Meng Yiran: I Have Everything I Need Now

"All right, stop fooling around. Let's follow that Soul Beast."

Jiang Li pinched Meng Yiran's cheek, then spoke.

"Huh?"

Meng Yiran rolled her eyes at Jiang Li and asked in confusion, "But didn't you say this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent wasn't suitable as the Soul Ring for my third Soul Skill?"

"That's why I said to follow that Soul Beast, not hunt it."

Jiang Li answered calmly, "If we're lucky, we might find an unexpected gain later."

As for this unexpected gain?

Naturally, he meant the External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, obtained after Tang San killed it in the original story.

The reason he was uncertain was simply a matter of probability. After all, Tang San in the original Douluo Continent story was the protagonist. As the protagonist favored by fate, wasn't it perfectly normal for him to obtain fortuitous encounters others could not?

If someone else killed it instead, that Man Faced Demon Spider might not necessarily drop an External Soul Bone.

Moreover, the Star Dou Great Forest was so vast that finding a specific Soul Beast there was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

So when Jiang Li had initially brought Meng Yiran to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Soul Ring, his target had not been the Man Faced Demon Spider.

He simply had not expected such a coincidence. Not long after entering the Star Dou Great Forest, they had encountered the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent from before the Man Faced Demon Spider appeared.

Since they were already here, if they happened to encounter that Man Faced Demon Spider from the original story, he could let Meng Yiran give it a try.

Meng Yiran nodded. Although she did not know what unexpected gain Jiang Li meant, she chose to trust him.
