Douluo Continent: Starting from Leading Ferocious Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 22: The Operation Begins

The Chosen One is currently bewildered by the incredible power-up, and the reconnaissance team has already assembled.

This is a team of all titled Douluo, about to delve into the secrets of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Jing Hongchen, what do you mean by this!"

As Xuanzi emerged from Shrek City, he saw a level nine soul master outside the city pull out two level nine soul cannonballs from his storage soul tool, aiming them directly at the prosperous Shrek City.

"Soul tools all need maintenance, and with such a nice day, it would be a shame not to take them out and air them out."

Jing Hongchen casually made up an excuse, after all, not many people here liked Shrek Academy. Du Busi chuckled and wondered when he could get a few from the Sun Moon Empire to play with.

"Are you looking for death?!"

As they drew closer, the group felt the terrifying energy emanating from the level-nine soul-guided cannonballs more clearly. They wondered if they could survive the explosion. Xuanzi, of course, would not allow these two cannonballs to threaten Shrek Academy.

"No, no, my grandchildren are there too. I can't let them die as well."

Jing Hongchen spread his hands, looking completely innocent.

The major empires had secretly discussed whether they could secretly eliminate the remaining level nine soul master, whose soul tool could greatly supplement the soul tool system of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Looking at those two "mushroom eggs" below now, I'm glad I didn't make a decision back then.

It would be ridiculous if they killed a level nine Soul Master and caused Shrek Academy to be destroyed, leading to their individual struggles and eventual annihilation by the Sun Moon Empire.

Xuanzi's face darkened, but he was persuaded to stop by Xianlin'er behind him. He could only say fiercely, "Maybe you're ruthless enough to let them die willingly." Then he increased his flying speed and headed straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.

The other titled Douluo also had to increase their speed and try to maintain formation.

Jing Hongchen and another level-nine soul master exchanged a smile, shrugged, and increased the soul power input into the flying soul tool.

The group, which was only temporarily united, flew in silence towards the golden pillar.

They flew until they had just entered the mixed zone before stopping and choosing to proceed from the ground.

According to intelligence, this place has begun to have a large number of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. If they are still flying at high altitudes, they may be entangled by flying soul beasts and then surrounded by ground soul beasts, which could result in the death of several titled Douluo.

Despite Xuanzi's disdain and the strong demands of several Imperial Title Douluos, they eventually made a slow advance from the ground.

All of them were titled Douluo, so they were quite skilled at concealing their auras, and almost no ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts noticed them along the way.

When a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast charged directly at it, it was captured by eleven titled Douluo working together. This was the highlight of its life, as it simultaneously faced eleven titled Douluo, each equivalent to a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast.

"So far, we haven't discovered anything unusual about the Star Dou Great Forest. It seems we still have to go to the core area to face those ferocious beasts."

Xian Lin'er frowned slightly. At this moment, her black hair was neatly tied up, and she was wearing a white shirt and pants with gold trim, looking very dashing.

"If you ask me, just call in directly. Why make things so complicated and drag it out?"

Xuanzi looked impatient. He was an impatient person by nature and often acted rashly when faced with problems, so he couldn't stand such slow actions.

"Why don't you go in and scout ahead for us? Don't worry, we're all on the same level. I'll pay my respects to you every year."

Poison Undying raised an eyebrow, a mocking expression on his face. He was certain that he wouldn't laugh if Xuanzi went to his death willingly.

"wishful thinking."

Xuanzi retorted, and couldn't help but take out a wine gourd from his storage soul tool and gulp it down. Although he didn't like soul tools, he thought that a storage soul tool that could hold wine was still pretty good.

The Imperial Title Douluo standing to the side looked helpless and dared not speak. They were just ordinary Title Douluo, newbies who had just entered the realm. If they were really strong, why would they be sent to investigate? Faced with these big shots who were all of higher level than them, they could only tremble in fear.

Jing Hongchen ignored Xuanzi and Du Busi's commotion, and instead took out a strange device from his soul tool and placed it on the ground, and a screen appeared in his hand.

The titled figures were drawn to Jing Hongchen's actions. The original Douluo faction knew too little about the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools and wanted to know what Jing Hongchen was doing.

"This is a soul power detector, the latest research achievement of our Sun Moon Empire. It can help detect soul power fluctuations within a radius of five kilometers."

Jing Hongchen noticed the gazes of the crowd but didn't care. These soul tools all had self-destruct devices inside, and they were the kind of soul tools that were difficult to defend against even if you knew about them. After all, there weren't many people who could completely suppress their soul power fluctuations.

It is usually paired with the monitoring soul guides within the Empire, but because war is about to break out, a large amount of resources have been invested in the war effort, so it is only deployed in some secret areas.

Xuanzi's eyes lit up. If he had this, he wouldn't be afraid of being ambushed by soul beasts at all. If he had had one of these when he led the team, he wouldn't have been directly hit by the Beast King and only one person survived.

Seeing the soul tool in front of her, Xian Lin'er deeply felt the huge gap between Shrek Academy's soul tool technology and the Sun Moon Empire. It was not a gap of decades or hundreds of years, but a gap of hundreds of years and dozens of generations.

Simply making a display appear on the screen is not something Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department can do. The Soul Guidance Department only specializes in combat, and is more focused on assisting individual combat. It has almost no war support capabilities, let alone civilian applications.

Jing Hongchen didn't care about what others thought. Instead, he turned on the soul power detector to help detect the soul beasts' condition. After all, he himself wasn't confident that he could survive alone, so helping others was also helping himself.

The screen displays dots of light; the greater the detected soul power fluctuations, the larger the dots become.

"Is the density of soul beasts this high here?"

Jing Hongchen's expression was rather unpleasant. The screen was covered with countless points of light, almost completely enveloping the area.

Information processing technology has not yet been developed, so we can only make a rough classification.

Jing Hongchen then rotated a button next to the machine, and most of the light spots on the screen quickly disappeared, leaving only sparse light spots scattered on it. He then marked the display area as a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

"Someone come and take the machine with us, so we can provoke as few soul beasts as possible."

Jing Hongchen shook the screen in his hand. They couldn't just put in the effort; the other side had to do the hard work too.

Xuanzi stomped his right foot, and the ground began to vibrate. The machine, along with the soil beneath it, floated into the air.

"Let's go in quickly."

He was quite interested in this thing, letting the machine float beside him as he examined it closely.

Jing Hongchen didn't say much. He was still wary of this level 98 old bastard. He could just detonate it directly, since he still had another one.

······

"Master Lu, they're here."

The Demon King opened his eyes, and a wisp of flame flickered within his originally eerie eyes.

"Moreover, it seems to be two groups of people, the other group seems to be evil spirit masters."

Almost all the plant-type soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were his informants, so he naturally knew that there were also evil soul masters on the human side who often slaughtered soul beasts to improve their soul rings.

"Go forth, display the splendor of a demon!"

Lu Wu, lying peacefully on the back of the three-eyed golden lion, spoke to the group of demons.

The three-eyed golden lion slowly rose, its golden-red fur swaying gently in the breeze, like a burning flame.

Its orders were to find a good spot to watch its "uncles and aunts" defeat the humans.

After all, this was just a show in Lu Wu's eyes.
