The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

After Xiao Xuanyuan realized what was happening, the members of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group and the Blood River Mercenary Group also gradually came to their senses. With Mu She and Blood River having the highest cultivation levels, when they saw Xiao Xuanyuan's last silhouette entering the vortex passage ahead, they shouted loudly to the people around them, "Quick, follow me into the entrance ahead!"

As they spoke, Mu She and Xue He followed Xiao Xuanyuan into the entrance of the vortex passage.

At this moment, the great battle between the Dou Huang powerhouses above had already begun. Below, the flying sand and stones stirred up by the tornado obscured even the view. Only a few of the more astute mercenaries from the two mercenary groups managed to follow the two into the vortex passage entrance in time. The rest who couldn't catch up lost their lives in the aftershocks of the battle between the two Dou Huang powerhouses.

"This is a Dou Huang level expert? It's terrifying!" After entering the vortex passage entrance, after a slight dizziness, he felt his body sway and his feet touched solid ground.

After uttering a few curses to vent his anger, Xiao Xuanyuan looked up and gazed in all directions.

The sky was low and gray, and all around were patches of gray-brown plants, wild grasses, trees, mountains, rivers, and lakes. Looking up, everything was in a depressing gray-brown tone.

"Where exactly is this place?" Xiao Xuanyuan was very puzzled.

hum!

Hearing the commotion behind him, he turned around and saw a familiar vortex passage entrance appearing in mid-air behind Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Oh no, they've come in too!" After a slight pause, Xiao Xuanyuan darted into a nearby patch of gray-brown woods and hid behind a lush tree.

Puff puff!

After a series of thuds, several figures fell to the ground one after another. Among them, two figures, although somewhat disheveled, were not badly bruised and swollen, and landed steadily despite their staggering gait.

"It was them."

After seeing the appearances of these people clearly, Xiao Xuanyuan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood.

The battle between Yun Yun and Zhang Sanqi involved powerful figures at the Dou Huang level, a situation that most people wouldn't dare to observe. At that time, everyone was in the center of the battle, and escaping was simply unrealistic, given the vast scope of the conflict between Dou Huang experts.

Those whose strength doesn't reach their level will either die or be seriously injured if they are even slightly hit by the aftershocks of the battle, making it difficult to survive. The only way to survive is through the entrance to this vortex passage leading to an unknown location. That's why Mu She and Xue He made the same choice: to follow Xiao Xuanyuan and risk entering this unknown restricted barrier.

Chapter 157 The Horde

One by one, seven or eight people came in with Mu She and Xue Yan. Among them were Hermon, the second leader of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group, and four or five mercenary members of the Blood River Mercenary Group, making a total of ten people.

The Wolf Fang Mercenary Group and the Blood River Mercenary Group originally brought thirty or forty people, but now, after suffering heavy losses, only a few remain.

"Hemon, where are the others?" Seeing that besides himself and Hemon, only two mercenary members had followed them in, he seemed to already know the reason, but he still couldn't help but ask.

The seemingly imposing and robust Hermon now looked like a child who had done something wrong, his head slightly bowed, and he said dejectedly, "Commander, they haven't followed..."

Mu She rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache.

Then he angrily shook his hand and said, "Never mind them, let's find the strange fire first. The formation is so well hidden that no one has discovered it for so long. There must be some treasure here."

On the other side, Xue Yan counted the number of people and his heart sank. The Blood River Mercenary Group had suffered heavy losses this time. A team of more than ten or twenty people was reduced to only a few in the blink of an eye. These were all elite members of the Blood River Mercenary Group, not people who could be recruited at will. But they were gone in the blink of an eye. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken and conflicted.

Both sides counted their numbers and had to accept this disastrous result.

"Blood Flame, look, we only have so few people left now, and who knows what hidden dangers lurk here. Why don't we..." Mu She approached the Blood River Mercenary Group and laid it all out. His meaning was clear: continue cooperating with the Blood River Mercenary Group.

Putting everything else aside, the corpse of that fourth-tier Flame Demon Tiger is still in Xue Yan's hands. Mu She cannot let Xue Yan get away with it. Moreover, this unknown barrier is obviously different from the outside world. There may be some insurmountable dangers. Only by cooperating with the Blood River Mercenary Group can we find a way out. This is a last resort.

Xue Yan nodded slightly. He had the same idea. Cooperation was the only way out. Otherwise, if either party ventured out alone, not only would they not be able to find the strange fire, but they might not even be able to protect their own safety.

Both sides quickly reached a decision to continue their cooperation.

“Xiao Xuanyuan, the restrictive power of this barrier formation is very strong. Even when I extended my soul perception, I felt an inexplicable suppression.”

At this moment, the old man named Yao transmitted his voice.

"Oh," Xiao Xuanyuan was slightly surprised. Even Yao Lao, whose strength was Dou Zun, was suppressed. Even though he was in soul form at the moment, it was clear from this that the restrictive power within the barrier was extraordinary.

"Elder Yao, can you tell what kind of barrier this is? Or, have you sensed the presence of other strange flames?" Xiao Xuanyuan's desire for strange flames made him impatient, and he asked curiously.

"Yes, but it comes and goes, as if it's on the horizon, yet also right before my eyes. I can't quite pinpoint where it is."

The old man frowned, deep in thought.

The strange fires in the world are all exceptionally powerful energies. They are interconnected and mutually resonant. However, when two different strange fires coexist in one place, they will fight each other until one devours the other to strengthen its own power. Otherwise, they will never coexist. This is the commonality among strange fires.

"Oh, it seems this will be difficult. But we'll take it one step at a time. Compared to others, we have all the preparations to devour strange fire. Even if we encounter strange fire, the chances of us obtaining it are very high." He nodded slightly and then fell silent again.

"Xiao Xuanyuan, run forward quickly!" Suddenly, a shout came from the ring.

With a frown, Xiao Xuanyuan was about to ask what was going on when suddenly, a slight tremor came from the ground behind him.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and Xiao Xuanyuan took off running forward with lightning speed. Based on the tremors coming from the ground behind him, Xiao Xuanyuan was certain that a large group was rushing towards them from behind. As for what it was, he wasn't sure yet, but he guessed it was a herd of beasts.

Just as the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group and the Blood River Mercenary Group finished their discussion, a figure suddenly rushed out of the gray-brown jungle. They were immediately alert and became wary. However, when they saw that it was Xiao Xuanyuan, they were slightly stunned and couldn't help but be a little surprised. What was he doing here?

Mu She's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the person who dared to cut in front of them and try to enter the barrier? Now was the perfect time to catch him and ask him what his background was.

Just as Mu She was about to call out to Xue Yan, who was standing nearby, to chase after them, Xiao Xuanyuan spoke up at the right moment, reminding everyone, "You guys run quickly, or you won't have a chance later."

Ah!

Upon hearing this, Mu She laughed. "You can't even protect yourself now, yet you're 'worrying' about our safety. Do you think we're so easy to fool?"

"Blood Flame, capture him." With that, Mu She followed closely behind, leading Hermon and the other remaining members of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group in pursuit of Xiao Xuanyuan ahead.

"Oh!" After a moment of hesitation, Xue Yan said to the five people behind him and chased after them.

At that moment, a rumbling tremor came from the ground over the gray-brown jungle. In no time, several dark figures leaped out of the forest.

Hearing the unusual sound behind them, everyone turned around and felt a chill run down their spines.

A group of ferocious beasts charged and leaped out of the gray-brown jungle. Their colors were generally similar, ranging from gray to brown to black. Some were covered in scales, while others were not. However, they all had one thing in common: they looked exceptionally fierce and brutal.

Looking up, it was densely packed, countless in number.

Rumble!

The deafening thud sounded as if the earth was trembling and roaring.

Xiao Xuanyuan also realized that these beasts were no different from the magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, except that their colors were generally gray, brown, and black, making them appear too dull and monotonous.

After bursting out of the gray-brown jungle, this group of strangely colored magical beasts roared as they charged toward Xiao Xuanyuan and his group, their roars echoing all the way.

The roars of ten thousand beasts shook the heavens!

Rumble!

Upon seeing this, Mu She and the others lost all interest in chasing Xiao Xuanyuan. They quickly took off running as fast as they could, fleeing for their lives.

"Where did this horde of magical beasts come from? There are tens of thousands of them!" Mu She and Xue Yan were utterly horrified. Outside the Magical Beast Mountain Range, even when there were hordes of magical beasts, they usually only numbered a few hundred or a thousand, which was already considered a large number. But before them, the magnificent scene—tens of thousands of beasts—seemed to be endlessly rushing out of the gray-brown jungle.

Chapter 158 Dragon and Phoenix

Everyone was horrified and ran away in a frenzy.

Mu She and Xue Yan, along with a few others, possessed higher cultivation levels and decent speed, coupled with quicker reactions, and narrowly escaped the massive charge of the beast horde. However, several who had managed to escape with their lives during the battles between Dou Huang level experts perished under that terrifying beast tide, trampled into mincemeat.

This horde of beasts didn't seem to intend to attack the group. After Xiao Xuanyuan fled to the side, the tens of thousands of magical beasts all rushed forward, ignoring the people who had escaped.

"Elder Yao, what's going on here? How come this beast tide is so huge?" Standing beside the massive beast tide, aside from occasionally taking action and killing some lone beasts that had run off in the wrong direction, Xiao Xuanyuan asked with some leisure.

"The real show is yet to come!" The old man held the ring upside down, his gaze fixed on the rear of the monster tide.

Hey!

Tweet!

Behind the terrifying and massive horde of monsters, a gray-black dragon and a gray-brown phoenix roared and shrieked as they emerged from behind the gray-brown jungle, piercing the sky.

A roaring posture, a high-pitched howl!

Upon seeing such a terrifying creature, Xiao Xuanyuan was startled and quickly asked, "Elder Yao, are you confident in dealing with it?"

As he spoke, he quickly scanned the surroundings several times, found a low-lying area with a huge rock there, and with a flash, hid behind it.

The old man looked very solemn. He said, "If I'm not mistaken, two overlord-level beasts, a dragon and a phoenix, have perished here before."

"What?" Upon hearing the telepathic message from the old medicine master, Xiao Xuanyuan was startled once again.

The dragon and phoenix have fallen? Thinking of this, he curiously stuck his head out slightly, opened his Heavenly Vision Divine Eye, and looked at the two dragons and phoenixes that were quickly soaring from the distance of the gray-brown forest.

The Primordial Void Dragon, one of the three supreme magical beast families on the Dou Qi Continent, this is its vengeful spirit...

The Celestial Phoenix ranks second among the three supreme magical beast families on the Dou Qi Continent; this is its vengeful spirit...

A series of messages came from the deep blue rhombus-shaped crystal in his mind. He narrowed his eyes and quickly pulled his neck back.

"Based on my deduction, if I'm not mistaken, these two terrifying beasts should be two undead. They have roamed this barrier for a long time and are the overlords here. The 'tide' of demonic beasts just now should have been created by them." After observing for a moment, the old apothecary explained in detail.

At this moment, Mu She and Xue Yan, who had escaped the calamity, were also trembling with fear, and they all looked for hiding places in the nearby terrain.

"Damn it, what are these two things?" Mu She was hiding in a large crater in the ground, panting heavily and cursing.

These men were mercenaries their whole lives, always roaming the magical beast mountains near Qingshan Town. They had seen all kinds of magical beasts, but today they saw something new: two terrifying magical beasts soaring from afar, which they had never heard of before. Judging from the aura they exuded in the distant sky, they were no weaker than the two fighting outside the barrier.

"What the hell are these things? It's unbelievable! I've run into these terrifying guys one after another today!" Mu She was still furious as he recovered his depleted battle qi.

The second regimental commander, Hermon, standing beside him, didn't dare to breathe too loudly. Today's adventure had truly terrified him. It started with Zhang Sanqi's antics, then a terrifyingly strong woman appeared, and now, even inside the barrier, two more terrifying unknown creatures had appeared before him. This series of thrilling and dangerous encounters made him feel that his life was about to be lost.

Of the people from the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group who came this time, only the two leaders remained.

Meanwhile, Xue Yan hid in a lake, holding his breath, submerged and motionless. Of his five brothers, two were now lost; one was with him, and the other two had disappeared.

The group dodged quickly, and the two dragons and phoenixes that arrived in the blink of an eye seemed unaware of their presence, and flew away with a whoosh.

With the departure of the two dragons and phoenixes, the area returned to tranquility and gradually fell silent.

After a long while, once he was sure that nothing was wrong, Xiao Xuanyuan peeked out from behind the rock and looked around the area.

At this moment, apart from the footprints of the beasts and a messy ground, there were no more magical beasts left on the ground. Scattered around were some dead and wounded magical beasts, either trampled to death by the beast tide or killed by the crowd.

Mu She and the others also emerged, and when they saw Xiao Xuanyuan, they quickly surrounded him.

"You're still alive? Tell me, who are you?" Mu She asked, his eyes fixed on Xiao Xuanyuan like a venomous snake, a flash of cold light in his eyes.

There were six people in total: Mushe and Hermon, Bloodflame and three of his mercenary subordinates.

"Me? Didn't I say so before?" Xiao Xuanyuan was quite confident in dealing with these people. Even if he couldn't defeat them, at least if he wanted to escape, these people might not be able to stop him.

As he spoke, a massive, jet-black ruler appeared on his shoulder, the Xuanzhong Ruler.
