Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 44 Demonic Forest
Liu Xing looked at the mirror soul guide in Luan Yu's hand, then at the small detection soul guide that nimbly shuttled through the forest, secretly clicking his tongue. Isn't this equivalent to the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in his world? The difference is that the detection soul guide released by Luan Yu relies on soul power to levitate.

In this world, soul power actually seems to be omnipotent and is needed for everything.

The soul skills in this world are all kinds of strange and bizarre, some even touch upon the concept, and the outrageous ones can even resurrect the dead.

It is soul power that drives these soul skills.

Only Luan Yu is a ninth-level soul engineer who can operate more than ten detection soul guides at a time without any pressure. If she goes all out, it should be no problem for her to release hundreds of detection soul guides.

This is the soul guide. Although they cannot compare with the soul master in terms of soul power quality, they are both abundant in quantity.

However, in battle, quantity is useless. When encountering the soul power of a soul master, the soul engineer's soul power will be shattered at the touch. This is one of the reasons why soul engineers will be in a panic once a soul master gets close to them.

The soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire is indeed powerful. Compared with his world, each has its own merits. It can only be said that the development direction is different.

According to Luan Yu, the Sun-Moon Empire has something called a ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided cannonball, which has the power to instantly destroy a small city. One ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided cannonball can destroy a small city, two can destroy a medium-sized city, and ten can even destroy the largest city.

Moreover, the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells, combined with the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide launchers, can carry out targeted strikes across half the continent, provided that they are not intercepted. However, even so, they are already comparable to the missiles in Meteor's world. With the development potential of soul guides, even if a super soul guide comparable to a nuclear bomb is finally developed, Meteor will not be surprised.

A ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell would kill even a Titled Douluo if it was hit head-on. This was one of the reasons why the Sun-Moon Empire, despite having far fewer ninth-level soul guides than the Titled Douluo of the Three Original Douluo Kingdoms, was still able to suppress the Three Original Douluo Kingdoms.

Liu Xing began to understand why the Tang Sect's hidden weapons were replaced by soul guides. In terms of versatility and warfare, soul guides crushed hidden weapons. Although some hidden weapons were so outrageous that they could hurt gods, they probably did not inherit such hidden weapons, otherwise they would not have declined.

As they advanced, Liu Xing and his companions gradually passed the outer area and headed towards the inner area of ​​the Demon Forest. The strength of the surrounding soul beasts also began to grow stronger. Hundred-year soul beasts could be seen everywhere, and thousand-year soul beasts also appeared occasionally. However, under the aura of Luan Yu Titled Douluo, they still fled.

Two hours later, they were already very close to the inner area. Luan Yu waved his hand and changed the direction with Liu Xing, moving around the edge of the inner area. Once they entered the inner area, there would be ten thousand year old soul beasts. When they reached ten thousand years old, the soul beasts were very intelligent. Even if Luan Yu released the aura of a Titled Douluo, they would still dare to come up and touch him, because they could tell the difference between a Titled Douluo and a hundred thousand year old soul beast.

It is in this kind of area that one is most likely to encounter the activities of young but noble-blooded soul beasts, and it is also the target of Luan Yu and his team this time.

After entering this range, Luan Yu restrained his aura and carefully concealed his breath. Facing a ten thousand year old soul beast, the aura of a Titled Douluo was no longer effective and would instead attract some powerful soul beasts to attack.

So Luan Yu changed his previous arrogant attitude, restrained his breath, released the soul guide to clear the way and detect, and the whole team appeared to be very low-key.

It was the first time for Liuxing and the other little guys to come to the territory where soul beasts lived. They were full of curiosity, but they did not dare to stay away from Luanyu. Among them, only Liuying had the ability to protect himself. Although Liuxing inherited Liuying's physical fitness, he had zero combat experience.

You can't expect combat experience or instinct from a sickly person who spends most of his time in bed. Right now, he can only rely on his physical prowess to fly. He can rely on his physical prowess to fight off a hundred-year-old soul beast, but if it's a thousand-year-old, he's out of luck. Without transforming into Sam, Liuying could probably only fight a thousand-year-old soul beast. If it were a ten-thousand-year-old, he'd have no choice but to run away or transform.

After all, a six-year-old's body is there, and no matter how strong the foundation is, one must abide by the Basic Law!

Xu Tianzhen and Ye Guyi were very nervous at first, but as the approaching soul beasts were scared away by Luan Yu, they began to adapt to walking in the gloomy and evil forest.

Although we don't expect the little guys to hunt soul beasts by themselves, training is still necessary. But the prerequisite is to obtain soul rings first. It's not too late to train and leave.

The ruler of the Demon Forest is the Evil Eye Clan. Once you enter the inner area, you are likely to encounter the Evil Eye. The Evil Eye is a spiritual soul beast and there is a high possibility that it will discover you. There is no benefit in killing them. No one on their side needs a spiritual soul ring, and they may also attract a stronger Evil Eye Tyrant, which is not worth the loss.

So next Luan Yu took Liu Xing and the others to the border between the inner and outer areas to look for suitable soul beasts. However, this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Hunting soul beasts is time-consuming and depends on luck. Many soul masters who hunt for soul rings will return empty-handed. It takes several consecutive attempts to get something.

Of course, that was just bad luck.

The Demon Forest is very large, second only to the Star Forest and the Far North. Meteor and his friends are ready to spend several days in the Demon Forest.

Several people walked forward cautiously. Suddenly, a chaotic soul power fluctuation came from the front. Luan Yu frowned. Is this a battle between soul beasts?

Liuxing and the others have awakened their martial souls and possess soul power, but none of them have felt the fluctuations of soul power. Although Liuying has rich combat experience, she does not understand soul power and was unable to discover it in time.

Luan Yu signaled Liuxing and the others to hide beside a big tree, and then she controlled a soul detection device to explore the direction of the soul power explosion.

Liuxing and the others looked at the mirror soul guide in Luanyu's hand with curiosity. As the detection soul guide got closer, Liuxing and the others saw two soul beasts fighting in the mirror image after a while.

There was a vast open space, full of potholes and pits, and the surrounding trees were fallen and broken, showing the intensity of the battle.

Above the open space, two mysterious soul beasts were confronting each other.

One of the soul beasts was enormous and sturdy, covered in a layer of shiny, metallic scales. It possessed astonishing defensive power, reflecting surrounding light, making it faintly visible even in the dark. Its head resembled that of a lion, its eyes like two burning rubies, radiating a cold gaze. Its nose was high, and its mouth was wide, housing incredibly sharp teeth. Each one gleamed with a cold light, as if it could easily bite through steel.
