Mirror flower sauce of Douluo world

The sun is setting in the west and it is getting late.After walking in the Star Dou Forest for a day, Quan Jinghua and Ling Luochen were both a little tired.They found a place near a water source and carefully arranged it as their camping site tonight. After eating dry food, the two decided to take turns keeping watch.

Izumi Kyoka was responsible for the vigil in the first half of the night.She sat cross-legged on the grass, seemingly practicing, but in fact she was alert to every move in the darkness.In order not to attract dangerous soul beasts, she and Ling Luochen did not light a bonfire.So in this invisible environment, Quan Jinghua can only detect the surrounding disturbances through senses other than vision.Operating other senses at an unprecedented concentration will be somewhat uncomfortable for people who have relied on vision for a long time. However, some of them have learned to adjust quickly, while others only increase their mental fatigue.

Quan Jinghua adjusted quickly.She had already adapted to such an environment by often camping in the forest with her teacher a few years ago.The monotonous chirping of insects was repeated as always, and the cool night breeze rustled the leaves.This was already the fifth night that she and Ling Luochen had spent in the Star Forest. There were only a few days left before the end of the second semester holiday, but her third soul ring had not yet been found. This made Quan Jinghua I can't help but feel a little distressed.

If it weren't for Yasha Baixue's special nature, the process of finding the third soul ring wouldn't be so difficult and long.As a martial spirit that combines spiritual attributes, ice attributes, and dark attributes, Yasha Baixue's search for the first two spirit rings relied on luck (PS. The black-scaled catfish has mainly water attributes, supplemented by dark attributes and spiritual attributes) and The teacher's keen perception as a titled Douluo.The former is illusory, and the latter lacks conditions. Maybe it’s time for me to be prepared to return without success...

!!!

'What was that voice just now? Quan Jinghua quickly stood up and looked around.

As if in response to her question, an ominous rubbing sound suddenly broke the silence of the night.The Quanjinghua looked around and happened to meet two blood-red light spots on the treetops.

Izumi Kyoka: (●—●)

Night Bat: (●—●)

The moment he was woken up, Ling Luochen was defenseless.So when she opened her eyes and saw Tian Feiwu's blood-red eyes, she immediately raised her hand as a conditioned reflex, and a sheet of frost instantly froze the low-cultivation Night Bat into an ice sculpture.

"What...what is going on??" Ling Luochen covered herself with a layer of ice armor and rushed to Quan Jinghua, facing bats from all directions with her back to back.

"Maybe we're near a cave somewhere?"

Night bats, cave-dwelling soul beasts, generally live a collective life in dark corners.Following their nocturnal instinct, they only come in groups at night to forage not far from their nests, and immediately return to their nests to rest upside down as soon as daybreak.Judging from the current situation, they have probably entered each other's territory.

As time passed, more and more night bats were seen.The two had to change their response mode. Ling Luochen was responsible for defending and destroying the nearby spirit beasts, while Quan Jinghua was responsible for dealing with the concentrated far away spirit beasts that posed a greater threat to them.

Ling Luochen summoned an ice staff and surrounded the two of them with a blue cover made of frost, freezing a few approaching bats from time to time; Quan Jinghua clenched the dagger in her hand and eliminated a few that could barely break through. The "fish that slipped through the net" of the defense, and the Yasha Baixue in the distance quickly harvested the lives of a soul beast under her command.

The two people's actions were definitely coordinated and swift, but after all, their soul power was limited, the night was long, and they were outnumbered. If they continued like this, they might not be able to survive the dawn.

"This is so unlucky...it doesn't stop all night long." Cold sweat broke out on Ling Luochen's forehead. She had been maintaining the frost cover all the time and it took a lot of energy.

"...You can't take it off like this anymore." Otherwise, I might really fall into trouble here.Quan Jinghua looked solemn and made a somewhat risky proposal.

"Oh, this is the only way." The light in Ling Luochen's eyes became firmer, "I can still hold on for about ten minutes. Before that, you must find the 'Dark Night Leader'."

Quan Jinghua nodded and focused more on exploring the black tide of bats.Anyone who understands the habits of night bats knows one thing, that is, a special individual will evolve in each nest of night bats - the "night leader".Its existence is equivalent to the central brain of the entire group, and the actions of the night bats in the same nest are all directed by it.So now as long as we find the "Dark Night Leader" and eliminate it, the dilemma ahead will naturally be solved.

But it's not easy to find it among so many bats.Although the most obvious feature of the "Dark Night Leader" is that he has one more eye than other dark night bats, searching in such a dark and messy place is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.

Izumi Kyoka took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.Since we can't find it this way, we can only let it reveal itself.

A series of "whirling shadows" were launched specifically towards the place where night bats were concentrated, and instantly there was a body with various soul rings floating on the ground.Night bats were constantly replenished from afar, but in most places they were replenished slowly, but in one place they became dense again almost in the blink of an eye.

found it!

Any creature acting as a leader will lead the party as long as its own safety is guaranteed.A second before the addition of Dark Night Bats was completed, Izumi Kyoka finally found the figure of the "Dark Night Leader".

"Shadowless wave mark!" Following Izumi Jinghua's command, the colorless sword energy passed through the layers of dark night bats and hit the head of the "dark night leader".With the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground, the entire bat group seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, and all attacks were in vain the moment the "Night Leader" died.

It's still a long time before dawn arrives, but the night of terror is already over.

—

Luck is an elusive thing, no one can say when and where it will come.

The night bats dispersed, and the crisis was finally resolved.Quan Jinghua and Ling Luochen sat on the ground regardless of their appearance, not wanting to move.After a while, Ling Luochen suggested finding a safe place to rest until dawn before continuing on the road.

The sleepy and tired Izumi Kyoka wanted to agree, but she realized after her sight touched a bunch of soul rings floating on the ground: with the attributes of the night bat (mainly dark attributes, supplemented by spiritual attributes), now it is just right. There is a ready-made soul ring, why look for something else?

That’s right⊙_⊙by Ling Luochen, who was also too tired to lose consciousness.

So after a lot of picking and choosing, the soul ring produced by "Dark Night Leader" happened to match the age of Quan Jinghua's third soul ring.Under Ling Luochen's protection, Quan Jinghua absorbed the soul ring until dawn.During this period, no other soul beasts attacked, nor did any rejection reactions occur.

After daybreak, the two finally gathered their spirits and got back on the road.What's different from before is that the two of them can finally say goodbye to sleeping in the open and return to Shrek City!

However, all the good mood was wiped out after a sudden attack.After this period of struggle, Quan Jinghua and Ling Luochen became sensitive to danger to a certain extent, so they both easily avoided this murderous temptation.

Two figures walked out from behind the tree, adding another twist to this already difficult journey to the Star Dou Forest.
