Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 216 Red Mark on the Neck
Although the guards of Dilongmen no longer recognized Liuxing and Liuying, both of them had tokens of Dilongmen in their hands, so the guards quickly ran in to report.

Soon, a noisy sound came from inside the dragon gate.

"Meteor, Firefly, you're finally here. That's great."

A pink figure rushed out of the door and ran into Liuying's arms.

More than ten years have passed, and Nan Qiuqiu has grown from a little loli to a graceful young lady, but her personality has not changed at all.

"Qiuqiu, long time no see, I miss you so much."

Liuying patted Nan Qiuqiu's pink hair lovingly and was very happy. After all, Nan Qiuqiu was her first friend and sister since she came to this world.

"Well, Liuying, I miss you too."

Nan Qiuqiu raised her head from Liuying's chest and suddenly caught a glimpse of a red mark on the collarbone below Liuying's neck. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she reached out to touch it, wondering, "Hey, Liuying, what is this red mark? Are you hurt?"

"No, it's nothing!"

Liuying grabbed Nan Qiuqiu's hand, a blush appeared on her face, and at the same time she pulled her collar to cover the conspicuous red mark.

Liu Xing's mouth twitched. Wasn't that his Jie Zhuo? He quickly came to the rescue and said, "Qiu Qiu, there are still my aunt and I. Don't you miss us?"

Luan Yu glanced at the shooting stars and fireflies, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

How could she not notice the changes in meteors and fireflies? Although she had never experienced it, she had seen pigs run even though she had never eaten pork, right?
However, she and Luanfeng were both happy to see this happen. After all, they had been inseparable for ten years, and it would be unjust for them not to be together.

Nan Qiuqiu was indeed distracted by the meteor. She put her hands on her hips and said, "You're still talking about me. Why haven't you come to see me and mom for so long?"

Seeing Nan Qiuqiu's angry look, Liuxing smiled bitterly. The main reason was that Mingdu and Longcheng were too far apart, and their identities were not suitable for them to have too frequent contact with Dilongmen, as that would bring trouble to Dilongmen.

"Qiuqiu, stop making trouble. Hurry up and invite your aunt and the others into the house. How long are you going to let them stand at the door?"

Nan Shuishui's voice came from the door. Liuxing turned around and saw Nan Shuishui and Xue Nu also came out.

Nan Shuishui hasn't changed much, but Xue Nu has become more mature and taller, especially her long legs and majestic chest, which made Liu Xing think he had recognized the wrong person.

Girls change a lot when they grow up, it’s no joke.

"You two little guys have grown up. Godmother almost didn't recognize you."

Nan Shuishui smiled and gave Liuxing and Liuying a hug respectively.

"Okay, let's go in first. This is not the place to talk."

Following Nan Shuishui, everyone entered the underground dragon gate and walked towards the innermost part of the courtyard.

"Snow Girl, you've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."

Meteor walked beside the Snow Girl and spoke softly.

The Snow Girl said calmly, "You and Liuying are different too. You've both changed a lot."

"is it?"

Meteor touched his nose.

The Snow Girl looked deeply at Meteor and Firefly. Originally, their auras were very similar, but if you looked carefully you could still tell the difference. But just now she discovered that their auras had completely merged into one, and they were indistinguishable from each other.

Soon, everyone entered a large room, which was very warm inside, in stark contrast to the cold temperature outside.

In recent years, Dilongmen has purchased a lot of soul guides, including some for daily use, because Nan Shuishui has begun to pay attention to soul guides.

Most of them were purchased by Luanyu from the Sun and Moon Empire, because the Tianhun Empire did not sell them at all.

Although they haven't seen each other for more than ten years, they are not strangers to each other. After all, they have been communicating with each other using communication soul guides and have the most basic information exchange.

Nan Qiuqiu kept pestering Liuying, and remembered the problem she discovered at the beginning, so she kept chasing Liuying.

Meteor explained the existence of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

"Are you sure that the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire are in Sunset Forest?"

Nan Shuishui frowned and asked in confusion.

"Logically speaking, with such a precious place like this, Sunset Forest should have flourished. Why did it become a desolate place?"

"That's what I'm wondering about. The Sunset Forest in the other plane is indeed very well developed, with the number and quality of soul beasts second only to the Star Dou Great Forest. I'm afraid we can only answer this question after we find the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire."

Liuxing was also a little confused. With a natural treasure like the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, the natural environment could be improved and the vitality of heaven and earth more abundant. As long as soul beasts were not hunted on a large scale by humans, the number of soul beasts should increase over time. But the fact was that the soul beasts in the Sunset Forest were almost extinct.

"The core of Sunset Forest is shrouded in thick miasma, and the toxin is very strong. Even Lao Tianlong and I dare not stay in there for long. How are you going to deal with it?" Nan Shuishui asked.

"Don't worry about the toxins. Liuying and I are the Ultimate Fire. Any toxins are not a threat to us. Those miasma can't get close to us."

Meteor said confidently.

Given the temperature of him and the firefly flame, it is difficult for any poison to have any effect on them.

"I am the ultimate ice, and poison has no effect on me."

The Snow Girl also said lightly at this time.

Nan Shuishui showed a look of sudden realization. Their Dilongmen didn't know much about the ultimate attributes, and they really didn't know that the ultimate ice and fire could restrain poison.

She thought of the secret realm of her own sect, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes. The Dilong Sect had guarded that treasure land for many years, but had no way to enter it. Perhaps Xue Nu and Liu Xing could enter it.

Thinking of this, she said in a deep voice: "Okay, then let's go to Sunset Forest to find the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. After we come back, I will take you to a place where you should be able to get some benefits if you are lucky."

"There's no time to lose, let's set off as soon as possible."

Although Liuxing was curious about the place Nan Shuishui was talking about, the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire were the most urgent matter now.

After all, the two continents have the same geographical location. Once Poison Douluo or Tang San comes here, they will definitely be able to find the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, and then they will have no chance of success.

The best time is when Poison Douluo cannot come over, Tang San is hiding, and others don’t know about the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

Sunset Forest is not far from Dragon City. After three days of rest at Dilongmen, it took only half a day to reach Sunset Forest.

There are only five people on this trip: Meteor, Liuying, Luanyu, Nanshuishui, and Xuenu. Nan Qiuqiu wanted to come, but the core of Sunset Forest was too dangerous. Meteor and the other two were immune to poison gas because of their extreme ice and fire attributes, while Nanshuishui and Luanyu were Titled Douluo and could also protect themselves.

When you see a coniferous forest in the distance, you will know that you have reached the Sunset Forest.

Compared with the Sunset Forest in the other world, the Sunset Forest here is much smaller in area, and when viewed from the sky, the entire forest is wrapped in a miasma, making it impossible to see what is inside.

Five people fell from the sky and walked into the Sunset Forest, while Luan Yu released a large number of detection soul guides. She was the main force in searching for the Sunset Forest this time.

The five people followed the soul guide to move forward. There was no trace of soul beasts in the outskirts of Sunset Forest. There were only ordinary animals.

It was not until they went a certain distance deeper that they discovered a few soul beasts here and there, and they were only ten-year-old soul beasts.

Meteor and Firefly, who had been to the Sunset Forest in another world, looked at each other in surprise. The soul beasts in this Sunset Forest were too miserable. It looked like finding a ten thousand year soul beast in this Sunset Forest was no easier than finding a hundred thousand year soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Since they did not encounter any powerful soul beasts on the outskirts of Sunset Forest, Meteor and his companions sped up their progress.

They headed towards the interior of the Sunset Forest with a clear goal. As they moved forward, the miasma in the surrounding air began to become thicker.

However, these miasma are nothing to the five of them.

After traveling for an hour, they had already entered the interior of the Sunset Forest. As they went deeper, the vegetation became more and more lush.

However, they still haven't encountered any ten-thousand-year soul beasts, and the strongest ones are only a thousand years old.

After sensing the breath of Liuxing and the others, the thousand-year-old soul beasts quickly moved away from them and did not dare to get close at all.

The soul beasts that can survive in the current Sunset Forest have a strong instinct to seek good fortune and avoid danger.

This also resulted in the few people not having experienced a battle in such a long time since entering the Sunset Forest.

As time went by, the sky gradually darkened and the temperature of the forest began to drop sharply. Meteor and his group had been walking for almost a day, but still had not encountered many soul beasts. They were afraid that within a hundred years, the soul beasts in this forest would be completely declared extinct and it would become an ordinary forest.

Just as night fell, Liuxing and his companions finally arrived at the core of the Sunset Forest. The miasma here had already affected Luanyu and Nan Shuishui, forcing them to activate their soul shield to isolate the miasma.

Meteor, Firefly and Snow Girl also released their soul power to isolate the miasma.

After walking for about another quarter of an hour, Meteor, Firefly and Snow Girl all felt a sense of oppression at the same time, and Meteor and Firefly opened their Fire Eyes at the same time.

Under the burning golden flames, the two men clearly saw a faint white dust floating in the air. If they looked down from a high altitude, they would find that the place where they were at this moment was surrounded by a white mist.

The Snow Girl also frowned, and a white light spread out from her body. An extreme cold air burst out, turning the area within a hundred meters into ice and snow.

Meteors and fireflies can be seen clearly. In this extreme cold, the surrounding white particles seem to have encountered their natural enemies and disappear within a hundred meters.

Meteor looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice, "This is when the miasma is at its thickest. Let's camp here and rest. We'll go inside tomorrow at noon when the sun is at its hottest."

Although the ultimate ice and fire can disperse these miasma particles, their soul power is limited and it is impossible to release soul power at a high intensity all the time.
