Chapter 534 Abyss: Odin
After collecting the feathers and body of the weeping bird, Zhou Qing suddenly turned around.
Tang San followed closely behind.
Romantina and Xiaowu came next.
Wang Sheng came again.
Finally, when Li Ke saw the five people suddenly turn around, she turned around belatedly.
There was an undisguised rustling sound from the woods behind me.
Sa——
A cold wind blew by, and a woman who was over two meters tall, slender, pale, squinting eyes, with black and white hair (it was black overall, but there was a white area on both sides, and the bangs in the middle of the forehead were also white), walked out of the woods with a listless look.
"Oh, oh, there are new explorers and foreign adventurers arriving." The woman's voice was as weak as her mental state, as if she would collapse at any time.
But Zhou Qing and Tang San were able to sense each other's strength and the powerful fluctuations of their soul power.
Although within the range of Abyss, the specific levels of soul power cannot be perceived as clearly as in Douluo Continent, they can all perceive that the cultivation level of the woman in front of them is at the Soul Saint stage.
However, judging from the other person's round face, which is consistent with the residents of Abyss Town, it can be confirmed that the other person is also from Abyss.
But why is she so tall?
After all, in Abyss Town, a height of meters is considered tall, but this woman's height is as high as 2 meters.
Of course, Zhou Qing didn’t pay too much attention to this. Maybe this woman was born tall?
"Hello, beautiful lady, who are you?"
Zhou Qing took a step forward, bowed slightly, and asked her name and identity.
"Odin."
The woman walked up to Zhou Qing, bowed slightly, and reached out to support Zhou Qing's chin.
Swish!
But Zhou Qing jumped backwards to avoid the opponent's hand.
Odin was not angry. Instead, he looked at Zhou Qing's legs and praised, "Very good legs! Most of the adventurers from outside call themselves soul masters, but unfortunately, they cannot use soul skills here, so it is difficult for them to fully exert their strength."
"But you are different. You have well-proportioned muscles. You must have undergone very hard training. Moreover, you are able to control the soul power in your body very accurately to the extent that you can accurately strengthen a certain part of your body. This is very remarkable."
Having said that, Odin turned around, waved at Zhou Qing and the others, and said, "Come to my place. If you want to go to the lower level, you have to go through me. There is no other way down on this second level."
Tang San put the soul guide hidden weapon in his hand into the moon in the twelfth floor, and asked Zhou Qing in a low voice: "Do you want to follow her?"
"Liko, do you know her identity?" Zhou Qing asked Liko.
"Odin?"
Riko thought for a moment before she tentatively said, "I heard from Aber that she seems to be the guardian of the second floor and also the tester. If you want to go to the third floor, explorers who have not joined the exploration guild must pass her test and gain her approval. It is said that she does not want people with insufficient abilities to die in vain."
"Follow up."
After walking about ten meters, Odin turned back and said, "Also, I heard what you said just now. It's not that I don't want people with insufficient abilities to die in vain, but those who are not competent enough will die in my hands first, and the same goes for you, Aber's student."
However, Riko was stunned, then ran up and asked, "Ms. Odin, do you know Mr. Aber?"
"Yes, she is my student."
"No!" Li Ke shook her head vigorously, but there was a hint of expectation in her eyes, "He is my mother's student, and my mother is Bai Di..."
Before she finished her words, she saw a white whistle hanging around Odin's neck. There were seven holes on it, and on both sides above the whistle, there were two sharp protrusions. The whole thing looked like a fist-sized bull skull.
"My mother's name is not Odin, her name is——"
"Lesa."
It was Odin who spoke.
"Are you my mother?" Li Ke's eyes were full of expectation, thinking that her mother had changed her name.
"No."
Odin still had that expressionless face. "Can't a student have two teachers at the same time? When I was young, many explorers taught me. Although they have long since died, they are still my teachers. If a person only has one teacher in his life, then that person must be living in a dream woven by others, and will never be able to grow. He can only become a substitute for the continuation of the teacher's will."
Riko's expectations were mostly gone, but Odin's words clearly showed that he knew her mother, and it was even possible that -
"Are you friends with my mother?"
"No, I'm her teacher." Odin's words shocked Riko.
On the contrary, Zhou Qing and his companions felt that Odin was quite easy-going. He was not only the teacher of Riko's mother, but also the teacher of Riko's mother's students. Apart from being a bit naturally listless, he was an open-minded elder who would not rely on his seniority to suppress others.
Noticing Zhou Qing and the others' behavior, Odin showed a slight surprise for the first time on his face, and said, "Has the outside world changed a lot now? If other spirit masters hear me say this, I'm afraid they will scold me for 'disordering the superior and the inferior'."
"No, there is no change. It's just that our thoughts may be closer to yours, the Abyss people, so we think this is no big deal." Zhou Qing explained.
"When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher. I will choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones." Tang San said a famous saying from "The Analects of Confucius" without any hesitation.
"Oh?"
Odin was even more surprised. “It seems that people are the same whether they are inside or outside the world. They always have different ideas.”
At this point, the atmosphere became gloomy, but Odin continued, "Perhaps, you are unusual. If there is a chance in the future, can you invite me to go outside and take a look? I have lived for nearly seventy years and have never left the town of Abyss. After becoming a White Flute explorer, my mentality has changed due to some experiences -"
As he spoke, Odin touched the white flute on his chest, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
"So, I gave up exploring further down and stayed on the second floor to help the guild test the explorers who came down alone."
"Okay." Zhou Qing agreed.
"You agreed so quickly." Odin's voice was still weak, but his tone was a little playful. "Your age is not proportional to your height, right?"
"Nine years old." Zhou Qing did not hide it.
“...It’s indeed a little small, but its strength is terrifyingly strong.”
Odin's face was still as pale as ever, but her narrowed eyes slightly opened. This was perhaps the most exaggerated expression she could make.
"Although I haven't tested you yet, I have an extremely keen sense of dangerous creatures. It seems that if I attack you, you will be fatally injured in the first place."
"Martial Soul... The soul masters in the outside world are really amazing. They have things given by God, but the people of Abyss are different. They have to create everything with their own hands."
Zhou Qing shook his head: "No, I think that the talents of Abyss are more rare and precious!"
