Chapter 17: Encounter in the Woods
It is the beginning of spring in the 2627th year of the Douluo calendar. This year, Qianshui has been in the Douluo Continent for seven years.
Although it is a fantasy world, there is not too much excitement and excitement. Qianshui's personality makes him live fantasy as his daily life.
At this time he was already level 19, and with no one to disturb him in the Star Dou Great Forest, his training progressed rapidly.
He even moved once during the journey because he found that the resources around him were becoming less and less, and he was not a herbivore that could survive by eating leaves. He had no choice but to move.
So he left the forest where he had just started, followed the stream upstream, and settled down halfway up a high mountain. This time he did not build a tree house, as it was too troublesome.
The mountain does not have the complex ground environment like the rainforest, so Qianshui chose to build a wooden house on the ground.
In fact, it is quite realistic, with windows, creaky doors, and even a courtyard and balcony when there is time. It's a pity that there is no glass, and the windows are just holes.
It's just that recently there's been a group of wind baboons nearby, making a lot of noise and making people feel very uncomfortable.
…
At this time, Qian Renxue had already broken through level 30. Originally, it might have been an unknown whether she could break through level 30 at the age of 7, but Qian Renxue did it.
She has been practicing very hard in the past six months, just to be able to find Qianshui as soon as possible.
The little girl's persistence even made Qianxunji a little shaken, but his inherent ideas made him not care too much.
Qian Renxue even tried to question Bibi Dong when she was level 29, asking her where Qianshui had been arranged to practice and where Qianshui had hunted for his first soul ring, and she even got the exact answer on the map!
There was no excessive routine, just direct questions. Bibi Dong didn't react, but thought Qianshui probably had no hope of survival, so she pointed out Qianshui's location.
So as soon as she reached level 30, she immediately asked to go soul hunting, but this time she didn't look for Qian Daoliu, she only looked for Qian Xunji.
Because if it were Qian Daoliu, he would not agree to run around everywhere. He would only achieve his goal quickly and then return home to fulfill his duties as the chief priest of the Spirit Hall.
But Qianxunji is different. As long as Qian Renxue acts coquettishly, he will agree. Thus, "Qian Renxue's Friendship Story" was born.
But they definitely wouldn't be able to find it, because Qianshui had long since left the forest they first came from. When Qian Renxue and the others arrived, they only found Qianshui's tree house and some traces of his life there.
The poor girl had so little experience that she couldn't see the key information at all.
The construction of the tree house and the traces of life everywhere fully prove that Qianshui has lived here for a long time. Because these things require a long time of accumulation to achieve.
Qian Renxue obviously didn't know this. She thought that the reason why she couldn't find Qianshui must be because he was taken away by a powerful soul beast and eaten to pieces! She could even imagine Qianshui's throat being bitten and blood coming out of the corners of his mouth!
Just as Qian Renxue lowered her head to pour the beans, a wolf martial soul, a soul saint who was good at tracking, spoke up: "Your Holiness, there is only one person's aura here, but there are many soul beasts' auras, but they should be hunted."
As he said this, he picked up the leftover bones that Qianshui had thrown away casually.
"These soul beasts are at least a hundred years old, and some are even a thousand years old. This person must have left on his own initiative because there is no prey nearby."
"This kid is really unexpected!"
In the past six months, Qianshui's strength has improved rapidly, whether it is soul power, how to use it, or even mental power and soul power!
He even killed a few thousand-year-old soul beasts that wanted to come and grab the territory. Are you kidding me? Are the terrifying upright apes a joke? Haven't you heard that the surrounding areas are almost eaten up?
As a result, they all became delicacies on Qianshui's plate.
There was no entanglement about whether there was an infectious disease, after all, there was an omnipotent soul power. And in the fantasy world, who cares about these things, just eat and be done, and Emperor Huang Tian would give a thumbs up after seeing it.
With the endorsement of professionals, Qian Renxue also rekindled hope, and they were moving quickly in the direction of Qianshui.
…
But what was Qianshui doing? He was bored and was chasing away the wind baboons!
Although Qianshui had no intention of eating primates, the wind baboon was too noisy! It had disturbed Qianshui's practice.
According to the characteristics of primates living in groups, Qianshui beat up several hundred-year-old wind baboons, thinking that if the leader was beaten away, the other wind baboons would follow. But this group of wind baboons also had a thousand-year-old leader!
There is no choice but to keep fighting!
When Qian Renxue and her group arrived, they saw Qian Shui and the thousand-year-old wind baboon Ola!
The fluctuation of soul power here also pointed out the direction for Qian Renxue and her group. When they came, they saw a bald kid with tattered clothes. He was fighting with a thousand-year-old wind baboon with fists and flesh!
"Xiao Shui!" Qian Renxue shouted excitedly when she saw Qian Shui.
This sound scared Qianshui, and Feng Baboon punched him in the face, sending him flying several meters away.
However, this wind baboon did not escape the disaster. A group of high-level soul masters consciously cleared out the wind baboon group.
Qian Renxue was possessed by the angel spirit and flew directly to Qianshui.
"Xiaoshui, are you okay?"
"Xiaoxue, why are you here? Ah~ If you don't make any noise, I might really be fine~hiss~"
Qianshui took a breath, sat on the ground, supported himself with one hand, touched his swollen face that was hit by the wind baboon with the other, and cried out in pain.
Qian Renxue now saw Qian Shui's appearance clearly! "How can I be so good-looking as Xiao Shui?"
That's right, no long hair, no bun, and no high ponytail!
Qianshui's clothes had long been torn to the point where even the sleeves were gone, and he was still covered in the fur of some unknown soul beast, and he didn't smell very good.
As for the cumbersome hair, he had shaved it off a long time ago to avoid the need to take care of it, which also led to his current boss hairstyle!
He didn't feel it was a big deal at all. He kept his life simple, cut off all his worries, and lived comfortably. Besides, no one noticed!
"Xiao Shui, what's wrong with your hair?" Qian Renxue didn't think so. Girls naturally love to be beautiful. Anyway, she couldn't understand it.
"If it's in the way, just cut it off~" There's not even any shampoo, and my hair doesn't feel fresh no matter how I wash it.
"How can this be so ugly!"
"How can this be called ugly?..." he whispered.
If Qianxunji hadn't been there, he would have had to argue with Qian Renxue about the merits of this!
"Qianshui, why are you here?"
Qianxun quickly walked closer and asked.
Qianshui thought they were asking why he moved, so he stood up and saluted Qianxunji, then replied: "The resources over there were insufficient, so I moved to another place~"
"No, that woman said you were training, but how come you don't even have anyone to protect you! This is outrageous! Isn't this just throwing you into the Star Dou Great Forest to fend for yourself?!"
It is obvious that Qian Renxue is filled with deep resentment. Qianshui's current situation verifies her long-held guess. Although it is not Bibi Dong, Qianshui could have just chopped her to death and buried her, but what difference does it make?
Who would leave a 6-year-old child in such a dangerous place like the Star Dou Forest and leave him there?
"It's training, for sure. And it's very effective. I'm already level 19!"
Qianshui always leaves people speechless. When everyone thinks that what Qian Renxue says makes sense, Qianshui's speech refutes her with reason and evidence.
It was true. A 7-year-old child with a soul power level of 19 could fight a thousand-year-old soul beast alone? Who would believe it if I told them?
But this is indeed the truth, they saw it with their own eyes! Even Qianxunji's eyes became eager!
It is true that Qian Renxue, who is of the same age as her, is now level 30, but she has an extraordinary level of talent and an innate level 20 soul power!
Qianshui was different. Even if he had the talent of twin martial spirits, how could his early cultivation speed be so extraordinary! Just looking at the soul power level, any genius with full soul power could not do it!
"That won't do! She's too irresponsible! How can she lead students like that? And can't you run? You run so fast, it won't take long for you to get out of the Star Dou Great Forest, and you can find a branch temple and return to Wuhun City!"
Qian Renxue doesn't care about that. Bibi Dong is a bad person! She is definitely not going to do anything good! From her attitude on the day of becoming a disciple, it can be seen that she definitely wants Qianshui to die!
"Okay Xiaoxue, Dong'er also has her own ideas!" Qianxunji defended Bibi Dong at this time.
Firstly, Qianshui had indeed made rapid progress, and this way of training was indeed effective; secondly, he didn't want his daughter to speak like this about her mother in front of outsiders.
However, Qianxunji did not realize that Qianshui's growth actually had nothing to do with Bibi Dong, and her original purpose was not to let Qianshui gain experience!
"Uh~ The teacher must have her own reasons for doing this~ I always thought someone was watching me~ so I didn't dare to run~"
Qianshui scratched his head. He understood what Bibi Dong meant, but he did not follow her. Helping her to cover up the lie was also a way to repay her for helping him hunt soul beasts.
