Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 321 The Method to Leave the Golden Tree

"Captain, can you defeat a mech?" Yu Tianheng stared intently at Tang San with anticipation, hoping he would say yes, otherwise they might have to live in this golden ancient tree for the rest of their lives.

Although the cultivation environment here is excellent, without food reserves, they will starve to death in a long time, and this ancient golden tree doesn't seem to bear fruit.

That's tragic.

"We can't beat them."

In reality, if it really came down to a fight, we could still put up a fight, but now that I have three heads and six arms, my "greed, anger and ignorance" are extremely unpredictable. In the midst of the battle, I cannot maintain a calm state of mind, nor can I use "greed, anger and ignorance" to absorb my various negative emotions in order to remain rational.

He must cultivate his character for a period of time in order to slowly study the root causes of the three evils.

"That's troublesome." Dugu Yan frowned. "These things can't be corroded with poison either. My poison, once it touches them, is just like Tianheng's lightning—it's converted into soul power and absorbed."

The venom of the Azure Serpent King can also be converted using soul power. For the mechs left behind by the Golden Civilization, it can naturally be converted into soul power, or other types of energy.

If Dugu Yan's poison skills, built upon the foundation of the cinnabar pearl, are as profound as Dugu Bo's, then snake venom might indeed materialize.

The Golden Civilization must have also researched the materialization of martial spirits, but those mechs were already in "energy-saving mode," so their efficiency was low... It's just that Dugu Yan's current strength is insufficient to do so.

"Shall we go find some branches and leaves from the Golden Ancient Tree?" Yu Tianheng suggested. "The trunks here seem to be very hard; even my dragon claws couldn't tear off a small piece."

"This method also has a problem. This is the core area of ​​the Infinite Desert, and there is a layer of storms blocking the way. Even if we break through and enter the deep areas of the Infinite Desert, we will encounter many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, or even one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts." Tang San shook his head. "Although I know that there are many underground passages leading directly to the outside world under the lakes on the edge of this island, they should all be filled with water by now."

The last time Tang San was able to bring Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, Huo Wu, and Huo Feng through the underground passage, it was because of the impact of the water flow. But now, the water there doesn't flow.

If they were to use those passages, they would have to swim nearly 10,000 miles, and they wouldn't be able to breathe during that time.

Tang San clearly doesn't currently possess the ability to breathe underwater... wait—

"Na'er, can you breathe underwater?" Tang San suddenly remembered that they had a "master" here who could control the water element.

"Sure, but it's such a long journey, I'll have to use all my strength." Gu Yuena emphasized "all my strength," implying to Tang San that she didn't want to reveal her identity.

She was not only worried that Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan would discover her identity as a "soul beast," but also afraid that the gods would notice the god-level aura of Douluo Star and come to investigate.

She is not ready to face the gods of the divine realm yet—even in her prime, she couldn't defeat Shura, let alone now that her physical injuries haven't healed.

"Is that so? Then let's forget about it." Tang San also realized that Gu Yuena couldn't use her full strength, so he said to Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, "She can't use her hidden power right now, or she'll attract even more troublesome beings. But there's no need to worry. Maybe we can go back the way we came... Na'er and I have collected some soul tools on the upper floors. Maybe we can find some that can travel underwater."

Immediately, everyone took out all the soul tools they had collected and began to try them out one by one.

Although there were relevant instructions where the soul tools were originally placed, in order to collect them quickly, everyone just stuffed them into their storage soul tools without looking at them carefully. Now that all these soul tools are piled up together, they can only be tested slowly.

Fortunately, Tang San was able to determine the main function of the soul tool based on its appearance, which helped him speed things up.

Three hours later, Gu Yuena found a soul tool the size of a palm. It looked like a small boat, but there were three oars on each side that resembled fish fins, and a transparent crystal blue cover protected the top of the boat.

"I remember, the description of this soul tool is: Ocean Fish Boat. It is made in imitation of the shape and some physiological structure of the Ocean Fish. Underwater, it can travel three thousand miles a day." Gu Yuena's memory is very good. It can be said that she can remember everything she sees.

"Traveling three thousand miles a day! In just a few days, we can return along the same underground river!" Dugu Yan said excitedly.

"Then let's test it out." Tang San was a man of action, and he had also discovered other boat-shaped soul tools, one of which might be even faster.

They descended the spiral staircase, violently pulled open the elevator doors again, and filed in one after another.

"Huh? What's this?" Gu Yuena found a scroll, only the size of an index finger, in the bloodstains below the pipe... The middle-aged man had been torn to pieces, and the ground was covered in bloodstains. No one had bothered to investigate. Now that the bloodstains had dried a bit, things that hadn't been torn apart by the wind element had slipped out.

Gu Yuena manipulated the power of water elements to cleanse the bloodstains. She picked up the scroll, which was about the size of an index finger, and infused it with soul power. She found that it had become thicker and longer. When she pulled it to both sides, a three-dimensional topographical map appeared.

Dugu Yan touched it out of curiosity, only to find that it was just an illusion. Moreover, the area she touched was magnified, and its internal structure was clearly revealed.

"This should be a 3D holographic map." Tang San, with his experience, held the map with his Blue Silver Emperor and slid his hands across it continuously. He discovered that the entire map of the Infinite Desert was included, and it could also be precisely located based on the user.

How can precise positioning be achieved?

Tang San considered two possibilities:

Firstly, there may be a satellite launched by a golden civilization in space that can be precisely located.

Secondly, deep within the vast desert, there are numerous devices that interact with this map, enabling precise location tracking of the user—the object being tracked is this map, not the user.

Considering the underground passages in the endless desert, the second possibility is more likely.

The probability of the first possibility is extremely small.

After all, there are far more uncertainties in space than on Douluo Star itself, the target is more obvious, and the Golden Civilization will inevitably have to consider the Dragon God and the God Realm.

"With this map, can we say that we won't get lost in the endless desert anymore?" Yu Tianheng asked excitedly.

"Yes, for now. But the principle behind this thing should be similar to the Blue Silver Network I established in Wuhun City." Tang San nodded. "This thing should just be a sensing device. It will fail if any major changes occur in the Infinite Desert, but for us now, it can indeed detect the terrain of the Infinite Desert quite clearly."

After scrolling through the holographic map for a while, Tang San returned it to Gu Yuena and said, "Currently, there are many routes out of the core area, but the safest one is still through that underground river..."
