Douluo Dalu: White Tiger

Chapter 20 Monster
Ye Xuan and others came to the black swamp. Looking at the swamp that was nearly a hundred meters wide and the rolling mud, they knew there must be soul beasts in it without Ye Xuan saying anything.

Yan scratched his head and said, "Brother Xuan, how do we get there?"

"Activate your martial spirit and attack directly!" Ye Xuan answered very straightforwardly. Things that can be solved by hand are not a problem at all.

Xie Yue, Yan and Hu Liena activated their martial spirits directly and rushed out in an instant. Ye Xuan arrived later but was the first to reach the swamp.

A crocodile with black scales rushed out of the swamp, opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan counted them and found that there were five soul beasts, not one was missing.

Silver light gathered on his right leg, and then he swept his right leg out, releasing a large amount of silver light. The crocodiles were hit by the light, and their bodies exploded instantly, with bright red blood falling like raindrops.

The mud in the swamp splashed everywhere. Ye Xuan looked at his brocade white robe and without any hesitation, he directly used the nothingness skill in his soul bone.

His body began to become illusory, and a large amount of mud fell down and passed directly through his body without staining him at all.

When they arrived at the other side of the swamp, they looked back and almost couldn't help laughing. Xie Yue and Yan didn't see anything at all just now. They were illuminated by the strong light and fell directly into the mud. Together with the mud that fell just now, they now looked almost like the Terracotta Warriors.

"Where's Hu Liena?"

Ye Xuan looked around in confusion and found Hu Liena slowly walking towards him from the left, and Xie Yue and Yan also climbed out of the mud.

Xie Yue looked at Hu Liena, whose body was clean and free of any mud, and couldn't help but ask, "Sister, how did you get here?"

Hu Liena looked at the two of them carefully for a while, then burst out laughing, "Haha, I came here by walking on the bridge."

Ye Xuan, Xie Yue and Yan looked in the direction of Hu Liena's finger and found that there was a single-plank bridge on the left.

Xie Yue and Yan looked at themselves, then at the single-plank bridge, and wiped the mud off their faces. "Why didn't you tell me there was a bridge earlier?"

"You didn't ask?" Hu Liena looked at the two of them with innocent eyes.

Ye Xuan looked at the sky. The sun was already setting and a cold wind was blowing in the barren mountain. "Okay, let's find a place to spend the night. By the way, look for a river so you two can wash up!"

Perhaps they were lucky, they first found a stream, and after washing their bodies, they found a cave suitable for spending the night.

Although the cave is not big, it is big enough for four people to rest for a night.

They lit a bonfire in the cave to warm themselves, and took out their dry food and water and began to eat in small bites.

After eating and drinking, Ye Xuan said, "Xie Yue, Yan, the three of us will each keep watch for four hours in case any soul beast sees the fire and comes over."

"Okay, Brother Xuan!" The two agreed and leaned back in the cave to rest.

Soon Hu Liena and Yan began to snore softly, while Ye Xuan kept picking up branches and sticks to keep the bonfire burning. He looked at the starry night sky and thought about how to improve his own soul skills.

Xie Yue quietly walked to Ye Xuan and sat down, saying softly: "Brother Xuan, I have some questions I want to ask you."

"You can ask, but I may not answer!"

"It's like this, I'm also creating my own soul skills, but I don't have any clue, so I want to know what you felt when you created your own soul skills, Brother Xuan. I know this is abrupt, but I really want to know." Xie Yue's voice was a little anxious.

Ye Xuan leaned against the wall and slowly said, "I can't help you. My situation is rather special, and it's beyond your reach."

The Divine Punishment Silver Spear is a real artifact, which is simply not something that Xie Yue can touch. Hu Liena might be able to do it, after all, Hu Liena's martial spirit and talent are higher than Xie Yue's, but that is just a maybe. Hu Liena in the original book was not chosen by God.

"Okay, I understand, Brother Xuan!" Xie Yue walked back to his seat somewhat dejectedly and began to rest with his eyes closed. It would be his turn to keep watch later...

Ye Xuan and Xie Yue were very calm when they were on guard, and no soul beasts were attracted by the fire until the sky was just beginning to lighten. Now was Yan's time for guarding, and it was also the darkest time of the day.

Yan seemed to hear heavy footsteps vaguely, but he was a little uncertain, so he prepared to go outside the cave to take a look. If there really was a soul beast, he would wake everyone up immediately.

As soon as he walked out of the cave, he saw a pair of green eyes, and Yan immediately shouted, "There is a soul beast!"

Then he activated his martial soul, and the Fire Lord's martial soul appeared behind him. Lava-like patterns appeared on his body, and a yellow soul ring rose under his feet, and he attacked directly.

Ye Xuan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena were also awakened instantly and looked outside the cave. They saw that the soul beast was a bear about five meters long with a golden body.

"The golden-armored bear is about five hundred years old, which is just right for you to practice with." Ye Xuan handed the soul bear to Xie Yue and others to deal with without any concern.

Although they have formed a team, Ye Xuan is not their bodyguard, so there is no need for him to deal with the soul beast by himself when it appears.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena also knew this truth, so they activated their martial spirits and rushed out to help Yan.

Yan and Xie Yue were responsible for the frontal attack and containment, while Hu Liena was controlling it from behind. Yan's flaming fist and Xie Yue's moon blade flashing with cold light hit the golden armored bear, causing the golden armored bear to roar like an animal, but did not cause any actual damage to the golden armored bear.

You should know that the Golden Armored Bear is a soul beast famous for its defense. The fur on its body is as hard as golden armor, and its only weakness is its eyes.

Ye Xuan knew the golden armored bear's weakness, but he had no intention of telling it. Instead, he closed his eyes and rested.

Yan and Xie Yue outside the cave were very depressed, because even if they used their soul skills, they could only leave minor wounds on the golden armored bear. Not to mention Hu Liena, her first soul skill was mind control.

The golden armored bear seemed to have set its sights on Hu Liena, ignoring the attacks of Xie Yue and Yan, and rushed straight towards Hu Liena. Xie Yue's eyes narrowed, and he stood in front of Hu Liena, ready to block the golden armored bear's attack.

Suddenly, the soul rings of Xie Yue and Hu Liena merged together, and their bodies also merged together, forming a person with long flowing hair, who looked indistinguishable as a man or a woman. There was a moon blade in their hands, and a faint red mist was spreading around them.

Ye Xuan, sensing something unusual, opened his eyes and saw this scene. He immediately determined that this was a martial soul fusion technique. He remembered that in the original novel, the martial soul fusion technique of Xie Yue and Hu Liena was called: Demon Charm!
"What's going on?" Xie Yue and Hu Liena looked at their fused bodies, feeling a little confused.

There was no time to think, as the golden-armored bear had already rushed over. The demon used the moon blade in his hand to chop directly. Although it was a bit difficult, it still broke the golden-armored bear's defense, which made the three of them happy.
