Douluo's Gourd

Thick night fog permeated the air, covering the bright moonlight, the air was a little cold, but also a little quiet.

The huge ice and snow mountain peak is hazy under the cover of fog, like a huge statue that the world worships.

It is so majestic and majestic, overlooking everything under its feet.

The weather tonight is very good. Not only is there fog in the mountains to help cover the trail, but there is also no strong wind or snowstorm, which is very suitable for mountaineering.

After waiting for Haote's physical strength to recover almost, the three began to climb the mountain.

This mountain is very steep and not suitable for ordinary people to climb.

The surrounding stones are all dark gray, like a mountain made of dust, giving people a cold feeling.

Looking around, there is no attractive beauty, only a desolation.

The three of them walked forward silently, with the cold wind blowing beside them.

An hour later.

The three of them climbed to about two-thirds of the height of the mountain, and found a relatively gentle snow slope to avoid the wind and cold.

Oscar, who was the weakest among the three, took a few mouthfuls of hot water, and then burped comfortably.

"Finally alive, I feel like I'm about to freeze into a frozen corpse."

Coming to such a high place, the three of them more or less had some reactions, Oscar was especially serious, his face and mouth were a little swollen.

Wang Xiaofeng's face turned slightly red, but it couldn't be seen in the dark.

Hot is the most normal, his body is too resistant to cold.

Wang Xiaofeng moved his stiff muscles, "Persist for a while, according to the nesting habits of flying spirit beasts, the nests are usually built near the top of the mountain.

According to our current speed, we can arrive in about half an hour.At that time, according to the established plan, we will catch the turtle in the urn and catch them all in one go. "

Oscar put his hands together and prayed: "I hope everything will go as smoothly as planned."

After eating a few large recovery sausages, everyone regained their physical strength, and after making final preparations, they embarked on the mountaineering road again.

The next road is even more difficult. On this steep cliff that is almost vertically downward, there is no foothold.

However, this mountain seemed extremely difficult for ordinary people to climb, but for Oscar who possessed the flying soul ability, it was undoubtedly a matter of almost no effort.

A few mushroom sausages can be easily resolved.

If it wasn't for Oscar's severe altitude sickness, and the fact that he was flying too conspicuously in the air, the chances of being spotted were very high, and the group would have flown directly up with mushroom sausages.

I thought I would have to climb a certain distance, but not long after, a huge ice and snow slope suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The slope is about 45 degrees, with undulating terrain and a very wide area.

Wang Xiaofeng looked at it carefully, then touched it again, "It doesn't seem to be formed naturally, but cut out by some creature."

"Maybe I found a place, you stay here, I'll go up and see the situation."

Hot ate the phantom sausage that Oscar handed over, and climbed up the snow slope carefully.

Although the phantom sausage will destroy the invisibility when moving after taking it, but the ability to reduce the sense of existence and the fluctuation of soul power will not disappear.

In times of crisis, you can also activate the clone ability to distract the enemy's attention, which is very useful whether it is leading a war or leaving a war.

Especially after Oscar reached level 50, the number of clones increased to three, and the duration of the ability increased to 3 minutes.

After a while, Hao Te came back lightly, bringing back an exciting news, "I found a cave."

The two ate phantom sausages, climbed over the big snow slope, and followed Haote's pace on a slightly gentle snow field. They saw a rather flat platform and a cave more than five meters high.

There is only a thin layer of snowflakes on the platform, which is very abrupt in the surrounding snow environment.

The surrounding wind was very urgent, but it was hard to hide the excitement in everyone's heart.

Oscar asked softly, "Is it here?"

Wang Xiaofeng nodded slightly, in his perception, the two huge soul power clusters were as conspicuous as guiding lighthouses.

If nothing else, this is the old nest of Emperor Feather Sparrow.

Hao Te couldn't wait to carry out the martial soul possession.

"Then follow the plan." Wang Xiaofeng held the gourd, and the light from the soul ring fell on Hao Te.

The one-horned white bear let out a roar, and the double boost of strength and defense dyed a layer of red light on him, making him look extremely fierce.

Before entering the cave, he slammed the rock wall hard. Under the tremendous force, the solid ice rock shattered and turned into stones, sealing most of the cave entrance.

Hot waved his bear paw and shouted to the two people outside the cave: "I'll go back as soon as I go."

Wang Xiaofeng also waved to him, watching the figure of the giant bear disappear into the cave.

Oscar asked in confusion, "Did you understand what Brother Hao said?"

"He probably told us to stay outside and not run around."

Wang Xiaofeng said without changing his face: "I have an eighth level of bear language, and there is no bear language in the world that I can't understand."

Oscar rolled his eyes, "I believe you are a ghost, you can continue to make up."

The two of them squatted outside and gnawed on the sausage, not worried about the situation inside at all.

After all, a landing phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, let alone just two birds stuck in a cave, it's not bad to be able to play [-]% of its strength.

Unless there are other exits, these two birds are going to explain here today.

The fighting in the cave was not intense.

At the beginning, he could still feel some fluctuations of soul skills, but soon completely quieted down.

After a while, there was movement at the entrance of the cave.

Wang Xiaofeng and Oscar quickly stood up, only to see the giant bear in the form of Hao Te smashing away the huge boulder blocking the way.

The two looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that the operation went very smoothly, and the plan to catch the turtle in the jar was a great success.

Oscar ran over excitedly, but saw Hao Te with a bitter face, not at all happy.

"Brother Hao, what's the matter?"

"Hey, bad luck." Hao Te cleared out a passage, "you will know it after you come in and take a look."

The two of them who didn't know why followed Hote and walked into the cave.

The light in the cave was not as dim as imagined. There were sporadically inlaid crystal blocks emitting faint light on the surrounding mountain walls. With these faint lights, everyone could barely see the surrounding things clearly.

The cave is deep and not completely straight, and the temperature becomes slightly warmer as you go in.

Through the long cave passage.

After a while, two forked roads appeared in front of them.

Hot led them to the passage on the left.

After walking about 200 meters to the depth, the line of sight suddenly opened up, and a huge and spacious space appeared in front of everyone.

The scene of limbs flying around and blood flowing into rivers did not appear in Oscar's imagination.

There are many icicles and pits blown out by soul skills.

The big white bird and the emperor feather sparrow were lying in the center of the cave, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, and several chicks the size of a leather ball wailed helplessly around their huge bodies.

The scene in front of him seemed to touch Oscar's heartstrings, and he muttered, "It's so pitiful, I lost my parents at such a young age."

"Poor shit, they're not dead, they're just knocked unconscious by me." Hote couldn't help but spit, "Damn it, I'm really at a loss, the corpse of the ten thousand year soul beast and the newborn Your little soul beast is still worth a lot of money."

Wang Xiaofeng smiled and didn't speak.

Hao Te is such a person, kind and loyal, but also a little greedy for money.

Hao Te walked deeper into the cave without being bothered, "This place is quite big, let's search separately to see what treasures there are here."

Oscar cheered excitedly.

A man is a teenager until he dies, who doesn't like a scavenger hunt.

Wang Xiaofeng lacked interest.

As soon as he came in, he scanned the huge inner space with his soul power and mental power. There were many things that emitted fluctuations in soul power, but the reaction was too weak, and none of them could interest him.

Although there is a very small probability that there will be a treasure that is self-deprecating, but this thing is meant to be obtained by someone who is destined to get it, and it cannot be forced.

Since he couldn't arouse his interest, it already showed that there was no fate between them.

Wang Xiaofeng looked around, there was no feces or other indescribable objects around, and he didn't see any animal bones along the way, which reminded him of the fork in the road just now.

Glancing at the two who were happily playing the treasure hunt game, they didn't bother, and went back to the fork in the road alone.

They were going to the left just now, and now he is going to go to the right.

The wisdom of the ten-thousand-year soul beast is no less than that of humans. Judging from what we saw along the way, these two birds are quite clean.

According to behavioral habits, the cave on the left should be the living room and master bedroom.

So another passage should lead to the storage room?

By the way, does a soul beast like Emperor Yuque have the habit of collecting items?

The roiling thoughts in his mind did not affect Wang Xiaofeng's pace.

Walking to the end of the passage on the right, as expected, there is an empty space.

These two birds are quite diligent. In order to build this nest, the interior of the mountain was almost hollowed out.

Wang Xiaofeng's footsteps paused slightly, and then he walked into a cave that was about one-third the size of the cave on the left.

The size of the cave was small, Wang Xiaofeng took out a few moonstones from the soul tool and embedded them on the stone wall, and suddenly, the slightly dark space became brighter.

The surrounding situation is unobstructed.

With the help of the bright light, Wang Xiaofeng scanned the cave extremely cautiously, especially the stone wall in the corner, which he scanned several times.

He didn't go to the very conspicuous bone pile in the center until he found no danger.

The bones of different creatures, big and small, were piled up in a circle, and in the middle, there were more than a dozen bright flowers blooming.

"It seems to be, blood dendrobium?"

The blood-like Dendrobium flower is spherical in shape after blooming, and it likes dampness and coldness. It often appears in cold places such as ancient battlefields or cemeteries, and is often called the other shore flower.

The petals have hallucinogenic and analgesic effects.

However, although the appearance is similar, the color of the flower is different from Wang Xiaofeng's impression. The petals of the blood dendrobium in front of him are ice blue, not the traditional red.

It may be caused by the difference in the growth environment.

The soil next to it showed signs of loosening, and there should have been some different-colored blood dendrobium growing here.

It is very likely to be eaten by a big white bird, and it is normal to eat a few to relieve pain when injured.

If it was just an ordinary blood dendrobium, Wang Xiaofeng wouldn't even take a look at it. If he wanted to cultivate this thing, he could just find a dark cave and pour a pot of pig's blood on it to grow a bunch.

But he was still a little interested in such a mutant variety, so he dug up three plants with roots and soil and put them in the gourd.

The rest carefully cut off the branches from the mouth of the pile, picking off the flowers without hurting the flowers, so that they can grow again later.

Wang Xiaofeng squatted on the ground concentrating on picking the mutated blood dendrobium, when behind him, a huge black shadow quietly approached him.

A pair of cold eyes stared at his defenseless back, and the sharp claws gleamed coldly, stabbing down fiercely.

This is a must hit.

As it always does, the unsuspecting prey is disemboweled and dies, bewildered as to how it died.

The sharp claws easily cut through the thick cotton jacket.

Ding!

The sound of sharp objects colliding with iron echoed in this not-so-large space.

The ground under his feet was cracked, but his thin body was as stable as Mount Tai, showing no sign of moving at all.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the black shadow wanted to escape, but a gourd vine suddenly rose from the ground, tying it in place, making it unable to move.

"I have a total of 300 weight-bearing blocks all over my body, each weighing [-] catties, which were continuously forged by experienced blacksmiths for seven days and seven nights."

Wang Xiaofeng said flatly.

"You're not very lucky, your claws didn't get into the gap between the weights, otherwise I'd be injured more or less."

Cutting off the last branch, and putting the connected blood dendrobium flowers into the soul guide, Wang Xiaofeng clapped his hands and stood up, turned around to look at the black shadow attacking him, and cursed with some taste.

"Oscar must have been the face of Lady Luck in his previous life."

Lying on its stomach, it can reach the waist position. Its body is more than six meters long. Its body is constantly changing colors. The soul beast with the appearance of a pangolin is shrinking into a ball and shivering.

The rock wall not far behind it revealed a large hole with a diameter of one meter that had never existed before.

That location is the rock wall that Wang Xiaofeng looked at a few more times just now.

The invisibility of the mirror beast can be hidden from the eyes, but it cannot be hidden from the double scanning of mental power and soul power.

Wang Xiaofeng took out the measuring tools, such a rare mirror image beast, it's not easy to meet a live one, so don't let it go easily.

...

Oscar carefully knocked off the last crystal on the rock wall with an awl, and put it into the soul guide with satisfaction.

On both sides of him were potholed rock walls, and the ground under his feet seemed to have been plowed by oxen.

Behind them was the trembling Emperor Yuque family, with several areas bald on the abdomen and wing roots.

The most delicate and soft fluff is pulled out completely, and it will take no one to know how long it will take to grow back.

Really digging three feet, not even letting go of a hair.

After scraping everything that could be seen by the eyes, Oscar and Hao Te realized that there seemed to be something missing among them.

Hao Te looked around, "Hey, where is Dr. He?"

Oscar Cub spread his hands, "I don't know, he was still there when he first came in, did he go out to use the toilet?"

"Go out and have a look and you'll know."

Watching the figures of the two disappear at the end of the cave, the Di Yuque family shed tears of rebirth after the catastrophe.

When he reached the fork in the road, Hot stopped suddenly and almost bumped into Oscar who was behind him.

Hao Te looked around and said in a low voice, "Did you hear the cry of the child?"

"No." Oscar touched his nose, seeing that Hao Te's expression didn't seem to be pretending, his body became a little stiff.

"Brother Hao, don't scare me, I'm scared."

"The sound is coming from the left."

Hao Te was not afraid of such nagging things. He had traveled all over the world for decades and had never seen anything. He picked up Oscar and ran towards the sound.

Turning around the fork, Oscar finally heard the faint cry, if Hao Te hadn't led him to run, he would have been lying on the spot.

A soft blue light glows at the end of the tunnel.

"The sound came from inside."

Staring at the exit that was close at hand, Haote lowered his footsteps as much as possible, then quietly stretched out half of his head, his eyes quickly swept across the interior.

The soft light filled the entire cave, and he found the familiar figure in the center without any difficulty, recording something in front of a huge grass cage.

"Doctor He, so you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time." Haotla walked in with Oscar openly.

Wang Xiaofeng didn't reply: "Have you finished collecting and blowing?"

Hao Te brightened the ring in his hand: "Of course, all the valuables are here, and there is nothing left for them."

Oscar, who was standing by the side, curiously touched around, and then saw the source of the sound. It was a thing with only one head left, floating in mid-air, constantly crying like a child.

"Oh my god." Oscar was frightened and paralyzed on the ground.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Xiaofeng rolled his eyes, clenched his fist with his right hand and hammered the mirror image beast that kept making noises.

Boom!

The power of the shock passed through the solid scale armor.

The Mirror Beast's eyes turned white, and it suddenly fainted on the ground. The lens-like scales on its body dimmed visible to the naked eye, revealing its ordinary crystal-like body.

"I can't even recognize the mirror beast, so I have the nerve to say that I want to take its soul ring."

Hao Te looked at the same soul beast as in the picture, and became even more puzzled: "It's really a mirror beast, but why does the mirror beast appear here?"

Wang Xiaofeng pointed to the bone pile in the center and explained: "This is the blood dendrobium flower, which is a relatively rare plant for soul beasts. It has hallucinogenic effects and is highly addictive. It will only bloom in cold and bloody places. place.

The Imperial Feather Finch family deliberately threw the inexhaustible food scraps here, just to cultivate these flowers. "

Wang Xiaofeng pointed to the big hole in the corner that was difficult to ignore, "Then one day, this mirror image beast accidentally dug into this place and saw these food scraps.

It is also highly daring, relying on its stealth characteristics, it has been stealing food without being discovered.

From then on, it lay down and slept, woke up to eat, and lived a happy life that could solve food and clothing without fighting. "

At a glance, Oscar saw that the pile of bones was indeed clean, there was not even a single shred of meat on the bones, and they were smooth and clean.

Wang Xiaofeng changed his voice, "Of course, the above is purely my own speculation, any similarity is purely coincidental."

Hao Te almost fainted, "Good guy, so you have been making up stories with us."

Wang Xiaofeng smiled nonchalantly: "Normal people will know the story as soon as they hear it. After all, it takes a lot of energy to maintain such a large body for activities. Just licking the bones is not enough."

"Okay, that's the end of the joke." Wang Xiaofeng pointed at the unconscious Mirror Beast, and said seriously to Oscar:

"Xiao Ao, this mirror beast is 6.131 meters long. According to speculation, its age is between 11000 and 12000 years, which is just at the limit that a 50-level soul master can bear. Are you sure you want to absorb it?"

Twelve thousand years, this is the limit of years that a normal soul master's fifth soul ring can bear.

But most soul masters would not choose a ten thousand year soul ring for their fifth soul ring.

A solid foundation, a top martial soul, and a tenacious will are the conditions needed to touch the limit of the soul ring, and the three are indispensable.

Forcibly absorbing the ten-thousand-year spirit ring, the best result is serious injury, and luck is almost blown away by the berserk spirit power on the spot.

Haote gave up directly, because he did not meet the first condition and he was unwilling to sign a contract of sale, so he did not have so many resources to lay the foundation, which could save money.

It wasn't until the sixth soul ring that Hao Te thought that he could meet the conditions needed to withstand the ten thousand year soul ring, so he dared to choose an 8000 year soul beast as the soul ring.

As an auxiliary soul master, Oscar's physical fitness is definitely not up to the standard. Logically speaking, Wang Xiaofeng must not agree to Oscar absorbing the soul ring of this mirror image beast.

But the bad thing is that this kid has eaten the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid Immortal Grass, and his root bones have been reforged, so he can't be treated as an ordinary soul master, which made Wang Xiaofeng a little uncertain, so he left the decision to Oscar, Let him choose.

Oscar took out the sharp blade and expressed his attitude with actions.

A somewhat indifferent face was reflected on the cold blade.

"The moment the elite competition finals ended, I thought I had reached the top of the mountain, but Xiaosan's father and the elders of the Wuhun Temple let me see how cruel the real world of soul masters is.

If you don't have strength, you can't even protect your beloved girl.

At that moment, I was thinking, if one day, I also faced the same situation as Xiaosan, I must win everything.

Now that the mirror beast is in front of me, I have to consider whether this is my only chance in this life. "

Hand up, knife down.

Yu Chang's sharp blade pierced deeply from the eye of the mirror shadow beast, allowing this gluttonous soul beast to end its life without pain.

...
