Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 386: The war on the mainland escalates and the hunting of rogue sky eagles

After walking for three days, Ning Tianchen and his group entered a mangrove forest.

The trees, trunks and leaves here are all red, and even the soil on the ground is light red.

Huang Mengyu glanced at the route map he had prepared in advance and explained, "Everyone, there is a special soul beast in this forest, called the Winged Spider."

According to his description, the winged spider is essentially a spider-type soul beast, but unlike all other types of spiders, the winged spider cannot spin silk and has a certain ability to fly.

Each of their spider legs has a wing membrane on the inside, which, when fully opened, allows them to glide in the air for a long time.

However, the winged spiders in this mangrove forest are not very old, so as long as you don't jump onto the tree trunks and be discovered by them, you won't encounter any danger by passing through them close to the ground.

The Lone Wolf objected to his decision, "It's too dangerous, why not go around it?"

Winged spiders are social soul beasts. If a winged spider in the group discovers their tracks, they will be attacked by a large number of winged spiders.

Huang Mengyu flipped through the map carefully and shook his head, "I'm afraid that's not possible. There are powerful soul beasts near the mangroves. If we bypass this place, we will not only have to walk far, but we will also encounter uncontrollable risks."

The profession of guide is inherited from family.

After the father retires, he will give all the maps in his hands to his son, and pass them down from generation to generation.

For example, most guides have never walked the route recorded on the map, they just know that the road exists on the map.

Huang Mengyu is no exception.

When two leaders have a dispute, to ensure safety, only one person's idea can be adopted.

Before entering the forest, it was arranged that Huang Mengyu would lead the first half of the journey.

Although the lone wolf raised objections, he did not insist on his opinion when he saw that the other party was determined to do so.

In the mangroves, most trees are so thick that ten people can hug them, and some are even taller.

This is definitely a huge forest.

Walking under the tree, the gelatinous substance secreted from the trunk kept dripping.

It falls on your body, especially on your hair, and is difficult to clean.

This is the territory of soul beasts, and Ning Tianchen and others cannot use soul power barriers. They can only put their coats on their heads to avoid being covered in glue.

"This road is really difficult to walk on." Chen Huayu complained.

The roots of the tree were extremely developed, and they were actually walking on the roots.

"When we come back, I'll take you by another route." The lone wolf reminded them, and everyone felt a little relieved.

Soon, everyone rested under a big tree to replenish their energy.

When Ning Tianchen looked up, he noticed a winged spider above their heads.

The winged spider had its butt facing them and didn't notice their whereabouts.

At the same time, Ning Rongrong also raised her head, and Ning Tianchen quickly covered her mouth to prevent her from making any sound.

Then use the method of forcing sound into a line to inform others of the situation above your head.

Huang Mengyu became nervous and quickly gestured to leave.

The lone wolf frowned.

Since we have to go through this mangrove forest, why not choose to go around it from the outside instead of crossing it from the inside?

Now was not the time to argue, they had to leave quickly.

Suddenly, someone stepped on a dead branch, and the sound attracted the attention of the winged spider.

On the tree trunk, the winged spider turned its body and several pairs of eyes were searching for something in the woods.

It was only a matter of time before he was discovered.

Without caring about anything else, Ning Tianchen shouted, "Xiao Ao, flying mushroom sausage!"

As he spoke, he used his right hand as a sword finger, and a stream of sword energy shot out from his fingertips, piercing through the body of the winged spider.

The flying mushroom sausages are ready and distributed to everyone.

After taking it, a pair of wings appeared behind everyone.

With the improvement of strength, the duration and speed of the flying mushroom sausage have far exceeded the original ones.

Ning Rongrong then provided an amplification soul skill, "The Nine Treasures are famous, the second one is speed."

Everyone flew into the sky, flew over the forest, and then flew out of the mangrove forest.

Winged spiders can glide through the air, but they themselves do not have the ability to fly, so if you fly high enough, you can avoid them.

Huang Mengyu patted his chest and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately I can fly, otherwise it would be troublesome."

There are flying soul beasts above the forest, so they cannot fly too far without restraint.

The lone wolf lowered his hood and looked at Ning Tianchen and the other eight.

He could see that the configuration of these eight people was quite reasonable, and in terms of tactical proficiency, they surpassed any soul hunting team on the continent.

He couldn't help but be curious about the origins of Ning Tianchen and others.

……

After escaping from the mangroves, everyone took a temporary rest in a safe place.

Huang Mengyu checked the map in his hand to determine his current location and plan his next route.

Aoi Hiro looked a little unhappy, "Just now, why didn't we go around the outside of the mangrove forest?"

Huang Mengyu quickly explained, "There are a lot of swamps outside the mangroves, which is even more dangerous."

When they were flying in the air, they also saw the swamp. But the mangroves were not surrounded by swamps, so they could have planned a more flexible route instead of the one they had just taken.

Fighting in the forest can easily attract the attention of other soul beasts.

If there is a group of soul beasts nearby, you will find that just as you get rid of some soul beasts, other soul beasts will chase after you, and it is simply endless.

Huang Mengyu knew it was his own mistake and quickly assured everyone that there would be no more problems.

During the break, Ning Tianchen noticed the movements of the lone wolf.

He seemed to be just like Zhang Heng, not wanting to communicate with outsiders.

Suddenly, Chen Huayu laughed loudly, "I have broken through level 70."

Everyone was attracted by his voice.

The lone wolf also looked over with curiosity.

Judging from Chen Huayu's performance, he obviously doesn't look like a scheming person, so he must be very young.

To be able to break through level 70 at this age, the other party must have an extraordinary background.

Ning Tianchen said: "When we are on the road, let's see if there is a suitable spirit ring."

With Chen Huayu's strength, it would be most appropriate for the seventh soul ring to absorb a soul ring of about 50,000 years.

As he spoke, Ning Tianchen looked towards Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar.

The two of them were not far from level 70, and they were right in the forest, hunting soul rings on the spot after the breakthrough.

……

Douluo Continent, in the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

Ning Tianchen and the others had been gone for a year, and there had been no news so far. Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Feng Zhi, the envoy sent by the Xingluo Empire is scheduled to enter the palace tonight. You have to go." Gu Rong reminded.

Ning Fengzhi assisted Xue Qinghe in ascending to the throne as the emperor's teacher.

If there were no war, now would be a good time for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to develop and expand. Now everything has been wasted!
It would be impossible for him to be nice to the Xing Luo Empire.

To this day, the war on the border shows no signs of abating.

Ever since the Soul Douluo powerhouse of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect took action on the battlefield, all of the assets of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the Star Luo Empire have been frozen, and they have even been included in the sanctions list by the Star Luo royal family.

Fortunately, they had the foresight to allow the Hong family to cash in on their assets ahead of time, otherwise they would not know how much money they would have lost.

Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice: "I will go to the palace in the evening."

"Uncle Gu, is there any news from the Tianjian Sect?"

Gu Rong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong did write a letter and sent it back before they set off, but it only said that they were about to go to sea and did not say where they were going.

The disciples of the Tianjian Sect's Intelligence Department are still guarding Hanhai City, and no news has been received.

Chen Xin was not worried. “Sect Master, with Tian Chen here, Rong Rong’s safety will not be a problem. This is their training, and it will probably be difficult for them to leave before the training is over.”

"We don't have to worry. If they come back, we will get the news as soon as possible."

At first, Ning Fengzhi was very worried.

He guessed that after Ning Tianchen left, the Tianjian Sect would fall apart, or even change hands. But as time went by, under the governance of Dugu Bo and the elders, the Tianjian Sect became prosperous.

Moreover, the two major sects still maintained frequent contact, so Ning Fengzhi felt relieved.

After a pause, Gu Rong added: "Feng Zhi, I also found out something important."

"The Spirit Hall has been in close contact with several major kingdoms and principalities recently. In recent days, several major principalities and kingdoms have deployed heavy troops in the border areas."

"If there is an accidental discharge of gunfire, there may be another war on the border."

"I speculate that this is most likely arranged by the Spirit Hall. Since the war between the two empires, they seem to have been too low-key. It is not ruled out that they also want to get a piece of the pie."

Since Xue Qinghe came to power, the Tiandou royal family's control over several major duchies and kingdoms has weakened a lot. With Ning Fengzhi's intervention, these grand dukes and kings did not turn against the royal family.

Now, these people have just come into contact with the Spirit Hall and have begun to station troops on the border, clearly intending to expand the war.

Ning Fengzhi finally understood why the Xingluo Empire sent envoys to Tiandou City when the battle was still undecided!

"The entire border is at war, and the fighting will inevitably escalate to a full-scale continental war. At that time, who between Tiandou and Xingluo can get the support of the Spirit Hall will determine the outcome of the war."

Ning Fengzhi punched the armrest of the chair, his face extremely ugly, "The Spirit Hall is waiting for a good price. No matter which side wins, they can get the greatest benefit."

The most crucial thing is that the Tiandou Empire cannot say that they cannot influence the decisions of the major kingdoms and principalities.

Otherwise, once the Xingluo Empire learns of this, these kingdoms and principalities will rebel, and the Tiandou Empire will be surrounded by enemies and will not be far from destruction.

Chen Xin analyzed, "The Xingluo Empire sent an envoy, proving that they are not ready for an all-out war. The actions of several kingdoms and principalities may also become our bargaining chips."

"We can use 'total war' as a threat to force the Star Luo Empire to the negotiation table and end the border war. But the prerequisite is that we can convince these kingdoms and principalities to withdraw their troops."

Ning Fengzhi could also think of this, but the problem was that these grand dukes and kings would not listen to Xue Qinghe's orders!

……

Ning Tianchen, who was far away in the Sun Moon Continent, was unaware of the situation on the Douluo Continent.

In a few days, they helped Zhang Heng successfully obtain the sixth soul ring.

With the experience in the mangroves, Huang Mengyu had no problems in planning the subsequent routes.

It is worth mentioning that Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing also broke through level 70 during this process.

The seventh soul ring is the most important soul ring for a soul master. Osco decided to absorb a divine soul ring.

After all, the sausage spirit is very special, and there are very few food-type spirit masters who can reach the seventh environment realm. Oscar was also confused about the choice of the seventh spirit ring.

The God-given soul ring would only provide him with the seventh soul ring that was most suitable for him, saving him the trouble of looking for it again.

In addition, Zhu Zhuqing also decided to absorb the God-given soul ring.

She has a dark martial soul. There are few dark soul beasts of advanced age, and they are hard to find, so absorbing the god-given soul ring is the most suitable.

As for Chen Huayu, a strong attack soul beast like the Mang Tianying is also very good for him.

According to Huang Mengyu, among this group of sky eagles, there are soul beasts that are more than 40,000 years old. When the time comes, just help him hunt a suitable one.

The Rogue Sky Eagle is a flying soul beast, and their tribe lives in a valley in the forest.

Arriving at the valley, Aoi Hiro was a little worried, "Are you sure that when we fight the Rogue Sky Eagle, we won't attract attacks from other soul beasts?"

Huang Mengyu assured: "My dear guest, the Rogue Sky Eagle is an extremely aggressive soul beast. How could there be other soul beasts near them? Even if there are, they are only a few big cats and small cats."

Aoi Hiro nodded heavily, turned towards Ning Tianchen, and said with a cupped hand, "Please, when we return, my Cang family will give you another generous gift."

Previously, when Feng Xiaotian helped Zhang Heng hunt for spirit rings, it was Feng Xiaotian who did it alone.

But the Rogue Sky Eagle is different. This is a group of soul beasts. It would be too reckless for one person to deal with it.

Ning Tianchen took over the conversation and made arrangements: "Xiaotian and I will lead the attack. Yudie and Caidie will protect Mr. Huang and Rongrong. Zhuqing and Fatty will scout the surroundings to make sure no other soul beasts come to cause trouble. Xiaoao will provide sausages at any time and can join the battlefield if the situation permits."

As he said this, he looked at Zhang Heng and Aoi Hiroshi.

"We'll follow your instructions." They said in unison.

Ning Tianchen nodded, "Master Cang, please support us at any time. I will send out a soul beast that suits you. Remember to finish us off."

"Zhang Heng, you go and replace Fatty. Let Fatty stay with Patriarch Cang. They both need spirit rings."

The two men obeyed the order.

As for the lone wolf, Ning Tianchen's arrangement for him was simple, "You can protect yourself, I won't send anyone to protect you. If you want to help, you can do so at any time, but don't make things worse."

The lone wolf pressed his hood down and responded, "I'll watch your back."

……

After entering the canyon, everyone followed Ning Tianchen's arrangements and maintained their formation.

This canyon is very large, and there are often rogue eagles circling overhead.

Ning Tianchen stepped on the Seven Killing Sword, while Feng Xiaotian activated his flying soul skill, and they both approached Mang Tianying at the same time.

The few rogue sky eagles hovering in the sky have only cultivated for a few thousand years and are not the targets they are looking for.

Only by attacking these guys and attracting the attention of the group of rogue sky eagles can we lure out rogue sky eagles of higher age.

Ning Tianchen casually slashed out a sword energy, and a rogue sky eagle was seriously injured and fell to the ground with a long cry.

The huge noise quickly attracted the attention of the flock of sky eagles.

On the cliff of the valley, rogue eagles spread their wings and roared as they attacked the two.

The number is so large that it covers the sky and the sun!
Of course, Ning Tianchen and Feng Xiaotian’s goal is not to kill all these rogue Sky Eagles.

Eight black, black, black, red, red, red soul rings flashed under his feet. The powerful pressure emanating from the soul rings immediately forced back soul beasts less than ten thousand years old.

Among this group of sky eagles, there are not many that are over ten thousand years old, only about thirty.

But facing such pressure, ordinary ten thousand year old soul beasts can only keep their bodies from falling and cannot fight at all.
