Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 45 Fiery Monkey, Silver-haired Girl

In the outer safe zone, there are probably many people coming to hunt souls, and some roads have been vaguely formed.

These roads are densely packed, stretching like a spider web into the depths of the forest.

After passing through the safe zone, the group finally encountered several hundred-year-old soul beasts, which attacked them without saying a word.

In this era, although soul beasts have declined, they are still able to fight on par with humans.

There's absolutely no way we'll let those few hundred-year-old soul beasts who are courting death get away with it.

In just a moment, several bright yellow spirit rings lit up, and Ye Qiufeng and Ye Qiulei put away their spirit rings. "Hmph, a few blind fools, trying to cause us trouble!"

Of the four brothers, Ye Qiuyu, who had a rather gentle personality, pondered for a moment and said, "Don't be so arrogant. The Star Dou Great Forest is not home. If there is even a soul beast with a cultivation of more than 70,000 years, all four of us brothers will have a hard time dealing with it."

After warning Ye Qiufeng and Ye Qiulei, who were rather unconventional in personality, the group continued towards the mixed zone.

While the outer area is indeed vast, the probability of encountering a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is too low. Only the mixed area has the largest number of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and even the core area does not have as many types of soul beasts as the mixed area.

The group consisted of six people, with Ye Qiufeng and Ye Qiulei leading the way, and Ye Qiuyun and Ye Qiuyu bringing up the rear.

Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan were surrounded by four people, who looked like their four uncles were protecting their eldest nephew.

As dusk approached, the group arrived at the border between the outer area and the mixed area.

In the past, there was a buffer zone in this area where there were basically no soul beasts.

This time, however, things were quite different. A group of fiery monkeys with orange-red fur had taken over the area, and their three ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts were constantly hopping around in the outer and mixed zones.

Sure enough, Ye Ying and her group were spotted by the Fiery Monkeys as soon as they arrived and were surrounded by them.

Ye Ying's expression changed slightly as she stood with Zhang Lexuan in the small circle formed by their four uncles.

The four brothers, Wind, Cloud, Rain, and Thunder, also summoned their martial souls at the same time, all of them wielding the same Moon Soul Bow, though their cultivation levels differed.

"Boss, Xiao Lei, you two protect our nephew. Qiu Yu, you come with me!"

Both Ye Qiufeng and Ye Qiulei are six-ring Soul Emperors, with Ye Qiufeng at level 68 and Ye Qiulei at level 67.

Ye Qiuyun and Ye Qiuyu, who took the initiative, were much stronger than the two of them, both being level 75 Soul Saints.

The leader of the Fire Monkeys is nearly three meters tall, and his distinctive golden-red fur makes him stand out in the Fire Monkey clan.

Just in case, Ye Ying immediately used her Detective Eye to investigate.

Species: Fire Monkey (Mutant)

Race: Soul Beast; Cultivation: 29400 years; Overview: Due to mutation, its ability to control fire has been enhanced, and its fire attribute is close to the so-called ultimate fire.

Having clearly seen the information about the mutated Fire Monkey leader, Ye Ying understood and promptly reminded Ye Qiuyun and Ye Qiuyu, "Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, be careful of that mutated Fire Monkey's flames!"

Ye Qiuyun's expression hardened. Not being skilled in close combat, he whispered to Ye Qiuyu, "Qiuyu, leave this mutated one to me. You take care of the rest as soon as possible."

Although Ye Qiuyu was rather calm and even taciturn, after nodding to his second brother, he immediately went into killing mode.

Using his family's inherited soul skill, Split Light and Shadow, a series of arrows, like a curtain of rain, instantly killed many Fiery Monkeys that were hundreds or even thousands of years old.

Ye Qiuyu's large-scale massacre naturally enraged the mutated Fiery Monkey leader, whose furious roar seemed to want to tear Ye Qiuyu to pieces.

But Ye Qiuyun, also a Soul Saint, had been waiting for it all along. "Fifth Soul Skill: Troll Arrow!"

The silver arrow instantly grew larger in the wind, transforming from a mere one meter long to three meters, resembling a javelin, and hurtled fiercely towards the mutated Fire Monkey.

The mutated Fire Monkey was extremely agitated, desperately trying to block Ye Qiuyun's Troll Arrow.

The arrow pierced through the arm of the Fire Monkey, which had been putting up a defensive stance. The soul power arrow dissipated, and blood flowed freely from the Fire Monkey's arm.

"Gah!"

This time, the already short-tempered Fire Monkey was completely enraged and ran towards Ye Qiuyun without regard for anything else.

Ye Qiuyun's cold eyes flashed, and she quickly retreated to stand in front of Ye Ying and the others.

Ye Qiufeng and Ye Qiulei drew their bows and nocked arrows in perfect unison, unleashing their sixth soul skill—Erosion Arrow (Kuai Thunder Arrow!).

The two men, one on each side, struck the mutated fire monkey directly with arrows carrying corrosive winds and lightning. As the mutated fire monkey let out its last whimper, its black spirit ring lit up.

"It's all resolved!"

Ye Qiuyu approached the group with a blank expression. When they looked around again, they discovered that there were yellow and purple spirit rings everywhere, with three black spirit rings mixed in.

Upon seeing these spirit rings, Ye Ying felt a pang of heartache. If he were a level six spirit master now, he would have been able to store them away.

Even if the Ye family can't use them, they can still sell them!

After everyone cleaned up the corpses of the Fiery Monkeys around them, it was already late, so they had no choice but to spend the night in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although this area is located at the boundary between the outer perimeter and the mixed zone, it is generally considered to be part of the outer perimeter.

So Ye Ying and the others lit a fire, heated up their dry rations, and then prepared to rest.

To take care of Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan, the two of them were on night watch for the first round. Ye Qiulei smiled and handed Ye Ying the simply treated mutated fire monkey pelt, "Nephew, this was treated for you by your fifth uncle. You can have someone make a cloud-shaped shoulder piece for you later."

As he spoke, Ye Qiulei gestured to Zhang Lexuan next to Ye Ying and immediately revealed a mischievous smile.

Before Ye Ying could say anything, Ye Qiulei had already run away.

With her fair, delicate hands gently stroking the fur, Zhang Lexuan's pretty face revealed a gentle smile. "Brother Ying, please accept it. It's really quite good."

As the two kept watch in a somewhat cozy atmosphere, a tall figure appeared just a few hundred meters away.

Her long silver hair swayed in the breeze, her skin was as white as snow, and her silver-purple eyes revealed anger and disappointment.

Behind her stood a burly, handsome man with a wisp of gold in his black hair.

"My lord, are you sure he is the one you sensed?"

She gently bit her rosy, thin lips, murmuring to herself, "Why? How could such a powerful bloodline appear in a human body!"

She had just awakened from a long slumber, but she never expected that the bloodline possessor who had awakened her was a human she hated so much!

"My lord, you should hurry back; your injuries are the most critical issue!"

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She had followed her subordinates' advice and disappeared into the forest in an instant.
