Mirror flower sauce of Douluo world

With a knife, he split open the bat-like soul beast that had been killed on the way. Yasha Baixue shook the dark red liquid adhering to the blade in disgust. Seeing that the blade was finally cleaned, the bright yellow eyes flashed with pleasure in a humane way. of light.

But when she recalled her master's instructions before the battle, the light that rarely lit up dimmed again.Yasha Baixue reluctantly turned her gaze to the remains of the bat-like soul beast scattered on the ground. After carefully identifying them, she finally picked up the part containing the complete skeleton.

After destroying the eliminated remains, Yasha Baixue took the "trophies" and floated to a small mound not far away as if nothing had happened.

With the mound at her back and the yellow sky above her head, Izumi Jinghua, who had been wandering around the ruins of the ancient city for three days and three nights, felt a little worried when she looked at the remains of the spirit beasts arranged in an orderly manner in front of her.

If Quan Jinghua could still look at the difficulties she faced with an optimistic attitude when she woke up, then the successive "blows" made her mood fall to the bottom.

According to Izumi Kyoka's initial speculation, it was impossible for the evil soul master to drop himself and then disappear into thin air, so there must be a passage to the outside world nearby.However, even if Izumi Kyoka expands her search scope to farther places, what she sees is still the same desert wasteland and ruins.

What's even more troublesome is that as the time spent in the ancient city ruins gradually extends, the physical problems that Izumi Kyoka ignored at the beginning become more and more serious.

In desperation, Quan Jinghua had no choice but to use local materials.The girl who has been on missions so frequently in recent years that she has accumulated a lot of survival experience first carefully observed the habits and distribution characteristics of the soul beasts living here, and then Yasha Baixue came to deliver her to the door, or The soul beasts you encountered by chance were killed with a knife and brought back.

Today, the soul beast remains placed in front of Quan Jinghua can be roughly divided into two categories:

The first is edible soul beasts, represented by plant-based soul beasts and some bird soul beasts. The non-toxic parts can be simply processed to obtain food that is barely edible; the second is that the flesh and blood itself is full of highly poisonous and can be eaten even if touched. Other soul beasts were very problematic. Most of them belonged to the bat category. Apart from having hard bones that could be used to make simple weapons, Quan Jinghua could not think of a better way to deal with them for the time being.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yaksha Shirayuki."

Seeing the blue-purple figure flying back with the remains of the bat-like soul beast, Quan Jinghua was sincerely grateful.

"!!!" Yasha Baixue struggled to restrain the urge to run around in circles, but her joyful mood was still vividly reflected by the suddenly accelerated speed of material processing.

Taking the soul beast skeleton that Yasha Baixue had processed, Izumi Kyoka tied it with other polished materials. After confirming that the firmness and ductility were all right, a simple bow and arrow was born.

Putting the newly released bows and arrows together with other homemade weapons, Izumi Kyoka simply confirmed the current inventory: arrows, daggers, ropes... Next, she only needs to make a few more that can be used as throwing weapons when necessary. With the dagger, he and Yasha Baixue can set off again!

Different from the areas they explored before, next, they will face the core area of ​​the ancient city ruins - the gathering area of ​​ten thousand year soul beasts.

There, it is absolutely impossible to rely solely on Yasha Shirayuki's power. Therefore, Izumi Kyoka must use all means to arm herself as much as possible.

Carrying the food reserves on his back, equipping himself with a number of weapons, and restoring his soul power to its best condition, Quan Jinghua moved towards her last hope.

-

After entering the core area of ​​the ancient city ruins, the killings suddenly increased in a strange way.One moment, the soul beasts swooping down from high altitudes attacked without warning, and the next moment, they were inexplicably involved in the melee of soul beasts based on the group... Even Izumi Kyoka herself would occasionally become violent for unknown reasons. Change from passive to active in the fight.

'It's like being dominated by some unknown spiritual power, and even thinking becomes involuntary. '

Standing on a dilapidated tower that had been cleaned up, Quan Jinghua looked at the brutal fighting below that could be covered with a large mosaic, and her eyes became colder.

She finally understood what the Holy Spirit Cult and that man were up to.

If there are any unsolved mysteries in this world, then the origin and birth of the evil soul master is definitely one of them.Quan Jinghua, who had been troubled by the problem of martial soul mutation in the past and was determined to solve the problem from the source, once read such a point of view in a certain research material stored in the inner courtyard library:

"...Although the origin of the evil soul master has long been impossible to verify, it can be seen from the existing data that the birth of the evil soul master is inseparable from a weak and easily shaken will, the erosion of darkness and blood. Some studies have even shown that these negative factors It will be passed down to the next generation along with the bloodline, giving the descendants of the evil soul master a higher chance of awakening the evil spirit..."

In the eyes of that man, he should belong to such a situation: he has the "potential" to become an evil soul master, but due to unknown reasons has not ushered in the awakening of the evil soul, that is to say -

Requires specific conditions of stimulation and guidance.

In this case, what better place to dispose of yourself than the ruins of this ancient city?After all, in this lonely and boring, crazy and terrifying hell, reason and emotion are being consumed and eroded all the time.With an imperfect mind and faced with endless viscous malice, almost no one can survive alone in this situation.

It's a pity that the man made the wrong calculation from the beginning.

If we could go back in time to a time when we had not yet visited Wanlongling, things might develop as the man expected.But now, I have been reborn under the effect of "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", and the skills given by the 10-year-old trunk bones have minimized the negative impact of the environment...

Unless there are other major force majeure changes, I will never go as that man wants even if I risk my life.

Yasha Shirayuki, who was patrolling the tower, suddenly appeared in front of the girl who was deep in thought.Through telepathy, Quan Jinghua learned that the other party had discovered something incredible in the tower.

'Anyway, let's go and see what it is that we have missed...'

Quan Jinghua restrained the murderous aura that she had unknowingly exuded, followed Yaksha Shirayuki, and jumped from the hole on the top of the tower into the darkness where she couldn't even see her fingers.

-

'right here. '

At Yasha Baixue's signal, Izumi Kyoka, who was holding a torch, squinted her eyes and carefully looked at the stone wall in front of her that was covered by the plant-like soul beast-Ghost Vine. After a moment, she showed an expression of sudden realization.

'I see, if it weren't for Yasha Baixue's reminder, I might not have noticed it until I left. '

'But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, the fluctuations in soul power are so weak that they can't even compete with ghost vines that have been cultivated for less than a hundred years. The light in the tower is so dim that it's difficult to even distinguish colors...'

'But in the final analysis, I still have to blame myself for not checking carefully enough at the beginning...'

While the girl was feeling annoyed and reflecting in her heart, she lit the ghost vines clinging to the stone wall with flames.

As a common but weak species among plant-like soul beasts, ghost vines have quite strong vitality and excellent reproductive capabilities, but their bodies hidden under the lush branches are still as fragile as ordinary plants.

Ghost Vine, which has only existed in the world for a few decades, is even more immature.When they subconsciously realized that the flames without any soul power fluctuations were also full of threats, it was already too late.

The bright and warm flames devoured the lush body of the ghost vine wantonly. When all the combustibles were consumed, the secrets hidden in the shadows reappeared in the world.

Thanks to the font that has not changed much in Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years, Quan Jinghua understood the information recorded on the stone wall without any obstacles:

"This is a city of murder, a hotbed of sin, and a paradise for the corrupt."

"There is no distinction between day and night here. The strong can release their thoughts and prayers, while the weak can only pray for rebirth."

"Enjoy yourself! Do whatever you want!"

"Here, suspended above the raging fire of karma -"

"Purgatory on earth!"
