Chapter 330 Barbarians 2 (1/2)
[Goblet of Soul]: Special item, the goblet where the Barbarians' souls are kept.
The Goblet of Soul was forged by Roche Crystals, which were finely processed from Roche Bricks. There was a total of thousands of cross-sections, which were sharp and biting cold, and holding it with one's palm was as though holding an iron sword.
Tiny sparks of flames were burning in the middle of the Goblet of Soul. The fire wobbled and looked shaky as if it might extinguish at any moment.
'What is this thing?' Lin Jie flipped that goblet here and there, but he did not find anything special about it. Thus, he conveniently threw the goblet into his backpack. 'This may be a mission item, so I'll just leave it there first.'
Ding~
—'Living creatures are not allowed to enter the backpack.'
'Oh?' Lin Jie couldn't help but grin. In The New Age, there were many immortals such as Liches or human Legendary Grand Mages. They would use means such as entrusting their souls on an object to prolong their lives. It looked like this Goblet of Soul also hid something.
”Barbarians pick: Come out to talk yourselves, or should I force you out?” Lin Jie played with the Goblet of Soul by spinning it in circles, but he did receive any response.
Lin Jie shrugged as wanting to deal with such a goblet was too simple. He placed the Goblet of Soul in front of him and blew gently…
”Stop!”
”Human, I will kill you!”
”Don't extinguish the fire!”
Three voices could be heard from the goblet almost simultaneously as three small souls in the shape of a human appeared from within the goblet. Bloodlust was emanated viciously like ferocious beasts. They were three souls that belonged to Barbarians.
Lin Jie had come into contact with quite the number of soul containers, so how could the secret of this goblet be able to be hidden from him? For this Goblet of Soul, the souls would instantly disperse as long as the fire was extinguished.

'It's actually clan heads? Looks like it is real that the Ancient Wilderness Temple had accepted Barbarians in.' Lin Jie's turned his eyes, and an idea instantly popped up in his head. He let out an evil smile and said, ”Hello Clan Heads, I am an adventurer, who was attracted by your fame, and I came here…”
”Hmph, I can see that you are an adventurer, but I understand even more deeply that you are an alternate realm human, the so-called representative of gods. You could revive infinitely, being reborn repeatedly, and have endless growth potential.” The Clan Head named Mouma sneered, then he waved his hand and said, ”Since you are able to sneak into the Ancient Wilderness Temple, it means your ability is quite strong. I have a mission here, go and kill the Magus Berserker hidden within the temple, I will give you some rewards that cannot be imagined!”
Ding~
—'Do you accept the mission [Kill Magus Berserker]?'
Lin Jie sneered and inverted the Goblet of Soul. The three little souls instantly turned upside down.
”You're only left with a soul, and you still dare to speak like that. Giving me a mission? Barbarian, you better take a good look and understand your situation.” Lin Jie gathered Blade Aura onto his fingertips and pierced towards the goblet, accurately piercing into Mouma's chest through the fire.
”Tssss” a sound like cold water was poured onto charcoal, could be heard, and the Barbarian Clan Head's soul was so easily extinguished by Lin Jie. 1/3 of the fire in the goblet was evidently extinguished and became shakier as if it was going to go out at any time.
”Damned human, you dare do this to us? Do you know who I am? I was the Barbarian Head of 300 tribes and ruled the Northwest Wastelands… Ah, what are you doing?”
Amongst the two survivors, the Barbarian Head named Lacarot was about to reveal his impressive and shocking title, but what greeted him was the second Aura Blade, which pierced him. He did not even have time to say the second half of his sentence, and his soul disappeared!
Lin Jie casually looked at the last Barbarian soul, smiled calmly, and said, ”How about you?”
”Respectable Warrior, it's my pleasure to meet you.” The last Barbarian was obviously much smarter and changed into a straight face as he bowed respectfully. ”Barbarian Graham shows my respect for you.”
”Very good, you are more tactful than the other two.” Lin Jie nodded laudably. ”Since you have that awareness, then turn into a Character Role Card to show your loyalty as I have many questions to ask you. However, if you don't show your loyalty, I can't trust you no matter what. I don't want a snake in my bosom, so I would rather kill you than take a bet of your betrayal.”
”You!” The Barbarian Clan Head's soul let out a scream of Soul Rage and gathered to form a whirlpool, which was about to attack Lin Jie. However, once he saw Lin Jie's cold glare, he hurriedly stopped his attack. He gritted his teeth and said, ”Barbarians will never surrender, I'll defend to the death the principle of the Barbarians! Even if you kill me—”
Lin Jie gathered his Blade Aura again and gradually closed in to the Goblet of Soul.
There are many dangers in the Ancient Wilderness Temple, so he was unwilling to bring some Barbarian that might get in his way.
'What if the Barbarian triggers some trap, then wouldn't I die a horrible death?'
The Blade Aura neared the goblet, it was almost about to extinguish the fire.
”Stop, stop! I'm willing to yield!” shouted Graham loudly. Then his body turned into a half-transparent Character Role Card but still in the soul state, which needed to rely on the Goblet of Soul to survive.
Lin Jie looked intrigued as he read the card.
