The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Chapter 152 Location of the Strange Fire

(Anyone want to tip? No motivation at all!)

On second thought, Xiao Xuanyuan wondered if Zhang Sanqi, a powerful Star Douhuang, had also come here to search for the elusive Dragon-Phoenix Flame. After all, this place, deep within the Demon Beast Mountain Range, seemed to be the only place where the legendary Dragon-Phoenix Flame had been found, even though many powerful individuals had come here and still found nothing.

Regardless, Xiao Xuanyuan decided to wait and see what the situation would become before making any decisions. Alternatively, he could keep the fourth-tier Flaming Demon Tiger, which the old medicine master had said was helpful for refining medicine, and find an opportunity to seize it.

"Blood Flame, you are no match for our Wolf Fang Mercenary Group. Instead of fighting us to the death, you should save your strength and explore the Heavenly Flame Dragon Phoenix Flame with us later..."

Seeing that the Blood River Mercenary Group had an elder who could rival Hermon, Mu She realized that his own mercenary group didn't necessarily have an advantage. So he changed his mind and started persuading his opponent, Blood Flame, while fighting.

"Hmph, don't even think about it. You, Mu She, have quite the idea. You're openly trying to steal the Flaming Demon Tiger that rightfully belongs to us from right in front of the Blood River Mercenary Group. If you don't give us an explanation now, only one of us will be able to leave this Demon Beast Mountain Range!"

Bloodflame wields a Flame Tiger Spear carved with mysterious flame patterns. Unlike Bloodflame, Mu Serpent, though also a spear, has a green Teng Serpent pattern on its blade.

The two immediately began to fight, their powerful clashes sending out bursts of fighting spirit that stirred up dust and leaves, leaving the surrounding area in a mess.

Bang bang~

The two clashed violently once again, the intense aftershocks sweeping in all directions and creating small storms. Several tall ancient trees nearby were affected, leaving obvious marks of the attack and causing their trunks to creak. However, these ancient trees, which had grown for countless years, only trembled slightly under the powerful aftershocks of the two's attacks, without showing any sign of falling.

The two sides clashed, and the sounds of weapons clashing echoed continuously in the woods below.

Since the two largest mercenary groups in Qingshan Town, ranked first and second, have come, why didn't the Qinshan Mercenary Group, ranked last, come?

Looking at the stalemate between the two sides below, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but think of the three major mercenary groups in Qingshan Town, with the Qinshan Mercenary Group being the weakest.

Before entering the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Xuanyuan had learned about all sorts of mercenaries. Compared to the other two major mercenary groups, the Qinshan Mercenary Group had existed for a much longer time. According to information he gathered from Qingshan Town, before the other two major mercenary groups appeared, the Qinshan Mercenary Group was already the largest mercenary force in Qingshan Town.

During this period, it is said that the other two major mercenary groups changed hands repeatedly, but the Qinshan Mercenary Group has remained steadfast and continues to this day.

Xiao Xuanyuan was somewhat interested in this somewhat legendary mercenary group, but he had important business to attend to when he entered the Monster Mountain Range, so he did not want to pay them a visit.

While Xiao Xuanyuan was pondering, the battle below suddenly stopped.

Quickly pulling himself out of his thoughts, he looked up and eavesdropped with his soul perception. It turned out that both sides had suffered injuries. Seeing that the enemy was evenly matched and unable to continue fighting, Mu She and Xue Yan reached an agreement. The two of them took what they needed and divided the four-tier Flame Demon Tiger equally.

The Wolf Fang Mercenary Group's overall strength was no less than that of the Blood River Mercenary Group, and was even slightly stronger. Blood Flame gritted his teeth and could only helplessly let this bandit take away half of the Flaming Demon Tiger.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't sit still any longer. He had originally planned to wait until both sides were severely injured before he could come out and reap the benefits, but he hadn't expected that the two sides would stop fighting like this. That wouldn't do!

Although he was somewhat anxious, Xiao Xuanyuan did not show it. He slightly tilted his head, looked directly at the ring on his hand, and used his soul to transmit a message to ask the old man 'Medicine' if he had any ideas.

"How about I take matters into my own hands and wipe them out, so they won't be an eyesore?" After so many years of honing his soul form, the old man still possessed the imposing manner of a powerful figure. It was unclear whether he had learned it from Xiao Xuanyuan, but he spoke with the intention of killing to silence witnesses.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head slightly and said, "We don't need to do such a despicable thing just for the corpse of a fourth-level magical beast. Besides, we don't even know about the existence of the Dragon-Phoenix Flame yet, so let's talk about it later."

After a moment's thought, Xiao Xuanyuan decided on this course of action.

Knowing what kind of person the young man was, the old man shook his head helplessly and said nothing more to avoid any unpleasantness.

The corpses of fourth-tier magical beasts are rare commodities. Not only do they have a high probability of containing magical cores, but their scales and other items are also excellent for crafting high-quality weapons. Their flesh and blood, which have undergone a long evolution, are also rare delicacies. They also offer some unspeakable benefits to mercenaries who cultivate battle qi.

Xueyan was wary of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group's strength, so how could he entrust the beast to Mu She and his group? Therefore, at Xueyan's insistence, the fourth-tier Flaming Demon Tiger was temporarily handed over to the Blood River Mercenary Group for safekeeping, lest the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group turn its back on it if it were handed over to them.

After dealing with the Flaming Tiger and the injured mercenaries, the atmosphere between the two sides was temporarily eased.

"It seems you've received the news too, haven't you?" Mu asked with a forced smile.

Xue Yan nodded, hoisted the Flame Tiger Spear onto his shoulder, and slowly walked forward, saying, "Not bad, not bad. We've had people keeping an eye on things here. If there's anything strange, our people will naturally send a message via Blood Bird..."

"Hehe, I'm sure the Qinshan Mercenary Group knows about it too. That old fox Wang Dashan has always kept a low profile. He hasn't even had a chance to clash with them. He truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran force in Qingshan Town."

Mu She smiled and led the dozens of people behind him, heading into the tall jungle together with the Blood River Mercenary Group.

How could Xiao Xuanyuan fall behind? He followed closely behind them, clinging to the ancient tree trunk, yet without making a sound.

This dense jungle, which stretched like a pillar reaching to the sky, was of unknown size. After following the two mercenary groups ahead for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination.

Ahead, a relatively wide area appeared, with ancient trees scattered around, looking messy and disorderly, no different from the other areas with ancient trees we had passed.

"The location of the strange fire?"

Seeing that the two mercenary groups had stopped and stood among the ancient trees, Xiao Xuanyuan became suspicious. He used his Heavenly Vision Divine Eye to look out into the distance.

Chapter 153 Formations

The Celestial Eye was transformed from a pendant that Xiao Xuanyuan wore on his chest in his previous life.

It possesses a mysterious power that allows it to see through the true nature of all things in the world, and should not be underestimated.

In his previous life, Xiao Xuanyuan had always worn it on his chest since he was a child. With it around, he had never been sick and it kept his mind calm and peaceful.

He may not have understood it in the past, but now Xiao Xuanyuan realizes that its origin is extremely mysterious. In his previous life, he had asked his family, who said it was a family heirloom.

After the unusual changes during the previous alchemy process, Xiao Xuanyuan found that his Heavenly Vision Divine Eyes were more penetrating than before, and his vision was farther and clearer.

At this moment, in front of the Blood River Mercenary Group and the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group, deep within Xiao Xuanyuan's dark, pure blue eyes, the unusual situation in the ancient forest was revealed.

An invisible barrier appeared in front of the two mercenary groups, appearing as a thin layer of black, connected by a dozen or so tall ancient trees nearby...

Upon arriving here,

The fiery red-haired Blood Flame was talking to a young man beside him. After a while, he stepped forward, pointed to a few ancient trees in front of him, and said, "Mu She, Xiao Zhang noticed the strange color here, but why is there no movement at all?"

As he spoke,

Blood Flame gripped the Flaming Tiger Spear, and crimson battle qi surged into it. The spear emanated a chilling aura, and a crimson tiger, its head forming a circle around the shaft, materialized. Blood Flame's tiger-like eyebrows twitched, and his aura surged instantly. He thrust his hands straight at the tall, ancient trees in front of him, and the crimson tiger on the spear leaped out, roaring as it charged forward.

bang bang bang...

The tiger, conjured from battle aura, crashed into several ancient trees in front of it in the blink of an eye, unleashing tremendous power and exploding in mid-air, raising clouds of dust.

These tall, ancient trees had grown for an unknown amount of time. Although each tree was towering into the clouds and robust and thick, they remained completely unmoved by the spear of a powerful two-star Dou Shi. They didn't even leave a large gash. Instead, after the attack of Blood Flame, a faint black barrier slowly appeared from the vicinity, like ripples on flowing water.

"As expected, something unusual must be going on. There must be something fishy going on here!" Upon seeing this scene, Xue Yan's face showed a hint of joy.

Mu Shexing stepped forward and stood side by side with Xue Yan, looking ahead: "This place is so strange. It looks like an array. How can we break through this black barrier?"

In the distance, atop a tall, ancient tree with dense foliage, Xiao Xuanyuan was hiding behind it, his feet resting on a branch as thick as a bowl. He had just discovered that it was a hidden formation.

I still remember that when he was at the third stage of Dou Qi and his cultivation was making no progress, Xiao Xuanyuan read through all the books that the Xiao family could access and consult, and became a well-read scholar.

Among them was an ancient book that Xiao Xuanyuan still remembered. It contained many formations, including some ancient formations that were difficult to understand.

Xiao Xuanyuan vaguely felt that, through the careful investigation of the Heavenly Vision Divine Eye, this formation was very familiar, as if it was one he had seen before.

With a furrowed brow, recalling his memories of the array formations from the past, Xiao Xuanyuan activated his Heavenly Vision Divine Eyes after a long while, examining the array formations on the black screen before confirming that the two were the same ancient array formation.

Hehe, even if he didn't know, with the awesome cheat device that is the Heavenly Vision Divine Eye, Xiao Xuanyuan has nothing to worry about. What in this world can hide from him? Of course, the mysterious and unpredictable Xiao Xue is another matter.

A vast amount of information about this formation appeared in Xiao Xuanyuan's mind, and he already had a complete understanding of it.

Knowing this in his heart didn't mean Xiao Xuanyuan was confused. He spoke up and used telepathy to ask Elder Yao what his current plans were.

As a top-tier alchemist standing at the pinnacle of the continent, having lived for thousands of years, the Old Alchemist's experience is naturally extraordinary, and he has some knowledge of formations.

He nodded and said, "This might be a kind of array that 'confuses' and obscures people's perception and vision, but it has existed for so long that it may be quite difficult to break through it."

Hearing the words of the old man,

Xiao Xuanyuan chuckled inwardly. Under the Heavenly Eyes that could see through everything in the world, how could this formation in front of him possibly hide anything from him?

This is a grand array of the Nine Heavens Stars and the Big Dipper, possessing powerful array capabilities such as 'confusion', 'defense', 'transfer', and 'blockade'.

It is said that it uses the Big Dipper in the sky as its base and draws on the power of the stars in the sky to replenish the energy consumed in operating the great array. Therefore, throughout the ages, this great array has never declined and has continued to operate without interruption.

With his extensive knowledge and the aid of his divine vision, Xiao Xuanyuan already had a plan on how to break the formation, but he didn't want to reveal it to Yao Lao.

The formation was revealed, and the members of the two mercenary groups were overjoyed.

However, apart from Mu She, who had some understanding of formations, Xue Yan and the others knew nothing about them.

In fact, Mu She didn't know much; he had just seen a lot and heard about it occasionally. After testing the formations, he still gained nothing.

So he ordered the Blood River Mercenary Group to join forces, preparing to break through the illusionary formation in front of them with brute force; that was all he knew.

"When I count to three, everyone in the Blood River Mercenary Group should give it their all and unleash their strongest attack. Only then will we have a chance to break through this barrier!" After giving the order to Blood Flame, Mu She's Wolf Fang Mercenary Group was ready.

To encourage his subordinates to put in their best effort and break the illusionary formation, Mu She even offered a reward.

If everyone works together to break this formation, he will decide that everyone will be greatly rewarded when we return.

With his shout, the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group members rubbed their hands together, eager to try their skills, and seemed quite impatient.

Similarly, Xue Yan also rewarded his subordinates with gold coins. Before long, the members of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group and the Blood River Mercenary Group were all looking at the hazy black barrier that had appeared in front of them with burning eyes. Their fighting spirit had been drawn from their dantian and was constantly gathering for the strongest attack.

"one two three……"

After counting to the third, the two mercenary groups exerted their strength together, and streaks of battle aura attacks condensed from their bodies and bombarded the barrier in front of them.

crackling sounds...

Boom... boom...

After a burst of colorful energy, the hazy black barrier in front of them rippled outwards like waves on water, creating a spectacular and enchanting scene.

Chapter 154 Stealing the Way

Mu She and Xue Yan, leading their mercenary group members, launched wave after wave of powerful attacks against the black barrier that was beginning to appear ahead.

Under the combined onslaught of the two mercenary groups, the black barrier, which had been vaguely visible, was forced into formation. It formed a specific arc shape with a dozen or so tall ancient trees nearby as its base. However, under the repeated and forceful bombardment, the arc on its surface, which rippled like water, grew larger and larger, seemingly unable to withstand the pressure.

Xiao Xuanyuan used his Heavenly Vision Divine Eye to look around. In the blurry distance, between the black barrier and the stars in the sky within this invisible formation, there was a faint white light connecting them. Under the combined efforts of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group and the Blood River Mercenary Group, this undetectable link of light was shaking violently and could break at any moment.

After examining it carefully, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded silently. As he expected, this was indeed the Nine Heavens Starry Sky Big Dipper Formation. It had probably been around for an unknown amount of time, and it was showing signs of weakness in its defenses. If it could be broken through during this period, perhaps it would be possible to enter the formation's barrier.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan had a sudden thought. He abruptly leaped from the ancient tree where he had been hiding and landed in another ancient tree.

The old man was startled and asked, "What are you doing?"
