It had been three days since Han Li left Spirit City.
Inside the carriage, Han Li and Broad Hill were nestled comfortably on the sofa, taking leisurely sips of tea from the small table beside them, tossing snacks into their mouths, and reading storybooks in their hands, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
"Little Li, what shall we have for lunch? Hot pot or barbecue?"
Broad Hill turned his head and asked languidly.
"Either is fine, whatever you want, Master. But isn't it a bit early now? Let's wait a bit," Han Li replied casually, putting down the storybook in his hand.
"Alright, we'll call Rosa Go along then," Broad Hill nodded.
"Mm."
Han Li had no objections. To be honest, this was the first time he had met this Soul Emperor who was driving the carriage. It wasn't until they had traveled for half a day that he learned the man's name from Broad Hill, and he almost lost control of his emotions.
Master Luo, what a deeply memorable name. Coincidentally, this man's Martial Soul was also bizarre—a formless insect, a Spiritual Power-based control-type Soul Emperor with a control skill called "Spirit Body Thread." The buffs were stacked to the max.
He himself was very pleased with Han Li's address. The Fifth Elder's disciple was calling him "Master Luo." Although he didn't have a surname, he didn't mind being given one. These words came from a future Titled Douluo, so he would take the surname Luo from now on, and his title would be "Master Luo." Anyone who objected would have to deal with him.
Moreover, Han Li thoughtfully reminded him to be extremely careful in future battles and not to charge in alone without preparation, regardless of whether the enemy was much weaker than him.
How heartwarming! Rosa Go was so moved that he couldn't wait to go back and brag to his colleagues, if he didn't have to drive the carriage.
"Master Luo, lunch is ready."
After traveling for a while longer, Rosa Go heard Han Li's call from the carriage. He immediately stopped the carriage by the roadside and carefully entered the carriage.
...
Nothing unexpected happened along the way. They passed many small towns, and this novel mode of transportation attracted the attention of many people. However, when they saw the Spirit Hall emblem on the outside of the carriage and discovered that the driver was also a powerful Soul Master, no one dared to approach and strike up a conversation.
Thus, after traveling for nearly ten days, the three of them successfully arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest at noon.
Leaving Rosa Go to guard the carriage in the town outside, the master and disciple stepped down from the carriage. Ignoring the gazes of those around them and the shouts of many people asking to team up, they walked directly towards the Spirit Hall deacon who was already waiting.
"Has there been any change in the information about the Golden Scale Eagle?"
Broad Hill took out his token and waved it, stopping the deacon from saluting, and asked directly.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, according to our information, there have been no major changes. The Golden Scale Eagle is still at a cliff in the mixed zone. This is a detailed map, please take a look."
The deacon quickly answered the question while respectfully handing over a detailed map.
"Mm, not bad. Alright, you can withdraw. You don't need to worry about the rest," Broad Hill waved his hand, signaling the deacon to retreat, but was stopped by Han Li.
"Thank you for your hard work, Deacon. This is a small token of our appreciation. Please use it to treat everyone to tea. Han Li thanks you all for the information."
Han Li smiled and handed over a bag that he had prepared in advance, containing one thousand Gold Soul Coins.
The deacon quickly refused, "Sir, this is what we should do. The money... the item is not necessary, it's against the rules."
Broad Hill rolled his eyes, very disapproving of his disciple's behavior, but still said, "Alright, take it. This is his gift, no one will hold you accountable."
"This..."
The deacon was covered in sweat, he really didn't dare to take it.
"Alright, take it, this is also acting under orders."
Han Li stuffed the bag into his hand, ignoring his subsequent actions, and followed the impatient Broad Hill towards the edge of the forest.
Both of them moved at a good pace, and soon their figures were swallowed by the forest.
As they gradually went deeper, the surrounding grass and trees became more and more lush, and the noise faded away, forming a sharp contrast with the shouts that rose and fell in the town just now.
"The air here is really good."
Han Li habitually commented. From the moment he stepped out of the town, he had immediately grasped the Ice Fire Bow in his hand and spread his senses to the limit. Through the ability of his antennae, the surrounding environment, humidity, and traces of humans and animals were clearly fed back to his mind.
"Mm, your vigilance is not bad. Next, the hunt will be completed by yourself. Although I will follow you, I will restrain my aura. Be careful yourself, it's a good opportunity to test the results of your usual training."
Broad Hill nodded in satisfaction at his actions, and then reminded him.
"No problem, Master. As long as you don't eat chicken legs, don't drink alcohol, and don't actively provoke 100,000-year Soul Beasts, I guarantee I won't die," Han Li replied with a smile.
Broad Hill smacked him on the head, annoyed, and kicked Han Li away. Although he didn't understand what Han Li was saying, his intuition told him it wasn't anything good.
He deliberately dropped back a bit, but always made sure Han Li was within his sight and attack range.
Since there was a clear map marker, Han Li didn't run around randomly, obediently following the route marked on it towards their destination.
There were quite a few Soul Beasts on the periphery, but they were mostly ten-year Soul Beasts, with few hundred-year ones. Han Li easily used his Spiritual Power to drive them away from his path.
He proceeded cautiously for a long time. Finally, within Han Li's Spiritual Power range, millennium-level Soul Beasts appeared. He increased his vigilance considerably, until he entered the mixed zone marked on the map. He switched the Ice Fire Bow in his hand to the Ice Fire Blade, in case of an attack.
The sky gradually darkened, and Han Li voluntarily stopped, calling out behind him, "Teacher."
As soon as he spoke, Broad Hill appeared beside him, "What? Not planning to continue?"
Han Li answered decisively, "No, although I don't rely entirely on my eyes to see, there's no need to take risks. My condition is already close to the warning line I set for myself, and continuing would be difficult."
Broad Hill looked at Han Li, who showed no signs of fatigue, and his lips twitched. This disciple was really cautious. He could guarantee that Han Li's Spiritual Power consumption was no more than 30%, he hadn't experienced any battles in the afternoon, and his Soul Power was still abundant. As for this distance, without gravity or weight, it wasn't even a tenth of his training volume. It was really hard to judge.
"Then what do you plan to do?" Broad Hill asked.
"If Teacher keeps watch, then I'll camp here. This place is quite suitable. If you don't agree, then we'll retreat immediately to the periphery to rest. I've already chosen a place on the way here. We can set off again early tomorrow morning and arrive at our destination around two in the afternoon, which is safe enough."
Han Li answered without thinking. Obviously, he had already made a plan.
Broad Hill looked at the disciple in front of him and sighed, "Rest here. I'll keep watch."
Han Li grinned, and immediately brandished the Fire Blade, clearing out a campsite of a moderate size. He then controlled the flames to extinguish them, preventing them from spreading.
Broad Hill stood aside, not disturbing him, just watching quietly.
In less than half an hour, Han Li had everything prepared. The edges of the campsite were sprinkled with some medicinal powder, and a bonfire burned constantly in the center, with a pre-made frame above it, suspending three pots, which were cooking different foods, emitting an enticing aroma.
Next to him on the ground, there were cut stones underneath, and two exquisite blankets spread on top. Hmm, they even came with blankets to cover themselves with, it was more like camping than Soul Beast hunting, Broad Hill thought speechlessly, looking up at the sky.
"Okay, it's time to eat, Teacher," Han Li called out.
"You really came prepared. You planned for me to keep watch all along, didn't you?"
Broad Hill took the hot soup and took a sip, asking casually.
"How could that be? This is Teacher's love. If you hadn't agreed, I would have retreated to the periphery long ago."
Han Li's smile was very bright in the firelight. If there are difficulties, find Teacher, this was his unique secret.
