Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

The light that shot out was too fast to be captured. Even Gu You's Purple Demon Eye could only vaguely see it; the gray shadow flashed and disappeared.

As the light vanished, Gu You was momentarily stunned. In the distance, a piercing cry suddenly rang out, and from the darkness, a creature entirely gray-black rose up.

Gu You saw that it was a lizard-like creature, its entire body was grayish-black, and it was covered with hook-shaped spikes. One of its eyes had been blinded. As it screamed, its body twisted a few times and then turned into a cloud of gray mist and dissipated. The gray mist flew straight into the abyss cave.

This was an abyssal creature. Gu You flashed forward, blocking Long Yuxue's path, his wings folding back as he retracted his battle armor. But he took out his Golden Dragon Spear.

"Be careful." Long Yuxue's cool voice rang in his ear.

"Don't worry!" Gu You pointed his golden dragon spear forward and strode forward.

These things were delicious tonics for him. Appetizers!

There seemed to be more types of abyssal creatures than he had imagined; he had never seen the kind he had seen before. But through his learning from Long Yuxue, he knew that it must be a kind of abyssal creature that was good at hiding itself, called a Devouring Lizard, which specialized in devouring the life energy of various creatures to live.

This is a large race of abyssal creatures, with powerful members, including those at the level of demons and ghouls, and numerous in number, varying greatly in strength. Their physical defenses are extremely strong; their only weakness is their eyes.

"Whoosh..." Just then, several figures darted towards them like lightning. They were several more guinea pigs, creatures that roamed in packs. The one in front was killed, and its companions naturally rushed forward.

With a flick of his wrist, Gu You unleashed a thousand spear beams that instantly filled the entire cave, enveloping all the Devouring Lizards within them.

Following a series of soft sounds, one after another, the Devouring Lizards were pierced through the bodies by the spear shadows generated by the Golden Dragon Spear. Because the speed was too fast, what could be seen was that after the Golden Dragon Spear pierced their bodies, it brought out streams of gray energy from the Devouring Lizards. However, these gray streams did not escape; instead, they were drawn into the Golden Dragon Spear and entered Gu You's body through the spear.

After being filtered by the Golden Dragon Spear, it was revealed to be pure energy.

Gu You narrowed his eyes; this feeling was too intoxicating. He felt like he couldn't quit.

Long Yuxue, holding her gun behind him, looked at his broad shoulders and his steady kill of the Devouring Lizard, and felt much more at ease. Even in real combat, he wasn't intimidated, clearly possessing considerable combat experience.

"Not bad!" Long Yuxue patted Gu You on the shoulder.

"These little monsters are nothing." Gu You chuckled, raising his hand to glance at his Blood God Ring. Killing three Devouring Lizards had given him thirty merit points. The Devouring Lizards clearly gave him more merit points than the Four-Clawed Bats.

Gu You continued forward, with lizards constantly attacking him, but each kill converting into merit points and energy. After traversing a passage approximately 500 meters long, Gu You, leading the way, had killed about forty lizards and amassed several hundred merit points. This could be considered his first pot of gold—enough to truly earn him a military rank.

Long Yuxue followed behind him, observing with growing astonishment. Gu You's combat prowess against the Devouring Lizard was remarkably consistent. Moreover, he never struck the lizard's vital eye, but rather its head. The lizard's head was incredibly hard, comparable to alloy, yet it was as easy to penetrate tofu before the Golden Dragon Spear, offering absolutely no resistance.

What metal was his weapon made of? She'd like to ask him to make one for her sometime.

If Gu You could hear this, it would be the most absurd request he had ever heard. The Golden Dragon Spear was made from a vertebra of the Golden Dragon King; the material itself is already extremely rare.

Long Yuxue gradually relaxed, and the two of them arrived at the second node of the passage.

Compared to the previous node, this node is larger, with a cave about fifty meters in diameter, and the surrounding spatial energy is extremely strong.

As soon as he reached the entrance, Gu You saw a pair of gray-white eyes filled with a sense of death.

It was a massive lizard, more than ten times larger than the previous one, over seven meters long, its entire body covered in thick gray scales. With each breath, these gray scales repeatedly opened and closed, releasing a faint gray aura from beneath them.

"Be careful, this is a much larger Devouring Lizard of a higher level. The mist it exhales can transform into mist or armor, it can change in countless ways. Try to stay away from it," Long Yuxue warned in a deep voice.

Gu You flashed forward, his golden dragon spear pointing forward. At the same time, his purple-gold dragon armor was released, dragon scales covering his entire body, and his hands transformed into dragon claws. His eyes gleamed with purple light.

A terrifying aura of destruction began to envelop everything.

Sensing the familiar yet despairing aura in the air, Long Yuxue was stunned. Gu You's martial soul was of the destruction attribute? But why could she indirectly sense the light and life attributes before?

It seems he still has many secrets...

Long Yuxue shook her head bitterly.

It's best not to think about things that aren't worth thinking about...

The giant lizard let out a low growl, and the mist spewing from beneath its scales suddenly became thicker. This mist surged forward rapidly, and just as Gu You's golden dragon spear was about to pierce through, the mist suddenly solidified, perfectly enveloping the golden dragon spear.

Just then, with a deafening roar, the giant lizard roared, and half of the surrounding fog instantly dissipated. Its massive body was also thrown into the air.

Even without reading the ancient tales, it's clear that Long Yuxue achieved victory with a single shot. Close-range blocking and long-range attacks—this is the standard combat pattern in the military.

Gu You raised the Golden Dragon Spear in his left hand and flicked it. Golden light shot down, blasting away the gray mist. The golden light flashed, and the Golden Dragon Spear had already pierced the head of the Devouring Lizard.

Instantly, a much denser energy than that used to kill ordinary lizards entered his body, and the lizard also became ethereal, but the gray aura could no longer be seen disappearing.

Long Yuxue came to his side at this moment, "Be careful, don't be reckless. Abyssal creatures cannot be judged by common sense. Sometimes, opponents that seem weak to us can cause a lot of trouble."

"Hmm." Gu You nodded. "But you don't need to rush into action. It's not too late to act when you're sure I'm in danger."

Long Yuxue snorted, "You don't know what's good for you."

Gu You chuckled. Women! How could he not see through them… (End of Chapter)
