"Hi ha."

A creature that stood and walked like a human but had the face of a wolf stared at the small village not far away with a ferocious smile, strands of fluid dripping from the corners of its mouth.

"Ah ah ah ah, wolf, wolf thief, run quickly, wolf thief, ah."

A shrill scream broke the quiet night of the small village.

A large number of wolf thieves roared into the village and jumped into the house. The smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.

"Don't, don't panic." A middle-aged man who looked like a village chief was holding a pitchfork, trying to calm down, and soothing and directing the villagers.

"Lot, you take the women and protect the children first..."

It was dark at night, and the villagers tensed up and listened to the village chief's instructions, but suddenly found that the village chief had stopped speaking.

"Village, village chief?"

A trembling villager took out a fire stick, rubbed it, and held it up to the village chief.

The air suddenly fell into oppressive silence.

The village chief, who was still commanding just now, now has his eyes wide open in shock. Although his eyes have lost their luster, a trace of disbelief can still be seen in them.

A sharp, hairy claw pierced the village chief's chest.

This is a thin and small wolf thief, huddled behind the body of the village chief.

When it saw the light of the fire, a trace of amusement flashed across its face. It stuck its head out and looked at the numerous "foods" in front of it. A greedy light flashed in its eyes, and it took out its paws and pounced on them.

"Ahhhhh~"

The screams were endless.

————————

There were corpses all over the place, but they were all human. Only one weak wolf fell among the many human corpses.

A young man was leaning against the wall. A horrific wound was torn open in his abdomen. It was visible to the naked eye that all the internal organs had been cut in half. The wound had turned black, and only a small amount of blood was slowly flowing out. The young man's body had begun to

Getting cold is a symptom of excessive blood loss.

"Why, why." The young man murmured weakly, "It's just one wolf thief, all of them are dead."

The wound twitched for a while, but the young man could no longer feel any pain.

"God, please, I don't want to die, save me."

The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and it was obvious that his god did not protect him.

"Da, da, da"

Slow footsteps sounded, and a figure in the darkness walked among the corpses everywhere holding a lantern with green light.

"Soul, breath of soul."

A hoarse voice sounded, the lantern in the figure's hand flickered slightly, and many green light spots emerged from the corpse and were sucked into the lantern.

The figure walked straight towards the center of the village without any pause.

"Hoo"

The leader of the wolf bandits, who was lying on the corpse and enjoying his meal, seemed to sense something. He raised his head and stared at the darkness with vigilance. The wildness of the beast made him keenly aware of something in the darkness that gave him a sense of danger.

"Tap, step, step."

Footsteps sounded, and a figure appeared. Looking at the wolf thief who was looking at him warily, no one could see the expression on the face hidden under the hood.

"Well, the beast-like body provides a stable soul structure, and the human-like intelligence provides high-quality soul quality, which is a great tonic."

The hoarse voice was full of joy.

The figure looked at the wolf thief who had slowly stood up, grinning aggressively, and grinned. Of course, no one could see that smile.

"Haha, resist? The unruly soul is worth more, so hand over your soul."

"roar"

A ruthless look flashed in the wolf thief's eyes, and he howled and rushed towards the figure first.

The lantern flashes with a stronger green light, and the frequency of flashing is faster.

Five soul rings of different colors appeared behind him, and the preparation was far beyond perfect: one yellow, two purple, and two black.

The yellow soul ring flickered and bloomed with bright light, and the lantern in the figure's hand randomly emitted a green light, covering the rope hook on the right hand that looked like a sickle at the end.

The figure looked at the wolf bandit leader who was flying in the air and rushed in front of him. He raised his hand and swung his hand. The reinforced rope hook hit the chest of the wolf bandit leader from bottom to top, sending him flying.

The body of the wolf bandit leader who fell to the side was covered with mist-like green light, mostly on his head.

The wolf bandit leader staggered to get up, but kept falling down. He shook his head, and when he looked at the figure again, there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

The figure shook his head, his words full of disdain, "He is a beast after all."

He shook his hand hard, and the hook flew out, tightly wrapping around the body of the wolf bandit leader. The first purple soul ring behind his back lit up, and a wave of waves followed the rope to the hook in an instant. The hook shook slightly and turned into

The semi-entity passed by the waist of the wolf bandit leader, and when it flew back, there was a bright green soul on the hook, the soul of the wolf bandit leader.

The figure looked at the hook flying back, raised his hand to hold the soul, but the hook let go as if it was alive and retracted into the figure's waist, hiding it in a robe.

The figure raised the soul in his hand to his face and took a deep breath as if he was enjoying something.

For a moment, the figure exerted force with his right hand, and with a slight squeeze, the soul of the wolf bandit leader exploded into a green mist that filled the sky, and was absorbed by the lantern.

The figure closed her eyes and savored something. After a long time, the figure opened her eyes again, but her eyes were full of madness.

"It's not enough, we need more..."

The figure's eye sockets were no longer eyeballs but blazing green flames.

The first black soul ring behind the figure lights up, but strangely attracts surrounding light like a black hole.

"itisnomereincidencethatourpathsintersect,$…………"

Weird, indescribable whispers appeared in the depths of the minds of all the wolf thieves present, and all the wolf thieves invariably became weak and irrational.

"Ho, ho~"

The wolf thieves collapsed on the ground, breathing hard.

"Oh"

The figure chuckled, his voice hoarse.

The first thousand-year soul ring behind him lit up again - the soul was shaking.

The bodies of all the wolf thieves present trembled, and their souls emerged from their bodies, flying uncontrollably towards the soul-guiding lamp in the figure's hand.

The figure quietly watched all the souls being taken into the lantern one after another, and smiled with satisfaction, still making that hoarse voice.

"Great harvest..."

Without hesitation, he turned around and plunged into the darkness again.

Another village has become a dead zone.

————————

Wuhun Palace is the number one force on Douluo Continent, at least for now.

"Who?"

The guard at the side entrance of Wuhun Palace looked warily into the shadow of the forest in front of the door.

"Tap, step, step"

A figure hidden under a dark green robe slowly appeared.

Seeing this figure, the guard obviously relaxed.

"Lord Hals."

The two guards saluted respectfully, but Hals did not respond and walked straight into the palace.

"Lord Hals, the Pope has an order asking you to find him when you come back."

Hals paused slightly, nodded, and left.

"Lord Hals is still so scary." A guard trembled and said to his companions.

"That's true, but Master Hals is already the Soul King at such a young age."

Hals walked slowly and leisurely, and it took him a long time to reach the Pope's Palace. Without hesitation, Hals opened the door and walked in.

"You're here, Hals."

Sitting on the throne is a man with a gloomy face. He is Qian Xunji, the current Pope of Wuhun Palace.

Hals leaned forward slightly, still holding the lantern, but did not look directly at Qian Xunji.

"Yes, my lord."

"You are very good, Hals." Qianxunji's satisfaction with Hals was unabashedly displayed on his face, "I see all your performances, your loyalty to Wuhun Palace, your

My loyalty, that's good."
