Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 191 The Strange Things About Jingyang Mountain Range

"Do you think we can find a suitable soul beast for Yutong if we go into the mountains tomorrow?" Keke broke the silence and asked in a low voice.

Ju Zi sighed, "That's hard to say. The Jingyang Mountains are fraught with danger, and the soul beasts aren't easy to deal with. However, we must protect Yu Tong; she's like a younger sister to us."

Over time, she grew to like Huo Yutong, her junior schoolmate, more and more.

For some reason, the thought of Deng Mu and Huo Yutong's intimate behavior made her feel inexplicably irritated.

"Yes, I know," Keke replied, then paused and added, "But there's something strange about that beef soup. What if..."

"Stop overthinking," Orange interrupted her. "Let's not think about these things for now. Once we're in the mountains tomorrow, we need to be careful."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, then gradually felt sleepy and drifted off to sleep.

While the three were sleeping, a black vortex appeared in the sky above the Jingyang Mountains.

The vortex was as thick as ink, with strange air currents churning around its edges, constantly emitting a low hum, as if announcing to the world that some unknown crisis was about to descend.

Purple mist surged from the black vortex, and the mist seemed to have a life of its own, cascading down towards the Jingyang Mountains like a surging tide.

Wherever it passed, flowers, grass, and trees withered instantly, their vitality was frantically drained away, turning into a deathly silence.

Purple mist surged and churned, turning the entire Jingyang Mountain Range into a chaotic mess.

Deep within, a rock rhinoceros, originally with thick skin and a docile nature, was now enveloped in mist. Its body glowed with an eerie purple light, its once gentle eyes turned crimson, and it roared deafeningly to the sky. Its thick limbs pawed at the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

It swung its mountain-like body and charged forward recklessly, snapping trees in its path with a crackling sound.

At the edge of the mountain range, a nimble falcon that had been soaring through the sky was now shrouded in mist, its feathers shimmering with an eerie light like amethyst. Its cry was sharp and piercing, filled with endless rage.

It hovers rapidly in the air, its claws extending like sharp blades, and any bird that gets close will be instantly torn apart.

In the swampy area of ​​the Jingyang Mountains, the once calm swamp began to boil and surge under the cover of purple mist.

The giant tentacle monster, hidden deep in the swamp, was awakened by the mist. Its originally gray skin glowed with an eerie purple light, and countless sticky tentacles danced wildly, stirring up large swaths of black mud.

Wherever its tentacles reached, trees mired in the mud were easily crushed, producing dull cracking sounds, and the splashed mud carried a pungent, putrid stench that permeated the air.

In the valley, a group of gregarious monkeys were not spared either.

Originally lively and clever, they became restless and agitated under the influence of the fog.

Their fur stood on end, they bared their teeth, and attacked and tore at each other, their painful screams and angry roars echoing through the valley.

Monkey hair and bloodstains were scattered on the ground; the once harmonious monkey troop had now fallen into chaos and bloodshed.

……

The next day, the sunlight pierced through the clear air without obstruction and gently fell on the earth.

Huo Yutong slowly woke up, stretched lazily, and felt a little nostalgic for Deng Mu's embrace.

Orange and Coco also woke up one after another, rubbing their sleepy eyes.

The three quickly packed their belongings, ate breakfast, and headed to the Jingyang Mountains.

As they got closer to the Jingyang Mountains, the once vibrant forests became deathly silent, so still it was eerie.

Huo Yutong was the first to notice something was wrong, and frowned as she said, "Senior, Keke, something feels off."

Orange and Coco exchanged a glance, their expressions grave.

The three of them accelerated their flight and arrived at the edge of the Jingyang Mountains. The horrific scene before them made them gasp in horror.

The trees covering the mountains and fields were leaning and crooked, as if they had been trampled by giants. The ground was covered with dried blood and messy hair. The once lush vegetation was now just broken branches and withered leaves, a desolate wasteland.

"What on earth happened..." Keke covered her mouth, her eyes filled with terror.

Orange's expression was grave as she slowly said, "It seems a terrible disaster occurred here last night."

I couldn't help but feel fortunate that the place they stayed last night was far from the Jingyang Mountains, otherwise they might have gotten into trouble.

The three descended from the sky to the ground. Wherever soul beasts gathered, the airspace was almost always a forbidden zone.

Ju Zi took out the soul tool to be tested this time, and Huo Yutong looked at it curiously from the side.

The soul tool is a sphere with a diameter of about two meters, and there are three seats inside, one in front and two in the back.

The sphere is sealed as a whole, but it has windows separated by crystal on the front, back, left, and right, through which one can see outside.

"Senior, what's this?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Huo Yutong looked at the soul tool with a curious expression.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a soul tool, and she was quite curious about its purpose.

Seeing Huo Yutong's curious expression, Ju Zi chuckled and introduced, "Teacher Xuan gave it a name: All-Terrain Detection Soul Guidance Device..."

Upon hearing the introduction of the complete terrain detection soul tool, Huo Yutong showed a shocked expression.

She hadn't expected that Sun and Moon would have such a soul tool, and she thought it was quite useful.

If ordinary soldiers can operate such robots, then if the Sun Moon Empire launches another war against other countries, who can stop it?

"Let's go in." Orange walked to the all-terrain detection soul tool, grabbed the handrail next to it, and climbed inside.

Huo Yutong and Keke each entered the all-terrain detection soul tool.

After entering the all-terrain detection soul tool, Ju Zi explained to Huo Yutong how to drive it.

Meanwhile, Keke couldn't help but complain in her heart about how Ju Zi was being described in such detail.

"Let's go! Onward!" Orange exclaimed excitedly.

The metal rod in the left hand was slowly pushed forward, and immediately, the all-terrain detection soul guide device began to operate.

Huo Yutong used her mental detection to examine the situation inside the all-terrain detection soul tool, and she quickly understood the internal situation.

The all-terrain detection soul guide slowly moved forward, steadily stepping across the ground full of debris. The metal rubbed against the ground, making a low creaking sound.

On the way, Huo Yutong gained a clear understanding of this all-terrain detection soul tool and felt that it was very bulky.

Orange mentioned it briefly, wanting to actually apply it to war.

Through the crystal window, they saw an apocalyptic scene: the once vibrant Jingyang Mountains were now nothing but death and silence.

"The extent of the damage is astonishing. What could have caused this?" Huo Yutong frowned, her eyes filled with worry.

Orange's expression was serious as she gripped the control stick tightly, carefully piloting the soul tool and avoiding obstacles in the road: "Whatever it is, we have to be careful."
