Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 217 The Cruel Mastermind

Silent all night.

As if God was blessing the shooting star, the weather the next day was clear, sunny, and cloudless, and the midday sun was emitting scorching heat.

Even though the forest is shrouded in miasma, visibility in this weather can still be improved a little.

"Let's go."

After lunch, the five of them cleaned up the mess and headed directly towards the direction where the miasma was the thickest. It went without saying that the Sunset Forest had undergone such a big change and it was closely related to that natural treasure, the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

Then the core of the drastic change is most likely the location of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Because of the sun's rays, the miasma above the forest dissipated a little. Liuxing and others flew directly to a height of one hundred meters, then found their location and flew towards the direction where the miasma was the most concentrated.

The miasma covered the sky hundreds of meters high, but the higher they went, the thinner the miasma became, and it was no problem for the five people from Meteor.

Their previous position was at the outermost edge of the miasma. Now they accelerated at full speed in the air and reached the core of the miasma in just over ten minutes.

The miasma here is no longer a white mist, but emits a strange rainbow color, which is obviously poisonous.

Meteor stretched out his hand and condensed a flame spear of compressed flames, aimed at the core of the miasma, and threw it out suddenly.

The flaming spear drew a red trail in the air, like a red meteor. Wherever it passed, the colorful poisonous fog dissipated.

"Boom——"

The flame-compressed lance burst out with violent energy under the control of Meteor, and a small mushroom cloud rose slowly at the core of the colorful miasma.

The crimson flames spread along with the explosion airflow. The high temperature of the extreme fire burned away all the colorful miasma, turning the entire miasma core into a red cloud.

The flames continued to spread outward, and the poisonous fog gradually thinned wherever it passed until it disappeared.

He detonated the meteor shot in mid-air. He was also afraid of accidentally damaging the magic grass of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. After all, his ultimate fire was no joke.

The explosion of the flame gun blew a hole in the poisonous miasma, and Liu Xing and others who were high in the sky were finally able to see the entire forest below.

Meteor threw out two more fireballs, which detonated at a lower position, making the view below clearer.

At the same time, a channel was also opened up for falling from a high altitude.

"Let's go."

The meteor took the lead and fell downwards.

The passage created by the flame gun and fireball will not last long. This poisonous fog is too wide, almost covering the entire core area of ​​the Sunset Forest. Soon this gap will be submerged by other poisonous fogs.

The five people fell rapidly and soon entered the range of the poisonous fog. They could clearly see that the surrounding miasma was beginning to gather inward at an alarming speed.

The vegetation in the poisonous fog is completely different from that outside the Sunset Forest, and the colors are very bright. That's right, the plants that can survive in this poisonous fog are probably also highly toxic.

Hundreds of meters passed in a flash, and as it was about to land, the meteor turned into a huge fireball and fell at an accelerated speed.

"Boom——"

In the violent explosion, the colorful plants below were burned to ashes by the red flames, turning the earth into scorched earth.

Meteor stood in the deep pit, continuously emitting high-temperature flames from his body, burning away the poisonous fog and making room for Luanyu and others to stand.

As soon as Luan Yu landed, he activated the soul shield. Although there was a meteor to clean up, no one knew whether there would be any residual toxins, so it was better to be cautious.

At the core of this miasma and poisonous fog, even a Titled Douluo would suffer a great loss if he was not careful.

After all, poison is something that is too difficult to deal with if there is no way to resist it, and among soul masters, only a few can control poison.

Since it had just landed, the hole in the sky created by the meteor was once again covered by poisonous fog. However, where they were on the ground, not much poisonous fog gathered towards them, but all the fog gathered towards the sky.

"I see. The main purpose is to defend against high altitudes. It seems we're doing this in vain."

Liuxing and others also realized that the miasma and poisonous fog in the core area of ​​the Sunset Forest was definitely not naturally grown, but must have been man-made.

After all, the human handiwork is too obvious.

The poisonous fog and miasma just covered the core of the Sunset Forest and focused on defending the high altitude, forming a miasma formation that even Titled Douluo did not dare to approach easily.

It was obviously a formation left by humans to protect something.

Liuxing and Liuying knew better that this formation was most likely left by Tang San. As for why it was not left by Dugu Bo, of course it was impossible for Dugu Bo to do such a large-scale formation.

Only Tang San, after becoming a god, could do this, turning the entire Sunset Forest into a Jedi, just to protect the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire from being found by outsiders.

After determining the direction, the five people headed towards the core. The Snow Girl walked in front. Wherever her footsteps passed, the cold air condensed and froze all the plants on the ground.

Follow the ice road created by the Snow Girl and move forward.

Liuxing and others gradually saw some huge skeletons. These skeletons were also colorful and had obviously been assimilated by the poisonous gas. Judging from the size of these skeletons, it was obvious that their cultivation level was not low when they were alive. They were at least ten thousand year old soul beasts.

It is unknown how many years these soul beasts have been dead. They were all poisoned to death due to the mutation of the Sunset Forest.

Seeing this scene, the five people's faces turned ugly. The soul beasts in Douluo Continent have been decreasing with the passage of time and the development of human beings.

Humans are also consciously reducing the killing of soul beasts. Apart from the soul rings they need, they rarely kill other unnecessary soul beasts.

Because they all know that once soul beasts become extinct, the soul masters and even soul instructors will also become extinct.

Because these two professions are based on the corpses of soul beasts. Without the root of soul beasts, where can soul masters hunt for soul rings? Without soul rings, soul masters will never be able to advance in their lifetime. This is the underlying rule of the plane of Douluo Continent.

But now, they saw with their own eyes that someone set up a poison array for his own selfish reasons, almost exterminating all the soul beasts in a huge forest. It would be strange if they looked happy.

Nan Shuishui was even more furious. The Sunset Forest was close to Longcheng, and their Longmen could rely on the Sunset Forest to develop better, but because of this poison array, the people of Longcheng were guarding the treasure mountain in vain and did not dare to dig.

Moreover, this treasure mountain has become a worthless wasteland as time goes by.

Originally everyone thought that this was just the effect of natural changes, but after really walking into the core of the poison array, they found traces of human intervention everywhere. How could she not feel frustrated and angry?

Beneath the colorful plants all over the ground were the corpses of soul beasts. The number of soul beasts that died here was simply astronomical, which was terrifying.

"Poisonous plants, coupled with the poisoned corpses of soul beasts, it's no wonder that the poisonous miasma in this Sunset Forest is so huge and so terrifying."

Luan Yu was shocked by the scene around him. It was hard to imagine who could be so cruel as to use the lives of all the soul beasts in the Sunset Forest to build such a huge miasma poison array.

This is really, really terrible.

Although Liuxing and Liuying guessed who was responsible, they did not say it out loud because it was meaningless.

Meteor's understanding of Tang San was clear: this was something he could do. After all, Tang San never considered the consequences of his actions. Whether it was destroying the Slaughter City, destroying the Spirit Hall, the hope of the common people, or handing the world over to the nobles and the two empires, and then walking away, it all showed his ambition.

Under the erosion of the poisonous miasma, everyone's soul power was rapidly consumed, forcing them to speed up their progress.

In this poisonous miasma, the metal soul guides can help them explore the way. Without these soul guides, they can only take their chances and see if they can come across the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

With these soul guides, the chances of finding the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire are much greater.

Soon, half an hour passed, and Liuxing and others held bottles and began to replenish their soul power.

In this poisonous miasma, their soul power is consumed at all times and places. This is because they have the ultimate ice and fire. If they don't have the ultimate ice and fire to restrain the poison gas, even a Titled Douluo can't stay in this poisonous fog for long.

No wonder no one has been able to enter the core area of ​​Sunset Forest for thousands of years.

As time went by, the seven-colored poisonous fog corroded them more and more, and their pressure became greater and greater. However, Luan Yu's detection soul guide also eliminated some directions, so they were at least going in the right direction.

This is also a consolation.

"Pause."

Luan Yu had been looking at the mirror soul guide in her hand. At this moment, she suddenly stopped and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"found it?"

Liuxing and others also looked at Luanyu in surprise.

If they still can't find the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, they will have to give up temporarily, retreat first, and come back after resting.

"We should have found it. The poisonous miasma over there has changed. It seems to be more toxic. Even my detection soul guide has been corroded."

Luan Yu pointed in a direction. You have to know that her detection soul guides are made of rare metals, which are so toxic that they can even corrode metals. This shows how toxic the miasma over there is.

The Snow Girl raised her slender jade hand, and an icy blue light surged, stirring up a snowstorm that swept towards the direction that Luan Yu pointed.

"Walk."

Taking advantage of the snowstorm, the five people moved forward quickly.

With a target in mind, their speed naturally increased. The five of them spared no effort to activate their soul power shields and rushed towards that direction with all their might.

They were more than ten kilometers away from the detection soul guide operated by Luan Yu, but for Liu Xing and his companions who were moving at full speed, these ten kilometers were just less than ten minutes.

Finally, they arrived at the location where the soul guide was detected. The scenery was completely different from before.

If the place they were in before was a colorful world, then the world now is a green world.

At first glance, it's all emerald green vegetation.

The emerald green glow spread all over the earth. The emerald green plants seemed messy, but they were spread out completely on large tracts of land.

The faint turquoise mist steams upwards and then gradually spreads outwards.

Luan Yu's detection soul guide had fallen to the ground. The metal surface was full of pits corroded by green poisonous gas, and green gas was still emitting from it.

"What kind of plant is this?"

Luan Yu and others stopped and stared at the corroded metal soul guide in amazement.

It is hard to imagine how toxic it must be to corrode metal.

These green plants are half a meter tall and have nine leaves that look like human hands, but with seven fingers. The larger ones have nine fingers, and at their tops are blooming emerald green flowers.

The emerald green mist gushed out from the stamens of these flowers, slowly spreading outwards and then merging into the colorful poisonous mist in the air.

Among the colorful poisonous fog here, green occupies the majority.

Meteor and Firefly opened their Fiery Eyes and could clearly see that behind these green plants was a sunken valley. The poisonous fog above the valley was no lighter than the one above their heads at this moment.

The emerald green mist rose high, like a green cover covering the valley, protecting the entire valley.

With a toxicity that can corrode even rare metals, not even a Titled Douluo would dare to try to break through the poison shield.

Liu Xing even suspected that even if the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo from the other side came, he would not dare to force his way into this green poisonous miasma.

After all, he couldn't even get rid of the green phosphorus snake venom in his own body, let alone these emerald green poisons that looked even more terrifying.

The only one who can cultivate this highly poisonous plant is Tang San, who possesses the complete collection of Tang Sect poisons.

After all, there are very few people who study poison on Douluo Continent. Only rare poison soul masters will study poison. People like Meng Hongchen can be considered half a poison soul master, but he has no intention of studying poison at all.

Coming and going, there is only one cold poison that comes with the martial soul.

Meteor threw out another flaming spear, which drew a red mark in the air and exploded when it approached the green poison shield.

Red flames filled the air, and a large area of ​​the colorful poisonous fog was cleared in an instant, but the gap was soon filled with thick green poisonous fog.

The extreme fire of Meteor can indeed restrain these poisonous fogs, but there is too much poisonous fog here.

The next moment, Liuxing and others' faces changed and they quickly retreated.

Because after Meteor's shot, it seemed to have angered something, and the emerald green poisonous fog suddenly rushed towards where they were.

"Wow, this guy actually has some spirituality!"

Meteor secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. With this level of defense mechanism, even a Super Douluo would break out in a cold sweat if he wanted to enter the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Meteor was certain that the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire was in the valley protected by the emerald poisonous fog.

"Is this the Seven Wonders of the Green Phosphorus Flower?"

The Snow Girl frowned, a serious look on her face.

Liuxing and the others looked at Xue Nu at the same time. They couldn't recognize these plants, not even Luan Yu and Nan Shui Shui.

"The Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolutes Flower is a plant-type soul beast, one of the most poisonous plant-type soul beasts in the world. It is extremely rare and is the soul beast that all poison soul masters dream of. As long as they can absorb a soul ring of the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolutes Flower, any poison soul master can obtain the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolutes Flower's deadly poison."

The Snow Girl said in a deep voice.

"I see. No wonder they seem to have life. They are soul beasts that possess life."

Meteor suddenly realized.
