Douluo: Make a gun first

Chapter 124: Thunder Mountain Range
The next morning, at dawn, Shen Feng and others set out for the Thundercloud Grand Canyon.

Along the way, Shen Rui and Lingna led the team forward, Shen Feng and a few other little ones walked in the middle, and Dugu Bo brought up the rear.

On the way, Oscar always moved closer to Zhu Zhuqing intentionally or unintentionally, constantly looking for topics to talk about.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was very surprised by Oscar's behavior, she did not refuse to chat with him because of his good looks.

But along the way Oscar kept talking about nonsense that was of no use to improving one's strength, which gradually caused Zhu Zhuqing to lose interest in the conversation.

Then Oscar started talking about things he thought were interesting, and Zhu Zhuqing responded with brief sentences.

After chatting for a long time, Oscar didn't get any useful information except that Zhu Zhuqing's current soul power level has reached level 35.

Seeing that his best friend had no experience in pursuing girls, Shen Feng shook his head helplessly.

"Zhu Qing, what is your third soul skill? I haven't seen you use it yet."

Finally hearing a topic of interest, Zhu Zhuqing immediately said, "Netherworld Poison Claw, a medium- to long-range attack with poison attributes, Brother Feng, do you want to see it?"

Shen Feng nodded: "Try it out and maybe I can give you some advice."

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up, and she immediately entered a state of martial spirit possession. Sharp claws over a foot long suddenly popped out from her fingertips.

With light footsteps, Zhu Zhuqing instantly turned into a black afterimage and shot towards a tree as thick as a human waist nearby.

The third soul ring lit up, and a strange black light suddenly appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's claws. He crossed his hands, raised them above his head, and swung them down heavily.

Ten pitch-black claw marks shot out from Zhu Zhuqing's fingertips, and the claw marks quickly expanded in the air, forming a criss-crossing net, which crashed into the big tree in front in the blink of an eye.

Puff puff puff puff ~ crack ~ boom ~
Ten slashes instantly split the trunk of the tree into pieces, and then it collapsed with a loud bang.

Shen Feng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, the cut is smooth, the impact is strong, the range is large, and it is not easy to dodge."

"There are signs of corrosion at the fracture. I guess it's the poison from your Nether Poison Claw."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded: "Yes, but this poison is not very effective on plants and dead things, but it is very effective on living things."

"Teacher said that my poison is enough to threaten Soul Masters. Even if a Soul Master doesn't die, he will lose half his life."

Shen Feng smiled and said, "The toxin of the human-faced demon spider is originally a toxin that targets living things. It is normal that the soul skills you obtained after absorbing its spirit ring are not effective against plants and dead things."

"That's not right." Ma Hongjun suddenly interrupted, "Last night, Zhu Qing's Eight Spider Lance pierced into the tree, and the horrible poison directly turned the tree into dust."

Zhu Zhuqing was slightly stunned. Shen Feng casually patted Ma Hongjun on the head and laughed softly, "You know nothing, kid. That person absorbed the old man's poison. Is it surprising that he has such power?"

Ma Hongjun suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's how it is. The old man is really awesome."

Dugu Bo stepped forward and said, "Okay, don't waste time, let's get going."

After Dugu Bo spoke, everyone stopped discussing Zhu Zhuqing's soul skills and started to move forward according to their previous team.

Suddenly, Dugu Bo's voice rang in Shen Feng's mind: "Xiao Feng, you can see it too, right? It's not poison at all."

Shen Feng nodded and responded with his spiritual power comparable to that of Contra: "I can see that it is devouring."

"Last night, the tree was drained of its vitality. It was unable to resist the erosion of the poison and was reduced to dust in a short period of time."

Dugu Bo frowned slightly: "Devouring life? This is a terrifying ability that can easily lead to a wrong path."

Shen Feng smiled and said, "He is your apprentice, old man. How you teach him is your business."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly: "Brat, don't think I don't know that girl has signed a contract with you. I am training you to be a talent. Don't try to put all the blame on me."

"I only teach her poison techniques so that she can have the power to intimidate others. I am not good at ideological education. You should do it yourself."

Shen Feng said helplessly: "I can't even be lazy, forget it, I'll do it myself."

As her mind turned, Shen Feng's voice rang in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.

"Zhu Qing, the Eight Spider Lance's ability to absorb life force to nourish itself cannot be used lightly."

Zhu Zhuqing paused and froze in place for a moment. "Keep going. I'll talk and you listen."

"It is true that devouring vitality can help you practice very quickly in the early stages, but the mixed spirit power will make it extremely difficult to break through in the future. After taking the 'Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone', you already have the foundation for the title. Don't lose the big picture for the small one."

"As for your engagement, don't worry. There is a long way to go. I will be able to help you solve it within three years."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shen Feng with a little apology and nodded slightly.

"Alright, no need to apologize. Devouring lives is something that is not tolerated by the world. It's normal for you to have reservations."

"Just keep going and don't think too much."

Shen Feng's voice disappeared, Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists, looked at Shen Feng with a firm gaze, and once again reaffirmed her determination to serve him until death.

Three days later, Shen Feng and his team went deep into the Thundercloud Grand Canyon.

When they stopped, what appeared before them was a range of rolling hills.

From their position, they could not see all of this mountain range, but even the outermost mountains had already penetrated into the clouds.

On the top of the mountains, there were thunder and lightning, and the rumbling thunder was deafening.

When they got here, Lingna's eyes sparkled with light, and she introduced to everyone with a little excitement: "We are here, this is the Thunder Mountain Range, the favorite place of all the thunder attribute spirit masters in the world."

"Here is the largest collection of thunder-attributed soul beasts of all types and ages in the entire Xingdou Great Forest. There are even eighty to ninety thousand year old thunder-attributed soul beast overlords hidden among them."

"I got my sixth spirit ring here. As long as we spend some time and search patiently, we will definitely be able to find a suitable spirit ring for Xiaofeng."

Shen Feng's eyes were as fast as lightning as he looked towards the deepest part of Jilei Mountain Range. Faintly, in the endless thunderclouds, a huge peak that looked like a pillar of heaven appeared in his pupils. He gazed again, and the peak disappeared again. Everything was gone without a trace.

Frowning slightly, Shen Feng pointed to the depths of the thundercloud: "Mom, what's there?"

Lingna followed his gaze and said, "What? There's nothing there."

Shen Feng shook his head: "I mean, what is in the deepest part of the Jilei Mountains? I seem to see a huge peak that looks like a pillar of heaven."

Lingna suddenly realized: "That place, the soul master world calls it Thunder God Mountain. There are constant thunderstorms on the mountain all year round. Even overlord-level soul beasts find it difficult to survive there for a long time. It is the most dangerous place in the entire Thunder Cloud Grand Canyon."

"Some people say that it is the residence of the Thunder God, some say that it is the place where the Thunder God ascended, and some say that there is the inheritance of the Thunder God there."

"But legends are just legends after all. Over the years, countless lightning attribute spirit masters have wanted to reach the top, but after countless casualties, no one has been able to reach the top."

"So, no one knows what is on Thunder God Mountain."

"Why? You want to try your luck there too?"

Shen Feng looked at the distant giant peak with burning eyes: "Well, let's go and take a look. I always feel that it won't be that simple there."

Lingna smiled slightly: "You really have the same personality as me. When I came here that year, I also felt that it was not that simple."

"But the higher you climb up Thunder God Mountain, the more thunder will be drawn down, and the greater the danger to the climbers, so that time we had no choice but to return halfway up the mountain."

"But with our seniors here this time, maybe we can really reach the top and see for ourselves."

Dugu Bo coughed lightly: "Don't be happy too soon. Although I am a Titled Douluo, the lightning attribute naturally restrains me. If the risk is too great, I will not take the risk with you."

Shen Feng chuckled and said, "Of course, if things can't be done, let's go back."

"I am just curious whether this naturally formed dangerous place will form some rare treasures that are waiting for the right person to come."

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up: "I'm not sleepy anymore when you say that. Rumors can't be believed, but we can't disbelieve them either. We have to see it with our own eyes to believe it."

"Just because others can't climb up doesn't mean we can't climb up either. Come on, I'll take you up there to see for yourself."

At this moment, Dugu Bo thought of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Maybe there really are treasures in such a dangerous place as Leishen Mountain?
Action speaks louder than words. Dugu Bo took the lead and walked forward with full enthusiasm. Shen Feng and others looked at each other and followed closely.
