Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 136 Obstacles, Inner Alchemy

"6 years? That's equivalent to a Soul Sage who can use soul skills normally. No wonder the road to hell after winning 100 games in a row is a more difficult test. If an ordinary person encounters it, it would be very dangerous."

Liu Erlong was stunned when he heard this, and then analyzed.

"But it's bad luck for this soul beast to have met us this time. But Chen Yao, how do you know so much? The King of Slaughter shouldn't tell you this, right?"

At this time, A Yin looked at Chen Yao with some curiosity.

"The original intention of this Hell Road is to allow participants to escape the pursuit of the Bat King, not to fight it head-on. The Spirit Hall is a big family with a big business, so naturally there are capable people who come to the Slaughter City to train, and they are naturally clear about the information here."

Chen Yao responded perfunctorily, but as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion in front of him. Countless bats opened their scarlet eyes, opened their mouths, showing their sharp teeth, and emitted a strong sound wave that made the eardrums vibrate. Then they flew and attacked Chen Yao and others.

"Wow!"

However, before the bats could get close, Liu Erlong jumped up first. The wings of the magic dragon behind her vibrated, and a ball of raging purple fire swept out, covering the endless bats.

Accompanied by a series of "squeaking" screams, pieces of black charcoal fell from the sky.

When the flames dissipated, the sky was already clear.

Seeing this, the bats that survived and were not affected by the flames screamed again.

Then a huge figure emerged from the darkness.

It's a big guy.

It was about as tall as a man, with a wingspan of nearly 4 meters. Its body was dark gold in color, and its eyes were bloodshot. It looked at Chen Yao and the others with bloodthirsty intent.

"Is this the Bat King? He doesn't look that great, does he? Is this the test of the road to hell?"

Ah Yin cast a glance over, with a gleam of inquiry in her eyes. As a hundred thousand year old soul beast herself, she could naturally judge the approximate strength of the soul beast in front of her. Compared with some of the best soul beasts of the same realm in the Star Dou Great Forest, this Bat King was obviously much inferior.

"Stop talking nonsense. No matter what this bat is, just kill it first!"

Before Ah Yin could finish her words, Liu Erlong interrupted her. Looking at the huge bat in front of her, a sharp look flashed in her eyes. She flapped her wings, raised her sharp claws, and swooped towards the bat king.

The Bat King's advantage of being able to fly in such a narrow and dangerous area disappeared completely when facing Liu Erlong. How could it compare to the magic dragon that was strengthened by divine power relying solely on its physical strength?
In just a brief encounter with Liu Erlong, the Bat King fell into a disadvantage, his body kept retreating in the air, and shocking scarlet bloodstains appeared on his thick arms and huge bat wings!
Seeing this, Ah Yin underground did not stand idly by. He waved his hands, and with a low hum that sounded like a prayer, the blue silver grass on the path suddenly began to grow wildly, continuously extending towards the sky above.

In just a short moment, it grew to nearly 20 meters, almost occupying the dim space and turning it into a dense forest.

Countless thick blue silver grasses twisted wildly in the air, sweeping towards the Bat King who was already struggling to resist.

At the same time, facing the unstoppable and ferocious Tyrannosaurus in front of him and the sneak attacks and control of countless absent Blue Silver Grass, the Bat King was already showing signs of fatigue.

Even though it used its most powerful soul skill, it was still overwhelmed by the countless blue silver grasses with tremendous vitality in front of it, and did not create even the slightest ripple.

For a moment, a hint of human despair flashed in the Bat King's scarlet eyes.

Soon, with the cooperation of A Yin and Liu Erlong, the Bat King's breath continued to weaken, and finally, his physical strength gradually ran out. After a scream, he was completely overwhelmed by the endless blue silver grass and the thick purple flames.

"Phew! Piece of cake!"

Looking at the broken corpse that fell heavily on the cliff not far away, with a black soul ring rising from it, Ah Yin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a chuckle.

"despair!"

At this time, Liu Erlong also slowly descended from the sky, glanced at the corpse of the Bat King, then looked at Chen Yao and spoke.

"It's not that difficult. The strength of this Bat King should only be above average among 6-year-old soul beasts, not the best. Is this the only test of the Hell Road?"

Chen Yao shook his head when he heard this.

"There is one last test. It can't really be called a soul beast. Anyway, it is much stronger than the Bat King. However, with our strength, it won't be too much trouble to deal with it."

Liu Erlong nodded after hearing this.

"Then let's go, get out as soon as possible."

Several people agreed with what he said, and then stepped forward on the path again. As for the spirit ring of the Bat King, it was naturally ignored by all of them. Not to mention that they could not absorb the spirit ring due to the restrictions of this place, but also, none of them were interested in the spirit ring of the Bat King.

After walking for a while, although the road was covered by A Yin's domain, everyone still clearly felt that the temperature around them began to rise continuously. A scorching hot wind was howling, and the refreshing feeling on the bodies of the few people in the domain was blown away a lot.

"Looks like we're almost there, a guy with fire attribute?"

Liu Erlong murmured as he felt the changing environment around him.

However, Ah Yin shook his head and told the message he received from the Blue Silver Grass.

"No, we're already there. The guy is just ahead."

After hearing this, the few of them moved forward a distance and saw the guy they were about to face.

Its body was extremely huge, crawling on the path, with no end in sight, blocking the way for the people to move forward.

On that huge head, those red and bloodthirsty eyes like two lanterns were staring at Chen Yao and the others in front of them. On that head, there were nine tumors, each of which looked like a bright red mushroom. It seemed that blood was flowing inside them, and some kind of energy was brewing.

"It is indeed much more powerful than the Bat King."

Liu Erlong stared at the giant snake in front of him, his expression slightly solemn.

"Pay attention to those nine tumors. They contain strong toxins. If you are infected, it will be troublesome. None of us can detoxify."

Chen Yao on the side also nodded, gave a reminder, and then took a step forward.

"Liu Erlong will be the main attacker, I will assist, and Ah Yin and Yue Hua will control and assist."

After assigning the responsibilities of several people, Chen Yao's figure gradually became illusory and disappeared into the dark shadows, but at the same time, a cold and terrifying atmosphere arose around him.

In such an environment, it’s not just the soul beasts that are at the center, it’s also Chen Yao’s home turf.

As a dragon-type soul master, Liu Erlong, with his thick skin and flesh, is more suitable for attracting hatred, strong attacks and resisting injuries.

Chen Yao, on the other hand, is more suited to hiding in the dark, looking for opportunities, and then unleashing terrifying energy and soul power.

As for Tang Yuehua and Ah Yin hiding in the back to provide assistance and control, there is no need to say more. So after hearing this, several people nodded and had no objection to Chen Yao's assignment.

Almost at the same time, Liu Erlong's magic wings emerged behind him, vibrating the air, and he soared into the air, wrapped in purple flames, rushing towards the giant snake in front.

Ah Yin and Tang Yuehua stood together.

First, the green light waved by Yin turned into a barrier, covering the two of them, ensuring their safety.

Only then did the blue silver grass begin to grow, turning the place into a forest again, sweeping towards the giant snake to interfere with it.

Tang Yuehua, who was inside the barrier, was also not idle. She held the purple Ruyi in both hands and turned the dim cave into a bright starry sky.

The stars flickered, shining towards Liu Erlong, A Yin and Chen Yao who was hidden in the darkness.

All of a sudden, the three of them felt a surge of soul power in their bodies, as if it was endless. Their minds became clear and the trajectory of things in front of them slowed down a lot.

Tang Yuehua's auxiliary ability does not rely on the spirit ring, but the spirit ring itself can provide almost all-round assistance!
"Roar!"

Feeling several terrifying soul powers rising in front of it, a violent look appeared on the ferocious head of the strange snake. It roared, causing the rocks in this space to tremble.

Then a fiery red flame suddenly erupted from its mouth, carrying a strong fishy smell, and went towards Liu Erlong, who was leading the way with a surging momentum.

"Playing with fire? I'm not afraid of anyone!"

Seeing this, Liu Erlong sneered, and then purple flames burst out from her body. She did not even dodge, but rushed headlong into the fiery red flames spewed out by the strange snake.

Liu Erlong's body was engulfed by the fiery red color, but the flame also stopped where it was.

And a moment later, a hint of purple suddenly emerged from the flames and then continued to spread.

"Bulging!"

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a loud bang of an explosion, the ball of flame was actually blown up by the ball of purple and exploded. Sparks flew in all directions and scattered on the surrounding mountain walls, causing another earth-shaking movement.

Liu Erlong dispersed the flames and walked out slowly. He sneered at the giant snake. Then he kicked the ground hard with his toes and flew again, approaching the strange snake!

The strange snake's face was filled with shock and anger at this moment. Its huge body was surging and full of momentum. It was about to launch an attack on Liu Erlong in front of it, but suddenly, it felt a shadow covering its body.

The strange snake felt something was wrong and wanted to move, but suddenly countless blue silver grasses swept in from all directions and completely entangled its huge body!

It was greatly shocked and quickly mobilized the energy in its body. Suddenly, a layer of blazing flames burned on its body surface and began to burn the blue silver grass on its body.

However, those blue silver grasses with strong vitality actually lasted for three breaths before they were burned to pieces.

And the layer upon layer of blue silver grass covering his body, countless in number, could not be completely burned for a moment, making it impossible for him to escape.

Just when the strange snake was trapped in the blue silver grass, the previous darkness completely enveloped its huge body.

Immediately afterwards, from the shadows covering his entire body, sharp and cold black thorns burst out!

The intense pain seemed to have been implanted into its body from another level, bursting out from its flesh, blood, and bones, piercing its surface. The pupils of the monster snake trembled violently in an instant, and then a sharp scream and wail broke out.

But this is not the end yet. At this moment, Liu Erlong, who was wrapped in purple flames, also followed.

She was located right above the monster snake's head, looking at the snake's struggling and twisting body below, with a fierce light flashing in her eyes. Without hesitation, she raised her sharp dragon claws and swooped down. Faintly, the strong winds tearing through the air around her seemed to gather together to form a majestic dragon roar!

"Puch!"

As a flash of scarlet blood flashed in the dim space, Liu Erlong's figure appeared in the belly of the strange snake.

A scarlet blood hole had appeared on the strange snake's raised head, and its scarlet eyes, which originally held a violent look, had lost their luster and became extremely dim.

Afterwards, the head drooped weakly, dragging down the entire huge body, which fell to the ground with a loud bang, without a sign of life.

Looking at the huge corpse in front of her, Liu Erlong stood below, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Ah Yin and Tang Yuehua behind him had already removed the barrier, walked up, and looked at the strange snake, also with confusion on their faces.

"Strange, why is there no spirit ring after this spirit beast died?"

Tang Yuehua asked curiously.

At this time, Chen Yao, who had been hiding in the darkness, slowly emerged, stepped on the huge body of the strange snake, slowly walked to the position of the head, summoned out a black tentacle, and drilled into the hideous blood hole on it.

After a while of groping, the tentacle was slowly pulled out.

There is also a small golden-red bead on it.

The small beads were round and shiny with a unique luster. There was no stain of blood or filth on them, and they looked magical.

Afterwards, Chen Yao jumped off the head of the strange snake. After he slowly landed on the ground, the three women hurried over and looked at the small beads in Chen Yao's hand with curiosity.

"Ayao, what is this? Where is the soul ring of this soul beast?"

Tang Yuehua asked first.

"How should I put it? This snake is not considered a soul beast. It has no soul rings. All its energy is concentrated in this small bead."

Chen Yao looked at the small beads in his hand and said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh? Then can absorbing this little bead form a spirit ring?"

Ah Yin was very curious about this soul beast without soul ring, so he asked.

"No, and because of the properties of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Snake, the toxins gathered in this bead are all from its body. I see that none of us have martial spirits that are related to toxins, so I will keep this thing for now."

Chen Yao made up an excuse casually and shamelessly put the small bead into his soul guide, causing Liu Erlong and A Yin to roll their eyes.

However, they had long been accustomed to Chen Yao's shamelessness and did not think there was anything strange about it. They were too lazy to say more. As long as Chen Yao could hand in his homework on time, everything could be discussed.
