Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 54 Burning Worm

Burning bugs are rare and are even rarer than top-level soul beasts. Luan Yu and his companions were extremely lucky to encounter two burning bugs on the outskirts of the Demon Forest. Not to mention that these two burning bugs were obviously only at the thousand-year level judging by the color of their flames.

The color of the burning insect's flame will change as its cultivation level increases. A hundred thousand year old burning insect is burning with golden flames all over its body, and its temperature is comparable to the ultimate fire, making it extremely powerful.

Of course, only a hundred thousand year old burning insect can evolve its flame into the ultimate fire. The flame of a ten thousand year old burning insect is still one level short of the ultimate fire, not to mention a thousand year old burning insect.

However, this does not matter to Meteors and Fireflies. They are originally the ultimate fire. The burning insect body is an energy body, and the first soul ring it provides is no worse than that of the top-level fire-attribute soul beasts.

Luan Yu made a gesture to Liu Xing and the others to silence them. The burning insects were extremely fast and had great explosive power. Once frightened, they could run away in an instant. Although Luan Yu was confident that she could catch up with them, she didn't want to waste her time and effort. It would be troublesome if any accidents happened again.

Luan Yu took out two soul guides shaped like pistols, and his figure was like a ghost. Under the cover of a big tree, he approached the two burning insects silently.

With her cultivation level as a Titled Douluo, even if it was a fake Titled Douluo, two thousand-year-old soul beasts could not resist her. If it were not for the purpose of avoiding unnecessary trouble, she would not be so cautious.

After all, fast-moving soul beasts can sometimes be really troublesome, and it is easy to get lost in danger when chasing them.

As the distance shortened, Luan Yu instantly raised the soul guide in his hand, and two ice-blue soul guide rays shot out like lightning. The two burning insects were startled by the fluctuation of soul power, and the flames on their bodies suddenly surged by three points, but unfortunately it was too late. As the ice-blue soul guide rays hit, the two burning insects stiffened, and then were covered by ice and fell to the ground.

But Meteor and others could clearly see that the ice was melting from the inside out. It was obvious that the burning insects had not lost their ability to resist, and the freezing rays could not directly make them lose their ability to resist.

Luan Yu did not expect that two freezing rays would be enough to deal with the burning bugs. In order not to kill the burning bugs directly, Luan Yu only used two fourth-level soul guides. If the level was higher, it would be easy to kill the burning bugs in seconds, and the soul rings of Meteor and Firefly would be wasted.

Only the soul rings dropped by soul beasts killed by yourself can be absorbed by yourself. Soul rings dropped by soul beasts killed by others cannot be absorbed.

However, with the soul power of Meteor and Firefly, they cannot use the fifth-level soul guide.

But this was enough. Luan Yu instantly came to the place where the burning insects fell. The cold air in her hands filled the air and froze the two burning insects again. This time, with Luan Yu's own cold air suppressing her and her control of the temperature, she was able to freeze the two burning insects without harming their lives.

Seeing that Luan Yu had successfully controlled the two burning insects, Liu Xing and the others poked their heads out from their hiding places and ran towards Luan Yu's position.

"Do we really want to absorb a thousand-year-old soul beast? Isn't it too dangerous?"

Xu Tianzhen and Ye Guyi both looked at Liuxing and Liuying with worry, especially Xu Tianzhen. It was very difficult for her to absorb a soul beast that was more than four hundred years old, let alone a thousand-year-old soul beast. If it were her turn, the only outcome would be explosion and death.

"Don't worry, we are confident. Aunt is here, nothing will happen."

Liuxing comforted him, saying that if he hadn't been absolutely sure, he wouldn't have been so radical. What gave him this confidence was not Fire Phoenix Douluo's test, but Liuying.

When Firefly is at its peak, it can explode a planet. Although it is not acclimatized to the local climate and has become younger, its foundation is still there and it has a thousand-year soul ring, so it is worth a try.

Meteor and Firefly approached the two Burning Bugs. As Luanyu lifted the cold pressure, the ice began to melt. The moment the ice completely melted, they simultaneously thrust their soul-guided daggers. With two "pops," the energy cores of the two Burning Bugs were pierced, and their bodies, still frozen, stiffened once more.

As two circles of light purple soul rings emerged, it meant that the two burning insects were dead.

Meteor and Firefly looked at each other, and their bodies were simultaneously wrapped in flames. Two silver-white mechas replaced their bodies. They began to follow the method taught by Luan Yu. With their martial spirits possessed, they mobilized the soul power in their bodies and began to pull the soul ring of the burning insect.

Ye Guyi and Xu Tianzhen looked at Liuxing and Liuying curiously. It was the first time for them to see the two possessed by their martial spirits, and they were very curious about their martial spirits.

Although the two had never seen a mecha-type martial spirit, since Meteor and Firefly were born with full soul power, their martial spirits would definitely not be weak, because low-level martial spirits could not be born with full soul power, which was common sense.

As Liuxing expected, with his and Liuying's physical fitness, they could indeed withstand the thousand-year soul ring. When the burning insect's scorching soul power entered his body, Liuxing did feel a tingling sensation, as if he was scalded by boiling water.

But that was all. He quickly adapted to the burning sensation and began to slowly absorb the soul power in the soul ring. As time went by, he seemed to feel the sound of something breaking.

He knew that was the sound of a bottleneck being broken, a level bottleneck that could only be broken by adding soul rings. As the bottleneck was broken, his soul power began to slowly increase, from level ten, eleven, twelve, until it reached level thirteen. Only then did he feel his whole body lighten, and he felt refreshed and invigorated.

The impact of the burning insect soul power on his body had been greatly weakened when he broke through the bottleneck. After he increased his level, he no longer felt any pain, only the pleasure of improved cultivation.

Looking at the pale purple soul rings on Liuxing and Liuying's bodies, Luanyu, Ye Guyi and Xu Tianzhen also felt relieved. The most difficult moment had passed, and the two had obviously absorbed it successfully.

However, what puzzled them was that Liuxing and Liuying still had not gotten rid of their martial spirits and were still sitting cross-legged, lost in meditation.

"What's going on? Hasn't it been absorbed successfully?"

Ye Guyi was a little worried and looked at Luan Yu in confusion.

"Wait a little longer, it should be fine."

Luan Yu frowned. She was also confused! When other people absorbed spirit rings, didn't it end after they successfully absorbed them? Why didn't Liu Xing and Liu Ying wake up yet?

However, she didn't dare to wake them up rashly. It would be bad if something bad happened. She could only wait patiently. Besides, the two of them didn't look like they were in danger.

Xu Tianzhen and Ye Guyi both stared at the two people in front of them worriedly, fearing that something might go wrong.

At this time, the meteors and fireflies felt very magical. The two could feel that they seemed to have merged into one, and the life-sharing ceremony started again.
