From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 138 The Devil's Abyss
What Tian Meng said actually made sense. Absorbing spirit rings was not a simple matter. If one had not experienced the counterattack brought about by the will of those spirit beasts, it would undoubtedly be a dream to want to absorb high-level spirit rings.

Previously, even the will of the Human-Faced Demon Spider King could not counterattack Leng Xiyao and was directly wiped out by the system. Now she needs to face the will of these soul beasts without spiritual power and system, which is still quite difficult.

This was indeed the case. After absorbing a thousand-year soul ring, Leng Xiyao was sweating profusely and almost fainted.

"Huh, fortunately, I didn't suffer any loss." Leng Xiyao stood up, felt her first soul skill, and said with a smile.

【Storage Card】

Effect: Each card can hold three thousand cubic meters of resources (Soul Ring Age Breakthrough Bonus: 0), and can also hold living creatures that are completely loyal to the host and have no will of their own.

Usage restrictions: A maximum of twenty cards can be produced per day, but there is no upper limit on the total number of reserves.

The effect is very simple and crude, but it is exactly what Leng Xiyao wanted.

Obviously, the level of the spirit ring has a great impact on the skills. If the spirit ring is a ten thousand year or a hundred thousand year spirit ring, the storage area of ​​each card will probably increase to tens of thousands of cubic meters. However, for now, the storage area of ​​this storage card is completely sufficient.

Pretending less is not necessarily a bad thing. Well, it’s still a bit of a loss!
However, this first skill has already met her needs. Leng Xiyao couldn't help but look forward to what kind of surprises the next two cards will bring her.

"Sister Yao, did you absorb it successfully?" Seeing Leng Xiyao stand up, Liu Qinghan asked with concern.

"Yeah, I got a very good skill, hehe." Leng Xiyao thought about it. If she wanted to give a definition to this card martial spirit, it should be an auxiliary type. Anyone can use these manufactured cards as long as she authorizes them.

Although storage soul guides are relatively portable, they are expensive and can only store a few square meters of supplies. They are basically used to store personal supplies.

Leng Xiyao's card was mostly used for the transfer of bulk goods. In her opinion, it couldn't hold that much. Now the size of a poisonous bomb was almost two cubic meters. Even if a card was filled up, it could only hold one or two thousand.

Well, you are still quite good at pretending!
"What's the use of this thing?" Dugu Bo picked up one of the two cards that Leng Xiyao had casually made, and played with it in his hand. Apart from looking indestructible, there didn't seem to be anything special about it, right?
Liu Qinghan also picked up another one and didn't find anything unusual. This card seemed to be made of a purple metal. It felt extremely thick, but it didn't have the cool texture that metal should have. Instead, it had a leather feel.

But it seems to be very tough and cannot be bent in any way unless it is broken directly. It is unlikely that it is not some kind of metal.

There is a very symmetrical and harmonious pattern on the card, and in the center of the front of the card is a crooked character engraved, and I don’t know what it means.

On the back of the card is a strange sphere, which is slightly raised, like a gem, and you can vaguely see the blue energy surging inside.

But what's the use?
Leng Xiyao did not explain, but said mysteriously: "Hehehe, you will know later."

Changing the subject, she turned to Tian Meng and asked, "By the way, Tian Meng, where is that good place you mentioned?"

After these words were spoken, Liu Qinghan and Dugu Bo also became curious.

They all knew that Tianmeng's strength was unfathomable. Although Liu Qinghan couldn't see clearly, her father once said that he couldn't tell how powerful Tianmeng was. A "good place" mentioned by such a mysterious boss must be full of opportunities!
"Well, we now have two Titled Douluo who are in charge of the battle, which is almost enough for us to go to that place." Tian Meng pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said.

"Stop keeping us in suspense. Where exactly is this place?" Leng Xiyao said unkindly when she saw that Tian Meng, this bastard, dared to keep us in suspense.

After what happened just now, Tian Meng no longer dared to provoke Leng Xiyao, and quickly said: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, host, do you still remember my home?"

"Your home?" Leng Xiyao thought for a moment and said, "The Far North?"

".It's not the old home, I'm talking about the new home, the place where we met." Tian Meng said speechlessly.

"Oh, that cave, right? But didn't I empty the cave? Is there anything valuable left?" Leng Xiyao still had a deep impression of the place where she made her first pot of gold. But after taking Tianmeng away, there should be nothing left in that place, right?
When they heard there was a story to listen to, Liu Qinghan and Dugu Bo both acted as if they were all ears, and were obviously very curious about it.

"Host, you are wrong." Tian Meng's expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "I, Tian Meng, have lived for 100,000 years. Although I was lucky enough to get a treasure land to help me, I am not a person without ambition. I will dedicate my whole heart to this Douluo Continent."

After hearing this, Dugu Bo and Liu Qinghan were both shocked. A soul beast that could live for 100,000 years must have cultivated for at least 700,000 to 800,000 years. Even if it was a dog that lived 100,000 years ago, it would have to be a fearsome dog king if it lived until now!
No wonder I couldn’t see his depth, that’s why!
"Speak human language." Leng Xiyao glared at Tian Meng.

"In fact, that cave is not as simple as you think. It is actually a forbidden place in ancient times, called the Devil's Abyss. Legend has it that the ancient gods live there, but other than the name of the ancient gods, there is no other record about it."

Seeing Leng Xiyao urging him, Tian Meng explained in an extremely vicissitudes of life tone, but the next words made others shudder:

"Because all the people or animals who saw it died, no one survived. Even the name of the Ancient God was given to it by people from the outside world!"

"Ancient God?" Leng Xiyao frowned. Why did she feel like she had heard of this title somewhere before?

"I have read records about the ancient gods in my family before. It said that there was such a forbidden area in the Star Dou Great Forest, but there were only a few words and the specific location was not mentioned. I have no impression of it at all." Liu Qinghan frowned and recalled.

"Yes, Tianmeng, if that thing was in the cave where you lived at the beginning, why could you live there safely? And we could leave safely at that time?" Leng Xiyao was also very surprised and had some doubts about Tianmeng's words.

Hearing Leng Xiyao's question, Tian Meng was also somewhat puzzled and could not help but frowned: "Maybe there is something in the world that restrains its movements, or maybe the ancient powerful has sealed it?"

"If that's the case, then those ten thousand year old cold marrows in the outer area were probably not born with the heaven and earth, but were born because of the evil aura of that thing. Otherwise, how could a place like Xingdou Great Forest, where the four seasons are like spring, produce a ten thousand year old cold marrow, a treasure that is rare even in the far north?"

After hearing this, Leng Xiyao did realize that something was wrong. The landform and environment of the Star Dou Great Forest were very peculiar. Although it was located in the center of the continent, it was neither too cold nor too hot, and always maintained a temperature that was most suitable for the survival of soul beasts.

So, where does this ten thousand year old cold marrow come from?

"So, this ancient god is so terrifying, we are no match for him, right?" Dugu Bo was panicking. Even though he was a Titled Douluo, how many people were not afraid of death? Now he had to face such a terrifying power from the ancient times, which made him a little scared.

"Enough, enough." Tian Meng smiled and patted Dugu Bo on the shoulder: "That thing will almost certainly kill any soul beast it encounters, but it is much more tolerant of humans. There were humans who accidentally entered the cave before, but it did not kill them directly. Instead, it gave them many opportunities."

"Many of these people became Title Douluo in the future, but without exception, they all forgot its existence. Otherwise, I would not be alive today."

"Oh, I understand. So this thing is sealed by a soul beast? So you want to train humans to hunt soul beasts?"

Leng Xiyao roughly understood, but the only thing she didn't understand was, since this thing hated soul beasts so much, why didn't Tian Meng be killed but instead was able to cultivate into a million-year-old soul beast right under its nose?

"Yes, I think so too. So, if we go to meet this ancient god together this time, we may not get anything bad. In other words, with so many experts here, can we still escape if we can't defeat him?"

"That thing has killed hundreds of hundred thousand year old soul beasts, if not thousands. How rich must the collection be? As long as we take out a little bit, we will make a fortune!"

Tian Meng is full of confidence. After all, he is a god walking in the mortal world. Although the legendary ancient god is powerful, how much stronger can he be than him?
At this time, Tian Meng forgot one thing. It seemed that he could become a million-year-old soul beast only by eating the crystal of the other party's resentment.
Leng Xiyao didn't care about this problem. She had already been overwhelmed by the huge benefits.

Yes! Since that thing has no hostility towards humans, why can't I do something good for it?

Even if I can't get it for free, I can just make a deal with this ancient god!

Just like that, Leng Xiyao and Tian Meng reached a consensus, and Dugu Bo also wanted to gain some benefits. Although Liu Qinghan felt that this trip was a bit dangerous, he had no choice but to go with them.

After returning to the Xingdou Great Forest, Leng Xiyao felt much freer. Dahuang directly transformed into his original thunder beast form and carried the four of them all the way. The soul beasts on the road retreated one after another and did not dare to attack at all.

Dugu Bo and Liu Qinghan were not surprised by this. After all, Da Huang didn't look like a human Titled Douluo. It would be really strange if he could develop a Martial Spirit.

According to legend, the core of the Star Dou Great Forest is where the dragon clan lives, the second circle is where many large tribes live, and the third circle is where small and medium-sized tribes live. Tribes like the Moon Shadow Civet can only belong to a medium-sized tribe in the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

The area where the insect swarm is currently located is the fourth circle, and Xingdou Town is roughly in the sixth circle. Generally speaking, humans who are not Titled Douluo dare not step into the third circle.

Leng Xiyao was not too brave now. After all, not everyone could be as easy to talk to as the Yueying Civet Cat Family. Therefore, she had to detour within the range of the fourth ring. Although it was much slower, it was at least safer.

The area of ​​the Star Forest is so huge that it is almost as large as the territories of the two empires. It took about a week of walking and stopping along the way to reach the cave where Tianmeng was before.

"We're here, that's the one in front!" Looking at the lake not far away, Tian Meng was also a little excited.

This lake is located within the third circle and is considered the core of the Star Forest.

"Huh? Why is it freezing again?" Feeling the sudden drop in temperature, Leng Xiyao was very puzzled.

Logically speaking, the last time she left, she had taken away all the ten thousand year old cold marrow, and the lake was directly drained dry without anything left. But only a year later, it has returned to its original state. It is really weird.

"Isn't this good? Host, we are going to get rich!" Tian Meng's eyes lit up and he looked at the lake in front of him with excitement.

Leng Xiyao just remembered, isn't it? Refreshing again means that it can be absorbed again? That's tens of millions of insect nest points!
Thinking of this, Leng Xiyao couldn't wait to rush over, but as she rushed over, she suddenly realized a very serious problem.

She is no longer afraid of the cold as before!
This severe cold is enough to freeze tens of thousands of years old soul beasts into ice sculptures. Wouldn't it be courting death if I go up there now?
However, this did not hinder Leng Xiyao's determination to get rich. With a wave of her hand, several cards appeared in front of her. Then she distributed them to several people and ordered: "Ahem, Da Huang, Tian Meng, Old Monster, go and collect all the ten thousand year old cold marrow in this lake and cave for me."

On the way, everyone understood the specific purpose of Leng Xiyao's card and were no longer surprised. Therefore, Dugu Bo did not say much. He took the card directly and rushed towards the Cold Marrow Lake with his two beasts.

The use of storage cards is not without restrictions. They can only store ownerless and collected things. Otherwise, if you take this card into a mine, you can just wave your hand and take away the entire mine. Isn't that too powerful?

The Cold Marrow Lake was obviously not among them. With the combined efforts of the three, the entire lake quickly evaporated again and disappeared without a trace.

However, the coldness in the air did not weaken much, and Leng Xiyao was still unable to bear it, so several people went deep into the cave and mined out the new cold marrow, which made her feel much better.

"Ah, it feels so good to revisit an old place." Returning to the cave that first changed her destiny, Leng Xiyao felt filled with emotion.

Looking back, it was here that she met Tian Meng, and it was here that she earned the first pot of gold for the development of the insect swarm. It was also here that she obtained the Insect King Sword that she had once despised. It can be said that this was the first turning point since her time travel.

And now, this place might once again become an opportunity for her insect swarm to expand!
