Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's naivety, I tricked her into becoming my wife.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Viya grabbed Oscar's shoulder.

Oscar turned his head and frowned. "You're joining in the fun too?"

“That’s right,” Viya said, hands on her hips, “If I don’t keep an eye on you, you’ll definitely act impulsively!”

"Last time you got lost in the snowstorm, if it weren't for good luck, you would have been lying dead in some snow pit by now!"

Shuiyue'er also raised her hand, "Then I'll go too! If my sister goes, I'll go too!"

Shui Bing'er raised her hand to tap her, but thinking of her clingy sister, she knew she couldn't stop her.

Ye Hua shook his head slightly as he watched them leave.

He instructed Tie Xiong to arrange for people to keep a close watch on the situation.

Viya was afraid that Oscar would get stubborn and she wouldn't be able to pull him away, so she called on Haote and his Soul Hunting Team.

The night was thick, and the edges of the pit looked even more menacing than during the day.

When Oscar and his companions arrived, the ice bear on watch growled at them to confirm their identities before lying back down in the snow.

Under the moonlight, the pit was bottomless, like a hole that had been gouged out of the earth.

Oscar crouched at the edge, brushing away the snow with his gloves to reveal the gray rock beneath.

He bent down to examine it closely, his gaze slowly moving down the pit wall.

“Look here.”

Shui Bing'er leaned closer and looked in the direction he was pointing.

The pit walls were not smooth, but covered with jagged, protruding rock ridges.

The buildings are staggered and continuous, with a foothold every few feet.

"The infected soul beasts probably climbed up from there!"

Shui Bing'er's expression hardened slightly. "That's right. If they force their way up, we'll be under considerable defensive pressure!"

Oscar nodded, took out paper and pen, and quickly sketched.

"I marked several areas with dense protrusions and will give them to Teacher Ye later so that we can add more manpower to the corresponding locations."

Viya used a rope to hang a torch to light his way. Although the light was extremely dim, fortunately, the Soul Master's eyesight was extraordinary.

Shuiyue'er, on the other hand, squatted curiously a short distance away, looking at the pale purple crystals.

"It's so beautiful, and it even glows!"

"Moon," Shui Bing'er pulled her sister back, "Don't touch it, who knows what it is!"

"Okay." Shuiyue'er nodded obediently.

But at that moment, Shui Bing'er noticed that powder was floating out of the crystal surface.

Fluorescent blue powder swirled and scattered in the night, drifting and falling onto the snow like scattered stardust.

"Wow!" Shuiyue'er's eyes lit up. "Sister, look! So beautiful!"

Shui Bing'er frowned, staring intently at the powder. "Step back!"

She always had a gut feeling that there was something fishy about this powder!

Shuiyue'er was startled by her sister's shout.

The scattered specks floated slowly on the snow.

As if it were alive, it hovered and swirled in the air.

Shui Bing'er proceeded cautiously, diverting some of her soul power to probe.

But as soon as it touched the powder, it disappeared without a trace, failing to elicit any reaction.

Viya, who was watching from the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief. "Sister Bing'er, you were too nervous."

"It's probably just dust from the weathering of the ore, nothing serious."

Is it really nothing...?

Shui Bing'er was suspicious.

But with the exploration mission complete and dawn breaking, it was indeed time to return.

"Phew," Shui Bing'er exhaled a puff of white air, "Perhaps I'm just overthinking it."

“That’s right,” the member of the Soul Hunter Group chuckled. “Girl, you’re just too sensitive.”

"If there's something wrong with this crystal, why didn't it break during the fierce battle in the daytime?"

"Now that the defenses are in place and the troops are resting, even if he causes trouble again, there will be people to watch out for him!"

“That’s true.” Shui Bing’er’s brows relaxed.

She shook her head, turned around, and returned with the main group.

But before they had taken two steps, the fluorescent powder that had been slowly dissipating suddenly increased dramatically!

Large swaths of fluorescent blue light mist exploded from the crystal surface, enveloping an area of ​​ten feet in radius!

"retreat!!!"

Haote was the strongest and reacted the fastest. He pulled the last few people over, and the powder just covered them.

"Everyone be careful!" Oscar grabbed his three-eyed ice-fire gun and fired!

Rumble!

"what!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream emanated from the powder, sending chills down one's spine!

Shui Bing'er's pupils trembled. She grabbed Shui Yue'er by the back of her collar and suddenly fell to the side!

The two rolled out on the snow, kicking up a large cloud of snow.

Almost the instant they left, a dark shadow descended from the sky!

The blood-stained hammer slammed down on the spot, sending rubble and frozen earth flying everywhere!

Haote immediately retaliated, and almost at the same time the shadowy figure landed, his martial spirit had already possessed him.

His right fist transformed into a bear's paw, slapping fiercely at the dark figure!

"what!"

when!

A hammer clashes with a bear's paw!

Haote's wrist went numb instantly!

Instead of retreating, he advanced, striking out with his left palm and smashing the dark figure to the ground.

"Ugh!!!" The dark figure slumped into the snow with a thud, finally revealing its true form.

His body was wrapped in grayish-white bandages, revealing charred burns underneath.

Their faces were blurred, only two dark green slits in their eye sockets could be seen, coldly watching them.

Before everyone could recover from the scene, the fluorescent powder flying everywhere suddenly lit up!

The light was so bright that it was impossible to open one's eyes!

Immediately afterwards, countless identical figures emerged from the light mist beside the crystal cluster!

"Teleportation!" Oscar's expression changed drastically, and he already had the Three-Eyed Icefire Gun in his hand. "These powders are the teleportation medium!"

Before the words were even finished, the monsters all turned to them.

A quick scan revealed no fewer than forty!

Shui Bing'er shielded her younger sister behind her, and her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul had already appeared.

But when she sensed the fluctuation in the aura, her heart sank.

The aura of these monsters is no weaker than that of a Soul Emperor!

Haote stepped forward, crossing his fists in front of him to block.

"Go back and report this; I'll handle things here."

"Uncle, you can't hold them off by yourself!" Viya said anxiously.

Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant, let alone these creatures whose origins are unknown and very strange!

"Viya, you go first!"

"Moon, go and deliver the message!"

Oscar and Shui Bing'er spoke in unison.

Seeing that the two were determined, Viya and Shuiyue'er had no choice but to inform them first.

The others, including members of the Soul Hunter Group, stood in front, blocking the monster's path.

"Hiss!" A strange hiss came from the monster's throat.

Everyone was on high alert and prepared to make a move.
