Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 49 Bird of Paradise (Seeking follow-up reading)
"Goodbye, brother Liuxing. When we get back to Mingdu, I'll come and play with you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Hongchen and Liuying's faces darkened at the same time. They were not in a good mood at all and wished they would never see each other again.

Watching the backs of Liu Xing and the others leaving, Xiao Hongchen said thoughtfully, "Grandpa, why do you think they are looking for the thousand-year-old soul beast?"

Jing Hongchen narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Although I haven't seen it, I have heard that some gifted people, or sects with secret methods, can allow outstanding disciples to absorb spirit rings across the age limit. However, absorbing a thousand-year spirit ring as the first spirit ring requires a physical fitness exceeding that of a great spirit master, even with a secret method."

Jing Hongchen was knowledgeable and knew that the soul rings of many geniuses in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms had ages beyond the so-called optimal age, but he had never seen a first soul ring that was ready to absorb for a thousand years. Even for twin martial souls, he was afraid that only the second soul ring could absorb for a thousand years!

"How is that possible? Grandpa, you must be joking. How is it possible that someone's first spirit ring can absorb thousands of years?"

Xiao Hongchen's face was full of disbelief. He was proud of his talent, but he didn't dare to absorb the thousand-year level with his second soul ring. Now Jing Hongchen told him that someone dared to absorb the thousand-year level with his first soul ring. How could he accept it?

Jing Hongchen smiled and said, "Many powerful sects have secret methods to increase the age of spirit rings, but they consume too many resources, so most of them don't use them. As long as one has strong physical fitness, it is possible to absorb spirit rings of higher levels, such as the Body Sect."

"Grandpa, what you mean is that some of Liuxing and his men have very strong physical qualities."

Meng Hongchen was not as unbelievable as Xiao Hongchen. Although she was proud, she was not as exaggerated as Xiao Hongchen. Just because she couldn't do it didn't mean others couldn't.

"Well, that little guy named Meteor and that little girl named Firefly are probably both better than you in physical fitness."

As a ninth-level soul master, Jing Hongchen still has some vision.

"Liu Ying?"

Meng Hongchen narrowed her eyes. If it was a shooting star, she would only be happy, but if it was a firefly, she had to take it seriously. This was an obstacle and she had to be on guard against it.

She still didn't believe Liuying's words and thought that Liuxing and Liuying were siblings. After all, they looked and had similar names. If she knew that their martial spirits were the same, she would be even less likely to believe Liuying's statement.

Just like her and Xiao Hongchen, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that they are siblings, even though their martial spirits are different.

Liuxing and Liuying have the same martial spirit, look 70% similar, and have similar names. Anyone would have the first impression that they are siblings, so Meng Hongchen thought Liuying was fooling her and didn't want her to get close to her younger brother Liuxing.

"Is it due to his innate physical strength, or is it due to his twin martial spirits?"

Jing Hongchen took a deep look at the direction where Luan Yu and others left, but since they were geniuses from their Sun Moon Empire, there was no need to delve into it. If they were geniuses from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, he would have to kill them ruthlessly.

Following the map given by Jing Hongchen, Luanyu led Liuxing and others all the way south and soon came to an open valley. This valley was located in the open area of ​​the Demon Forest. From the lush grassland to the exposed rocks, to the gurgling streams and waterfalls, it formed a vibrant picture.

Looking at this valley that was totally out of tune with the Demon Forest theme, Meteor and the others were amazed. No wonder it attracted birds of paradise. This valley was indeed a clear stream in the Demon Forest.

At that moment, with a resounding cry, a large bird, gleaming with pure white light and with feathers as light and translucent as if woven from the purest crystal or silk, soared out from the valley. Hearing this melodious, clear cry, like the whisper of an angel, the group's previously slightly restless moods were instantly washed away, and they felt an unprecedented sense of calm, entering a state of ethereal tranquility.

No wonder the Bird of Paradise, which has only cultivated for a few hundred years, can survive in the Demon Forest. Any soul beast will lose its killing intent after hearing its cry. Even a soul beast with ten thousand years of cultivation will probably be affected and will not attack the Bird of Paradise.

Legend has it that the Bird of Paradise is the messenger of the God of Angels. Wherever it appears, it is accompanied by auspiciousness. It can convey oracles and guide lost people. It is a gentle soul beast and generally does not actively attack humans.

The bird of paradise landed on a hilltop, and its pure eyes looked at Meteor and his group curiously. It tilted its head and chirped again. The pleasant sound was like the sound of a clear spring, making them feel as warm as if they were soaking in a hot spring.

“What a beautiful bird!”

"so beautiful!"

Liuying and Xu Tianzhen looked at the bird of paradise in amazement, and then remembered that they would need to hunt this beautiful bird of paradise next, and felt a sense of reluctance in their hearts.

"Or, forget it!"

Ye Guyi also looked hesitant. She felt a sense of familiarity from the bird of paradise. It was like returning to her mother's arms. Moreover, the bird of paradise did not show any hostility and had no intention of attacking them. It just looked at them curiously.

Looking at the beautiful and gentle bird of paradise, even Liu Xing felt reluctant. Did he really want to kill the bird of paradise and let Ye Guyi absorb its soul ring?

Luan Yu sighed. If the bird of paradise attacked them actively, she would be able to kill it even if it was soothing and beautiful in appearance. But now, in front of several children, she couldn't do it, let alone let Ye Guyi, a six-year-old girl, kill the bird of paradise that brought her motherly warmth.

Luan Yu knew that their current mentality was more or less influenced by the Bird of Paradise, and this was also the ability of the Bird of Paradise to survive in this evil forest.

This is not a soul skill like mental suggestion, but a natural temperament.

But it is undeniable that this idea of ​​not wanting to hurt the bird of paradise does come from their heart, because they all have kindness in their hearts. If they were a person with an evil nature, even the bird of paradise would probably not have much influence on them.

"Guyi, you make the decision."

Luan Yu looked at Ye Guyi. After all, it was she who wanted to absorb the soul ring, so it would be best for her to make the decision herself.

"I've made up my mind, Aunt Luanyu. Let's go find other light-attributed soul beasts. Let this bird of paradise live quietly here."

Ye Guyi shook her head. She really couldn't bring herself to do it. Even if it was a soul beast, it was a bird of paradise that was close to humans, had a gentle personality, and represented auspiciousness. It would be difficult to kill it without a certain degree of determination.

Besides, Ye Guyi doesn't necessarily have to have the soul ring of this bird of paradise. It's just a hundred-year soul ring. It's the same if he chooses another soul beast with light attributes.
