Douluo Continent: Contract with Gu Yuena, Start by Slaying Tang Shenwang

The two had landed deep in the mountains, and it would take some time to get out.

As night fell, the two were still in the mountains and forests.

"This forest is quite large, but I haven't seen any spirit beasts. That's strange."

At night, Gu Yuena sat beside Bai Xuan, and muttered something strange as she fiddled with the flames.

This forest has dense vegetation and a suitable climate, so there should be many soul beasts living here.

However, they haven't encountered a single soul beast along the way, which is somewhat abnormal.

"What do you think might have caused this?"

Bai Xuan asked casually.

The other party clearly knew more about soul beasts than he did, and he had some guesses in his mind, which he needed to confirm with Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena slowed down her movements as she fiddled with the flames, and began to seriously consider the problem.

The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. He whispered, "There aren't many possible reasons. Either there were originally soul beasts here, but they were all hunted down by humans."

"Either the environment here is special in some way, causing soul beasts to keep their distance and dare not live here."

"Or perhaps we're just unlucky and haven't encountered any soul beasts yet, but that's the least likely scenario."

As Gu Yuena spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Bai Xuan and couldn't help but ask:

"Have you sensed something unusual about the environment here?"

She tried to sense it, but because she had lost all her cultivation, her perception was limited and she found nothing.

Although Bai Xuan isn't strong right now, he has many methods, and he might just make a discovery.

Bai Xuan didn't deny it, looked around, and said softly:

"There is a kind of energy field here that silently absorbs the essence of living beings. Over time, naturally no soul beasts will be able to survive here."

"Plants aren't affected much; this energy field only targets animals or humans."

"I wonder which god set up this energy field; their methods are so ruthless."

Gu Yuena was somewhat angry. This method was undeniably cruel, resulting in the absence of any soul beasts in the vast forest.

Only gods can influence an entire forest; a Soul Master could never do that.

Thinking of this, she immediately stood up and said somewhat anxiously:

"Let's hurry up and get out of here as soon as possible to avoid running into big trouble."

"We are very vulnerable now; facing the gods would be a certain death."

Bai Xuan didn't respond, but looked thoughtful, his gaze occasionally falling on Gu Yuena, as if confirming something.

"You're so calm, do you have some kind of strategy to deal with this?"

Seeing that Bai Xuan was very calm, Gu Yuena felt inexplicably relieved.

If he's not worried, why should I be?

Even though they hadn't known each other for very long, she still had a kind of blind trust in Bai Xuan.

The main reason was that his killing of Tang San, who was possessed by two gods, despite his own illness, was too shocking for her, and she couldn't help but admire him.

"There might be something here that relates to you."

"Now I understand why I chose this as my landing point when I was moving."

"My intuitive judgment of good or bad fortune led me to choose this place."

Bai Xuan said that his choice to land in this forest was not entirely random.

Instead, in that split second, he used his intuition to deduce and chose the most advantageous place to land.

Having landed here, it now seems not only to be safe, but also to have gained opportunities and good fortune.

"Things related to me?"

Gu Yuena was taken aback, and after sensing carefully again, she still couldn't find anything.

Give me your hand.

Bai Xuan didn't explain much to her, but simply extended his hand and said...

Gu Yuena obediently offered her hand; it was warm to the touch, and her hand was quite easy to hold.

"What am I thinking?" Gu Yuena thought to herself, annoyed. Why did she subconsciously think of this?

what--

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his hand. When he looked up, he saw that Bai Xuan was holding a small shard of a sharp blade, which had just grazed his palm, causing nine-colored blood to seep out.

What are you doing?

Gu Yuena said with a hint of grievance, staring at Bai Xuan with a resentful look in her eyes.

Even if you need to take your own blood, you should at least say so. It's so sudden and painful.

The blade Bai Xuan used was no ordinary weapon; it came from the Asura Divine Sword.

This top-tier divine artifact belonging to the God of Asura was severely damaged in the previous battle, with fragments falling off, which Bai Xuan picked up along the way. This is one of them.

The fragments, which looked no bigger than a fingernail, could break through not only Gu Yuena's hand, but even the defenses of an ordinary god. This is the power of a super artifact; even fragments possess immense power.

Bai Xuan ignored Gu Yuena's aggrieved expression.

He pressed his palm against her bleeding hand and chanted a spell.

Gu Yuena didn't understand, but she thought it was very profound.

Soon she saw some kind of array pattern light up in her palm, complex and obscure.

After a while, the light in his palm condensed into lines that floated out and extended in a certain direction.

"Walk."

Bai Xuan gestured for Gu Yuena to follow the line, as if he were tracking something.

Gu Yuena was amazed; they really had a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

"I'm determined to squeeze as much as I can out of him, since he's the one who bullied me like this."

Gu Yuena thought to herself that if she regarded Bai Xuan as a gold mine and explored it carefully, she would surely reap endless benefits.

The two quickened their pace and walked for several hours until they reached a mountain stream. There was no road ahead, only a small waterfall in sight, and the thread in their hands pointed into the waterfall.

"This seems to be the aura of the Dragon God."

Only after arriving here did Gu Yuena realize what was happening, and her expression changed slightly.

I was both surprised and delighted; I never expected to find something related to the Dragon God again.

Anything related to the dragon god is bound to be extraordinary.

"Can you sense what it is?" Bai Xuan asked.

He didn't know much about this dragon god.

"I can't sense it yet, but one thing is certain: we won't be in danger once we go in, because I am half a dragon god."

Gu Yuena smiled easily, expressing her confidence in the matter.

"You follow me." She walked ahead instead.

Bai Xuan followed him to the bottom of the waterfall.

"I'll hold you for a bit, and you're not allowed to ride me."

Gu Yuena declared, looking at the middle of the waterfall, where the entrance was twenty or thirty meters above the ground, making it difficult to climb up; the only way was to fly.

Bai Xuan nodded.

Gu Yuena transformed into her true form, lifted off the ground, and had Bai Xuan grab her dragon claw to fly upwards, easily entering the waterfall.

As soon as I entered and stood still, I saw a flash of light ahead, and a creature charged towards me.

It carried a powerful aura, clearly indicating that it was a soul beast of the 100,000-year level.

This is an invincible force for Bai Xuan and Gu Yuena right now.

Roar--

Gu Yuena, however, was not afraid. With a low roar, she revealed the might of the Silver Dragon King.

The charging creature jolted violently, abruptly stopping and staring at the Silver Dragon King with suspicion, as if trying to confirm something.

Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast would be intimidated by the Silver Dragon King, who had no cultivation, and would not dare to disobey him. This is the insurmountable bloodline suppression among soul beasts.

It was dark inside, and Gu Yuena had to flick a flame in her hand to light it before she could see what the creature looked like.

It is a rat-like spirit beast with a body size comparable to a tiger, and its fur is colorful, making it look quite noble.

The skin beneath the hair looks like it's made up of pieces of gemstones pieced together.

It also has two soft, gem-like tentacles on its head, swaying back and forth.

"A rat with the bloodline of a treasure-hunting beast?"

After seeing its appearance clearly, Gu Yuena immediately thought of the treasure-hunting beast beside the Dragon God.

This rat has many characteristics of a treasure hunter, and its aura is also very similar.

It is highly likely to be a descendant of the treasure-hunting beast.
