Douluo's Long Night

Chapter 87 Darkness is the Breeding Ground of Fear
The three soul masters panicked and ran from the forest with soaring flames to a relatively flat grassland.

There are not many trees around, but rocks and grass are everywhere.

"We can't run anymore, we have to find a safe place to hide." The speaking soul master was wearing a standard black school uniform.

"It makes sense, that Red Flame Beast is too destructive, and it's going on a rampage."

The agreeing soul master wore the same black clothes as the two soul masters next to him.

"There! There is a hidden cave there, it should be possible to hide people!" No. 3 soul master pointed to the cave half-hidden by boulders in the distance below the slope.

"I don't know if there are people, maybe it's the cave of the soul beast."

"It's not easy to judge," No.2 soul master said with a hint of pride in his tone, "Look at me."

As he finished speaking, light blue fish scales emerged from under the No.2 soul master's skin, climbing up his face layer by layer, and Dasheng's pale light immediately covered all traces on his face.

The ghostly shadow of a huge anglerfish was attached to the soul master, its terrifying fine fangs brought endless gloom, and the bony fins pierced the soul master's back and elbows.

A slender and tight luminous fishing rod protruded from the soul master's forehead, and the lantern at the end of the fishing rod shone with a fierce white light.

Martial soul possessed, deep sea anglerfish.

The monkfish soul master placed the lantern above his head at the entrance of the cave, and the rippled white light rippled in circles.

The scene in the cave is extremely clear under the caress of white light.

The cave that reflected the dense white glow was sparkling because of the unevenness of the stone walls, but the three fleeing soul masters did not find any signs of living things.

"No one! Just right!"

The monkfish soul master saw the most thoroughly, seeing that there was no one in the cave, he shrank his body first.

A few small steps were drilled through the narrow stone crevice.

The originally pitch-black stone cave was brightened by the light emitted by the Angler fish soul master, even standing outside, one could still see the faint glimmer of light inside the cave.

The two soul masters behind him looked at each other, seeing that there was no serious danger in the cave, they followed closely behind the monkfish soul master.

When the two went down to the cave, they could still see the familiar white light of the angler fish soul master farther away from them.

The originally dazzling white light is like a beacon of salvation in the ink-black cave.

The shining white light that comes with the Angler fish spirit is the guiding light for the two of them. Before thinking about why the companion in front could walk so far in a short period of time, the two of them followed the white light in front of them and went deep into the cave.

"Hey, this hole is not small, it can accommodate several people,"

A soul master walking behind patted the cold and solid stone wall with his hands, "It would be great if we found this place on the first day, it's cool and safe."

"Huh? What's going on!" Another soul master exclaimed suddenly.

"What's wrong...ah!?" The soul master was shocked.

The cave was silent for a while.

Since the two of them entered the cave, they have been following the trail of white light.

Given that their companions were willing to explore the way in person, the two of them also felt relieved.

But just now, their "guiding light" suddenly stagnated, but this didn't make them feel strange.

Perhaps it was the end of the cave, and the companion in front stopped and waited for the two of them to get together to discuss the next move.

The two walked to the place where the white light overflowed, but the scene in front of them made their hair stand on end.

It was not some companion who had been emitting white light to guide the two of them forward, but a soul beast skull that radiated a frightening white light from its pupils.

The hollow eye sockets of the skull stared straight at the two of them. The white light was not only dazzling, but also pierced their cowardly hearts.

Fear occupied the brains of the two of them at that moment, and they didn't dare to move for a while.

It took a while for one of them to react, and took a few steps back, trying to stay away from the skull symbolizing disaster.

The soul master next to him also retreated to a safe distance as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"This... what is this?"

"I don't know, the most important question is... Where did Liu Xin... go?"

"He came in first, and then... we followed his light..."

"...His white light seemed to have stagnated for a moment, and then stopped moving..."

"Maybe that pause was Liu Xin who was killed..."

"There should be a soul beast or soul master here, I think the possibility of a soul master is more..."

Speaking of this, the taller soul master of the two suddenly came to his senses.

"That means there are still people in this cave, and they are planning to ambush us, let's go out first!!"

The tall soul master roared hurriedly, dragged his companion beside him and rushed towards the entrance of the cave.

The white light behind him suddenly went out!
dark
The extreme darkness eroded their vision, and the atmosphere of fear permeated the slightly damp cave, and the cold fear pierced the bones of the two.

The tall soul master was puzzled.

It stands to reason that there is moonlight outside the cave, no matter how narrow the entrance of the cave is, there will still be silver light scattered in, and now there is no light in the cave...

There is a high probability that the hole is blocked by people.

The tall soul master could still think calmly in the dark, but the companion beside him was cold all over, terrified and at a loss:
"Gao Jian, what should we do...can we get out alive?"

The voice was trembling with fear, it should be that the experience is still inexperienced, and I have never seen such a battle.

"No rush, there is always a way."

The soul master named Gao Jian didn't know what to do in his heart, so he spoke in such a way to comfort his companion as well as himself.

Apart from the sense of the ground, there was nothing around him, and Gao Jian felt the need to touch the wall of the cave.

As long as you follow the wall, you should be able to touch the entrance of the cave, just be careful of the soul masters who may be ambushing in the cave.

Like a blind man, Gao Jian stretched his arms and fumbled left and right, trying his luck randomly, and his feet were also testing back and forth.

Finally, Gao Jian's hand felt the hard and cold wall, and he was overjoyed.

This is the first step to success. As expected, I am still very good at being so calm and steady in such a dangerous situation.

"Fengzi, I've touched the wall of this cave, you hold me, we don't separate."

With a low voice, Takami turned his head and spoke to the companion next to him.

After waiting for a long time, his words did not get a response from his companion.

Gao Jian's heart shuddered, it was strange.

Feng Tong is usually timid, so why does he not respond to my words.

"Fengzi?"

no respond.

"are you still there?"

Gao Jian only heard his own low echo in the cave.

Gao Jian's heart was completely chilled.

He knew, he should have known all along, that the ambusher in that cave had been lurking beside them.

As soon as he touched the wall, Feng Tong had already been killed, but he didn't know if his life was in danger.

Although Gao Jian's eyes were pitch-black, he believed that his senses were sharp and he should be able to detect the enemy's surprise attack.

He lowered his palm touching the cold stone wall, and put his arms in front of him in a fighting posture.

..........................................

Xu Junfang hangs upside down on the top of the dark cave like a bat.

His eyes were blood red, and he stared at Gao Jian expressionlessly.

His eyes seemed to be looking at a dying person.

Gao Jian turned his back on him, and his defensive posture was full of flaws in Xu Junfang's eyes.

Gao Jian's vigilance is as cute as the last struggle of a sheep in front of a hungry wolf.

Xu Junfang became alert when the three soul masters were within three meters of the cave.

He directly possessed the second martial soul, blended into the darkness in the form of a bat, and hid in the deepest part of the cave.

Sure enough, the three soul masters who were close to the cave entered one by one after inspecting the interior of the cave with a strong light.

The narrowness of the entrance was deliberately designed by Xu Junfang.

In this case, only one person can enter at a time when the soul master is too lazy to move the huge rock at the entrance of the cave.

The first one to come down is the opponent's lighting person, whose soul power is very weak, only level 15.

Xu Junfang didn't give this person a chance to react, he switched from the Death Lord to the Heavenly Venerate Mask Martial Soul, and a blue light clung to the body of the Angler Fish Soul Master like a poisonous snake.

The first soul skill, Brutal Thunder Whip!
The electric current far exceeding what a 15th-level soul master could bear flowed through the fragile soul master's body in an instant, and the paralysis and pain of the current caused the angler fish soul master to faint instantly.

Xu Junfang dragged the unconscious anglerfish soul master leisurely towards the depths of the cave, the white light scattered by the wild thunder whip was thought to be the lantern light of the anglerfish by the two who entered behind.

Then Xu Junfang condensed a ball of lightning light similar to Yu Shulei with his bare hands, and put it under the skull of a soul beast he had collected.

By the time the next two soul masters were frightened by the glowing skull, Xu Junfang had already touched the entrance of the cave and blocked their retreat.

The light ball made by Xu Junfang failed to last too long, and the energy exhausted made the cave return to darkness.

Xu Junfang switched back to the second martial spirit again, and the death monarch's night vision allowed him to clearly see the terrified faces of the two soul masters in the dark.

The relatively shorter soul master was particularly panicked, and immediately released his martial soul.

The level of soul power is not high, around level 16.

Xu Junfang knew that it was an agility attack type pigeon spirit that could fly, and its weakness was its extremely poor defense.

Xu Junfang hung upside down on top of his head, using the back end of the hard handle of the stainless steel dagger to hack at the vagus meridian on the side of Baige soul master's neck.

A blow to the vagus nerve can instantly cause the soul master's whole body to lose strength, confusion, fainting and shock, and even death directly.

Spirit Master Baige was weak, even if Xu Junfang didn't attack with all his strength, it directly caused Spirit Master Baige to faint.

Xu Junfang caught the fallen body of Spirit Master Baige without making a sound.

Place him in the deepest part of the cave together with the unconscious Angler fish soul master.

Xu Junfang turned back again, and the last thing he had to deal with was the tall man with the highest level of soul power.

Gao Jian couldn't bear the fear in his heart and let out a low growl.

Gao Jian's lean muscles all over his body bulged like a blow, and his coiled muscles swam around him like a dragon, making him more than twice as tall as before.

Thick black spiky hair gushed out from his body in an instant, Takami's pale skin was wrapped in a thick layer of bear fur, and a huge black bear figure appeared behind him.

The most exaggerated is Gao Jian's arms. If his body hair is black steel thorns, then his arms are two steel pipes shining with dark silver luster.

A pair of iron arms were several times thicker than his own thighs.

This is the iron-armed bear, Xu Junfang instantly recognized Gao Jian's Wuhun, and that thick iron arm is the best identification mark.

Level 18 soul power.

Xu Junfang estimated Gao Jian's soul power level, thinking about how to start.

Gao sees the iron-armed bear martial soul possessed, feeling that he is protected in a body covered with steel thorns, invulnerable.He was a little swollen, raised his head and roared in a low voice, expressing his fear while showing his edge to invisible enemies.

"Ho ho ho ho - ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

The mighty bear roar came to an abrupt end.

Instead, there was a shrill scream.

Tearing cries of pain resounded through the airtight cave, and the overlapping sound waves hit the wall and bounced around, creating a symphony of pain in the cave.

Five dark golden ferocious claws pierced Gao Jian's abdomen, with dark red blood dripping from the tips of the claws.

The Dark Gold Terror Claw entered from Takami's back, and came out from the front abdomen. A large amount of dark blood stained Takami's bear hair, and the blood spurted out along the direction where the Dark Gold Terror Claw penetrated.

Xu Junfang left a little bit of leeway, and did not choose to rotate his arm to bring almost incurable damage to Gao Jian.

He jerked his icy Terrorpaw out from Gao Jian's back, and a clump of blood burst out.

The swiftly drawn claws once again brought Gao Jian a wave of severe pain, blood spilled all over the ground, and the cave was full of fishy smell.

"Ahhhhh!!"

In the field of vision of Xu Junfang's night eyes, Gao Jian's bear face twisted in pain.

His two thick bear paws pressed against the bleeding wound, preventing more blood from flowing.

However, his willpower was not strong enough after all, and in an instant he was paralyzed in front of Xu Junfang because of the pain and excessive blood loss.

Xu Junfang licked the blood on his paws, feeling unsatisfied.

Suddenly, his brows frowned, he didn't clean up Gao Jian who was seriously injured by him on the ground, and melted into the boundless darkness again.

The boulder at the door was moved away with great force, and the silver glow of the night was projected into the cave.

"Zhou Tianpeng, there is a hole here, we should be able to make do with it for one night today..."

At the entrance of the cave stood a young man in yellow clothes.
