl suddenly saw that the big brother with black hair and black eyes on the opposite side showed a bright smile at her and nodded to her, and the beautiful big sister with blond hair and blue eyes beside him did the same.

The girl's eyes widened suddenly, a little flattered.

At this moment, the smiles of the two fell into the girl's eyes, they were so warm and kind, very similar to their former family members.

After the two sides passed each other, she still couldn't help turning her head to look at the two of them.

"Riwen, do you know those two people?"

After Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue walked over, the boy with short black hair beside the girl let out a long breath, and then asked in a low voice.

The boy's name is Xiaoliu, and he has no last name.

The girl's first name, as the boy was called, was Raven, and she also had no last name because she couldn't remember.

"do not know."

When Ruiwen heard the question, she looked back and shook her head.

"Who are they? They appear here dressed so well and they haven't been robbed?"

Xiao Liu asked again in surprise.

"Maybe a big shot coming in from outside."

Ruiwen pondered for a moment, then guessed, "They should be soul masters."

"The very powerful one." After a pause, she added.

"Soul, soul master? Very powerful?"

Xiao Liu immediately opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, he never doubted Rui Wen's judgment, and the other two companions were also a little dumbfounded.

"No wonder no one dares to mess with them."

Xiao Liu said clearly, and then said with emotion:
"If only we were as strong as them!"

Ruiwen's face darkened when she heard this, she should have had the opportunity to grow into a powerful soul master, but it's a pity
Her martial soul is a waste martial soul.

"However, I will not give up. No matter what, I must become a soul master."

For a moment, Ruiwen clenched her fists, her little heart filled with firmness.

"Let's not talk about that, let's save Xiaoqi first."

Rui Wen collected her mind and stroked her chest, which was slightly bulging, as if something was hidden there.

"That stupid grandson of Cheng Xin!"

Hearing Rui Wen's words, Xiao Liu's face turned ugly immediately, and his voice became a little higher, cursing and saying:

"It's fine to bully the small with the big, but if you can't beat you, you even caught Xiao Qi with a dirty trick, and let us use money to redeem it."

"It's a doggy thing!"

Cheng Xin is a gangster in the next block. He is 11 years old. Like Xiao Liu, he is a soul warrior. He leads five or six ordinary people of the same age under his command.

Cheng Xin is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong, and only picks out those who are younger and weaker than him to rob and bully.

Xiao Liu and the others were often bullied by him and robbed by him. It was not until Ruiwen awakened her martial spirit and became a soul warrior that she beat him up severely that they restrained themselves.

But recently, I don't know where Cheng Xin got the news, knowing that Ruiwen has private savings, so he used a trick to capture his companion Xiaoqi, and threatened Ruiwen to use money to redeem him, otherwise he would not be released.

This is why they came to this uninhabited street, because this is the place where the two parties agreed to redeem people.

Seeing that Rui Wen's face was also a bit ugly, Xiao Liu restrained himself, sighed, and asked:
"Ruiwen, that money is the savings you have accumulated for more than a year. It is reserved for asking someone to help you hunt for the soul ring. If you use it to redeem Xiaoqi, what will happen to your soul ring in the future?"

Rui Wen pursed her lips, a little reluctant, but finally said:
"Let's redeem people first, and ask people to help hunt the soul ring, and we'll talk about it later."

Xiao Liu muttered a few times, but finally said nothing more.

The two people who stood behind and didn't speak also shrugged helplessly, there was no good way.

After all, Xiao Qi is their companion, so she must not give up.

To redeem Xiao Qi from Cheng Xin, money is needed, and now, only Rui Wen has a little savings, and the three of them are penniless, and they can't even make up a copper soul coin.

At this time, Xiao Liu couldn't help but fight for Rui Wen, and said loudly:

"Speaking of which, Rui Wen, you are obviously a genius with full soul power, the person who awakened your martial soul for you back then decided that your martial soul is a useless martial soul, he really blinded him!"

"Where in this world is there a useless martial soul with full soul power? Anyway, I don't believe it."

"That's right, if it wasn't for Rui Wen's martial soul being judged to be a useless martial soul, she would have obtained the soul ring and become a soul master by now."

The other two also agreed.

Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue, who were already some distance away from the street, suddenly stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and said in surprise:

"Innately full of soul power?!"
