Douluo: Make a gun first

Chapter 103 Star Hunting Soul, Fire Owl

The half-day journey passed in a flash. Under the diligent leadership of Ma Hongjun, the group passed through dozens of volcanoes and found an inconspicuous small active volcano among many volcanic groups.

This active volcano is really small, with a height of less than 50 meters and a crater diameter of only about 10 meters.

There was no billowing smoke, nor was there any magma gushing out. There was only a heat wave that scorched the air in the less than two hundred square meters above the crater.

"We're here! This is it." Upon seeing the small volcano, Ma Hongjun immediately shouted excitedly.

"Last time when my teacher brought me here to look for the flaming falcon, we found the nest of the fire owl right here."

Shen Feng looked around and observed the surrounding environment. He found that this small volcano was really inconspicuous surrounded by many large volcanoes with billowing smoke and magma spewing.

If Ma Hongjun hadn't brought everyone here, I'm afraid not many people would be able to find this place.

"This place is hidden enough, and it is indeed suitable for an owl-like soul beast to build a nest here."

"However, owl-like spirit beasts usually move around at night. During the day, they usually hide in caves to rest. If we rashly climb up the volcano to look for them, we are likely to alert them and cause them to hide in the caves."

"So I suggest we wait until they come out to hunt at night and then we can take advantage of the opportunity to kill them."

Zhao Wuji asked in confusion: "Xiao Feng, what exactly is this owl you are talking about? Why is it a bird that hides during the day and comes out at night to hunt?"

"I've only heard of an owl among the nocturnal birds, but what is this owl?"

Shen Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Uncle, this owl is an owl, and a fire owl is an owl with fire attributes. It's just that the name of a fire owl sounds weird, so we call them fire owls."

"By analogy, an owl with wind attributes is called a wind owl, an owl with thunder attributes is called a thunder owl, and so on."

"Although they have the attribute of fire, fire owls still retain the habit of hiding during the day and coming out at night. At night, they will ignite flames on their bodies, and then set fire to trees and grass, attracting soul beasts that like firelight to come closer, and then kill them effortlessly."

Zhao Wuji chuckled: "So that's great? Then at night, won't we be able to find them easily?"

Shen Feng nodded: "That's right, so now we just need to rest well and wait for dark."

After saying this, Shen Feng took out several transparent glass bottles from his Ruyi treasure bag, which were filled with densely packed white jade-colored bee pupae.

"It just so happens that while we still have time, let's have a nice meal."

Everyone was stunned.

Ma Hongjun swallowed his saliva and asked, "Brother Feng, where did you get so many bee pupae?"

Shen Feng chuckled: "Last time we helped the white jade bees move, they gave me some bee pupae as a reward to thank us."

"Why? You didn't?"

"You must have been lazy. I think Xiao Ao also received it."

Oscar was stunned for a moment, and took out two large glass bottles from the soul guide, which were filled with sticky paste, one as bright as gold, and the other as smooth as jade.

"I don't have any bee pupae, only these two bottles of honey. The golden one is white jade royal jelly, and the white jade one is white jade healing honey."

Except for Dugu Bo and Ye Lingling, everyone else looked at each other and silently took out more or less things from their soul guides, mostly honey and a small amount of bee pupae.

Lingna burst out laughing: "Xiaojun, we have also received our rewards. It seems that you must have been lazy at that time."

Ma Hongjun stared blankly at the things in everyone's hands, feeling dizzy: "You, why didn't you tell me that these things are edible!!"

Shen Feng smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? I remember when Xiao Ao obtained the spirit ring two years ago, I told you that the White Jade Healing God Honey has the function of healing and restoring spiritual power."

"Didn't you hear?"

Ma Hongjun was speechless for a moment, "I, I, I forgot"

Zhao Wuji shook his head helplessly and walked forward to pat Ma Hongjun on the shoulder.

"Xiaojun, as someone who has been through this, I'll teach you a lesson."

"It's not easy for us soul masters to practice. When we are exploring, no matter what strange things we encounter, we must carefully collect some and then keep them properly, in case we find out their uses by chance in the future, and then we will regret it." Ma Hongjun nodded uncomfortably and looked at Ye Lingling sadly.

"Sister-in-law Lingling, it seems that we are the only two who have no extra gains."

Ye Lingling covered her mouth and chuckled: "Xiaojun, I'm so sorry. Actually, I also gained something."

As she spoke, Ye Lingling took out a bottle of sticky red liquid from her soul guide: "Dragon Blood Tree Juice."

"Xiao Feng said that the juice of the dragon blood tree has a good healing effect, so I collected some and plan to study it when I have time in the future."

Ye Lingling's words were like a heavy stick, hitting Ma Hongjun hard on the head.

"Oh, haha, really, I'm crying. How could I be so stupid as to compare myself with smart people like you?"

Shen Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He walked behind Ma Hongjun with a few bottles of bee pupae and kicked him in the butt.

"What a hypocritical bullshit! How big of a difference is there between our harvest and yours? Are you still going to eat this bee pupa?"

Ma Hongjun staggered suddenly, and started nodding repeatedly before he could even stand firmly.

"Eat, eat, eat. I love these little things the most. They taste like chicken, are crunchy, and are ten times more nutritious than beef."

"Come over and help with the ingredients if you want to eat."

"Old man, please help me build a clay stove."

Dugu Bo hummed lightly, and with a slight movement of his mind, a simple earthen stove slowly grew out of the ground.

Night falls slowly.

With Ye Lingling and Oscar, two qualified auxiliary soul masters, the white jade bee pupae prepared in various ways, such as charcoal grilled, fried, and dry-fried, were a feast for everyone.

While hesitating, Dugu Bo suddenly sensed something and turned to look in the direction of the small volcano.

The next moment, several streaks of fire flew out from the crater like meteors, shooting straight into the sky, then spun in the air and swooped down towards where everyone was.

Dugu Bo was immediately amused, "What a beast, he actually walked into the trap himself."

Shen Feng was also stunned. He turned his head to look at the bonfire burning around everyone and instantly understood.

This group of fire owls probably thought they were prey attracted by the fire.

Zhao Wuji rubbed his hands together and laughed loudly, "Senior, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? Let me do it this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, seven soul rings, two yellow, two purple and three black, rose one by one from under Zhao Wuji's feet, and the powerful aura of a Soul Saint immediately spread out.

Realizing that something was wrong, the fire owl in the sky suddenly panicked, immediately stopped diving, turned around and fled in all directions.

Zhao Wuji chuckled: "Still want to run? It's too late!"

Zhao Wuji opened his arms with his ten fingers pointing outward.

"The fifth soul skill: gravity squeeze."

The fifth soul ring lit up, and Zhao Wuji quickly clasped his arms together, clasping his ten fingers together. A gravitational field covering a kilometer instantly appeared in the air, quickly pulling back the fleeing fire owls and pressing them into a ball.

Then, a burning ball of fire fell from the sky, and Zhao Wuji patted the back of the head of Ma Hongjun beside him.

"Rough and simple, catch everything in one fell swoop. Go and choose your spirit ring."

Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up and he ran excitedly towards the crushed fire owl.

Not long after, accompanied by a gunshot, a purple soul ring also floated in the air.
