Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 2 The Call of Blood (Please Collect)

Hu Hu Hu.

In the night, a pitch-black soul-guided helicopter with a strange dark light passed through the thin clouds and the cold evening breeze and entered the infinitely prosperous world.

Looking down from above, it was a vast city, vast enough to astonish anyone. Rows upon rows of towering buildings stretched endlessly, like a steel forest towering over the earth.

On the streets, cars are constantly flowing, and the headlights draw flowing light tracks, as if golden rivers are rushing through the veins of the city.

The red light turned green, and in an instant, pedestrians came in an endless stream, crossing each other, blending into the clamor of traffic and honking horns.

In the distance, the colorful lights of the Ferris wheel slowly rotate, like an incredible time machine, giving you a panoramic view of the prosperity and fantasy of the city.

But the most eye-catching thing in this city is a tower-shaped building that is much taller than the others. It is like the pillar of a god's palace, overlooking all the mountains and pointing straight to the sky.

This is the most prosperous city in Douluo Continent, Shrek City!

"Identity confirmed, greetings."

Qiangu Qingfeng heard an electronic sound received from outside. He did not move, but his hands kept gently stroking the two boxes that carried his child's ashes and the last remaining soul.

Three hundred meters away from the soul-guided helicopter, fifteen soul-guided mechas of different colors and shapes were suspended in the air with the kinetic energy provided by the thrusters, watching it fly away until the soul-guided helicopter disappeared into the darkness, and then they were retracted.

"I'm so envious of being able to fly over Shrek City at night that I don't even want to say it anymore."

"Don't you fly at night too?"

"Can this be the same?"

"Just tell me whether you can fly or not."

"Captain, is this the Black Demon Soul Guide Helicopter? It is said to be able to fuse souls and spirits, and its cost is even higher than your Black-level mecha."

"So awesome?"

Inside the black-level humanoid mecha at the front of the team, a middle-aged man calmly withdrew his gaze and said lightly, "Who knows? Okay, let's continue patrolling."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eight-meter-tall mecha with smooth lines, giving people a very light feeling, slowly increased the energy output of the thrusters on the soles and back, and spewed out flames, driving it to fly forward.

Everyone quickly shut up and followed the captain to maintain patrol formation.

In Shrek City, the first city in Douluo Continent, there are a total of thirty patrol teams led by black mechas.

Even Mingdu, the capital of the Sun-Moon Federation, cannot match such a configuration.

Because these thirty mecha patrol teams are two of the top soul master forces on the continent, they were funded and built by Shrek Academy and the Soul Pagoda respectively.

Amid the howling wind, the soul-guided helicopter left behind the thousands of tall buildings and entered a special mountain and forest area called the Spirit World.

This place is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Spirit Pagoda. Even Shrek Academy does not have much supervisory power.

It all started in ancient times. Back then, when the Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao proposed a plan to expand Shrek City, the Spirit Pagoda provided a great deal of assistance over the years, ultimately acquiring a piece of land for its own construction.

On the outskirts of the Spiritual World, a faint yellow light occasionally flickered, like an inverted bowl, protecting the area. Its strength was enough to withstand the simultaneous bombardment of ten level eight fixed-type soul guide shells.

If the function is opened to the limit, it can even withstand three ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells.

During the day, the core magic array inside this light energy shield will continuously absorb the sun's energy and does not require artificial charging.

Usually, coastal cities with sufficient finances will have a weakened version of this light energy shield, mainly to resist the impact of typhoons.

A typical example is the several cities in the east of Douluo Continent, headed by Tianhai City.

Just when the soul-guided helicopter was two hundred meters away from the light energy shield, several rays of light immediately swept in from inside the mountain. After confirming its identity, a layer of ripples appeared on the surface of the huge light energy shield, and then an entrance large enough for it to pass through opened instantly.

The soul-guided helicopter flew through it and headed straight for a villa halfway up the mountain, eventually landing slowly at a marked helipad.

"Master, we are here."

A low voice sounded, interrupting Qiangu Qingfeng's mind which had been drifting away for a long time.

He rubbed his brows and was about to stand up when suddenly, a pleasant and distant piano sound rang in his ears. The sound was so penetrating that even the soundproof shield of the Black Magic Soul Guide Helicopter could not block it.

He paused and sighed, "Youming, what do you think I should do?"

To one side, a humanoid spirit, shrouded in a pitch-black light, froze for a moment, its pupils pulsing with soul fire appearing bewildered. "I don't know, but I can apply what you said when you left the Qiangu Family and traveled the world alone. Now that things have come to this, I believe you must face what you must face."

"Yes." Qiangu Qingfeng sighed, "We have to face it." His hands, which were strong enough to shatter mountains, began to tremble at this moment.

Even when he returned to the family to challenge his second brother who was more trusted by the family, he had never done this in front of all the family members.

Walking from the helipad into the villa estate is like walking from the noisy human world into nature.

Qiangu Qingfeng walked lightly into a bamboo forest.

In the center of the bamboo forest, there is a pavilion. At this time, the melodious wind blows, stirring the bamboo forest, making a soothing sound.

But what makes people feel more peaceful is the sound of the piano blending into the wind.

Here, even the violent fire element could not help but calm down.

But Qiangu Qingfeng's heart could never calm down. He looked at the beautiful figure sitting cross-legged in the pavilion with his eyes flickering constantly.

Her delicate hands caressed the snow-white guzheng, and a faint cold mist surged from between the fingers that plucked the strings. Xia Zheng's cold and pretty face had a faint smile on it. As the most powerful sonic soul master in the world, playing the guzheng has become a hobby that has been integrated into her soul. Moreover, playing the guzheng is the best way for her to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.

"Qingfeng, your heart is in turmoil." Xia Zheng closed her eyes coldly and spoke softly.

Qiangu Qingfeng was not surprised that his wife had sensed it, as the two of them had been in tune with each other for a long time.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Qiangu Qingfeng remained silent, Xia Zheng asked with a cold smile. Her fingers that were plucking the strings did not stop. The sound of the piano became softer under her control, as if it could wash away all worries.

Qiangu Qingfeng looked at his beloved wife with a complicated expression: "Anan and Yue'er...something happened."

Xia Zhengleng's fingers that were plucking the strings suddenly stopped.

The melodious piano music suddenly stopped.

The air in the bamboo forest seemed to freeze.

Qiangu Qingfeng said in a deep voice, "Not long ago, Dongfeng discovered another unknown small world in Xingluo Continent. In order to find a way to save Liu Jing, Anan and Yue'er rushed in without any advance team to explore. Sun Kong was worried about them, so he took a few people with him."

"Inside, they discovered a small number of spiritual objects beneficial to the soul, which gave them hope. However, the spatial node connecting the small world to the Douluo plane suddenly became unstable and could close within four hours. Anan and Yue'er were worried about not having enough time, so they proposed to disperse midway. As a result, they encountered an evil soul master during their dispersed actions."

"After a fight to the death, we will die together."

He didn't go into too much detail, but the last sentence was particularly difficult to read.

Xia Zhengleng's breathing suddenly quickened, and she didn't know when her tightly closed eyes opened. In the depths of her eyes, which were as still as water, a strange light jumped. In an instant, the invisible musical soul power spread out fiercely, and countless cracks appeared in every part of the bamboo forest as if it had been cut into pieces by thousands of knives.

Qiangu Qingfeng reacted quickly, unleashing the powerful soul power within him. Layer upon layer of energy covered the bamboo forest, preventing it from being ripped apart. He said in a deep voice, "Anan and Yue'er still have a last vestige of their immortal souls. They want to see Liu Jing one last time. How about coming with me? I'll tell you more later."

Xia Zheng closed her eyes in pain.
"it is good."

...

In the villa hall, Qiangu Qingfeng and Xia Zhengleng stood side by side, staring at the two gradually dissipating souls in front of them, and remained silent for a long time.

When the two souls dissipated, Xia Zhengleng seemed to have lost her strength. She fell back onto the sofa in a daze, covering her face with her hands.

It has always been a very sad thing for the elderly to see their loved ones die young.

There was also grief in Qiangu Qingfeng's eyes, but his wife needed him more at this time. He was about to speak to comfort her, but suddenly, a ripple appeared in his calm spiritual sea, as if something had touched his perception.

Looking down at the soul guide storage ring on his finger, his eyes became deep.

……

On the east side of the villa, in the warmly decorated bedroom.

Lying on the soft bed was a little boy who looked to be about five or six years old. Perhaps because he rarely got sun exposure, his skin was very pale, with a faint cold glow.

He has been in this coma for several months.

The wind blowing in from the window gently blew his black and smooth hair, and everything seemed very peaceful.

But at this moment, a crack appeared inexplicably on one side of the house, as if struck by lightning. The next moment, a bead-shaped existence came out from it. It seemed to sense the call between blood and quickly fell onto the boy's body, like cotton candy meeting hot water, quietly blending into it.
