Douluo's Drunk Red Dust

After a night, Zui Hongchen felt a sense of relief after getting up.

After all, it is the nature of youth, and the discomfort last night seemed to be in a dream.

He and Jiang Nannan were the only ones left in the entire tent, with the latter breathing steadily and a healthy blush on his face.

After getting up, he practiced daily. After yesterday's battle, he felt that the effect of using the Ming Yu Gong to mobilize soul power was much better.

The original weak feeling of sluggishness turned into a wave of warmth, making his body feel warm.

The caravan sorted out the goods. After Jiang Nannan woke up, she continued to help them as a caravan clerk. Her face no longer had the disguise of mud and dust, and the busy look of the little girl with pink makeup made the caravan leader uncomfortable. I'm so embarrassed to let Jiang Nannan do some heavy work.

Finally, Jiang Nannan got on Zui Hongchen's carriage.

"Brother Hongchen, what is your martial spirit?"

"It's Toad."

Jiang Nannan imagined the toad's wrinkled skin, which didn't match Zui Hongchen's delicate appearance at all.

"What about you?"

"Hehe, I haven't awakened my martial spirit yet."

She thought of something and raised a finger, "In one month, my martial soul will be awakened. I hope my martial soul can be more beautiful or cute."

Zui Hongchen laughed.

Although the two children were still young, they chatted very happily. The morning was spent amidst the laughter of Zui Hongchen and Jiang Nannan.

He learned about Jiang Nannan's family from her story. Her father went out to work all year round and her mother was frail and sick and raised her alone.Before that, Jiang Nannan also worked as a child laborer in different places nearby, and she began to earn money to support her family at a young age.

The fact that Zui Hongchen has no concept of money does not mean that he is not short of money.

He cares more about reputation and strength than money.

There was a hint of softness in Jiang Nannan's eyes.

"Brother Hongchen, are you coming to my house as a guest?"

"...convenient?"

There were only female relatives at home, so Zui Hongchen hesitated.

"Yeah, of course it's convenient. Mom will be very happy to see you."

Jiang Nannan held Zui Hongchen's hand and refused to let go.

The caravan successfully entered Lingyue Town. Jiang Nannan received her salary from the caravan leader and quickly stuffed the money bag into her clothes.

Then during lunch, Zui Hongchen said hello to Sun Er and others who were stationed in the tavern, and let Jiang Nannan hold his hand and turn into a small alley.

Jiang Nannan's mother looked very weak. When she saw her daughter going out and bringing back guests, she smiled and entertained them.

After learning that the little boy in front of her saved her daughter's life in the melee, she was even more grateful to Zui Hongchen. Her words were full of intimacy, as if she regarded him as her own child.

Zui Hongchen declined the gift from Jiang Nannan's mother and stayed at her house for lunch, which was considered an even deal.

"I really have to leave, Nan Nan, I will come to play with you next time."

Standing in front of the door, Zui Hongchen smiled at the mother and daughter.

Jiang Nannan held her mother's hand with some reluctance. In just one day, Zui Hongchen had become the best playmate in her heart. It was really hard to say goodbye to her like this.

"Pull the hook."

Amid her mother's laughter, Jiang Nannan extended her little finger to Zui Hongchen, her face slightly red.

Facing the lovely Jiang Nannan, Zui Hongchen also extended his little finger and made a promise with her.

"Let's go."

Zui Hongchen waved to the two of them and disappeared from their sight.

"He's a very cute little boy." Mother Jiang stroked Jiang Nannan's blond hair, "Let's continue to play with him next time we see him."

Jiang Nannan hummed softly.

. . .

To Zui Hongchen, Jiang Nannan was just a passerby who met by chance. After lamenting the difficulties of others his age, the idea of ​​hunting some kind of soul beast came into his mind.

After meeting with Uncle Sun and others, the group left Lingyue Town and walked toward the outskirts of the Sun and Moon Forest not far away.

"Uncle Sun, there are so many people."

"Isn't it? Look, there is the team led by the college." Sun Er quietly pointed to the right. Zui Hongchen followed his finger and found several students standing loosely not far away. They were older than him. Quite a few, wearing pine green school uniforms.

In front of them stood three teachers, also in turquoise uniforms, with school badges on their right breasts.Under the leadership of the teachers, the students followed the teachers quietly and rushed into the Sun and Moon Forest.

"The academy usually goes to the deep layers of the Sun and Moon Forest, where there are more thousand-year soul beasts." Sun Er looked away, "Let's go to the outer layer. There are century-old soul beasts suitable for you there."

"it is good."

With long knives in their hands, the group followed the path and entered the layers of forest.

The atmosphere inside the forest was completely different from the outside. Zui Hongchen could only hear the rustling of fallen leaves and the chirping of birds.

"—"

Sun Er, who was walking in front, tensed up instantly. He took out his long knife and pointed it at a swaying bush.

"Boogie?"

A ten-year-old forest cat jumped out, and when it saw Sun Er's tense look, its tail straightened up instantly, and it ran into another bush and fled.

Sun Er couldn't help but laugh, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued walking around the perimeter after a while of teasing.

The next few people met several groups of spirit beasts again, most of them were ten-year-old spirit beasts that ran away when they saw Sun Er. One ten-year-old cunning fox tried to sneak attack Sun Er, but was killed by Zui Hongchen.

When night came, everyone set up a tent, sprinkled medicine to drive away spirit beasts around the tent, and began to eat dry food.

Soul beast hunting is a technical job that not only requires the strength of your own team, but also a bit of luck to be able to meet the soul beast you want to hunt.

Otherwise, it would be possible to wander around in the forest looking for spirit beasts for a month.

Zui Hongchen was chewing bread and never leaving his body. It was difficult to practice in the forest, and the only way to replenish his physical strength was to sleep. Sun Er discussed the order of the night watch with the experts in the village, got into the sleeping bag first, and snored.

In order to preserve his strength, Zui Hongchen hurriedly ate his dry food and squeezed into his sleeping bag, his ears filled with the peaceful chirping of insects at night.

After sleeping until midnight, he was woken up by Sun Er's voice.

"Light up the fire."

Zui Hongchen was stunned and stood up from his sleeping bag.

Rubbing his slightly stiff wrist, he seemed to see something wriggling outside the camp with the faint light of the fire.

"what is that?"

"It's a spirit beast that goes out to hunt at night." Sun Er narrowed his eyes to confirm, and then quickly said, "It's a snake. Judging from its length, it seems to be a century-old snake."

Seeing Zui Hongchen pull out his long knife, Sun Er nodded, "Light the torch, bring in the snake and kill it."

They have good luck, but what about their strength?

Lighting a fire in the forest is a foolish act because it will expose one's whereabouts to aggressive spirit beasts.

The wooden stick stuck in the ground ignited a flame. Sun Er picked up a stone and threw it towards the wriggling black shadow.

"hiss--"

A pair of yellow vertical pupils turned around. Seeing that the person provoking it was actually a human, it couldn't help but reveal the snake's message and crush the powder to expel the soul beast.

The next moment, the century-old snake opened its mouth, ejected its body and bit Sun Er.
