Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 40: Star Forest, Opening

Following the accident last night, Xue Di's attitude towards Shu Yan today seemed to have returned to the time when they first met, cold and distant, making Shu Yan a little at a loss for a moment.

Of course, if Xue Di's earlobes hidden under her hair were not slightly red, all this would seem a little more realistic.

Xue Di looked at Shu Yan's back with a complicated look in her eyes. To be honest, after she came to her senses last night, she didn't feel any discomfort except a little annoyance. It was just that the inexplicable strange feeling in her heart made her feel uneasy all the time. But until the moment she saw Shu Yan, this feeling disappeared completely in an instant...

Shu Yan always felt that there was a shadowy gaze staring at his back. He could guess who it was, but he didn't know how to start a conversation. The two of them were like this, both of them clearly wanted to say something, but neither of them was willing to speak first.

……

It was almost noon when Xu Jiujiu returned from the palace. She looked a little tired, but she smiled quickly after seeing Shu Yan. She leaned into Shu Yan's arms, rubbed him gently, and then said:
"The things you want are all in the dark prison. Senior Broken Star has sealed their spirit power. By the way, I also told my brother that we were going to the Star Dou Great Forest. He couldn't resist me, so he finally agreed."

Shu Yan kissed Xu Jiujiu's forehead and said softly:
"Thank you for your hard work, Jiujiu."

Xu Jiujiu snorted softly, she looked at Shu Yan's lips and swallowed, obviously, she was not satisfied that Shu Yan only kissed her forehead, she liked the feeling of kissing Shu Yan, but now there was an "outsider" beside her, Xu Jiujiu had to endure it.

Bingdi pouted slightly as he watched the two of them being intimate, then he pulled Xuedi's hand and said expectantly:
"Xue'er, can you..."

"Don't even think about it. You can't."

Well, Bingdi knew this would be the result. Xuedi could accept hugging and cuddle with her as best friends, but if she wanted to go further, she would definitely be severely rejected. There would be no hope of a breakthrough at all.

On the other side, Xue Di looked at Shu Yan being intimate with Xu Jiujiu in his arms as if no one was around, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She snorted coldly, which instantly woke up Xu Jiujiu, who was still in a sweet mood. After coming to her senses, Xu Jiujiu quickly broke away from Shu Yan's arms, her blushing face looking a little charming and shy. She was so busy being shy that she naturally didn't notice Xue Di's somewhat weird expression.

"Now is not the time for you to be intimate. Go do what you need to do first."

Snow Emperor said in a deep voice.

Shu Yan coughed lightly, then said:

"Okay, now that everything is ready, go get those guys and we'll set off immediately."

Xu Jiujiu also nodded repeatedly, and then took the three of them to the death row of the Xingluo Empire. After Xue Di froze all the evil soul masters, they were put into the storage soul guide device.

In this day and age, it is not difficult to find evil soul masters. Xu Jiujiu only needed to send people to a remote village a few hundred kilometers outside Xingluo City and spread the word that a genius born with an evil martial soul and an innate soul power of level eight was born there. Then these guys showed up on their own that night. Just when they were about to massacre the village and search for people, the royal secret guards took action. After killing several people, they detained this small group of evil soul masters and brought them into Xingluo City only after completely sealing off their soul power and martial souls.

This trip was a long one, but they didn't bring Nebula Douluo with them, and they also rejected the offer of Broken Star Douluo to accompany them for protection. Although the two Titled Douluos were worried, they looked at the Ice and Snow Emperors, um... well, they didn't really want to go. After all, standing next to these two really made them feel terrified. Since they didn't need them, they shouldn't rush to join them, so as to avoid being beaten up by the two dissatisfied people. ...

The journey to the Star Dou Great Forest is not too far. The Star Luo Empire is generally located in the southeast of the continent, and a long section of its border is close to the sea. This also leads to a relatively mild and humid climate in most parts of the country. Most areas of the world-famous Star Dou Great Forest are also located within the territory of the Star Luo Empire.

After thousands of years of evolution, the former Star Dou Great Forest has shrunk a lot, and large tracts of land on the periphery have been occupied by the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. The area of ​​the entire Star Dou Great Forest is also shrinking. This is a fact, and it is also a concrete manifestation of the conflict between humans and soul beasts.

With the speed of the Two Ice and Snow Emperors, even with Shu Yan and the other two, the four of them still arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest in the early morning of the second day.

In the lush forest, ancient trees are towering, vines hang down from the treetops and coil around the branches. The chirping sounds are endless and the rich breath of life is steaming. This is a huge and prosperous forest, and it is also one of the most feared forbidden areas for humans. But for the strong, this forest also contains countless opportunities and even treasures.

It seemed that it had just rained, and the forest ground was still a little wet and muddy. Xue Di and the other three landed on the outskirts. He frowned slightly and looked into the depths, as if he had some feelings in his heart.

"Do whatever you want to do quickly. I seem to have sensed the aura of Di Tian just now. This is not the Far North. I can only barely hold him back for a while, not to mention that those guys below Di Tian are also extremely difficult to deal with."

Xue Di said calmly while standing on a huge rock.

Shu Yan had said before that there was no need to enter the mixed circle, and she only needed to stay on the periphery. Naturally, she was too lazy to go deeper. The deeper she went, the more dangerous it would be. Not in the Far North, the gap in combat power between her and Di Tian was too great, and she didn't want to take any risks.

Bingdi and Xu Jiujiu moved back a little, and a silver light flowed in Shu Yan's hand. The next moment, the eighth-level soul guide device Yin Ming's Fall slowly rose into the air. The silver-white metal was a little dazzling under the sunlight. The other three people also squinted their eyes and watched this scene, wondering what Shu Yan would do next.

After the Fall of Yin and Ming rose to a certain height, Shu Yan flipped his palm slightly, and the next moment, those evil soul masters who had lost consciousness appeared on the ground.

There are about twenty of these evil soul masters. The one with the highest soul power level has reached the Soul King level, and the weakest one has the cultivation of a great soul master. The combat power of evil soul masters is generally much higher than that of ordinary soul masters. This group of guys usually live in deep mountains and old forests. The Xingluo Empire hates them to the core. This time, they were lurked out under the pretext of "evil soul master genius", which can be regarded as getting rid of harm to the people.

A sky blue light flashed in Shu Yan's eyes, and the next moment, countless sharp ice spikes suddenly rose from the ground, blood splattered, and broken limbs lay on the ground. These evil soul masters lost their lives while they were conscious. The strong smell of blood drifted away with the breeze. After watching this scene for a long time, his face turned slightly pale, and he turned his head slightly, no longer looking at this scene.

Xue Di and Bing Di just watched this scene quietly, like watching a play, without any emotional changes at all, they were just curious about what Shu Yan would do next...
