Douluo Continent: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 22 Crimson Flame Ape

Everyone turned and looked warily at the source of the sound.

The leaves in front of them began to vibrate violently and abnormally, breaking the peaceful atmosphere.

Xie Yue turned to look at everyone, pointed at Song Liyang with a serious expression, and then waved his hand.

Song Liyang strode forward, a yellow soul ring appearing around his body. Then, a shield appeared in his hand, but unlike ordinary shields, his shield was made entirely of rock.

This is his martial soul, the Rock Shield. As a defensive-type soul master, Song Liyang's martial soul, while not top-tier, is only slightly lacking.

He held a rock shield in front of everyone, a tactic that had been agreed upon from the beginning, with Song Liyang in charge of defense and dealing with any unexpected situations.

Xie Yue and Shen Qingqing, both powerful offensive Soul Masters, followed closely behind.

Hu Liena and Ye Jingqiu were on either side, while Lu Si'en, a support-type Soul Master, was surrounded in the middle, and Yan, a power-attack-type Soul Master, was at the back of the group.

This positioning is impeccable. Shen Qingqing, as an agility-type Soul Master, is poised to strike at any moment and can provide support for the entire situation.

Yan could ensure the safety of those behind them at the end. Ye Jingqiu and Hu Liena were positioned on the left and right sides, respectively. Ye Jingqiu was responsible for the front half, and Hu Liena was responsible for the back half, ensuring that the two of them could control the entire situation at any time.

While being protected by everyone, Lu Si'en, who was in the middle, also had to assist everyone at any time.

Shuang Zuozuo and Shuang Youyou exchanged a glance, then one of them went to the front of the team and stood next to Song Liyang, while the other walked up to Yan.

Birdsong echoed in the tranquil air. Unsure of their opponent's strength, the group decided to wait for an opportunity to strike, as taking the initiative under these circumstances would be far too passive.

Just then, a huge figure leaped up from the bushes; it was a giant chimpanzee.

When it landed, the ground shook. A pair of black eyes fell on the group. There was blood around its mouth. Ye Jingqiu had seen the scene in the bushes when the gorilla jumped up.

There was the remains of a sheep inside; the gorilla was probably eating when they suddenly appeared and disturbed it.

"It's the Crimson Flame Ape!" Shuang Zuozuo exclaimed.

Standing at the back of the line, Shuang Youyou spoke excitedly, "Sister, the Crimson Flame Ape is perfect as your second spirit ring."

Lu Si'en's gaze fell on the Crimson Flame Ape, and he said, "Judging from the height of this Crimson Flame Ape's forehead, it is a soul beast between six hundred and six hundred and fifty years old."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yue looked at Shuang Zuozuo and asked, "What do you think of this soul beast?"

"Okay," Shuang Zuozuo said.

As the shout fell, everyone began to release their martial spirits. Xie Yue's martial spirit was the Moon Blade, and two curved blades resembling crescent moons appeared in his hands.

Yan's martial soul is the Flame Lord, and his body instantly bursts into flames.

A large, fluffy tail appeared behind Hu Liena; her martial spirit was a fox.

When Shen Qingqing released her martial spirit, a shadow suddenly appeared on the ground. Unlike Shen Qingqing's figure, this shadow was the same height as Shen Qingqing, but at most five centimeters wide.

Ye Jingqiu's gaze fell on Lu Si'en beside her. This was the first time she had seen Lu Si'en's martial soul, the chains.

The silver chain was exquisitely crafted, with each section crystal clear. Ye Jingqiu could clearly see that it consisted of eleven silver rings.

The difference is that the eleventh ring of the chain is yellow, and the chain in Lu Si'en's hand is not held in his hand, but floating in the middle of his palm.

At that moment, Ye Jingqiu released her martial spirit, and the Soul-Capturing Bell appeared in her palm.

Hu Liena was right in front of the two of them. She was also very curious about Lu Sien's martial soul. Her gaze had been fixed on Lu Sien's hand since the beginning of the session.

Hu Liena glanced at the Soul-Capturing Bell and then at the chains, frowning. "Your martial souls are so similar!"

The same silver, the same yellow.

As Hu Liena finished speaking, Song Liyang turned around and looked over as well. "I must say, your martial souls really do look somewhat alike."

Xie Yue frowned as he looked at Song Liyang. "The soul beast is still ahead."

Song Liyang then realized that they were in a life-or-death situation. He smiled apologetically at everyone, then turned to face the Crimson Flame Ape with a serious expression.

Ye Jingqiu looked at Lu Si'en, and their eyes met. Lu Si'en's silver eyes were incredibly clear, and it seemed that only her image was reflected in them.

Ye Jingqiu was stunned. If she could say it was her imagination just now, she could clearly feel that her martial soul, the Soul-Capturing Bell, was vibrating violently, as if it was being attracted by Lu Si'en's martial soul.

She looked down and saw that Lu Si'en's martial spirit chains were vibrating even more violently than the Soul-Capturing Bell.

What's going on?

Ye Jingqiu looked at Lu Si'en in confusion, while Lu Si'en's eyes were filled with shock as he stared at the Soul-Capturing Bell.

The fact that the two martial souls, the chains and the Soul-Capturing Bell, attracted each other was not surprising to Lu Si'en. What shocked him was the golden pattern around the Soul-Capturing Bell and the golden chains on it.

That is a symbol of...

Each step the Crimson Flame Ape took was accompanied by the trembling of the soil, and a red light flashed in its eyes.

Lu Si'en shouted, "Watch out—"

Song Liyang's spirit rings lit up, and his first spirit skill, Rock Barrier, appeared. A layer of spikes made of rocks appeared on his rock shield, and he raised the rock shield high.

The next moment, flames spewed from the mouth of the Crimson Flame Ape, which was blocked by Song Liyang's rock shield. He chuckled, "Sorry, my shield is fire immune."

Perhaps Song Liyang's tone was too irritating, because the Crimson Flame Ape was clearly annoyed. It patted its chest forcefully and then ran towards Song Liyang.

Lu Si'en's spirit rings lit up, and his first spirit skill, Worry-Free, instantly wrapped silver chains around Ye Jingqiu's waist. "Now I can only support one person."

The moment he was entangled, Ye Jingqiu felt his whole body brimming with power.

"My first soul skill can increase the soul power of the person being assisted by 30%."

"Thirty percent!?" Song Liyang exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Jingqiu's soul rings lit up, and he activated his first soul skill, Soul-Capturing Bell Impact. As the Soul-Capturing Bell rang out, the Crimson Flame Ape's movements noticeably slowed down.

Shen Qingqing moved instantly, using her first soul skill, Shadow, and the shadow beneath her moved along with her.

Shen Qingqing was incredibly fast; her body and shadow formed a circle, circling the Crimson Flame Ape at such a speed that only a blurry image could be seen.

The Crimson Flame Ape reached out to grab Shen Qingqing, but missed every time it tried, failing to even touch the hem of her clothes.

Xie Yue rushed forward, his first spirit ring lit up, and his first spirit skill, Slash, appeared.

Immediately, the arm that the Crimson Flame Ape had raised fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

Xie Yue shouted, "Hurry up, Shuang Zuo Zuo!"
