Chapter 114: First Battle
"Yes, I heard you taught it to Ma Hongjun. It can suppress the evil fire in Ma Hongjun's body, allowing Ma Hongjun to cultivate normally." Oscar nodded and said to Shi Lin.
Oscar was also puzzled; what did Shi Lin mean by suddenly saying this?
"That insect can not only absorb the energy of evil fire, but also increase the destructive power of Ma Hongjun's flames and conserve soul power," Shi Lin explained to Oscar with a smile, spreading his hands.
After hearing Shi Lin's words, Oscar's eyes were filled with confusion.
Judging from Shi Lin's description, this thing seems to be very precious. Why did he tell me about it?
Could it be that there are still some left? But I'm not a fire-attribute soul master, so these Gu worms won't improve me much.
"By the way, I also have other types of insects that need your blood to form a contract. After the contract is formed, you will also have some combat power. In that case, we won't have to worry too much about you when we fight," Shi Lin said seriously to Oscar.
Oscar's eyes lit up after hearing Shi Lin's words, but then he hesitated.
Oscar wasn't one of Shi Lin's people after all, so this thing was far too valuable to him.
"Brother Lin, let's save these good stuff for Brother An and Sister Lin Yu. I'm a support-type Soul Master, I don't even need to get involved in fights, so I don't need it." Oscar said to Shi Lin with a faint smile.
Shi Lin could see that Oscar's eyes were full of reluctance, after all, this thing was very important to support-type Soul Masters.
It was precisely because Oscar rejected Shi Lin that Shi Lin held Oscar in even higher regard.
Knowing when to advance and when to retreat, and not being greedy—these are truly excellent qualities.
"Take what I give you, don't worry, they all have it! They won't be left out. However, using this thing requires training, and we don't have the conditions right now. I originally planned to assign it to you after you returned to the Shi family, but it's easy to get into danger when we leave Heaven Dou City this time, so I'm letting you learn this skill in advance." Shi Lin stood up, patted Oscar on the shoulder, and explained with a smile.
"Well…" Oscar frowned slightly after hearing Shi Lin's words.
To be honest, Oscar knew that as a support-type Soul Master, his safety was the most serious issue.
If one can possess a certain level of combat capability, then one's ability to protect oneself on the battlefield will be greatly enhanced.
For a moment, Oscar was at a loss for what to do.
Shi Lin noticed Oscar's hesitation, but he didn't urge him. He simply waited for Oscar to make a decision.
"Then thank you very much, Brother Lin! From now on, I, Oscar, will join the Shi family!" Oscar stood up and bowed respectfully to Shi Lin.
"That's great! Come on, I'll teach you how to contract this kind of insect!" Shi Lin stood up, patted Oscar on the shoulder with a smile, and said to Oscar, his tone full of joy.
"Thank you, Brother Lin!" Oscar replied.
Next, Shi Lin carefully explained the contract method of the Gu worm to Oscar, and taught him how to use the Gu worm step by step.
Shi Lin assigned Oscar two high-grade Silver Moon Gu and four top-grade Bamboo Leaf Gu, which was enough to deal with Oscar's level of power-attack type Soul Master.
After successfully contracting six Gu worms, Oscar immediately wanted to test their power.
Shi Lin quickly stopped Oscar.
"This thing is quite powerful. Let's try using it when we have a chance to leave Heaven Dou City," Shi Lin quickly stopped Oscar.
The Bamboo Leaf Gu works like a crossbow bolt when fired individually, and like a landmine when fired in groups. Shi Lin and Oscar were nearby when the Bamboo Leaf Gu were fired. If Oscar used it wrong, the two of them would be turned into hedgehogs.
"Hehe." Oscar scratched his head awkwardly.
"Alright, get some rest. We still need to purchase a lot of supplies tomorrow and the day after," Shi Lin said softly, patting Oscar on the shoulder.
"Thank you so much, Brother Lin!" Oscar thanked Shi Lin again. During this time, Oscar had also learned about Shi Lin's attitude towards him.
It could be said that the non-standard was good, so Oscar's sense of belonging to Shi Lin also increased dramatically.
After leaving Oscar's room, Shi Lin went to find Ma Hongjun.
He took several flame stones from Ma Hongjun's hand; these were stones that could be used to refine the Fire Seed Gu.
Shi Lin planned to equip Ma Hongjun with Gu worms as well, so that the group could unleash their full fighting power.
After doing all that, Shi Lin returned to his room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep shortly afterward.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Shi Lin and his companions purchased a large amount of various supplies in Heaven Dou City.
Food, drink, seeds, saplings, building materials, ores, damaged soul tools...
In short, Shi Lin had spent all the gold soul coins he needed, and one-third of his soul tools were now full.
Although these soul tools are on the verge of collapse, they are still usable, so using them temporarily is not a big problem. Shi Lin can repair one in about two days.
It won't be long before Shi Lin can repair all the soul tools, and then there will be no need to worry about the soul tools being damaged and the important items inside being lost.
As for the soul tool that the restaurant owner gave to Shi Lin, it has been repaired and Shi Lin gave it directly to Oscar.
This really excited Oscar.
Just as Shi Lin was pondering what he was missing, Oscar pushed open the door that was not yet closed and came to stand in front of Shi Lin.
"Brother Lin, everything is ready, we can set off anytime." Oscar said with a smile as he approached Shi Lin.
During those three days, he spent so much money that his hands cramped, which can be described as extremely satisfying.
Oscar had just entered Shi Lin's room when Lin Yu followed closely behind and also entered Shi Lin's room.
"Young Master, everything is ready here. Ma Hongjun and Brother An have gone to the backyard to prepare the carriage," Lin Yu said respectfully, bowing to Shi Lin.
"Alright, let's go." Shi Lin looked at the two of them, then smiled and waved, leading them out of his room.
Lin Yu had already paid the bill at the restaurant, so Shi Lin didn't need to pay again.
After leaving the restaurant, Shi Lin saw the carriage parked by the roadside.
The carriage was entirely black and looked exceptionally sturdy. It had two large wheels and four auxiliary wheels, with a layer of iron armor sandwiched between two layers of wood, making it extremely defensive.
However, the cart was very heavy and required three horses to pull it.
This was purchased by Shi Lin at a high price.
In addition to the reinforced version of the carriage, there is also a reinforced version of the camping cabin, both of which are made of two layers of wood with a layer of iron armor sandwiched between them.
Then, the three of them got into the carriage.
Shi An immediately raised his whip and led the carriage away from Heaven Dou City.
