Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Xu Guozhong's gaze eagerly passed through the ruins and headed into the third floor. What came into view was a vast underground space stretching as far as the eye could see.

He quickly scanned it with his eyes, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little.

Fortunately, at a glance, the soul guides displayed everywhere did not show any obvious signs of being lost.

This gave Xu Guozhong some comfort. At this time when he suffered a series of heavy blows, this was undoubtedly a faint ray of light in the darkness.

"Move! You bastards! I told you to move! If you have the ability, why don't you move everything here for me!"

Xu Guozhong went completely crazy. His eyes were red, his veins were bulging, and he roared at the top of his lungs. The roar echoed in the empty warehouse, carrying endless anger and despair.

At this moment, his mind and eyes were filled with the stolen rare metals, and his heart ached like a knife.

Although the storage soul guide has a limited capacity, the theft of those extremely precious rare metals is like cutting off the most tender piece of flesh from his heart, and every blow is heart-wrenching.

After calming down a bit, Xu Guozhong suppressed the pain in his heart and ordered his subordinates with gritted teeth, "Go check and see if there is any damage on the third floor."

His voice was filled with fatigue and panic. He could already imagine his own fate. Even if he was a ninth-level soul engineer, even if he was a prince of the empire and a member of the royal family, with such a heavy loss, it was already a limit for him to be able to keep his life.

Not long after, the subordinates' voices, visibly trembling, reached him. "Your Highness... all sealed milk bottles and fixed-type soul guide shells above level five have been stolen..."

Upon hearing the news, Xu Guozhong felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.

"Wow--" He could no longer suppress his inner grief and anger, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, and his whole body was shaking.

In an instant, his face turned pale, like white paper, without any blood.

"Too cruel! These bastards are too cruel!" He muttered to himself, his voice full of helplessness and resentment.

At this moment of despair, Xu Guozhong's eyes seemed to be drawn by something and he subconsciously looked in one direction.

In that direction, a strange, faint red light was quietly spreading, like the tentacles of a devil, eroding the space bit by bit.

The speed at which the red light spread was astonishingly fast. In just a moment, a layer of bright red had spread under the originally piled-up fixed-type soul guide shells, like a sea of ​​blood.

As an experienced ninth-level soul engineer, Xu Guozhong only took a glance and immediately determined what it was.

A flash of deep despair flashed across his eyes. He seemed to have lost his soul. He stood there blankly, muttering to himself, "Timed high-explosive soul guide..."

The voice was hollow and empty, revealing the fear and powerlessness of the impending disaster.

The crimson light rises up!

"what's wrong?"

Gu Yuena moved lightly with lotus steps, holding two glasses of attractive red wine steadily in her hands, her posture was as elegant as an elf in the night.

She walked to Liuxing and gently handed him a cup. Then the two of them leaned on the exquisite balcony railing of the villa, quietly admiring the beautiful dreamlike night view in front of them.

The moonlight is like water, sprinkling on them, adding a touch of tranquility and romance to the picture.

As for Liuying, she had already been happily dragged away by Meng Hongchen.

Meng Hongchen said that she wanted Liuying to try out the beautiful clothes she had just bought, but as to whether she had other plans in mind, only she herself knew best.

Maybe there are some little thoughts hidden behind this that only girls can understand.

"it's not a big deal."

Liu Xing frowned slightly, raised his hand and rubbed his brow in confusion, looking bewildered. "I just keep feeling like something bad is about to happen, but when I think about it carefully, I really can't figure out what it is. This feeling is really depressing."

Logically speaking, this intense storm tonight should have come to an end.

Although the scene was quite large, with various factions gathered together and the atmosphere as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, in reality, whether it was the Sun-Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church, the Body Sect, the Sky Soul Empire, the Star Luo Empire, or Shrek Academy, everyone exercised restraint and did not completely intensify the conflict.

After all, Xu Tianran is an important figure in the Sun-Moon Empire. It is impossible for him to openly engage in a large-scale head-on conflict with other forces in a core area like Mingdu.

After weighing the pros and cons, he would definitely choose to let other forces break out and leave. At most, he would use some tricks to drive them westward.

Based on this analysis, after experiencing this uproar, Mingdu should gradually return to its former tranquility.

After all, the forces that should have left have already embarked on their respective journeys home. Meteor racked his brains, but really couldn't think of anything else that would make him feel this vague sense of unease for no reason.

Was I overthinking it? But that uneasy premonition was so real, it lingered in my heart and could not be shaken off.

Gu Yuena's slender eyebrows slightly frowned. At her level, she naturally would not easily think that the feeling of shooting stars was just an unreasonable illusion.

She knew very well that some seemingly accidental impulses were often very likely to foreshadow the inevitable facts that were about to happen.

Especially for people like them who have achieved great success in cultivation and are powerful, intuition has long surpassed the scope of ordinary senses. At many critical moments, intuition is even more accurate than any precise calculations and reasoning, like guidance from the unknown.

But she couldn't imagine what else would happen. She had asked Di Tian and others to pay attention to everything that happened in Mingdu. Given Di Tian's ability and loyalty to her, if there was any major change, he would definitely report it to her immediately.

Since there has been no movement from Di Tian until now, it is reasonable to infer that nothing major has happened that would cause a big uproar.

But Liu Xing's real premonition of uneasiness at this moment made her dare not underestimate it in the slightest.

She understood very well the frustration in Liuxing's heart, the feeling of knowing clearly that something was about to happen and the alarm bells in his heart were ringing, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the truth behind the fog. It was like there was a tangled mess stuck in his heart that he couldn't cut through or sort out, which was really frustrating.

"Don't overthink it. If anything happens, don't forget we're here with you."

Gu Yuena comforted softly, her words as gentle as a spring breeze.

She hesitated slightly, a hint of hesitation appeared on her face, as if she was having a difficult struggle in her heart.

But soon, as if she had made some firm decision, she drank the glass of red wine in her hand in one gulp with a decisive movement.

After putting down the wine glass, she slowly stretched out her hand, which was as warm and delicate as mutton-fat jade, and gently pressed it on Liuxing's forehead.

Her movements were gentle and soothing, trying to help Meteor relieve the upset in her heart.

There was a hint of coolness in her palm, as if it could dispel the gloom in Meteor's heart.

The moment Liuxing felt the cold touch, his body froze slightly and he felt a little at a loss.

He subconsciously turned his head, his eyes full of surprise, and stared straight into Gu Yuena's deep and charming purple eyes.

Deep in those dreamy purple eyes, Meteor keenly caught a hint of subtle shyness. This shyness was like a meteor twinkling in the night sky, fleeting, but incomparably moving.

"What are you doing?"

At this subtle and quiet moment, Liuying's crisp voice suddenly came from behind them.

There was a hint of grievance and surprise that was difficult to conceal in his voice.

Liuxing felt the corner of his mouth twitch uncontrollably and thought to himself that he was doomed. As for Gu Yuena, she looked like a suddenly frightened deer. The hand that was originally on Liuxing's forehead was instantly withdrawn as if she had been electrocuted. The movement was so fast that it almost brought up a breeze.

The two of them hurriedly turned around and happened to see the firefly, which had regained its original look.

At this moment, Liuying changed into a brand new set of clothes. The clothes were well-tailored and perfectly outlined her graceful figure. She stood tall and graceful, like a blooming flower, exuding charming charm.

However, at this moment, she seemed to be petrified, standing there blankly, not moving at all.

Behind her was the embarrassed Meng Hongchen. She glanced at Gu Yuena with a subtle look of admiration. "I just gave you a chance to be alone, and you actually went straight for it." (End of this chapter)
