Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 897 Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product
At Bailu Mountain, they walked carefully on the ground slightly wet with night dew, taking every step with extreme caution.

The moonlight penetrated the thin clouds, illuminating the ground in patches, guiding their way in the dark forest.

After a day of difficult searching, their eyes finally focused on a hidden valley.

As they went deeper into the valley, a warm and bright atmosphere spread, which was the unique breath of the Fiery Guardian Beast.

Finally, in an open space, they saw the figures of the group of blazing guardian beasts.

Although these soul beasts are small in size, they shine brightly. They are either standing or lying down, leisurely and contented, unaware of the approach of outsiders.

The Blazing Guardian has a unique appearance, resembling a horned hound, covered in shining golden scales that reflect the moonlight and have its own halo. Its eyes are like sparkling gems, flashing warm amber light.

The horns are not sharp but have a gentle arc; the tail is short and fluffy, and the end is scattered into thin silky light bands, which can be dispelled by a slight shake.

Chen Mu looked around and frowned, "Twenty... thirty... There are too many Blazing Guardian Beasts here, maybe forty or fifty."

Chen Shurui nodded slowly, his eyes deep: "Indeed, Blazing Light Guardians live in families, which is very different from the common tribal structure. Usually there are only a dozen or so at most, but there is no such a large family."

He stroked a tree trunk beside him and complained, "I originally just wanted to find a guardian beast that was six or seven thousand years old. Now it seems that this task has become much more complicated."

Zhang Ci also frowned slightly, and said helplessly: "The situation is indeed not optimistic."

"With our strength, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg if we want to fight against such a group of Blazing Guardian Beasts."

"Especially those beings above the level of Beast King. Each one of them is enough to give us a headache."

"And the most powerful one is probably close to the realm of the True King."

Chen Bin's body was shaken, and he said in a deep voice: "Despite this, since we have come here, we cannot retreat easily; fighting is our only choice."

Dugu Fu looked around, searching for a possible breakthrough: "But, fighting head-on is obviously not a wise move. We need to find a better strategy."

Ma Liang's eyes rolled: "Perhaps, Teacher Zhang and I can lure some of the guardian beasts away."

However, Zhang Ci shook his head and rejected the proposal: "This is not feasible. They are not brainless soul beasts. They are very intelligent and focus on teamwork."

"If they want to come out, they usually come out together."

"With our strength, it would be difficult to withstand the large number of Blazing Guardian Beasts that have been lured out."

"Once we reveal a flaw, we will likely be besieged and killed by them."

"The most important thing is that it takes a lot of time to absorb the spirit ring. Even if we succeed by chance, there is not enough time."

Chen Shurui also nodded. He had also done his homework and added, "Besides, the name of 'guardian' of the Blazing Guardian Beast is not in vain."

"They have extremely strong defense capabilities, and they are very determined and restrained in guarding their territory."

"Once we get close to the edge of their territory, they turn right back and don't give us any chance."

Zhu Wuneng scratched his head. "Is it possible to find something that would make them jealous and crazy? For example, some kind of precious treasure or food that they can't resist?"

Chen Bin pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I am not very clear about the situation of madness, but if we want to make them jealous and out of control, perhaps only their mortal enemy, the Shadow Scaled Beast, can do it."

"However, the Shadow Scaled Beasts are secretive, and it is not easy to find them."

Dugu Fu sighed and said helplessly: "Then we can lure the Shadow Scaled Beasts here as well? But these guys are hiding underground, and it's hard to even find them."

Chen Xiaojun looked at everyone with a serious expression: "Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother, since you are already here, do you have any backup plans?"

Chen Shurui and Chen Bin looked at each other and shook their heads.

Chen Shurui smiled bitterly and said, "Backup plan? We originally thought that this mission would be relatively simple, so we didn't prepare too many backup plans."

"It now seems that we may need to reassess the situation."

Chen Bin pondered for a while before slowly speaking: "This Blazing Guardian Beast and Shadow Scaled Beast both have a special liking for a strange item called 'Light and Dark Interwoven Dew'."

"This dew radiates light during the day and turns dark when night falls. It is truly magical."

Zhu Wuneng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked anxiously, "Then use it to guide the two soul beasts together. Let them fight each other because of their feud and we will take advantage of it."

Dugu Fu followed up his question and asked, "Where can I find this thing?"

Chen Bin shook his head helplessly and sighed, "This is a rare treasure in the world. I have only heard about it, but I don't know its exact location."

Chen Xiaojun pondered for a moment and said, "We might as well rest here for one night, and then search carefully tomorrow and discuss the specific plan."

"In particular, we need to find the approximate location of the Shadow Scaled Beast. Otherwise, there is no way to lure it. As for the lure, I will try to deal with it."

Zhang Ci nodded in agreement: "This arrangement is very good."

……

Two days later, in the valley of the Blazing Guardian Beasts.

Chen Xiaojun controlled the Green Lotus Platform and slowly descended in altitude.

A group of blazing guardian beasts watched him vigilantly and quickly formed a battle formation. Low roars came one after another, and several strong guardian beasts stepped forward and stood in the front.

Just then, a ray of light flashed, and a large light pink flower came into view.

Every petal of the flower is as crystal clear as crystal, and the stamens are lavender, just like purple diamonds inlaid in it. It is a fragrant and beautiful fairy product!

This was the only magical herb he brought with him on this trip, and it was originally used to control all kinds of poisons in the Shero Mountains.

This magical herb has a strong fragrance. In later lives, Tang San used it to attract countless soul beasts.

Chen Xiaojun dropped a drop of water of life on the fragrant and beautiful fairy product.

I saw a thick pink gas suddenly gushing out from its pistil.

Then, the originally faint fragrance suddenly became strong, and the fragrance was no longer confined to the original range, but quickly spread to the surroundings.

The group of blazing guardian beasts smelled the fragrance and suddenly became restless.

Their eyes turned red and they opened their huge mouths. The soul power condensed into white light bullets in their mouths and flew towards Chen Xiaojun at a rapid speed.

Chen Xiaojun hurriedly controlled the lotus platform to dodge quickly, and many light bombs exploded in the air.

Although most of the light bombs missed the target before they got close, occasionally a few near-miss bombs exploded, causing the lotus platform to shake.

Chen Xiaojun was shocked and quickly drove the lotus platform out of the valley.

Just like that, a group of blazing light guardian beasts were deeply attracted by the fragrance of the delicate and beautiful fairy product, and were aroused by it with uncontrollable greed.

They quickly chased after Chen Xiaojun's lotus platform, like a silver torrent, drawing a dazzling trail in the lush valley.

These guardian beasts were able to miraculously maintain their battle formation while marching, without any confusion.

The several strong thousand-year-old guardian beasts in the front acted as the vanguard. They had agile bodies and powerful limbs. Every step they took caused the ground to tremble slightly. Their white light bullets were large and fast, and most of the near-miss bullets were fired by them.

Following closely behind were dozens of core forces. They were intensive attackers with white light bullets and were also the biggest threat to Chen Xiaojun during his flight. They would either miss or their concentrated fire would bring the greatest danger to Chen Xiaojun.

As for the rear of the team, several more flexible guardian beasts are responsible for vigilance. They look back from time to time to make sure that there are no companions left behind, while also guarding against enemies that may attack from behind.

Chen Xiaojun controlled the Qinglian Platform steadily. Although he was extremely anxious, his technique was surprisingly calm.

At this critical moment of life and death, any trace of panic may cause oneself to be besieged by these blazing guardian beasts.

Therefore, he concentrated all his attention, dodging the white light bullets that were raining down at him at an astonishing speed, while cleverly using the complex terrain of the valley to guide the group of guardian beasts that were bewitched by the fragrance to move in the predetermined direction.

Those white light bombs exploded in the air, and the shock waves generated continued to shake Chen Xiaojun's lotus platform, testing the lotus platform's ultimate defensive power.

Despite the violent vibrations, the lotus platform still steadily carried Chen Xiaojun, demonstrating its extraordinary tenacity and stability.

This chase is also a huge test for Chen Xiaojun.

His head also began to ache slightly, which was a sign of excessive consumption of mental energy.

He felt that the cracks in the wall of his upper soul nest space were slowly expanding. That was the source of his soul power and also his most vulnerable weak spot.

Despite this, Chen Xiaojun still gritted his teeth and persevered.

He was glad that he did not bring anyone else with him at this time, otherwise the speed would be slower and the lotus platform would bear more attacks.

In this thrilling chase, the battle formation of the Fiery Guardians remained consistent, a closely connected and well-coordinated whole.

And Chen Xiaojun is like the conductor in this dance. His every move affects the movement trajectory of this group of guardian beasts.

………………

At the same time, Chen Mu, Chen Bin, Chen Shurui and Ma Liang, led by Zhang Ci, quietly stepped into an area that seemed ordinary but was full of murderous intent.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the light footsteps of the crowd being particularly clear in the silence.

Zhang Ci looked around again, his sharp eyes scanning every inch of land under his feet, looking for the target hidden underground - the Shadow Scaled Beast.

"Are you all ready?" Zhang Ci lowered his voice. Everyone nodded when they heard this.

Following Zhang Ci's order, everyone began to act according to the plan made in advance.

They moved lightly, trying not to make any extra noise so as not to disturb the sensitive creatures.

The air was filled with tension and excitement. Everyone held their weapons tightly, ready to deal with any emergency that might arise.

The shadow armored beasts, these pangolin-like creatures, are lurking somewhere underground, completely unaware that they have become prey.

Generally speaking, shadow armored beasts live in dark and humid underground caves or deep in dense forests, feeding on small animals and plant roots.

They are solitary and secretive, rarely appearing on the surface except during the breeding season or when threatened.

Shadow Scalebeasts have excellent digging abilities and can dig out complex underground tunnels in a short period of time, which can be used as shelters and hunting passages.

Zhang Ci led his group and carefully approached every possible cave entrance, holding their breath and concentrating. With their keen perception of the environment and rich hunting experience, they gradually narrowed the encirclement.

Finally, Zhang Ci discovered slight movement next to a seemingly ordinary pile of earth.

He immediately signaled everyone to get ready, and he slowly approached.

At that moment, a shadowy scaled beast suddenly rushed out as if from hell, and a sharp light instantly pierced towards Zhang Ci.

Zhang Ci reacted quickly, and immediately sent out a sharp wind thorn from his hand, which collided violently with the light in the air, making a sharp "hiss" sound.

He flashed and quickly dodged the attack of the Shadow Scaled Beast.

While dodging, Zhang Ci carefully observed the soul beast.

As its name suggests, the Shadow Scalebeast is covered in deep black scales that almost blend into its surroundings in the night, making it a perfect lurker.

Fortunately, the edges of their scales are slightly silver-gray and gleam faintly, otherwise they might not be visible.

Shadow Scalebeasts are a specialized species with small eyes and largely degenerate vision, which are of little use, but their sense of smell is extremely sensitive.

Their tails are long and flexible, with a sharp tip. They are useful tools for digging holes and deadly weapons for attacking.

I think the light just now was emitted by its tail.

The powerful energy fluctuations emanating from it at this moment could not be ignored. It was definitely a War King-level soul beast that was more than 40,000 years old, and was similar to the leader of the Blazing Light Guardian Beasts.

Come to think of it, if they did not have matching strength, this group of Shadow Scaled Beasts would have been destroyed by their arch-enemy, the Blazing Guardian Beasts long ago.

At the same time, several other shadow-armored beasts also rushed out from the nearby caves, and their sharp tail tips blasted towards the others like sharp arrows.

Although everyone was ready for battle, they did not expect it to come out from the nearby cave, and the attack speed of the Shadow Scaled Beast was too fast, and they were immediately thrown into chaos.

Fortunately, they were all soul masters of the agile attack system and were very nimble, so they barely avoided the fatal attack.

However, even so, they were still scratched by the strong wind brought by the tail tip.

"Fifth Soul Skill - Wind Blade Chain!"

Zhang Ci roared, flapped his nimble wings, turned around, and suddenly kicked out with a whirlwind kick, instantly releasing countless sharp wind blades.

These wind blades shot towards the group of shadow armored beasts like a string of cannonballs, with extremely high penetrating power and cutting ability, enough to attack multiple targets continuously.

However, when these wind blades hit the powerful shadow armored beasts, most of them were bounced off by their hard scales.

But those slightly weaker scaled beasts were cut and bled profusely by the continuous wind blade attacks, and their wailing sounds continued, causing continuous damage.

At the same time, Chen Bin and Chen Shurui also launched their offensive.

Chen Bin's "Third Soul Skill - Dark Night Sword Shadow" instantly split into several figures, each of which could attack independently and emit a large amount of sharp sword energy.

Chen Shurui used his "third soul skill - Dawn Sword Dance". He swung the sword in his hand quickly, releasing a sword light as warm and sharp as the morning light, causing multiple rapid attacks on the surrounding enemies.

"Rong, light and dark sword vortex!" Chen Bin and Chen Shurui's voices sounded at the same moment, like thunder exploding in the sky.

Their soul skills merged into one at this moment.

Several figures of Chen Bin circled around Chen Shurui, also wielding the Seven Killing Swords.

Both of them emitted a large amount of sword energy at the same time. Light and darkness danced together at this moment, and the sword shadows intertwined and reflected each other.

As the sword energy continued to intertwine and merge, a huge vortex of sword energy gradually formed in the air, and its power doubled at this moment.

This vortex spun rapidly in the air, causing the surrounding air to vibrate violently and emitting a continuous whistling sound of swords.

Finally, when this vortex of sword energy condensed to the extreme, it was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, rushing towards the group of shadow scaled beasts with terrifying power.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the shadow armored beast let out a high-pitched and piercing roar.

Immediately afterwards, a huge shield more than ten meters high appeared in front of it, and other ten thousand year old shadow scaled beasts also summoned several shields to try to resist the attack of this vortex.

There were continuous loud "boom boom boom" sounds, and the sword energy was rampant.

However, although it could not penetrate the huge shield of the scaly-armored beast leader, a large amount of sword energy still penetrated several other shields.

The light and dark sword energy hit the shadow-armored beasts, especially those that were already injured. Several of them whimpered and screamed, and then died.

This round of fierce attacks undoubtedly completely angered the leader of the Shadow Scaled Beast.

Its tail suddenly became extremely deep, with endless darkness and soul power gathering in it.

Immediately afterwards, a black beam of light suddenly shot out from its tail, like an arrow from hell, shooting towards Zhang Ci with destructive power.

The black beam of light was as fast as lightning and brought with it a suffocating sense of oppression.

However, just as the black beam of light was about to hit Zhang Ci, a silver sword light, like a meteor across the night sky, came down from the sky with unparalleled speed and precision, just in time to intercept the surging black beam of light.

This sword light is not only incredibly fast, but also contains a powerful intention.

Not far away, Chen Mu’s figure stood in mid-air, the Seven Killing Sword in his hand was as cold as his eyes.

This silver sword light is exactly the "Fourteen Swords of Lonely Peak - Lonely Skyfall"!
As the silver sword light and the black light column collided violently, a powerful energy wave surged in the air.

The idea of ​​annihilation contained in the silver sword light suddenly erupted at this moment, as unstoppable as a volcanic eruption.

Under the powerful force of the idea of ​​annihilation, the originally dangerous and terrifying black light column began to dissipate little by little, like ice and snow melted by the scorching sun, and finally turned into nothingness and disappeared between heaven and earth.

Of course, Chen Mu was blown away by the recoil force, his chest heaving. How could it be so easy to deal with the soul beast's special move that had been there for more than 40,000 years?

When the leader saw this, he couldn't help but let out a deafening roar, as if venting his anger and unwillingness.

On the other hand, Ma Liang also demonstrated his strong strength.

He flew into the air, his soul power condensed, a deep purple soul ring swung out, and he shouted: "Fourth soul skill - Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

Immediately, the sky seemed to be on fire, and a large number of fireballs like meteor showers fell from the sky, smashing hard into the light pillars of the other ten thousand year old scaled beasts that were shot at Chen Bin and Chen Shurui.

The Ma family’s “Phoenix Meteor Shower” and the Chen family’s “Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin” are both signature group attack skills of the family.

Since the quality of each person's soul ring is different, the attack power of these skills varies greatly.

Ma Liang's soul ring was taken from a top-grade soul beast with 7000 years of cultivation - the Fiery Winged Spirit Luan.

This makes his "Phoenix Meteor Shower" as powerful as the ten thousand year soul rings of other soul beasts, and because of his innate true fire, the Nanming Lihuo, it has a terrible explosive effect.

This group attack skill not only successfully exploded and shattered the light pillars, but also many fire rain balls continued to fall to the ground, forming a sea of ​​fire, causing area damage and continuous burning effects to the surrounding scaly beasts.

Although the defense of the Shadow Scaled Beasts is quite good, especially those ten thousand year old Scaled Beasts, it is impossible to cause direct defense-breaking damage to them.

But under such a fierce rain of fire, they were still burned by the high temperature and screamed in pain.

And those weak shadow scaled beasts died one after another in this rain of fire, and several of them died.

After witnessing the casualties of his tribe, the leader of the Shadow Scaled Beast let out a cry of grief.

This wailing sound became another catalyst for the battle, causing more shadow scaled beasts to rush out from different caves, their eyes were red and their bodies exuded tremendous anger.

However, just as these shadow armored beasts were about to continue their attack, Zhang Ci shouted, "Go!"

He quickly picked up Chen Bin and Chen Shurui and ran away.

At the same time, Ma Liang also brought Chen Mu and used his powerful flying ability to follow closely behind.

The group of five people instantly turned into streams of light and fled quickly into the distance.

Thus, in this vast forest, a drama of a group of powerful soul beasts chasing soul masters began to unfold.

The shadow scaled beasts roared and growled, following closely behind Zhang Ci and the others.

Zhang Ci and others tried their best to shuttle between the woods, using the advantages of terrain and speed to engage in a thrilling chase with the shadow armored beasts.
