Starting From Douluo, Glory is Invincible

Chapter 1085 The person who controls the rules

Deep in the dense forest, sunlight shines through the layers of leaves and onto a clear pool of water. The water in the pool is sparkling, like a sapphire embedded in the earth. At this moment, there were several people standing by the pool, and the atmosphere seemed a bit tense.

 Among them, a graceful witch is particularly eye-catching. She was wearing a lily skirt with a waist, and the hem of the skirt fluttered gently, outlining her slender waist and alluring curves. Her face is pretty, her eyes are affectionate, her red lips are slightly parted, and her breath exudes a charming fragrance. However, there was a hint of dissatisfaction and provocation on her face at this moment, which was in sharp contrast to her delicate image.

 Two men stood beside the witch. A tall, strong man with a powerful appearance, like an iron tower, giving people a strong sense of oppression. His eyes were steady and sharp, as if he could see through all hypocrisy and lies. The other man was short in stature and had a sinister look on his face, with a trace of vulgarity and greed in his eyes. His eyes swept over the enchantress's graceful body from time to time, his eyes flashing with light, as if he wanted to devour her.

  Opposite the enchantress is a woman wearing a black dress. Her face was cold and beautiful, and her eyes shone with a fierce light that seemed to penetrate people's hearts. Her figure is tall and slender, like a tall pine tree, giving people a noble and inviolable feeling. Her name is Phoenix and she is the leader of the group.

The phoenix's mask is frosty, and its eyes are as sharp as a knife. She stared at the enchantress coldly, her eyes seeming to penetrate the thin skirt and pierce into her heart. Her voice was cold and majestic, as if it could freeze everything: "Ling Ji, because of your fault, we not only lost a companion, but also arrived at Sun Yao Mountain two days late. If we miss the Northern Ming Divine Fish because of this, you will have to pay the price Do you take this responsibility?”

When Ling Ji heard this, a trace of dissatisfaction and stubbornness flashed across her pretty face. She snorted softly and said coquettishly: "Phoenix, you know how to blame me. I am also very sad about the death of that companion. But who could have expected to encounter such danger? As for arriving two days late, this It’s not my fault alone. We’ve had so many troubles along the way, is it all my fault?”

Fenghuang frowned slightly. She didn't like Ling Ji's attitude of shirk responsibilities. However, she also knew that now was not the time to pursue accountability. The purpose of their trip is to find the Northern Godly Fish, which is a sacred object in their clan and is related to the fate of the entire clan. Therefore, she doesn't want to waste time here.

"Okay, now is not the time to argue about this." Phoenix said in a deep voice, "We must find the whereabouts of the Northern Divine Fish as soon as possible. Lingji, you are responsible for searching this area to see if there are any clues. Iron Tower, you and I’ll go over there and have a look.”

 After saying that, Phoenix turned around and walked towards the other side of the pool. Iron Tower followed closely behind, his eyes always alert and sharp. Ling Ji pouted, glanced at Fenghuang dissatisfied, and then began to search nearby.

This area is not large, but the environment is very complex. The trees are dense, overgrown, and there are many strange stones and vines. Phoenix and Iron Tower moved forward cautiously, fearing to miss any clue.

 Suddenly, Phoenix's steps stopped. Her eyes were fixed on a stone in front of her. The stone was round in shape, with a surface as smooth as a mirror, and some strange symbols engraved on it.

"This is..." Phoenix frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something, "This is an ancient writing that I have seen in the ancient books of the clan."

“Ancient writing?” Iron Tower came over to look at it curiously, “What do these symbols mean?”

"This is a guide." Phoenix said in a deep voice, "These symbols point in a direction, and that should be where the Northern Hades Divine Fish is." Hearing this, Iron Tower had a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Really? Then Let’s go there quickly!”

However, at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded. Immediately afterwards, Ling Ji's figure appeared in the sight of the two of them. There was a trace of panic and horror on her face: "Phoenix, it's not good! I just found some strange traces there, it seems that someone left them intentionally."

 “Are there traces left intentionally by someone?” Phoenix frowned, “Take us to have a look.”

 Lingji took the Phoenix and the Iron Tower to the place where she found the traces. I saw that some branches of the trees there had been artificially broken, and there were some messy footprints on the ground.

"These traces are very fresh." Phoenix said in a deep voice, "It seems that someone has been here before us."

“Who could it be?” Tieta asked doubtfully, “Could it be someone from another ethnic group?”

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Phoenix said, "However, we must also be careful. The environment here is complex and it is easy to set traps. Everyone must remain vigilant."

 The three of them continued to move forward, but the atmosphere became more tense. They are always vigilant for fear of encountering any danger. However, at this moment, a strange sound suddenly sounded.

The sound was sharp and harsh, as if coming from underground. The three people stopped immediately and looked around nervously. However, they didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

“What is this sound?” Ling Ji asked in horror, “Is it a ghost?”

"Don't scare yourself." Phoenix said in a deep voice, "There are no ghosts in this world. The sound may be the cry of some animal, or the sound of the wind blowing leaves."
