Douluo: I Don't Want to Be a God, I Actually Became a God

Chapter 344 Oscar Crisis!
After packing up the personal belongings that she had taken out from her ring for more than a year and given as gifts from Snow Lady and Snow Wolf, Yu Yuyi raised her neck and lightly tapped her stiff shoulder.

[Yizai, have you really decided? 】

Tian Mengru, who was nestled in a ball on top of Yu Yuyi's hair, asked.

Yu Yuyi lowered her eyes, looked at the things that had been arranged under her hands, opened her lips and said, "Of course. After all, I can't stay in one place forever, even if it is called a 'desperate place'."

[Alas, it’s only in these years that I understand why Douluo told me to take a good look at you. Your physique...]

"It's unreasonable..." Yu Yuyi did not avoid this. She just put the things she had arranged into her ring, took out a bag and put something on the table.

Tianmeng didn't notice Yu Yuyi's movements. He was still immersed in Yu Yuyi's answers and her increasingly conspicuous physique in recent years, and sighed.

[Yizai, why on earth is your physique getting worse and worse... Sigh, it's hard, what if you go back and live in those imperial cities for three or two years, wouldn't it...]

"Well, so I won't stay at dad's place for too long. Unless one day I solve this troublesome physique of mine."

[Then do you have an idea? If you still can't solve it, then Yi Zai, won't you have to be a wanderer for the rest of your life? 】

"There is a clue, but..." Yu Yuyi did not tell Tianmeng what she guessed later.

Because those speculations are too absolute and make people feel that the laws of heaven in this world are ruthless.

But Yu Yuyi already had the worst guess about this.

——It’s nothing more than a narrow escape from death, or ten deaths without a life.

"...Don't worry. When it's really irreversible, I still have a last resort."

[Um, eh, since you said so, Yi Zai, then I will believe you. There are still a few months left before the five-year agreement you and I made as children. Do you plan to go back now? 】

"Well..." Yu Yuyi took out the jade sign, glanced at the message of the sender on it, then held the jade sign and waved it in the direction of Tianmeng, "Go back now, and you can still catch up with the net. If it's too late, A little, I’m afraid even if I close the net, I won’t be able to catch any fish.”

【What is casting a net? Closing the net? Yi Zai, you always say things that I don’t understand. 】

"Haha~ I'm really sorry about that. I will tell you in detail later."

Yu Yuyi casually perfunctory Tianmeng Bingsi, who was still dissatisfied and wanted to ask for an answer, confirmed that the personal belongings she had to take away in the room had been put into the portable storage ring, and then took the clothes hanger on the side of the door. He put the hanging cloak on his body and pushed out the door.

The changes in the room are not major.

Except for the small and easily expired essentials that were taken away by Yu Yuyi, other large household items, as well as the mattresses and pillows on the bed, were not put away by Yu Yuyi.

Everything remains as if she still lives here.

It's unclear whether it was to give some thoughts to the two 'family members' who could only stay here, or to come and stay with them for a while when they were free in the future. Yu Yuyi did not really take away all the personal information related to her. thing.

She turned back and glanced at the furnishings that could be seen at a glance in the small wooden house. Now there was no one inside, and only the residual warmth remained.

The snow girl is not here.

But Yu Yuyi knew where this little guy would be.

As for the Snow Wolf, he was naturally patrolling the ice field with the Snow Girl as usual.

——Still not here...

Yu Yuyi chuckled and lowered her eyes, lowered her head and gently closed the wooden door in front of her.

"Then, I'm going out."

……

Walking on the ice field is an extremely physically demanding task, but Yu Yuyi has lived here for more than a year and a half, and she has found some skills on such difficult ice fields and snow.

At this time, it was only half a stick of incense time away from the wooden house where she and the snow girl lived, and they were already not far away.

Because Tianmeng was nostalgic for this weather that he might not encounter again in the past, he still curled up on the hood of Yu Yuyi's head, feeling the howling north wind and the ice and snow falling slowly from unknown time.

It's very similar to the first time I met Yuki-onna...

Yu Yuyi raised her head, looked at the falling snowflakes under the thick gray clouds, and thought silently.

Just a few of them drifted down the wind and landed on her forehead and cheeks. The moment the snow melted, it brought a slight chill.

"Hmm! It's better to get out of the ice field quickly while the snow doesn't fall too hard... Phew——"

She tightened the hood of her cloak, hid her hair tightly in the hood, and breathed hot breath into her fingers, which were starting to become cold and red due to the physique of an ordinary soul master.

It was expected that the snow would get heavier and heavier, but it did not snow so heavily that it was impossible to walk until Yu Yuyi completely left this desperate place.

This kind of coincidence cannot be said to be a mere coincidence at this time.

If Yu Yuyi felt something, she looked back at the land where it was still snowing. There was only a few steps away from where she was standing now, but it seemed like two worlds were separated.

On one side, there are overcast clouds, and ice and snow are floating; on the other side, there is no snow or clouds, and the sun hanging high in the sky is evaporating downwards with its useless warmth equivalent to a small light bulb in the refrigerator.

Yu Yuyi followed his intuition and looked towards a place on the ice field.

There was a small cliff. The snow wolf used to stay at the highest point, looking down at everything, then raising its head and roaring.

Nowadays, there is not only a former regular customer there, but also a very familiar 'person' named Yu Yuyi.

Yu Yuyi looked at the cliff bank that was difficult to see clearly even with the soul master's eyesight alone, and easily saw the two little guys who were not at home this morning.

The snow girl still has a flowing skirt, looking like a fairy in the sky. Even standing on a cliff, she can't hide her unique temperament.

Compared to the young and frail person she was when they first met, she can now be called the uncrowned king of this ice field.

But even though the snow girl has such a transcendent title.

In Yu Yuyi's view, she is just a child who has just passed through her infancy. Even though she has entered maturity, won a crown, and gained more power...

But just looking at the expression of reluctance on the snow girl's face now, who can regard her as an adult who can take charge of her own affairs?
Just being willing to endure this no matter how reluctant she is is enough for Yiyi to see her growth.

The snow wolf is still with the snow girl. It does not lie down and wait, but always stands beside the snow girl.

Then the keen intuition of a predator caught Yu Yuyi's sight. It raised its head and roared.

The long howl of the wolf resounded throughout this deserted and desperate land, from far to near, and then headed into the distance again.

Perhaps impressed by the strength contained in this wolf howl, or perhaps infected by the emotion it wanted to convey, more wolf howls of different tones sounded in the distance, one after another, continuing. Continuously.

It's like retaining someone, but also like saying goodbye.

On the empty ice field, the glacier flows eastward silently, and only this unique farewell ensemble echoes in this desperate situation.

*****
Frozen forest.

It is a coniferous forest that gathers plants and animals that are most suitable for growing in the cold zone. It is rarely visited by people. Part of the reason is because this is the transitional area between the ice plains of the 'Desperate Land' and the towns located in the north of the Tiandou Empire.

Similarly, because it is adjacent to the ice field where pure high-level or ice-type soul beasts live, this place is also regarded as a soul beast forest famous for ice-type soul beasts.

But because the environment is too harsh, it is not suitable for soul masters to be there for a long time, and the temperature is very low, so ordinary people will not go deep into it if they have nothing to do.

Therefore, few people will choose to come here to hunt the soul beasts they need, unless they are soul masters with cold or ice-attribute martial souls, and they cannot find a soul beast suitable for them in the ordinary captive soul beast forest. There will be an adventure team with rich experience nearby, and they will be rewarded with rich soul coins and the price of their own help, and join them to hunt what they need.

And this adventure team of more than ten people is a soul master adventure team with experience in the frozen forest.

At this moment, a group of more than ten of them were parked in an open area, working together to set up camp.

There are also a few people who are not very strong, and some are thin, but their eyes are like falcons, and they are arranged in different directions, looking towards the not far away to warn of possible dangers.

Most of the people, including the few soul masters who were part of the main combat force, were sitting on the ground, munching on the dry food and sausages they had prepared from their small bags, constantly replenishing their physical strength and energy in case of emergencies. needs.

"Alert! Something is coming!"

Among the people responsible for the survey, an experienced middle-aged man noticed the movement in the trees in the distance and quickly and very quietly warned the team behind them.

Those in the rear who were sitting on the ground, setting up camp, or cooking fires quickly stood up from their respective positions after the surveyor's voice, and returned to their peak state of vigilance.

Even the person responsible for setting up the bonfire and lighting the fire for cooking extinguished the fire with snow in an instant, extinguished the last trace of smoke, and stood behind one of the main combatants.

Perfectly demonstrating the qualities that a weak auxiliary soul master should possess.

He is quiet, well-behaved, and can run when in danger. He can fight but cannot be a hero. His auxiliary ability is also very useful in the team.

Such a well-behaved assistant who can breastfeed, assist, fight, run, cook, and be obedient is a talent that many soul master teams can only meet but cannot ask for!

But it is a pity that in such an adventure team where everyone hangs their lives and heads on the tip of a knife, the auxiliary soul master is the most useless member.

The only uses are for logistical supplies, and when encountering dangerous soul beasts, you can always abandon the abandoned child as bait for the soul beast.

But the only auxiliary soul master in this adventure team was Oscar, who had disappeared after learning the first rule of the Ning Rongrong Sect more than four years ago.

No one in this adventure team knew that this tall, slovenly man with a beard and an unremarkable appearance was a member of the team that won the most prestigious elite competition in the continent's advanced soul master academy.

They were gathered just a year ago by the most powerful man in front of Oscar, Hot, and they were nothing more than third-rate soul masters who gathered together just to make some money.

The highest level soul master is Haote, who has a total of seventy-sixth level soul saints; there are still five soul emperors left, two of which are close to the level of soul saints and have not yet broken through; and others, including Oscar, are The nine soul kings inside.

From this point of view, even if it is just an adventure team that has been organized for a short time, its strength can be regarded as gathering nearly 70% of the strongest people in this frozen forest.

If nothing unexpected happens, this team will be able to fight even if they encounter spirit beasts that are more than 30,000 years old.

The thing not far away that aroused their alertness obviously did not have more than 30,000 years of cultivation.

A seven- to eight-meter-long spirit beast emerged from the trees. Its scales were extremely strange. Each scale was like a small mirror. Even in the short and dim night, it reflected sporadic light. Brilliance.

If this soul beast stands still and is in a bright enough environment, it can easily hide itself and wait for opportunities to move due to its ability to reflect the surrounding environment.

It just so happens that this kind of soul beast with a magnificent halo flowing all over its body also has a name that is very suitable for its characteristics and appearance-Mirror Shadow Beast.

Generally speaking, when faced with a mirror beast, it is difficult for ordinary soul masters to discern its hidden abilities.

The only thing that can be done is to step up vigilance when stepping into the mirror beast's habitat. Always be vigilant about the plants and trees around you. From time to time, you need to rely on long weapons to sweep out a safe area.

There are actually quite a few soul master adventure teams dedicated to hunting mirror beasts.

However, those who have experience mostly choose to step into the mirror beast's habitat in the dead of night, and find the mirror beast whose ability is halved at night and whose hiding ability is almost equal to zero.

Then hunt the soul beast.

The members of the adventure team do not necessarily hunt such soul beasts to obtain soul rings - because many times the members of these adventure teams hunt soul beasts before they have reached the bottleneck period, or they are too young to become a soul beast. The mirror beast of the soul ring was hunted. They hunted the mirror beast not to obtain the soul ring, but——

Just for the fantasy scales and fur of the Mirror Beast.

This time it was not just to sell scales and furs to nobles for reward, but also the reason why Hot gathered them - to help Oscar obtain the sixth soul ring.

The reason why they got together was because Hot promised that all soul beasts that were not mirror beasts would be sold and decided by the members who joined after them. He and Oscar would not take anything from them, but only those who met the mirror beasts would At that time, the first ownership right will belong to both of them.

Of course, in the face of this regulation, some people agree with it and some people disagree with it.

However, most of those who can join this team agree with Hot's regulations, or suppress their greed and dissatisfaction deeply enough that Hot, who has many years of team experience, cannot even see it.

It is not easy for more than ten people to hunt down a mirror beast with twenty thousand years of cultivation.

After all, they have no tacit understanding and no cooperation that can give full play to their strength, let alone the super strength of one plus one that is greater than two.

Without discounting it to 50%, they are considered a very reliable group of adventure team members, enough to be rated as an A-level team in the adventure team.

Oscar did not join the battle. In the past four years, in order to protect himself as much as possible, he basically displayed the character of a weak auxiliary soul master in front of these adventure team members.

You can fight, but at best you can fight.

Those members of the adventure team would not have any false ideas about a pure auxiliary soul master who could single-handedly kill soul beasts that were thousands or even ten thousand years old. What they wanted most was that this boy would not hold him back.

It's better if you can't fight, you have no worries, you don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back. At critical moments, you can just drop this kid and get a beast's mouth to escape. Who wouldn't be happy to have such a character in the team.

The same is true at this moment.

As an auxiliary soul master, Oscar provided his assistance before the battle began, and then huddled in a safe place at the rear, avoiding accidental damage from friendly attacks.

The remaining ten or so people, no, it cannot be said that more than ten people are fighting. Some combatants are obviously not inclined to attack, and they are also paddling on the outside.

All in all, their temporary cooperation team besieged a mirror beast, but they seemed to be at a disadvantage due to the lack of cooperation.

This is true even if there is a soul saint taking the lead in the team, not to mention that it is impossible for the soul saint to easily use the strongest and most soul-consuming martial soul avatar from the beginning.

Therefore, the mirror image beast's escape from the encirclement is naturally a foreseeable phenomenon.

However, what people didn't expect was that the mirror image beast's action of breaking through the encirclement looked like it had been planned for a long time.

It aimed at the weakest point of the siege and broke through, then aimed its huge claws at Oscar, who was hiding outside the team...

Hot: "Xiao Ao——!"

Hot is currently at the farthest place from Oscar. Even if he has used his martial soul true body, it is difficult to guarantee that he can save Oscar, let alone that he has not yet emerged from his martial soul true body.

When faced with a dangerous situation, instead of feeling anxious and uneasy, there is more of a stress-like calmness after the danger reaches the extreme.

Oscar's men were subconsciously resting on top of his inconspicuous soul guide, as if he was about to pull out something for a fight to the death at any moment, but he was still paying attention to the other team members out of the corner of his eye.

Especially the one member who was easily surrounded by the enemy, he saw...

When the man turned his head and lowered his head, there was a nasty curve on his face.
